Habakoka 1
1 Faminaniana ny loza hanjo, izay hitan’ i Habakoka mpaminany.
The burden that Habakkuk the prophet saw.
2 Jehovah ô, indrisy ny hahelan’ ny efa nitarainako, Nefa tsy nohenoinao! Mitaraina aho hoe: Loza! Nefa tsy vonjenao ihany.
How long, O Lord, shall I cry out, and you will not heed? Shall I shout to you while suffering violence, and you will not save?
3 Nahoana no ataonao mahita faharatsiana aho. Ary mijery fahoriana Hianao? Fa fandravana sy loza no eo anatrehako, Ary misy ady, sady miseho ny fifandirana.
Why have you revealed to me iniquity and hardship, to see plunder and injustice opposite me? And there has been judgment, but the opposition is more powerful.
4 Koa noho izany dia ngoly ny lalàna, Ary tsy mivoaka ny rariny; Fa irohonan’ ny ratsy fanahy ny marina, Ka izany no ivoahan’ ny fitsarana miangatra.
Because of this, the law has been torn apart, and judgment does not persevere to its conclusion. For the impious prevail against the just. Because of this, a perverse judgment is issued.
5 Jereo any amin’ ny jentilisa, ka diniho, ary gagà dia gagà; Fa manao zavatra amin’ ny andronareo Aho, Izay tsy hinoanareo, na dia holazaina aminareo aza.
Gaze among the nations, and see. Admire, and be astounded. For a work has been done in your days, which no one will believe when it is told.
6 Fa, indro, atsangako ny Kaldeana, Dia ilay firenena masiaka sady mirehidrehitra, Izay mamaky eran’ ny tany Hahazoany fonenana izay tsy azy.
For behold, I will raise up the Chaldeans, a bitter and swift people, marching across the width of the earth, to possess tabernacles not their own.
7 Mahatsiravina sy mahatahotra izy; Avy amin’ ny tenany ihany ny fitsarany sy ny fahalehibiazany.
It is dreadful and terrible. From themselves, judgment and their burden will issue.
8 Faingana noho ny leoparda ny soavaliny Sady masiaka noho ny amboadia hariva; Ny mpitaingin-tsoavaliny mampiriotra, eny, ny mpitaingin-tsoavaliny dia avy lavitra; Miezaka toy ny voromahery maika hihinana izy.
Their horses are more nimble than leopards and swifter than wolves in the evening; their horsemen will spread out. And then their horsemen will approach from far away; they will fly like the eagle, hurrying to devour.
9 Hampidi-doza no ihavian’ izy rehetra; Ny handroso ihany no atrehiny fatratra, Ka manangona sambotra toy ny fasika izy.
They will all approach towards the prey; their face is like a burning wind. And they will gather captives together like sand.
10 Izy manakora ny mpanjaka, Ary ihomehezany ny mpanapaka; Ny tanàna mimanda rehetra dia ihomehezany, Ka dia manandratra tovon-tany izy ka mahafata azy.
And concerning kings, he will triumph, and sovereign rulers will be his laughingstock, and he will laugh over every fortress, and he will transport a rampart and seize it.
11 Dia mihelina toy ny rivotra izy Ary mandroso ka mahazo heloka. Izany heriny izany no andriamaniny!
Then his spirit will be altered, and he will cross over and fall. Such is his strength from his god.
12 Tsy hatrizay hatrizay va Hianao, Jehovah Andriamanitro, Iray Masiko? Tsy ho faty izahay; Ry Jehovah ô, ho famaizana no nanendrenao ireny, Ry Vatolampy ô, fananarana no nanangananao azy
Have you not existed from the beginning, Lord my God, my holy one, and so we shall not die? Lord, you have stationed him for judgment, and you have established that his strength will be swept away.
13 Hianao, Izay madio maso ka tsy te-hitsinjo ny ratsy Ary tsy mahajery fahoriana, Nahoana Hianao no mijery izay mamitaka Ary mangìna, raha ny ratsy fanahy mandrapaka ny marina noho izy,
Your eyes are pure, you do not behold evil, and you cannot look towards iniquity. Why do you look upon the agents of iniquity, and remain silent, while the impious is devouring one who is more just than himself?
14 Ary manao ny olona ho toy ny hazandrano any an-dranomasina, Sy ho toy ny biby mandady sy mikisaka, izay tsy mana-mpanapaka?
And you will make men like the fish of the sea and like the creeping things that have no ruler.
15 Aingainy amin’ ny fintana izy rehetra, Samboriny amin’ ny haratony Ary sarihany amin’ ny harato tarihiny; Ka dia faly sy ravoravo izy.
He lifted up everything with his hook. He drew them in with his dragnet, and gathered them into his netting. Over this, he will rejoice and exult.
16 Koa izany no amonoany zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an’ ny haratony sy andoroany ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ ny harato tarihiny; Fa ireo no ahazoany hanina matsiro sy anjara matavy.
For this reason, he will offer victims to his dragnet, and he will sacrifice to his netting. For through them, his portion has been made fat, and his meals elite.
17 Koa noho izany dia hanaisotra ny ao amin’ ny tandrohony va izy Ary hamono firenena mandrakariva ka tsy hiantra?
Because of this, therefore, he expands his dragnet and will not be lenient in continually putting to death the peoples.
