Anbaaqoom 1
1 Raajii Anbaaqoom raajichi arge.
The burden that Habacuc the prophet saw.
2 Yaa Waaqayyo, ani hamma yoomiittin gargaarsaaf sitti iyyadha? Ati garuu na hin dhaggeeffattu; yookaan ani hamma yoomiitti, “Goolii!” jedhee sitti booʼee ati garuu na hin oolchitu?
How long, O Lord, shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear? shall I cry out to thee suffering violence, and thou wilt not save?
3 Ati maaliif akka ani murtii dabe argu na goota? Ati maaliif balleessaa namaa obsita? Badiisnii fi gooliin fuula koo dura jiru; lollii fi waldhabiinsi baayʼateera.
Why hast thou shewn me iniquity and grievance, to see rapine and injustice before me? and there is a judgment, but opposition is more powerful.
4 Kanaafuu seerri laamshaʼeera; murtiin qajeelaan dabsameera. Akka murtiin qajeelaan jalʼifamuuf; namoonni hamoon qajeelota marsu.
Therefore the law is torn in pieces, and judgment cometh not to the end: because the wicked prevaileth against the just, therefore wrong judgment goeth forth.
5 “Saboota hubadhaa ilaalaa; akka malees dinqisiifadhaa. Ani bara keessan keessa waan isin yoo isinitti himame illee hin amanne tokko nan hojjedha.
Behold ye among the nations, and see: wonder, and be astonished: for a work is done in your days, which no man will believe when it shall be told.
6 Ani warra Baabilon, uummata gara jabeessaa fi ariifataa, kan iddoo jireenya isaa hin taʼin qabachuuf guutummaa lafaa keessa yaaʼu sana nan kaasa.
For behold, I will raise up the Chaldeans, a bitter and swift nation, marching upon the breadth of the earth, to possess the dwelling places that are not their own.
7 Isaan saba sodaatamuu fi naasisuu dha; isaan ofii isaaniitiifuu seera; ulfina isaaniis ni guddifatu.
They are dreadful, and terrible: from themselves shall their judgment, and their burden proceed.
8 Fardeen isaanii qeerransa caalaa saffisu; yeeyyii galgalaa caalaa sodaachisu. Namoonni isaanii kanneen farda yaabbatan ariitiidhaan gulufu; abbootiin farda isaaniis fagoodhaa dhufu. Isaan akkuma risaa waa nyaachuuf ariifatuu barrisu;
Their horses are lighter than leopards, and swifter than evening wolves; and their horsemen shall be spread abroad: for their horsemen shall come from afar, they shall fly as an eagle that maketh haste to eat.
9 isaan hundinuu jeequmsaaf dhufu. Tuunni isaanii akkuma bubbee gammoojjii gara fuula duraatti qajeela; namoota hidhamanis akkuma cirrachaa walitti qaba.
They shall all come to the prey, their face is like a burning wind: and they shall gather together captives as the sand.
10 Isaan mootota tuffatanii bulchitootatti qoosu. Daʼannoo hundatti ni kolfu; biyyoos tuulanii isa qabatu.
And their prince shall triumph over kings, and princes shall be his laughingstock: and he shall laugh at every strong hold, and shall cast up a mount, and shall take it.
11 Ergasii namoonni yakka hojjetan kanneen humna isaanii waaqa isaanii godhatan, akka bubbee lafa haxaaʼanii karaa isaanii itti fufu.”
Then shall his spirit be changed, and he shall pass, and fall: this is his strength of his god.
12 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati bara baraa jalqabdee jirta mitii? Yaa Waaqa ko, yaa Qulqullicha ko, ati gonkumaa hin duutu. Yaa Waaqayyo, ati akka isaan murtii kennaniif isaan muuddeerta; yaa Kattaa ko, ati akka isaan nama adabaniif isaan ramaddeerta.
Wast thou not from the beginning, O Lord my God, my holy one, and we shall not die? Lord, thou hast appointed him for judgment: and made him strong for correction.
13 Iji kee akka waan hamaa hin ilaalleef akka malee qulqulluu dha; ati daba argitee obsaan dhiisuu hin dandeessu. Yoos ati maaliif obsaan namoota hamoo ilaalta? Ati maaliif yeroo namoonni hamoon warra isaan caalaa qajeeloo taʼan liqimsanitti calʼistaa?
Thy eyes are too pure to behold evil, and thou canst not look on iniquity. Why lookest thou upon them that do unjust things, and holdest thy peace when the wicked devoureth the man that is more just than himself?
14 Ati namoota akka qurxummii galaana keessaa, akka uumamawwan galaanaa kanneen bulchaa hin qabnee gooteerta.
And thou wilt make men as the fishes of the sea, and as the creeping things that have no ruler.
15 Diinni hokkoodhaan isaan hunda ol baasa; kiyyoo isaatiinis isaan harkisa; kiyyoo isaa keessatti walitti isaan qabata; kanaafuu inni ni gammada; ni ililchas.
He lifted up all them with his hook, he drew them in his drag, and gathered them into his net: for this he will be glad and rejoice.
16 Inni sababii kiyyoo isaatiin bashannanee nyaata isaa filatamaatti gammaduuf kiyyoo isaatiif aarsaa dhiʼeessa; kiyyoo isaatiif illee ixaana aarsa.
Therefore will he offer victims to his drag, and he will sacrifice to his net: because through them his portion is made fat, and his meat dainty.
17 Inni kiyyoo isaa keessaa garagalchuudhaan, gara laafina malee ittuma fufee saboota balleessuu qabaa?
For this cause therefore he spreadeth his net, and will not spare continually to slay the nations.
