Avakum 3
1 Molitva proroka Avakuma; za pjevanje.
A PRAYER OF THE PROPHET AMBACUM, WITH A SONG.
2 Gospode, èuh rijeè tvoju, i uplaših se; Gospode, djelo svoje usred godina saèuvaj u životu, usred godina objavi ga, u gnjevu sjeti se milosti.
O Lord, I have heard your report, and was afraid: I considered your works, and was amazed: you shall be known between the two living creatures, you shall be acknowledged when the years draw near; you shall be manifested when the time is come; when my soul is troubled, you will in wrath remember mercy.
3 Bog doðe od Temana i svetac s gore Farana; slava njegova pokri nebesa i zemlja se napuni hvale njegove.
God shall come from Thaeman, and the Holy One from the dark shady mount Pharan. (Pause)
4 Svjetlost mu bijaše kao sunce, zraci izlažahu mu iz ruku, i ondje bješe sakrivena (sila) njegova.
His excellence covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. And his brightness shall be as light; [there were] horns in his hands, and he caused a mighty love of his strength.
5 Pred njim iðaše pomor, i živo ugljevlje iðaše ispod nogu njegovijeh.
Before his face shall go a report, and it shall go forth into the plains,
6 Stade, i izmjeri zemlju, pogleda i razmetnu narode, raspadoše se vjeène gore, slegoše se humovi vjeèni; putovi su mu vjeèni.
the earth stood at his feet and trembled: he saw, and the nations melted away: the mountains were violently burst through, the everlasting hills melted at his everlasting going forth.
7 Vidjeh šatore Etiopske u muci, ustreptaše zavjesi zemlji Madijanskoj.
Because of troubles I looked upon the tents of the Ethiopians: the tabernacles also of the land of Madiam shall be dismayed.
8 Eda li se na rijeke razgnjevi Gospod? eda li se na rijeke raspali gnjev tvoj? na more jarost tvoja, kad si pojezdio na konjma svojim i na kolima svojim za spasenje?
Was you angry, O Lord, with the rivers? or [was] your wrath against the rivers, or your anger against the sea? for you will mount on your horses, and your chariots are salvation.
9 Pomoli se luk tvoj kao što si se zakleo plemenima; razdro si zemlju za rijeke.
Surely you did bend they bow at scepters, says the Lord. (Pause) The land of rivers shall be torn asunder.
10 Vidješe te gore i uzdrktaše, povodanj navali; bezdana pusti glas svoj, uvis podiže ruke svoje.
The nations shall see you and be in pain, [as you do] divide the moving waters: the deep uttered her voice, and raised her form on high.
11 Sunce i mjesec stadoše u stanu svom, idoše prema svjetlosti tvoje strijele, prema sijevanju sjajnoga koplja tvojega.
The sun was exalted, and the moon stood still in her course: your darts shall go forth at the light, at the brightness of the gleaming of your arms.
12 Srdito si išao po zemlji, gnjevno si gazio narode.
You will bring low the land with threatening, and in wrath you will break down the nations.
13 Izašao si na spasenje narodu svojemu, na spasenje s pomazanikom svojim; razmrskao si glavu kuæi bezbožnièkoj do vrata otkrivši temelj.
You went forth for the salvation of your people, to save your anointed: you shall bring death on the heads of transgressors; you has brought bands upon [their] neck. (Pause)
14 Njegovijem kopljima probio si glavu selima njegovijem kad navaljivahu kao vihor da me razaspu, radovahu se kao da æe proždrijeti siromaha u potaji.
You did cut asunder the heads of princes with amazement, they shall tremble in it; they shall burst their bridles, [they shall be] as a poor man devouring in secret.
15 Išao si po moru na konjma svojim, po gomili mnoge vode.
And you do cause your horses to enter the sea, disturbing much water.
16 Èuh, i utroba se moja uskoleba, usne mi uzdrktaše na glas, u kosti mi uðe truhlež, i ustresoh se na mjestu svom; kako æu poèivati u dan nevolje, kad doðe na narod koji æe ga opustošiti.
I watched, and my belly trembled at the sound of the prayer of my lips, and trembling entered into my bones, and my frame was troubled within me; I will rest in the day of affliction, from going up to the people of my sojourning.
17 Jer smokva neæe cvasti, niti æe biti roda na lozi vinovoj; rod æe maslinov prevariti, i njive neæe dati hrane, ovaca æe nestati iz tora, i goveda neæe biti u oboru.
For [though] the fig tree shall bear no fruit, and there shall be no produce on the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall produce no food: the sheep have failed from the pasture, and there are no oxen at the cribs;
18 Ali æu se ja radovati u Gospodu, veseliæu se u Bogu spasenja svojega.
yet I will exult in the Lord, I will joy in God my Saviour.
19 Gospod je Gospod (sila) moja, i daæe mi noge kao u košute, i vodiæe me po visinama mojim. Naèelniku pjevaèkom uz žice moje.
The Lord God is my strength, and he will perfectly strengthen my feet; he mounts me upon high places, that I may conquer by his song.
