1 Chirevo chakaratidzwa muprofita Habhakuki.
The oracle which he saw Habakkuk the prophet.
2 Haiwa Jehovha, ndicharamba ndichidanidzira, ndichitsvaka rubatsiro kusvikira riniko, asi musingandinzwi? Kana kudana kwamuri ndichiti, “Ndorwiswa!” asi hamundiponesi?
Until when? O Yahweh have I cried for help and not you will hear I cry out to you violence and not you save.
3 Sei muchiita kuti ndione kusaruramisira? Sei muchirega zvakaipa zvichingoitwa? Kuparadza nokuita nechisimba zviri pamberi pangu; pano kukakavara, uye kurwa kuri kuwanda.
Why? do you make see me wickedness and mischief do you look at? and devastation and violence [are] to before me and it has been strife and contention it arises.
4 Naizvozvo murayiro hauchisina simba, uye kutonga kwakarurama hakuchaonekwi. Vakaipa vanokomba vakarurama, zvokuti kururamisira kunominamiswa.
There-fore it grows numb [the] law and not it comes forth to perpetuity justice for [the] wicked [is] surrounding the righteous [person] there-fore it comes forth justice perverted.
5 “Tarisa ndudzi dzavanhu, ucherechedze, ugoshamiswa zvirokwazvo. Nokuti ndichaita chimwe chinhu pamazuva ako chawanga usingazobvumi, kunyange dai waichiudzwa.
See among the nations and look and be astounded be astonished for a deed [I am] about to do in days your [which] not you will believe if it will be recounted.
6 Ndiri kumutsa vaBhabhironi ruya rudzi rune utsinye, rune hasha, runopararira pasi pose kuti rubvute nzvimbo dzokugara dzisiri dzavo.
For here I [am] about to raise up the Chaldeans the nation bitter and impetuous which goes to [the] expanses of [the] earth to take possession of dwellings [which] not [belong] to it.
7 Vanhu vanotyisa uye vanovhundukwa; vasina murayiro unovatonga uye vanongozvitsvakira kukudzwa.
[is] terrifying And awesome it from itself justice its and dignity its it comes forth.
8 Mabhiza avo anomhanya kukunda ingwe, anotyisa kukunda mhumhi mumadekwana. Mauto avo amabhiza anomhanya asingadzoki; vatasvi vamabhiza vanobva kure kure. Vanobhururuka segora rinotsvaka kuparadza;
And they are swift more than leopards horses its and they are keen more than wolves of [the] evening and they paw [the] ground warhorses its and horsemen its from a distance they come they fly like an eagle making haste to devour.
9 vanouya vose kuzoita zvechisimba. Mapoka avo ehondo anouya semhepo inovhuvhuta mugwenga vachiunganidza nhapwa sejecha.
All of it for violence it comes [the] totality of faces their [is] east-ward and it gathered like sand captive[s].

And it kings it derides and rulers [are] laughter to it it at every fortress it laughs and it heaped up earth and it captured it.
11 Ipapo vanopfuura semhepo, vanopfuura vasingamiri, varume vane mhosva, simba ravo ndiye mwari wavo.”
Then it swept on a wind and it passed on and he is guilty [the one] who strength his [becomes] god his.
12 Haiwa Jehovha, ko hamugari nokusingaperi here? Mwari wangu, mutsvene wangu, hatingatongofi. Haiwa Jehovha, makavagadza kuti vatonge; imi Dombo, makavagadza kuti varange.
¿ Not [are] you from antiquity O Yahweh God my holy [one] my not we will die O Yahweh to judgment you have appointed it and O rock to reprove you have established it.
13 Meso enyu akachena zvokuti haangatarisi zvakaipa; hamungatenderi zvakaipa. Sei zvino muchitendera vanyengeri? Ko, munonyararirei kana vakaipa vachimedza vanovapfuura mukururama?
[you are too] pure of Eyes for seeing evil and to look to mischief not you are able why? do you look at treacherous [people] are you silent? when swallows up a wicked [person] a [person] righteous more than him.

15 Muvengi anovaredza vose nezviredzo, anovabata mumumbure wake, achivakokorodza murutava rwake; naizvozvo anopembera nomufaro.
All of it with a fish hook he brings up he drags away it in net his and he gathers it in fishing net his there-fore he rejoices and he may be glad.
16 Naizvozvo anopisira zvibayiro kumumbure wake, uye anopisira zvinonhuhwira kumumbure wake, nokuti anogarika nokuda kwomumbure wake, anodya zvokudya zvakaisvonaka.
There-fore he sacrifices to net his so he may make smoke to fishing net his for by them [is] fat portion his and food his [is] fat.
