Habakuk 1

1 Breme, ki ga je videl prerok Habakúk.

The burden that Habakkuk the prophet saw.

2 Oh Gospod, doklej bom klical in ne boš slišal! Celó klical k tebi o nasilju in ne boš rešil!

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 Zakaj mi kažeš krivičnost in mi povzročaš, da gledam gorje? Kajti plenjenje in nasilje sta pred menoj in tam so takšni, ki vzdigujejo spor in prepir.

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 Zatorej je postava ohlapna in sodba nikoli ne gre naprej, kajti zlobni obdaja pravičnega, zato izhaja napačna sodba.

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 Poglejte med pogane in preudarite in se silno čudite, kajti jaz bom naredil delo, delo v vaših dneh, ki ga ne boste verjeli, čeprav bi vam bilo povedano.

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 Kajti glejte, vzdignil bom Kaldejce, ki so zagrenjen in nagel narod, ki bo korakal skozi širino dežele, da vzame v last prebivališča, ki niso njihova.

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 Strašni so in grozni. Njihova sodba in njihovo dostojanstvo bo izšlo iz njih samih.

It is dreadful and terrible. From themselves, judgment and their burden will issue.

8 Tudi njihovi konji so hitrejši kakor leopardi in bolj kruti kakor večerni volkovi. Njihovi konjeniki se bodo razprostrli in njihovi konjeniki bodo prišli od daleč. Leteli bodo kakor orel, ki hiti, da žre.

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 Vsi bodo prišli zaradi nasilja. Njihovi obrazi bodo izpiti kakor vzhodnik in ujetništva bodo zbrali kakor peska.

They will all approach towards the prey; their face is like a burning wind. And they will gather captives together like sand.

10 Norčevali se bodo iz kraljev in princi jim bodo prezir. Zasmehovali bodo vsako oporišče, kajti nagrmadili bodo prah in ga zavzeli.

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 Potem se bo njegov um spremenil, šel bo mimo in se pohujšal, prištevajoč to svojo moč svojemu bogu.

Then his spirit will be altered, and he will cross over and fall. Such is his strength from his god.

12 Mar nisi ti od večnosti, oh Gospod, moj Bog, moj Sveti? Ne bomo umrli. Oh Gospod, za sodbo si jih odredil. Oh mogočni Bog, utrdil si jih za grajanje.

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 Tvoje oči so preveč čiste, da bi gledal zlo in ne moreš gledati na krivičnost. Zakaj torej gledaš na tiste, ki postopajo zahrbtno in zadržuješ svoj jezik, ko zlobni požira človeka, ki je pravičnejši kakor on?

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 In ljudi delaš kakor ribe morja, kakor plazeče stvari, ki nimajo nobenega vladarja nad seboj?

And you will make men like the fish of the sea and like the creeping things that have no ruler.

15 Vse izmed njih privlečejo s trnkom, lovijo jih v svojo mrežo in jih zbirajo v svojo vlako; zato se veselijo in so veseli.

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 Zato darujejo svoji mreži in svoji vrši zažigajo kadilo, ker po njima je njihov delež obilen in njihova hrana obilna.

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 Ali bodo zato praznili svojo mrežo in ne bodo nenehno prizanašali pobijanju narodov?

Because of this, therefore, he expands his dragnet and will not be lenient in continually putting to death the peoples.
