Habakuk 1
1 Breme, ki ga je videl prerok Habakúk.
The burden, which Habakkuk the Prophet did see.
2 Oh Gospod, doklej bom klical in ne boš slišal! Celó klical k tebi o nasilju in ne boš rešil!
O Lord, howe long shall I crye, and thou wilt not heare! euen crye out vnto thee for violence, and thou wilt not helpe!
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 doest thou shewe mee iniquitie, and cause me to beholde sorowe? for spoyling, and violence are before me: and there are that rayse vp strife and contention.
4 Zatorej je postava ohlapna in sodba nikoli ne gre naprej, kajti zlobni obdaja pravičnega, zato izhaja napačna sodba.
Therefore the Lawe is dissolued, and iudgement doeth neuer go forth: for the wicked doeth compasse about the righteous: therefore wrong iudgement proceedeth.
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.
Beholde among the heathen, and regarde, and wonder, and maruaile: for I will worke a worke in your dayes: yee will not beleeue it, though it be tolde you.
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 lo, I raise vp the Caldeans, that bitter and furious nation, which shall goe vpon the breadth of the lande to possesse the dwelling places, that are not theirs.
7 Strašni so in grozni. Njihova sodba in njihovo dostojanstvo bo izšlo iz njih samih.
They are terrible and fearefull: their iudgement and their dignitie shall proceede of theselues.
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 also are swifter then the leopards, and are more fierce then the wolues in the euening: and their horsemen are many: and their horsemen shall come from farre: they shall flie as the eagle hasting to meate.
9 Vsi bodo prišli zaradi nasilja. Njihovi obrazi bodo izpiti kakor vzhodnik in ujetništva bodo zbrali kakor peska.
They come all to spoyle: before their faces shalbe an Eastwinde, and they shall gather the captiuitie, as the sand.
10 Norčevali se bodo iz kraljev in princi jim bodo prezir. Zasmehovali bodo vsako oporišče, kajti nagrmadili bodo prah in ga zavzeli.
And they shall mocke the Kings, and the princes shalbe a skorne vnto them: they shall deride euery strong holde: for they shall gather dust, and take it.
11 Potem se bo njegov um spremenil, šel bo mimo in se pohujšal, prištevajoč to svojo moč svojemu bogu.
Then shall they take a courage, and transgresse and doe wickedly, imputing this their power vnto their 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.
Art thou not of olde, O Lord my God, mine holy one? we shall not die: O Lord, thou hast ordeined them for iudgement, and O God, thou hast established them for correction.
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?
Thou art of pure eyes, and canst not see euill: thou canst not behold wickednesse: wherefore doest thou looke vpon the transgressors, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked deuoureth the man, that is more righteous then he?
14 In ljudi delaš kakor ribe morja, kakor plazeče stvari, ki nimajo nobenega vladarja nad seboj?
And makest men as the fishes of the sea, and as the creeping things, that haue no ruler ouer them.
15 Vse izmed njih privlečejo s trnkom, lovijo jih v svojo mrežo in jih zbirajo v svojo vlako; zato se veselijo in so veseli.
They take vp all with the angle: they catch it in their net, and gather it in their yarne, whereof they reioyce and are glad.
16 Zato darujejo svoji mreži in svoji vrši zažigajo kadilo, ker po njima je njihov delež obilen in njihova hrana obilna.
Therefore they sacrifice vnto their net, and burne incense vnto their yarne, because by them their portion is fat and their meat plenteous.
17 Ali bodo zato praznili svojo mrežo in ne bodo nenehno prizanašali pobijanju narodov?
Shall they therefore stretch out their net and not spare continually to slay the nations?
