Habakuk 1
1 Breme, ki ga je videl prerok Habakúk.
The burden that Habakkuk the prophet has seen:
2 Oh Gospod, doklej bom klical in ne boš slišal! Celó klical k tebi o nasilju in ne boš rešil!
Until when, O YHWH, have I cried, And You do not hear? I cry to You, “Violence!” And You do 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 do You show me iniquity, And cause [me] to behold perversity? And spoiling and violence [are] before me, And there is strife, and contention lifts [itself] up,
4 Zatorej je postava ohlapna in sodba nikoli ne gre naprej, kajti zlobni obdaja pravičnega, zato izhaja napačna sodba.
Therefore law ceases, And judgment does not go forth forever, For the wicked is surrounding the righteous, Therefore wrong judgment goes forth.
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.
“Look on nations, and behold and marvel greatly. For a work He is working in your days, You do not believe though it is declared.
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 am raising up the Chaldeans, The bitter and hasty nation, That is going to the broad places of earth, To occupy dwelling places not his own.
7 Strašni so in grozni. Njihova sodba in njihovo dostojanstvo bo izšlo iz njih samih.
He [is] terrible and fearful, His judgment and his excellence go forth from him.
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.
His horses have been swifter than leopards, And sharper than evening wolves, And his horsemen have increased, Even his horsemen from afar come in, They fly as an eagle, hastening to consume.
9 Vsi bodo prišli zaradi nasilja. Njihovi obrazi bodo izpiti kakor vzhodnik in ujetništva bodo zbrali kakor peska.
All for violence—he comes in, Their faces swallowing up the east wind, And he gathers a captivity 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 he scoffs at kings, And princes [are] a laughter to him, He laughs at every fortification, And he heaps up dust, and captures it.
11 Potem se bo njegov um spremenil, šel bo mimo in se pohujšal, prištevajoč to svojo moč svojemu bogu.
Then the spirit has passed on, Indeed, he transgresses, And [ascribes] this—his power—to 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.
Are You not of old, O YHWH, my God, my Holy One? We do not die, O YHWH, You have appointed him for judgment, And, O Rock, You have founded him for reproof.
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?
Purer of eyes than to behold evil, You are not able to look on perverseness, Why do You behold the treacherous? You keep silent when the wicked Swallow the more righteous than he,
14 In ljudi delaš kakor ribe morja, kakor plazeče stvari, ki nimajo nobenega vladarja nad seboj?
And You make man as fishes of the sea, As a creeping thing [with] none ruling over him.
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 has brought up each of them with a hook, He catches it in his net, and gathers it in his dragnet, Therefore he delights and rejoices.
16 Zato darujejo svoji mreži in svoji vrši zažigajo kadilo, ker po njima je njihov delež obilen in njihova hrana obilna.
Therefore he sacrifices to his net, And makes incense to his dragnet, For by them [is] his portion fertile, and his food fat.
17 Ali bodo zato praznili svojo mrežo in ne bodo nenehno prizanašali pobijanju narodov?
Does he therefore empty his net, And continually not spare to slay nations?
