Xabaquuq 1
1 Kanu waa waxa culus ee uu Nebi Xabaquuq arkay.
The word which Habakkuk the prophet saw.
2 Rabbiyow, ilaa goormaan kuu qayshadaa, oo adna aadan i maqlayn? Dulmi baan kaaga qayshadaa, oo namana aad badbaadisid.
How long, O Lord, will your ears be shut to my voice? I make an outcry to you about violent behaviour, but you do not send salvation.
3 Bal maxaad xumaan ii tustaa oo aad qallooc iigu jeedisaa? Waayo, waxaa hortayda yaal halligaad iyo dulmi, oo waxaa kor u kaca dirir iyo dagaal.
Why do you make me see evil-doing, and why are my eyes fixed on wrong? for wasting and violent acts are before me: and there is fighting and bitter argument.
4 Sidaas daraaddeed sharcigii waa dabcay oo caddaaladduna hore uma socoto, waayo, kii sharrow ah ayaa hareereeya kii xaq ah, oo sidaas daraaddeed garsooridda waa la qalloociyaa.
For this reason the law is feeble and decisions are not effected: for the upright man is circled round by evil-doers; because of which right is twisted.
5 Bal eega quruumaha dhexdooda, ka fiirsada oo aad u yaaba, waayo, maalmihiinnii waxaan samaynayaa shuqul aydaan rumaysan doonin in kastoo laydiin sheego.
See among the nations, and take note, and be full of wonder: for in your days I am doing a work in which you will have no belief, even if news of it is given to you.
6 Waayo, bal eega, waxaan soo kicinayaa reer Kaldayiin oo ah quruuntaas qadhaadh oo degdegga badan oo dhulka ballaadhkiisa mara inay hantiyaan meelo la dego oo ayan iyagu lahayn.
For see, I am sending the Chaldaeans, that bitter and quick-moving nation; who go through the wide spaces of the earth to get for themselves living-places which are not theirs.
7 Iyagu waa kuwa laga cabsado oo aad looga baqo; xukunkooda iyo sharaftoodu iyagay ka soo baxaan.
They are greatly to be feared: their right comes from themselves.
8 Fardahoodu way ka sii dheereeyaan shabeelka, oo way ka sii cabsi badan yihiin yeyda fiidka, oo fardooleydooduna way iskala bixiyaan, haah, oo fardooleydooduna meel fog bay ka yimaadaan, oo waxay u soo duulaan sida gorgor u soo degdegaya inuu wax dhufsado oo cuno.
And their horses are quicker than leopards and their horsemen more cruel than evening wolves; they come from far away, like an eagle in flight rushing on its food.
9 Dhammaantood waxay u yimaadaan inay wax xoogaan, oo damaca wejigooduna waa sida dabaysha bari, oo waxay urursadaan maxaabiis sida cammuudda u badan.
They are coming all of them with force; the direction of their faces is forward, the number of their prisoners is like the sands of the sea.
10 Cadowgu boqorro wuu quudhsadaa, oo amiirrona wuu fududaystaa, oo qalcad kastana wuu ku qoslaa, waayo, intuu ciid tuulaa ayuu iska qabsadaa.
He makes little of kings, rulers are a sport to him; all the strong places are to be laughed at; for he makes earthworks and takes them.
11 Markaas sida dabayl buu u dhaafi doonaa, oo wuu sii gudbi doonaa, oo dembi buu lahaan doonaa kan xooggiisu ilaah u yahay.
Then his purpose will be changed, over-stepping the limit; he will make his strength his god.
12 Rabbiyow, Ilaahaygiiyow, kayga Quduuska ahow, sow adigu weligaaba ma aad jiri jirin? Annagu dhiman mayno. Rabbiyow, isaga waxaad u diyaarisay xukun, oo waxaad u xoogaysay edbin, kaaga Dhagaxa weyn ahow.
Are you not eternal, O Lord my God, my Holy One? for you there is no death. O Lord, he has been ordered by you for our punishment; and by you, O Rock, he has been marked out to put us right.
13 Waxaad tahay mid indhihiisu ka sii daahirsan yihiin inay wax shar ah eegaan, oo qalloocna ma fiirin kartid, haddaba bal maxaad u fiirisaa kuwa khiyaanada sameeya? Oo maxaad u aamusan tahay marka sharrowgu liqo ninka isaga ka sii xaq yahay?
Before your holy eyes sin may not be seen, and you are unable to put up with wrong; why, then, are your eyes on the false? why do you say nothing when the evil-doer puts an end to one who is more upright than himself?
14 Oo maxaad dadka uga dhigtaa sida kalluunka badda, iyo sida waxa gurguurta oo aan lahayn mid iyaga u taliya?
He has made men like the fishes of the sea, like the worms which have no ruler over them.
15 Isagu dhammaantood ayuu jillaab ku soo qaataa, oo shabaggiisuu ku soo qabsadaa, oo intuu shabaggiisa ku soo wada urursado ayuu soo jiitaa, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed wuu reyreeyaa oo farxaa.
He takes them all up with his hook, he takes them in his net, getting them together in his fishing-net: for which cause he is glad and full of joy.
16 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed allabari buu u bixiyaa shabaggiisa, oo fooxna wuu u shidaa shabagguu jiita, maxaa yeelay, iyaga ayaa qaybtiisii ku barwaaqowday, oo quudkiisiina aad iyo aad batay.
For this reason he makes an offering to his net, burning perfume to his fishing-net; because by them he gets much food and his meat is fat.
17 Haddaba miyuu shabaggiisa madhin doonaa, oo miyuu quruumaha had iyo goorba layn doonaa, isagoo aan u tudhin?
For this cause his net is ever open, and there is no end to his destruction of the nations.
