< Habacuc 3 >

1 Oración del profeta Habacuc. En el tono de lamentaciones.
A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet on Shigionoth.
2 ¡Oh Yavé, oí tu palabra y estoy atemorizado! Oh Yavé, aviva tu obra en medio de los tiempos. En medio de los tiempos hazla conocer. En la ira, acuérdate de tener misericordia.
O LORD, I have heard your speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive your work in the middle of the years, in the middle of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.
3 ʼEloha, el Santo, viene de Temán, De las montañas de Parán. (Selah) Su esplendor cubre los cielos Y la tierra se llena de su alabanza.
God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. (Selah) His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
4 Su resplandor es como la luz del sol. Rayos de luz proceden de sus manos. Allí se oculta su poder.
And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.
5 La mortandad va delante de Él Y de sus pies salen carbones encendidos.
Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.
6 Se detiene y tiembla la tierra. Mira, y estremece a las naciones. Se desmoronan las montañas, Se hunden las colinas antiguas, Pero sus sendas son eternas.
He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.
7 Veo las tiendas de Cusán en aflicción. Se estremecen las tiendas de la tierra de Madián.
I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
8 Oh Yavé, ¿te airaste contra los ríos? ¿Es tu ira contra el mar Cuando montas en tus caballos Y en tus carrozas victoriosas?
Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? was your anger against the rivers? was your wrath against the sea, that you did ride on your horses and your chariots of salvation?
9 Descubres completamente tu arco. Las varas de castigo fueron prometidas con juramento. (Selah) Tú surcas la tierra con ríos.
Your bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even your word. (Selah) You did split the earth with rivers.
10 Te ven las montañas, Y tiemblan. La inundación de aguas se desencadena. El abismo da su voz. A lo alto levanta sus manos.
The mountains saw you, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high.
11 El sol y la luna se detienen en su cenit. Anduvieron a la luz de tus flechas, Y al resplandor de tu refulgente lanza.
The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of your arrows they went, and at the shining of your glittering spear.
12 Con ira trillaste la tierra. Con furor pisoteaste las naciones.
You did march through the land in indignation, you did thresh the heathen in anger.
13 Saliste a socorrer a tu pueblo, A salvar a tu ungido. Destrozas el techo de la casa del impío Y descubres su cimiento hasta la roca. (Selah)
You went forth for the salvation of your people, even for salvation with your anointed; you wounded the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation to the neck. (Selah)
14 Con tus propias flechas Traspasas a los jefes de sus nobles, Que como tempestad acometen para dispersarme. Su regocijo es como el del que devora en secreto al pobre.
You did strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.
15 Pisoteaste con tus caballos el mar, Sobre la mole de muchas aguas.
You did walk through the sea with your horses, through the heap of great waters.
16 Escuché y se conmovieron mis órganos internos. A su voz temblaron mis labios. Pudrición entró en mis huesos Y dentro de mí me estremezco. Pero debo estar tranquilo el día de la adversidad, Cuando suba el pueblo que nos invadirá con sus tropas.
When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he comes up to the people, he will invade them with his troops.
17 Aunque la higuera no florezca, Ni en las vides haya fruto, Aunque falte el producto del olivo, Y los campos no produzcan alimento, Aunque se acaben las ovejas del redil Y no haya vacas en los establos,
Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
18 Sin embargo, yo me alegraré en Yavé Y me gozaré en el ʼElohim de mi salvación.
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
19 ¡Adonay Yavé es mi fortaleza! Él me da pies como de venados Y me hace andar en las alturas.
The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk on my high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.
