Habacuc 3
1 Una oración del profeta Habacuc, puesta a Siganion.
Yahweh, I have heard about you; I revere you because of [all the amazing] things that you have done. In our time, do again [some of] those things that you did long ago! Even when you are angry [with us], be merciful [to us]!
2 Señor, palabra de ti ha llegado a mis oídos y temí; aviva tu obra, oh Señor; en medio de los tiempos, hazla saber en medio de los tiempos, en la ira acuérdate de tener compasión.
3 Dios vino de Temán, y el Santo del Monte Parán. (Selah) Los cielos estaban cubiertos de su gloria, y la tierra estaba llena de su alabanza.
[In the vision, I saw] God, the Holy One, coming from the Teman [district in Edom]; [and I also saw] him coming from the Paran Hills [in the Sinai area]. His glory filled the sky, and the earth was full of [people who were] praising him.
4 Él brillaba como la luz; tenía rayos saliendo de su mano; allí se escondía su poder.
His glory was like [SIM] a sunrise; rays flashed from his hands where he hides his power.
5 Delante de él va la pestilencia, y de sus pies salían carbones encendidos.
He sent plagues in front of him, and [other] plagues came behind him.
6 Se detuvo, midió la tierra; las vio y las naciones se movieron repentinamente: si, las montañas eternas se desmoronaron, las colinas antiguas se hundieron; Sus caminos son eternos.
When he stopped, the earth shook. When he looked at the nations, [all the people] trembled. The hills and mountains that have existed for a very long time [HYP] collapsed and crumbled. Yahweh is the one who exists eternally/forever!
7 Las cortinas de Cusan estaban perturbadas, y las tiendas de Madián temblaron.
[In the vision] I saw the [people who live in] tents in the Cushan [region] being afflicted, and the people in the Midian [region] trembling.
8 ¿Tu ira ardía contra los ríos? ¿estabas enojado con el mar, que montaste en tus caballos, en tus carruajes de salvación?
Yahweh, was it because you were angry with the rivers and streams that you were angry with them? Did the seas cause you to be furious, with the result that you rode through them with horses that were pulling chariots that enabled you to defeat them?
9 Tu arco estaba completamente descubierto, tus juramentos a la tribus, palabra segura. (Selah) Por ti la tierra fue desgarrada por ríos.
[It was as though] you uncovered your bow, took arrows from your quiver, [and prepared to shoot them]. [Then with lightning] you split open the earth, and streams burst forth.
10 Las montañas te vieron y temblaron; pasó la inundación de las aguas; dio el abismo su voz; en lo alto levantó sus manos.
[It is as though] the mountains saw you [doing that], and they trembled. Floods rushed by; [it was as though] the deep ocean roared and caused its waves to rise up high.
11 Él sol y la luna se detuvieron en su sitio, a la luz de tus saetas se fueron. Al resplandor de tu espada relampagueante.
The sun and moon stopped moving in the sky while your [lightning] flashed [past like] a swift arrow, and your glittering spear flashed.
12 Atravesaste la tierra con ira, aplastando a las naciones con tu furor.
Being very angry [DOU], you walked across the earth and trampled the [armies of many] nations.
13 Saliste por la salvación de tu pueblo, por la salvación de aquel sobre quien fue puesto tu santa unción; hiriendo la cabeza de la familia del malhechor, descubriendo la base hasta el cuello. (Selah)
But you [also] went to rescue us, your people, and to save the [king] (Or, [people]) whom you had chosen [MTY]. You struck down the leader [MTY] of those wicked people and stripped off his clothes, from his head to his feet.
14 Le pasaste las lanzas por la cabeza con sus propias lanzas, enviaron a sus jinetes en vuelo como tempestad para dispersar; tenían alegría como cuando se devora al pobre en secreto.
With his own spear you destroyed the leader of those soldiers who rushed like [SIM] a whirlwind to [attack and] scatter us, thinking that they could conquer us [Israelis] easily.
15 Marchaste con tus caballos sobre el mar, sobre él oleaje de grandes aguas.
You walked through the sea with your horses [to destroy our enemies], and caused the waves to surge.
16 Al escucharlo, mis entrañas temblaron, y mis labios temblaron ante el sonido; entró pudrición a mis huesos, estaba temblando; para reposar en él día de mi angustia, al pueblo que se levantará para invadir.
When I saw that vision, my heart pounded and my lips quivered [because I became afraid]. My legs became weak and I shook, [because I was terrified]. But I will wait quietly for the people [of Babylonia], those who invaded our country, to experience disasters!
17 Porque aunque la higuera no tiene flores, y no hay fruto en la vid, y el producto del olivo falte, y los campos no dan alimento; aunque se acabe el rebaño del aprisco, y no hay ganado en los corrales.
[Therefore, ] even if there are no blossoms on the fig trees, and there are no grapes on the grapevines, and even if there are no olives growing on the olive trees, and there are no crops in the fields, and even if the flocks [of sheep and goats] die in the fields, and there are no cattle in the stalls/barns,
18 Aun así, me alegraré en el Señor, mi gozo estará en el Dios de mi salvación.
I will rejoice because [I know] Yahweh. I will be joyful because Yahweh my God is the one who saves me!
19 El Señor Dios es mi fortaleza, y hace mis pies como pies de gacela, guiándome en mis lugares altos. Para el director de música en instrumentos con cuerda.
Yahweh the Lord is the one who causes me to be strong; he enables me to climb [(safely/without falling)] in the [rocky] mountains, like [SIM] a deer does. (This message is for the choir director: [When this prayer is sung, it is to be accompanied by people playing] stringed instruments.)
