Habakuki 1
1 Neno alilopokea nabii Habakuki.
[the] oracle which to see Habakkuk [the] prophet
2 Ee Bwana, hata lini nitakuomba msaada, lakini wewe husikilizi? Au kukulilia, “Udhalimu!” Lakini hutaki kuokoa?
till where? LORD to cry and not to hear: hear to cry out to(wards) you violence and not to save
3 Kwa nini unanifanya nitazame dhuluma? Kwa nini unavumilia makosa? Uharibifu na udhalimu viko mbele yangu; kuna mabishano na mapambano kwa wingi.
to/for what? to see: see me evil: wickedness and trouble to look and violence and violence to/for before me and to be strife and strife to lift: raise
4 Kwa hiyo sheria imepotoshwa, nayo haki haipo kabisa. Waovu wanawazunguka wenye haki, kwa hiyo haki imepotoshwa.
upon so be numb instruction and not to come out: come to/for perpetuity justice for wicked to surround [obj] [the] righteous upon so to come out: come justice to twist
5 “Yatazame mataifa, uangalie na ushangae kabisa. Kwa sababu katika siku zako nitafanya kitu ambacho hungeamini, hata kama ungeambiwa.
to see: see in/on/with nation and to look and to astounded to astounded for work to work in/on/with day your not be faithful for to recount
6 Nitawainua Wakaldayo, watu hao wakatili na wenye haraka, ambao hupita dunia yote kuteka mahali pa kuishi pasipo pao wenyewe.
for look! I to arise: raise [obj] [the] Chaldea [the] nation [the] bitter and [the] to hasten [the] to go: walk to/for broad land: country/planet to/for to possess: take tabernacle not to/for him
7 Ni watu wanoogopwa na wanaotisha; wenyewe ndio sheria yao, na huinua heshima yao wenyewe.
terrible and to fear he/she/it from him justice his and elevation his to come out: come
8 Farasi wao ni wepesi kuliko chui, na wakali kuliko mbwa mwitu wakati wa machweo. Askari wapanda farasi wao huenda mbio; waendesha farasi wao wanatoka mbali. Wanaruka kasi kama tai ili kurarua;
and to lighten from leopard horse his and be sharp from wolf evening and to leap horseman his and horseman his from distant to come (in): come to fly like/as eagle to hasten to/for to eat
9 wote wanakuja tayari kwa fujo. Makundi yao ya wajeuri yanasonga mbele kama upepo wa jangwani, na kukusanya wafungwa kama mchanga.
all his to/for violence to come (in): come horde face their east [to] and to gather like/as sand captivity
10 Wanawabeza wafalme, na kuwadhihaki watawala. Wanaicheka miji yote iliyozungushiwa maboma; wanafanya malundo ya udongo na kuiteka hiyo miji.
and he/she/it in/on/with king to mock and to rule laughing to/for him he/she/it to/for all fortification to laugh and to heap dust and to capture her
11 Kisha wanapita kasi kama upepo na kusonga mbele: watu wenye hatia, ambao nguvu zao ndio mungu wao.”
then to pass spirit: breath and to pass and be guilty this strength his to/for god his
12 Ee Bwana, je, wewe sio wa tangu milele? Mungu wangu, Uliye Mtakatifu wangu, hatutakufa. Ee Bwana, umewachagua wao ili watekeleze hukumu; Ee Mwamba, umewaamuru watuadhibu.
not you(m. s.) from front: old LORD God my holy my not to die LORD to/for justice: judgement to set: appoint him and rock to/for to rebuke to found him
13 Macho yako ni safi mno hata yasiweze kuutazama uovu, wala huwezi kuvumilia makosa. Kwa nini basi unawavumilia wadanganyifu? Kwa nini unakuwa kimya wakati waovu wanawameza wale wenye haki kuliko wao wenyewe?
pureness eye from to see: see bad: evil and to look to(wards) trouble not be able to/for what? to look to act treacherously be quiet in/on/with to swallow up wicked righteous from him
14 Umewafanya watu kama samaki baharini, kama viumbe wa bahari wasio na mtawala.
and to make man like/as fish [the] sea like/as creeping not to rule in/on/with him
15 Adui mwovu anawavuta wote kwa ndoana, anawakamata katika wavu wake, anawakusanya katika juya lake; kwa hiyo anashangilia na anafurahi.
all his in/on/with hook to ascend: establish to drag/chew/saw him in/on/with net his and to gather him in/on/with net his upon so to rejoice and to rejoice
16 Kwa hiyo anatoa kafara kwa wavu wake, na kuchoma uvumba kwa juya lake, kwa kuwa kwa wavu wake anaishi kwa starehe, na anafurahia chakula kizuri.
upon so to sacrifice to/for net his and to offer: offer to/for net his for in/on/with them rich portion his and food his fat
17 Je, aendelee kuwatoa walio katika wavu wake, akiangamiza mataifa bila huruma?
upon so to empty net his and continually to/for to kill nation not to spare
