Habakuki 1

1 Ujumbe ambao habakuki nabii alipokea,

[the] oracle which to see Habakkuk [the] prophet

2 Yahwe, kwa muda gani nitalilia msaada, na hutasikia? Nimekulilia wewe katika kitisho, 'vurugu' lakini hutaniokoa.

till where? LORD to cry and not to hear: hear to cry out to(wards) you violence and not to save

3 Kwanini unanifanya nione mabaya na kuangalia matendo mabaya. Uharibifu na vurugu uko mbele yangu; kuna mapambano, na ushindani unainuka.

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 Walakini sheria ni dhaifu, na haki haiishi kwa wakati wowote. Sababu uovu umezunguka haki; walakini haki ya uongo inatoweka. “Yahwe” anamjibu habakuki

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 “Angalia mataifa na uwajaribu; stajaabishwa na shangazwa! Sababu nina uhakika kuhusu kufanya kitu katika siku zako kwamba hutaamini itakapotaarifiwa kwenu.

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 Sababu angalia! nakaribia kuwainua Wakaldayo - taifa katili na lenye kishindo - wanatembea kupitia upana wa nchi kuteka nyumba zisizo za kwao.

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 Wanahofu na kuogopa; hukumu yao na uzuri kutoka kwao unaendelea.

terrible and to fear he/she/it from him justice his and elevation his to come out: come

8 Farasi wao pia wanambio sana kuliko chui, wepesi sana kuliko mbwa mwitu wa jioni. Farasi wao huwaseta, na wapanda farasi wao wanakuja kutoka mbali - wanapaa kama tai anayewahi kula.

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 kwa vurugu; makundi yao yanakwenda kama upepo wa jangwani, na wanakusanya mateka kama mchanga.

all his to/for violence to come (in): come horde face their east [to] and to gather like/as sand captivity

10 Wanawadhihaki wafalme, na viongozi ni dhihaka kwaajili yao. Huicheka kila ngome, maana hurundika mavumbi na kuyaondoa.

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 Ndipo upepo utapita; itaendelea kupita - watu wenye hatia, ambao uwezo wao ni katika mungu.” Habakuki anamuuliza Yahwe swali lingine

then to pass spirit: breath and to pass and be guilty this strength his to/for god his

12 “Wewe si wa tangu nyakati za zamani, Yahwe Mungu wangu, uliye Mtakatifu? Sisi hatutakufa. Yahwe aliwatenga kwaajili ya hukumu, na ninyi, Mwamba, mmeimarisha kwaajili ya kusahihisha.

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 yenu ni safi kuangaza juu ya uovu, lakini hamuwezi kuangalia matendo mabaya kwa fadhila; kwa nini mnaangalia kwa upendeleo hivyo juu ambao wanasaliti? Kwanini kunyamaza wakati uovu unameza sana wenye haki zaidi yao?

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 unawafanya watu kama samaki baharini, kama vitu vitambaavyo bila kiongozi juu yao.

and to make man like/as fish [the] sea like/as creeping not to rule in/on/with him

15 Wao wanawaleta wote kwa ndoano; wanawakokota watu kutoka kwenye nyavu za samaki na kuwakusanya kwenye wavu wao. Hii ndiyo sababu wanafurahi na kupiga kelele kwa uchangamfu sana.

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 Walakini wanatoa sadaka kwenye nyavu zao za kuvulia na kuchoma ubani kwenye nyavu zao, sababu wanyama wanene ni sehemu yao, na nyama iliyonona ni chakula chao.

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 Kwa sababu hiyo watamaliza nyavu zao za kuvulia na kuendelea kuchicha mataifa, bila kuhisi huruma”?

upon so to empty net his and continually to/for to kill nation not to spare
