Hapakuki 3
1 Ko e lotu ʻa Hapakuki ko e palōfita ʻi he Sikaiona.
A Prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.
2 ʻE Sihova, kuo u fanongo ki hoʻo folofola, pea ne u manavahē: ʻE Sihova, fakaakeake hoʻo ngāue ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi taʻu, fakahā ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi taʻu; ʻi he houhau, manatu ki he ʻaloʻofa.
Jehovah, I heard the report of thee, [and] I feared. Jehovah, revive thy work in the midst of the years, In the midst of the years make [it] known: In wrath remember mercy!
3 Naʻe hāʻele mai ʻae ʻOtua mei Timani, mo e tokotaha māʻoniʻoni mei he moʻunga ko Palani. (Sila) Naʻe ʻufiʻufi ʻae ngaahi langi ʻe hono nāunau, pea naʻe fonu ʻa māmani ʻi hono fakamālō.
God came from Teman, And the Holy One from mount Paran. (Selah) His glory covereth the heavens, And the earth is full of his praise.
4 Pea naʻe malama ia ʻo hangē ko e maama; naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae maama ulo mei hono nima: pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fakafufū ʻo ʻene māfimafi.
And [his] brightness was as the light; Rays [came forth] from his hand; And there was the hiding of his power.
5 Naʻe ʻalu atu ʻi hono ʻao ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha, pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻi hono vaʻe ʻae maka fefie ʻoku vela.
Before him went the pestilence, And a burning flame went forth at his feet.
6 Naʻe tuʻu ia, ʻo fuofua ʻae fonua: naʻa ne ʻafioʻi, mo fakamovetevete ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga; naʻe fakamovetevete ʻae ngaahi moʻunga taʻengata, naʻe ofeʻi hifo ʻae ngaahi tafungofunga tuʻumaʻu: ʻoku taʻengata ʻa hono ngaahi ʻaluʻanga.
He stood, and measured the earth; He beheld, and discomfited the nations; And the eternal mountains were scattered, The everlasting hills gave way: His ways are everlasting.
7 Naʻaku mamata ʻoku ʻi he mamahi ʻae ngaahi fale fehikitaki ʻo Kusani: pea naʻe tetetete ʻae ngaahi puipui ʻoe fonua ko Mitiane.
I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction; The curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
8 Naʻe mamahi ʻa Sihova ki he ngaahi vaitafe? Naʻa ke houhau ki he ngaahi vaitafe? Naʻe ʻi he tahi ʻa ho tuputāmaki, koeʻuhi naʻa ke heka ai ʻi hoʻo fanga hoosi, mo hoʻo ngaahi saliote ʻoe fakamoʻui?
Was Jehovah wrathful with the rivers? Was thine anger against the rivers? Was thy rage against the sea, That thou didst ride upon thy horses, Thy chariots of salvation?
9 Naʻe toʻo ʻo teke ʻa hoʻo kaufana, ʻo fakatatau mo e ngaahi fuakava ki he ngaahi faʻahinga, ʻio, ko hoʻo folofola. (Sila) Naʻa ke fahifahi ʻaki ʻae fonua ʻae ngaahi vaitafe.
Thy bow was made naked, The rods [of discipline] sworn according to [thy] word. (Selah) Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.
10 Naʻe mamata kiate koe ʻae ngaahi moʻunga, pea nau tetetete ai: naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae fetafeaki ʻoe vai: naʻe fakahā ʻe he moana ʻa hono leʻo, pea hiki hake hono nima ki ʻolunga.
The mountains saw thee, they were in travail: Torrents of waters passed by; The deep uttered its voice, Lifted up its hands on high.
11 Naʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻae laʻā, mo e māhina ʻi hona nofoʻanga: naʻe ʻalu atu hoʻo ngaahi ngahau ʻi hona maama, pea ʻi he ulo ho tao ngingila.
The sun [and] moon stood still in their habitation, At the light of thine arrows which shot forth, — At the shining of thy glittering spear.
12 Naʻa ke hāʻele atu ʻi he fonua, ʻi he tuputāmaki, naʻa ke haha ʻae hiteni ʻi ho houhau.
Thou didst march through the land in indignation, Thou didst thresh the nations in anger.
13 Naʻa ke meʻa atu koeʻuhi ko e fakamoʻui ʻo hoʻo kakai, ʻio, koeʻuhi ko e fakamoʻui ʻo hoʻo kau pani: naʻa ke taaʻi ʻae ʻulu ʻi he fale ʻoe angakovi, naʻa ke fakaʻauha hono tuʻunga, ʻo aʻu ki he maka. (Sila)
Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, For the salvation of thine anointed; Thou didst smite off the head from the house of the wicked, Laying bare the foundation even to the neck. (Selah)
14 Naʻa ke hokaʻi ʻae ʻulu ʻo ʻene kautau, mei hono ngaahi faʻahinga: naʻe haʻu ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e ʻahiohio ke fakamovete au: ko ʻenau fiefiaʻanga ia, ke keina ʻae masiva ʻi he fufū.
Thou didst strike through with his own spears the head of his leaders: They came out as a whirlwind to scatter me, Whose exulting was as to devour the afflicted secretly.
15 Naʻa ke hāʻele atu mo hoʻo fanga hoosi ʻi he tahi, ʻi he fokotuʻunga ʻoe ngaahi vai lahi.
Thou didst walk through the sea with thy horses, The heap of great waters.
16 ʻI heʻeku fanongo ki ho leʻo, naʻe ngalulu hoku fatu; naʻe tetetete hoku ngutu ʻi ho leʻo: naʻe hū ʻae popo ki hoku ngaahi hui, pea u tetetete ʻiate au; ka te u mālōlō ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe mamahi: ʻoka hoko hake ia ki he kakai, te ne hoko mo ʻene ngaahi kautau, kiate kinautolu.
I heard, and my belly trembled; My lips quivered at the voice; Rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in my place, That I might rest in the day of distress, When their invader shall come up against the people.
17 Neongo ʻene ʻikai fisi ʻae ʻakau ko e fiki, pea ʻe ʻikai ha fua ʻi he ngaahi vaine; pea kovi ʻae tupu ʻoe ʻolive, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻi he ngaahi ngoue ha meʻakai; pea ʻe motuhi ʻae fanga sipi mei he lotoʻā, pea ʻe ʻikai ha fanga manu ʻi he ngaahi tuʻunga:
For though the fig-tree shall not blossom, Neither shall fruit be in the vines; The labour of the olive-tree shall fail, And the fields shall yield no food; The flock shall be cut off from the fold, And there shall be no herd in the stalls:
18 Ka neongo ia te u fiefia ʻia Sihova, pea u nekeneka ʻi he ʻOtua ʻo hoku fakamoʻui.
Yet I will rejoice in Jehovah, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
19 Ko ʻeku mālohi ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtua, pea te ne ngaohi hoku vaʻe ke hangē ko e vaʻe ʻoe hainite, pea te ne pule ke u ʻeveʻeva ʻi hoku ngaahi potu māʻolunga. Ki heʻeku takimuʻa ʻoe fasi hiva ʻi he Nekina.
Jehovah, the Lord, is my strength, And he maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], And he will make me to walk upon my high places. To the chief Musician. On my stringed instruments.
