حَبَقُّوق 3

١ 1 صَلَاةٌ لِحَبَقُّوقَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ عَلَى ٱلشَّجَوِيَّةِ:

A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, set to Shigionoth.

٢ 2 يَارَبُّ، قَدْ سَمِعْتُ خَبَرَكَ فَجَزِعْتُ. يَارَبُّ، عَمَلَكَ فِي وَسَطِ ٱلسِّنِينَ أَحْيِهِ. فِي وَسَطِ ٱلسِّنِينَ عَرِّفْ. فِي ٱلْغَضَبِ ٱذْكُرِ ٱلرَّحْمَةَ.

O Jehovah, I have heard the report of thee, and am afraid. O Jehovah, revive thy work in the midst of the years. In the midst of the years make it known. In wrath remember mercy.

٣ 3 ٱللهُ جَاءَ مِنْ تِيمَانَ، وَٱلْقُدُّوسُ مِنْ جَبَلِ فَارَانَ. سِلَاهْ. جَلَالُهُ غَطَّى ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ، وَٱلْأَرْضُ ٱمْتَلَأَتْ مِنْ تَسْبِيحِهِ.

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.

٤ 4 وَكَانَ لَمَعَانٌ كَٱلنُّورِ. لَهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ شُعَاعٌ، وَهُنَاكَ ٱسْتِتَارُ قُدْرَتِهِ.

And his brightness was as the light. He had rays from his hand, and there was the hiding of his power.

٥ 5 قُدَّامَهُ ذَهَبَ ٱلْوَبَأُ، وَعِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ خَرَجَتِ ٱلْحُمَّى.

Before him went the pestilence. And fiery bolts went forth at his feet.

٦ 6 وَقَفَ وَقَاسَ ٱلْأَرْضَ. نَظَرَ فَرَجَفَ ٱلْأُمَمُ وَدُكَّتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ ٱلدَّهْرِيَّةُ وَخَسَفَتْ آكَامُ ٱلْقِدَمِ. مَسَالِكُ ٱلْأَزَلِ لَهُ.

He stood, and measured the earth. He beheld, and drove apart the nations. And the eternal mountains were scattered. The everlasting hills bowed. His goings were as of old.

٧ 7 رَأَيْتُ خِيَامَ كُوشَانَ تَحْتَ بَلِيَّةٍ. رَجَفَتْ شُقَقُ أَرْضِ مِدْيَانَ.

I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction. The curtains of the land of Midian trembled.

٨ 8 هَلْ عَلَى ٱلْأَنْهَارِ حَمِيَ يَارَبُّ؟ هَلْ عَلَى ٱلْأَنْهَارِ غَضَبُكَ؟ أَوْ عَلَى ٱلْبَحْرِ سَخَطُكَ حَتَّى إِنَّكَ رَكِبْتَ خَيْلَكَ، مَرْكَبَاتِكَ مَرْكَبَاتِ ٱلْخَلَاصِ؟

Was Jehovah displeased with the rivers? Was thine anger against the rivers, or thy wrath against the sea, that thou rode upon thy horses, upon thy chariots of salvation?

٩ 9 عُرِّيَتْ قَوْسُكَ تَعْرِيَةً. سُبَاعِيَّاتُ سِهَامٍ كَلِمَتُكَ. سِلَاهْ. شَقَّقْتَ ٱلْأَرْضَ أَنْهَارًا.

Thy bow was made quite bare. The oaths to the tribes were a sure word. (Selah) Thou split the earth with rivers.

١٠ 10 أَبْصَرَتْكَ فَفَزِعَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ. سَيْلُ ٱلْمِيَاهِ طَمَا. أَعْطَتِ ٱللُّجَّةُ صَوْتَهَا. رَفَعَتْ يَدَيْهَا إِلَى ٱلْعَلَاءِ.

The mountains saw thee, and were afraid. The tempest of waters passed by. The deep uttered its voice, and lifted up its hands on high.

١١ 11 اَلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ وَقَفَا فِي بُرُوجِهِمَا لِنُورِ سِهَامِكَ ٱلطَّائِرَةِ، لِلَمَعَانِ بَرْقِ مَجْدِكَ.

The sun and moon stood still in their habitation, at the light of thine arrows as they went, at the shining of thy glittering spear.

١٢ 12 بِغَضَبٍ خَطَرْتَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، بِسَخَطٍ دُسْتَ ٱلْأُمَمَ.

Thou marched though the land in indignation. Thou threshed the nations in anger.

١٣ 13 خَرَجْتَ لِخَلَاصِ شَعْبِكَ، لِخَلَاصِ مَسِيحِكَ. سَحَقْتَ رَأْسَ بَيْتِ ٱلشِّرِّيرِ مُعَرِّيًا ٱلْأَسَاسَ حَتَّى ٱلْعُنُقِ. سِلَاهْ.

Thou went forth for the salvation of thy people, for the salvation of thine anointed. Thou wound the head out of the house of the wicked man, laying bare the foundation even to the neck. (Selah)

١٤ 14 ثَقَبْتَ بِسِهَامِهِ رَأْسَ قَبَائِلِهِ. عَصَفُوا لِتَشْتِيتِي. ٱبْتِهَاجُهُمْ كَمَا لِأَكْلِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ فِي ٱلْخُفْيَةِ.

Thou pierced with his own staves the head of his warriors. They came as a whirlwind to scatter me. Their rejoicing was as to devour the poor man secretly.

١٥ 15 سَلَكْتَ ٱلْبَحْرَ بِخَيْلِكَ، كُوَمَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ.

Thou walked through the sea with thy horses, the heap of mighty waters.

١٦ 16 سَمِعْتُ فَٱرْتَعَدَتْ أَحْشَائِي. مِنَ ٱلصَّوْتِ رَجَفَتْ شَفَتَايَ. دَخَلَ ٱلنَّخْرُ فِي عِظَامِي، وَٱرْتَعَدْتُ فِي مَكَانِي لِأَسْتَرِيحَ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلضِّيقِ، عِنْدَ صُعُودِ ٱلشَّعْبِ ٱلَّذِي يَزْحَمُنَا.

I heard, and my body trembled. My lips quivered at the voice. Rottenness enters into my bones, and I tremble in my place, because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, for the coming up of the people who invade us.

١٧ 17 فَمَعَ أَنَّهُ لَا يُزْهِرُ ٱلتِّينُ، وَلَا يَكُونُ حَمْلٌ فِي ٱلْكُرُومِ. يَكْذِبُ عَمَلُ ٱلزَّيْتُونَةِ، وَٱلْحُقُولُ لَا تَصْنَعُ طَعَامًا. يَنْقَطِعُ ٱلْغَنَمُ مِنَ ٱلْحَظِيرَةِ، وَلَا بَقَرَ فِي ٱلْمَذَاوِدِ،

For though the fig tree shall not flourish, nor shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive 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;

١٨ 18 فَإِنِّي أَبْتَهِجُ بِٱلرَّبِّ وَأَفْرَحُ بِإِلَهِ خَلَاصِي.

yet I will rejoice in Jehovah. I will joy in the God of my salvation.

١٩ 19 اَلرَّبُّ ٱلسَّيِّدُ قُوَّتِي، وَيَجْعَلُ قَدَمَيَّ كَٱلْأَيَائِلِ، وَيُمَشِّينِي عَلَى مُرْتَفَعَاتِي. لِرَئِيسِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى آلَاتِي ذَوَاتِ ٱلْأَوْتَارِ.

Jehovah, the Lord, is my strength. And he makes my feet like hinds' feet, and will make me to walk upon my high places.
