حَبَقُّوق 3

١ 1 صَلَاةٌ لِحَبَقُّوقَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ عَلَى ٱلشَّجَوِيَّةِ:

The prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, in the form of an ode.

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 thy words, and tremble. 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 cometh from Teman, And the Holy One from mount Paran; His glory covereth the heavens, And the earth is full of his praise.

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

His brightness is as the light; Rays stream forth from his hand, And there is the hiding-place of his power.

٥ 5 قُدَّامَهُ ذَهَبَ ٱلْوَبَأُ، وَعِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ خَرَجَتِ ٱلْحُمَّى.

Before him goeth the pestilence, And the plague followeth his steps.

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

He standeth, and measureth the earth; He beholdeth, and maketh the nations tremble; The everlasting mountains are broken asunder; The eternal hills sink down; The eternal paths are trodden by him.

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

I see the tents of Cushan in affliction, And the canopies of the land of Midian tremble.

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

Is the anger of Jehovah kindled against the rivers, Is thy wrath against the rivers, Is thy indignation against the floods, That thou ridest on with thy horses, Upon thy chariots of victory?

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

Thy bow is made bare; Curses are the arrows of thy word; Thou causest rivers to break forth from the earth.

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

The mountains see thee and tremble; The flood of waters overflows; The deep uttereth his voice, And lifteth up his hands on high.

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

The sun and the moon remain in their habitation, At the light of thine arrows which fly, At the brightness of the lightning of thy spear.

١٢ 12 بِغَضَبٍ خَطَرْتَ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ، بِسَخَطٍ دُسْتَ ٱلْأُمَمَ.

Thou marchest through the land in indignation; Thou thrashest the nations in anger;

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

Thou goest forth for the deliverance of thy people, For the deliverance of thine anointed. Thou smitest the head of the house of the wicked; Thou destroyest the foundation even to the neck.

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

Thou piercest with his own spears the chief of his captains, Who rushed like a whirlwind to scatter us; Who exulted, as if they should devour the distressed in a hiding-place.

١٥ 15 سَلَكْتَ ٱلْبَحْرَ بِخَيْلِكَ، كُوَمَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ ٱلْكَثِيرَةِ.

Thou ridest through the sea with thy horses, Through the raging 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 have heard, and my heart trembleth; My lips quiver at the voice; Rottenness entereth into my bones, and my knees tremble, That I must wait in silence for the day of trouble, When the invader shall come up against my people!

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 the fig-tree shall not blossom, And there shall be no fruit upon the vine; The produce of the olive shall fail, And the fields shall yield no food. The flocks shall he cut off from the folds, And there shall be no herd in the stalls.

١٨ 18 فَإِنِّي أَبْتَهِجُ بِٱلرَّبِّ وَأَفْرَحُ بِإِلَهِ خَلَاصِي.

Yet will I rejoice in Jehovah, I will exult in God, my helper.

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

The Lord Jehovah is my strength; He will make my feet like the hind's, And cause me to walk upon my high places. “To the leader of the music on my stringed instruments.”
