< Habakkuk 3 >

1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, put to Shigionoth.
Oração do profeta Habacuc sobre Shigionoth.
2 O Lord, word of you has come to my ears; I have seen your work, O Lord; when the years come near make it clear; in wrath keep mercy in mind.
Ouvi, Senhor, a tua palavra, e temi: aviva, ó Senhor, a tua obra no meio dos anos, no meio dos anos a notifica: na tua ira lembra-te de misericórdia.
3 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. (Selah) The heavens were covered with his glory, and the earth was full of his praise.
Deus veio de Teman, e o santo do monte de Paran (Selah) A sua glória cobriu os céus, e a terra foi cheia do seu louvor.
4 He was shining like the light; he had rays coming out from his hand: there his power was kept secret.
E o resplandor se fez como a luz, raios brilhantes lhe saiam da sua mão, e ali estava o esconderijo da sua força.
5 Before him went disease, and flames went out at his feet.
Diante dele ia a peste, e queimaduras passavam diante dos seus pés.
6 From his high place he sent shaking on the earth; he saw and nations were suddenly moved: and the eternal mountains were broken, the unchanging hills were bent down; his ways are eternal.
Parou, e mediu a terra: olhou, e fez sair as nações: e os montes perpétuos foram esmiuçados; os outeiros eternos se encurvaram, porque o andar eterno é seu
7 The curtains of Cushan were troubled, and the tents of Midian were shaking.
Vi as tendas de Cusan debaixo da vaidade: as cortinas da terra de Midian tremiam.
8 Was your wrath burning against the rivers? were you angry with the sea, that you went on your horses, on your war-carriages of salvation?
Acaso é contra os rios, Senhor, que tu estás irado? contra os ribeiros foi a tua ira? contra o mar foi o teu furor, quando andaste montado sobre os teus cavalos? os teus carros foram a salvação?
9 Your bow was quite uncovered. (Selah) By you the earth was cut through with rivers.
Descoberto se despertou o teu arco, pelos juramentos feitos às tribos, pela tua palavra (Selah) Tu fendeste a terra com rios.
10 The mountains saw you and were moved with fear; the clouds were streaming with water: the voice of the deep was sounding; the sun did not come up, and the moon kept still in her place.
Os montes te viram, e tremeram: a inundação das águas passou; deu o abismo a sua voz, levantou as suas mãos ao alto.
11 At the light of your arrows they went away, at the shining of your polished spear.
O sol e a lua pararam nas suas moradas: andaram à luz das tuas flechas, ao resplandor do relâmpago da tua lança.
12 You went stepping through the land in wrath, crushing the nations in your passion.
Com indignação marchaste pela terra, com ira trilhaste as nações.
13 You went out for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of the one on whom your holy oil was put; wounding the head of the family of the evil-doer, uncovering the base even to the neck. (Selah)
Tu saíste para salvamento do teu povo, para salvamento do teu ungido: tu feriste a cabeça da casa do ímpio, descobrindo o alicerce até ao pescoço (Selah)
14 You have put your spears through his head, his horsemen were sent in flight like dry stems; they had joy in driving away the poor, in making a meal of them secretly.
Tu furaste com os teus cajados a cabeça das suas aldeias; eles me acometeram tempestuosos para me espalharem: alegravam-se, como se estivessem para devorar o pobre em segredo.
15 The feet of your horses were on the sea, on the mass of great waters.
Tu com os teus cavalos marchaste pelo mar, pelo montão de grandes águas.
16 Hearing it, my inner parts were moved, and my lips were shaking at the sound; my bones became feeble, and my steps were uncertain under me: I gave sounds of grief in the day of trouble, when his forces came up against the people in bands.
Ouvindo-o eu, o meu ventre se comoveu, à sua voz tremeram os meus lábios; entrou a podridão nos meus ossos, e estremeci dentro de mim; no dia da angústia descançarei, quando subir contra o povo que nos destruirá.
17 For though the fig-tree has no flowers, and there is no fruit on the vine, and work on the olive comes to nothing, and the fields give no food; and the flock is cut off from its resting-place, and there is no herd in the cattle-house:
Porque ainda que a figueira não floresça, nem haja fruto na vide; o produto da oliveira minta, e os campos não produzam mantimento; as ovelhas da malhada sejam arrebatadas, e nos currais não haja vacas:
18 Still, I will be glad in the Lord, my joy will be in the God of my salvation.
Todavia eu me alegrarei no Senhor: gozar-me-ei no Deus da minha salvação.
19 The Lord God is my strength, and he makes my feet like roes' feet, guiding me on my high places. For the chief music-maker on corded instruments.
Jehovah, o Senhor, é minha força, e fará os meus pés como os das cervas, e me fará andar sobre as minhas alturas. Para o cantor-mór sobre os meus instrumentos de música.
