Habakkuk 1
1 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
先知哈巴谷所得的默示。
2 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! [even] cry out unto thee [of] violence, and thou wilt not save!
他說：耶和華啊！我呼求你， 你不應允，要到幾時呢？ 我因強暴哀求你，你還不拯救。
3 Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause [me] to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence [are] before me: and there are [that] raise up strife and contention.
你為何使我看見罪孽？ 你為何看着奸惡而不理呢？ 毀滅和強暴在我面前， 又起了爭端和相鬥的事。
4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
因此律法放鬆， 公理也不顯明； 惡人圍困義人， 所以公理顯然顛倒。
5 Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for [I] will work a work in your days, [which] ye will not believe, though it be told [you].
耶和華說：你們要向列國中觀看， 大大驚奇； 因為在你們的時候，我行一件事， 雖有人告訴你們，你們總是不信。
6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, [that] bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces [that are] not theirs.
我必興起迦勒底人， 就是那殘忍暴躁之民，通行遍地， 佔據那不屬自己的住處。
7 They [are] terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
他威武可畏， 判斷和勢力都任意發出。
8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle [that] hasteth to eat.
他的馬比豹更快， 比晚上的豺狼更猛。 馬兵踴躍爭先， 都從遠方而來； 他們飛跑如鷹抓食，
9 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up [as] the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
都為行強暴而來， 定住臉面向前， 將擄掠的人聚集，多如塵沙。
10 And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.
他們譏誚君王，笑話首領， 嗤笑一切保障，築壘攻取。
11 Then shall [his] mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, [imputing] this his power unto his god.
他以自己的勢力為神， 像風猛然掃過，顯為有罪。
12 [Art] thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.
耶和華－我的上帝，我的聖者啊， 你不是從亙古而有嗎？ 我們必不致死。 耶和華啊，你派定他為要刑罰人； 磐石啊，你設立他為要懲治人。
13 [Thou art] of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, [and] holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth [the man that is] more righteous than he?
你眼目清潔， 不看邪僻，不看奸惡； 行詭詐的，你為何看着不理呢？ 惡人吞滅比自己公義的， 你為何靜默不語呢？
14 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, [that have] no ruler over them?
你為何使人如海中的魚， 又如沒有管轄的爬物呢？
15 They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.
他用鉤鉤住，用網捕獲， 用拉網聚集他們； 因此，他歡喜快樂，
16 Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion [is] fat, and their meat plenteous.
就向網獻祭，向網燒香， 因他由此得肥美的分和富裕的食物。
17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
他豈可屢次倒空網羅， 將列國的人時常殺戮，毫不顧惜呢？
