Habakkuk 1
1 The birthun that Abacuk, the profete, sai.
先知哈巴谷所得的默示。
2 Hou longe, Lord, schal Y crye, and thou schalt not here? Y suffrynge violence schal crie an hiy to thee, and thou schalt not saue?
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 Whi schewidist thou to me wickidnesse and trauel, for to se prey and vnriytwisnesse ayens me? Whi biholdist thou dispiseris, and art stille, the while an vnpitouse man defoulith a riytfulere than hym silf? And thou schalt make men as fischis of the see, and as crepynge thingis not hauynge a ledere; and doom is maad, and ayenseiyng is more miyti.
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 For this thing lawe is `to-brokun, and doom cometh not til to the ende; for the vnpitouse man hath miyt ayens the iust, therfor weiward doom schal go out.
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 Biholde ye in hethene men, and se ye, and wondre ye, and greetli drede ye; for a werk is doon in youre daies, which no man schal bileue, whanne it schal be teld.
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! Y schal reise Caldeis, a bittir folk and swift, goynge on the breede of erthe, that he welde tabernaclis not hise.
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 It is orible, and dredeful; the dom and birthun therof schal go out of it silf.
他威武可畏， 判斷和勢力都任意發出。
8 His horsis ben liytere than pardis, and swifter than euentyd woluys, and hise horse men schulen be scaterid abrood; for whi `horse men schulen come fro fer, thei schulen fle as an egle hastynge to ete.
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 Alle men schulen come to preye, the faces of hem is as a brennynge wynd; and he schal gadere as grauel caitifte,
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 he schal haue victorie of kyngis, and tirauntis schulen be of his scornyng. He schal leiye on al strengthe, and schal bere togidere heep of erthe, and schal take it.
他們譏誚君王，笑話首領， 嗤笑一切保障，築壘攻取。
11 Thanne the spirit schal be chaungid, and he schal passe forth, and falle doun; this is the strengthe of hym, of his god.
他以自己的勢力為神， 像風猛然掃過，顯為有罪。
12 Whether `thou, Lord, art not my God, myn hooli, and we schulen not die? Lord, in to doom thou hast set hym, and thou groundidist hym strong, that thou schuldist chastise.
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 Thin iyen ben clene, se thou not yuel, and thou schalt not mowe biholde to wickidnesse. Whi biholdist thou not on men doynge wickidli, and thou art stille, while the vnpitouse man deuourith a more iust man than hymsilf?
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 thou schalt make men as fischis of the see, and as a crepynge thing not hauynge prince.
你為何使人如海中的魚， 又如沒有管轄的爬物呢？
15 He schal lifte vp al in the hook; he drawide it in his greet net, and gaderide in to his net; on this thing he schal be glad, and make ioie with outforth.
他用鉤鉤住，用網捕獲， 用拉網聚集他們； 因此，他歡喜快樂，
16 Therfore he schal offere to his greet net, and schal make sacrifice to his net; for in hem his part is maad fat, and his mete is chosun.
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 Therfor for this thing he spredith abrood his greet net, and euere more he ceesith not for to sle folkis.
他豈可屢次倒空網羅， 將列國的人時常殺戮，毫不顧惜呢？
