1 先知哈巴谷的禱告,調用流離歌。
A Prayer of Habakkuk the Prophet on Behalf of Those Who Are Ignorant.
2 耶和華啊,我聽見你的名聲就懼怕。 耶和華啊,求你在這些年間復興你的作為, 在這些年間顯明出來; 在發怒的時候以憐憫為念。
Lord, I heard what has been said about you, and I was afraid. Lord, your work, in the midst of years, revive it. In the midst of years, you will make it known. When you have become angry, you will remember mercy.
3 上帝從提幔而來; 聖者從巴蘭山臨到。 (細拉) 他的榮光遮蔽諸天; 頌讚充滿大地。
God will come from the south, and the Holy One from mount Pharan. His glory has covered the heavens, and the earth is full of his praise.
4 他的輝煌如同日光; 從他手裏射出光線, 在其中藏着他的能力。
His brightness shall be like the light; horns are in his hands. There, his strength has been hidden.
5 在他前面有瘟疫流行; 在他腳下有熱症發出。
Death will go forth before his face. And the devil shall depart before his feet.
6 他站立,量了大地, 觀看,趕散萬民。 永久的山崩裂; 長存的嶺塌陷; 他的作為與古時一樣。
He stood, and measured the earth. He looked, and dissolved the Gentiles. And the mountains of ages past have been shattered. The hills of the world became curved by the journeys of his eternity.
7 我見古珊的帳棚遭難, 米甸的幔子戰兢。
I saw the tents of Ethiopia for their iniquity; the tent-skins of the land of Midian will be thrown into confusion.
8 耶和華啊,你乘在馬上, 坐在得勝的車上, 豈是不喜悅江河、 向江河發怒氣、 向洋海發憤恨嗎?
Could you have been angry with the rivers, Lord? Or was your fury within the rivers, or your indignation in the sea? He will ascend upon your horses, and your four-horse chariots are salvation.
9 你的弓全然顯露, 向眾支派所起的誓都是可信的。 (細拉) 你以江河分開大地。
Being stirred up, you will take up your bow, the oaths you have spoken to the tribes. You will split apart the Rivers of the earth.
10 山嶺見你,無不戰懼; 大水氾濫過去, 深淵發聲,洶湧翻騰。
They saw you, and the mountains grieved. The great body of waters crossed over. The abyss uttered its voice. The pinnacle lifted up its hands.
11 因你的箭射出發光, 你的槍閃出光耀, 日月都在本宮停住。
The sun and the moon have stood firm in their dwelling place; with the light of your arrows, they shall go forth in the splendor of your flashing spear.
12 你發忿恨通行大地, 發怒氣責打列國,如同打糧。
With a roar, you will trample the earth. In your fury, you will cause the nations to be stupefied.
13 你出來要拯救你的百姓, 拯救你的受膏者, 打破惡人家長的頭, 露出他的腳,直到頸項。 (細拉)
You have gone forth for the salvation of your people, for salvation with your Christ. You struck the head of the house of the impious. You have laid bare his foundation all the way to the neck.
14 你用敵人的戈矛刺透他戰士的頭; 他們來如旋風,要將我們分散。 他們所喜愛的是暗中吞吃貧民。
You have cursed his scepters, the head of his warriors, those who approached like a whirlwind so as to scatter me. Their exultation was like one who devours the poor in secret.
15 你乘馬踐踏紅海, 就是踐踏洶湧的大水。
You made a way in the sea for your horses, in the mud of great waters.
16 我聽見耶和華的聲音, 身體戰兢,嘴唇發顫, 骨中朽爛; 我在所立之處戰兢。 我只可安靜等候災難之日臨到, 犯境之民上來。
I heard, and my stomach became troubled. My lips trembled at the voice. Let decay enter into my bones and gush forth from within me. Then I may rest in the day of tribulation, so that I may ascend to our people well-prepared.
17 雖然無花果樹不發旺, 葡萄樹不結果, 橄欖樹也不效力, 田地不出糧食, 圈中絕了羊, 棚內也沒有牛;
For the fig tree will not flower, and there will be no bud on the vines. The labor of the olive tree will be misleading, and the farmland will produce no food. The sheep will be cut off from the sheepfold, and there will be no herd at the manger.
18 然而,我要因耶和華歡欣, 因救我的上帝喜樂。
But I will rejoice in the Lord; and I will exult in God my Jesus.
19 主耶和華是我的力量; 他使我的腳快如母鹿的蹄, 又使我穩行在高處。 這歌交與伶長,用絲弦的樂器。
The Lord God is my strength. And he will set my feet like those of the stag. And he, the victor, will lead me beyond my high places while singing psalms.
