Habakkuk 1
1 The burden that Habakkuk the prophet saw.
Raajii Anbaaqoom raajichi arge.
2 How long, O Lord, shall I cry out, and you will not heed? Shall I shout to you while suffering violence, and you will not save?
Yaa Waaqayyo, ani hamma yoomiittin gargaarsaaf sitti iyyadha? Ati garuu na hin dhaggeeffattu; yookaan ani hamma yoomiitti, “Goolii!” jedhee sitti booʼee ati garuu na hin oolchitu?
3 Why have you revealed to me iniquity and hardship, to see plunder and injustice opposite me? And there has been judgment, but the opposition is more powerful.
Ati maaliif akka ani murtii dabe argu na goota? Ati maaliif balleessaa namaa obsita? Badiisnii fi gooliin fuula koo dura jiru; lollii fi waldhabiinsi baayʼateera.
4 Because of this, the law has been torn apart, and judgment does not persevere to its conclusion. For the impious prevail against the just. Because of this, a perverse judgment is issued.
Kanaafuu seerri laamshaʼeera; murtiin qajeelaan dabsameera. Akka murtiin qajeelaan jalʼifamuuf; namoonni hamoon qajeelota marsu.
5 Gaze among the nations, and see. Admire, and be astounded. For a work has been done in your days, which no one will believe when it is told.
“Saboota hubadhaa ilaalaa; akka malees dinqisiifadhaa. Ani bara keessan keessa waan isin yoo isinitti himame illee hin amanne tokko nan hojjedha.
6 For behold, I will raise up the Chaldeans, a bitter and swift people, marching across the width of the earth, to possess tabernacles not their own.
Ani warra Baabilon, uummata gara jabeessaa fi ariifataa, kan iddoo jireenya isaa hin taʼin qabachuuf guutummaa lafaa keessa yaaʼu sana nan kaasa.
7 It is dreadful and terrible. From themselves, judgment and their burden will issue.
Isaan saba sodaatamuu fi naasisuu dha; isaan ofii isaaniitiifuu seera; ulfina isaaniis ni guddifatu.
8 Their horses are more nimble than leopards and swifter than wolves in the evening; their horsemen will spread out. And then their horsemen will approach from far away; they will fly like the eagle, hurrying to devour.
Fardeen isaanii qeerransa caalaa saffisu; yeeyyii galgalaa caalaa sodaachisu. Namoonni isaanii kanneen farda yaabbatan ariitiidhaan gulufu; abbootiin farda isaaniis fagoodhaa dhufu. Isaan akkuma risaa waa nyaachuuf ariifatuu barrisu;
9 They will all approach towards the prey; their face is like a burning wind. And they will gather captives together like sand.
isaan hundinuu jeequmsaaf dhufu. Tuunni isaanii akkuma bubbee gammoojjii gara fuula duraatti qajeela; namoota hidhamanis akkuma cirrachaa walitti qaba.
10 And concerning kings, he will triumph, and sovereign rulers will be his laughingstock, and he will laugh over every fortress, and he will transport a rampart and seize it.
Isaan mootota tuffatanii bulchitootatti qoosu. Daʼannoo hundatti ni kolfu; biyyoos tuulanii isa qabatu.
11 Then his spirit will be altered, and he will cross over and fall. Such is his strength from his god.
Ergasii namoonni yakka hojjetan kanneen humna isaanii waaqa isaanii godhatan, akka bubbee lafa haxaaʼanii karaa isaanii itti fufu.”
12 Have you not existed from the beginning, Lord my God, my holy one, and so we shall not die? Lord, you have stationed him for judgment, and you have established that his strength will be swept away.
Yaa Waaqayyo, ati bara baraa jalqabdee jirta mitii? Yaa Waaqa ko, yaa Qulqullicha ko, ati gonkumaa hin duutu. Yaa Waaqayyo, ati akka isaan murtii kennaniif isaan muuddeerta; yaa Kattaa ko, ati akka isaan nama adabaniif isaan ramaddeerta.
13 Your eyes are pure, you do not behold evil, and you cannot look towards iniquity. Why do you look upon the agents of iniquity, and remain silent, while the impious is devouring one who is more just than himself?
Iji kee akka waan hamaa hin ilaalleef akka malee qulqulluu dha; ati daba argitee obsaan dhiisuu hin dandeessu. Yoos ati maaliif obsaan namoota hamoo ilaalta? Ati maaliif yeroo namoonni hamoon warra isaan caalaa qajeeloo taʼan liqimsanitti calʼistaa?
14 And you will make men like the fish of the sea and like the creeping things that have no ruler.
Ati namoota akka qurxummii galaana keessaa, akka uumamawwan galaanaa kanneen bulchaa hin qabnee gooteerta.
15 He lifted up everything with his hook. He drew them in with his dragnet, and gathered them into his netting. Over this, he will rejoice and exult.
Diinni hokkoodhaan isaan hunda ol baasa; kiyyoo isaatiinis isaan harkisa; kiyyoo isaa keessatti walitti isaan qabata; kanaafuu inni ni gammada; ni ililchas.
16 For this reason, he will offer victims to his dragnet, and he will sacrifice to his netting. For through them, his portion has been made fat, and his meals elite.
Inni sababii kiyyoo isaatiin bashannanee nyaata isaa filatamaatti gammaduuf kiyyoo isaatiif aarsaa dhiʼeessa; kiyyoo isaatiif illee ixaana aarsa.
17 Because of this, therefore, he expands his dragnet and will not be lenient in continually putting to death the peoples.
Inni kiyyoo isaa keessaa garagalchuudhaan, gara laafina malee ittuma fufee saboota balleessuu qabaa?
