Habakkuk 1
1 The burden that Habacuc the prophet saw.
預言者ハバククが示を蒙りし預言の重負
2 How long, O Lord, shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear? shall I cry out to thee suffering violence, and thou wilt not save?
ヱホバよ我呼はるに汝の我に聽たまはざること何時までぞや 我なんぢにむかひて強暴を訴ふれども汝は助けたまはざるなり
3 Why hast thou shewn me iniquity and grievance, to see rapine and injustice before me? and there is a judgment, but opposition is more powerful.
汝なにとて我に害惡を見せたまふや 何とて艱難を瞻望居たまふや 奪掠および強暴わが前に行はる且爭論あり鬪諍おこる
4 Therefore the law is torn in pieces, and judgment cometh not to the end: because the wicked prevaileth against the just, therefore wrong judgment goeth forth.
是によりて律法弛み公義正しく行はれず惡き者義しき者を圍むが故に公義曲りて行はる
5 Behold ye among the nations, and see: wonder, and be astonished: for a work is done in your days, which no man will believe when it shall be told.
汝ら國々の民の中を望み觀おどろけ駭け 汝らの日に我一の事を爲ん 之を告る者あるとも汝ら信ぜざらん
6 For behold, I will raise up the Chaldeans, a bitter and swift nation, marching upon the breadth of the earth, to possess the dwelling places that are not their own.
視よ我カルデヤ人を興さんとす 是すなはち猛くまた荒き國人にして地を縦横に行めぐり 己の有ならざる住處を奪ふ者なり
7 They are dreadful, and terrible: from themselves shall their judgment, and their burden proceed.
是は懼るべく又驚くべし 其是非威光は己より出づ
8 Their horses are lighter than leopards, and swifter than evening wolves; and their horsemen shall be spread abroad: for their horsemen shall come from afar, they shall fly as an eagle that maketh haste to eat.
その馬は豹よりも迅く夜求食する豺狼よりも疾し 其騎兵は跑まはる 即ちその騎兵は遠き處より來る 其飛ことは物を食はんと急ぐ鷲のごとし
9 They shall all come to the prey, their face is like a burning wind: and they shall gather together captives as the sand.
是は全く強暴のために來り 其面を前にむけて頻に進むその俘虜を寄集むることは砂のごとし
10 And their prince shall triumph over kings, and princes shall be his laughingstock: and he shall laugh at every strong hold, and shall cast up a mount, and shall take it.
是は王等を侮り君等を笑ひ諸の城々を笑ひ土を積あげてこれを取ん
11 Then shall his spirit be changed, and he shall pass, and fall: this is his strength of his god.
斯て風のごとくに行めぐり進みわたりて罪を獲ん 是は己の力を神とす
12 Wast thou not from the beginning, O Lord my God, my holy one, and we shall not die? Lord, thou hast appointed him for judgment: and made him strong for correction.
ヱホバわが神わが聖者よ 汝は永遠より在すに非ずや 我らは死なじ ヱホバよ汝は是を審判のために設けたまへり 磐よ汝は是を懲戒のために立たまへり
13 Thy eyes are too pure to behold evil, and thou canst not look on iniquity. Why lookest thou upon them that do unjust things, and holdest thy peace when the wicked devoureth the man that is more just than himself?
汝は目清くして肯て惡を觀たまはざる者 肯て不義を視たまはざる者なるに何ゆゑ邪曲の者を觀すて置たまふや 惡き者を己にまさりて義しき者を呑噬ふに何ゆゑ汝默し居たまふや
14 And thou wilt make men as the fishes of the sea, and as the creeping things that have no ruler.
汝は人をして海の魚のごとくならしめ君あらぬ昆蟲のごとくならしめたまふ
15 He lifted up all them with his hook, he drew them in his drag, and gathered them into his net: for this he will be glad and rejoice.
彼鈎をもて之を盡く釣あげ網をもて之を寄せ集め引網をもて之を捕ふるなり 是に因て彼歡び樂しむ
16 Therefore will he offer victims to his drag, and he will sacrifice to his net: because through them his portion is made fat, and his meat dainty.
是故に彼その網に犠牲を獻げその引網に香を焚く 其は之がためにその分肥まさりその食饒になりたればなり
17 For this cause therefore he spreadeth his net, and will not spare continually to slay the nations.
然ど彼はその網を傾けつつなほたえず國々の人を惜みなく殺すことをするならんか
