Habakkuk 1
1 The burden that Habacuc the prophet saw.
Pa inge mwe fahkak su LEUM GOD El akkalemye nu sin mwet palu Habakkuk.
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?
O LEUM GOD, lusa kac pacl nga ac pang in suk kasru na kom fah lohngyu, ac nga ac tung putaka na kom fah molikutla liki mwe keok?
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.
Efu ku kom oru ngan liye kain in mwe lokoalok inge? Efu ku kom ku in muteng kain orekma sufal inge? Mwe kunausla ac mwe keok rauniyuyak, ac oasr amei ac anwuk orek yen nukewa.
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.
Ma sap uh munasla ac wanginla sripa, ac nununku suwohs tiana orek. Mwet koluk uh kutangla mwet wo, ouinge nununku suwohs ikilyukelik.
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.
Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Suiyana mutunfacl su raunikowosyak, ac kowos fah fwefela ke ma kowos liye. Nga ac oru sie ma, ac kowos ac tia lulalfongi ke kowos ac lohngak uh.
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.
Nga ac sang ku nu sin mwet Babylonia tuh elos in leumi mutunfacl uh. Mwet inge mwet na sulallal ac irpit. Elos oatula som sasla faclu in kutangla acn saya.
7 They are dreadful, and terrible: from themselves shall their judgment, and their burden proceed.
Elos akyokyelik sangeng ac tuninfong, ac in nunak fulat lalos elos tiana akilen kutena ma sap sayen ma elos lungse oru.
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.
“Horse natulos uh mui liki kosro leopard, ac sulallal liki wolf masrinsralla uh. Mwet kasrusr fin horse lalos tuku yen loesla me. Horse natulos kihling infohk uh. Elos pwesroulme oana luman won eagle ke elos putati in sruokya ma nalos.
9 They shall all come to the prey, their face is like a burning wind: and they shall gather together captives as the sand.
“Mwet mweun lalos sikla ac sulallal in anwuk, ac mwet e nukewa elos tuninfongla ke elos ac sikme uh. Pisen mwet elos sruokya uh pukanten oana puhk uh.
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.
Elos aklusrongtenye tokosra uh ac isrun mwet leum. Wangin pot ku ac ku in sikululosi — elos ac yolsani fohk uh nu pe pot uh, fanyak kac ac eisla acn uh.
11 Then shall his spirit be changed, and he shall pass, and fall: this is his strength of his god.
Na elos ac tuhyak oana eng uh sasla som. Mwet inge oru mu ku lalos uh pa god lalos.”
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.
O LEUM GOD, nuna kom na pa God oe ke mutawauk ah me. Kom God luk, su mutal ac moul ma pahtpat. LEUM GOD luk ac Mwet Lango luk, kom sulela mwet Babylonia ac sang ku nu selos elos in mau ku in kalyei kut.
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?
Tusruktu, efu ku kom ku in muteng orekma lun mwet koluk inge? Motom arulana mutalla in liye ma koluk, ac kom arulana srunga liye ke mwet uh oru ma koluk. Ke ma inge efu ku kom mislana ke elos kunausla mwet su arulana suwohs lukelos?
14 And thou wilt make men as the fishes of the sea, and as the creeping things that have no ruler.
Efu ku kom ku in oru mwet uh oana ik uh, ku oana ma orakrak ma wangin leum lalos?
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.
Mwet Babylonia orekmakin ka in sruokya mwet uh, oana ik uh. Elos amakunulos in nwek natulos, ac sasa ke engankinyen ma elos sruokya!
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.
Elos alyalu pacna nu ke nwek natulos ac orek kisa nu kac, mweyen nwek natulos uh pa sang mwe insewowo nu selos.
17 For this cause therefore he spreadeth his net, and will not spare continually to slay the nations.
Ya elos ac orekmakinna cutlass natulos nwe tok, ac nuna kunausna mutanfahl uh ac tia pakomuta?
