Habakkuk 1
1 The burden that Habacuc the prophet saw.
Breme, ki ga je videl prerok Habakúk.
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?
Oh Gospod, doklej bom klical in ne boš slišal! Celó klical k tebi o nasilju in ne boš rešil!
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.
Zakaj mi kažeš krivičnost in mi povzročaš, da gledam gorje? Kajti plenjenje in nasilje sta pred menoj in tam so takšni, ki vzdigujejo spor in prepir.
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.
Zatorej je postava ohlapna in sodba nikoli ne gre naprej, kajti zlobni obdaja pravičnega, zato izhaja napačna sodba.
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.
Poglejte med pogane in preudarite in se silno čudite, kajti jaz bom naredil delo, delo v vaših dneh, ki ga ne boste verjeli, čeprav bi vam bilo povedano.
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.
Kajti glejte, vzdignil bom Kaldejce, ki so zagrenjen in nagel narod, ki bo korakal skozi širino dežele, da vzame v last prebivališča, ki niso njihova.
7 They are dreadful, and terrible: from themselves shall their judgment, and their burden proceed.
Strašni so in grozni. Njihova sodba in njihovo dostojanstvo bo izšlo iz njih samih.
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.
Tudi njihovi konji so hitrejši kakor leopardi in bolj kruti kakor večerni volkovi. Njihovi konjeniki se bodo razprostrli in njihovi konjeniki bodo prišli od daleč. Leteli bodo kakor orel, ki hiti, da žre.
9 They shall all come to the prey, their face is like a burning wind: and they shall gather together captives as the sand.
Vsi bodo prišli zaradi nasilja. Njihovi obrazi bodo izpiti kakor vzhodnik in ujetništva bodo zbrali kakor peska.
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.
Norčevali se bodo iz kraljev in princi jim bodo prezir. Zasmehovali bodo vsako oporišče, kajti nagrmadili bodo prah in ga zavzeli.
11 Then shall his spirit be changed, and he shall pass, and fall: this is his strength of his god.
Potem se bo njegov um spremenil, šel bo mimo in se pohujšal, prištevajoč to svojo moč svojemu bogu.
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.
Mar nisi ti od večnosti, oh Gospod, moj Bog, moj Sveti? Ne bomo umrli. Oh Gospod, za sodbo si jih odredil. Oh mogočni Bog, utrdil si jih za grajanje.
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?
Tvoje oči so preveč čiste, da bi gledal zlo in ne moreš gledati na krivičnost. Zakaj torej gledaš na tiste, ki postopajo zahrbtno in zadržuješ svoj jezik, ko zlobni požira človeka, ki je pravičnejši kakor on?
14 And thou wilt make men as the fishes of the sea, and as the creeping things that have no ruler.
In ljudi delaš kakor ribe morja, kakor plazeče stvari, ki nimajo nobenega vladarja nad seboj?
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.
Vse izmed njih privlečejo s trnkom, lovijo jih v svojo mrežo in jih zbirajo v svojo vlako; zato se veselijo in so veseli.
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.
Zato darujejo svoji mreži in svoji vrši zažigajo kadilo, ker po njima je njihov delež obilen in njihova hrana obilna.
17 For this cause therefore he spreadeth his net, and will not spare continually to slay the nations.
Ali bodo zato praznili svojo mrežo in ne bodo nenehno prizanašali pobijanju narodov?
