< Habakkuk 1 >

1 The burden, which Habakkuk the Prophet did see.
Faminaniana ny loza hanjo, izay hitan’ i Habakoka mpaminany.
2 O Lord, howe long shall I crye, and thou wilt not heare! euen crye out vnto thee for violence, and thou wilt not helpe!
Jehovah ô, indrisy ny hahelan’ ny efa nitarainako, Nefa tsy nohenoinao! Mitaraina aho hoe: Loza! Nefa tsy vonjenao ihany.
3 Why doest thou shewe mee iniquitie, and cause me to beholde sorowe? for spoyling, and violence are before me: and there are that rayse vp strife and contention.
Nahoana no ataonao mahita faharatsiana aho. Ary mijery fahoriana Hianao? Fa fandravana sy loza no eo anatrehako, Ary misy ady, sady miseho ny fifandirana.
4 Therefore the Lawe is dissolued, and iudgement doeth neuer go forth: for the wicked doeth compasse about the righteous: therefore wrong iudgement proceedeth.
Koa noho izany dia ngoly ny lalàna, Ary tsy mivoaka ny rariny; Fa irohonan’ ny ratsy fanahy ny marina, Ka izany no ivoahan’ ny fitsarana miangatra.
5 Beholde among the heathen, and regarde, and wonder, and maruaile: for I will worke a worke in your dayes: yee will not beleeue it, though it be tolde you.
Jereo any amin’ ny jentilisa, ka diniho, ary gagà dia gagà; Fa manao zavatra amin’ ny andronareo Aho, Izay tsy hinoanareo, na dia holazaina aminareo aza.
6 For lo, I raise vp the Caldeans, that bitter and furious nation, which shall goe vpon the breadth of the lande to possesse the dwelling places, that are not theirs.
Fa, indro, atsangako ny Kaldeana, Dia ilay firenena masiaka sady mirehidrehitra, Izay mamaky eran’ ny tany Hahazoany fonenana izay tsy azy.
7 They are terrible and fearefull: their iudgement and their dignitie shall proceede of theselues.
Mahatsiravina sy mahatahotra izy; Avy amin’ ny tenany ihany ny fitsarany sy ny fahalehibiazany.
8 Their horses also are swifter then the leopards, and are more fierce then the wolues in the euening: and their horsemen are many: and their horsemen shall come from farre: they shall flie as the eagle hasting to meate.
Faingana noho ny leoparda ny soavaliny Sady masiaka noho ny amboadia hariva; Ny mpitaingin-tsoavaliny mampiriotra, eny, ny mpitaingin-tsoavaliny dia avy lavitra; Miezaka toy ny voromahery maika hihinana izy.
9 They come all to spoyle: before their faces shalbe an Eastwinde, and they shall gather the captiuitie, as the sand.
Hampidi-doza no ihavian’ izy rehetra; Ny handroso ihany no atrehiny fatratra, Ka manangona sambotra toy ny fasika izy.
10 And they shall mocke the Kings, and the princes shalbe a skorne vnto them: they shall deride euery strong holde: for they shall gather dust, and take it.
Izy manakora ny mpanjaka, Ary ihomehezany ny mpanapaka; Ny tanàna mimanda rehetra dia ihomehezany, Ka dia manandratra tovon-tany izy ka mahafata azy.
11 Then shall they take a courage, and transgresse and doe wickedly, imputing this their power vnto their god.
Dia mihelina toy ny rivotra izy Ary mandroso ka mahazo heloka. Izany heriny izany no andriamaniny!
12 Art thou not of olde, O Lord my God, mine holy one? we shall not die: O Lord, thou hast ordeined them for iudgement, and O God, thou hast established them for correction.
Tsy hatrizay hatrizay va Hianao, Jehovah Andriamanitro, Iray Masiko? Tsy ho faty izahay; Ry Jehovah ô, ho famaizana no nanendrenao ireny, Ry Vatolampy ô, fananarana no nanangananao azy
13 Thou art of pure eyes, and canst not see euill: thou canst not behold wickednesse: wherefore doest thou looke vpon the transgressors, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked deuoureth the man, that is more righteous then he?
Hianao, Izay madio maso ka tsy te-hitsinjo ny ratsy Ary tsy mahajery fahoriana, Nahoana Hianao no mijery izay mamitaka Ary mangìna, raha ny ratsy fanahy mandrapaka ny marina noho izy,
14 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, and as the creeping things, that haue no ruler ouer them.
Ary manao ny olona ho toy ny hazandrano any an-dranomasina, Sy ho toy ny biby mandady sy mikisaka, izay tsy mana-mpanapaka?
15 They take vp all with the angle: they catch it in their net, and gather it in their yarne, whereof they reioyce and are glad.
Aingainy amin’ ny fintana izy rehetra, Samboriny amin’ ny haratony Ary sarihany amin’ ny harato tarihiny; Ka dia faly sy ravoravo izy.
16 Therefore they sacrifice vnto their net, and burne incense vnto their yarne, because by them their portion is fat and their meat plenteous.
Koa izany no amonoany zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an’ ny haratony sy andoroany ditin-kazo manitra ho an’ ny harato tarihiny; Fa ireo no ahazoany hanina matsiro sy anjara matavy.
17 Shall they therefore stretch out their net and not spare continually to slay the nations?
Koa noho izany dia hanaisotra ny ao amin’ ny tandrohony va izy Ary hamono firenena mandrakariva ka tsy hiantra?
