< Habakkuk 3 >

1 A prayer by Habakkuk the prophet, —in the manner of an Ode.
O KA pule a Habakuka, ke kaula, me ka mele lanakila.
2 O Yahweh, I have heard tidings of thee, I am afraid. O Yahweh! Thy work—in the midst of the years, O revive it, in the midst of the years, wilt thou make known? In trouble, wilt thou remember, compassion?
E Iehova, ua lohe au i ka mea au i olelo ai, a weliweli iho la au: E Iehova, e hoala hou mai oe i kau hana iwaena o na makahiki, Iwaena o na makahiki e hoike mai; Iloko o ka huhu, e hoomanao mai oe i ke aloha.
3 GOD, from Teman, cometh in, and, the Holy One, from Mount Paran. (Selah) His splendour, hath covered the heavens, and, his praise, hath filled the earth:
O ke Akua ka i hele mai, mai Temana mai, A o ka Mea Hemolele mai ka mauna o Parana mai. (Sila) Uhi mai kona nani i ka lani, A ua piha ka honua i kona hoolea.
4 And, a brightness, as light, appeareth, Rays, out of his hand, hath he, —and, there, is the hiding of his power.
O kona olinolino ua like me ka la, Mai kona lima mai na kukuna malamalama, A malaila ka huna ana o kona mana.
5 Before him, marcheth pestilence, —and fever, goeth forth, at his feet:
Imua ona i hele aku ai ke ahulau, A o ka make wela i hele aku ma kona mau wawae.
6 He hath stood and measured the earth, he hath looked, and caused nations to tremble, and, scattered as dust, are the perpetual mountains, and, sunk, are the age-abiding hills, —Forthgoings age-abiding, are his.
Ku ae la ia, a ana aku la i ka honua, Nana ae la ia, a hoohaalulu i na lahuikanaka; Ua hooheleleiia na mauna kahiko, A ua hoohaahaaia na puu mau loa; Oia kona mau aoao i ka wa kahiko.
7 Under distress, saw I the tents of Ethiopia, —tremble, do the curtains of the land of Midian.
Ike aku la au i na halelewa o Kusana i ka popilikia: A haalulu na paku-halelewa o ka aina o Midiana.
8 Against the rivers, is Yahweh wroth? Against the rivers, is thine anger? Against the sea, is thine indignation? For thou wilt ride on Thy horses, Thy chariots, [shall be] salvation!
Ua huhu anei o Iehova i na muliwai? A ua ku e kou inaina i na kahawai? Ua maka e kou huhu i ke kai? I ka manawa au i holo ai maluna o kou mau lio, kou mau halekaa o ke ola?
9 To nakedness, is bared thy bow, oaths of chastisement—song! (Selah) With rivers, thou dost cleave open the land.
Ua wehe loa ia kau kakaka, o na ihe ehiku, oia ka olelo. (Sila) Ua hoonahae oe i ka honua me na muliwai.
10 The mountains, have seen thee—they tremble, a downpour of waters, hath passed along, —the roaring deep, hath given forth, his voice, on high—his hand, hath he uplifted.
Ike aku na mauna ia oe, haalulu iho la; A holo aku la ka wai nui, A hoopuka mai ka hohonu i kona leo, Hookiekie ae la ia i kona mau lima iluna.
11 Sun, moon, have stood still, on high, —like light, thine arrows, speed along, like brightness, is the flash of thy spear.
O ka la, o ka mahina, ku malie ma ko laua wahi: Ma ka malamalama o kou mau pua, hele aku la lakou, A ma ka wakawaka o kau ihe huali.
12 In wrath, dost thou stride through the land, —in anger, dost thou thresh the nations.
Me ka inaina i hele aku oe mawaena o ka aina, Me ka huhu i hahi iho oe i na lahuikanaka,
13 Thou hast come forth to the salvation of thy people, to salvation, with thine Anointed One, —Thou hast crushed the Head out of the house of the lawless one, baring the foundation up to the neck, (Selah)
Ua hele aku oe e hoola i kou poe kanaka, E hoopakele i kou mea i poniia; Ua ulupa oe i ke poo o ka mea no ka ohana hewa, Ua hoike ae i ka hohonu, A hiki i ka a-i. (Sila)
14 Thou hast pierced, with his own staves, the head of his chiefs, they storm along, to scatter me, —their exultant thought, is, in very deed, to devour the oppressed one, in a secret place!
Ua o hou aku oe i ke poo o kona poe alii, me kana mau ihe, Holo mai lakou, me he ino la, e hoopuehu ia'u; O ko lakou olioli, ua like me ka olioli o ka luku ana i ka mea ilihune ma kahi malu.
15 Thou hast driven, into the sea, thy chariot-horses. Foaming are the mighty waters!
Ua hele oe iwaena o ke kai me kou poe lio, Ma ke aleale o na wai nui.
16 I heard, and I trembled within me, at the voice, my lips, quivered, decay, entered, my bones, and, in my limbs, I trembled, —though I am to find rest, in the day of distress, when their invader, cometh up against the people.
Lohe iho la au, a haalulu ko'u opu; Haalulu kuu lehelehe i ka leo; Komo mai ka popopo iloko o kou mau iwi, A haalulu au ma kuu wahi malalo; He oiaio, e hoomaha au i ka la o ka popilikia, A pii ku e mai na kanaka, e hoopilikia mai.
17 Though, the fig-tree, should not blossom, and there be no sprouting in the vines, the yield of the olive, should have deceived, and, the fields, not have brought forth food, —the flock, have been consumed out of the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls,
I ka manawa e pua ole mai ai ka laau fiku, Aole hoi he hua ma na kumu waina; A e mae ka hua o ka laau oliva, Aole hoi e hua mai na kihapai i ka ai; A e okiia'ku ka poe hipa mai ka pahipa aku, Aole hoi he bipi maloko o na wahi hanai bipi;
18 Yet, I, in Yahweh, will rejoice, —I will exult in the God of my salvation.
E olioli no au iloko o Iehova, E hauoli no au iloko o ke Akua o kuu ola.
19 Yahweh, My Lord, is my strength, therefore hath he made my feet like hinds, and, upon my high places, will he cause me to march along. To the chief musician, on my double harp.
O Iehova ka Haku, oia ko'u ikaika, A e hoohalike mai ia i ko'u wawae, me na wawae o na dia, A e hoohele no ia ia'u maluna o kuu mau wahi kiekie. Na ka luna mele ma na mea kani.
