< Habakkuk 1 >

1 [I am] Habakkuk, a prophet. This is the [message that Yahweh] gave to me in a vision.
Kanu waa waxa culus ee uu Nebi Xabaquuq arkay.
2 [I said, ] “Yahweh, how long must I continue to call [to you] for help before you respond? I cry out to you [for help], saying that [people are acting] violently [everywhere], but you do not rescue us!
Rabbiyow, ilaa goormaan kuu qayshadaa, oo adna aadan i maqlayn? Dulmi baan kaaga qayshadaa, oo namana aad badbaadisid.
3 (Must I/I do not want to) continue seeing people doing what is unjust [RHQ]. Why do you not punish people who are doing what is wrong [RHQ]? I see people destroying things and [acting] violently. There is fighting and quarreling [everywhere].
Bal maxaad xumaan ii tustaa oo aad qallooc iigu jeedisaa? Waayo, waxaa hortayda yaal halligaad iyo dulmi, oo waxaa kor u kaca dirir iyo dagaal.
4 No one obeys laws [PRS], and judges [PRS] never do what is fair/just. Wicked people always defeat righteous people [in the courts], with the result that matters are never decided fairly/justly.”
Sidaas daraaddeed sharcigii waa dabcay oo caddaaladduna hore uma socoto, waayo, kii sharrow ah ayaa hareereeya kii xaq ah, oo sidaas daraaddeed garsooridda waa la qalloociyaa.
5 [Yahweh replied to me, ] “[I know that what you say is true, but] look around at [what is happening in] the other nations; [if you look, ] you will be amazed, because I am doing something during this time that you would not believe [would happen], even if someone told you about it.
Bal eega quruumaha dhexdooda, ka fiirsada oo aad u yaaba, waayo, maalmihiinnii waxaan samaynayaa shuqul aydaan rumaysan doonin in kastoo laydiin sheego.
6 The soldiers of Babylonia are fierce/cruel and swift. And now I am causing them [to become very powerful]; they will march across the world and conquer [many] other countries.
Waayo, bal eega, waxaan soo kicinayaa reer Kaldayiin oo ah quruuntaas qadhaadh oo degdegga badan oo dhulka ballaadhkiisa mara inay hantiyaan meelo la dego oo ayan iyagu lahayn.
7 They are people whom [others] fear very much [DOU], and they do whatever they want to, paying no attention to the laws of other countries.
Iyagu waa kuwa laga cabsado oo aad looga baqo; xukunkooda iyo sharaftoodu iyagay ka soo baxaan.
8 The horses [that pull their chariots] go faster than leopards, and they are fiercer than wolves are in the evening. The horses on which the soldiers ride gallop swiftly; the soldiers riding them come from distant places. They are like [SIM] eagles that swoop down to [snatch and] kill small animals.
Fardahoodu way ka sii dheereeyaan shabeelka, oo way ka sii cabsi badan yihiin yeyda fiidka, oo fardooleydooduna way iskala bixiyaan, haah, oo fardooleydooduna meel fog bay ka yimaadaan, oo waxay u soo duulaan sida gorgor u soo degdegaya inuu wax dhufsado oo cuno.
9 As they ride along, [they are] determined to act violently. They advance like [SIM] a wind from the desert, gathering prisoners that are as [numerous as grains of] sand.
Dhammaantood waxay u yimaadaan inay wax xoogaan, oo damaca wejigooduna waa sida dabaysha bari, oo waxay urursadaan maxaabiis sida cammuudda u badan.
10 They make fun of kings and princes [of other countries], and they ridicule all the cities that have high walls around them. They pile dirt [outside those walls] [in order to climb up] and capture those cities.
Cadowgu boqorro wuu quudhsadaa, oo amiirrona wuu fududaystaa, oo qalcad kastana wuu ku qoslaa, waayo, intuu ciid tuulaa ayuu iska qabsadaa.
11 They rush past like the wind, and then they go [to attack other cities]. But they are very guilty, because [they think that] their own power is their god.”
Markaas sida dabayl buu u dhaafi doonaa, oo wuu sii gudbi doonaa, oo dembi buu lahaan doonaa kan xooggiisu ilaah u yahay.
12 [Then I said, ] “Yahweh, you have certainly [RHQ] always/forever been God. You are my Holy One; you will not die. So [why] have you appointed those men [from Babylonia] to judge and get rid of [us]? You are like [MET] a huge rock [under which we are protected/safe], so why have you sent them to punish us?
Rabbiyow, Ilaahaygiiyow, kayga Quduuska ahow, sow adigu weligaaba ma aad jiri jirin? Annagu dhiman mayno. Rabbiyow, isaga waxaad u diyaarisay xukun, oo waxaad u xoogaysay edbin, kaaga Dhagaxa weyn ahow.
13 You [SYN] are pure, and you cannot endure looking at what is evil, [so why] are you ignoring men who are treacherous? Why do you do nothing [to punish] those wicked men [from Babylonia] who destroy people who are more righteous than they [are]?
Waxaad tahay mid indhihiisu ka sii daahirsan yihiin inay wax shar ah eegaan, oo qalloocna ma fiirin kartid, haddaba bal maxaad u fiirisaa kuwa khiyaanada sameeya? Oo maxaad u aamusan tahay marka sharrowgu liqo ninka isaga ka sii xaq yahay?
14 [Do you consider that] we are like fish in the sea, or like other creatures in the sea, that have no ruler?
Oo maxaad dadka uga dhigtaa sida kalluunka badda, iyo sida waxa gurguurta oo aan lahayn mid iyaga u taliya?
15 [The soldiers of Babylonia think that we are fish] [RHQ] for them to pull out of the sea with hooks or to catch in their nets, while they rejoice and celebrate.
Isagu dhammaantood ayuu jillaab ku soo qaataa, oo shabaggiisuu ku soo qabsadaa, oo intuu shabaggiisa ku soo wada urursado ayuu soo jiitaa, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed wuu reyreeyaa oo farxaa.
16 If they catch us, they will [worship] their weapons [MET] with which they captured us, and offer sacrifices to them and burn incense in front of them! [They will say] ‘Those weapons have enabled us to become rich and be able to eat expensive food.’
Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed allabari buu u bixiyaa shabaggiisa, oo fooxna wuu u shidaa shabagguu jiita, maxaa yeelay, iyaga ayaa qaybtiisii ku barwaaqowday, oo quudkiisiina aad iyo aad batay.
17 [Will you allow] them to continue [to conquer people] [MET] forever? [Will you allow] them to destroy people of other nations without their being merciful [to anyone]?”
Haddaba miyuu shabaggiisa madhin doonaa, oo miyuu quruumaha had iyo goorba layn doonaa, isagoo aan u tudhin?
