< Habakkuk 3 >

1 A prayer of Habakkuk, the prophet, set to victorious music.
哈巴谷的禱詞。調寄「流離之歌。」
2 LORD, I have heard of your fame. I stand in awe of your deeds, LORD. Renew your work in the middle of the years. In the middle of the years make it known. In wrath, you remember mercy.
上主,我聽到了你的報道;上主,我見到你的作為;求你在歲月的過程中,彰顯你的作為,求你在歲月的過程中,宣佈出來! 但願你發怒時,也懷念仁慈。
3 God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. (Selah) His glory covered the heavens, and his praise filled the earth.
天主自特曼而來,聖者由帕蘭山而至(休止);衪的威嚴遮蓋諸天,衪的榮耀充滿地。
4 His splendour is like the sunrise. Rays shine from his hand, where his power is hidden.
衪的光輝明輝如日;衪手中射出的光芒,蘊藏著衪的威能。
5 Plague went before him, and pestilence followed his feet.
瘟疾在衪面前開路,熱症隨衪的足後。
6 He stood, and shook the earth. He looked, and made the nations tremble. The ancient mountains were crumbled. The age-old hills collapsed. His ways are eternal.
衪一停立,大地就動搖;衪一注視,萬民就戰慄;太古的山嶽崩裂,久遠的丘陵沉沒;衪自永遠即在其上行走。
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction. The dwellings of the land of Midian trembled.
我曾見雇商的帳幕恐慌,米德揚的帳幕震勫。
8 Was the LORD displeased with the rivers? Was your anger against the rivers, or your wrath against the sea, that you rode on your horses, on your chariots of salvation?
上主! 當你騎著馬,乘著凱旋車時,是否是向河流發怒﹖或是向海洋洩憤﹖
9 You uncovered your bow. You called for your sworn arrows. (Selah) You split the earth with rivers.
你抽出了你的弓弩,囊中裝滿了箭羽(休止);你劈地成河,
10 The mountains saw you, and were afraid. The storm of waters passed by. The deep roared and lifted up its hands on high.
叢山見你而戰慄;驟雨由雲中降下,深潚發出巨響,太陽齔了昇起,
11 The sun and moon stood still in the sky at the light of your arrows as they went, at the shining of your glittering spear.
月亮停於居所:這是因了你放射箭羽的光芒,你槍矛閃爍的光亮。
12 You marched through the land in wrath. You threshed the nations in anger.
你懷怒踏遍大地,含恨蹂躝了萬邦。
13 You went out for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of your anointed. You crushed the head of the land of wickedness. You stripped them head to foot. (Selah)
你出征是為了你的百姓,是為了你的受傅者;你折毀了惡人的屋頂,使屋基露出,直到磐石(休止)
14 You pierced the heads of his warriors with their own spears. They came as a whirlwind to scatter me, gloating as if to devour the wretched in secret.
你用箭他戰士的頭,因為他們衝來要驅散我們,且高興的有如在暗中吞食貧民的人。
15 You trampled the sea with your horses, churning mighty waters.
你卻將他的戰馬投入深海,投入多水的沼澤中。
16 I heard, and my body trembled. My lips quivered at the voice. Rottenness enters into my bones, and I tremble in my place because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, for the coming up of the people who invade us.
我一聽見,我的我的臟腑發抖;對此消息,我的口脣打顫;痲痺侵入 下骨骸,我的步伐在我下面已零亂。我在靜待那因難的日子,因為那日子必要臨於進攻我們的民族身上。
17 For even though the fig tree doesn’t flourish, nor fruit be in the vines, the labour of the olive fails, the fields yield no food, the flocks are cut off from the fold, and there is no herd in the stalls,
縱然無花果樹不發芽,葡萄樹不結實,橄欖樹一無所產,麥田不出產食糧,羊棧內沒有羊,牛欄中沒有牛,
18 yet I will rejoice in the LORD. I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!
我仍然喜樂於上主,歡欣於我的救主天主。
19 GOD, the Lord, is my strength. He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and enables me to go in high places. For the music director, on my stringed instruments.
我主上主是我的力量,衪使我的腳有如鹿腳,引我在高處步行。──交於樂官,和以絃樂。
