< ハバクク書 3 >

1 シギヨノテに合せて歌へる預言者ハバククの祈禱
A prayer of Habakkuk, the prophet, set to victorious music.
2 ヱホバよ我なんぢの宣ふ所を聞て懼る ヱホバよこの諸の年の中間に汝の運動を活齑かせたまへ 此諸の年の間に之を顯現したまへ 怒る時にも憐憫を忘れ給はざれ
YHWH, I have heard of your fame. I stand in awe of your deeds, YHWH. Renew your work in the midst of the years. In the midst of the years make it known. In wrath, you remember mercy.
3 神テマンより來り聖者パラン山より臨みたまふ (セラ) 其榮光諸天を蔽ひ其讃美世界に徧ねし
God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. (Selah) His glory covered the heavens, and his praise filled the earth.
4 その朗耀は日のごとく光線その手より出づ 彼處はその權能の隱るる所なり
His splendor is like the sunrise. Rays shine from his hand, where his power is hidden.
5 疫病その前に先だち行き熱病その足下より出づ
Plague went before him, and pestilence followed his feet.
6 彼立て地を震はせ觀まはして萬國を戰慄しめたまふ 永久の山は崩れ常磐の岡は陷る 彼の行ひたまふ道は永久なり
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.
7 我觀るにクシヤンの天幕は艱難に罹りミデアンの地の幃幕は震ふ
I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction. The dwellings of the land of Midian trembled.
8 ヱホバよ汝は馬を驅り汝の拯救の車に乗りたまふ 是河にむかひて怒りたまふなるか 河にむかひて汝の忿怒を發したまふなるか 海にむかひて汝の憤恨を洩し給ふなるか
Was YHWH 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?
9 汝の弓は全く嚢を出で杖は言をもて言かためらる (セラ) 汝は地を裂て河となし給ふ
You uncovered your bow. You called for your sworn arrows. (Selah) You split the earth with rivers.
10 山々汝を見て震ひ洪水溢れわたり淵聲を出してその手を高く擧ぐ
The mountains saw you, and were afraid. The storm of waters passed by. The deep roared and lifted up its hands on high.
11 汝の奔る矢の光のため汝の鎗の電光のごとき閃燦のために日月その住處に立とどまる
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.
12 汝は憤ほりて地を行めぐり 怒りて國民を踏つけ給ふ
You marched through the land in wrath. You threshed the nations in anger.
13 汝は汝の民を救んとて出きたり 汝の膏沃げる者を救はんとて臨みたまふ 汝は惡き者の家の頭を碎きその石礎を露はして頸におよぼし給へり (セラ)
You went forth 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)
14 汝は彼の鎗をもてその將帥の首を刺とほし給ふ 彼らは我を散さんとて大風のごとくに進みきたる 彼らは貧き者を密に呑ほろぼす事をもてその樂とす
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.
15 汝は汝の馬をもて海を乗とほり大水の逆卷ところを渉りたまふ
You trampled the sea with your horses, churning mighty waters.
16 我聞て膓を斷つ 我唇その聲によりて震ふ 腐朽わが骨に入り我下體わななく 其は我患難の日の來るを待ばなり 其時には即ち此民に攻寄る者ありて之に押逼らん
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.
17 その時には無花果の樹は花咲ず葡萄の樹には果ならず 橄欖の樹の產は空くなり 田圃は食糧を出さず圏には羊絶え小屋には牛なかるべし
For though the fig tree doesn't flourish, nor fruit be in the vines; the labor 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:
18 然ながら我はヱホバによりて樂み わが拯救の神によりて喜ばん
yet I will rejoice in YHWH. I will be joyful in the God of my salvation.
19 主ヱホバは我力にして我足を鹿の如くならしめ 我をして我高き處を歩ましめ給ふ 伶長これを我琴にあはすべし
YHWH 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.
