G1473   G1752 Because of G3778 this G2165 he shall be glad G2532 and G5463 shall rejoice.

  1 H4853 The burden H2265 which Habakkuk H5030 the prophet H2372 [H8804] envisioned.
  2 H3068 O LORD, H7768 [H8765] how long shall I halloo, H8085 [H8799] and thou wilt not hear! H2199 [H8799] even cry out H2555 to thee of violence, H3467 [H8686] and thou wilt not liberate!
  3 H7200 [H8686] Why dost thou show H205 me nothingness, H5027 [H8686] and cause me to behold H5999 toil? H7701 for plundering H2555 and violence H5375 [H8799] are before me: and there are that raise H7379 strife H4066 and contention.
  4 H8451 Therefore the law H6313 [H8799] is feeble, H4941 and judgment H5331 doth never H3318 [H8799] go forth: H7563 for the wicked H3803 [H8688] doth surround H6662 the righteous; H4941 therefore judgment H3318 [H8799] goeth forth H6127 [H8794] perverted
  5 H7200 [H8798] Behold H1471 ye among the nations, H5027 [H8685] and regard, H8539 [H8690] and wonder H8539 [H8798] marvellously: H6466 [H8802] for I will work H6467 a work H3117 in your days, H539 [H8686] which ye will not believe, H5608 [H8792] though it be told you.
  6 H6965 [H8688] For, lo, I raise up H3778 the Chaldeans, H4751 that bitter H4116 [H8737] and hasty H1471 nation, H1980 [H8802] which shall march H4800 through the breadth H776 of the land, H3423 [H8800] to possess H4908 the dwellingplaces that are not theirs.
  7 H366 They are terrible H3372 [H8737] and dreadful: H4941 their judgment H7613 and their dignity H3318 [H8799] shall proceed from themselves.
  8 H5483 Their horses H7043 [H8804] also are swifter H5246 than the leopards, H2300 [H8804] and are more sharp H6153 than the evening H2061 wolves: H6571 and their horsemen H6335 [H8804] shall spread H6571 themselves, and their horsemen H935 [H8799] shall come H7350 from far; H5774 [H8799] they shall fly H5404 as the eagle H2363 [H8804] that hasteth H398 [H8800] to eat.
  9 H935 [H8799] They shall come H2555 all for violence: H6440 their faces H4041 shall sup up H6921 as the east wind, H622 [H8799] and they shall gather H7628 the captives H2344 as the sand.
  10 H7046 [H8691] And they shall scoff H4428 at the kings, H7336 [H8802] and the princes H4890 shall be a laughingstock H7832 [H8799] to them: they shall laugh at H3605 every H4013 strong hold; H6651 [H8799] for they shall heap H6083 dust, H3920 [H8799] and take it.
  11 H7307 Then shall his spirit H2498 [H8804] change, H5674 [H8799] and he shall pass over, H816 [H8804] and be guilty, H2098 imputing this H3581 his power H433 to his god.
  12 H6924 Art thou not from everlasting, H3068 O LORD H430 my God, H6918 my Holy One? H4191 [H8799] we shall not die. H3068 O LORD, H7760 [H8804] thou hast ordained H4941 them for judgment; H6697 and, O Rock, H3245 [H8804] thou hast established H3198 [H8687] them for correction.
  13 H2889 Thou art of purer H5869 eyes H7200 [H8800] than to behold H7451 evil, H3201 [H8799] and canst H5027 [H8687] not look H5999 on toil: H5027 [H8686] why lookest H898 [H8802] thou on them that deal treacherously, H2790 [H8686] and keepest silence H7563 when the wicked H1104 [H8763] swalloweth up H6662 the man that is more righteous than he?
  14 H6213 [H8799] And makest H120 men H1709 as the fishes H3220 of the sea, H7431 as the creeping things, H4910 [H8802] that have no ruler over them?
  15 H5927 [H8689] They take up H2443 all of them with the hook, H1641 [H8799] they catch H2764 them in their net, H622 [H8799] and gather H4365 them in their drag: H8055 [H8799] therefore they rejoice H1523 [H8799] and are glad.
  16 H2076 [H8762] Therefore they sacrifice H2764 to their net, H6999 [H8762] and burn incense H4365 to their drag; H1992 because by them H2506 their portion H8082 is fat, H3978 and their food H1277 plenteous.
  17 H7324 [H8686] Shall they therefore empty H2764 their net, H2550 [H8799] and not spare H8548 continually H2026 [H8800] to slay H1471 the nations?

Clementine_Vulgate(i) 1 Onus quod vidit Habacuc propheta. 2 [Usquequo, Domine, clamabo, et non exaudies? vociferabor ad te, vim patiens, et non salvabis? 3 Quare ostendisti mihi iniquitatem et laborem, videre prædam et injustitiam contra me? Et factum est judicium, et contradictio potentior. 4 Propter hoc lacerata est lex, et non pervenit usque ad finem judicium; quia impius prævalet adversus justum, propterea egreditur judicium perversum. 5 Aspicite in gentibus, et videte; admiramini, et obstupescite: quia opus factum est in diebus vestris, quod nemo credet cum narrabitur. 6 Quia ecce ego suscitabo Chaldæos, gentem amaram et velocem, ambulantem super latitudinem terræ, ut possideat tabernacula non sua. 7 Horribilis et terribilis est: ex semetipsa judicium et onus ejus egredietur. 8 Leviores pardis equi ejus, et velociores lupis vespertinis: et diffundentur equites ejus: equites namque ejus de longe venient; volabunt quasi aquila festinans ad comedendum. 9 Omnes ad prædam venient, facies eorum ventus urens; et congregabit quasi arenam captivitatem. 10 Et ipse de regibus triumphabit, et tyranni ridiculi ejus erunt; ipse super omnem munitionem ridebit, et comportabit aggerem, et capiet eam. 11 Tunc mutabitur spiritus, et pertransibit, et corruet: hæc est fortitudo ejus dei sui.] 12 [Numquid non tu a principio, Domine, Deus meus, sancte meus, et non moriemur? Domine, in judicium posuisti eum, et fortem, ut corriperes, fundasti eum. 13 Mundi sunt oculi tui, ne videas malum, et respicere ad iniquitatem non poteris. Quare respicis super iniqua agentes, et taces devorante impio justiorem se? 14 Et facies homines quasi pisces maris, et quasi reptile non habens principem. 15 Totum in hamo sublevavit, traxit illud in sagena sua, et congregavit in rete suum. Super hoc lætabitur, et exsultabit. 16 Propterea immolabit sagenæ suæ, et sacrificabit reti suo, quia in ipsis incrassata est pars ejus, et cibus ejus electus. 17 Propter hoc ergo expandit sagenam suam, et semper interficere gentes non parcet.]
Wycliffe(i) 1 The birthun that Abacuk, the profete, sai. 2 Hou longe, Lord, schal Y crye, and thou schalt not here? Y suffrynge violence schal crie an hiy to thee, and thou schalt not saue? 3 Whi schewidist thou to me wickidnesse and trauel, for to se prey and vnriytwisnesse ayens me? Whi biholdist thou dispiseris, and art stille, the while an vnpitouse man defoulith a riytfulere than hym silf? And thou schalt make men as fischis of the see, and as crepynge thingis not hauynge a ledere; and doom is maad, and ayenseiyng is more miyti. 4 For this thing lawe is `to-brokun, and doom cometh not til to the ende; for the vnpitouse man hath miyt ayens the iust, therfor weiward doom schal go out. 5 Biholde ye in hethene men, and se ye, and wondre ye, and greetli drede ye; for a werk is doon in youre daies, which no man schal bileue, whanne it schal be teld. 6 For lo! Y schal reise Caldeis, a bittir folk and swift, goynge on the breede of erthe, that he welde tabernaclis not hise. 7 It is orible, and dredeful; the dom and birthun therof schal go out of it silf. 8 His horsis ben liytere than pardis, and swifter than euentyd woluys, and hise horse men schulen be scaterid abrood; for whi `horse men schulen come fro fer, thei schulen fle as an egle hastynge to ete. 9 Alle men schulen come to preye, the faces of hem is as a brennynge wynd; and he schal gadere as grauel caitifte, 10 and he schal haue victorie of kyngis, and tirauntis schulen be of his scornyng. He schal leiye on al strengthe, and schal bere togidere heep of erthe, and schal take it. 11 Thanne the spirit schal be chaungid, and he schal passe forth, and falle doun; this is the strengthe of hym, of his god. 12 Whether `thou, Lord, art not my God, myn hooli, and we schulen not die? Lord, in to doom thou hast set hym, and thou groundidist hym strong, that thou schuldist chastise. 13 Thin iyen ben clene, se thou not yuel, and thou schalt not mowe biholde to wickidnesse. Whi biholdist thou not on men doynge wickidli, and thou art stille, while the vnpitouse man deuourith a more iust man than hymsilf? 14 And thou schalt make men as fischis of the see, and as a crepynge thing not hauynge prince. 15 He schal lifte vp al in the hook; he drawide it in his greet net, and gaderide in to his net; on this thing he schal be glad, and make ioie with outforth. 16 Therfore he schal offere to his greet net, and schal make sacrifice to his net; for in hem his part is maad fat, and his mete is chosun. 17 Therfor for this thing he spredith abrood his greet net, and euere more he ceesith not for to sle folkis.
Coverdale(i) 1 This is the heuy burthe, which the prophet Abacuc dyd se. 2 O LORDE, how longe shal I crie, & thou wilt not heare? How longe shall I complayne vnto the, suffrynge wronge, and thou wilt not helpe? 3 Why lettest thou me se weerynesse and laboure? Tyrany and violence are before me, power ouergoeth right: 4 for the lawe is torne in peces, and there can no right iudgment go forth. And why? the vngodly is more set by then the rightuous: this is the cause, yt wronge iudgment procedeth. 5 Beholde amonge the Heithen, and loke wel: wondre at it, and be aba?shed: for I wil do a thinge in youre tyme, which though it be tolde you, ye shal not beleue. 6 For lo, I wil rase vp ye Caldees, that bytter and swifte people: which shal go as wyde as the londe is, to take possession of dwellinge places, that be not their owne. 7 A grymme & boysteous people is it, these shal syt in iudgment & punyshe. 8 Their horses are swifter then the cattes of the mountayne, & byte sorer then ye wolues in ye euenynge. Their horsmen come by greate heapes from farre, they fle hastely to deuor as the Aegle. 9 They come all to spoyle: out of them commeth an east wynde, which bloweth and gathereth their captyues, like as the sonde. 10 They shall mocke the kinges, and laugh the prynces to scorne. They shal not set by eny stronge holde, for they shal laye ordinaunce agaynst it, and take it. 11 Then shal they take a fresh corage vnto them, to go forth & to do more euell, & so ascrybe that power vnto their God. 12 But thou o LORDE my God, my holy one, thou art from the begynnynge, therfore shal we not dye. O LORDE, thou hast ordened them for a punyshmet, and set them to reproue the mightie. 13 Thine eyes are clene, thou mayest not se euell, thou canst not beholde ye thinge that is wicked. Wherfore then dost thou loke vpon the vngodly, and holdest thy tunge, when the wicked deuoureth the man that is better the himself? 14 Thou makest men as the fish in the see, and like as the crepinge beestes, that haue no gyde. 15 They take vp all with their angle, they catch it in their net, & gather it in their yarne: wherof they reioyce and are glad. 16 Therfore offre they vnto their net, and do sacrifice vnto their yarne: because that thorow it their porcion is become so fat, and their meate so pleteous. 17 Wherfore they cast out their net agayne, & neuer ceasse to slaye the people.
MSTC(i) 1 This is the heavy burden, which the Prophet Habakkuk did see. 2 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear? How long shall I complain unto thee, suffering wrong, and thou wilt not help? 3 Why lettest thou me see weariness and labour? Tyranny and violence are before me, power overgoeth right: 4 for the law is torn in pieces, and there can no right judgment go forth. And why? The ungodly is more set by than the righteous: this is the cause that wrong judgment proceedeth. 5 Behold among the Heathen, and look well: wonder at it, and be abashed: For I will do a thing in your time, which though it be told you, ye shall not believe. 6 For lo, I will raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and swift people: which shall go as wide as the land is, to take possession of dwelling places that be not their own. 7 A grim and boisterous people is it, these shall sit in judgment and punish. 8 Their horses are swifter than the cats of the mountain, and bite sorer than the wolves in the evening. Their horsemen come by great heaps from far, they flee hastily to devour as the Eagle. 9 They come all to spoil: out of them cometh an east wind, which bloweth and gathereth their captives, like as the sand. 10 They shall mock the kings, and laugh the princes to scorn. They shall not set by any strong hold, for they shall lay ordinance against it, and take it. 11 Then shall they take a fresh courage unto them, to go forth and do more evil, and so ascribe that power unto their God. 12 But thou, O LORD my God, my holy one: thou art from the beginning, therefore shall we not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for punishment, and set them to reprove the mighty. 13 Thine eyes are clean, thou mayest not see evil, thou cannot behold the thing that is wicked. Wherefore then doest thou look upon the ungodly, and holdest thy tongue, when the wicked devoureth the man that is better than himself? 14 Thou makest men as the fish in the sea, and like as the creeping beasts, that have no guide. 15 They take up all with their angle, they catch it in their net, and gather it in their yarn: whereof they rejoice and are glad. 16 Therefore offer they unto their net, and do sacrifice unto their yarn: because that through it their portions is become so fat, and their meat so plenteous. 17 Wherefore they cast out their net again, and never cease to slay the people.
Matthew(i) 1 This is the heauye burthen, whiche the Prophet Abacuc did se. 2 O lord how long shal I crye, and thou wilt not heare? How long shal I complayn vnto the, sufferynge wrong, & thou wilte not helpe? 3 Why lettest thou me se weerynesse and laboure? Tyranny & vyolence are before me, power ouergoeth righte: 4 for the lawe is toarne in peces, and there can no ryghte iudgemente go forthe. And why? the vngodly is more set by then the rightuous: this is the cause, that wronge iudgemente procedeth. 5 Beholde, amonge the Heathen, & loke well: wondre at it, and be abashed: for I wyll do a thynge in youre tyme, whiche thoughe it be tolde you, ye shall not beleue. 6 For lo, I wyll rase vp the Caldees, that bitter and swifte people: whiche shall go as wyde as the land is, to take possessyon of dwellyng places, that be not theyr owne. 7 A grymme and boysteours people is it, these shall sit in iudgement, and punish. 8 Their horses are swifter then the cattes of the mountayne, & byte sorer then the wolues in the euenynge. Theyr horsmen come by greate heapes from farre, they fle hastely to deuour as the Aegle. 9 They come all to spoyle: oute of them commeth an easte wynde, whiche bloweth and gathereth theyr captyues, lyke as the sande. 10 They shall mocke the kynges, and laughe the princes to scorne. They shal not set by any stronge holde, for they shall laye ordynaunce agaynst it, and take it. 11 Then shall they take a freshe courage vnto them, to go forth, and to do more euil, & so ascrybe that power vnto theyr God. 12 But thou O Lorde my God, my holy one thou arte from the begynnynge, therfor shall we not dye. O Lorde, thou hast ordened them for a punyshment, and set them to reproue the myghtye. 13 Thyne eyes are clene, thou mayest not se euyll, thou canst not beholde the thynge that is wycked. Wherfor then doest thou loke vpon the vngodly, and holdest thy tung, when the wycked deuoureth the man that is better then hym selfe? 14 Thou makest men as the fysh in the sea, and lyke as the crepynge beastes that haue no gyde. 15 They take vp all with theyr angle, they catche it in theyr net, and gather it in theyr yarne: whereof they reioyce, and are glad, 16 Therfore offre they vnto theyr net, and do sacryfyce vnto theyr yarne: because that thorowe it theyr porcyon is become so fat, & theyr meate so plenteous. 17 Wherfore they cast oute theyr net agayne, and neuer cease to slaye the people.
Great(i) 1 This is the heuy burthen, which the Prophet Abacuk dyd se. 2 O Lorde, how longe shall I crie, & thou wylt not heare? How longe shall I complayne vnto the, suffrynge wronge, & thou wylt not helpe? 3 Why lettest thou me se werynesse and laboure? Tyranny & violence are before me, power ouergoeth right: 4 for the lawe is toarne in peces, & there can not right iudgement go forth And why? the vngodly is more set by then the ryghtuous: this is the cause, that wronge iudgement procedeth. 5 Beholde, amonge the Heathen, and loke well, wondre at it, and be abashed: for I wyll do a thynge in your tyme, whych though it be tolde you, ye shall not beleue. 6 For lo, I wil rayse vp the Caldees, that bitter and swyfte people: which shall go as wyde as the land is, to take possession of dwelling places, that be not their awne. 7 A grymme and boysterous people is it, these shall sit in iudgement & punishe. 8 Their horses are swyfter then the cattes of the mountayne, & byte sorer then the wolues in the euening. Their horsemen come by greate heapes from farre, they fle hastely to deuour as the Aegle. 9 They come all to spoyle: out of them commeth an east wynde, whych bloweth and gathereth their captiues, lyke as the sande. 10 They shal mocke the kynges, and laughe the princes to scorne. They shall not set by eny stronge holde, for they shall laye ordinaunce agaynst it, and take it. 11 Then shall they take a fresh corage vnto them, to go forth & to do more euel, and so ascribe the power vnto their God. 12 But thou O Lorde my God my holy one, thou art from the begynninge, therfore shal we not dye. O Lord, thou hast ordened them for a punishement, and sett them to reproue the myghtye. 13 Thyne eyes are clene, thou mayest not se euel, thou canst not beholde, the thinge that is wycked. Wherfore then dost thou loke vpon the vngodly, and holdest thy tunge, when the wycked deuoureth the man that is better then him selfe? 14 Thou makest men as the fishe in the see, and lyke as the crepyng beastes, that haue no gyde, 15 they take vp all with their angle, they catch it in their net, & gather it in their yarne: wherof they reioice and are glad. 16 Therfore offre they vnto their net, & do sacrifice vnto their yarne: because that thorowe it their porcyon is become so fat, & their meate so plenteous. 17 Wherfore, they cast out their net agayne, & neuer cease to slaye the people.
Geneva(i) 1 The burden, which Habakkuk the Prophet did see. 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! 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. 4 Therefore the Lawe is dissolued, and iudgement doeth neuer go forth: for the wicked doeth compasse about the righteous: therefore wrong iudgement proceedeth. 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. 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. 7 They are terrible and fearefull: their iudgement and their dignitie shall proceede of theselues. 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. 9 They come all to spoyle: before their faces shalbe an Eastwinde, and they shall gather the captiuitie, as the sand. 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. 11 Then shall they take a courage, and transgresse and doe wickedly, imputing this their power vnto their god. 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. 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? 14 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, and as the creeping things, that haue no ruler ouer them. 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. 16 Therefore they sacrifice vnto their net, and burne incense vnto their yarne, because by them their portion is fat and their meat plenteous. 17 Shall they therefore stretch out their net and not spare continually to slay the nations?

DouayRheims(i) 1 The burden that Habacuc the prophet saw. 2 How long, O Lord, shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear? shall I cry out to thee suffering violence, and thou wilt not save? 3 Why hast thou shewn me iniquity and grievance, to see rapine and injustice before me? and there is a judgment, but opposition is more powerful. 4 Therefore the law is torn in pieces, and judgment cometh not to the end: because the wicked prevaileth against the just, therefore wrong judgment goeth forth. 5 Behold ye among the nations, and see: wonder, and be astonished: for a work is done in your days, which no man will believe when it shall be told. 6 For behold, I will raise up the Chaldeans, a bitter and swift nation, marching upon the breadth of the earth, to possess the dwelling places that are not their own. 7 They are dreadful, and terrible: from themselves shall their judgment, and their burden proceed. 8 Their horses are lighter than leopards, and swifter than evening wolves; and their horsemen shall be spread abroad: for their horsemen shall come from afar, they shall fly as an eagle that maketh haste to eat. 9 They shall all come to the prey, their face is like a burning wind: and they shall gather together captives as the sand. 10 And their prince shall triumph over kings, and princes shall be his laughingstock: and he shall laugh at every strong hold, and shall cast up a mount, and shall take it. 11 Then shall his spirit be changed, and he shall pass, and fall: this is his strength of his god. 12 Wast thou not from the beginning, O Lord my God, my holy one, and we shall not die? Lord, thou hast appointed him for judgment: and made him strong for correction. 13 Thy eyes are too pure to behold evil, and thou canst not look on iniquity. Why lookest thou upon them that do unjust things, and holdest thy peace when the wicked devoureth the man that is more just than himself? 14 And thou wilt make men as the fishes of the sea, and as the creeping things that have no ruler. 15 He lifted up all them with his hook, he drew them in his drag, and gathered them into his net: for this he will be glad and rejoice. 16 Therefore will he offer victims to his drag, and he will sacrifice to his net: because through them his portion is made fat, and his meat dainty. 17 For this cause therefore he spreadeth his net, and will not spare continually to slay the nations.

  4 H8451 Therefore the law H6313 is slacked [H8799]   H4941 , and judgment H5331 doth never H3318 go forth [H8799]   H7563 : for the wicked H3803 doth compass [H8688]   H6662 about the righteous H6127 ; therefore wrong [H8794]   H4941 judgment H3318 proceedeth [H8799]  .

Thomson(i) 1 The vision which Ambakum the prophet saw. 2 [p] How long, O Lord shall I cry, and thou not hearken? How long shall I being injured cry to thee, and thou not save? 3 Why hast thou pointed out to me to behold labours and sorrows, misery and impiety? A suit is instituted against me and the judge receiveth [bribes] 4 therefore law is disregarded and the cause is not brought to an issue. Because a wicked man oppresseth the just, therefore wrong judgment will be given. 5 [J] See ye despisers! and view intently and be amazed at wonderful things and vanish. For in your days I am doing a work which you will not believe though one tell you. 6 For lo! I am raising up the Chaldeans that bitter and hasty nation, which marcheth over the breadth of the earth, to possess dwellings which belong not to them. 7 He is terrible and illustrious; his judgment will be from himself, and from himself his prophesy will proceed. 8 His horses can out leap leopards and are swifter than the lynxes of Arabia. When his horsemen have mounted, they will rush impetuously from afar, and will fly like an eagle, eager for prey. 9 Destruction will come on the wicked who set themselves against him; and he will gather captives like the sand. 10 He indeed will riot in kings; and petty princes will be his scorn. Of every fortress he will make a scoff and will raise a mount and take it. 11 Then he will change his mind and depart and be pacified. [p] This is the majesty which belongeth to my God. 12 Art not thou from everlasting? Lord, my God, my Holy One! let us not die. Thou, Lord, hast appointed this for judgment: and formed it that its correction may work conviction in me. 13 Thine eye is too pure to behold wicked deeds, or to look on the labours of sorrow. Why lookest thou upon despisers? Wilt thou be silent when the wicked swallow up the righteous? 14 Wilt thou make these men like the fishes of the sea, and like those reptiles which have no leader? 15 He hath drawn up destruction with a hook, and hath dragged out one with a dredge, and enclosed another with his sweep net. For this cause he will rejoice and his heart will be glad; 16 therefore he will sacrifice to his net and burn incense to his dredge. Because by these he made his mess rich and his food delicious, 17 shall he on the account of this cast his dredge, and not spare to slay nations continually?

We shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction. 13 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: why lookest thou on them that deal treacherously, and keepest silence when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he? 14 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping animals that have no ruler over them? 15 They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad. 16 Therefore they sacrifice to their net, and burn incense to their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their food plenteous. 17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?

Brenton(i) 1 The burden which the prophet Ambacum saw. 2 How long, O Lord, shall I cry out, and thou wilt not hearken? how long shall I cry out to thee being injured, and thou wilt not save? 3 Wherefore hast thou shown me troubles and griefs to look upon, misery and ungodliness? judgment is before me, and the judge receives a reward. 4 Therefore the law is frustrated, and judgment proceeds not effectually, for the ungodly man prevails over the just; therefore perverse judgment will proceed. 5 Behold, ye despisers, and look, and wonder marvelously, and vanish: for I work a work in your days, which ye will in no wise believe, though a man declare it to you. 6 Wherefore, behold, I stir up the Chaldeans, the bitter and hasty nation, that walks upon the breadth of the earth, to inherit tabernacles not his own. 7 He is terrible and famous; his judgment shall proceed of himself, and his dignity shall come out of himself. 8 And his horses shall bound more swiftly than leopards, and they are fiercer than the wolves of Arabia: and his horsemen shall ride forth, and shall rush from far; and they shall fly as an eagle hasting to eat. 9 Destruction shall come upon ungodly men, resisting with their adverse front, and he shall gather the captivity as the sand. 10 And he shall be at his ease with kings, and princes are his toys, and he shall mock at every strong-hold, and shall cast a mound, and take possession of it. 11 Then shall he change his spirit, and he shall pass through, and make an atonement, saying, This strength belongs to my god. 12 Art not thou from the beginning, O Lord God, my Holy One? and surely we shall not die. O Lord, thou hast established it for judgment, and he has formed me to chasten with his correction. 13 His eye is too pure to behold evil doings, and to look upon grievous afflictions: wherefore dost thou look upon despisers? wilt thou be silent when the ungodly swallows up the just? 14 And wilt thou make men as the fishes of the sea, and as the reptiles which have no guide? 15 He has brought up destruction with a hook, and drawn one with a casting net, and caught another in his drags: therefore shall his heart rejoice and be glad. 16 Therefore will he sacrifice to his drag, and burn incense to his casting-net, because by them he has made his portion fat, and his meats choice. 17 Therefore will he cast his net, and will not spare to slay the nations continually.

Leeser(i) 1 The prophecy which Habakkuk the prophet foresaw. 2 How long, O Lord, have I entreated thee, and thou wouldst not hear? how long shall I cry out unto thee because of violence, and thou wilt not save? 3 Why wilt thou let me see wickedness, and wilt look on trouble, and the robbery and violence that are before me: while there is strife, and contention lifteth up its head? 4 Therefore is the law powerless, and justice cometh not forth victorious; for the wicked encompasseth about the righteous; therefore doth justice come forth perverted. 5 Look ye about among the nations, and behold and be astonished and astounded; for God will fulfill a work in your days, ye would not believe it, if it were only told you. 6 For, lo, I will raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and impetuous nation, that march to the wide spaces of the earth to conquer dwelling-places that are not theirs. 7 Terrible and dreadful are they: from themselves go forth their judicial laws and their dignity. 8 And swifter than leopards are their horses, and fiercer than the evening wolves; and their horsemen spread themselves abroad: and their horsemen will come from afar; they will fly like the eagle hastening to eat. 9 They all will come for violence: the front of their faces is like the east wind, and they gather captives as the sand. 10 And they will make sport with kings, and princes will be a play unto them: at every strong-hold will they laugh, and they will cast up earth-mounds and capture it. 11 Then doth their spirit become arrogant, and they are surpassingly proud, and offend, imputing this their power unto their god. 12 Art thou not from everlasting, O Lord my God, my Holy One? we shall not die. O Lord, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O Protector, thou hast appointed them to correct nations. 13 Thou, who art too pure of eyes to behold evil, and canst not look on trouble, wherefore wilt thou look upon those that deal treacherously, be silent when the wicked swalloweth up him that is more righteous than he? 14 And why makest thou men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them? 15 All of them he bringeth up with the angle, he draggeth them up in his net, and gathereth them in his drag: therefore he rejoiceth and is glad. 16 Therefore he sacrificeth unto his net, and burneth incense unto his drag; because through them is his portion fat, and his food marrowy. 17 Shall he therefore always empty his net, and continually slay nations without sparing?
YLT(i) 1 The burden that Habakkuk the prophet hath seen: 2 Till when, O Jehovah, have I cried, And Thou dost not hear? I cry unto Thee—`Violence,' and Thou dost not save. 3 Why dost Thou shew me iniquity, And perversity dost cause to behold? And spoiling and violence are before me, And there is strife, and contention doth lift itself up, 4 Therefore doth law cease, And judgment doth not go forth for ever, For the wicked is compassing the righteous, Therefore wrong judgment goeth forth.
5 Look ye on nations, and behold and marvel greatly. For a work He is working in your days, Ye do not believe though it is declared. 6 For, lo, I am raising up the Chaldeans, The bitter and hasty nation, That is going to the broad places of earth, To occupy tabernacles not its own. 7 Terrible and fearful it is, From itself its judgment and its excellency go forth. 8 Swifter than leopards have been its horses, And sharper than evening wolves, And increased have its horsemen, Even its horsemen from afar come in, They fly as an eagle, hasting to consume. 9 Wholly for violence it doth come in, Their faces swallowing up the east wind, And it doth gather as the sand a captivity. 10 And at kings it doth scoff, And princes are a laughter to it, At every fenced place it doth laugh, And it heapeth up dust, and captureth it. 11 Then passed on hath the spirit, Yea, he doth transgress, And doth ascribe this his power to his god.
12 Art not Thou of old, O Jehovah, my God, my Holy One? We do not die, O Jehovah, For judgment Thou hast appointed it, And, O Rock, for reproof Thou hast founded it. 13 Purer of eyes than to behold evil, To look on perverseness Thou art not able, Why dost Thou behold the treacherous? Thou keepest silent when the wicked Doth swallow the more righteous than he, 14 And Thou makest man as fishes of the sea, As a creeping thing—none ruling over him. 15 Each of them with a hook he hath brought up, He doth catch it in his net, and gathereth it in his drag, Therefore he doth joy and rejoice. 16 Therefore he doth sacrifice to his net, And doth make perfume to his drag, For by them is his portion fertile, and his food fat. 17 Doth he therefore empty his net, And continually to slay nations spare not?
JuliaSmith(i) 1 The lifting up which Habbakuk the prophet saw. 2 How long, O Jehovah, did I cry for help, and thou wilt not bear? I will cry to thee violence, and thou wilt not save. 3 Wherefore wilt thou cause me to see vanity and cause me to look at labor? and oppression and violence before me, and there will be contention, and strife will be raised up. 4 For this, the law will be slack, and judgment will not go forth forever: for the unjust surrounds the just; for this perverted judgment will go forth. 5 See ye among the nations, and look, and wonder; ye shall wonder: for the working a work in your days ye will not believe if it shall be recounted. 6 For behold me raising up the Chaldeans, the nation bitter and hasty, going upon the wide places of the land to possess the dwelling not to him. 7 He terrible and dreadful: his judgment and his elevation shall come forth from himself, 8 And his horses were swift above panthers, and they were sharp above the wolves of the evening: and his horsemen were spread, and his horsemen shall come from far off; they shall fly as the eagle hastening to eat 9 Wholly for violence shall he come: the host of their faces forwards, and he shall gather a captivity as the sand. 10 And he shall scoff at kings, and princes a derision to him: at every fortress he shall deride, and he shall heap up dust and take it 11 Then the spirit changed, and he will pass over, and he transgressed: this his strength is his God. 12 Art thou not from of old, O Jehovah, my holy God? We shall not die. O Jehovah, thou didst set him for judgment; and O Rock, thou didst found him for correction. 13 Being pure of eyes from beholding evil, and wilt not be able to look upon labor: wherefore wilt thou look upon the transgressors? wilt thou be silent in the unjust swallowing the just above him? 14 And wilt thou make man as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping thing no ruler over him? 15 And he brought up a completion with the book, he will drag him in his net, and he will gather him in his fishnet: for this he will rejoice and be glad. 16 For this he will sacrifice to his net and burn incense to his fish-net; for by them his portion fat and his food. growing fat 17 For this, will he empty his net; and he will not spare to slay the nations continually.

  8 H5483 Their horses H7043 also are swifter H5246 than leopards, H2300 and are more fierce H6153 than the evening H2061 wolves; H6571 and their horsemen H6335 press proudly H6571 on: yea, their horsemen H935 come H7350 from far; H5774 they fly H5404 as an eagle H2363 that hasteth H398 to devour.
  9 H935 They come H2555 all of them for violence; H4041 the set H6440 of their faces H6921 is forwards; H622 and they gather H7628 captives H2344 as the sand.
  10 H7046 Yea, he scoffeth H4428 at kings, H7336 and princes H4890 are a derision H7832 unto him; he derideth H4013 every stronghold; H6651 for he heapeth H6083 up dust, H3920 and taketh it.
  11 H2498 Then shall he sweep H7307 by as a wind, H5674 and shall pass over, H816 and be guilty, H2098 even he whose H3581 might H433 is his god.
  12 H6924 Art not thou from everlasting, H3068 O Jehovah H430 my God, H6918 my Holy One? H4191 we shall not die. H3068 O Jehovah, H7760 thou hast ordained H4941 him for judgment; H6697 and thou, O Rock, H3245 hast established H3198 him for correction.
  13 H2889 Thou that art of purer H5869 eyes H7200 than to behold H7451 evil, H3201 and that canst H5027 not look H5999 on perverseness, H5027 wherefore lookest H898 thou upon them that deal treacherously, H2790 and holdest thy peace H7563 when the wicked H1104 swalloweth H6662 up the man that is more righteous than he;
  14 H6213 and makest H120 men H1709 as the fishes H3220 of the sea, H7431 as the creeping things, H4910 that have no ruler over them?
  15 H5927 He taketh up H2443 all of them with the angle, H1641 he catcheth H2764 them in his net, H622 and gathereth H4365 them in his drag: H8055 therefore he rejoiceth H1523 and is glad.
  16 H2076 Therefore he sacrificeth H2764 unto his net, H6999 and burneth incense H4365 unto his drag; H1992 because by them H2506 his portion H8082 is fat, H3978 and his food H1277 plenteous.
  17 H7324 Shall he therefore empty H2764 his net, H2550 and spare H2026 not to slay H1471 the nations H8548 continually?
JPS_ASV_Byz(i) 1 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see. 2 How long, O LORD, shall I cry, and Thou wilt not hear? I cry out unto Thee of violence, and Thou wilt not save. 3 Why dost Thou show me iniquity, and beholdest mischief? And why are spoiling and violence before me? so that there is strife, and contention ariseth. 4 Therefore the law is slacked, and right doth never go forth; for the wicked doth beset the righteous; therefore right goeth forth perverted. 5 Look ye among the nations, and behold, and wonder marvellously; for, behold, a work shall be wrought in your days, which ye will not believe though it be told you. 6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and impetuous nation, that march through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling-places that are not theirs. 7 They are terrible and dreadful; their law and their majesty proceed from themselves. 8 Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the wolves of the desert; and their horsemen spread themselves; yea, their horsemen come from far, they fly as a vulture that hasteth to devour. 9 They come all of them for violence; their faces are set eagerly as the east wind; and they gather captives as the sand. 10 And they scoff at kings, and princes are a derision unto them; they deride every stronghold, for they heap up earth, and take it. 11 Then their spirit doth pass over and transgress, and they become guilty: even they who impute their might unto their god. 12 Art not Thou from everlasting, O LORD my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O LORD, Thou hast ordained them for judgment, and Thou, O Rock, hast established them for correction. 13 Thou that art of eyes too pure to behold evil, and that canst not look on mischief, wherefore lookest Thou, when they deal treacherously, and holdest Thy peace, when the wicked swalloweth up the man that is more righteous than he; 14 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them? 15 They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag; therefore they rejoice and exult. 16 Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and offer unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their food plenteous. 17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare to slay the nations continually?
Rotherham(i) 1 The oracle of which Habakkuk the prophet, had vision: 2 How long, O Yahweh, have I called out, and thou wouldst not hear me? Have I kept crying unto thee of violence, and thou wouldst not save? 3 Wherefore shouldst thou let me see iniquity, and, wrong, shouldst let me behold, and, force and violence, be straight before me,––and there should have ever been someone who, contention and strife, would uphold? 4 For which cause, benumbed is the law, and there is never any going forth of justice,––for, the lawless, doth circumvent the righteous, for which cause, justice doth go forth perverted?
5 Behold ye, among the nations, and look around, Yea stand stock still––stare,––for, a work, is being wrought in your days, ye will not believe, when it is recounted. 6 For, behold me! raising up the Chaldeans, the bitter and headlong nation,––that marcheth to the breadths of the earth, to take possession of habitations, not his. 7 Awful and fearful, is he,––from himself, his decision and his uprising, proceed. 8 Then, swifter than leopards, are his horses, and, more sharply they attack, than evening wolves, and forward have leapt his chargers,––Yea, his chargers, from afar, will come in, they will fly as an eagle hath hastened to devour. 9 Solely for violence, will he come, the intent of their faces, is––To the east! And he hath gathered, as the sand, a captive host; 10 And, he, over kings, will make merry, and, nobles, will be a scorn to him: he, at any fortress, will laugh, once he hath heaped up dust, he hath captured it! 11 Then, hath he become arrogant in spirit, and hath committed excess, and so is guilty,––this his violence, is due to his god.
12 Art not, thou, from of old, O Yahweh, my God, my Holy One? Thou diest not! O Yahweh, to judgment, hast thou appointed him, and, O Rock, to correction, hast thou devoted him: 13 [Thou] whose eyes are too pure to look with approval on wrong, to respect oppression, canst not endure,––Wherefore, shouldst thou respect the treacherous? Be silent, when the lawless, swalloweth up, one more righteous than he? 14 So wouldst thou have made Men, like the fishes of the sea,––like the creeping thing that hath no ruler over it: 15 All of which, with a hook, one bringeth up, raketh together with his drag, and hath gathered with his net,–– 16 On which account, he is glad and exulteth: on which account, he sacrificeth to his Net, and burneth incense to his Drag; because, thereby, rich, is his portion, and his food––fatness! 17 Shall he, on this account, empty his net? And, the continual slaying of nations, deem to be no pity?
CLV(i) 1 The load which Habakkuk the prophet perceived. 2 Till when, Yahweh, do I implore, and You are not hearkening! I am crying out to You of violence, and You are not saving!" 3 Why are You showing me lawlessness? And at toil are You looking, and devastation and violence are in front of me, and contention is coming to be, and quarreling am I bearing? 4 Therefore the law is torpid, and judgment is not faring forth permanently, for the wicked one is compassing about the righteous one; therefore tortuous judgment is faring forth." 5 See, despisers, and look, and be utterly amazed, for I contrive a contrivance in your days you will not believe though it were being related." 6 For, behold Me raising the Chaldeans, the bitter and hasty nation, going the widths of the earth to tenant tabernacles not his own." 7 Dreadful and fearful is he! His judgment and his dignity are faring forth from him. 8 His horses are fleeter than leopards and sharper than evening wolves, and his horsemen are diffused; and his horsemen will come from far. They will fly as a vulture that hurries to eat." 9 All of them will come for violence. The endeavor of their faces is toward the east; and they shall gather the captives as sand. 10 And he will scoff at kings, and chancellors will be sport to him; he will sport with every fortress and pile up soil and seize it." 11 Then he will pass on as a wind, and he shall trespass and be guilty. This, his vigor, becomes his eloah." 12 Are You not from aforetime, Yahweh? My Eloah, my Holy One, You shalt not die. Yahweh, for judgment do You place him, and, O Rock, for correction, You do found him." 13 You are of cleaner eyes than to see evil, and to look at toil You are not able. Why are You looking at the treacherous, are silent when the wicked swallow one up more righteous than he? 14 And You are making humanity as fish of the sea, as the moving animal with no ruler over it." 15 All of them he brings up with a fishhook; he is impounding them in his seine net and is gathering them in his dragnet, therefore his heart is rejoicing and exulting." 16 Therefore he is sacrificing to his seine net and is fuming incense to his dragnet, for his portion is stout by them, and his food plump." 17 Will he therefore empty his seine net, and not spare to kill the nations continually?
BBE(i) 1 The word which Habakkuk the prophet saw. 2 How long, O Lord, will your ears be shut to my voice? I make an outcry to you about violent behaviour, but you do not send salvation. 3 Why do you make me see evil-doing, and why are my eyes fixed on wrong? for wasting and violent acts are before me: and there is fighting and bitter argument. 4 For this reason the law is feeble and decisions are not effected: for the upright man is circled round by evil-doers; because of which right is twisted. 5 See among the nations, and take note, and be full of wonder: for in your days I am doing a work in which you will have no belief, even if news of it is given to you. 6 For see, I am sending the Chaldaeans, that bitter and quick-moving nation; who go through the wide spaces of the earth to get for themselves living-places which are not theirs. 7 They are greatly to be feared: their right comes from themselves. 8 And their horses are quicker than leopards and their horsemen more cruel than evening wolves; they come from far away, like an eagle in flight rushing on its food. 9 They are coming all of them with force; the direction of their faces is forward, the number of their prisoners is like the sands of the sea. 10 He makes little of kings, rulers are a sport to him; all the strong places are to be laughed at; for he makes earthworks and takes them. 11 Then his purpose will be changed, over-stepping the limit; he will make his strength his god. 12 Are you not eternal, O Lord my God, my Holy One? for you there is no death. O Lord, he has been ordered by you for our punishment; and by you, O Rock, he has been marked out to put us right. 13 Before your holy eyes sin may not be seen, and you are unable to put up with wrong; why, then, are your eyes on the false? why do you say nothing when the evil-doer puts an end to one who is more upright than himself? 14 He has made men like the fishes of the sea, like the worms which have no ruler over them. 15 He takes them all up with his hook, he takes them in his net, getting them together in his fishing-net: for which cause he is glad and full of joy. 16 For this reason he makes an offering to his net, burning perfume to his fishing-net; because by them he gets much food and his meat is fat. 17 For this cause his net is ever open, and there is no end to his destruction of the nations.
MKJV(i) 1 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet saw. 2 O Jehovah, until when shall I cry and You will not hear? I cry out to You of violence, and You do not save! 3 Why do You show me evil, and You look on toil? For destruction and violence are before me; and there is strife, and contention rises up. 4 Therefore the law has become helpless, and justice does not always go forth. For the wicked entraps the righteous; therefore justice goes forth, being perverted. 5 Look among the nations, and behold and wonder marvelously; for I will work a work in your days which you will not believe, not even if it is declared to you. 6 For lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, the bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land to possess homes not their own. 7 He is terrible and fearful; his judgment and his majesty comes forth from Himself. 8 His horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves. And their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from afar. They shall fly like the eagle hurrying to eat. 9 All of him shall come for violence; the gathering of their faces is forward; and they gather captives like the sand. 10 And they shall scoff at the kings, and the rulers shall be a scorn to them. They shall laugh at every stronghold, for he shall heap up dust and capture it. 11 Then he sweeps on like a wind, and he transgresses and is guilty, crediting his power to his god. 12 Are You not from everlasting, O Jehovah my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O Jehovah, You have ordained them for judgment; and, my Rock, You have established them for correction. 13 You are of purer eyes than to behold evil, and can not look upon vexation. Why do You look upon those who deal deceitfully? Will you be silent when the wicked swallows one more righteous than he? 14 For You make man like the fish of the sea, like creeping things with no ruler over them. 15 He takes up all of them with the hook; he drags him with his net and gathers him with his seine; therefore he rejoices and exults. 16 So he sacrifices to his net and burns incense to his seine; because by them his portion is fat and his food rich. 17 Shall he then empty his net, and shall he not spare to continually slay nations?
LITV(i) 1 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet saw: 2 O Jehovah, until when shall I cry for help, and You will not hear? I cry out to You, Violence! But You do not save. 3 Why do You show me evil, and You look upon toil? For destruction and violence are before me; and there is strife, and contention rises up. 4 On account of this the law has become helpless, and justice does not continually go forth. For the wicked hems in the righteous, so justice goes forth, being perverted. 5 Look among the nations and see, and be amazed. Be amazed! For a work is working in your days which you will not believe, though it be told to you. 6 For, behold, I raise up the Chaldeans, the bitter and impetuous nation which is going into the broad spaces of the land, to possess dwellings not his own. 7 He is terrible and fearful; his judgment and his glory comes from himself. 8 His horses also are swifter than leopards and are fiercer than the evening wolves. And their horsemen spread themselves; yea, their horsemen come from afar; they shall fly as the eagle hurrying to eat. 9 All of him shall come for violence; the gathering of their faces is forward; and they gather captives like the sand. 10 And he shall scoff against the kings, and officials shall be a scorn to him. He shall scorn every fortress, and he shall heap up dirt and capture it. 11 Then he sweeps on like a wind; and he transgresses and is guilty, crediting this power of his to his god. 12 Are You not from of old, Jehovah our God, my Holy One? We shall not die, Jehovah, for You have appointed him for judgment. And, my Rock, You have established him for correction. 13 You are of purer eyes than to behold evil, and You are not able to look upon vexation. Why do you look on those who deal deceitfully?

On account of this he rejoices and exults. 16 So he sacrifices to his net, and burns incense to his seine; because by them his portion is fat, and his food rich. 17 Shall he therefore empty his net, and shall he not spare to continually slay nations?
ECB(i) 1
THE FIRST BURDEN OF HABAKKUK
The burden Habakkuk the prophet sees: 2 O Yah Veh, how long cry I, and you hear not! - even cry out to you of violence, and you save not? 3 Why show me mischief, and have me to scan at toil? With ravage and violence in front of me? And strife and contention lifting themselves? 4 So the torah is exhausted and judgment goes not in perpetuity: for the wicked surround the just; so twisted judgment proceeds. 5
THE RESPONSE OF YAH VEH
See among the goyim and look; and marvel marvellously: for he works a work in your days which you trust not though it is scribed. 6 For, behold, I raise the Kesediym, that bitter and hasty goyim, to walk through the expanse of the land; to possess the tabernacles which are not theirs: 7 - terrible and awesome: their judgment and their exalting proceeds from themselves: 8 with horses swifter than leopards and sharper than the evening wolves: and their cavalry spread themselves and their cavalry comes from afar; they fly as the eagle hastening to devour: 9 they all come for violence; their faces suck the easterly and they gather the captivity as the sand. 10 And they ridicule sovereigns, and potentates are their laughingstock: they ridicule every fortress; for they heap dust and capture it. 11 Then his spirit passes on and he passes over; yes, he guilts his force is unto his elohah. 12
THE SECOND BURDEN OF HABAKKUK
Are you not from antiquity, O Yah Veh my Elohim, my Holy One? We die not, O Yah Veh: you set them for judgment; and O Rock, you founded them for reproof: 13 - eyes, purer than to see evil, that cannot look on toil: Why look on them who deal covertly? And hush when the wicked swallow him who is more just? 14 Works humanity as the fishes of the sea? As the creepers who have no sovereign over them? 15 He ascends them all with the hook; he catches them in their net and gathers them in their dragnet: so he cheers and twirls: 16 so he sacrifices to his net and incenses to his dragnet; because by them his allotment is fat, and his food fattens. 17 So drags he not his net? And spares he not from continually slaughtering the goyim?
ACV(i) 1 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet saw. 2 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou will not hear? I cry out to thee of violence, and thou will not save. 3 Why do thou show me iniquity, and look upon perverseness? For destruction and violence are before me, and there is strife, and contention rises up. 4 Therefore the law is slacked, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked man surrounds the righteous man, therefore justice goes forth perverted. 5 Behold ye scoffers, and look, and wonder marvelously. For I am working a work in your days, which ye will not believe though it be told you. 6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, who march through the breadth of the earth to possess dwelling-places that are not theirs. 7 They are fearful and dreadful. Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves. 8 Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves. And their horsemen press proudly on. Yea, their horsemen come from far. They fly as an eagle that hastens to devour. 9 They come all of them for violence. The set of their faces is forwards, and they gather captives as the sand. 10 Yea, he scoffs at kings, and rulers are a derision to him. He derides every stronghold, for he heaps up dust, and takes it. 11 Then he shall sweep by as a wind, and shall pass over, and be guilty; he whose might is his god. 12 Are not thou from everlasting, O LORD my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O LORD, thou have ordained him for judgment, and thou, O Rock, have established him for correction. 13 Thou who are of purer eyes than to behold evil, and who cannot look on perverseness, why do thou look upon those who deal treacherously, and hold thy peace when the wicked man swallows up the man who is more righteous than he, 14 and makes men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them? 15 He takes all of them up with the hook. He catches them in his net, and gathers them in his drag. Therefore he rejoices and is glad. 16 Therefore he sacrifices to his net, and burns incense to his drag, because by them his portion is fat, and his food plentiful. 17 Shall he therefore empty his net, and not spare to kill the nations continually?
WEB(i) 1 The revelation which Habakkuk the prophet saw. 2 Yahweh, how long will I cry, and you will not hear? I cry out to you “Violence!” and will you not save? 3 Why do you show me iniquity, and look at perversity? For destruction and violence are before me. There is strife, and contention rises up. 4 Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails; for the wicked surround the righteous; therefore justice comes out perverted. 5 “Look among the nations, watch, and wonder marvelously; for I am working a work in your days, which you will not believe though it is told you. 6 For, behold, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, that march through the width of the earth, to possess dwelling places that are not theirs. 7 They are feared and dreaded.

He gathers prisoners like sand. 10 Yes, he scoffs at kings, and princes are a derision to him. He laughs at every stronghold, for he builds up an earthen ramp, and takes it. 11 Then he sweeps by like the wind, and goes on. He is indeed guilty, whose strength is his god.” 12 Aren’t you from everlasting, Yahweh my God, my Holy One? We will not die. Yahweh, you have appointed him for judgment. You, Rock, have established him to punish. 13 You who have purer eyes than to see evil, and who cannot look on perversity, why do you tolerate those who deal treacherously, and keep silent when the wicked swallows up the man who is more righteous than he, 14 and make men like the fish of the sea, like the creeping things, that have no ruler over them? 15 He takes up all of them with the hook.

AKJV(i) 1 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see. 2 O LORD, how long shall I cry, and you will not hear! even cry out to you of violence, and you will not save! 3 Why do you show me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention. 4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment does never go forth: for the wicked does compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceeds. 5 Behold you among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I will work a work in your days which you will not believe, though it be told you. 6 For, see, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwelling places that are not their's. 7 They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves. 8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hastens to eat. 9 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand. 10 And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn to them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it. 11 Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power to his god. 12 Are you not from everlasting, O LORD my God, my Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, you have ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, you have established them for correction. 13 You are of purer eyes than to behold evil, and can not look on iniquity: why look you on them that deal treacherously, and hold your tongue when the wicked devours the man that is more righteous than he? 14 And make men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them? 15 They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad. 16 Therefore they sacrifice to their net, and burn incense to their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous. 17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?

  3 H4100 Why H7200 do you show H205 me iniquity, H5027 and cause me to behold H5999 grievance? H7701 for spoiling H2555 and violence H5048 are before H5375 me: and there are that raise H7379 up strife H4066 and contention.
  4 H5921 Therefore H3651 H8451 the law H6313 is slacked, H4941 and judgment H3808 does never H5331 H3318 go H3318 forth: H7563 for the wicked H3803 does compass H6662 about the righteous; H5921 therefore H3651 H6127 wrong H4941 judgment H3318 proceeds.

  6 H2009 For, see, H6965 I raise H3778 up the Chaldeans, H4751 that bitter H4116 and hasty H1471 nation, H1980 which shall march H4800 through the breadth H776 of the land, H3423 to possess H4908 the dwelling places that are not their’s.

  9 H935 They shall come H3605 all H2555 for violence: H6440 their faces H4041 shall sup H6921 up as the east H622 wind, and they shall gather H7628 the captivity H2344 as the sand.
  10 H7046 And they shall scoff H4428 at the kings, H7336 and the princes H4890 shall be a scorn H7832 to them: they shall deride H3605 every H4013 strong H4013 hold; H6651 for they shall heap H6083 dust, H3920 and take it.
  11 H227 Then H7307 shall his mind H2498 change, H5674 and he shall pass H5674 over, H816 and offend, H2098 imputing this H3581 his power H430 to his god.

  13 H2889 You are of purer H5869 eyes H7200 than to behold H7451 evil, H3201 and can H5027 not look H413 on H5999 iniquity: H4100 why H5027 look H898 you on them that deal treacherously, H2790 and hold H2790 your tongue H7563 when the wicked H1104 devours H6662 the man that is more righteous than he?
  14 H6213 And make H120 men H1709 as the fishes H3220 of the sea, H7431 as the creeping H3808 things, that have no H4910 ruler over them?

Judgment is before me, and the judge receives a reward. 4 Therefore the law is frustrated, and judgment never goes forth, for the ungodly man prevails over the just; therefore perverse judgment will proceed. 5 Behold, you despisers, and look, and wonder marvelously, and vanish: for I work a work in your days which you will by no means believe, though a man declare it to you. 6 Wherefore, behold, I stir up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, that walks upon the breadth of the earth, to inherit tabernacles not his own. 7 He is terrible and infamous; his judgment shall proceed of himself, and his dignity shall come out of himself. 8 And his horses shall bound more swiftly than leopards, and they are fiercer than the wolves of Arabia: and his horsemen shall ride forth, and shall rush from far; and they shall fly as an eagle that hastens to eat. 9 Destruction shall come upon ungodly men, resisting with their adverse front, and he shall gather the captivity as the sand. 10 And he shall be at his ease with kings, and princes are his toys, and he shall mock at every stronghold, and shall cast a mound, and take possession of it. 11 Then shall he change his spirit, and he shall pass through, and make an atonement, saying, This strength belongs to my God. 12 Are You not from everlasting, O Lord God, my Holy One? And surely we shall not die. O Lord, You have established it for judgment, and He has formed me to chasten with His correction. 13 His eye is too pure to behold evil doings, and to look upon grievous afflictions: why do You look upon despisers? Will You be silent when the ungodly swallows up the just? 14 And will You make men as the fish in the sea, and as the reptiles which have no guide? 15 He has brought up destruction with a hook, and drawn one with a casting net, and caught another in his drags: therefore shall his heart rejoice and be glad. 16 Therefore will he sacrifice to his drag, and burn incense to his casting net, because by them he has made his portion fat, and his meats choice. 17 Therefore will he cast his net, and will not spare to slay the nations continually.

NSB(i) 1 This is the message Jehovah revealed to Habakkuk the prophet: 2 How long, O Jehovah (YHWH), will I call for help and you do not hear? I cry out to you, save me from violence! And yet you do not save. 3 Why do you make me see wickedness and immorality? Destruction and violence are before me. Strife exists and contention arises. 4 The law is paralyzed and justice is never delivered. The wicked surround the righteous and deliver perverted justice. 5 »Look among the nations, watch, and be amazed. Though you are told you will not believe the work I do today. 6 »Behold, I bring the Chaldeans to power, that bitter and impetuous nation. They march through the expanse of the earth to possess dwelling places that are not theirs. 7 »They are feared and dreaded. Their justice and dignity are of their own being. 8 »Their horses are swifter than leopards. They are fiercer than the evening wolves. Their horsemen proudly press on. Yes, their horsemen come from afar. They fly like an eagle in a hurry to eat. 9 »They all come for violence. Their crowds look straight ahead and gather prisoners like the sand. 10 »They scoff at kings, and princes are derision to them. They laugh at every stronghold, for they build earthen ramps and capture them. 11 »They will sweep by like a wind and continue on. They will be held guilty for might is their god.« 12 You are from everlasting, O Jehovah my God, my Holy One, You are eternal. O Jehovah, you have appointed them (the Chaldean) to execute judgment. You, O Rock, have established them for correction. 13 Your eyes are too pure to look at evil. You cannot look at perversity. Why do you look at treacherous persons and not act? Why do you keep quiet when the wicked destroy the man who is more righteous? 14 Why do you make men like the fish of the sea, like creeping things that have no ruler over them? 15 He brings them all up with the hook. He gathers them away in his net. He gladly gathers them and rejoices. 16 He offers sacrifices and burns incense to his fishing net. For it is through this their catch is great and the food is plentiful. 17 Will they keep on emptying their nets and keep on destroying nations without mercy?
ISV(i) 1 Habakkuk’s OracleThe pronouncement that the prophet Habakkuk perceived.
2 The Prophet’s First Complaint“How long, LORD, must I cry out for help, but you won’t listen? I’m crying out to you, ‘Violence!’ but you aren’t providing deliverance. 3 Why are you forcing me to look at iniquity and to stare at wickedness? Social havoc and oppression are all around me; there are legal conflicts, and disputes abound. 4 Therefore, the Law has become paralyzed, and justice never comes about. Because criminals outnumber the righteous, whenever judgments are issued, they come out crooked.”
5 God’s Response: The Coming Chaldean Invasion“Look out at the nations and pay attention! Be astounded! Be really astounded! Because something is happening in your lifetime that you won’t believe, even if it were described down to the smallest detail. 6 Watch out! For I am bringing in the Chaldeans, that cruel and impetuous people, who sweep across the earth dispossessing people from homes not their own. 7 They are terrible and fearsome; their brand of justice and sense of honor derive only from themselves! 8 Their horses are swifter than leopards, and more cunning than wolves that attack at night. Their horsemen are galloping as they approach from far away. They swoop in like ravenous vultures. 9 “They all come to oppress— hordes of them, their faces pressing onward— they take prisoners as numerous as the desert sand! 10 They make fun of kings, deriding those who rule. They laugh at all of the fortified places, constructing ramps to seize them. 11 Then like the wind sweeping by they will pass through— they’re guilty because they say their power is their god.”
12 The Prophet’s Second Complaint“Haven’t you existed forever, LORD my God, my Holy One? We won’t die! LORD, you’ve prepared them for judgment; Rock, you’ve sentenced them to correction. 13 Your eyes are too pure to gaze upon evil; and you cannot tolerate wickedness. So why do you tolerate the treacherous? And why do you stay silent while the wicked devour those who are more righteous than they are? 14 “You have fashioned mankind like fish in the ocean, like creeping things that have no ruler. 15 The adversary captures them with a hook, gathering them up in a fishing net. He collects them with a dragnet, rejoicing and gloating over his catch. 16 Therefore he sacrifices to his fishing net, and burns incense in the presence of his dragnet, because by them his assets increase and he gets plenty of food. 17 Is he to continue to empty his fishing net? Will he ever stop killing entire nations without mercy?”
LEB(i) 1 The oracle that Habakkuk the prophet saw. 2 O Yahweh, how long shall I cry for help and you will not listen? How long will I cry out to you, "Violence!" and you will not save? 3 Why do you cause me to see evil while you look at trouble? Destruction and violence happen before me; contention and strife arise. 4 Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice does not go forth perpetually.* For the wicked surround the righteous; therefore justice goes forth perverted. 5 "Look among the nations and see; be astonished and astounded. For a work is about to be done in your days that you will not believe if it is told. 6 For look! I am raising up the Chaldeans, the bitter and impetuous nation, the one who walks through the spacious places of earth to take possession of dwellings not belonging to it.* 7 They* are dreadful and awesome; their* justice and their* dignity proceed from themselves.* 8 Their* horses are more swift than leopards; they are more menacing than wolves at dusk. Their* horsemen gallop; their* horsemen come from afar; they fly like an eagle that is swift to devour. 9 All of them* come for violence, their faces pressing forward. They gather captives like the sand. 10 And they themselves scoff at kings and rulers are a joke to them. They laugh at every fortification, and they heap up earth and take it. 11 Then they sweep like the wind and pass on; they become guilty, whose might is their* god!" 12 Are you not from of old, O Yahweh my God, my Holy One? You* shall not die. O Yahweh, you have marked them* for judgment; O Rock, you have established them* for reproof. 13 Your eyes are too pure to see evil, and you are not able to look at wrongdoing.* Why do you look at the treacherous? Why are you silent when the wicked swallows up someone more righteous than him? 14 You make humankind like fish of the sea, like crawling creatures that have no ruler among them. 15 He brings up all of them with a fishhook; he drags them up with a fishnet; he gathers them in his dragnet. Therefore, he rejoices and exults. 16 Therefore he sacrifices to his fishnet and makes offerings to his dragnet, for by them ⌊he makes a good living⌋* and his food is rich. 17 Will he therefore empty his fishnet and continually kill nations without showing mercy?
BSB(i) 1 This is the burden that Habakkuk the prophet received in a vision: 2 How long, O LORD, must I call for help but You do not hear, or cry out to You, “Violence!” but You do not save? 3 Why do You make me see iniquity? Why do You tolerate wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are before me. Strife is ongoing, and conflict abounds. 4 Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted. 5 “Look at the nations and observe—be utterly astounded! For I am doing a work in your days that you would never believe even if someone told you. 6 For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans—that ruthless and impetuous nation which marches through the breadth of the earth to seize dwellings not their own. 7 They are dreaded and feared; from themselves they derive justice and sovereignty. 8 Their horses are swifter than leopards, fiercer than wolves of the night. Their horsemen charge ahead, and their cavalry comes from afar. They fly like a vulture, swooping down to devour. 9 All of them come bent on violence; their hordes advance like the east wind; they gather prisoners like sand. 10 They scoff at kings and make rulers an object of scorn. They laugh at every fortress and build up siege ramps to seize it. 11 Then they sweep by like the wind and pass on through. They are guilty; their own strength is their god.” 12 Are You not from everlasting, O LORD, my God, my Holy One? We will not die. O LORD, You have appointed them to execute judgment; O Rock, You have established them for correction. 13 Your eyes are too pure to look upon evil, and You cannot tolerate wrongdoing. So why do You tolerate the faithless? Why are You silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves? 14 You have made men like the fish of the sea, like creeping things that have no ruler. 15 The foe pulls all of them up with a hook; he catches them in his dragnet, and gathers them in his fishing net; so he rejoices gladly. 16 Therefore he sacrifices to his dragnet and burns incense to his fishing net, for by these things his portion is sumptuous and his food is rich. 17 Will he, therefore, empty his net and continue to slay nations without mercy?

MLV(i) 1 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet saw.
2 O Jehovah, how long shall I cry and you will not hear? I cry out to you of violence and you will not save. 3 Why do you show me wickedness and look upon perverseness? For destruction and violence are before me and there is strife and contention rises up. 4 Therefore the law is slacked and justice never goes forth. For the wicked man surrounds the righteous man, therefore justice goes forth perverted.
5 Behold you* scoffers and look and wonder marvelously. For I am working a work in your* days, which you* will not believe though it is told you*. 6 For behold, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, who march through the breadth of the earth to possess dwelling-places that are not theirs.
7 They are fearful and dreadful. Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves. 8 Their horses also are swifter than leopards and are more fierce than the evening wolves. And their horsemen press proudly on. Yes, their horsemen come from far. They fly as an eagle that hastens to devour. 9 They come all of them for violence. The set of their faces is forwards and they gather captives as the sand.
10 Yes, he scoffs at kings and rulers are a mocking to him. He derides every stronghold, for he heaps up dust and takes it. 11 Then he will sweep by as a wind and will pass over and be guilty; he whose might is his god.
12 Are not you from long-ago, O Jehovah my God, my Holy One? We will not die. O Jehovah, you have placed him for judgment and you, O Rock, have established him for correction.
13 You who are of purer eyes than to behold evil and who cannot look on perverseness, why do you look upon those who deal treacherously and hold your peace when the wicked man swallows up the man who is more righteous than he, 14 and makes men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
15 He takes all of them up with the hook. He catches them in his net and gathers them in his drag. Therefore he rejoices and is glad. 16 Therefore he sacrifices to his net and burns incense to his drag, because by them his portion is fat and his food plentiful. 17 Shall he therefore empty his net and not spare to kill the nations continually?

VIN(i) 1 The oracle that Habakkuk the prophet saw. 2 How long, O LORD (YHWH), will I call for help and you do not hear? I cry out to you, save me from violence! And yet you do not save. 3 Why do you show me iniquity, and look at perversity? For destruction and violence are before me. There is strife, and contention rises up. 4 Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails; for the wicked surround the righteous; therefore justice comes out perverted. 5 Look among the nations and see, and be amazed. Be amazed! For a work is working in your days which you will not believe, though it be told to you. 6 Watch out! For I am bringing in the Chaldeans, that cruel and impetuous people, who sweep across the earth dispossessing people from homes not their own. 7 "They are feared and dreaded. Their justice and dignity are of their own being. 8 Their horses are more swift than leopards; they are more menacing than wolves at dusk. Their horsemen gallop; their horsemen come from afar; they fly like an eagle that is swift to devour. 9 All of them come for violence. Their hordes face the desert. He gathers prisoners like sand. 10 "They scoff at kings, and princes are derision to them. They laugh at every stronghold, for they build earthen ramps and capture them. 11 Then he sweeps by like the wind, and goes on. He is indeed guilty, whose strength is his god." 12 Aren't you from everlasting, LORD my God, my Holy One? We will not die. LORD, you have appointed him for judgment. You, Rock, have established him to punish. 13 Your eyes are too pure to see evil, and you are not able to look at wrongdoing. Why do you look at the treacherous? Why are you silent when the wicked swallows up someone more righteous than him? 14 You have fashioned mankind like fish in the ocean, like creeping things that have no ruler. 15 He takes up all of them with the hook; he catches them in his net, and gathers them in his dragnet. Therefore he rejoices and is glad. 16 Therefore he sacrifices to his net, and burns incense to his dragnet, because by them his life is luxurious, and his food is good. 17 Will they keep on emptying their nets and keep on destroying nations without mercy?

Es gehet Gewalt über Recht. 4 Darum gehet es gar anders denn recht und kann keine rechte Sache gewinnen; denn der Gottlose übervorteilt den Gerechten, darum gehen verkehrte Urteile. 5 Schauet unter den Heiden, sehet und verwundert euch; denn ich will etwas tun zu euren Zeiten, welches ihr nicht glauben werdet, wenn man davon sagen wird. 6 Denn siehe, ich will die Chaldäer erwecken, ein bitter und schnell Volk, welches ziehen wird, soweit das Land ist, Wohnungen einzunehmen, die nicht sein sind, 7 und wird grausam und schrecklich sein, das da gebeut und zwinget, wie es will. 8 Ihre Rosse sind schneller denn die Parden; so sind sie auch beißiger denn die Wölfe des Abends. Ihre Reiter ziehen mit großen Haufen von ferne daher, als flögen sie, wie die Adler eilen zum Aas. 9 Sie kommen allesamt, daß sie Schaden tun; wo sie hin wollen, reißen sie hindurch wie ein Ostwind und werden Gefangene zusammenraffen wie Sand. 10 Sie werden der Könige spotten und der Fürsten werden sie lachen. Alle Festungen werden ihnen ein Scherz sein; denn sie werden Schutt machen und sie doch gewinnen. 11 Alsdann werden sie einen neuen Mut nehmen, werden fortfahren und sich versündigen; dann muß ihr Sieg ihres Gottes sein. 12 Aber du, HERR, mein Gott, mein Heiliger, der du von Ewigkeit her bist, laß uns nicht sterben, sondern laß sie uns, o HERR, nur eine Strafe sein und laß sie, o unser Hort, uns nur züchtigen! 13 Deine Augen sind rein, daß du Übels nicht sehen magst, und dem Jammer kannst du nicht zusehen. Warum siehest du denn zu den Verächtern und schweigest, daß der Gottlose verschlinget den, der frömmer denn er ist, 14 und lässet die Menschen gehen wie Fische im Meer, wie Gewürm, das keinen, HERRN hat? 15 Sie ziehen's alles mit dem Hamen und fahen's mit ihrem Netze und sammeln's mit ihrem Garn; des freuen sie sich und sind fröhlich. 16 Darum opfern sie ihrem Netze und räuchern ihrem Garn, weil durch dieselbigen ihr Teil so fett und ihre Speise so völlig worden ist. 17 Derhalben werfen sie ihr Netz noch immer aus und wollen nicht aufhören, Leute zu erwürgen.

Und Verwüstung und Gewalttat sind vor mir, und Streit entsteht, und Hader erhebt sich. 4 Darum wird das Gesetz kraftlos, und das Recht kommt nimmermehr hervor; denn der Gesetzlose umzingelt den Gerechten: darum kommt das Recht verdreht hervor. 5 Sehet unter den Nationen und schauet und erstaunet, staunet; denn ich wirke ein Werk in euren Tagen - ihr würdet es nicht glauben, wenn es erzählt würde. 6 Denn siehe, ich erwecke die Chaldäer, das grimmige und ungestüme Volk, welches die Breiten der Erde durchzieht, um Wohnungen in Besitz zu nehmen, die ihm nicht gehören. 7 Es ist schrecklich und furchtbar; sein Recht und seine Hoheit gehen von ihm aus. 8 Und schneller als Pardel sind seine Rosse und rascher als Abendwölfe; und seine Reiter sprengen einher, und seine Reiter kommen von ferne, fliegen herbei wie ein Adler, der zum Fraße eilt. 9 Sie kommen zur Gewalttat allesamt; das Streben ihrer Angesichter ist vorwärts gerichtet, und Gefangene rafft es zusammen wie Sand. 10 Und es spottet der Könige, und Fürsten sind ihm ein Gelächter; es lacht jeder Festung, und es schüttet Erde auf und nimmt sie ein. 11 Dann fährt es daher wie der Wind, und zieht weiter und verschuldet sich: diese seine Kraft ist sein Gott! 12 Bist du nicht von alters her, Jehova, mein Gott, mein Heiliger?

  12 H6924 Bist du nicht von alters H3068 her, Jehova H430 , mein Gott H6918 , mein Heiliger H4191 ? Wir werden nicht sterben H3068 . Jehova H4941 , zum Gericht H3198 hast H7760 du es gesetzt H6697 , und, o Fels, zur Züchtigung es bestellt.
  13 H898 Du H2889 bist zu rein H5869 von Augen H7451 , um Böses H7200 zu sehen H5999 , und Mühsal H2790 vermagst du H3201 nicht H1104 anzuschauen. Warum schaust du Räubern zu, schweigst, wenn der Gesetzlose den verschlingt H6662 , der gerechter H5027 ist als er ?
  14 H6213 Und H120 machst die Menschen H1709 wie die Fische H3220 des Meeres H7431 , wie das Gewürm, das keinen Herrscher hat?
  15 H622 Er H5927 hebt sie alle mit der Angel herauf H4365 , er zieht sie herbei mit seinem Netze H1523 und sammelt sie in sein Garn; darum freut H8055 er sich und jubelt.
  16 H2076 Darum opfert H4365 er seinem Netze H6999 und räuchert H1992 seinem Garne, denn durch sie H2506 ist sein Teil H8082 fett H3978 und seine Speise feist.
  17 H2550 Soll er H2764 deshalb sein Netz H7324 ausleeren H2026 , und beständig darauf ausgehen, Nationen schonungslos hinzumorden?
DSV(i) 1 De last, welken Habakuk, de profeet, gezien heeft. 2 HEERE! hoe lang schreeuw ik, en Gij hoort niet, hoe lang roep ik geweld, tot U, en Gij verlost niet! 3 Waarom laat Gij mij ongerechtigheid zien, en aanschouwt de kwelling? Want verwoesting en geweld is tegen mij over, en er is twist, en men neemt gekijf op. 4 Daarom wordt de wet onderlaten, en het recht komt nimmermeer voort; want de goddeloze omringt den rechtvaardige; daarom komt het recht verdraaid voor. 5 Ziet onder de heidenen, en aanschouwt, en verwondert u, verwondert u, want Ik werk een werk in ulieder dagen, hetwelk gij niet geloven zult, als het verteld zal worden. 6 Want ziet, Ik verwek de Chaldeeën, een bitter en snel volk, trekkende door de breedten der aarde, om erfelijk te bezitten woningen, die de zijne niet zijn. 7 Schrikkelijk en vreselijk is hetzelve; zijn recht en zijn hoogheid gaat van hemzelven uit. 8 Want zijn paarden zijn lichter dan de luipaarden, en zij zijn scherper dan de avondwolven, en zijn ruiters verspreiden zich; ja, zijn ruiters zullen van verre komen, zij zullen vliegen als een arend, zich spoedende om te eten. 9 Het zal geheellijk tot geweld komen, wat zij inslorpen zullen met hun aangezichten, zullen zij brengen naar het oosten; en het zal de gevangenen verzamelen als zand. 10 En hij zal de koningen beschimpen, en de prinsen zullen hem een belaching zijn; hij zal alle vesting belachen; want hij zal stof vergaderen, en hij zal ze innemen. 11 Dan zal hij den geest veranderen, en hij zal doortrekken, en zich schuldig maken, houdende deze zijn kracht voor zijn God. 12 Zijt Gij niet van ouds af de HEERE, mijn God, mijn Heilige? Wij zullen niet sterven; o HEERE! tot een oordeel hebt Gij hem gesteld, en o Rots! om te straffen, hebt Gij hem gegrondvest. 13 Gij zijt te rein van ogen, dan dat Gij het kwade zoudt zien, en de kwelling kunt Gij niet aanschouwen; waarom zoudt Gij aanschouwen die trouwelooslijk handelen? Waarom zoudt Gij zwijgen, als de goddeloze dien verslindt, die rechtvaardiger is dan hij? 14 En waarom zoudt Gij de mensen maken, als de vissen der zee, als het kruipend gedierte, dat geen heerser heeft? 15 Hij trekt ze allen met den angel op, hij vergadert ze in zijn garen, en hij verzamelt ze in zijn net; daarom verblijdt en verheugt hij zich. 16 Daarom offert hij aan zijn garen, en rookt aan zijn net; want door dezelve is zijn deel vet geworden, en zijn spijze smoutig. 17 Zal hij dan daarom altoos zijn garen ledig maken, en zal hij niet verschonen, met altoos de volken te doden?

  2 H3068 HEERE H5704 ! hoe H575 lang H7768 H8765 schreeuw ik H8085 H8799 , en Gij hoort H3808 niet H2199 H8799 , [hoe] [lang] roep ik H2555 geweld H413 , tot H3467 H8686 U, en Gij verlost H3808 niet!
  3 H4100 Waarom H205 laat Gij mij ongerechtigheid H7200 H8686 zien H5027 H8686 , en aanschouwt H5999 de kwelling H7701 ? Want verwoesting H2555 en geweld H5048 is tegen mij over H1961 H8799 , en er is H7379 twist H5375 H0 , en men neemt H4066 gekijf H5375 H8799 op.
  4 H5921 H3651 Daarom H8451 wordt de wet H6313 H8799 onderlaten H4941 , en het recht H3318 H0 komt H3808 H5331 nimmermeer H3318 H8799 voort H3588 ; want H7563 de goddeloze H3803 H8688 omringt H6662 den rechtvaardige H5921 H3651 ; daarom H3318 H0 komt H4941 het recht H6127 H8794 verdraaid H3318 H8799 voor.

  7 H366 Schrikkelijk H3372 H8737 en vreselijk H1931 is hetzelve H4941 ; zijn recht H7613 en zijn hoogheid H3318 H0 gaat H4480 van hemzelven H3318 H8799 uit.
  8 H5483 Want zijn paarden H7043 H8804 zijn lichter H5246 dan de luipaarden H2300 H8804 , en zij zijn scherper H6153 H2061 dan de avondwolven H6571 , en zijn ruiters H6335 H8804 verspreiden zich H6571 ; ja, zijn ruiters H4480 zullen van H7350 verre H935 H8799 komen H5774 H8799 , zij zullen vliegen H5404 als een arend H2363 H8804 , zich spoedende H398 H8800 om te eten.

  10 H1931 En hij H4428 zal de koningen H7046 H8691 beschimpen H7336 H8802 , en de prinsen H4890 zullen hem een belaching H1931 zijn; hij H3605 zal alle H4013 vesting H7832 H8799 belachen H6083 ; want hij zal stof H6651 H8799 vergaderen H3920 H8799 , en hij zal ze innemen.
  11 H227 Dan H7307 zal hij den geest H2498 H8804 veranderen H5674 H8799 , en hij zal doortrekken H816 H8804 , en zich schuldig maken H2098 , [houdende] deze H3581 zijn kracht H433 voor zijn God.
  12 H859 Zijt Gij H3808 niet H6924 van ouds H3068 af de HEERE H430 , mijn God H6918 , mijn Heilige H3808 ? Wij zullen niet H4191 H8799 sterven H3068 ; o HEERE H4941 ! tot een oordeel H7760 H8804 hebt Gij hem gesteld H6697 , en o Rots H3198 H8687 ! om te straffen H3245 H8804 , hebt Gij hem gegrondvest.
  13 H2889 Gij zijt te rein H5869 van ogen H4480 , dan dat H7451 Gij het kwade H7200 H8800 zoudt zien H413 , en H5999 de kwelling H3201 H8799 kunt Gij H3808 niet H5027 H8687 aanschouwen H4100 ; waarom H5027 H8686 zoudt Gij aanschouwen H898 H8802 die trouwelooslijk handelen H2790 H8686 ? [Waarom] zoudt Gij zwijgen H7563 , als de goddeloze H1104 H8763 dien verslindt H6662 , die rechtvaardiger H4480 is dan hij?
  14 H120 En [waarom] zoudt Gij de mensen H6213 H8799 maken H1709 , als de vissen H3220 der zee H7431 , als het kruipend gedierte H3808 , dat geen H4910 H8802 heerser heeft?
  15 H5927 H0 Hij trekt H3605 ze allen H2443 met den angel H5927 H8689 op H1641 H8799 , hij vergadert H2764 ze in zijn garen H622 H8799 , en hij verzamelt H4365 ze in zijn net H5921 H3651 ; daarom H8055 H8799 verblijdt H1523 H8799 en verheugt hij zich.

Giguet(i) 1 ¶ Vision d’Habacuc, le prophète. 2 Jusques à quand, Seigneur, crierai-je sans que Tu m’écoutes? Jusques à quand Te crierai-je que l’on me fait violence? N’en me sauveras-Tu pas? 3 Pourquoi m’as-Tu affligé et m’as-Tu donné la douleur de voir la misère et l’impiété? Je suis en procès, et le juge reçoit des présents. 4 À cause de cela, la loi a été déchirée, et le jugement n’arrivera pas à bonne fin, parce que l’impie opprime le juste, et la sentence sera torturée. 5 ¶ Voyez, contempteurs de la loi, regardez et admirez ces merveilles, et soyez anéantis: car, de vos jours, Je vais faire une œuvre que vous ne croirez pas, quoiqu’on vous l’annonce. 6 Voilà que Je vais susciter les Chaldéens, nation cruelle et rapide, qui marche sur les plaines de la terre, pour prendre possession de tentes qui ne sont point les siennes. 7 Redoutable et fameuse, c’est d’elle que le jugement procédera; tout son butin proviendra d’elle-même. 8 Et ses chevaux s’élanceront plus agiles que le léopard; ils courront plus rapides que les loups de l’Arabie. Et ses cavaliers sortiront à cheval, et ils prendront de loin leur élan, et ils se déploieront comme l’aigle ardent à dévorer sa proie. 9 La perdition tombera sur les impies qui leur feront face, et leur tiendront tête; et l’envahisseur emmènera des captifs aussi nombreux que les grains de sable. 10 Et il se raillera des rois, et les tyrans seront pour lui des jouets, et il rira de chaque forteresse, et il l’entourera de levées de terre, et il la prendra de force. 11 Alors son esprit changera, et il se transformera, et il fera pitié; telle est la force de mon Dieu. 12 ¶ Seigneur, mon Dieu et mon Saint, n’es-Tu pas dès le commencement? Est-ce que nous mourrons? Tu as établi ces choses pour le jugement, et Tu m’as formé, Seigneur, pour annoncer Ton châtiment. 13 L’œil du Seigneur est trop dur pour regarder le mal et s’arrêter sur les labeurs de l’affliction. Pourquoi, Seigneur, considères-Tu ceux qui Te méprisent? Pourquoi gardes-Tu le silence quand l’impie dévore le juste? 14 Traites-Tu les hommes comme les poissons de la mer, ou comme les reptiles qui n’ont point de guide? 15 Il a pris toute l’espèce à l’hameçon; il en a tiré un avec le filet; il en a enfermé un autre dans sa nasse. À cause de cela, il sera plein d’allégresse, et se réjouira en son cœur. 16 À cause de cela, il sacrifiera à sa nasse, il encensera son filet, parce qu’avec leur aide il aura engraissé sa part, et recueilli des aliments de choix. 17 Et, à cause de cela, il jettera encore son filet, et ne se fera jamais faute de tuer les nations.
DarbyFR(i) 1
L'oracle qu'a vu Habakuk, le prophète. 2 Jusques à quand, Éternel, crierai-je, et tu n'entendras pas? Je crie à toi: Violence! et tu ne sauves pas. 3 Pourquoi me fais-tu voir l'iniquité, et contemples-tu l'oppression? La dévastation et la violence sont devant moi, et il y a contestation, et la discorde s'élève. 4 C'est pourquoi la loi reste impuissante, et le juste jugement ne vient jamais au jour; car le méchant cerne le juste; c'est pourquoi le jugement sort perverti. 5
Voyez parmi les nations, et regardez, et soyez stupéfaits; car je ferai en vos jours une oeuvre que vous ne croirez pas, si elle vous est racontée. 6 Car voici, je suscite les Chaldéens, la nation cruelle et impétueuse, qui marche par la largeur de la terre pour prendre possession de domiciles qui ne lui appartiennent pas. 7 Elle est formidable et terrible; son jugement et sa dignité procèdent d'elle-même. 8 Ses chevaux sont plus rapides que les léopards, plus agiles que les loups du soir; et ses cavaliers s'élancent fièrement, et ses cavaliers viennent de loin: ils volent comme l'aigle se hâte pour dévorer. 9 Ils viennent tous pour la violence; leurs faces sont toutes ensemble tournées en avant; ils rassemblent les captifs comme le sable. 10 Et il se moque des rois, et les princes lui sont une risée; il se rit de toutes les forteresses: il entassera de la poussière et les prendra. 11 Alors il changera de pensée, et passera outre et péchera: cette puissance qu'il a, est devenue son dieu! 12
-Toi, n'es-tu pas de toute ancienneté, Éternel, mon Dieu, mon Saint? Nous ne mourrons pas! O Éternel, tu l'as établi pour le jugement, et tu l'as fondé, ô Rocher, pour châtier. 13 Tu as les yeux trop purs pour voir le mal, et tu ne peux contempler l'oppression. Pourquoi contemples-tu ceux qui agissent perfidement, et gardes-tu le silence quand le méchant engloutit celui qui est plus juste que lui? 14 Tu rends aussi les hommes comme les poissons de la mer, comme la bête rampante qui n'a personne qui la gouverne. 15 Il les fait tous monter avec l'hameçon; il les tire dans son filet, et les rassemble dans son rets; c'est pourquoi il se réjouit et s'égaie: 16 c'est pourquoi il sacrifie à son filet, et brûle de l'encens à son rets, parce que, par leur moyen, sa portion est grasse et sa nourriture succulente. 17 Videra-t-il pour cela son filet, et égorgera-t-il toujours les nations, sans épargner?
Martin(i) 1 La charge qu'Habacuc le Prophète a vue. 2 Ô Eternel! jusques à quand crierai-je, sans que tu m'écoutes ? jusques à quand crierai-je vers toi, on me traite avec violence, sans que tu me délivres ? 3 Pourquoi me fais-tu voir l'outrage, et vois-tu la perversité ? Pourquoi y a-t-il du dégât et de la violence devant moi, et des gens qui excitent des procès et des querelles ? 4 Parce que la Loi est sans force, et que la justice ne se fait jamais, à cause de cela le méchant environne le juste, et à cause de cela le jugement sort tout corrompu. 5 Regardez entre les nations, et voyez, et soyez étonnés et tout interdits, car je m'en vais faire en votre temps une oeuvre que vous ne croirez point quand on vous la racontera. 6 Car voici, je m'en vais susciter les Caldéens, qui sont une nation cruelle et impétueuse, marchant sur l'étendue de la terre, pour posséder des demeures qui ne lui appartiennent pas. 7 Elle est affreuse et terrible, son gouvernement et son autorité viendra d'elle même. 8 Ses chevaux sont plus légers que les léopards, et ils ont la vue plus aiguë que les loups du soir; et ses gens de cheval se répandront çà et là, même ses gens de cheval viendront de loin; ils voleront comme un aigle qui se hâte pour repaître. 9 Elle viendra toute pour faire le dégât; ce qu'ils engloutiront de leurs regards sera porté vers l'Orient, et elle amassera les prisonniers comme du sable. 10 Elle se moque des Rois, et se joue des Princes; elle se rit de toutes les forteresses, en faisant des terrasses, elle les prendra. 11 Alors elle renforcera son courage, et passera outre, mais elle se rendra coupable, en disant que cette puissance qu'elle a est de son Dieu. 12 N'es-tu pas de toute éternité, ô Eternel! mon Dieu! mon Saint ? Nous ne mourrons point; ô Eternel! Tu l'as mis pour faire jugement; et toi, mon Rocher, tu l'as fondé pour punir. 13 Tu as les yeux trop purs pour voir le mal, et tu ne saurais prendre plaisir à regarder le mal, qu'on fait à autrui. Pourquoi regarderais-tu les perfides, et te tairais-tu quand le méchant dévore son prochain qui est plus juste que lui ? 14 Or tu as fait les hommes comme les poissons de la mer, et comme le reptile qui n'a point de dominateur. 15 Il a tout enlevé avec l'hameçon; il l'a amassé avec son filet, et l'a assemblé dans son rets; c'est pourquoi il se réjouira, et s'égayera. 16 A cause de cela il sacrifiera à son filet, et fera des encensements à son rets, parce qu'il aura eu par leur moyen une grasse portion, et que sa viande est une chose moelleuse. 17 Videra-t-il à cause de cela son filet ? et ne cessera-t-il jamais de faire le carnage des nations ?
Segond(i) 1 Oracle révélé à Habakuk, le prophète. 2 Jusqu'à quand, ô Eternel?... J'ai crié, Et tu n'écoutes pas! J'ai crié vers toi à la violence, Et tu ne secours pas! 3 Pourquoi me fais-tu voir l'iniquité, Et contemples-tu l'injustice? Pourquoi l'oppression et la violence sont-elles devant moi? Il y a des querelles, et la discorde s'élève. 4 Aussi la loi n'a point de vie, La justice n'a point de force; Car le méchant triomphe du juste, Et l'on rend des jugements iniques. 5 Jetez les yeux parmi les nations, regardez, Et soyez saisis d'étonnement, d'épouvante! Car je vais faire en vos jours une oeuvre, Que vous ne croiriez pas si on la racontait. 6 Voici, je vais susciter les Chaldéens, Peuple furibond et impétueux, Qui traverse de vastes étendues de pays, Pour s'emparer de demeures qui ne sont pas à lui. 7 Il est terrible et formidable; De lui seul viennent son droit et sa grandeur. 8 Ses chevaux sont plus rapides que les léopards, Plus agiles que les loups du soir, Et ses cavaliers s'avancent avec orgueil; Ses cavaliers arrivent de loin, Ils volent comme l'aigle qui fond sur sa proie. 9 Tout ce peuple vient pour se livrer au pillage; Ses regards avides se portent en avant, Et il assemble des prisonniers comme du sable. 10 Il se moque des rois, Et les princes font l'objet de ses railleries; Il se rit de toutes les forteresses, Il amoncelle de la terre, et il les prend. 11 Alors son ardeur redouble, Il poursuit sa marche, et il se rend coupable. Sa force à lui, voilà son dieu! 12 N'es-tu pas de toute éternité, Eternel, mon Dieu, mon Saint? Nous ne mourrons pas! O Eternel, tu as établi ce peuple pour exercer tes jugements; O mon rocher, tu l'as suscité pour infliger tes châtiments. 13 Tes yeux sont trop purs pour voir le mal, Et tu ne peux pas regarder l'iniquité. Pourquoi regarderais-tu les perfides, et te tairais-tu, Quand le méchant dévore celui qui est plus juste que lui? 14 Traiterais-tu l'homme comme les poissons de la mer, Comme le reptile qui n'a point de maître? 15 Il les fait tous monter avec l'hameçon, Il les attire dans son filet, Il les assemble dans ses rets: Aussi est-il dans la joie et dans l'allégresse. 16 C'est pourquoi il sacrifie à son filet, Il offre de l'encens à ses rets; Car par eux sa portion est grasse, Et sa nourriture succulente. 17 Videra-t-il pour cela son filet, Et toujours égorgera-t-il sans pitié les nations?

  15 H5927 Il les fait tous monter H8689   H2443 avec l’hameçon H1641 , Il les attire H8799   H2764 dans son filet H622 , Il les assemble H8799   H4365 dans ses rets H8055  : Aussi est-il dans la joie H8799   H1523 et dans l’allégresse H8799  .
  16 H2076 C’est pourquoi il sacrifie H8762   H2764 à son filet H6999 , Il offre de l’encens H8762   H4365 à ses rets H1992  ; Car par eux H2506 sa portion H8082 est grasse H3978 , Et sa nourriture H1277 succulente.

SE(i) 1 La carga que vio Habacuc profeta. 2 ¿Hasta cuándo, oh SEÑOR, clamaré, y no oirás; y daré voces a ti a causa de la violencia, y no salvarás? 3 ¿Por qué me haces ver iniquidad, y haces que mire molestia, y destrucción y violencia delante de mí, habiendo además quien levante pleito y contienda? 4 Por lo cual la ley es debilitada, y el juicio no sale verdadero; por cuanto el impío asedia al justo, por eso sale torcido el juicio. 5 Mirad entre los gentiles, y ved, y maravillaos pasmosamente; porque obra será hecha en vuestros días, que aun cuando se os contare, no la creeréis. 6 Porque he aquí, yo levanto a los caldeos, gente amarga y presurosa, que camina por la anchura de la tierra para poseer las habitaciones ajenas. 7 Espantosa es y terrible; de ella misma saldrá su derecho y su grandeza. 8 Y serán sus caballos más ligeros que tigres, y más agudos que lobos de tarde; y sus jinetes se multiplicarán; vendrán de lejos sus caballeros, y volarán como águilas que se apresuran a la comida. 9 Toda ella vendrá a la presa; delante de sus caras viento solano; y juntará cautivos como arena. 10 Y él escarnecerá de los reyes, y de los príncipes hará burla; él se reirá de toda fortaleza, y amontonará polvo, y la tomará. 11 Entonces él se ensoberbecerá contra Dios, y pasará adelante, y ofenderá atribuyendo ésta su potencia a su dios. 12 ¿No eres tú desde el principio, oh SEÑOR, Dios mío, Santo mío? No moriremos oh SEÑOR, para juicio lo pusiste; y fuerte lo fundaste para castigar. 13 Limpio eres de ojos para no ver el mal, ni puedes ver el agravio; ¿por qué ves a los menospreciadores, y callas cuando destruye el impío al más justo que él. 14 Y haces que sean los hombres como los peces del mar, como reptiles que no tienen señor? 15 Sacará a todos con su anzuelo, los cogerá con su malla, y los juntará en su red; por lo cual se regocijará y hará alegrías. 16 Por esto hará sacrificios a su malla, y ofrecerá sahumerios a su red; porque con ellos engordó su porción, y engrasó su comida. 17 ¿Vaciará por eso su red, o tendrá piedad de matar gentiles continuamente?
ReinaValera(i) 1 LA carga que vió Habacuc profeta. 2 ¿Hasta cuándo, oh Jehová, clamaré, y no oirás; y daré voces á ti á causa de la violencia, y no salvarás? 3 ¿Por qué me haces ver iniquidad, y haces que mire molestia, y saco y violencia delante de mí, habiendo además quien levante pleito y contienda? 4 Por lo cual la ley es debilitada, y el juicio no sale verdadero: por cuanto el impío asedia al justo, por eso sale torcido el juicio. 5 Mirad en las gentes, y ved, y maravillaos pasmosamente; porque obra será hecha en vuestros días, que aun cuando se os contare, no la creeréis. 6 Porque he aquí, yo levanto los Caldeos, gente amarga y presurosa, que camina por la anchura de la tierra para poseer las habitaciones ajenas. 7 Espantosa es y terrible: de ella misma saldrá su derecho y su grandeza. 8 Y serán sus caballos más ligeros que tigres, y más agudos que lobos de tarde; y sus jinetes se multiplicarán: vendrán de lejos sus caballeros, y volarán como águilas que se apresuran á la comida. 9 Toda ella vendrá á la presa: delante su sus caras viento solano; y juntará cautivos como arena. 10 Y escarnecerá de los reyes, y de los príncipes hará burla: reiráse de toda fortaleza, y amontonará polvo, y la tomará. 11 Luego mudará espíritu, y pasará adelante, y ofenderá atribuyendo esta su potencia á su dios. 12 ¿No eres tú desde el principio, oh Jehová, Dios mío, Santo mío? No moriremos. Oh Jehová, para juicio lo pusiste; y tú, oh Roca, lo fundaste para castigar. 13 Muy limpio eres de ojos para ver el mal, ni puedes ver el agravio: ¿por qué ves los menospreciadores, y callas cuando destruye el impío al más justo que él. 14 Y haces que sean los hombres como los peces de la mar, como reptiles que no tienen señor? 15 Sacará á todos con anzuelo, cogerálos con su red, y juntarálos en su aljerife: por lo cual se holgará y hará alegrías. 16 Por esto hará sacrificios á su red, y ofrecerá sahumerios á su aljerife: porque con ellos engordó su porción, y engrasó su comida. 17 ¿Vaciará por eso su red, ó tendrá piedad de matar gentes continuamente?

Albanian(i) 1 Profecia që pati në vegim profeti Habakuk. 2 Deri kur, o Zot, do të bërtas dhe ti nuk do të më dëgjosh? Unë këlthas: "Dhunë!", por ti nuk jep shpëtim. 3 Përse më bën të shikoj paudhësinë dhe më bën të shoh çoroditjen? Përpara meje qëndron grabitja dhe dhuna, ka grindje dhe përçarja po shtohet. 4 Prandaj ligji nuk ka forcë dhe drejtësia nuk ia del të fitojë, sepse i pabesi e mashtron të drejtin dhe drejtësia shtrëmbërohet. 5 "Shikoni midis kombeve dhe këqyrni, do të mbeteni të habitur dhe të shastisur, sepse unë do të kryej në ditët tuaja një vepër, që ju nuk do ta besonit edhe sikur t'jua tregonin. 6 Sepse ja, unë do t'i nxis Kaldeasit, komb mizor dhe i furishëm, që përshkon dheun në gjerësinë e tij për të shtënë në dorë banesa jo të vetat. 7 Éshtë i tmerrshëm, i llahtarshëm; gjykimi i tij dhe dinjiteti i tij dalin nga ai vetë. 8 Kuajt e tij janë më të shpejtë se leopardët, më të egër se ujqërit e mbrëmjes. Kalorësit e tyre përhapen kudo, kalorësit e tyre vijnë nga larg, fluturojnë si shqiponja që sulet mbi gjahun për ta gllabëruar. 9 Vijnë të gjithë për të bërë dhunë, fytyrat e tyre shtyhen përpara dhe grumbullojnë robër si rëra. 10 Ai tallet me mbretërit dhe princat janë për të objekt talljeje; përqesh çfarëdo fortese, sepse mbledh pak dhe, dhe e pushton. 11 Pastaj përparon shpejt si era, kalon tutje dhe e bën veten fajtor, duke ia atribuar këtë forcë të tij perëndisë së vet". 12 A nuk je që nga fillimet, o Zot, Perëndia im, i shenjti im? Ne nuk do të vdesim, o Zot, sepse ti e ke caktuar për të bërë drejtësi dhe e ke caktuar, o Shkëmb, për të ndëshkuar. 13 Ti i ke sytë tepër të pastër për të parë të keqen dhe nuk e shikon dot paudhësinë. Pse rri dhe shikon ata që veprojnë me hile, dhe hesht kur i ligu gllabëron atë që është më i drejtë se ai? 14 Pse i bën njerëzit si peshqit e detit dhe si rrëshqanorët, që nuk kanë zot? 15 Ai i zë të gjithë me grep, i zë me rrjetën e tij dhe i mbledh me rrjetën e tij të peshkimit; pastaj kënaqet dhe ngazëllon. 16 Prandaj i bën flijime rrjetës së tij dhe djeg temjan për rrjetën e tij, sepse me to pjesa e tij është e madhe dhe ushqimi i tij i bollshëm. 17 A do të vazhdojë ai, pra, të zbrazë rrjetën e tij dhe të masakrojë kombet pa mëshirë?
RST(i) 1 Пророческое видение, которое видел пророк Аввакум. 2 Доколе, Господи, я буду взывать, и Ты не слышишь, буду вопиять к Тебе о насилии, и Ты не спасаешь? 3 Для чего даешь мне видеть злодейство и смотреть набедствия? Грабительство и насилие предо мною, и восстает вражда и поднимается раздор. 4 От этого закон потерял силу, и суда правильного нет: так как нечестивый одолевает праведного, то и суд происходит превратный. 5 Посмотрите между народами и внимательно вглядитесь,и вы сильно изумитесь; ибо Я сделаю во дни ваши такое дело, которому вы не поверили бы, если бы вам рассказывали. 6 Ибо вот, Я подниму Халдеев, народ жестокий и необузданный, который ходит по широтам земли, чтобы завладеть не принадлежащими ему селениями. 7 Страшен и грозен он; от него самого происходит суд его и власть его. 8 Быстрее барсов кони его и прытче вечерних волков; скачет в разные стороны конница его; издалека приходят всадники его, прилетают как орел, бросающийся на добычу. 9 Весь он идет для грабежа; устремив лице свое вперед, он забираетпленников, как песок. 10 И над царями он издевается, и князья служат ему посмешищем; над всякою крепостью онсмеется: насыплет осадный вал и берет ее. 11 Тогда надмевается дух его, и он ходит и буйствует; сила его – бог его. 12 Но не Ты ли издревле Господь Бог мой, Святый мой? мы не умрем! Ты, Господи, толькодля суда попустил его. Скала моя! для наказания Ты назначил его. 13 Чистым очам Твоим не свойственно глядеть на злодеяния, и смотреть на притеснение Ты не можешь; для чего же Ты смотришь на злодеев и безмолвствуешь, когданечестивец поглощает того, кто праведнее его, 14 и оставляешь людей как рыбу в море, как пресмыкающихся, у которых нет властителя? 15 Всех их таскает удою, захватывает в сеть свою и забирает их в неводы свои, и от того радуется и торжествует. 16 За то приносит жертвы сети своей и кадит неводу своему, потому что от них тучна часть его и роскошна пища его. 17 Неужели для этого он должен опорожнять свою сеть и непрестанно избивать народы безпощады?
Arabic(i) 1 الوحي الذي رآه حبقوق النبي ـــ 2 حتى متى يا رب ادعو وانت لا تسمع اصرخ اليك من الظلم وانت لا تخلّص. 3 لم تريني اثما وتبصر جورا. وقدامي اغتصاب وظلم ويحدث خصام وترفع المخاصمة نفسها. 4 لذلك جمدت الشريعة ولا يخرج الحكم بتّة لان الشرير يحيط بالصدّيق فلذلك يخرج الحكم معوّجا 5 انظروا بين الامم وابصروا وتحيّروا حيرة. لاني عامل عملا في ايامكم لا تصدقون به ان أخبر به. 6 فهانذا مقيم الكلدانيين الامّة المرّة القاحمة السالكة في رحاب الارض لتملك مساكن ليست لها. 7 هي هائلة ومخوفة. من قبل نفسها يخرج حكمها وجلالها. 8 وخيلها اسرع من النمور وأحدّ من ذئاب المساء وفرسانها ينتشرون وفرسانها يأتون من بعيد ويطيرون كالنسر المسرع الى الأكل. 9 ياتون كلهم للظلم. منظر وجوههم الى قدام ويجمعون سبيا كالرمل. 10 وهي تسخر من الملوك والرؤساء ضحكة لها. وتضحك على كل حصن وتكوّم التراب وتاخذه. 11 ثم تتعدّى روحها فتعبر وتأثم. هذه قوتها الهها 12 ألست انت منذ الازل يا رب الهي قدوسي. لا نموت. يا رب للحكم جعلتها ويا صخر للتأديب اسستها. 13 عيناك اطهر من ان تنظرا الشر ولا تستطيع النظر الى الجور فلم تنظر الى الناهبين وتصمت حين يبلع الشرير من هو ابرّ منه. 14 وتجعل الناس كسمك البحر كدبابات لا سلطان لها. 15 تطلع الكل بشصّها وتصطادهم بشبكتها وتجمعهم في مصيدتها فلذلك تفرح وتبتهج. 16 لذلك تذبح لشبكتها وتبخّر لمصيدتها لانه بهما سمن نصيبها وطعامها مسمّن. 17 أفلأجل هذا تفرغ شبكتها ولا تعفو عن قتل الامم دائما
Bulgarian(i) 1 Наложеното пророчество, което пророк Авакум видя: 2 Докога, ГОСПОДИ, ще викам, а Ти няма да чуваш? Викам към Теб: Насилие! — но не спасяваш. 3 Защо ме оставяш да виждам беззаконие и гледаш нещастие? И опустошение и насилие има пред мен, и възниква караница и се надига раздор. 4 Затова законът е безсилен и правосъдието вечно не излиза към победа, защото безбожният обкръжава праведния и правосъдието излиза изкривено. 5 Погледнете между народите и вижте, и се почудете много, защото върша едно дело във вашите дни — няма да повярвате дори да ви се разкаже. 6 Защото, ето, Аз надигам халдейците — жесток и необуздан народ, който ходи по земната шир, за да завладее селища, които не са негови. 7 Страшен и ужасен е той, правото му и достойнството му излизат от самия него. 8 По-бързи от леопарди са конете му и по-свирепи от вълци вечер; конниците му препускат, конниците му идват отдалеч, долитат като орел, който се спуска към храната. 9 Те всички идват за насилие, лицата им са устремени напред и той събира пленници като пясък. 10 Присмива се на царете и князете са му за присмех; на всяка крепост той се смее, натрупва пръст и я превзема. 11 Тогава преминава като вятър и продължава, но ще бъде счетен за виновен — силата му е негов бог. 12 Не си ли Ти от начало, ГОСПОДИ, Боже мой, Свети мой! Няма да умрем. ГОСПОДИ, за съд си ги поставил; Силни, за наказание си ги определил. 13 Очите Ти са твърде чисти, за да гледаш злото и не можеш да погледнеш нещастие. Защо гледаш на коварните и мълчиш, когато безбожният поглъща по-праведния от него, 14 и правиш хората като морските риби, като гадините, които си нямат владетел? 15 Той изтегля всички с въдица, влачи ги в мрежата си и ги събира в рибарската си мрежа, затова се радва и се весели. 16 Затова жертва на мрежата си и кади на рибарската си мрежа, защото чрез тях делът му е тлъст и ястието му — избрано. 17 Дали затова ще изпразни мрежата си и постоянно ще избива народи без милост?
Croatian(i) 1 Proroštvo koje vidje prorok Habakuk. 2 Dokle ću, Jahve, zapomagati, a da ti ne čuješ? Vikati k tebi "Nasilje!" a da ti ne spasiš? 3 Zašto mi nepravdu iznosiš pred oči, zašto gledaš ugnjetavanje? Pljačka je i nasilje preda mnom. Raspra je, razmirica bjesni! 4 Zakon je izgubio snagu, a pravda se ni načas ne pomalja. Da, zlikovac progoni pravednika, pravo je stoga izopačeno. 5 Obazrite se na narode, pogledajte, čudite se, zapanjite! Jer u vaše dane činim djelo u koje ne biste vjerovali da vam ga tko ispriča. 6 Da! Evo dižem Kaldejce, narod divlji i naprasit što nadire širom zemlje da obitavališta otme tuđa. 7 On je strašan i jezovit, od njega samog izlazi njegovo pravo i njegov ponos. 8 Konji su mu brži od leoparda, hitriji od vukova uvečer; jahači mu poskakuju, stižu izdaleka, ustremljeni k'o orlovi da plijen proždru. 9 Svi će doći rad' grabeža, lica im žegu k'o istočni vjetar, grabe roblje kao pijesak! 10 Taj se narod kraljevima ruga, podsmjehuje knezovima, poigrava se svim utvrdama, nasipa zemlju i zauzima ih. 11 Tad se k'o vjetar okrenu i ode, zlikovac komu je snaga bog postala. 12 Nisi li od davnih vremena, Jahve, Bože moj, Sveče moj? Ti koji ne umireš! Ti si, Jahve podigao ovaj narod radi pravde, postavio ga, Stijeno, da kažnjava. 13 Prečiste su tvoje oči da bi zloću gledale. Ti ne možeš motriti tlačenja. Zašto gledaš vjerolomce, šutiš kad zlikovac ništi pravednijeg od sebe? 14 Postupaš s ljudima k'o s morskim ribama, k'o s gmazovima što nemaju gospodara! 15 On ih sve lovi na udicu, izvlači ih mrežom, pređom ih skuplja i tako se raduje i likuje. 16 Stog žrtvuje mreži svojoj, pali tamjan svojoj pređi jer mu pribavljaju zalogaj slastan, hranu pretilu. 17 Valja li, dakle, da neprestano poteže mač i kolje narod nemilice?
BKR(i) 1 Břímě, kteréž u vidění viděl Abakuk prorok. 2 Až dokud, ó Hospodine, křičeti budu, a nevyslyšíš? Volati budu k tobě pro nátisk, a nespomůžeš? 3 Proč dopouštíš, abych hleděti musil na nepravost, a na bezpráví se dívati, též na zhoubu a na nátisk proti mně? A vždy jest, kdož svár a různici vzbuzuje. 4 Odkudž se děje opuštění zákona, a nedochází nikdá soud. Nebo bezbožný obkličuje spravedlivého, pročež vychází soud převrácený. 5 Pohleďte na národy a popatřte, nýbrž s velikým podivením se užasněte, proto že dělám dílo ve dnech vašich, o němž když vypravováno bude, neuvěříte. 6 Nebo aj, já vzbudím Kaldejské, národ lítý a rychlý, kterýž zjezdí všecku širokost země, aby dědičně opanoval příbytky jiných, 7 Strašlivý a hrozný, od něhož soud jeho i vyvýšenost jeho vyjde. 8 Koni jeho rychlejší budou než rysové, a lítější nad vlky večerní; veliké množství bude jezdců jeho, kteřížto jezdci jeho zdaleka přijedou, a přiletí jako orlice, kteráž chvátá na pastvu. 9 Každý z nich k utiskování přijde, obrátíce tváři své k východu, když seberou jako písek zajaté. 10 Tentýž i králům se posmívati bude, a knížata smích jemu budou; tentýž každé pevnosti smáti se bude, a zdělaje náspy, dobude jí. 11 Tehdy promění se duch jeho, a přestoupí i zaviní, mysle, že ta moc jeho boha jeho jest. 12 Hospodine Bože můj, Svatý můj, zdaliž ty nejsi od věčnosti? Myť nezemřeme. Hospodine, k soudu postavil jsi jej, ty, ó skálo, k trestání nastrojil jsi ho. 13 Čistéť jsou tvé oči, tak že na zlé věci hleděti, a na bezpráví se dívati nemůžeš. Pročež přehlídati máš nešlechetníkům a mlčeti, poněvadž bezbožník sehlcuje spravedlivějšího, než sám jest. 14 A zanechávati lidí jako ryb mořských, jako zeměplazu, kterýž nemá pána? 15 Všecky napořád udicí vytahuje, zatahuje je sítí svou, a zahrnuje je nevodem svým, protož veselí se a pléše. 16 Protož síti své obětuje, a kadí nevodu svému; nebo skrze ně ztučněl díl jeho, a strava jeho zlepšena. 17 S tím-liž se vším předce zatahovati má sít svou, a ustavičně národy mordovati bez lítosti?
Danish(i) 1 Profetien, som Habakuk, Profeten, har skuet. 2 Hvor længe, HERRE! har jeg dog raabt, og du vil ikke høre! jeg raaber til dig over Vold, og du vil ikke frelse. 3 Hvorfor lader du mig skue Uret og ser selv paa Jammer? Ødelæggelse og Vold er for mit Ansigt, og der kom Trætte, og Kiv rejser sig. 4 Derfor er Lov magtesløs, og Ret kommer aldrig frem; thi de ugudelige omringe den retfærdige, derfor kommer Retten forvendt ud. 5 Ser ud iblandt Hedningerne, og skuer; forundrer eder, og vorder forundrede; thi jeg gør en Gerning i eders Dage, I vilde ikke tro den, naar den fortaltes. 6 Thi se, jeg opvækker Kaldæerne, et barsk og hastigt Folk, som farer frem, saa vidt som Jorden naar, for at tage Boliger til Eje, som ikke høre det til. 7 Frygteligt og forfærdeligt er det; fra det gaar dets Ret og Ovorhøjhed ud. 8 Og dets Heste ere lettere end Par dere og hidsigere end Ulve om Aftenen, og dets Ryttere brede sig ud, ja, dets Ryttere komme langt borte fra, de fiyve som en Ørn, der haster efter Æde. 9 Alt til Hobe komme de til Voldsdaad deres Ansigters Higen er fremad og det samler Fanger som Sand 10 det spotter Konger, og Fyrster ere til Latter for det; det le ad hver Befæstning, saa det dynge Støv op og indtager den. 11 Da farer det frem som en Stormvind og drager videre, saa at det paadrager sig Skyld; denne dets Kraft bliver til dets Gud. 12 Er du ikke fra fordums Tid HERREN, min Gud, min Hellige! vi skulle ikke dø; HERRE! du har sat det til Dom; o Klippe! du har grundfæstet det til at straffe os. 13 Du, som er ren af Øjne, saa at du ikke kan se paa ondt og ikke formaar at skue Jammer, hvorforl skuer du hen til de troløse; hvorfor tier du, naar den ugudelige opsluger den, som er retfærdigere end han? 14 Du gjorde da Menneskene som Fiske i Havet, som Krybet, der ingen Herre har. 15 Han drager dem alle sammen op med Krog, samler dem i sin Vod og sanker dem i sit Garn; derover glæder og fryder han sig. 16 Derfor ofrer han til sin Vod og bringer Røgoffer til sit Garn; thi ved dem er hans Del fed, og hans Mad er det fede. 17 Mon han derfor skal tømme sin Vod og altid slaa Folk ihjel uden Skaansel?

  4 H8451 因此律法 H6313 放鬆 H4941 ，公理 H5331 也不 H3318 顯明 H7563 ，惡人 H3803 圍困 H6662 義人 H4941 ，所以公理 H6127 H3318 顯然顛倒。
  5 H1471 耶和華說：你們要向列國 H5027 中觀看 H8539 ，大大 H8539 驚奇 H3117 ；因為在你們的時候 H6466 ，我行 H6467 一件事 H5608 ，雖有人告訴 H539 你們，你們總是不信。
  6 H6965 我必興起 H3778 迦勒底人 H4751 ，就是那殘忍 H4116 暴躁 H1471 之民 H1980 ，通行 H4800 遍 H776 地 H3423 ，佔據 H4908 那不屬自己的住處。

  8 H5483 他的馬 H5246 比豹 H7043 更快 H6153 ，比晚上 H2061 的豺狼 H2300 更猛 H6571 。馬兵 H6335 踴躍爭先 H7350 ，都從遠方 H935 而來 H5774 ；他們飛 H2363 跑 H5404 如鷹 H398 抓食 H5404 ，
  9 H2555 都為行強暴 H935 而來 H6440 ，定住臉面 H4041 向前 H7628 ，將擄掠的人 H622 聚集 H2344 ，多如塵沙。

  11 H3581 他以自己的勢力 H433 為神 H7307 ，像風 H2498 H5674 猛然掃過 H816 ，顯為有罪。

  13 H5869 你眼目 H2889 清潔 H7200 ，不看 H5027 邪僻，不看 H5999 奸惡 H898 ；行詭詐的 H5027 ，你為何看 H7563 著不理呢？惡人 H1104 吞滅 H6662 比自己公義 H2790 的，你為何靜默不語呢？
  14 H6213 你為何使 H120 人 H3220 如海 H1709 中的魚 H4910 ，又如沒有管轄 H7431 的爬物呢？
  15 H2443 他用鉤 H5927 鉤住 H2764 ，用網 H1641 捕獲 H4365 ，用拉網 H622 聚集 H8055 他們；因此，他歡喜 H1523 快樂，
  16 H2764 就向網 H2076 獻祭 H4365 ，向網 H6999 燒香 H1992 ，因他由此 H8082 得肥美 H2506 的分 H1277 和富裕 H3978 的食物。

Esperanto(i) 1 Profetajxo, kiun lauxvizie eldiris la profeto HXabakuk. 2 GXis kiam, ho Eternulo, mi krios, kaj Vi ne auxskultos, mi krios al Vi pri perfortajxo, kaj Vi ne helpos? 3 Kial Vi devigas min vidi maljustajxon, rigardi mizerajxon? Rabado kaj perfortado estas antaux mi, levigxas disputoj kaj malpaco. 4 Tial la instruo perdis sian forton, la justeco neniam venkas; cxar la malvirtulo superfortas la virtulon, tial la rezultoj de jugxo estas malgxustaj. 5 Rigardu la naciojn, rigardu, kaj vi forte miros; cxar en via tempo Mi faros ion, kion vi ne kredus, se oni rakontus al vi. 6 CXar jen Mi levos la HXaldeojn, nacion kruelan kaj lertan, kiu trairos la tutan largxon de la tero, por ekposedi logxejojn, kiuj ne apartenas al gxi. 7 Terura kaj timinda gxi estas; gxia jugxado kaj regado dependas de gxi mem. 8 Pli rapidaj ol leopardoj estas gxiaj cxevaloj, kaj pli lertaj ol lupoj vespere; en grandaj amasoj venas gxiaj rajdantoj de malproksime, flugas kiel aglo, kiu rapidas al mangxajxo. 9 CXiuj ili venas por rabi; kiel vento orienta ili direktas sin, kien ili volas; kaj ili kolektas kaptitojn kiel sablon. 10 Regxojn ili mokas, regantoj estas ridatajxo por ili; cxiun fortikajxon ili mokas; ili sxutas teron, kaj venkoprenas. 11 Tiam sxangxigxas ilia spirito, transiras kaj farigxas peka, kaj ilia forto farigxas ilia dio. 12 Sed Vi estas ja de cxiam, ho Eternulo, mia sankta Dio! ne lasu nin morti. Vi, ho Eternulo, aperigis ilin por jugxo; Vi, ho nia Roko, destinis ilin por puni. 13 Viaj okuloj estas tro puraj, por vidi malbonon, kaj rigardi maljustajxon Vi ne povas; kiel do Vi rigardas malhonestulojn, kaj silentas, kiam malpiulo englutas tiun, kiu estas pli virta ol li? 14 Kial Vi faras la homojn kiel fisxoj en la maro, kiel rampajxoj, kiuj ne havas reganton? 15 CXiujn ili tiras per fisxhoko, kaptas per sia reto, amasigas per sia fisxreto; kaj tial ili gxojas kaj triumfas. 16 Tial ili alportas oferojn al sia reto, incensas al sia fisxreto; cxar per cxi tiuj grasigxis ilia parto kaj bonigxis ilia mangxajxo. 17 CXu por tio ili devas jxetadi sian reton kaj sencxese mortigadi naciojn senindulge?
Finnish(i) 1 Tämä on se raskaus, jonka propheta Habakuk on nähnyt. 2 Herra, kuinka kauvan minun pitää huutaman, ja et sinä tahdo kuulla? kuinka kauvan minun pitää parkuman väkivallan tähden, ja et sinä tahdo auttaa? 3 Miksis minulle vaivaa ja työtä osoitat? miksis minun annat nähdä ryövyyttä ja väkivaltaa minun ympärilläni? riita ja tora saa vallan. 4 Sentähden hyljätään laki, ja oikeus ei koskaan saa edes käydä; sillä jumalatoin sortaa vanhurskasta, sentähden tehdään väärät tuomiot. 5 Katsokaat pakanain seassa, katsokaat ja ihmetelkäät, ja hämmästykäät; sillä minä teen työn teidän aikananne, jota ei teidän pidä uskoman, kuin siitä puhutaan. 6 Sillä katso, minä herätän Kaldealaiset, haikian ja nopian kansan, jonka pitä vaeltaman niin leviältä kuin maa on, ja omistaman ne asumiset, jotka ei heidän omansa ole; 7 Joka pitää hirmuinen ja julma oleman, käskemän ja vaatiman, niinkuin hän tahtoo. 8 Hänen hevosensa ovat nopiammat kuin pardit, ja purevaisemmat kuin sudet ehtoolla; hänen ratsasmiehensä vaeltavat lavialta; ja hänen ratsasmiehensä tulevat kaukaa, ja lentävät, niinkuin kotka rientää raadolle. 9 He tulevat kaikki vahingoittamaan; he kääntävät kasvonsa itään päin, ja kokoovat vankeja niinkuin santaa. 10 Heidän pitää kuninkaita pilkkaaman ja päämiehiä nauraman; kaikki linnat pitää heidän leikkinänsä oleman; sillä he tekevät vähät vallit, ja voittavat ne. 11 Silloin he muuttavat mielensä, ylitsekäyvät ja rikkovat, että he kerskaavat voimansa olevan jumalansa. 12 Etkös sinä, Herra, ole alusta, minun Jumalani, minun pyhäni. Älä anna meidän kuolla, vaan anna heidän olla, o Herra, meille ainoasti rangaistukseksi, ja anna heidän, o meidän turvamme, meitä ainoasti kurittaa. 13 Sinun silmäs ovat puhtaat, niin ettes voi pahaa nähdä, ja et tahdo katsoa surkeutta; miksis katsot siis ylönkatsojia, ja vaikenet, kuin jumalatoin nielee sen, joka häntä hurskaampi on? 14 Ja miksis teet ihmisen niinkuin kalat meressä, niinkuin madot, joilla ei haltiaa ole? 15 He onkivat kaikki ongella, ja vetävät nuotallansa ja saavat verkoillansa; josta he iloitsevat ja riemuitsevat. 16 Sentähden he uhraavat nuotillensa ja suitsuttavat verkoillensa; että heidän osansa niiden kautta lihavaksi tullut on, ja ruokansa herkulliseksi. 17 Sentähden he vielä alati heittävät nuottansa ulos, eikä lakkaa kansaa tappamasta.
FinnishPR(i) 1 Ennustus, jonka profeetta Habakuk näki. 2 Kuinka kauan, Herra, minun täytyy apua huutaa, ja sinä et kuule, parkua sinulle: "Väkivaltaa!" ja sinä et auta? 3 Minkätähden sinä annat minun nähdä vääryyttä ja itse katselet turmiota? Minun edessäni on hävitys ja väkivalta; on syntynyt riita, ja on noussut tora. 4 Sentähden on laki heikko, ja oikeus ei tule milloinkaan voimaan. Sillä jumalaton saartaa vanhurskaan; sentähden oikeus vääristetään. 5 Katsokaa kansojen joukkoon, katselkaa ja kauhistukaa, sillä minä teen teidän päivinänne teon, jota ette uskoisi, jos siitä kerrottaisiin. 6 Sillä katso, minä nostan kaldealaiset, tuiman ja rajun kansan, joka kulkee maata lavealti ja ottaa omaksensa asuinsijat, jotka eivät ole sen. 7 Se on hirmuinen ja peljättävä, siitä itsestään tulee sen oikeus ja sen korkeus. 8 Sen hevoset ovat nopeammat kuin pantterit, ne juoksevat kiivaammin kuin sudet illoin. Sen ratsumiehet kiidättävät-kaukaa tulevat sen ratsumiehet, ne lentävät, niinkuin kotka syöksyy syönnökselleen. 9 Se tulee kaikkinensa väkivallan tekoon, heidän kasvojensa suunta on suoraan eteenpäin; se kokoaa vankeja kuin hietaa. 10 Pilkkanaan pitää se kuninkaat ja naurunansa ruhtinaat. Se nauraa kaikille varustuksille, kasaa kokoon hiekkaa ja valloittaa ne. 11 Sitten se tuulena kiitää ja hyökkää, mutta joutuu syynalaiseksi, tuo, jolla oma voimansa on jumalana. 12 Etkö sinä ole ikiajoista asti Herra, minun pyhä Jumalani? Me emme kuole! Sinä, Herra, olet pannut sen tuomioksi; sinä, kallio, olet asettanut sen kuritukseksi. 13 Sinun silmäsi ovat puhtaat, niin ettet voi katsoa pahaa etkä saata katsella turmiota. Minkätähden sinä katselet uskottomia, olet vaiti, kun jumalaton nielee hurskaampansa, 14 teet ihmiset samankaltaisiksi kuin meren kalat, kuin matelevaiset, joilla ei ole hallitsijaa? 15 Se nostaa heidät kaikki ylös koukulla, vetää heidät pyydyksessään ja kokoaa heidät verkkoonsa. Sentähden se iloitsee ja riemuitsee. 16 Sentähden se uhraa pyydykselleen ja polttaa uhreja verkollensa, sillä niitten turvin sen osa on rasvainen, sen ruoka lihava. 17 Saako se sentähden tyhjentää pyydyksensä, aina surmata kansoja säälimättä?
Haitian(i) 1 Men mesaj Bondye te bay pwofèt Abakouk nan yon vizyon. 2 Seyè! Konbe tan ankò pou m' pase ap rele ou, ap mande ou sekou anvan pou ou tande m'? Konbe tan ankò pou m' pase ap rele nan zòrèy ou anvan pou ou vin delivre nou anba moun k'ap maltrete nou yo? 3 Poukisa w'ap fè m' wè tout mechanste sa yo? Ki jan ou ka rete kanpe konsa ap gade tout lenjistis sa yo? Se piyay ak mechanste ase ki devan je m'! Toupatou se goumen, se kont. 4 Lalwa a la, li pa sèvi anyen. Ou pa ka jwenn jistis. Mechan yo ap kraze moun k'ap mache dwat. Lajistis devan dèyè. 5 Seyè a pale ak pèp li a, li di: -Voye je nou gade nasyon ki bò kote nou yo. Nou pral sezi, nou pral tranble. Mwen pral fè yon travay devan je nou. Si se moun ki ta vin di nou sa, nou pa ta kwè. 6 M'ap fè moun peyi Kalde yo kanpe. Se yon pèp ki san pitye, ki san manman. Y'ap mache toupatou sou latè, y'ap pran peyi lòt pèp nan men yo. 7 Kote yo pase, yo fè moun pè yo. Yo pa nan jwèt ak pesonn. Yo pa pran lòd nan men pesonn. Yo fè sa yo pi pito. 8 Chwal yo kouri pi rèd pase chat mawon. Yo pi move pase chen mawon ki grangou. Kavalye yo soti byen lwen, y'ap kouri vini. Yo tankou malfini k'ap plonje sou poul. 9 Sòlda yo ap vini pou fè piyay. Tout moun pè lè yo wè yo ap pwoche, paske yo ranmase prizonye an kantite, san gad dèyè. 10 Y'ap pase wa yo nan betiz. Y'ap pase chèf yo nan rizib. Pa gen fò ki ka rete yo. Yo annik anpile tè bò miray yo, lèfini yo moute pran yo. 11 Yo pase tankou yon koutvan, yo kraze brize, epi y' al fè wout yo. Bondye yo se fòs yo gen nan ponyèt yo. Se nan sa yo kwè. 12 Seyè! Depi tout tan se ou ki Bondye. Ou se Bondye m', Bondye tout bon ki la pou tout tan an. Seyè, Bondye mwen, ou menm k'ap pwoteje m'! Se pèp sa a ou chwazi pou fè travay ou? Se pèp sa a ou voye pou pini nou? 13 Ou twò bon pou ou kite moun ap fè mechanste devan je ou konsa! Ou pa ka rete ap gade moun ap fè lenjistis devan ou konsa! Ki jan ou fè rete ap gade bann moun trèt sa yo? Poukisa ou pa di anyen lè mechan yo ap fini ak moun ki pi inonsan pase yo? 14 Kouman ou ka aji ak moun tankou si yo te pwason nan lanmè, tankou koulèv nan raje ki pa gen mèt? 15 Moun Babilòn yo pran moun nan zen tankou pwason. Yo rale yo nan senn, yo ranmase yo nan nas. Lèfini, yo kontan, y'ap fè fèt. 16 Se sak fè tou, yo fè ofrann bèt yo touye pou senn yo, yo boule lansan pou nas yo, paske se nan senn yo ak nan nas yo yo jwenn tout kalite bon pwason pou yo manje. 17 Eske yo pral toujou sèvi ak nepe yo san rete, pou yo touye moun lòt nasyon san yo pa gen pitye pou yo?
Hungarian(i) 1 A teher, a melyet Habakuk próféta látott. 2 Meddig kiáltok még oh Uram, és nem hallgatsz meg! Kiáltozom hozzád az erõszak miatt, és nem szabadítasz meg! 3 Miért láttatsz velem hamisságot, és szemléltetsz nyomorgatást? Pusztítás és erõszak van elõttem, per keletkezik és versengés támad! 4 Azért inog a törvény, és nem érvényesül az igaz ítélet; mert gonosz hálózza be az igazat, azért származik hamis ítélet! 5 Nézzetek szét a népek között, vizsgálódjatok és csodálkozással csodálkozzatok, mert oly dolgot cselekszem a ti napjaitokban, mit el sem hinnétek, ha beszélnék! 6 Mert ímé, feltámasztom a Káldeusokat, a kegyetlen és vakmerõ nemzetet, a mely eljárja a földet széltében, hogy hajlékokat foglaljon el, a melyek nem az övéi. 7 Rettenetes és iszonyatos ez, maga szerzi törvényét és hatalmát. 8 És lovai serényebbek a párduczoknál, és gyorsabbak az estveli farkasoknál, és elõtörtetnek az õ lovasai; és az õ lovasai messzirõl jõnek, repülnek, mint a zsákmányra sietõ keselyû. 9 Mindnyája ragadományért jön, arczuk elõre néz, és annyi foglyot gyûjt, mint a föveny. 10 Kaczag ez a királyokon, és a fejedelmek néki nevetség, minden erõsséget csak nevet, töltést emel és megostromolja azt. 11 Majd tovaszáll viharként és elvonul és bûnbe esik; õ kinek istene az õ hatalma. 12 Avagy nem te vagy-é Uram, öröktõl fogva az én Istenem, Szentem? Nem veszünk el! Ítéletre rendelted õt, oh Uram, fenyítõül választottad õt, én erõsségem! 13 Tisztábbak szemeid, hogysem nézhetnéd a gonoszt, és a nyomorgatást nem szemlélheted: miért szemléled [hát] a hitszegõket? [és] hallgatsz, mikor a gonosz elnyeli a nálánál igazabbat?! 14 Olyanokká teszed az embert, mint a tenger halai, és mint a csúszómászó állatok, a melyeknek nincsen vezérök? 15 Mindnyáját kivonsza horoggal, gyalomjába keríti, és hálójába takarítja be õket; ezért örül és vígad. 16 Ezért áldozik gyalomjának, és füstöl az õ hálójának, mert ezekkel kövér az õ része, és zsíros az õ eledele. 17 Vajjon azért ürítheti-é gyalmát, és szüntelen ölheti-é a nemzeteket kímélet nélkül?!
Indonesian(i) 1 Inilah pesan yang dinyatakan oleh TUHAN kepada Nabi Habakuk. 2 Ya TUHAN, sampai kapan aku harus berseru meminta pertolongan? Kapan Engkau akan mendengar dan menyelamatkan kami dari penindasan? 3 Mengapa Kaubiarkan aku melihat begitu banyak kejahatan? Masakan Engkau tahan melihat begitu banyak pelanggaran? Di mana-mana ada kehancuran dan kekerasan, perkelahian dan perselisihan. 4 Hukum diremehkan dan keadilan tak pernah ditegakkan. Orang jahat menjadi unggul atas orang yang jujur, maka keadilan diputarbalikkan. 5 Kemudian TUHAN berkata kepada umat-Nya, "Perhatikanlah bangsa-bangsa di sekitarmu, maka kamu akan heran dan tercengang. Sebab pada zamanmu Aku akan melakukan sesuatu, yang tidak kamu percayai kalau hanya diceritakan kepadamu. 6 Bangsa Babel yang galak dan ganas itu akan Kujadikan bangsa yang berkuasa. Mereka berbaris keluar dari negerinya dan menjelajahi seluruh dunia untuk menaklukkan bangsa-bangsa lain. 7 Di mana-mana mereka menimbulkan ketakutan; dengan sombong mereka menolak semua hukum kecuali yang sesuai dengan keinginan mereka. 8 Kudanya lebih cepat daripada macan tutul, dan lebih ganas daripada serigala yang sedang lapar. Pasukan berkudanya datang dari negeri-negeri jauh; mereka datang seperti burung elang yang menyambar mangsanya. 9 Tentaranya menyerbu untuk melakukan kekerasan, semua orang gentar melihat kedatangan mereka. Tawanan mereka tidak terhitung jumlahnya. 10 Mereka mengejek raja-raja dan menertawakan pegawai-pegawai tinggi. Dianggapnya remeh setiap benteng, dan ditimbunnya tanah lalu direbutnya benteng itu. 11 Lalu secepat angin berangkatlah orang-orang yang mendewakan kekuatannya sendiri itu." 12 TUHAN, sejak dahulu Engkau adalah Allah. Engkau Allahku yang suci dan kekal. TUHAN, Allahku dan pelindungku, bangsa Babel itu Kaupilih dan Kaubuat perkasa untuk menghukum kami. 13 Tetapi bagaimana Engkau tahan melihat orang-orang jahat yang kejam itu? Bukankah Engkau terlalu suci untuk memandang kejahatan? Bukankah Engkau merasa muak melihat ketidakadilan? Jadi, mengapa Engkau diam saja ketika orang yang saleh dihancurkan oleh pendurhaka? 14 Mengapa manusia Kauanggap seperti ikan di laut, dan seperti serangga yang tak ada pemimpinnya? 15 Bangsa Babel menangkap orang-orang dengan kail, seolah-olah mereka itu ikan. Orang-orang itu diseret dalam jala-jala dan bangsa Babel bersenang-senang dengan hasil mereka. 16 Kemudian jala itu mereka sembah dan mereka beri persembahan kurban, sebab dengan jala itu mereka telah mendapat rejeki berlimpah-limpah dan menjadi makmur. 17 Masakan mereka akan terus menghunus pedangnya dan membunuh bangsa-bangsa, tanpa ampun?
Italian(i) 1 Il carico che il profeta Abacuc vide. 2 INFINO a quando, o Signore, griderò io, e tu non mi esaudirai? infino a quando sclamerò a te: Violenza! e tu non salverai? 3 Perchè mi fai tu veder l’iniquità, e mi fai spettatore della perversità? e perchè vi è davanti a me rapina, e violenza? e vi è chi muove lite, e contesa? 4 Perciò, la legge è indebolita, e il giudicio non esce giammai fuori; perciocchè l’empio intornia il giusto; perciò esce il giudicio tutto storto. 5 Vedete fra le genti, e riguardate, e maravigliatevi, e siate stupefatti; perciocchè io fo un’opera a’ dì vostri, la quale voi non crederete, quando sarà raccontata. 6 Perciocchè ecco, io fo muovere i Caldei, quell’aspra e furiosa nazione, che cammina per tutta la larghezza della terra, per impodestarsi di stanze che non son sue. 7 Ella è fiera, e spaventevole; la sua ragione, e la sua altezza procede da lei stessa. 8 E i suoi cavalli saran più leggieri che pardi, e più rapaci che lupi in sul vespro; e i suoi cavalieri si spanderanno; e, venendo di lontano, voleranno, a guisa d’aquila che si affretta al pasto. 9 Ella verrà tutta per rapire; lo scontro delle lor facce sarà come un vento orientale; ed ella accoglierà prigioni a guisa di rena. 10 E si farà beffe dei re, ed i principi le saranno in derisione; si riderà d’ogni fortezza, e farà de’ terrati, e la prenderà. 11 Ma allora il vento si muterà, ed essa trapasserà, e sarà distrutta. Questa sarà la forza che le sarà data dal suo dio. 12 Non sei tu ab eterno, o Signore Iddio mio, Santo mio? noi non morremo. O Signore, tu l’hai posta per far giudicio; e tu, o Rocca, l’hai fondata per castigare. 13 Tu hai gli occhi troppo puri per vedere il male, e non puoi riguardare l’iniquità; perchè dunque riguardi i disleali? perchè taci, mentre l’empio tranghiottisce colui che è più giusto di lui? 14 E perchè hai renduti gli uomini simili a’ pesci del mare, a’ rettili che non hanno signore? 15 Egli li ha tutti tratti fuori con l’amo, egli li ha accolti nel suo giacchio, e li ha radunati nella sua rete: Perciò, egli si rallegra, e trionfa. 16 Perciò, sacrifica al suo giacchio, e fa profumo alla sua rete; perciocchè per essi la sua parte è grassa, e la sua vivanda opima. 17 Voterà egli perciò il suo giacchio, e non resterà egli giammai di uccider le genti del continuo?
ItalianRiveduta(i) 1 Oracolo che il profeta Habacuc ebbe per visione. 2 Fino a quando, o Eterno, griderò, senza che tu mi dia ascolto? Io grido a te: "Violenza!" e tu non salvi. 3 Perché mi fai veder l’iniquità, e tolleri lo spettacolo della perversità? e perché mi stanno dinanzi la rapina e la violenza? Vi son liti, e sorge la discordia. 4 Perciò la legge è senza forza e il diritto non fa strada, perché l’empio aggira il giusto, e il diritto n’esce pervertito. 5 Vedete fra le nazioni, guardate, maravigliatevi, e siate stupefatti! Poiché io sto per fare ai vostri giorni un’opera, che voi non credereste, se ve la raccontassero. 6 Perché, ecco, io sto per suscitare i Caldei, questa nazione aspra e impetuosa, che percorre la terra quant’è larga, per impadronirsi di dimore, che non son sue. 7 E’ terribile, formidabile; il suo diritto e la sua grandezza emanano da lui stesso. 8 I suoi cavalli son più veloci de’ leopardi, più agili de’ lupi della sera; i suoi cavalieri procedon con fierezza; i suoi cavalieri vengon di lontano, volan come l’aquila che piomba sulla preda. 9 Tutta quella gente viene per darsi alla violenza, le lor facce bramose son tese in avanti, e ammassan prigionieri senza numero come la rena. 10 Si fan beffe dei re, e i principi son per essi oggetto di scherno; si ridono di tutte le fortezze; ammontano un po’ di terra, e le prendono. 11 Poi passan come il vento; passan oltre e si rendon colpevoli, questa lor forza è il loro dio. 12 Non sei tu ab antico; o Eterno, il mio Dio, il mio Santo? Noi non morremo! O Eterno, tu l’hai posto, questo popolo, per esercitare i tuoi giudizi, tu, o Ròcca, l’hai stabilito per infliggere i tuoi castighi. 13 Tu, che hai gli occhi troppo puri per sopportar la vista del male, e che non puoi tollerar lo spettacolo dell’iniquità, perché guardi i perfidi, e taci quando il malvagio divora l’uomo ch’è più giusto di lui? 14 E perché rendi gli uomini come i pesci del mare e come i rettili, che non hanno signore? 15 Il Caldeo li trae tutti su con l’amo, li piglia nella sua rete, li raccoglie nel suo giacchio; perciò si rallegra ed esulta. 16 Per questo fa sacrifizi alla sua rete, e offre profumi al suo giacchio; perché per essi la sua parte è grassa, e il suo cibo è succulento. 17 Dev’egli per questo seguitare a vuotare la sua rete, e massacrar del continuo le nazioni senza pietà?
Korean(i) 1 선지자 하박국의 묵시로 받은 경고라 2 여호와여 ! 내가 부르짖어도 주께서 듣지 아니하시니 어느 때까지리이까 ? 내가 강포를 인하여 외쳐도 주께서 구원치 아니하시나이다 3 어찌하여 나로 간악을 보게 하시며 패역을 목도하게 하시나이까 ? 대저 겁탈과 강포가 내 앞에 있고 변론과 분쟁이 일어났나이다 4 이러므로 율법이 해이하고 공의가 아주 시행되지 못하오니 이는 악인이 의인을 에워쌌으므로 공의가 굽게 행함이니이다 5 여호와께서 가라사대 너희는 열국을 보고 또 보고 놀라고 또 놀랄지어다 너희 생전에 내가 한 일을 행할 것이라 혹이 너희에게 고할지라도 너희가 믿지 아니하리라 6 보라, 내가 사납고 성급한 백성 곧 땅의 넓은 곳으로 다니며 자기의 소유 아닌 거할 곳들을 점령하는 갈대아 사람을 일으켰나니 7 그들은 두렵고 무서우며 심판과 위령이 자기로 말미암으며 8 그 말은 표범보다 빠르고 저녁 이리보다 사나우며 그 기병은 원방에서부터 빨리 달려오는 기병이라 마치 식물을 움키려하는 독수리의 날음과 같으니라 9 그들은 다 강포를 행하러 오는데 앞을 향하여 나아가며 사람을 사로잡아 모으기를 모래 같이 많이 할 것이요 10 열왕을 멸시하며 방백을 치소하며 모든 견고한 성을 비웃고 흉벽을 쌓아 그것을 취할 것이라 11 그들은 그 힘으로 자기 신을 삼는 자라 이에 바람 같이 급히 몰아 지나치게 행하여 득죄하리라 12 선지자가 가로되 여호와 나의 하나님 나의 거룩한 자시여 주께서는 만세 전부터 계시지 아니하시니이까 ? 우리가 사망에 이르지 아니하리이다 여호와여 ! 주께서 심판하기 위하여 그를 두셨나이다 반석이시여 ! 주께서 경계하기 위하여 그를 세우셨나이다 13 주께서는 눈이 정결하시므로 악을 참아 보지 못하시며 패역을 참아 보지 못하시거늘 어찌하여 궤휼한 자들을 방관하시며 악인이 자기보다 의로운 사람을 삼키되 잠잠하시나이까 ? 14 주께서 어찌하여 사람으로 바다의 어족 같게 하시며 주권자 없는 곤충 같게 하시나이까 ? 15 그가 낚시로 모두 취하며 그물로 잡으며 초망으로 모으고 인하여 기뻐하고 즐거워하여 16 그물에 제사하며 초망 앞에 분향하오니 이는 그것을 힘입어 소득이 풍부하고 식물이 풍성케 됨이니이다 17 그가 그물을 떨고는 연하여 늘 열국을 살륙함이 옳으니이까 ?
Lithuanian(i) 1 Regėjimas, kurį matė pranašas Habakukas. 2 Viešpatie, kaip ilgai aš šauksiu, o Tu neišklausysi, šauksiu apie smurtą, o Tu negelbėsi! 3 Kodėl man leidi patirti nedorybę ir vargą? Priespauda ir smurtas prieš mane, visur kyla vaidai ir barniai. 4 Įstatymas nusilpo, į teisingumą nekreipiama dėmesio, nedorėlis apsuka teisųjį, teisme sprendimas iškraipomas! 5 “Dairykitės tarp tautų ir įsidėmėkite, didžiai stebėkitės, nes jūsų dienomis darysiu darbą, kuriuo jūs netikėtumėte, jei jums kas apie tai pasakotų. 6 Aš sukelsiu chaldėjus, kurie siekia užimti jiems nepriklausančias žemes, kitų gyvenvietes. 7 Tai žiauri ir baisi tauta, jie patys nusprendžia, kas teisu ir garbinga. 8 Jų žirgai greitesni už leopardus. Jie plėšresni negu stepių vilkai. Raiteliai išsiskleidžia, jie atjoja iš toli, jie skrenda kaip erelis prie grobio. 9 Jie visi siekia smurto, jų veidai kaip rytų vėjas, jie ima belaisvius kaip smėlio smiltis. 10 Jie tyčiojasi iš karalių, šaiposi iš kunigaikščių. Jie juokiasi iš tvirtovių, supylę pylimus, jie jas paima. 11 Jie traukia tolyn kaip vėjas, viską nualina. Jiems jėga­jų dievas”. 12 Argi Tu nesi amžinasis Viešpats, mano Dievas, mano Šventasis? Mes nemirsime! Viešpatie, Tu juos paskyrei teismui, galingasis Dieve, Tu juos paruošei bausmei. 13 Tavo akys tyros, jos negali matyti pikto, negali žiūrėti į neteisybę. Kodėl ramiai stebi piktadarius ir tyli, kai nedorėlis praryja teisesnį už save? 14 Tu padarei žmones kaip jūros žuvis, kaip kirmėles, kurios neturi valdovo. 15 Jie iškelia juos meškere, ištraukia savo tinklu, surenka bradiniu; todėl jie patenkinti džiaugiasi. 16 Jie aukoja tinklui ir smilko bradiniui, nes jų dėka grobis gausus ir maistas geras. 17 Argi jie nuolat tuštins tinklus ir žudys tautas be pasigailėjimo?
PBG(i) 1 Brzemię, które widział prorok Abakuk. 2 Dokądże wołać będę, o Panie! a nie wysłuchasz? Dokądże do ciebie przed gwałtem krzyczeć będę, a nie wybawisz? 3 Przeczże dopuszczasz, abym patrzył na nieprawość, i widział bezprawie, i zgubę, i gwałt przeciwko sobie? i przecz się znajduje ten, który swar i niezgodę roznieca? 4 Dlatego naruszony bywa zakon, a prawu się nigdy dosyć nie dzieje; albowiem niepobożny otacza sprawiedliwego, dlatego wychodzi sąd przewrotny. 5 Spojrzyjcie na narody a obaczcie i dziwujcie się z zdumieniem, przeto, iż czynię nieco za dni waszych, o czem gdy wam powiadać będą, nie uwierzycie. 6 Albowiem oto Ja wzbudzę Chaldejczyków, naród srogi i prędki, który szeroko pójdzie przez ziemię, aby posiadł mieszkania cudze. 7 Straszny jest i ogromny; od niego samego wynijdzie sąd jego, i wywyższenie jego. 8 Konie jego prędsze będą niż lamparty, a sroższe nad wilki wieczorne; szeroko rozciągną się jezdni jego, a jezdni jego z daleka przyjdą, przylecą jako orzeł spieszący się do żeru. 9 Każdy z nich dla łupiestwa przyjdzie; obrócą twarze swoje na wschód słońca, a więźniów zgromadzą jako piasek. 10 Ten i z królów szydzić będzie, a książęta będą na pośmiech u niego; ten też z każdej twierdzy naśmiewać się będzie, a usypawszy wały weźmie ją. 11 Tedy się odmieni duch jego, a wystąpi i przewini, myśląc, że ta moc jego jest boga jego. 12 Izaliś ty nie jest od wieku, Panie, Boże mój, święty mój? myć nie pomrzemy; o Panie! postawiłeś go na sąd; ty, o skało nasza! na karanieś go ugruntował. 13 Czyste są oczy twoje, tak, że na złe patrzyć i bazprawia widzieć nie mogą; przeczżebyś miał patrzyć na czyniących przewrotność? Przeczżebyś miał milczeć, ponieważ niezbożnik pożera sprawiedliwszego niżeli sam? 14 Miałżebyś zaniechać ludzi jako ryb morskich, jako płazu, który nie ma pana? 15 Wszystkie wędą wyciąga, zagarnia je niewodem swoim, i zgromadza je do sieci swoich; dlategoż się weseli i raduje. 16 Przeto ofiaruje niewodowi swemu i kadzi sieci swojej; albowiem przez nie utył dział jego, a pożywienie jego hojniejsze. 17 Izali dlatego będzie zapuszczał niewód swój, a ustawicznie zabijał narody bez litości?
Portuguese(i) 1 O oráculo que o profeta Habacuque viu. 2 Até quando Senhor, clamarei eu, e tu não escutarás? ou gritarei a ti: Violência! e não salvarás? 3 Por que razão me fazes ver a iniquidade, e a opressão? Pois a destruição e a violência estão diante de mim; há também contendas, e o litígio é suscitado. 4 Por esta causa a lei se afrouxa, e a justiça nunca se manifesta; porque o ímpio cerca o justo, de sorte que a justiça é pervertida. 5 Vede entre as nações, e olhai; maravilhai-vos e admirai-vos; porque realizo em vossos dias uma obra, que vós não acreditareis, quando vos for contada. 6 Pois eis que suscito os caldeus, essa nação feroz e impetuosa, que marcha sobre a largura da terra para se apoderar de moradas que não são suas. 7 Ela é terrível e espantosa; dela mesma sai o seu juízo e a sua dignidade. 8 Os seis cavalos são mais ligeiros do que os leopardos, se mais ferozes do que os lobos a tarde; os seus cavaleiros espalham-se por toda a parte; sim, os seus cavaleiros vêm de longe; voam como a águia que se apressa a devorar. 9 Eles todos vêm com violência; a sua vanguarda irrompe como o vento oriental; eles ajuntam cativos como areia. 10 Escarnecem dos reis, e dos príncipes fazem zombaria; eles se riem de todas as fortalezas; porque, amontoando terra, as tomam. 11 Então passam impetuosamente, como um vento, e seguem, mas eles são culpados, esses cujo próprio poder e o seu deus. 12 Não és tu desde a eternidade, ó Senhor meu Deus, meu santo? Nós não morreremos. Ó Senhor, para juízo puseste este povo; e tu, ó Rocha, o estabeleceste para correcção. 13 Tu que és tão puro de olhos que não podes ver o mal, e que não podes contemplar a perversidade, por que olhas pára os que procedem aleivosamente, e te calas enquanto o ímpio devora aquele que e mais justo do que ele. 14 E farias os homens como os peixes do mar, como os répteis, que não têm quem os governe, 15 Ele a todos levanta com o anzol, apanha-os com a sua rede; e os ajunta na sua rede varredoura; por isso ele se alegra e se regozija. 16 Por isso sacrifica à sua rede, e queima incenso à sua varredoura; porque por elas enriquece a sua porção, e abundante a sua comida. 17 Porventura por isso continuara esvaziando a sua rede e matando sem piedade os povos?
Norwegian(i) 1 Dette er det utsagn som profeten Habakuk skuet. 2 Hvor lenge, Herre, skal jeg ennu rope uten at du hører! Jeg klager for dig over vold - og du frelser ikke. 3 Hvorfor lar du mig skue urett, og hvorledes kan du selv se på slik elendighet? Ødeleggelse og vold har jeg for mine øine; det yppes kiv og opstår tretter. 4 Derfor er loven maktesløs, og retten kommer aldri frem; for ugudelige omringer den rettferdige, derfor kommer retten frem forvendt. 5 Se eder omkring blandt folkene, se og bli forferdet, ja forferdet! For en gjerning gjør jeg i eders dager - I skulde ikke tro den når den blev fortalt. 6 For se, jeg lar kaldeerne reise sig, det ville og voldsomme folk, som farer frem så vide som jorden når, for å ta i eie boliger som ikke hører det til. 7 Fryktelig og forferdelig er det; fra sig selv henter det sin rett og sin høihet. 8 Dets hester er raskere enn leoparder og skarpere til å springe enn ulver om aftenen; dets ryttere sprenger frem, dets ryttere kommer langt borte fra, de flyver som en ørn når den styrter sig over sitt rov. 9 Alle kommer de for å gjøre voldsverk, de stirrer stridslystne fremad, og de samler fanger som sand. 10 De spotter konger, og fyrster er til latter for dem; de ler av hver festning, de dynger jord op mot den og tar den. 11 Så stryker de avsted som en vind og farer frem og drar skyld over sig; deres kraft er deres gud. 12 Er du ikke fra fordums tid Herren min Gud, min Hellige? Vi skal ikke dø. Herre! Til å fullbyrde dom har du satt dem. Du vår klippe! Til å straffe har du gitt dem fullmakt. 13 Du som er ren av øine, så du ikke kan se på ondt* og ikke er i stand til å skue på elendighet**! Hvorfor ser du på troløse, hvorfor tier du når den ugudelige tilintetgjør den som er rettferdigere enn han? / {* uten å straffe.} / {** uten å hjelpe.} 14 Du har jo gjort med menneskene som med havets fisker, som med krypet, som ingen herre har! 15 Dem alle drar de* op med krok, samler dem i sin not og sanker dem i sitt garn; derfor gleder de sig og jubler. / {* kaldeerne.} 16 Derfor ofrer de til sin not og brenner røkelse for sitt garn; for de gir dem deres fete lodd og deres kraftige mat. 17 Men skal de derfor fremdeles få tømme sin not og uavlatelig slå folkeslag ihjel uten skånsel?
Romanian(i) 1 Proorocia descoperită proorocului Habacuc. 2 Pînă cînd voi striga către Tine, Doamne, fără s'Asculţi? Pînă cînd mă voi tîngui Ţie, fără să dai ajutor? 3 Pentru ce mă laşi să văd nelegiuirea, şi Te uiţi la nedreptate? Asuprirea şi sîlnicia se fac supt ochii mei, se nasc certuri, şi se stîrneşte gîlceavă. 4 Deaceea legea este fără putere, şi dreptatea nu se vede, căci cel rău biruieşte pe cel neprihănit, de aceea se fac judecăţi nedrepte. - 5 Aruncaţi-vă ochii printre neamuri, şi priviţi, uimiţi-vă, şi îngroziţi-vă! Căci în zilele voastre voi face o lucrare, pe care n'aţi crede -o dacă v'ar povesti -o cineva! 6 Iată, voi ridica pe Haldei, popor turbat şi iute, care străbate întinderi mari de ţări, ca să pună mîna pe locuinţe cari nu sînt ale lui. 7 El este grozav şi înfricoşat; numai din el însuş îi iese dreptul şi mărirea lui. 8 Caii lui sînt mai iuţi decît leoparzii, mai sprinteni decît lupii de seară, şi călăreţii lui înaintează în galop de departe, sboară ca vulturul care se repede asupra prăzii. 9 Tot poporul acesta vine numai ca să jăfuiască; privirile lui lacome caută înainte, şi strînge prinşi de război ca nisipul. 10 Îşi bate joc de împăraţi, şi voivozii sînt o nimica pentru el, rîde de toate întăriturile, căci grămădeşte pămînt, şi le ia. 11 Apoi aprinderea i se îndoieşte, întrece măsura şi se face vinovat, căci puterea lui o ia ca dumnezeu al lui! 12 Doamne, nu eşti Tu din vecinicie, Dumnezeul meu, Sfîntul meu? Nu vom muri! Doamne, Tu ai ridicat pe poporul acesta ca să-Ţi împlineşti judecăţile Tale; Tu, Stînca mea, l-ai ridicat ca să dai prin el pedepsele Tale! 13 Ochii Tăi sînt aşa de curaţi că nu pot să vadă răul, şi nu poţi să priveşti nelegiuirea! Cum ai putea privi Tu pe cei mişei, şi să taci, cînd cel rău mănîncă pe cel mai neprihănit decît el? 14 Vei face Tu omului ca peştilor mării, ca tîrîtoarei, care n'are stăpîn? 15 El îi scoate pe toţi cu undiţa, îi trage în mreaja sa, îi strînge în năvodul său. Deaceea se bucură şi se veseleşte. 16 De aceea aduce jertfe mrejei sale, aduce tămîie năvodului său; căci lor le datoreşte partea lui cea grasă şi bucatele lui gustoase! 17 Pentru aceasta îşi va goli el într'una mreaja, şi va înjunghia fără milă pe neamuri?
Ukrainian(i) 1 Пророцтво, яке бачив пророк Авакум. 2 Аж доки я, Господи, кликати буду, а Ти не почуєш? До тебе я кличу: Насильство! та Ти не спасаєш! 3 Для чого неправість мені Ти показуєш та позираєш на муку? А передо мною грабіж та насильство, і суперечка стається, і носиться сварка. 4 Тому то Закон припиняється, і не виходить до чину назавсіди право, бо несправедливий вигублює праведного, тому правосуддя виходить покривленим. 5 Пригляньтеся ви до народів, і дивіться, і дуже здивуйтесь, бо вчиню Я за ваших днів діло, про яке не повірите ви, коли буде розказане. 6 Бо оце Я поставлю халдеїв, народ лютий та скорий, що ґрасує по широкій землі, щоб захопити оселі, які не його. 7 Страшний та грізний він, від нього самого виходить і право його, і великість його. 8 І від пантер його коні швидші, і від вовків вечерових лютіші. 9 Він приходить увесь на насильство, а ціль їх обличчя вперед, і набере полонених, як того піску. 10 І він глузує з царів, а князі сміх для нього. Він сміється з твердині усякої, бо на вал насипає землі, і її здобуває! 11 Тоді він несеться, як вітер, і перейде, і згрішить, бо зробить за бога свого оцю силу свою. 12 Хіба ж Ти не віддавна, о Господи? Боже Ти мій, мій Святий, не помремо! Господи, Ти для суду поставив його, і, о Скеле, призначив його на карання! 13 Твої очі занадто пречисті, щоб міг Ти дивитись на зло, і на насильство дивитись не можеш. Чому ж дивишся Ти на грабіжників, мовчиш, коли несправедливий винищує справедливішого від себе? 14 Ти ж маєш людей, як у морі тих риб, немов ту черву, що пана над нею нема. 15 Усе це грабіжник витягує вудкою, своїм неводом тягне оце, та збирає оце в свою сітку, тому тішиться він та радіє. 16 Тому жертву приносить він неводові, і кадить для сітки своєї, бо від них ситий уділ його та добірна пожива його! 17 Чи на це випорожнює він свого невода, і завжди готов убивати народи без милости?
