1:1
|
神言人哈巴谷在異象中所見的神托︰他說︰
|
|
|
The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
|
|
1:2
|
永恆主阿，我向你呼救，而你不聽，要到几時呢？我向你哀呼『遭強暴！』而你不拯救，要到几時呢？
|
|
|
O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!
|
|
1:3
|
你為什么使我看見奸惡？為什么你逕看著毒害事而不理呢？毀滅和強暴老在我面前，紛爭與相斗又時時發生呢！
|
|
|
Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
|
|
1:4
|
因此律法僵化，公理總不出現。因為惡人圍困著義人，故此公理就使出現、也彎曲了。
|
|
|
Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
|
|
1:5
|
詭詐不忠的人哪（向列國），看又察看哦！驚訝而駭愕哦！因為當你們的日子、我要行一件事，就是敘說出來，你們也總不信的。
|
|
|
Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
|
|
1:6
|
因為你看吧，我在激起迦勒底人、那殘酷暴躁的國、那向廣大地區進發、占據不屬自己住處的。
|
|
|
For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs.
|
|
1:7
|
他們威武可畏而可懼怕，判斷與破毀任由自己作出。
|
|
|
They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
|
|
1:8
|
他們的馬比豹還快，比晚上的豺狼還猛﹔他們的馬騰躍著飛跑（傳統似重復誤寫﹔意難確定。參死海古卷），從遠方而來，飛臨如鷹，急著要吃。
|
|
|
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 hasteth to eat.
|
|
1:9
|
他們都為了行強暴而來﹔未到之先、人就懼怕他們（意難確定）。他們聚集被擄的人、多如塵沙。
|
|
|
They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
|
|
1:10
|
是他們對著君王而譏笑，對著人君而打笑話的﹔是他們對著一切堡壘而戲笑的，因為他們堆土壘去攻取它。
|
|
|
And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.
|
|
1:11
|
然后風一掃，他們就過去，顯為有罪！嘿，這就是他們的勢力，他們所看為神的（意難確定）！
|
|
|
Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.
|
|
1:12
|
永恆主阿，你不是從亙古就有么？我的上帝、我的聖者阿，你是不死的（傳統︰我們必不死）。永恆主阿，你派定他們以施判罰，磐石阿，你設立他為以行譴責。
|
|
|
Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.
|
|
1:13
|
你眼目清潔不看壞事，你是不能逕看著毒害舉動而不理的！為什么你逕看著詭詐不忠的人而不理？惡人吞滅了比自己正義的、你為什么靜默不動？
|
|
|
Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?
|
|
1:14
|
竟使人像海中的魚，像無管轄者的爬行物呢？
|
|
|
And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
|
|
1:15
|
他用鉤子把他們都鉤上來，用網子給拉出來，用拉網給收集在一起，故此他歡喜快樂。
|
|
|
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.
|
|
1:16
|
就向網子獻祭，向拉網熏祭，因為藉著這些祭物他的分兒就肥美，他的食物就肥甘。
|
|
|
Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.
|
|
1:17
|
因此他不斷地拔刀，殺戮列國人、毫不顧惜（傳統︰難道因此他要倒空網子，而不斷殺戮列國人、毫不顧惜么？』今據死海古卷譯之）。
|
|
|
Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
|
