 哈:1.(hb)   [哈巴谷]    [Habakkuk]   [共 3 章]   [思高聖經]
  
 哈:1.1      [題名]  哈巴谷先知在神視中所得的神諭。
 哈:1.2      [先知首次訴苦]  上主，我呼救而你不予垂聽，要到何時﹖向你呼喊「殘暴」，而你仍不施救﹖
 哈:1.3      為什麼你仗我見到邪惡，人受壓迫，而你竟坐視﹖在我面前，只有壓害和殘暴，爭吵不休，辯論迭起。
 哈:1.4      為此法律鬆馳，正義不彰，惡人包圍了義人，因而產生歪曲的審判。
 哈:1.5      [上主的答覆]  你們應觀察列邦，且應注意視，你們必要詑異驚奇，因在你們的日子內，我要做一件事，縱然有人述說，你們也不相信。
 哈:1.6      看，我要激起加色丁人──那殘暴凶猛的民族，向廣大的地區進發，侵佔別人的居所。
 哈:1.7      這民族獨斷獨行，目中無人，實令人恐怖。
 哈:1.8      他們的馬捷於虎豹，猛於夜狼；他們的馬隊由遠方飛奔而來，像撲食的老鷹；
 哈:1.9      大事摧殘，而面目焦燥，有如烈風；聚集的俘虜，多似塵沙。
 哈:1.10     他們嘲笑列王，譏諷諸侯，嗤笑任何堡壘只堆一堆土，即可攻下；
 哈:1.11     然後鼓起勇氣向前猛進，以自己的力量為神。
 哈:1.12     [先知再次訴苦]  吾主，你自古不就是我的天主，我的聖者﹖你決不會死亡! 上主，你派他們來是為審判；磐石，你立定他們是為懲罰。
 哈:1.13     你的眼睛這樣純潔，以致見不得邪惡，見不得折磨! 你為什麼垂顧背信的人﹖當惡人吞噬較他們更義的人，你又為什麼緘默﹖
 哈:1.14     你竟把人當作海裏的魚，當作沒有主宰的爬蟲!
 哈:1.15     他們把所有的一切用鉤子鉤上來，用網拉上來，用罟收集起來，為此歡欣踴躍，
 哈:1.16     向網祭獻，向罟焚香，因為給他們帶來了富裕的財物，豐美的飲食。
 哈:1.17     難道因此他們就應時常倒空自己的羅，無情地屠殺萬民﹖
  
 哈:2.1      [上主的答覆]  我要立在我的守望台上，置身於堡壘上窺探，看他對我說什麼，看他怎樣答覆我的怨訴。
 哈:2.2      上主回答我說：「你寫出這神視，清楚地刻在版上，使人能順利誦讀。
 哈:2.3      因為這神視有一定的時期，最後必要實現，決無欺詐；若遲廷了，你應等待；它必再來，決不誤期。
 哈:2.4      看，心術不正的，必然消逝；人必因他們的信賴而生活。
 哈:2.5      的確，財物使人失信，使人驕傲，不能仗人安息；它張開自己像陰府的咽喉，又如不知饜足的死亡，聚集萬民，匯合列國，歸屬自己。
 哈:2.6      [暴歛的禍患]  那時，這些人民豈不都吟諷刺詩，以隱語嘲弄他說：禍哉，那只顧聚歛他人財物的人，堆積抵押於自己家中，要到何時﹖
 哈:2.7      你的債豈不要忽然起來，追債者豈不要醒起，你必成為他們的掠物!
 哈:2.8      因為你搶掠過許多民族，各民族的遺也必要搶掠你；因為你流了人的血，使地域、城市和其中所有的居民遭受了摧殘。
 哈:2.9      [重利的禍患]  禍哉! 那取重利，而給自家招禍，並在高處設置窩巢，想避免災禍的人!
 哈:2.10     你消滅許多民族，正是為自家遭來羞恥，危害自己的性命，
 哈:2.11     因為石頭必由牆中呼喊，棟零樑必由屋脊應和。
 哈:2.12     [嗜殺的禍患]  禍哉，那以血債建造城市，以邪惡建立城鎮的人!
 哈:2.13     這豈不要出於萬軍上主的意願：列國只為火而勤勞，萬民辛苦只是一場空﹖
 哈:2.14     因為大地要充滿對上主光榮的知識，就如水充滿海洋。
 哈:2.15     [殘暴的禍患]  禍哉，那以攙有毒物的酒給自己近人喝，使他酣醉，圖見他裸體的人!
 哈:2.16     你必飽嘗恥辱，而毫無光榮。如今應該你喝，顯露你未割損之物。上主右手中的杯已輪到了你，恥辱要遮蓋你的光榮。
 哈:2.17     你加於黎巴嫩的摧殘，必臨於你；你施於走獸的虐待，必使你恐懼，因為你流了人的血，使地域、城市和其中所有居民遭受了摧殘。
 哈:2.18     [偶像的禍患]  彫像有何用處，竟使工匠彫刻它﹖鑄像，即撒謊之師，又有何用，竟值得製造它的人依賴它﹖他不要為自己製造了啞像﹖
 哈:2.19     禍哉，那對木頭說：「醒來，」對石頭說：「起來」的人! 這樣的東西豈能施救﹖看，它只是塗了一層金銀，內卻毫無氣息。
 哈:2.20     但上主卻住在自己的聖殿內，整個大地在他面前都應肅靜。
  
 哈:3.1      哈巴谷先知的禱辭。調寄「流離之歌。」
 哈:3.2      [小引]  上主，我聽到了你的報道；上主，我見到你的作為；求你在歲月的過程中，彰顯你的作為，求你在歲月的過程中，宣佈出來! 但願你發怒時，也懷念仁慈。
 哈:3.3      [天主的顯現震撼萬物]  天主自特曼而來，聖者由帕蘭山而至(休止；)他的威嚴遮蓋諸天，他的榮耀充滿大地。
 哈:3.4      他的光輝明耀如日；他手中射出的光芒，蘊藏著他的威能。
 哈:3.5      瘟疾在他面前開路，熱症隨在他的足後。
 哈:3.6      他一停立，大地就動搖；他一注視，萬民就戰慄；太古的山嶽崩裂，久遠的丘陵沉沒；他自永遠即在其上行走。
 哈:3.7      我曾見雇商的帳幕恐慌，米德揚的帳幕震勫。
 哈:3.8      上主! 當你騎著馬，乘著凱旋車時，是否是向河流發怒﹖或是向海洋洩憤﹖
 哈:3.9      你抽出了你的弓弩，囊中裝滿了箭羽(休止)；你劈地成河，
 哈:3.10     叢山見你而戰慄；驟雨由雲中降下，深潚發出巨響，太陽齔了昇起，
 哈:3.11     月亮停於居所：這是因了你放射箭羽的光芒，你槍矛閃爍的光亮。
 哈:3.12     [異民受罰選民獲救]  你懷怒踏遍大地，含恨蹂躪了萬邦。
 哈:3.13     你出征是為了你的百姓，是為了你的受傅者；你折毀了惡人的屋頂，使屋基露出，直到磐石(休止。)
 哈:3.14     你用箭射透了他戰士的頭，因為他們衝來要驅散我們，且高興得有如在暗中吞食貧民的人。
 哈:3.15     你卻將他的戰馬投入深海，投入多水的沼澤中。
 哈:3.16     [先知在困難中不失信賴]  我一聽見，我的我的臟腑發抖；對此消息，我的口脣打顫；痲痺侵入下骨骸，我的步伐在我下面已零亂。我在靜待那困難的日子，因為那日子必要臨於進攻我們的民族身上。
 哈:3.17     縱然無花果樹不發芽，葡萄樹不結實，橄欖樹一無所產，麥田不出產食糧，羊棧內沒有羊，牛欄中沒有牛，
 哈:3.18     我仍然喜樂於上主，歡欣於我的救主天主。
 哈:3.19     我主上主是我的力量，他使我的腳有如鹿腳，引我在高處步行。──交於樂官，和以絃樂。　[哈巴谷完篇]
  
 hb:1.       [Habakkuk]  3 chapters    [哈巴谷]   [英文版]
  
 hb:1.1      The oracle which Habakkuk the prophet received in vision.
 hb:1.2      How long, O LORD? I cry for help but you do not listen! I cry out to you, "Violence!" but you do not intervene.
 hb:1.3      Why do you let me see ruin; why must I look at misery? Destruction and violence are before me; there is strife, and clamorous discord.
 hb:1.4      This is why the law is benumbed, and judgment is never rendered: Because the wicked circumvent the just; this is why judgment comes forth perverted.
 hb:1.5      Look over the nations and see, and be utterly amazed! For a work is being done in your days that you would not have believed, were it told.
 hb:1.6      For see, I am raising up Chaldea, that bitter and unruly people, That marches the breadth of the land to take dwellings not his own.
 hb:1.7      Terrible and dreadful is he, from himself derive his law and his majesty.
 hb:1.8      Swifter than leopards are his horses, and keener than wolves at evening. His horses prance, his horsemen come from afar: They fly like the eagle hastening to devour;
 hb:1.9      each comes for the rapine, Their combined onset is that of a stormwind that heaps up captives like sand.
 hb:1.10     He scoffs at kings, and princes are his laughingstock; He laughs at any fortress, heaps up a ramp, and conquers it.
 hb:1.11     Then he veers like the wind and is gone-- this culprit who makes his own strength his god!
 hb:1.12     Are you not from eternity, O LORD, my holy God, immortal? O LORD you have marked him for judgment, O Rock , you have readied him for punishment!
 hb:1.13     Too pure are your eyes to look upon evil, and the sight of misery you cannot endure. Why, then, do you gaze on the faithless in silence while the wicked man devours one more just than himself?
 hb:1.14     You have made man like the fish of the sea, like creeping things without a ruler.
 hb:1.15     He brings them all up with his hook, he hauls them away with his net, He gathers them in his seine; and so he rejoices and exults.
 hb:1.16     Therefore he sacrifices to his net, and burns incense to his seine; For thanks to them his portion is generous, and his repast sumptuous.
 hb:1.17     Shall he, then, keep on brandishing his sword to slay peoples without mercy?

 hb:2.1      I will stand at my guard post, and station myself upon the rampart, And keep watch to see what he will say to me, and what answer he will give to my complaint.
 hb:2.2      Then the LORD answered me and said: Write down the vision Clearly upon the tablets, so that one can read it readily.
 hb:2.3      For the vision still has its time, presses on to fulfillment, and will not disappoint; If it delays, wait for it, it will surely come, it will not be late.
 hb:2.4      The rash man has no integrity; but the just man, because of his faith, shall live. Wealth, too, is treacherous: the proud, unstable man--
 hb:2.5      He who opens wide his throat like the nether world, and is insatiable as death, Who gathers to himself all the nations, and rallies to himself all the peoples--
 hb:2.6      Shall not all these take up a taunt against him, satire and epigrams about him, to say: Woe to him who stores up what is not his: how long can it last! he loads himself down with debts.
 hb:2.7      Shall not your creditors rise suddenly? Shall not they who make you tremble awake? You shall become their spoil!
 hb:2.8      Because you despoiled many peoples all the rest of the nations shall despoil you; Because of men's blood shed, and violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell in it.
 hb:2.9      Woe to him who pursues evil gain for his household, setting his nest on high to escape the reach of misfortune!
 hb:2.10     You have devised shame for your household, cutting off many peoples, forfeiting your own life:
 hb:2.11     For the stone in the wall shall cry out, and the beam in the woodwork shall answer it!
 hb:2.12     Woe to him who builds a city by bloodshed, and establishes a town by wickedness!
 hb:2.13     Is not this from the LORD of hosts: peoples toil for the flames, and nations grow weary for nought!
 hb:2.14     But the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the LORD'S glory as water covers the sea.
 hb:2.15     Woe to you who give your neighbors a flood of your wrath to drink, and make them drunk, till their nakedness is seen!
 hb:2.16     You are filled with shame instead of glory; drink, you too, and stagger! On you shall revert the cup from the LORD'S right hand, and utter shame on your glory.
 hb:2.17     For the violence done to Lebanon shall cover you, and the destruction of the beasts shall terrify you; Because of men's blood shed, and violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell in it.
 hb:2.18     Of what avail is the carved image, that its maker should carve it? Or the molten image and lying oracle, that its very maker should trust in it, and make dumb idols?
 hb:2.19     Woe to him who says to wood, "Awake!" to dumb stone, "Arise!" Can such a thing give oracles? See, it is overlaid with gold and silver, but there is no life breath in it.
 hb:2.20     But the LORD is in his holy temple; silence before him, all the earth!

 hb:3.1.     Prayer of Habakkuk, the prophet. To a plaintive tune.
 hb:3.2.     O LORD, I have heard your renown, and feared, O LORD, your work. In the course of the years revive it, in the course of the years make it known; in your wrath remember compassion!
 hb:3.3.     God comes from Teman , the Holy One from Mount Paran. Covered are the heavens with his glory, and with his praise the earth is filled.
 hb:3.4.     His splendor spreads like the light; rays shine forth from beside him, where his power is concealed.
 hb:3.5.     Before him goes pestilence, and the plague follows in his steps.
 hb:3.6.     He pauses to survey the earth; his look makes the nations tremble. The eternal mountains are shattered, the age-old hills bow low along his ancient ways.
 hb:3.7.     I see the tents of Cushan collapse; trembling are the pavilions of the land of Midian.
 hb:3.8.     Is your anger against the streams, O LORD? Is your wrath against the streams, your rage against the sea, That you drive the steeds of your victorious chariot?
 hb:3.9.     Bared and ready is your bow, filled with arrows is your quiver. Into streams you split the earth;
 hb:3.10     at sight of you the mountains tremble. A torrent of rain descends; the ocean gives forth its roar. The sun forgets to rise,
 hb:3.11     the moon remains in its shelter, At the light of your flying arrows, at the gleam of your flashing spear.
 hb:3.12     In wrath you bestride the earth, in fury you trample the nations.
 hb:3.13     You come forth to save your people, to save your anointed one. You crush the heads of the wicked, you lay bare their bases at the neck.
 hb:3.14     You pierce with your shafts the heads of their princes whose boast would be of devouring the wretched in their lair.
 hb:3.15     You tread the sea with your steeds amid the churning of the deep waters.
 hb:3.16     I hear, and my body trembles; at the sound, my lips quiver. Decay invades my bones, my legs tremble beneath me. I await the day of distress that will come upon the people who attack us.
 hb:3.17     For though the fig tree blossom not nor fruit be on the vines, Though the yield of the olive fail and the terraces produce no nourishment, Though the flocks disappear from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls,
 hb:3.18     Yet will I rejoice in the LORD and exult in my saving God.
 hb:3.19     GOD, my Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet swift as those of hinds and enables me to go upon the heights. For the leader; with stringed instruments. [end of Habakkuk]
