| 1 | Τὸ λῆμμα, ὃ εἶδεν Αμβακουμ ὁ προφήτης. |
The burden which the prophet Ambacum saw. | HABAKKUK. (late 7th cent BCE). Hab.1.1 |
| 2 | Ἕως τίνος, κύριε, κεκράξομαι καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσακούσῃς; βοήσομαι πρὸς σὲ ἀδικούμενος καὶ οὐ σώσεις; |
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? | Habakkuk complains of injustice. Hab.1.2-4 |
| 3 | ἵνα τί μοι ἔδειξας κόπους καὶ πόνους, ἐπιβλέπειν ταλαιπωρίαν καὶ ἀσέβειαν; ἐξ ἐναντίας μου γέγονεν κρίσις, καὶ ὁ κριτὴς λαμβάνει. |
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 | διὰ τοῦτο διεσκέδασται νόμος, καὶ οὐ διεξάγεται εἰς τέλος κρίμα, ὅτι ὁ ἀσεβὴς καταδυναστεύει τὸν δίκαιον· ἕνεκεν τούτου ἐξελεύσεται τὸ κρίμα διεστραμμένον. |
Therefore the law is frustrated and judgment proceeds not effectually for the ungodly [man] prevails over the just; therefore perverse judgment will proceed. | |
| 5 | ἴδετε, οἱ καταφρονηταί, καὶ ἐπιβλέψατε καὶ θαυμάσατε θαυμάσια καὶ ἀφανίσθητε, διότι ἔργον ἐγὼ ἐργάζομαι ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ὑμῶν, ὃ οὐ μὴ πιστεύσητε ἐάν τις ἐκδιηγῆται. |
Behold ye despisers and look and wonder marvelously and vanish: for I work a work in your days | The LORD's reply. Hab.1.5-11 |
| 6 | διότι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐξεγείρω ἐφ' ὑμᾶς τοὺς Χαλδαίους τοὺς μαχητάς, τὸ ἔθνος τὸ πικρὸν καὶ τὸ ταχινὸν τὸ πορευόμενον ἐπὶ τὰ πλάτη τῆς γῆς τοῦ κατακληρονομῆσαι σκηνώματα οὐκ αὐτοῦ· |
Wherefore behold I stir up the Chaldeans the bitter and hasty nation that walks upon the breadth of the earth | |
| 7 | φοβερὸς καὶ ἐπιφανής ἐστιν, ἐξ αὐτοῦ τὸ κρίμα αὐτοῦ ἔσται, καὶ τὸ λῆμμα αὐτοῦ ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἐξελεύσεται· |
He is terrible and famous; his judgment shall proceed of himself and his dignity shall come out of himself. | |
| 8 | καὶ ἐξαλοῦνται ὑπὲρ παρδάλεις οἱ ἵπποι αὐτοῦ καὶ ὀξύτεροι ὑπὲρ τοὺς λύκους τῆς Ἀραβίας· καὶ ἐξιππάσονται οἱ ἱππεῖς αὐτοῦ καὶ ὁρμήσουσιν μακρόθεν καὶ πετασθήσονται ὡς ἀετὸς πρόθυμος εἰς τὸ φαγεῖν. |
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 | συντέλεια εἰς ἀσεβεῖς ἥξει ἀνθεστηκότας προσώποις αὐτῶν ἐξ ἐναντίας καὶ συνάξει ὡς ἄμμον αἰχμαλωσίαν. |
Destruction shall come upon ungodly men resisting with their adverse front and he shall gather the captivity as the sand. | |
| 10 | καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν βασιλεῦσιν ἐντρυφήσει, καὶ τύραννοι παίγνια αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτὸς εἰς πᾶν ὀχύρωμα ἐμπαίξεται καὶ βαλεῖ χῶμα καὶ κρατήσει αὐτοῦ. |
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 | τότε μεταβαλεῖ τὸ πνεῦμα καὶ διελεύσεται καὶ ἐξιλάσεται· αὕτη ἡ ἰσχὺς τῷ θεῷ μου. - |
Then shall he change his spirit and he shall pass through and make an atonement [saying] This strength [belongs] to my god. | |
| 12 | οὐχὶ σὺ ἀπ' ἀρχῆς, κύριε, ὁ θεὸς ὁ ἅγιός μου; καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνωμεν. κύριε, εἰς κρίμα τέταχας αὐτόν· καὶ ἔπλασέν με τοῦ ἐλέγχειν παιδείαν αὐτοῦ. |
[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. | Habakkuk complains to the LORD again. Hab.1.12-17 |
| 13 | καθαρὸς ὀφθαλμὸς τοῦ μὴ ὁρᾶν πονηρά, καὶ ἐπιβλέπειν ἐπὶ πόνους οὐ δυνήσῃ· ἵνα τί ἐπιβλέπεις ἐπὶ καταφρονοῦντας; παρασιωπήσῃ ἐν τῷ καταπίνειν ἀσεβῆ τὸν δίκαιον; |
[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 | καὶ ποιήσεις τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ὡς τοὺς ἰχθύας τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ ὡς τὰ ἑρπετὰ τὰ οὐκ ἔχοντα ἡγούμενον. |
And wilt thou make men as the fishes of the sea and as the reptiles which have no guide? | |
| 15 | συντέλειαν ἐν ἀγκίστρῳ ἀνέσπασεν καὶ εἵλκυσεν αὐτὸν ἐν ἀμφιβλήστρῳ καὶ συνήγαγεν αὐτὸν ἐν ταῖς σαγήναις αὐτοῦ· ἕνεκεν τούτου εὐφρανθήσεται καὶ χαρήσεται ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ· |
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 | ἕνεκεν τούτου θύσει τῇ σαγήνῃ αὐτοῦ καὶ θυμιάσει τῷ ἀμφιβλήστρῳ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐλίπανεν μερίδα αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ βρώματα αὐτοῦ ἐκλεκτά· |
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 | διὰ τοῦτο ἀμφιβαλεῖ τὸ ἀμφίβληστρον αὐτοῦ καὶ διὰ παντὸς ἀποκτέννειν ἔθνη οὐ φείσεται. |
Therefore will he cast his net and will not spare to slay the nations continually. | |
