A PRAYER OF THE PROPHET AMBACUM, WITH A SONG. | Habakkuk's prayer. Hab.3.1-19 |
| 2 | Κύριε, εἰσακήκοα τὴν ἀκοήν σου καὶ ἐφοβήθην·
κατενόησα τὰ ἔργα σου καὶ ἐξέστην.
ἐν μέσῳ δύο ζῴων γνωσθήσῃ,
ἐν τῷ ἐγγίζειν τὰ ἔτη ἐπιγνωσθήσῃ,
ἐν τῷ παρεῖναι τὸν καιρὸν ἀναδειχθήσῃ,
ἐν τῷ ταραχθῆναι τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐν ὀργῇ ἐλέους μνησθήσῃ.
|
O Lord, I have heard thy report, and was afraid:
I considered thy works, and was amazed:
thou shalt be known between the two living creatures, thou shalt be acknowledged when the years draw nigh; thou shalt be manifested when the time is come; when my soul is troubled, thou wilt in wrath remember mercy. | |
| 3 | ὁ θεὸς ἐκ Θαιμαν ἥξει,
καὶ ὁ ἅγιος ἐξ ὄρους κατασκίου δασέος. διάψαλμα.
ἐκάλυψεν οὐρανοὺς ἡ ἀρετὴ αὐτοῦ,
καὶ αἰνέσεως αὐτοῦ πλήρης ἡ γῆ.
|
God shall come from Thaeman, and the Holy One from the dark shady mount Pharan. Pause. | |
| 4 | καὶ φέγγος αὐτοῦ ὡς φῶς ἔσται,
κέρατα ἐν χερσὶν αὐτοῦ,
καὶ ἔθετο ἀγάπησιν κραταιὰν ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ.
|
His excellence covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. And his brightness shall be as light; [there were] horns in his hands, and he caused a mighty love of his strength. | |
| 5 | πρὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ πορεύσεται λόγος καὶ ἐξελεύσεται ἐν πεδίλοις
οἱ πόδες αὐτοῦ |
Before his face shall go a report, and it shall go forth into the plains, | |
| 6 | ἔστη, καὶ ἐσαλεύθη ἡ γῆ·
ἐπέβλεψεν, καὶ διετάκη ἔθνη.
διεθρύβη τὰ ὄρη βίᾳ,
ἐτάκησαν βουνοὶ αἰώνιοι |
the earth stood at his feet and trembled: he beheld, and the nations melted away: the mountains were violently burst through, the everlasting hills melted at his everlasting going forth. | |
| 7 | πορείας αἰωνίας αὐτοῦ
ἀντὶ κόπων εἶδον σκηνώματα Αἰθιόπων·
πτοηθήσονται καὶ αἱ σκηναὶ γῆς Μαδιαμ.
|
Because of troubles I looked upon the tents of the Ethiopians: the tabernacles also of the land of Madiam shall be dismayed. | |
| 8 | μὴ ἐν ποταμοῖς ὠργίσθης, Κύριε,
ἢ ἐν ποταμοῖς ὁ θυμός σου,
ἢ ἐν θαλάσσῃ τὸ ὅρμημά σου;
ὅτι ἐπιβήσῃ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἵππους σου,
καὶ ἡ ἱππασία σου σωτηρία.
|
Wast thou angry, O Lord, with the rivers? or [was] thy wrath against the rivers, or thine anger against the sea? for thou wilt mount on thine horses, and thy chariots are salvation. | |
| 9 | ἐντείνων ἐντενεῖς τὸ τόξον σου ἐπὶ τὰ σκῆπτρα, λέγει Κύριος. διάψαλμα.
ποταμῶν ῥαγήσεται γῆ.
|
Surely thou didst bend they bow at scepters, saith the Lord. Pause. The land of rivers shall be torn asunder. | |
| 10 | ὄψονταί σε καὶ ὠδινήσουσιν λαοί,
σκορπίζων ὕδατα πορείας αὐτοῦ·
ἔδωκεν ἡ ἄβυσσος φωνὴν αὐτῆς,
ὕψος φαντασίας αὐτῆς.
|
The nations shall see thee and be in pain, [as thou dost] divide the moving waters: the deep uttered her voice, and raised her form on high. | |
| 11 | ἐπήρθη ὁ ἥλιος, καὶ ἡ σελήνη ἔστη ἐν τῇ τάξει αὐτῆς·
εἰς φῶς βολίδες σου πορεύσονται,
εἰς φέγγος ἀστραπῆς ὅπλων σου.
|
The sun was exalted, and the moon stood still in her course: thy darts shall go forth at the light, at the brightness of the gleaming of thine arms. | |
| 12 | ἐν ἀπειλῇ ὀλιγώσεις γῆν,
καὶ ἐν θυμῷ κατάξεις ἔθνη.
|
Thou wilt bring low the land with threatening, and in wrath thou wilt break down the nations. | |
| 13 | ἐξῆλθες εἰς σωτηρίαν λαοῦ σου
τοῦ σῶσαι τοὺς χριστούς σου·
ἔβαλες εἰς κεφαλὰς ἀνόμων θάνατον,
ἐξήγειρας δεσμοὺς ἕως τραχήλου. διάψαλμα.
|
Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, to save thine anointed: thou shalt bring death on the heads of transgressors; thou has brought bands upon [their] neck. Pause. | |
| 14 | διέκοψας ἐν ἐκστάσει κεφαλὰς δυναστῶν,
σεισθήσονται ἐν αὐτῇ·
διανοίξουσιν χαλινοὺς αὐτῶν ὡς ἔσθων πτωχὸς λάθρᾳ.
|
Thou didst cut asunder the heads of princes with amazement, they shall tremble in it; they shall burst their bridles, [they shall be] as a poor man devouring in secret. | |
| 15 | καὶ ἐπεβίβασας εἰς θάλασσαν τοὺς ἵππους σου
ταράσσοντας ὕδωρ πολύ.
|
And thou dost cause thine horses to enter the sea, disturbing much water. | |
| 16 | ἐφυλαξάμην, καὶ ἐπτοήθη ἡ κοιλία μου,
ἀπὸ φωνῆς προσευχῆς χειλέων μου,
καὶ εἰσῆλθεν τρόμος εἰς τὰ ὀστᾶ μου,
καὶ ὑποκάτωθέν μου ἐταράχθη ἡ ἕξις μου.
ἀναπαύσομαι ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεως
τοῦ ἀναβῆναι εἰς λαὸν παροικίας μου.
|
I watched, and my belly trembled at the sound of the prayer of my lips, and trembling entered into my bones, and my frame was troubled within me; I will rest in the day of affliction, fro going up to the people of my sojourning. | |
| 17 | διότι συκῆ οὐ καρποφορήσει,
καὶ οὐκ ἔσται γενήματα ἐν ταῖς ἀμπέλοις·
ψεύσεται ἔργον ἐλαίας,
καὶ τὰ πεδία οὐ ποιήσει βρῶσιν·
ἐξέλιπον ἀπὸ βρώσεως πρόβατα,
καὶ οὐχ ὑπάρχουσιν βόες ἐπὶ φάτναις.
|
For [though] the fig-tree shall bear no fruit, and there shall be no produce on the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall produce no food: the sheep have failed from the pasture, and there are no oxen at the cribs; | |
| 18 | ἐγὼ δὲ ἐν τῷ κυρίῳ ἀγαλλιάσομαι,
χαρήσομαι ἐπὶ τῷ θεῷ τῷ σωτῆρί μου.
|
yet I will exult in the Lord, I will joy in God my Saviour. | |
| 19 | Κύριος ὁ θεὸς δύναμίς μου,
καὶ τάξει τοὺς πόδας μου εἰς συντέλειαν·
ἐπὶ τὰ ὑψηλὰ ἐπιβιβᾷ με
τοῦ νικῆσαι ἐν τῇ ᾠδῇ αὐτοῦ. |
The Lord God is my strength, and he will perfectly strengthen my feet; he mounts me upon high places, that I may conquer by his song. | |
