Habakkuk 1

KJV

1  The burden4853 which834 Habakkuk2265 the prophet5030 did see.2372

2  O LORD,3068 how long5704 575 shall I cry,7768 and thou wilt not3808 hear!8085 even cry out2199 unto413 thee of violence,2555 and thou wilt not3808 save!3467

3  Why4100 dost thou show7200 me iniquity,205 and cause me to behold5027 grievance?5999 for spoiling7701 and violence2555 are before5048 me: and there are1961 that raise up5375 strife7379 and contention.4066

4  Therefore5921 3651 the law8451 is slacked,6313 and judgment4941 doth never3808 5331 go forth:3318 for3588 the wicked7563 doth compass about3803 853 the righteous;6662 therefore5921 3651 wrong6127 judgment4941 proceedeth.3318

5  Behold7200 ye among the heathen,1471 and regard,5027 and wonder marvelously:8539 8539 for3588 I will work6466 a work6467 in your days,3117 which ye will not3808 believe,539 though3588 it be told5608 you.

6  For,3588 lo,2009 I raise up6965 853 the Chaldeans,3778 that bitter4751 and hasty4116 nation,1471 which shall march1980 through the breadth4800 of the land,776 to possess3423 the dwelling places4908 that are not3808 theirs.

7  They1931 are terrible366 and dreadful:3372 their judgment4941 and their dignity7613 shall proceed3318 of4480 themselves.

8  Their horses5483 also are swifter7043 than the leopards,4480 5246 and are more fierce2300 than the evening6153 wolves:4480 2061 and their horsemen6571 shall spread6335 themselves, and their horsemen6571 shall come935 from far;4480 7350 they shall fly5774 as the eagle5404 that hasteth2363 to eat.398

9  They shall come935 all3605 for violence:2555 their faces6440 shall sup up4041 as the east wind,6921 and they shall gather622 the captivity7628 as the sand.2344

10  And they1931 shall scoff7046 at the kings,4428 and the princes7336 shall be a scorn4890 unto them: they1931 shall deride7832 every3605 stronghold;4013 for they shall heap6651 dust,6083 and take3920 it.

11  Then227 shall his mind7307 change,2498 and he shall pass over,5674 and offend,816 imputing this2098 his power3581 unto his god.433

12  Art thou859 not3808 from everlasting,4480 6924 O LORD3068 my God,430 mine Holy One?6918 we shall not3808 die.4191 O LORD,3068 thou hast ordained7760 them for judgment;4941 and, O mighty God,6697 thou hast established3245 them for correction.3198

13  Thou art of purer2889 eyes5869 than to behold4480 7200 evil,7451 and canst3201 not3808 look5027 on413 iniquity:5999 wherefore4100 lookest5027 thou upon them that deal treacherously,898 and holdest thy tongue2790 when the wicked7563 devoureth1104 the man that is more righteous6662 than4480 he?

14  And makest6213 men120 as the fishes1709 of the sea,3220 as the creeping things,7431 that have no3808 ruler4910 over them?

15  They take up5927 all3605 of them with the angle,2443 they catch1641 them in their net,2764 and gather622 them in their drag:4365 therefore5921 3651 they rejoice8055 and are glad.1523

16  Therefore5921 3651 they sacrifice2076 unto their net,2764 and burn incense6999 unto their drag;4365 because3588 by them1992 their portion2506 is fat,8082 and their meat3978 plenteous.1277

17  Shall they therefore5921 3651 empty7324 their net,2764 and not3808 spare2550 continually8548 to slay2026 the nations?1471

1 τὸ λῆμμα ὃ εἶδεν Αμβακουμ ὁ προφήτης

2 ἕως τίνος κύριε κεκράξομαι καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσακούσῃς βοήσομαι πρὸς σὲ ἀδικούμενος καὶ οὐ σώσεις

3 ἵνα τί μοι ἔδειξας κόπους καὶ πόνους ἐπιβλέπειν ταλαιπωρίαν καὶ ἀσέβειαν ἐξ ἐναντίας μου γέγονεν κρίσις καὶ ὁ κριτὴς λαμβάνει

4 διὰ τοῦτο διεσκέδασται νόμος καὶ οὐ διεξάγεται εἰς τέλος κρίμα ὅτι ὁ ἀσεβὴς καταδυναστεύει τὸν δίκαιον ἕνεκεν τούτου ἐξελεύσεται τὸ κρίμα διεστραμμένον

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

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

7 φοβερὸς καὶ ἐπιφανής ἐστιν ἐξ αὐτοῦ τὸ κρίμα αὐτοῦ ἔσται καὶ τὸ λῆμμα αὐτοῦ ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἐξελεύσεται

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

9 συντέλεια εἰς ἀσεβεῖς ἥξει ἀνθεστηκότας προσώποις αὐτῶν ἐξ ἐναντίας καὶ συνάξει ὡς ἄμμον αἰχμαλωσίαν

10 καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν βασιλεῦσιν ἐντρυφήσει καὶ τύραννοι παίγνια αὐτοῦ καὶ αὐτὸς εἰς πᾶν ὀχύρωμα ἐμπαίξεται καὶ βαλεῖ χῶμα καὶ κρατήσει αὐτοῦ

11 τότε μεταβαλεῖ τὸ πνεῦμα καὶ διελεύσεται καὶ ἐξιλάσεται αὕτη ἡ ἰσχὺς τῷ θεῷ μου

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

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

14 καὶ ποιήσεις τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ὡς τοὺς ἰχθύας τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ ὡς τὰ ἑρπετὰ τὰ οὐκ ἔχοντα ἡγούμενον

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

16 ἕνεκεν τούτου θύσει τῇ σαγήνῃ αὐτοῦ καὶ θυμιάσει τῷ ἀμφιβλήστρῳ αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἐν αὐτοῖς ἐλίπανεν μερίδα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ βρώματα αὐτοῦ ἐκλεκτά

17 διὰ τοῦτο ἀμφιβαλεῖ τὸ ἀμφίβληστρον αὐτοῦ καὶ διὰ παντὸς ἀποκτέννειν ἔθνη οὐ φείσεται

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.]
