Habakkuk, 3

1. A Prayer of Habakkuk the Prophet on Behalf of Those Who Are Ignorant.

1. Molitva. Od proroka Habakuka. Na naèin tužbalice.

2. Lord, I heard what has been said about you, and I was afraid. Lord, your work, in the midst of years, revive it. In the midst of years, you will make it known. When you have become angry, you will remember mercy.

2. Jahve, èuo sam za slavu tvoju, Jahve, tvoje mi djelo ulijeva jezu! Ponovi ga u naše vrijeme! Otkrij ga u naše vrijeme! U gnjevu se svojem smilovanja sjeti!

3. God will come from the south, and the Holy One from mount Pharan. His glory has covered the heavens, and the earth is full of his praise.

3. Bog stiže iz Temana, a Svetac s planine Parana! Velièanstvo njegovo zastire nebesa, zemlja mu je puna slave.

4. His brightness shall be like the light; horns are in his hands. There, his strength has been hidden.

4. Sjaj mu je k'o svjetlost, zrake sijevaju iz njegovih ruku, ondje mu se krije sila.

5. Death will go forth before his face. And the devil shall depart before his feet.

5. Kuga pred njim ide, groznica ga sustopice prati.

6. He stood, and measured the earth. He looked, and dissolved the Gentiles. And the mountains of ages past have been shattered. The hills of the world became curved by the journeys of his eternity.

6. On stane, i zemlja se trese, on pogleda, i dršæu narodi. Tad se raspadoše vjeène planine, bregovi stari propadoše, njegove su staze od vjeènosti.

7. I saw the tents of Ethiopia for their iniquity; the tent-skins of the land of Midian will be thrown into confusion.

7. Prestrašene vidjeh kušanske šatore, èadore što dršæu u zemlji midjanskoj.

8. Could you have been angry with the rivers, Lord? Or was your fury within the rivers, or your indignation in the sea? He will ascend upon your horses, and your four-horse chariots are salvation.

8. Jahve, planu li tvoj gnjev na rijeke ili jarost tvoja na more te jezdiš na svojim konjima, na pobjednièkim bojnim kolima?

9. Being stirred up, you will take up your bow, the oaths you have spoken to the tribes. You will split apart the Rivers of the earth.

9. Otkrivaš svoj luk i otrovnim ga strijelama sitiš. Bujicama rasijecaš tlo,

10. They saw you, and the mountains grieved. The great body of waters crossed over. The abyss uttered its voice. The pinnacle lifted up its hands.

10. planine dršæu kad te vide, navaljuje oblaka prolom, bezdan diže svoj glas.

11. The sun and the moon have stood firm in their dwelling place; with the light of your arrows, they shall go forth in the splendor of your flashing spear.

11. Sunce uvis diže ruke, mjesec u obitavalištu svojem popostaje, pred blijeskom tvojih strijela, pred blistavim sjajem koplja tvoga.

12. With a roar, you will trample the earth. In your fury, you will cause the nations to be stupefied.

12. Jarosno po zemlji koraèaš, srdito gaziš narode.

13. You have gone forth for the salvation of your people, for salvation with your Christ. You struck the head of the house of the impious. You have laid bare his foundation all the way to the neck.

13. Iziðe da spasiš narod svoj, da spasiš svog pomazanika; sori vrh kuæe bezbožnikove, ogoli joj temelje do stijene.

14. You have cursed his scepters, the head of his warriors, those who approached like a whirlwind so as to scatter me. Their exultation was like one who devours the poor in secret.

14. Kopljima si izbo voðu ratnika njegovih, koji navališe da nas s radošæu satru, kao da æe potajice proždrijet' ubogoga.

15. You made a way in the sea for your horses, in the mud of great waters.

15. Gaziš po moru s konjima svojim, po puèini silnih voda!

16. I heard, and my stomach became troubled. My lips trembled at the voice. Let decay enter into my bones and gush forth from within me. Then I may rest in the day of tribulation, so that I may ascend to our people well-prepared.

16. Èuo sam! Sva se moja utroba trese, podrhtavaju mi usne na taj zvuk, trulež prodire u kosti moje, noge klecaju poda mnom. Poèinut æu kada dan tjeskobni svane narodu što nas sad napada.

17. For the fig tree will not flower, and there will be no bud on the vines. The labor of the olive tree will be misleading, and the farmland will produce no food. The sheep will be cut off from the sheepfold, and there will be no herd at the manger.

17. Jer smokvino drvo neæe više cvasti niti æe na lozi biti ploda, maslina æe uskratiti rod, polja neæe donijeti hrane, ovaca æe nestati iz tora, u oborima neæe biti ni goveda.

18. But I will rejoice in the Lord; and I will exult in God my Jesus.

18. Ali ja æu se radovati u Jahvi i kliktat æu u Bogu, svojem Spasitelju.

19. The Lord God is my strength. And he will set my feet like those of the stag. And he, the victor, will lead me beyond my high places while singing psalms.

19. Jahve, moj Gospod, moja je snaga, on mi daje noge poput košutinih i vodi me na visine. Zborovoði. Na žièanim glazbalima.
