Berean Standard Bible
Reina-Valera 1909
1This is the burden that Habakkuk the prophet received in a vision:
1LA carga que vió Habacuc profeta.
2How long, O LORD, must I call for help but You do not hear, or cry out to You, “Violence!” but You do not save?
2¿Hasta cuándo, oh Jehová, clamaré, y no oirás; y daré voces á ti á causa de la violencia, y no salvarás?
3Why do You make me see iniquity? Why do You tolerate wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are before me. Strife is ongoing, and conflict abounds.
3¿Por qué me haces ver iniquidad, y haces que mire molestia, y saco y violencia delante de mí, habiendo además quien levante pleito y contienda?
4Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted.
4Por lo cual la ley es debilitada, y el juicio no sale verdadero: por cuanto el impío asedia al justo, por eso sale torcido el juicio.
5“Look at the nations and observe— be utterly astounded! For I am doing a work in your days that you would never believe even if someone told you.
5Mirad en las gentes, y ved, y maravillaos pasmosamente; porque obra será hecha en vuestros días, que aun cuando se os contare, no la creeréis.
6For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans — that ruthless and impetuous nation which marches through the breadth of the earth to seize dwellings not their own.
6Porque he aquí, yo levanto los Caldeos, gente amarga y presurosa, que camina por la anchura de la tierra para poseer las habitaciones ajenas.
7They are dreaded and feared; from themselves they derive justice and sovereignty.
7Espantosa es y terrible: de ella misma saldrá su derecho y su grandeza.
8Their horses are swifter than leopards, fiercer than wolves of the night. Their horsemen charge ahead, and their cavalry comes from afar. They fly like a vulture, swooping down to devour.
8Y serán sus caballos más ligeros que tigres, y más agudos que lobos de tarde; y sus jinetes se multiplicarán: vendrán de lejos sus caballeros, y volarán como águilas que se apresuran á la comida.
9All of them come bent on violence; their hordes advance like the east wind; they gather prisoners like sand.
9Toda ella vendrá á la presa: delante de sus caras viento solano; y juntará cautivos como arena.
10They scoff at kings and make rulers an object of scorn. They laugh at every fortress and build up siege ramps to seize it.
10Y escarnecerá de los reyes, y de los príncipes hará burla: reiráse de toda fortaleza, y amontonará polvo, y la tomará.
11Then they sweep by like the wind and pass on through. They are guilty; their own strength is their god.”
11Luego mudará espíritu, y pasará adelante, y ofenderá atribuyendo esta su potencia á su dios.
12Are You not from everlasting, O LORD, my God, my Holy One? We will not die. O LORD, You have appointed them to execute judgment; O Rock, You have established them for correction.
12¿No eres tú desde el principio, oh Jehová, Dios mío, Santo mío? No moriremos. Oh Jehová, para juicio lo pusiste; y tú, oh Roca, lo fundaste para castigar.
13Your eyes are too pure to look upon evil, and You cannot tolerate wrongdoing. So why do You tolerate the faithless? Why are You silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves?
13Muy limpio eres de ojos para ver el mal, ni puedes ver el agravio: ¿por qué ves los menospreciadores, y callas cuando destruye el impío al más justo que él,
14You have made men like the fish of the sea, like creeping things that have no ruler.
14Y haces que sean los hombres como los peces de la mar, como reptiles que no tienen señor?
15The foe pulls all of them up with a hook; he catches them in his dragnet, and gathers them in his fishing net; so he rejoices gladly.
15Sacará á todos con anzuelo, cogerálos con su red, y juntarálos en su aljerife: por lo cual se holgará y hará alegrías.
16Therefore he sacrifices to his dragnet and burns incense to his fishing net, for by these things his portion is sumptuous and his food is rich.
16Por esto hará sacrificios á su red, y ofrecerá sahumerios á su aljerife: porque con ellos engordó su porción, y engrasó su comida.
17Will he, therefore, empty his net and continue to slay nations without mercy?
17¿Vaciará por eso su red, ó tendrá piedad de matar gentes continuamente?
