1預言者ハバククが見た啓示。
1The burden that Habacuc the prophet saw.
2主 よ、いつまで私が叫んでも、あなたはお聞きにならないのか。私が「暴虐だ」と叫んでも、救ってくださらないのか。
2How long, O Lord, shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear? shall I cry out to thee suffering violence, and thou wilt not save?
3なぜ私に不義を見せ、よこしまを黙って見ておられるのか。破壊と暴虐が私の前にあり、争いが起こり、いさかいが湧き上がる。
3Why hast thou shewn me iniquity and grievance, to see rapine and injustice before me? and there is a judgment, but opposition is more powerful.
4それゆえ、律法は力を失い、公正は決して行き渡らない。悪者が義人を取り囲み、公正はねじ曲げられる。
4Therefore the law is torn in pieces, and judgment cometh not to the end: because the wicked prevaileth against the just, therefore wrong judgment goeth forth.
5「諸国民の間を見渡し、よく見よ。驚き、驚け。私はあなたがたの時代に、驚くべきみわざを行う。たとえ告げられても、あなたがたは信じない。
5Behold ye among the nations, and see: wonder, and be astonished: for a work is done in your days, which no man will believe when it shall be told.
6見よ、 私はカルデア人を起こす。彼らは激しく性急な国民で、地の果てまで駆け巡り、自分たちのものではない住まいを奪い取る。
6For behold, I will raise up the Chaldeans, a bitter and swift nation, marching upon the breadth of the earth, to possess the dwelling places that are not their own.
7彼らは恐ろしく、畏怖を起こす。その裁きも威厳も、自らを源とする。
7They are dreadful, and terrible: from themselves shall their judgment, and their burden proceed.
8その馬は豹より速く、夕暮れの狼より獰猛だ。その騎兵は猛然と駆け進む。騎兵は遠くから来て、獲物を食らおうと急ぐ鷲のように飛ぶ。
8Their horses are lighter than leopards, and swifter than evening wolves; and their horsemen shall be spread abroad: for their horsemen shall come from afar, they shall fly as an eagle that maketh haste to eat.
9彼らは皆、暴虐を行うために来る。その大軍はひたすら前へ進み、捕虜を砂のように集める。
9They shall all come to the prey, their face is like a burning wind: and they shall gather together captives as the sand.
10彼らは王たちをあざけり、君主たちを物笑いにする。どんな要塞をも笑い、土塁を築いて攻め取る。
10And their prince shall triumph over kings, and princes shall be his laughingstock: and he shall laugh at every strong hold, and shall cast up a mount, and shall take it.
11そして風のように一気に吹き過ぎ、進み去る。自分の力を神とする彼らは、まことに罪ある者だ。」
11Then shall his spirit be changed, and he shall pass, and fall: this is his strength of his god.
12主よ、私の神、私の聖なる方よ、あなたは永遠の昔からおられる方ではないか。われわれは死なない。主よ、あなたは裁きのために彼らを立てられた。岩なる方よ、懲らしめるためにこの者を据えられた。
12Wast thou not from the beginning, O Lord my God, my holy one, and we shall not die? Lord, thou hast appointed him for judgment: and made him strong for correction.
13あなたの目は清く、悪を見るに耐えず、よこしまを黙って見過ごされない。それなのに、なぜ裏切る者たちを容認し、悪者が自分より正しい者をのみ込む時、沈黙しておられるのか。
13Thy eyes are too pure to behold evil, and thou canst not look on iniquity. Why lookest thou upon them that do unjust things, and holdest thy peace when the wicked devoureth the man that is more just than himself?
14なぜ人を海の魚のように、治める者のない這うもののようにされるのか。
14And thou wilt make men as the fishes of the sea, and as the creeping things that have no ruler.
15彼は人々を皆、釣り針で釣り上げ、網で捕らえ、引き網で集める。それゆえ彼は喜び、楽しむ。
15He lifted up all them with his hook, he drew them in his drag, and gathered them into his net: for this he will be glad and rejoice.
16そのため彼は自分の網にいけにえをささげ、引き網に香をたく。それらによってぜいたくに暮らし、豊かな食物を得るからだ。
16Therefore will he offer victims to his drag, and he will sacrifice to his net: because through them his portion is made fat, and his meat dainty.
17それでは彼は絶えず網を空にし、あわれみもなく諸国民を殺し続けるのか。
17For this cause therefore he spreadeth his net, and will not spare continually to slay the nations.
