Habakkuk 1
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1THE BURDEN which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
1Pa inge mwe fahkak su LEUM GOD El akkalemye nu sin mwet palu Habakkuk.
2How long, O LORD, shall I cry, and Thou wilt not hear? I cry out unto Thee of violence, and Thou wilt not save.
2O LEUM GOD , lusa kac pacl nga ac pang in suk kasru na kom fah lohngyu, ac nga ac tung putaka na kom fah molikutla liki mwe keok?
3Why dost Thou show me iniquity, and beholdest mischief? And why are spoiling and violence before me? so that there is strife, and contention ariseth.
3Efu ku kom oru ngan liye kain in mwe lokoalok inge? Efu ku kom ku in muteng kain orekma sufal inge? Mwe kunausla ac mwe keok rauniyuyak, ac oasr amei ac anwuk orek yen nukewa.
4Therefore the law is slacked, and right doth never go forth; for the wicked doth beset the righteous; therefore right goeth forth perverted.
4Ma sap uh munasla ac wanginla sripa, ac nununku suwohs tiana orek. Mwet koluk uh kutangla mwet wo, ouinge nununku suwohs ikilyukelik.
5Look ye among the nations, and behold, and wonder marvellously; for, behold, a work shall be wrought in your days, which ye will not believe though it be told you.
5Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sin mwet lal, “Suiyana mutunfacl su raunikowosyak, ac kowos fah fwefela ke ma kowos liye. Nga ac oru sie ma, ac kowos ac tia lulalfongi ke kowos ac lohngak uh.
6For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and impetuous nation, that march through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling-places that are not theirs.
6Nga ac sang ku nu sin mwet Babylonia tuh elos in leumi mutunfacl uh. Mwet inge mwet na sulallal ac irpit. Elos oatula som sasla faclu in kutangla acn saya.
7They are terrible and dreadful; their law and their majesty proceed from themselves.
7Elos akyokyelik sangeng ac tuninfong, ac in nunak fulat lalos elos tiana akilen kutena ma sap sayen ma elos lungse oru.
8Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the wolves of the desert; and their horsemen spread themselves; yea, their horsemen come from far, they fly as a vulture that hasteth to devour.
8“Horse natulos uh mui liki kosro leopard, ac sulallal liki wolf masrinsralla uh. Mwet kasrusr fin horse lalos tuku yen loesla me. Horse natulos kihling infohk uh. Elos pwesroulme oana luman won eagle ke elos putati in sruokya ma nalos.
9They come all of them for violence; their faces are set eagerly as the east wind; and they gather captives as the sand.
9“Mwet mweun lalos sikla ac sulallal in anwuk, ac mwet e nukewa elos tuninfongla ke elos ac sikme uh. Pisen mwet elos sruokya uh pukanten oana puhk uh.
10And they scoff at kings, and princes are a derision unto them; they deride every stronghold, for they heap up earth, and take it.
10Elos aklusrongtenye tokosra uh ac isrun mwet leum. Wangin pot ku ac ku in sikululosi — elos ac yolsani fohk uh nu pe pot uh, fanyak kac ac eisla acn uh.
11Then their spirit doth pass over and transgress, and they become guilty: even they who impute their might unto their god.
11Na elos ac tuhyak oana eng uh sasla som. Mwet inge oru mu ku lalos uh pa god lalos.”
12Art not Thou from everlasting, O LORD my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O LORD, Thou hast ordained them for judgment, and Thou, O Rock, hast established them for correction.
12O LEUM GOD , nuna kom na pa God oe ke mutawauk ah me. Kom God luk, su mutal ac moul ma pahtpat. LEUM GOD luk ac Mwet Lango luk, kom sulela mwet Babylonia ac sang ku nu selos elos in mau ku in kalyei kut.
13Thou that art of eyes too pure to behold evil, and that canst not look on mischief, wherefore lookest Thou, when they deal treacherously, and holdest Thy peace, when the wicked swalloweth up the man that is more righteous than he;
13Tusruktu, efu ku kom ku in muteng orekma lun mwet koluk inge? Motom arulana mutalla in liye ma koluk, ac kom arulana srunga liye ke mwet uh oru ma koluk. Ke ma inge efu ku kom mislana ke elos kunausla mwet su arulana suwohs lukelos?
14And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
14Efu ku kom ku in oru mwet uh oana ik uh, ku oana ma orakrak ma wangin leum lalos?
15They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag; therefore they rejoice and exult.
15Mwet Babylonia orekmakin ka in sruokya mwet uh, oana ik uh. Elos amakunulos in nwek natulos, ac sasa ke engankinyen ma elos sruokya!
16Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and offer unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their food plenteous.
16Elos alyalu pacna nu ke nwek natulos ac orek kisa nu kac, mweyen nwek natulos uh pa sang mwe insewowo nu selos.
17Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare to slay the nations continually?
17Ya elos ac orekmakinna cutlass natulos nwe tok, ac nuna kunausna mutanfahl uh ac tia pakomuta?
