1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, set to wild, enthusiastic, and triumphal music.

هَذِهِ صَلاةُ حَبَقُّوقَ النَّبِيِّ بِحَسَبِ الرؤيا الَّتي رآها:

2 O Lord, I have heard the report of You and was afraid. O Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known! In wrath remember love, pity, and mercy.

يا اللهُ ، سَمِعْتُ صِيتَكَ الذّائِعَ. سَمِعْتُ فَارْتَعْتُ مِنْ أعمالِكَ يا اللهُ. لَكِنْ خِلالَ سِنينِ حَياتِنا أحْيِ ذِكرَكَ، خِلالَ سِنينِ حَياتِنا. وَإذا غَضِبْتَ مِنّا، تَذَكَّرْ رَحْمَتَكَ. سِلاهْ

3 G od came from Teman and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah! His glory covered the heavens and the earth was full of His praise.

اللهُ يَأتِي مِنْ تِيمانَ، القُدُّوسُ مِنْ جَبَلِ فارانَ. سِلاهْ مَجْدُهُ يُغَطِّي السَّماءَ، وَالأرْضُ مُمتَلِئَةٌ بِتَرانِيمِ التَّسبِيحِ لَهُ.

4 A nd His brightness was like the sunlight; rays streamed from His hand, and there was the hiding place of His power.

يَأتِي اللَّمَعانُ كَالبَرقِ، وَمَعَهُ شُعاعُ بَرقٍ فِي يَدِهِ لَهُ شُعبَتانِ. يُخفِي قُوَّتَهُ.

5 B efore Him went the pestilence, and burning plague followed His feet.

يَسِيرُ الوَباءُ أمامَهُ، وَالحُمَّى تَخرُجُ عِندَ قَدَمَيهِ.

6 H e stood and measured the earth; He looked and shook the nations, and the eternal mountains were scattered and the perpetual hills bowed low. His ways are everlasting and His goings are of old.

وَقَفَ وَهَزَّ الأرْضَ، نَظَرَ فَاهتَزَّتِ الأُمَمُ مُرتَعِبَةً. تَحَطَّمَتِ الجِبالُ القَدِيمَةُ، وَالتِّلالُ العَتِيقَةُ هَبَطَتْ. يَسلُكُ السُّبُلَ الَّتِي سَلَكَها قَدِيماً.

7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction; the curtains of the land of Midian trembled.

بَدَلاً مِنَ الظُّلمِ الَّذِي رَأيتُهُ، تَرتَجِفُ خِيامُ كُوشانَ، وَسَتائِرُ خِيامِ أِرضِ مِدْيانَ كَذَلِكَ.

8 W ere You displeased with the rivers, O Lord? Or was Your anger against the rivers ? Was Your wrath against the Sea, that You rode upon Your horses and Your chariots of victory and deliverance?

يا اللهُ ، هَلِ اشتَعَلَ غَضَبُكَ عَلَى الأنهارِ؟ هَلْ حَمِيَ غَضَبُكَ عَلَى الأنهارِ، وَسَخَطُكَ عَلَى البَحْرِ؟ ألِهَذا تَركَبُ عَلَى خُيُولٍ وَمَركَباتٍ لِأجلِ الانْتِصارِ؟

9 Y our bow was made quite bare; sworn to the tribes by Your sure word were the rods of chastisement, scourges, and calamities. Selah! With rivers You cleaved the earth.

تُخرِجُ قَوسَكَ مِنْ كِنانَتِهِ، وَتَملأُهُ بِسِهامٍ لا تُحْصَى. سِلاهْ تَشُقُّ الأرْضَ بِالأودِيَةِ.

10 T he mountains saw You; they trembled and writhed. The overflowing of the water passed by; the deep uttered its voice and lifted its hands on high.

رَأتْكَ الجِبالُ فَتَلَوَّتْ مِنَ الألَمِ. سَكَبَتِ الغُيُومُ الثَّقِيلَةُ مِياهَها، وَأعماقُ المُحِيطاتِ زَمْجَرَتْ حِينَ رَفَعَتْ أيدِيها لِلإحاطَةِ بِاليابِسَةِ.

11 T he sun and moon stood back in their habitation at the light of Your arrows as they sped, at the flash of Your glittering spear.

الشَّمْسُ وَالقَمَرُ وَقَفا فِي مَسكَنِهِما المُرتَفِعِ. النُّورُ الوَحِيدُ هُوَ نُورُ سِهامِكَ الطّائِرَةِ، بَرِيقُ رُمحِكَ يُنِيرُ السَّماءَ.

12 Y ou marched through the land in indignation; You trampled and threshed the nations in anger.

تَدُوسُ الأرْضَ بِسَخَطٍ، وَتَسْحَقُ الأُمَمَ بِغَضَبٍ.

13 Y ou went forth and have come for the salvation of Your people, for the deliverance and victory of Your anointed; You smote the head of the house of the wicked, laying bare the foundation even to the neck. Selah!

خَرَجْتَ لِتُنقِذَ شَعبَكَ، لِتُنقِذَ المَلِكَ الَّذِي مَسَحْتَهُ. ضَرَبْتَ قائِدَ الأشرارِ، وَنَزَعْتَ جِلْدَهُ مِنْ أسفَلِ ظَهرِهِ إلَى عُنُقِهِ. سِلاهْ

14 Y ou pierced with his own arrows the head of hordes; they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me, rejoicing as if to devour the poor secretly.

طَعَنْتَ بِسِهامِهِ قائِدَ جُنُودِهِ الَّذِينَ هَجَمُوا عَلَيْنا كَعاصِفَةٍ لِيُبَدِّدُونا. احتَفَلُوا كَمَنْ يَفرَحُ بِالتِهامِ مِسكِينٍ فِي الخَفاءِ.

15 Y ou have trodden the sea with Your horses, the heap of great and surging waters.

دُسْتَ عَلَى البَحرِ بِخَيلِكَ فَهَيَّجْتَ المِياهَ العَظِيمَةَ.

16 I heard and my trembled; my lips quivered at the sound. Rottenness enters into my bones and under me; I tremble. I will wait quietly for the day of trouble and distress when there shall come up against people him who is about to invade and oppress them.

سَمِعْتُ هَذا، فَارتَعَبَتْ أحشائِي. ارتَجَفَتْ شَفَتايَ عِندَ سَماعِ الصَّوتِ. شَعَرْتُ كَأنَّ النَّخْرَ يَدخُلُ إلَى عِظامِي، ارتَجَفَتْ رِجلايَ تَحتِي. سَأنتَظِرُ بِصَبْرٍ مَجِيءَ وَقتِ الضِّيقِ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يُهاجِمُونَنا.

17 T hough the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, the product of the olive fails and the fields yield no food, though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls,

فِإنْ كانَ شَجَرُ التِّينِ لا يُزْهِرُ، وَلا تُنتِجُ الكُرُومُ عِنَباً، وَإنْ ذَبُلَ شَجَرُ الزَّيتُونِ، وَلَمْ تُعطِ الحُقُولُ طَعاماً، وَإنْ فَرَغَتْ حَظِيرةُ الغَنَمِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ بَقَرٌ فِي الزَّرائِبِ،

18 Y et I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the God of my salvation!

فَإنَّنِي سَأفرَحُ بِاللهِ ، وَأبْتَهِجُ بِاللهِ الّذِي يُخَلِّصُنِي.

19 T he Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds’ feet and will make me to walk and make progress upon my high places! For the Chief Musician; with my stringed instruments.

اللهُ رَبِّي هُوَ قُوَّتِي. يَجعَلُ قَدَمَيَّ كَقَدَمَي غَزالٍ، فَأمشِيَ عَلَى المُرتَفَعاتِ. لِقائِدِ التَّسبِيحِ، عَلَى الآلاتِ الوَتَرِيَّةِ.
