1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.

هَذِهِ صَلاةُ حَبَقُّوقَ النَّبِيِّ بِحَسَبِ الرؤيا الَّتي رآها:

2 O Lord, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember 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 as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.

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

5 B efore him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.

يَسِيرُ الوَباءُ أمامَهُ، وَالحُمَّى تَخرُجُ عِندَ قَدَمَيهِ.

6 H e stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.

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: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.

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

8 W as the Lord displeased against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of salvation?

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

9 T hy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.

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

10 T he mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his 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 still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.

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

12 T hou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.

تَدُوسُ الأرْضَ بِسَخَطٍ، وَتَسْحَقُ الأُمَمَ بِغَضَبٍ.

13 T hou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, even for salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah.

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

14 T hou didst strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.

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

15 T hou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, through the heap of great waters.

دُسْتَ عَلَى البَحرِ بِخَيلِكَ فَهَيَّجْتَ المِياهَ العَظِيمَةَ.

16 W hen I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.

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 A lthough the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd 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 joy in the God of my salvation.

فَإنَّنِي سَأفرَحُ بِاللهِ ، وَأبْتَهِجُ بِاللهِ الّذِي يُخَلِّصُنِي.

19 T he Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.

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