1 K anu waa waxa culus ee uu Nebi Xabaquuq arkay.

The burden which the prophet Habakkuk saw. The Prophet’s Question

2 R abbiyow, ilaa goormaan kuu qayshadaa, oo adna aadan i maqlayn? Dulmi baan kaaga qayshadaa, oo namana aad badbaadisid.

O Lord, how long shall I cry, And You will not hear? Even cry out to You, “Violence!” And You will not save.

3 B al maxaad xumaan ii tustaa oo aad qallooc iigu jeedisaa? Waayo, waxaa hortayda yaal halligaad iyo dulmi, oo waxaa kor u kaca dirir iyo dagaal.

Why do You show me iniquity, And cause me to see trouble? For plundering and violence are before me; There is strife, and contention arises.

4 S idaas daraaddeed sharcigii waa dabcay oo caddaaladduna hore uma socoto, waayo, kii sharrow ah ayaa hareereeya kii xaq ah, oo sidaas daraaddeed garsooridda waa la qalloociyaa. Jawaabtii Rabbiga

Therefore the law is powerless, And justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous; Therefore perverse judgment proceeds. The Lord ’s Reply

5 B al eega quruumaha dhexdooda, ka fiirsada oo aad u yaaba, waayo, maalmihiinnii waxaan samaynayaa shuqul aydaan rumaysan doonin in kastoo laydiin sheego.

“Look among the nations and watch— Be utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days Which you would not believe, though it were told you.

6 W aayo, bal eega, waxaan soo kicinayaa reer Kaldayiin oo ah quruuntaas qadhaadh oo degdegga badan oo dhulka ballaadhkiisa mara inay hantiyaan meelo la dego oo ayan iyagu lahayn.

For indeed I am raising up the Chaldeans, A bitter and hasty nation Which marches through the breadth of the earth, To possess dwelling places that are not theirs.

7 I yagu waa kuwa laga cabsado oo aad looga baqo; xukunkooda iyo sharaftoodu iyagay ka soo baxaan.

They are terrible and dreadful; Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.

8 F ardahoodu way ka sii dheereeyaan shabeelka, oo way ka sii cabsi badan yihiin yeyda fiidka, oo fardooleydooduna way iskala bixiyaan, haah, oo fardooleydooduna meel fog bay ka yimaadaan, oo waxay u soo duulaan sida gorgor u soo degdegaya inuu wax dhufsado oo cuno.

Their horses also are swifter than leopards, And more fierce than evening wolves. Their chargers charge ahead; Their cavalry comes from afar; They fly as the eagle that hastens to eat.

9 D hammaantood waxay u yimaadaan inay wax xoogaan, oo damaca wejigooduna waa sida dabaysha bari, oo waxay urursadaan maxaabiis sida cammuudda u badan.

“They all come for violence; Their faces are set like the east wind. They gather captives like sand.

10 C adowgu boqorro wuu quudhsadaa, oo amiirrona wuu fududaystaa, oo qalcad kastana wuu ku qoslaa, waayo, intuu ciid tuulaa ayuu iska qabsadaa.

They scoff at kings, And princes are scorned by them. They deride every stronghold, For they heap up earthen mounds and seize it.

11 M arkaas sida dabayl buu u dhaafi doonaa, oo wuu sii gudbi doonaa, oo dembi buu lahaan doonaa kan xooggiisu ilaah u yahay. Cabashadii Labaad Ee Xabaquuq

Then his mind changes, and he transgresses; He commits offense, Ascribing this power to his god.” The Prophet’s Second Question

12 R abbiyow, Ilaahaygiiyow, kayga Quduuska ahow, sow adigu weligaaba ma aad jiri jirin? Annagu dhiman mayno. Rabbiyow, isaga waxaad u diyaarisay xukun, oo waxaad u xoogaysay edbin, kaaga Dhagaxa weyn ahow.

Are You not from everlasting, O Lord my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O Lord, You have appointed them for judgment; O Rock, You have marked them for correction.

13 W axaad tahay mid indhihiisu ka sii daahirsan yihiin inay wax shar ah eegaan, oo qalloocna ma fiirin kartid, haddaba bal maxaad u fiirisaa kuwa khiyaanada sameeya? Oo maxaad u aamusan tahay marka sharrowgu liqo ninka isaga ka sii xaq yahay?

You are of purer eyes than to behold evil, And cannot look on wickedness. Why do You look on those who deal treacherously, And hold Your tongue when the wicked devours A person more righteous than he?

14 O o maxaad dadka uga dhigtaa sida kalluunka badda, iyo sida waxa gurguurta oo aan lahayn mid iyaga u taliya?

Why do You make men like fish of the sea, Like creeping things that have no ruler over them?

15 I sagu dhammaantood ayuu jillaab ku soo qaataa, oo shabaggiisuu ku soo qabsadaa, oo intuu shabaggiisa ku soo wada urursado ayuu soo jiitaa, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed wuu reyreeyaa oo farxaa.

They take up all of them with a hook, They catch them in their net, And gather them in their dragnet. Therefore they rejoice and are glad.

16 H addaba sidaas daraaddeed allabari buu u bixiyaa shabaggiisa, oo fooxna wuu u shidaa shabagguu jiita, maxaa yeelay, iyaga ayaa qaybtiisii ku barwaaqowday, oo quudkiisiina aad iyo aad batay.

Therefore they sacrifice to their net, And burn incense to their dragnet; Because by them their share is sumptuous And their food plentiful.

17 H addaba miyuu shabaggiisa madhin doonaa, oo miyuu quruumaha had iyo goorba layn doonaa, isagoo aan u tudhin?

Shall they therefore empty their net, And continue to slay nations without pity?
