1 T anu waa salaaddii Xabaquuq, oo lagu luuqeeyo Shigyonood.

A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet concerning erring ones:

2 R abbiyow, waxaan maqlay warkaagii, waanan cabsanayaa. Rabbiyow, shuqulkaaga soo noolee sannadaha dhexdooda, Sannadaha dhexdooda ogeysii, Oo markii aad cadhootid naxariis soo xusuuso.

O Jehovah, I heard thy report, I have been afraid, O Jehovah, Thy work! in midst of years revive it, In the midst of years Thou makest known In anger Thou dost remember mercy.

3 I laah wuxuu ka yimid Teemaan, Kii Quduuska ahaana wuxuu ka yimid Buur Faaraan. (Selaah) Sharaftiisii waxay ku fidday samooyinka, Oo dhulkiina waxaa ka buuxsamay ammaantiisii.

God from Teman doth come, The Holy One from mount Paran. Pause! Covered the heavens hath His majesty, And His praise hath filled the earth.

4 O o dhalaalkiisiina wuxuu ahaa sida nuurka, Wuxuuna lahaa iftiin gacantiisa ka soo baxaya. Oo waxaa halkaas ku qarsoonaa xooggiisa.

And the brightness is as the light, He hath rays out of His hand, And there -- the hiding of His strength.

5 W axaa hortiisa socday belaayo, Oo waxaa daba socday xummad.

Before Him goeth pestilence, And a burning flame goeth forth at His feet.

6 W uu istaagay, oo dhulkuu qiyaasay, Wax buu fiiriyey, oo quruumihii buu kala eryay. Kolkaasaa buurihii weligood ahaa kala firdheen, Oo kurihii daa'imiska ahaana way wada foororsadeen. Socodkiisuna wuxuu ahaa sidii waagii hore.

He hath stood, and He measureth earth, He hath seen, and He shaketh off nations, And scatter themselves do mountains of antiquity, Bowed have the hills of old, The ways of old His.

7 W axaan arkay teendhooyinkii reer Kushan oo dhib ku dhex jira. Daahyadii dalka reer Midyaanna way gariireen.

Under sorrow I have seen tents of Cushan, Tremble do curtains of the land of Midian.

8 R abbigu ma wuxuu u cadhooday webiyaasha? Ma waxaad u xanaaqday webiyaasha Mase waxaad u cadhootay badda? Ma saas aawadeed baad u soo fuushay fardahaaga, Iyo gaadhifardoodyadaadii badbaadinta?

Against rivers hath Jehovah been wroth? Against rivers Thine anger? Against the sea Thy wrath? For Thou dost ride on Thy horses -- Thy chariots of salvation?

9 Q aansadaadii daaha baad ka qaadday, Dhaartii aad qabiilooyinka ugu dhaaratayna waxay ahayd eray run ah. (Selaah) Dhulka waxaad ka dillaacisay webiyaal.

Utterly naked Thou dost make Thy bow, Sworn are the tribes -- saying, `Pause!' rivers Thou dost cleave the earth.

10 B uurihii way ku arkeen, oo way cabsadeen. Biyaha xoogga lahuna way iska gudbeen, Moolkii codkiisuu ku hadlay, Gacmihiisiina kor buu u taagay.

Seen thee -- pained are mountains, An inundation of waters hath passed over, Given forth hath the deep its voice, High its hands it hath lifted up.

11 Q orraxdii iyo dayaxiiba waxay istaageen rugtoodii, Markay fallaadhahaaga nuuraya lalayeen, Iyo markuu warankaaga dhalaalaya birbirqay.

Sun -- moon -- hath stood -- a habitation, At the light thine arrows go on, At the brightness, the glittering of thy spear.

12 D alkii xanaaq baad kula dhex socotay, Quruumihiina cadho baad ku tuntay.

In indignation Thou dost tread earth, In anger Thou dost thresh nations.

13 W aad u soo baxday inaad dadkaaga badbaadiso daraaddeed, Iyo inaad badbaadiso kaaga subkan. Reerka sharrowga madaxiisa waad dhaawacday. Aasaaskiina waad soo bandhigtay. (Selaah)

Thou hast gone forth for the salvation of Thy people, For salvation with Thine anointed, Thou hast smitten the head of the house of the wicked, Laying bare the foundation unto the neck. Pause!

14 M adaxii dagaalyahanyadiisa waxaad ku mudday ulihiisii, Waxay u yimaadeen sidii dabayl cirwareen ah inay i kala firdhiyaan daraaddeed. Rayrayntoodu waxay ahayd inay masaakiinta qarsoodi u dhammeeyaan.

Thou hast pierced with his staves the head of his leaders, They are tempestuous to scatter me, Their exultation as to consume the poor in secret.

15 F ardahaagii waad kula tumatay baddii, Taasoo ahayd biyaha aad u badan oo iskor taallaysan.

Thou hast proceeded through the sea with Thy horses -- the clay of many waters.

16 A nigu waan maqlay, kolkaasaan caloosha ka naxay, Oo codkii aawadiis ayaa bushimahaygu la qadhqadheen, Lafahaygiina way qudhmeen, oo meeshaydaan ku gariiray, Inaan iska nasto intaan sugayo maalinta dhibka Oo ay ciidammadu ku soo kici doonaan dadka.

I have heard, and my belly trembleth, At the noise have my lips quivered, Rottenness doth come into my bones, And in my place I do tremble, That I rest for a day of distress, At the coming up of the people, he overcometh it.

17 W aayo, in kastoo berduhu uusan ubxin, Ama aan midho ku oollin geedaha canabka ah, Oo hawsha saytuunka lagu khasaaro, Ama aan beeraha quud ka bixin, Oo adhigu xerada ka baabbo'o, Oo golahana aan xoolo lagu arag,

Though the fig-tree doth not flourish, And there is no produce among vines, Failed hath the work of the olive, And fields have not yielded food, Cut off from the fold hath been the flock, And there is no herd in the stalls.

18 H addana Rabbiga waan ku rayrayn doonaa, Oo Ilaaha badbaadadayda ah waan ku farxi doonaa.

Yet I, in Jehovah I exult, I do joy in the God of my salvation.

19 R abbiga Sayidka ah ayaa xoog ii ah, Cagahaygana wuxuu ka dhigaa sida cagaha deerada, Oo wuxuu igu socodsiin doonaa meelahayga sarsare. Tan waxaa lagu tiriyey madaxdii muusikaystayaasha, oo waxaa lagu qaadaa alaabtayda xadhkaha leh.

Jehovah the Lord my strength, And He doth make my feet like hinds, And on my high-places causeth me to tread. To the overseer with my stringed instruments!
