Habakkuk 3

صَلاَةٌ لِحَبَقُّوقَ النَّبِيِّ عَلَى الشَّجَوِيَّةِ:

A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.

يَا رَبُّ، قَدْ سَمِعْتُ خَبَرَكَ فَجَزِعْتُ. يَا رَبُّ، عَمَلَكَ فِي وَسَطِ السِّنِينَ أَحْيِهِ. فِي وَسَطِ السِّنِينَ عَرِّفْ. فِي الْغَضَبِ اذْكُرِ الرَّحْمَةَ.

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.

اَللهُ جَاءَ مِنْ تِيمَانَ، وَالْقُدُّوسُ مِنْ جَبَلِ فَارَانَ. سِلاَهْ. جَلاَلُهُ غَطَّى السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَالأَرْضُ امْتَلأَتْ مِنْ تَسْبِيحِهِ.

God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.

وَكَانَ لَمَعَانٌ كَالنُّورِ. لَهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ شُعَاعٌ، وَهُنَاكَ اسْتِتَارُ قُدْرَتِهِ.

And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.

قُدَّامَهُ ذَهَبَ الْوَبَأُ، وَعِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ خَرَجَتِ الْحُمَّى.

Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.

وَقَفَ وَقَاسَ الأَرْضَ. نَظَرَ فَرَجَفَ الأُمَمُ وَدُكَّتِ الْجِبَالُ الدَّهْرِيَّةُ وَخَسَفَتْ آكَامُ الْقِدَمِ. مَسَالِكُ الأَزَلِ لَهُ.

He 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.

رَأَيْتُ خِيَامَ كُوشَانَ تَحْتَ بَلِيَّةٍ. رَجَفَتْ شُقَقُ أَرْضِ مِدْيَانَ.

I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.

هَلْ عَلَى الأَنْهَارِ حَمِيَ يَا رَبُّ؟ هَلْ عَلَى الأَنْهَارِ غَضَبُكَ؟ أَوْ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ سَخَطُكَ حَتَّى إِنَّكَ رَكِبْتَ خَيْلَكَ، مَرْكَبَاتِكَ مَرْكَبَاتِ الْخَلاَصِ؟

Was 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?

عُرِّيَتْ قَوْسُكَ تَعْرِيَةً. سُبَاعِيَّاتُ سِهَامٍ كَلِمَتُكَ. سِلاَهْ. شَقَّقْتَ الأَرْضَ أَنْهَارًا.

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

أَبْصَرَتْكَ فَفَزِعَتِ الْجِبَالُ. سَيْلُ الْمِيَاهِ طَمَا. أَعْطَتِ اللُّجَّةُ صَوْتَهَا. رَفَعَتْ يَدَيْهَا إِلَى الْعَلاَءِ.

The 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.

اَلشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ وَقَفَا فِي بُرُوجِهِمَا لِنُورِ سِهَامِكَ الطَّائِرَةِ، لِلَمَعَانِ بَرْقِ مَجْدِكَ.

The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.

بِغَضَبٍ خَطَرْتَ فِي الأَرْضِ، بِسَخَطٍ دُسْتَ الأُمَمَ.

Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.

خَرَجْتَ لِخَلاَصِ شَعْبِكَ، لِخَلاَصِ مَسِيحِكَ. سَحَقْتَ رَأْسَ بَيْتِ الشِّرِّيرِ مُعَرِّيًا الأَسَاسَ حَتَّى الْعُنُقِ. سِلاَهْ.

Thou 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.

ثَقَبْتَ بِسِهَامِهِ رَأْسَ قَبَائِلِهِ. عَصَفُوا لِتَشْتِيتِي. ابْتِهَاجُهُمْ كَمَا لأَكْلِ الْمِسْكِينِ فِي الْخُفْيَةِ.

Thou 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.

سَلَكْتَ الْبَحْرَ بِخَيْلِكَ، كُوَمَ الْمِيَاهِ الْكَثِيرَةِ.

Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, through the heap of great waters.

سَمِعْتُ فَارْتَعَدَتْ أَحْشَائِي. مِنَ الصَّوْتِ رَجَفَتْ شَفَتَايَ. دَخَلَ النَّخْرُ فِي عِظَامِي، وَارْتَعَدْتُ فِي مَكَانِي لأَسْتَرِيحَ فِي يَوْمِ الضَِّيقِ، عِنْدَ صُعُودِ الشَّعْبِ الَّذِي يَزْحَمُنَا.

When 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.

فَمَعَ أَنَّهُ لاَ يُزْهِرُ التِّينُ، وَلاَ يَكُونُ حَمْلٌ فِي الْكُرُومِ. يَكْذِبُ عَمَلُ الزَّيْتُونَةِ، وَالْحُقُولُ لاَ تَصْنَعُ طَعَامًا. يَنْقَطِعُ الْغَنَمُ مِنَ الْحَظِيرَةِ، وَلاَ بَقَرَ فِي الْمَذَاوِدِ،

Although 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:

فَإِنِّي أَبْتَهِجُ بِالرَّبِّ وَأَفْرَحُ بِإِلهِ خَلاَصِي.

Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

اَلرَّبُّ السَّيِّدُ قُوَّتِي، وَيَجْعَلُ قَدَمَيَّ كَالأَيَائِلِ، وَيُمَشِّينِي عَلَى مُرْتَفَعَاتِي.

The 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.
