Habakkuk 1

The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.

Faminaniana ny loza hanjo, izay hitan'i Habakoka mpaminany.

O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!

Jehovah ô, indrisy ny hahelan'ny efa nitarainako, Nefa tsy nohenoinao! Mitaraina aho hoe: Loza! Nefa tsy vonjenao ihany.

Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.

Nahoana no ataonao mahita faharatsiana aho. Ary mijery fahoriana Hianao? Fa fandravana sy loza no eo anatrehako, Ary misy ady, sady miseho ny fifandirana.

Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.

Koa noho izany dia ngoly ny lalàna, Ary tsy mivoaka ny rariny; Fa irohonan'ny ratsy fanahy ny marina, Ka izany no ivoahan'ny fitsarana miangatra .

Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.

Jereo any amin'ny jentilisa, ka diniho, ary gagà dia gagà; Fa manao zavatra amin'ny andronareo Aho, Izay tsy hinoanareo, na dia holazaina aminareo aza.

For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs.

Fa, indro, atsangako ny Kaldeana, Dia ilay firenena masiaka sady mirehidrehitra, Izay mamaky eran'ny tany Hahazoany fonenana izay tsy azy.

They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.

Mahatsiravina sy mahatahotra izy; Avy amin'ny tenany ihany ny fitsarany sy ny fahalehibiazany.

Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.

Faingana noho ny leoparda ny soavaliny Sady masiaka noho ny amboadia hariva; Ny mpitaingin-tsoavaliny mampiriotra, eny, ny mpitaingin-tsoavaliny dia avy lavitra; Miezaka toy ny voromahery maika hihinana izy.

They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.

Hampidi-doza no ihavian'izy rehetra; Ny handroso ihany no atrehiny fatratra, Ka manangona sambotra toy ny fasika izy.

And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.

Izy manakora ny mpanjaka, Ary ihomehezany ny mpanapaka; Ny tanàna mimanda rehetra dia ihomehezany, Ka dia manandratra tovon-tany izy ka mahafata azy.

Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.

Dia mihelina toy ny rivotra izy Ary mandroso ka mahazo heloka. Izany heriny izany no andriamaniny!

Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.

Tsy hatrizay hatrizay va Hianao, Jehovah Andriamanitro, Iray Masiko? Tsy ho faty izahay; Ry Jehovah ô, ho famaizana no nanendrenao ireny, Ry Vatolampy ô, fananarana no nanangananao azy

Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?

Hianao, Izay madio maso ka tsy te-hitsinjo ny ratsy Ary tsy mahajery fahoriana, Nahoana Hianao no mijery izay mamitaka Ary mangina, raha ny ratsy fanahy mandrapaka ny marina noho izy,

And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?

Ary manao ny olona ho toy ny hazandrano any an-dranomasina, Sy ho toy ny biby mandady sy mikisaka, izay tsy mana-mpanapaka?

They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.

Aingainy amin'ny fintana izy rehetra, Samboriny amin'ny haratony Ary sarihany amin'ny harato tarihiny; Ka dia faly sy ravoravo izy.

Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.

Koa izany no amonoany zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an'ny haratony sy andoroany ditin-kazo manitra ho an'ny harato tarihiny; Fa ireo no ahazoany hanina matsiro sy anjara matavy.

Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?

Koa noho izany dia hanaisotra ny ao amin'ny tandrohony va izy Ary hamono firenena mandrakariva ka tsy hiantra?
