1 Oracolo che ebbe in visione il profeta Abacuc.
I. DIALOGO FRA IL PROFETA E IL SUO DIO
Primo lamento del profeta: la disfatta della giustizia
2 Fino a quando, Signore, implorerò
e non ascolti,
a te alzerò il grido: «Violenza!»
e non soccorri?
3 Perché mi fai vedere l'iniquità
e resti spettatore dell'oppressione?
Ho davanti rapina e violenza
e ci sono liti e si muovono contese.
4 Non ha più forza la legge,
nè mai si afferma il diritto.
L'empio infatti raggira il giusto
e il giudizio ne esce stravolto.
Primo oracolo. I Caldei flagello di Dio
5 Guardate fra i popoli e osservate,
inorridite e ammutolite:
c'è chi compirà ai vostri giorni una cosa
che a raccontarla non sarebbe creduta.
6 Ecco, io faccio sorgere i Caldei,
popolo feroce e impetuoso,
che percorre ampie regioni
per occupare sedi non sue.
7 Egli è feroce e terribile,
da lui esce
il suo diritto e la sua grandezza.
8 Più veloci dei leopardi sono i suoi cavalli,
più agili dei lupi della sera.
Balzano i suoi destrieri, venuti da lontano,
volano come aquila che piomba per divorare.
9 Tutti avanzano per la rapina.
La loro faccia è infuocata come il vento d'oriente,
ammassano i prigionieri come la sabbia.
10 Egli dei re si fa beffe,
e dei capi si ride;
si fa gioco di ogni fortezza,
assale una città e la conquista.
11 Poi muta corso il vento: passa e paga il fio.
Questa la potenza del mio Dio!
Secondo lamento del profeta: le esazioni dell'oppressore
12 Non sei tu fin da principio, Signore,
il mio Dio, il mio Santo?
Noi non moriremo, Signore.
Tu lo hai scelto per far giustizia,
l'hai reso forte, o Roccia, per castigare.
13 Tu dagli occhi così puri
che non puoi vedere il male
e non puoi guardare l'iniquità,
perchè, vedendo i malvagi, taci
mentre l'empio ingoia il giusto?
14 Tu tratti gli uomini come pesci del mare,
come un verme che non ha padrone.
15 Egli li prende tutti all'amo,
li tira su con il giacchio,
li raccoglie nella rete,
e contento ne gode.
16 Perciò offre sacrifici alla sua rete
e brucia incenso al suo giacchio,
perchè fanno grassa la sua parte
e succulente le sue vivande.
17 Continuerà dunque a vuotare il giacchio
e a massacrare le genti senza pietà?

1 以下是哈巴谷先知得到的啟示。
哈巴谷的抱怨
2 耶和華啊，
我要向你呼救到何時，
你才垂聽呢？
暴虐橫行，我向你呼求，
你卻不拯救。
3 你為何讓我目睹罪惡？
你為何容忍邪惡？
我眼前盡是毀滅和暴力，
到處是紛爭和衝突。
4 因此律法失效，
正義不彰，
惡人包圍義人，
正義被扭曲。
耶和華的答覆
5 耶和華說：「你們環顧列國，
仔細察看，
必驚奇不已，
因為我要在你們的時代行一件事，
即使你們聽說了也不會相信。
6 我要使兇殘、暴虐的迦勒底人興起。
他們要席捲天下，
強佔別人的家園。
7 他們任意妄為，
令人膽戰心驚。
8 「他們的馬比豹子還快，
比夜狼還猛。
他們的騎兵從遠方飛馳而來，
如鷹撲食。
9 他們殘暴成性，
像狂風一樣撲來，
抓獲的俘虜多如塵沙。
10 他們嘲笑君王，譏諷首領，
對一切堅城嗤之以鼻，
修築高臺將其攻取。
11 他們如狂風橫掃而過，
這些有罪的人把自己的力量奉為神明。」
哈巴谷再次抱怨
12 耶和華，
我的上帝，我的聖者啊，
你從亙古就存在，
你永不消逝[a]。
耶和華啊，你派迦勒底人來審判；
磐石啊，你立他們作施罰者。
13 你的眼目極為清潔，
見不得邪惡，
也不能容忍罪惡。
但你為何容忍奸惡之人呢？
惡人吞滅比他們公義的人，
你為何默然不語呢？
14 你為何使人像海裡的魚，
像沒有首領的爬蟲呢？
15 迦勒底人用鉤子鉤住他們，
用漁網網住他們，
用拖網把他們聚在一起，
並因此而歡喜快樂。
16 迦勒底人向漁網獻祭，
向漁網燒香，
因為他們靠漁網而富裕，
食物充足。
17 難道他們要無休止地撒網，
無情地毀滅列國嗎？

Habakkuk 1
New International Version
Habakkuk 1
New International Version
1 The prophecy(A) that Habakkuk the prophet received.
Habakkuk’s Complaint
2 How long,(B) Lord, must I call for help,
but you do not listen?(C)
Or cry out to you, “Violence!”
but you do not save?(D)
3 Why do you make me look at injustice?
Why do you tolerate(E) wrongdoing?(F)
Destruction and violence(G) are before me;
there is strife,(H) and conflict abounds.
4 Therefore the law(I) is paralyzed,
and justice never prevails.
The wicked hem in the righteous,
so that justice(J) is perverted.(K)
The Lord’s Answer
5 “Look at the nations and watch—
and be utterly amazed.(L)
For I am going to do something in your days
that you would not believe,
even if you were told.(M)
6 I am raising up the Babylonians,[a](N)
that ruthless and impetuous people,
who sweep across the whole earth(O)
to seize dwellings not their own.(P)
7 They are a feared and dreaded people;(Q)
they are a law to themselves
and promote their own honor.
8 Their horses are swifter(R) than leopards,
fiercer than wolves(S) at dusk.
Their cavalry gallops headlong;
their horsemen come from afar.
They fly like an eagle swooping to devour;
9 they all come intent on violence.
Their hordes[b] advance like a desert wind
and gather prisoners(T) like sand.
10 They mock kings
and scoff at rulers.(U)
They laugh at all fortified cities;
by building earthen ramps(V) they capture them.
11 Then they sweep past like the wind(W) and go on—
guilty people, whose own strength is their god.”(X)
Habakkuk’s Second Complaint
12 Lord, are you not from everlasting?(Y)
My God, my Holy One,(Z) you[c] will never die.(AA)
You, Lord, have appointed(AB) them to execute judgment;
you, my Rock,(AC) have ordained them to punish.
13 Your eyes are too pure(AD) to look on evil;
you cannot tolerate wrongdoing.(AE)
Why then do you tolerate(AF) the treacherous?(AG)
Why are you silent while the wicked
swallow up those more righteous than themselves?(AH)
14 You have made people like the fish in the sea,
like the sea creatures that have no ruler.
15 The wicked(AI) foe pulls all of them up with hooks,(AJ)
he catches them in his net,(AK)
he gathers them up in his dragnet;
and so he rejoices and is glad.
16 Therefore he sacrifices to his net
and burns incense(AL) to his dragnet,
for by his net he lives in luxury
and enjoys the choicest food.
17 Is he to keep on emptying his net,
destroying nations without mercy?(AM)

New King James Version
Habakkuk 1
New King James Version
The Prophet Questions God’s Judgments
1 The [a]burden which the prophet Habakkuk saw.
The Prophet’s Question
2 O Lord, how long shall I cry,
(A)And You will not hear?
Even cry out to You, (B)“Violence!”
And You will (C)not save.
3 Why do You show me iniquity,
And cause me to see [b]trouble?
For plundering and violence are before me;
There is strife, and contention arises.
4 Therefore the law is powerless,
And justice never goes forth.
For the (D)wicked surround the righteous;
Therefore perverse judgment proceeds.
The Lord’s Reply
5 “Look(E) 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 For indeed I am (F)raising up the Chaldeans,
A bitter and hasty (G)nation
Which marches through the breadth of the earth,
To possess dwelling places that are not theirs.
7 They are terrible and dreadful;
Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.
8 Their horses also are (H)swifter than leopards,
And more fierce than evening wolves.
Their [c]chargers [d]charge ahead;
Their cavalry comes from afar;
They fly as the (I)eagle that hastens to eat.
9 “They all come for violence;
Their faces are set like the east wind.
They gather captives like sand.
10 They scoff at kings,
And princes are scorned by them.
They deride every stronghold,
For they heap up earthen mounds and seize it.
11 Then his [e]mind changes, and he transgresses;
He commits offense,
(J)Ascribing this power to his god.”
The Prophet’s Second Question
12 Are You not (K)from everlasting,
O Lord my God, my Holy One?
We shall not die.
O Lord, (L)You have appointed them for judgment;
O Rock, You have marked them for (M)correction.
13 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 Why do You make men like fish of the sea,
Like creeping things that have no ruler over them?
15 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 Therefore (N)they sacrifice to their net,
And burn incense to their dragnet;
Because by them their share is [f]sumptuous
And their food plentiful.
17 Shall they therefore empty their net,
And continue to slay nations without pity?
