Habacuc 1
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
1 Profeţia pe care a primit-o profetul Habacuc.
Prima plângere a profetului
2 – Până când, Doamne, voi striga după ajutor
şi Tu nu vei asculta?
Până când voi striga către Tine: „Violenţă!“
şi Tu nu vei izbăvi?
3 De ce mă faci să privesc nedreptatea?
De ce trebuie să mă uit[a] la necaz?
Distrugerea şi violenţa sunt înaintea mea;
peste tot sunt dezbinări şi se stârnesc certuri.
4 De aceea Legea este fără putere
şi dreptatea nu se vede niciodată.
Căci cel rău îl împresoară[b] pe cel drept
şi astfel dreptatea este pervertită.
Răspunsul Domnului
5 – Uitaţi-vă printre neamuri şi priviţi!
Miraţi-vă! Uimiţi-vă!
Căci în zilele voastre am să fac o lucrare
pe care n-aţi crede-o
dacă v-ar povesti-o cineva!
6 Iată, îi voi ridica pe caldeeni[c],
acel popor crud şi năvalnic,
care străbate întinderile pământului
pentru a lua în stăpânire locuinţe care nu sunt ale lui!
7 Este un popor teribil şi înfricoşător;
îşi are propria lege
şi nu recunoaşte nici o altă autoritate![d]
8 Caii lui sunt mai rapizi decât leoparzii
şi mai sprinteni decât lupii în amurg.
Călăreţii lui se avântă,
călăreţii lui vin de departe.
Zboară ca un vultur care se aruncă asupra prăzii;
9 toţi vin pentru violenţă.
Privirile lor sunt aţintite[e] tot înainte
şi adună captivi ca nisipul de mulţi.
10 Îşi bate joc de regi
şi-i ia în derâdere pe conducători.
Râde de orice fortificaţie,
căci îngrămădeşte pământ[f] lângă ea şi o cucereşte.
11 Apoi trece ca vântul şi merge mai departe[g];
el se face astfel vinovat, puterea lui fiindu-i dumnezeul.
A doua plângere a profetului
12 – Oare nu eşti Tu din veşnicie, Doamne?
Dumnezeul meu, Sfântul meu, nu vom muri[h]!
Doamne, Tu l-ai rânduit pentru a face judecată!
Stânca mea, Tu l-ai ridicat ca să pedepsească!
13 Ochii Tăi sunt prea curaţi ca să se uite la rău;
Tu nu poţi să priveşti asuprirea!
De ce te uiţi la cei mişei
şi taci când cel rău
îl înghite pe cel mai drept decât el?
14 L-ai făcut pe om asemenea peştilor mării,
asemenea târâtoarei care nu are stăpân.
15 Duşmanul scoate fiecare peşte cu undiţa,
îl adună cu mreaja lui,
îl strânge în năvodul lui
şi de aceea se bucură şi se veseleşte.
16 De aceea aduce el jertfe mrejei sale
şi arde tămâie năvodului său!
Datorită lor, partea lui este bogată
şi mâncarea lui este din abundenţă!
17 Va continua el oare să-şi golească mreaja
şi să omoare neamuri fără să cruţe nimic?

Habakkuk 1
Evangelical Heritage Version
Habakkuk 1
Evangelical Heritage Version
1 The threatening oracle which the prophet Habakkuk saw.
Habakkuk’s Question
2 How long, Lord, must I cry for help, but you do not listen?
I call out to you, “Violence!” but you do not save!
3 Why do you cause me to see injustice?
Why do you overlook misery?
Devastation and violence confront me.
There is strife, and tensions rise.
4 For this reason the law has become powerless.[a]
Justice is never carried out.
In fact, the wicked overwhelm the righteous
so that justice is perverted.
The Lord Answers
5 Look at the nations and pay attention! Be completely dumbfounded, because I will do something in your lifetime that you will not believe, even though you are warned ahead of time. 6 Watch, I am raising up the Chaldeans,[b] that savage, reckless nation. They will sweep across the whole width of the earth, seizing lands and homes that do not belong to them. 7 They are frightening and terrifying. They invent their own standard of justice and their own values. 8 Their horses are quicker than leopards and fiercer than wolves that prowl at night. Their war horses come galloping. Their war horses come from far away. They fly like vultures[c] swooping down to devour. 9 All of them come to commit violence. Their hordes blow by like the desert wind[d] and sweep up prisoners like sand. 10 They mock kings, and rulers are subjected to scorn. They laugh at every fortified city. They heap up siege ramps and capture cities. 11 But then the wind blows and passes over them,[e] and they will bear their guilt—these men whose own strength is their god.
Habakkuk Replies
12 Are you not from ancient times, O Lord?
My God, my Holy One, you will not die.[f]
Lord, you have made them your instrument of judgment.
You, our Rock, have established them as your instrument of discipline.[g]
13 You whose eyes are too pure to tolerate evil,
you who are not able to condone wrongdoing,
why do you put up with treacherous people?
Why do you keep silent when the wicked swallow up those who are more righteous than they are?
14 You treat people like fish in the sea,
like creeping creatures that have no ruler.
15 The wicked man[h] pulls them all up on a fishhook.
He hauls them in with a net.
He gathers them with his dragnet and is very happy about it.
16 Therefore he offers sacrifices to his nets
and burns incense to his dragnet,
because, through these, his catch is large,
and his food is plentiful.
17 Will he empty one net after another
and continue to destroy nations without sparing any?

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)
