Habakkuk 1
New American Standard Bible
Chaldeans Used to Punish Judah
1 The (A)pronouncement which Habakkuk the prophet saw:
2 (B)How long, Lord, have I called for help,
And You do not hear?
I cry out to You, “Violence!”
Yet You do (C)not save.
3 Why do You make me (D)see disaster,
And make me look at destitution?
Yes, (E)devastation and violence are before me;
(F)Strife exists and contention arises.
4 Therefore the (G)Law [a]is ignored,
And justice [b]is never upheld.
For the wicked (H)surround the righteous;
Therefore justice comes out (I)confused.
5 “(J)Look among the nations! Watch!
Be horrified! (K)Be frightened speechless!
For I am accomplishing (L)a work in your days—
You would not believe it even if [c]you were told!
6 For behold, I am (M)raising up the Chaldeans,
That [d]grim and impetuous people
Who march [e]throughout the earth,
To (N)take possession of dwelling places that are not theirs.
7 They are terrifying and (O)feared;
Their (P)justice and [f]authority [g]originate with themselves.
8 Their (Q)horses are faster than leopards,
And quicker than (R)wolves in the evening.
Their [h]horsemen charge along,
Their [i]horsemen come from afar;
They fly like an (S)eagle [j]swooping down to devour.
9 All of them come for violence.
[k]Their horde of (T)faces moves forward.
They gather captives like sand.
10 They (U)make fun of kings,
And dignitaries are an object of laughter to them.
They (V)laugh at every fortress,
Then (W)heap up dirt and [l]capture it.
11 Then they fly along like the (X)wind and pass on.
But they will be held (Y)guilty,
They whose (Z)strength is their god.”
12 Are You not from (AA)time everlasting,
Lord, my God, my Holy One?
We will not die.
You, Lord, have (AB)appointed them to deliver judgment;
And You, O (AC)Rock, have destined them to punish.
13 Your eyes are too (AD)pure to look at evil,
And You cannot look at harm favorably.
Why do You (AE)look favorably
At those who deal (AF)treacherously?
Why are You (AG)silent when the wicked (AH)swallow up
Those more righteous than they?
14 Why have You made people like the fish of the sea,
Like crawling things that have no ruler over them?
15 The Chaldeans (AI)bring all of them up with a hook,
(AJ)Drag them away with their net,
And gather them together in their fishing net.
Therefore they rejoice and are joyful.
16 Therefore they offer a sacrifice to their net
And [m]burn incense to their fishing net,
Because through (AK)these things their [n]catch is [o]large,
And their food is [p]plentiful.
17 Will they therefore empty their (AL)net,
And continually (AM)slay nations without sparing?

1 Esta é a mensagem que Deus, por meio de uma visão, deu a Habacuque.
A queixa de Habacuque
2 Ó Senhor Deus, até quando clamarei pedindo ajuda,
e tu não me atenderás?
Até quando gritarei: “Violência!”,
e tu não nos salvarás?
3 Por que me fazes ver tanta maldade?
Por que toleras a injustiça?
Estou cercado de destruição e violência;
há brigas e lutas por toda parte.
4 Por isso, ninguém obedece à lei,
e a justiça nunca vence.
Os maus levam vantagem sobre os bons,
e a justiça é torcida.
A resposta de Deus
5 O Senhor diz ao seu povo:
“Olhem as nações em volta de vocês
e fiquem admirados e assustados.
Pois o que vou fazer agora
é uma coisa em que vocês não acreditariam,
mesmo que alguém contasse.
6 Estou atiçando os babilônios,
aquele povo cruel e violento,
sempre pronto a marchar pelo mundo inteiro,
a fim de conquistar as terras dos outros.
7 “Eles espalham o medo e o terror
e fazem valer as suas próprias ordens e leis.
8 Os seus cavalos são mais rápidos do que os leopardos,
são mais ferozes do que os lobos do deserto.
Os seus cavaleiros avançam montados;
eles vêm correndo de longe,
rápidos como a águia
quando se joga sobre o animal
que ela está caçando.
9 Os soldados avançam,
ansiosos para conquistar;
conforme avançam, vão espalhando o terror.
Os seus prisioneiros são muitos;
são mais numerosos do que os grãos de areia da praia.
10 Os soldados babilônios zombam dos reis
e caçoam dos governadores.
Eles riem das fortalezas;
levantam uma rampa de ataque e as conquistam.
11 Depois, vão em frente, como o vento que passa;
eles não adoram outro deus senão a sua própria força.”
Habacuque se queixa de novo
12 Tu sempre exististe, ó Senhor.
Ó meu Santo Deus, tu és imortal.
Tu és o nosso protetor.
Ó Senhor, tu escolheste os babilônios
e lhes deste forças para nos castigar.
13 Mas como podes tolerar esses traidores, essa gente má?
Os teus olhos são puros demais para olhar o mal;
tu não suportas ver as pessoas cometendo maldades.
Como é, então, que ficas calado
quando esses malvados matam pessoas
que são melhores do que eles?
14 Por que tratas os seres humanos como se fossem peixes,
como se fossem animais que não têm chefe?
15 Pois os babilônios pegam outros povos
como os pescadores pegam peixes.
Com os seus anzóis e redes pegam os povos
e os arrastam para terra.
Aí se alegram e ficam contentes.
16 Oferecem sacrifícios às redes
e apresentam ofertas aos anzóis,
pois é por causa deles que os pescadores ficam ricos
e têm muito que comer.
17 Será que os babilônios nunca deixarão de lutar
e, sem dó nem piedade, continuarão a matar os povos?

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)
