ハバクク書 3
1 シギヨノテに合せて歌へる預言者ハバククの祈禱
A prayer by Habakkuk the prophet, —in the manner of an Ode.
2 ヱホバよ我なんぢの宣ふ所を聞て懼る ヱホバよこの諸の年の中間に汝の運動を活齑かせたまへ 此諸の年の間に之を顯現したまへ 怒る時にも憐憫を忘れ給はざれ
O Yahweh, I have heard tidings of thee, I am afraid. O Yahweh! Thy work—in the midst of the years, O revive it, in the midst of the years, wilt thou make known? In trouble, wilt thou remember, compassion?
3 神テマンより來り聖者パラン山より臨みたまふ (セラ) 其榮光諸天を蔽ひ其讃美世界に徧ねし
GOD, from Teman, cometh in, and, the Holy One, from Mount Paran. (Selah) His splendour, hath covered the heavens, and, his praise, hath filled the earth:
4 その朗耀は日のごとく光線その手より出づ 彼處はその權能の隱るる所なり
And, a brightness, as light, appeareth, Rays, out of his hand, hath he, —and, there, is the hiding of his power.
5 疫病その前に先だち行き熱病その足下より出づ
Before him, marcheth pestilence, —and fever, goeth forth, at his feet:
6 彼立て地を震はせ觀まはして萬國を戰慄しめたまふ 永久の山は崩れ常磐の岡は陷る 彼の行ひたまふ道は永久なり
He hath stood and measured the earth, he hath looked, and caused nations to tremble, and, scattered as dust, are the perpetual mountains, and, sunk, are the age-abiding hills, —Forthgoings age-abiding, are his.
7 我觀るにクシヤンの天幕は艱難に罹りミデアンの地の幃幕は震ふ
Under distress, saw I the tents of Ethiopia, —tremble, do the curtains of the land of Midian.
8 ヱホバよ汝は馬を驅り汝の拯救の車に乗りたまふ 是河にむかひて怒りたまふなるか 河にむかひて汝の忿怒を發したまふなるか 海にむかひて汝の憤恨を洩し給ふなるか
Against the rivers, is Yahweh wroth? Against the rivers, is thine anger? Against the sea, is thine indignation? For thou wilt ride on Thy horses, Thy chariots, [shall be] salvation!
9 汝の弓は全く嚢を出で杖は言をもて言かためらる (セラ) 汝は地を裂て河となし給ふ
To nakedness, is bared thy bow, oaths of chastisement—song! (Selah) With rivers, thou dost cleave open the land.
10 山々汝を見て震ひ洪水溢れわたり淵聲を出してその手を高く擧ぐ
The mountains, have seen thee—they tremble, a downpour of waters, hath passed along, —the roaring deep, hath given forth, his voice, on high—his hand, hath he uplifted.
11 汝の奔る矢の光のため汝の鎗の電光のごとき閃燦のために日月その住處に立とどまる
Sun, moon, have stood still, on high, —like light, thine arrows, speed along, like brightness, is the flash of thy spear.
12 汝は憤ほりて地を行めぐり 怒りて國民を踏つけ給ふ
In wrath, dost thou stride through the land, —in anger, dost thou thresh the nations.
13 汝は汝の民を救んとて出きたり 汝の膏沃げる者を救はんとて臨みたまふ 汝は惡き者の家の頭を碎きその石礎を露はして頸におよぼし給へり (セラ)
Thou hast come forth to the salvation of thy people, to salvation, with thine Anointed One, —Thou hast crushed the Head out of the house of the lawless one, baring the foundation up to the neck, (Selah)
14 汝は彼の鎗をもてその將帥の首を刺とほし給ふ 彼らは我を散さんとて大風のごとくに進みきたる 彼らは貧き者を密に呑ほろぼす事をもてその樂とす
Thou hast pierced, with his own staves, the head of his chiefs, they storm along, to scatter me, —their exultant thought, is, in very deed, to devour the oppressed one, in a secret place!
15 汝は汝の馬をもて海を乗とほり大水の逆卷ところを渉りたまふ
Thou hast driven, into the sea, thy chariot-horses. Foaming are the mighty waters!
16 我聞て膓を斷つ 我唇その聲によりて震ふ 腐朽わが骨に入り我下體わななく 其は我患難の日の來るを待ばなり 其時には即ち此民に攻寄る者ありて之に押逼らん
I heard, and I trembled within me, at the voice, my lips, quivered, decay, entered, my bones, and, in my limbs, I trembled, —though I am to find rest, in the day of distress, when their invader, cometh up against the people.
17 その時には無花果の樹は花咲ず葡萄の樹には果ならず 橄欖の樹の產は空くなり 田圃は食糧を出さず圏には羊絶え小屋には牛なかるべし
Though, the fig-tree, should not blossom, and there be no sprouting in the vines, the yield of the olive, should have deceived, and, the fields, not have brought forth food, —the flock, have been consumed out of the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls,
18 然ながら我はヱホバによりて樂み わが拯救の神によりて喜ばん
Yet, I, in Yahweh, will rejoice, —I will exult in the God of my salvation.
19 主ヱホバは我力にして我足を鹿の如くならしめ 我をして我高き處を歩ましめ給ふ 伶長これを我琴にあはすべし
Yahweh, My Lord, is my strength, therefore hath he made my feet like hinds, and, upon my high places, will he cause me to march along. To the chief musician, on my double harp.
