哈1:1 哈巴谷先知所得的默示。
哈1:1 The word which Habakkuk the prophet saw.
哈1:2 耶和华啊！我恳求，你不垂听，要到几时呢？我向你呼叫“有狂暴的事”，你却不拯救。
哈1:2 How long, O Lord, will your ears be shut to my voice? I make an outcry to you about violent behaviour, but you do not send salvation.
哈1:3 你为什么使我看见恶行？有奸恶的事，你为什么见而不理？毁灭和强暴在我面前，纷争和相斗常常发生。
哈1:3 Why do you make me see evil-doing, and why are my eyes fixed on wrong? for wasting and violent acts are before me: and there is fighting and bitter argument.
哈1:4 因此律法不能生效（“律法不能生效”原文作“律法松懈”），公理无法彰显。因为恶人把义人包围，所以公理颠倒。
哈1:4 For this reason the law is feeble and decisions are not effected: for the upright man is circled round by evil-doers; because of which right is twisted.
哈1:5 你们当看列国，要定睛观看，就会大大惊奇，因为在你们的日子，我要作一件事，即使有人说了出来，你们也不会相信。
哈1:5 See among the nations, and take note, and be full of wonder: for in your days I am doing a work in which you will have no belief, even if news of it is given to you.
哈1:6 就是要兴起迦勒底人，那残忍凶暴的民；他们遍行全地，占领别人的家园。
哈1:6 For see, I am sending the Chaldaeans, that bitter and quick-moving nation; who go through the wide spaces of the earth to get for themselves living-places which are not theirs.
哈1:7 他们恐怖可怕，自以为义，趾高气扬。
哈1:7 They are greatly to be feared: their right comes from themselves.
哈1:8 他们的马比豹更快，比晚上的豺狼更猛。他们的骑兵奔驰，自远而来；他们如鹰飞翔，迅速吞噬。
哈1:8 And their horses are quicker than leopards and their horsemen more cruel than evening wolves; they come from far away, like an eagle in flight rushing on its food.
哈1:9 他们定着脸面向前，齐来行暴，掳获战俘多如尘沙。
哈1:9 They are coming all of them with force; the direction of their faces is forward, the number of their prisoners is like the sands of the sea.
哈1:10 他们戏弄君王，以掌权的为笑柄；他们嗤笑一切城堡，筑垒攻取；
哈1:10 He makes little of kings, rulers are a sport to him; all the strong places are to be laughed at; for he makes earthworks and takes them.
哈1:11 然后扫荡如风吹过。他们是有罪的，因他们以自己的势力为神。
哈1:11 Then his purpose will be changed, over-stepping the limit; he will make his strength his god.
哈1:12 耶和华我的 神，我的圣者啊！你不是自古就有的吗？我们不会死的。耶和华啊！你派他们行审判。盘石啊！你立他们施惩罚。
哈1:12 Are you not eternal, O Lord my God, my Holy One? for you there is no death. O Lord, he has been ordered by you for our punishment; and by you, O Rock, he has been marked out to put us right.
哈1:13 你的眼目纯洁，不看邪恶，不能坐视奸恶；为什么见行诡诈的人而不理？恶人吞灭比自己公义的人，你为什么缄默呢？
哈1:13 Before your holy eyes sin may not be seen, and you are unable to put up with wrong; why, then, are your eyes on the false? why do you say nothing when the evil-doer puts an end to one who is more upright than himself?
哈1:14 你竟使人像海里的鱼，像无人管辖的爬虫类。
哈1:14 He has made men like the fishes of the sea, like the worms which have no ruler over them.
哈1:15 迦勒底人既用钩把他们钓起来，用网拖走，用鱼网收聚在一处，就欢喜快乐，
哈1:15 He takes them all up with his hook, he takes them in his net, getting them together in his fishing-net: for which cause he is glad and full of joy.
哈1:16 向自己的网献祭，对鱼网烧香，因他们藉此收获丰富，饮食充裕。
哈1:16 For this reason he makes an offering to his net, burning perfume to his fishing-net; because by them he gets much food and his meat is fat.
哈1:17 这样，他们倒空自己的网，毫不留情地继续杀戮列国。
哈1:17 For this cause his net is ever open, and there is no end to his destruction of the nations.
