Habakkuk 1 - Listen Online

¹ Ọ̀rọ-ìmọ ti Habakuku wolii rí.

¹ The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.

² Oluwa, emi o ti ke pẹ to, ti iwọ kì yio fi gbọ́! ti emi o kigbe si ọ, niti ìwa-ipa, ti iwọ kì yio si gbalà!

² O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!

³ Ẽṣe ti o mu mi ri aiṣedede, ti o si jẹ ki nma wò ìwa-ìka? nitori ikógun ati ìwa-ipá wà niwaju mi: awọn ti si nrú ijà ati ãwọ̀ soke mbẹ.

³ Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.

⁴ Nitorina li ofin ṣe di ẹ̀rọ, ti idajọ kò si jade lọ li ẹtọ́; nitoriti ẹni buburu yí olododo ka; nitorina ni idajọ ẹbi ṣe njade.

⁴ Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.

⁵ Ẹ wò inu awọn keferi, ki ẹ si wò o, ki hà ki o si ṣe nyin gidigidi: nitoriti emi o ṣe iṣẹ kan li ọjọ nyin, ti ẹ kì yio si gbagbọ́, bi a tilẹ sọ fun nyin.

⁵ Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.

⁶ Nitoripe, wò o, emi gbe awọn ara Kaldea dide, orilẹ-ède ti o korò, ti o si yára, ti yio rìn ibú ilẹ na ja, lati ni ibùgbe wọnni, ti kì iṣe ti wọn.

⁶ For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs.

⁷ Nwọn ni ẹ̀ru, nwọn si fò ni laiyà: idajọ wọn, ati ọlanla wọn, yio ma ti inu wọn jade.

⁷ They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.

⁸ Ẹṣin wọn pẹlu yara jù ẹkùn lọ, nwọn si muná jù ikõkò aṣãlẹ lọ: ẹlẹṣin wọn yio si tàn ara wọn ka, ẹlẹṣin wọn yio si ti ọ̀na jijìn rére wá; nwọn o si fò bi idì ti nyára lati jẹun.

⁸ Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.

⁹ Gbogbo wọn o si wá fun ìwa-ipá; iwò oju wọn o si wà siwaju, nwọn o si kó igbèkun jọ bi yanrìn.

⁹ They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.

¹⁰ Nwọn o si ma fi awọn ọba ṣẹsín, awọn ọmọ alade yio si di ẹni-ẹ̀gan fun wọn: gbogbo ibi agbara ni nwọn o si fi rẹrin; nitoripe nwọn o ko erupẹ̀ jọ, nwọn o si gbà a.

¹⁰ And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.

¹¹ Nigbana ni inu rẹ̀ yio yipadà, yio si rekọja, yio si ṣẹ̀, ni kikà agbara rẹ̀ yi si iṣẹ òriṣa rẹ̀.

¹¹ Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.

¹² Lati aiyeraiye ki iwọ ti wà? Oluwa Ọlọrun mi, Ẹni Mimọ́ mi? awa kì yio kú. Oluwa, iwọ ti yàn wọn fun idajọ; Ọlọrun alagbara, iwọ ti fi ẹsẹ̀ wọn mulẹ fun ibawi.

¹² Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.

¹³ Oju rẹ mọ́ jù ẹniti iwò ibi lọ, iwọ kò si lè wò ìwa-ìka: nitori kini iwọ ha ṣe nwò awọn ti nhùwa arekerekè, ti o si pa ẹnu rẹ mọ, nigbati ẹni-buburu jẹ ẹniti iṣe olododo jù u run?

¹³ Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?

¹⁴ Ti iwọ si nṣe enia bi ẹja okun, bi ohun ti nrakò, ti kò ni alakoso lori wọn?

¹⁴ And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?

¹⁵ Iwọ ni àwọn lati fi gbé gbogbo wọn, nwọn nfi àwọn mu wọn, nwọn si nfi awò wọn kó wọn: nitorina ni nwọn ṣe nyọ̀, ti inu wọn si ndùn.

¹⁵ They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.

¹⁶ Nitorina, nwọn nrubọ si àwọn wọn, nwọn si nsùn turari fun awò wọn; nitori nipa wọn ni ipin wọn ṣe li ọrá, ti onjẹ wọn si fi di pupọ̀.

¹⁶ Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.

¹⁷ Nitorina, nwọn o ha ma dà àwọn wọn, nwọn kì yio ha dẹkun lati ma fọ́ orilẹ-ède gbogbo?

¹⁷ Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
