ዕንባቆም 1:1-17

1ነቢዩ ዕንባቆም የተቀበለው ንግር፤

የዕንባቆም ማጕረምረም

2እግዚአብሔር ሆይ፤ ለርዳታ እየተጣራሁ፣

አንተ የማትሰማው እስከ መቼ ነው?

“ግፍ በዛ” ብዬ እየጮኽሁ፣

አንተ የማታድነው እስከ መቼ ነው?

3ስለ ምን በደልን እንዳይ አደረግኸኝ?

እንዴትስ ግፍ ሲፈጸም ትታገሣለህ?

ጥፋትና ግፍ በፊቴ አለ፤

ጠብና ግጭት በዝቷል።

4ስለዚህ ሕግ ላልቷል፤

ፍትሕ ድል አይነሣም፤

ፍትሕ ይጣመም ዘንድ፣

ክፉዎች ጻድቃንን ይከብባሉ።

የእግዚአብሔር መልስ

5“ቢነገራችሁም እንኳ፣

የማታምኑትን እናንተን፣

በዘመናችሁ አንድ ነገር ስለማደርግ፣

እነሆ፤ ሕዝቡን እዩ፤ ተመልከቱም፤

እጅግም ተደነቁ።

6የራሳቸው ያልሆኑትን መኖሪያ ስፍራዎች ለመያዝ፣

ምድርን ሁሉ የሚወርሩትን፣

ጨካኝና ፈጣን የሆኑትን፣

ባቢሎናውያንን1፥6 ከለዳውያን ማለት ነው። አስነሣለሁ።

7እነርሱም የሚያስፈሩና የሚያስደነግጡ ናቸው፤

ፍርዳቸውና ክብራቸው፣

ከራሳቸው ይወጣል።

8ፈረሶቻቸው ከነብር ይልቅ ፈጣኖች፣

ከማታም ተኵላ ይልቅ ጨካኞች ናቸው።

ፈረሰኞቻቸው በፍጥነት ይጋልባሉ፤

ከሩቅ ስፍራም ይመጣሉ።

ነጥቆ ለመብላት እንደሚቸኵል አሞራ ይበርራሉ፤

9ሁሉም ለዐመፅ ታጥቀው ይመጣሉ።

ሰራዊታቸው1፥9 የዕብራይስጡ ቃል ትርጕም በትክክል አይታወቅም። እንደ ምድረ በዳ ነፋስ ወደ ፊት ይገሠግሣል፤

ምርኮኞችንም እንደ አሸዋ ይሰበስባል።

10ነገሥታትን ይንቃል፤

በገዦችም ላይ ያፌዛል፤

በምሽግ ሁሉ ላይ ይሥቃል፤

የዐፈር ቍልል ሠርቶም ይይዘዋል።

11ከዚያም በኋላ እንደ ነፋስ ዐልፎ ይሄዳል፤

ጕልበታቸውን አምላካቸው ያደረጉ በደለኞች ናቸው።”

የዕንባቆም ዳግመኛ ማጕረምረም

12እግዚአብሔር ሆይ፤ ከዘላለም ጀምሮ ያለህ አይደለህምን?

የእኔ አምላክ፣ የእኔ ቅዱስ እኛ አንሞትም፤

እግዚአብሔር ሆይ፤ እንዲፈርዱ ሾመሃቸዋል፤

ዐለት ሆይ፤ ይቀጡ ዘንድ ሥልጣን ሰጠሃቸው።

13ዐይኖችህ ክፉውን እንዳያዩ እጅግ ንጹሓን ናቸው፤

አንተ በደልን መታገሥ አትችልም፤

ታዲያ፣ አታላዮችን ለምን ትታገሣለህ?

ክፉው ከራሱ ይልቅ ጻድቅ የሆነውን ሲውጠውስ፣

ለምን ዝም ትላለህ?

14አንተ ሰዎችን በባሕር ውስጥ እንዳለ ዓሣ፣

ገዥ እንደሌላቸውም የባሕር ፍጥረታት አደረግህ።

15ክፉ ጠላት ሁሉንም በመንጠቆ ያወጣቸዋል፤

በመረቡ ይይዛቸዋል፤

በአሽክላው ውስጥ ይሰበስባቸዋል፤

በዚህም ይደሰታል፤ ሐሤትም ያደርጋል።

16በእነርሱ ተዝናንቶ ይኖራልና፤

ምግቡም ሠብቷል።

ስለዚህ ለመረቡ ይሠዋል፤

ለአሽክላውም ያጥናል።

17ታዲያ መረቡን ባለማቋረጥ መጣል፣

ሕዝቦችንስ ያለ ርኅራኄ መግደል አለበትን?

New International Reader’s Version

Habakkuk 1:1-17

1This is a prophecy that Habakkuk the prophet received from the Lord. Here is what Habakkuk said.

Habakkuk Complains to the Lord

2Lord, how long do I have to call out for help?

Why don’t you listen to me?

How long must I keep telling you

that things are terrible?

Why don’t you save us?

3Why do you make me watch while

people treat others so unfairly?

Why do you put up with the wrong things

they are doing?

I have to look at death.

People are harming others.

They are arguing and fighting all the time.

4The law can’t do what it’s supposed to do.

Fairness never comes out on top.

Sinful people surround those

who do what is right.

So people are never treated fairly.

The Lord Replies to Habakkuk

5The Lord replies,

“Look at the nations. Watch them.

Be totally amazed at what you see.

I am going to do something in your days

that you would never believe.

You would not believe it

even if someone told you about it.

6I am going to send the armies of Babylon to attack you.

They are very mean. They move quickly.

They sweep across the whole earth.

They take over homes

that do not belong to them.

7They terrify others.

They do not recognize any laws but their own.

That is how proud they are.

8Their horses are faster than leopards.

They are meaner than wolves at sunset.

Their horsemen charge straight into battle.

They ride in from far away.

They come down like an eagle

diving for its food.

9All of them are ready and willing to destroy others.

Their huge armies advance like a wind out of the desert.

They gather prisoners like sand.

10They mock kings

and make fun of rulers.

They laugh at all the cities

that have high walls around them.

They build dirt ramps against the walls

and capture the cities.

11They sweep past like the wind.

Then they go on their way.

They are guilty.

They worship their own strength.”

Habakkuk Complains to the Lord Again

12Lord, haven’t you existed forever?

You are my holy God.

You will never die.

Lord, you have appointed the Babylonians

to punish your people.

My Rock, you have chosen them to judge us.

13Your eyes are too pure to look at what is evil.

You can’t put up with the wrong things people do.

So why do you put up

with those who can’t be trusted?

The evil Babylonians swallow up

those who are more godly than themselves.

So why are you silent?

14You have made people to be like the fish in the sea.

They are like the sea creatures that don’t have a ruler.

15The evil Babylonians pull all of them up with hooks.

They catch them in their nets.

They gather them up.

So they celebrate.

They are glad.

16They offer sacrifices to their nets.

They burn incense to them.

Their nets allow them to live in great comfort.

They enjoy the finest food.

17Are you going to let them

keep on emptying their nets?

Will they go on destroying nations

without showing them any mercy?
