先知的第一个疑问

¹先知哈巴谷所得的默示。This is the burden that Habakkuk the prophet received in a vision:

²他说：耶和华啊！我呼求你，你不应允，要到几时呢？我因强暴哀求你，你还不拯救。How long, O LORD, must I call for help but You do not hear, or cry out to You, “Violence!” but You do not save?

³你为何使我看见罪孽？你为何看着奸恶而不理呢？毁灭和强暴在我面前，又起了争端和相斗的事。Why do You make me see iniquity? Why do You tolerate wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are before me. Strife is ongoing, and conflict abounds.

⁴因此律法放松，公理也不显明；恶人围困义人，所以公理显然颠倒。Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted.

神要兴起迦勒底人

⁵耶和华说：你们要向列国中观看，大大惊奇；因为在你们的时候，我行一件事，虽有人告诉你们，你们总是不信。“Look at the nations and observe—be utterly astounded! For I am doing a work in your days that you would never believe even if someone told you.

⁶我必兴起迦勒底人，就是那残忍暴躁之民，通行遍地，占据那不属自己的住处。For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans—that ruthless and impetuous nation which marches through the breadth of the earth to seize dwellings not their own.

⁷他威武可畏，判断和势力都任意发出。They are dreaded and feared; from themselves they derive justice and sovereignty.

⁸他的马比豹更快，比晚上的豺狼更猛。马兵踊跃争先，都从远方而来；他们飞跑如鹰抓食，Their horses are swifter than leopards, fiercer than wolves of the night. Their horsemen charge ahead, and their cavalry comes from afar. They fly like a vulture, swooping down to devour.

⁹都为行强暴而来，定住脸面向前，将掳掠的人聚集，多如尘沙。All of them come bent on violence; their hordes advance like the east wind; they gather prisoners like sand.

¹⁰他们讥诮君王，笑话首领，嗤笑一切保障，筑垒攻取。They scoff at kings and make rulers an object of scorn. They laugh at every fortress and build up siege ramps to seize it.

¹¹他以自己的势力为神，像风猛然扫过，显为有罪。Then they sweep by like the wind and pass through. They are guilty; their own strength is their god.”

先知的第二个疑问

¹²耶和华—我的　神，我的圣者啊，你不是从亘古而有吗？我们必不致死。耶和华啊，你派定他为要刑罚人；磐石啊，你设立他为要惩治人。Are You not from everlasting, O LORD, my God, my Holy One? We will not die. O LORD, You have appointed them to execute judgment; O Rock, You have established them for correction.

¹³你眼目清洁，不看邪僻，不看奸恶；行诡诈的，你为何看着不理呢？恶人吞灭比自己公义的，你为何静默不语呢？Your eyes are too pure to look upon evil, and You cannot tolerate wrongdoing. So why do You tolerate the faithless? Why are You silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves?

¹⁴你为何使人如海中的鱼，又如没有管辖的爬物呢？You have made men like the fish of the sea, like creeping things that have no ruler.

¹⁵他用钩钩住，用网捕获，用拉网聚集他们；因此，他欢喜快乐，The foe pulls all of them up with a hook; he catches them in his dragnet, and gathers them in his fishing net; so he rejoices gladly.

¹⁶就向网献祭，向网烧香，因他由此得肥美的分和富裕的食物。Therefore he sacrifices to his dragnet and burns incense to his fishing net, for by these things his portion is sumptuous and his food is rich.

¹⁷他岂可屡次倒空网罗，将列国的人时常杀戮，毫不顾惜呢？Will he, therefore, empty his net and continue to slay nations without mercy?

站在守望所等候

¹我要站在守望所，立在望楼上观看，看耶和华对我说什么话，我可用什么话向他诉冤（向他诉冤：或译回答所疑问的）。I will stand at my guard post and station myself on the ramparts. I will watch to see what He will say to me, and how I should answer when corrected.

将默示明明地写在版上

²他对我说：将这默示明明地写在版上，使读的人容易读（或译：随跑随读）。Then the LORD answered me: “Write down this vision and clearly inscribe it on tablets, so that a herald may run with it.

³因为这默示有一定的日期，快要应验，并不虚谎。虽然迟延，还要等候；因为必然临到，不再迟延。For the vision awaits an appointed time; it testifies of the end and does not lie. Though it lingers, wait for it, since it will surely come and will not delay.

惟义人因信得生

⁴迦勒底人自高自大，心不正直；惟义人因信得生。Look at the proud one; his soul is not upright—but the righteous will live by faith—

⁵迦勒底人因酒诡诈，狂傲，不住在家中，扩充心欲，好像阴间。他如死不能知足，聚集万国，堆积万民都归自己。and wealth indeed betrays him. He is an arrogant man never at rest. He enlarges his appetite like Sheol, and like Death, he is never satisfied. He gathers all the nations to himself and collects all the peoples as his own.

祸哉，增添不属自己的

⁶这些国的民岂不都要提起诗歌并俗语讥刺他说：祸哉！迦勒底人，你增添不属自己的财物，多多取人的当头，要到几时为止呢？Will not all of these take up a taunt against him, speaking with mockery and derision: ‘Woe to him who amasses what is not his and makes himself rich with many loans! How long will this go on?’

⁷咬伤你的岂不忽然起来，扰害你的岂不兴起，你就作他们的掳物吗？Will not your creditors suddenly arise and those who disturb you awaken? Then you will become their prey.

⁸因你抢夺许多的国，杀人流血，向国内的城并城中一切居民施行强暴，所以各国剩下的民都必抢夺你。Because you have plundered many nations, the remnant of the people will plunder you—because of your bloodshed against man and your violence against the land, the city, and all their dwellers.

祸哉，积蓄不义之财

⁹为本家积蓄不义之财、在高处搭窝、指望免灾的有祸了！Woe to him who builds his house by unjust gain, to place his nest on high and escape the hand of disaster!

¹⁰你图谋剪除多国的民，犯了罪，使你的家蒙羞，自害己命。You have plotted shame for your house by cutting off many peoples and forfeiting your life.

¹¹墙里的石头必呼叫；房内的栋梁必应声。For the stones will cry out from the wall, and the rafters will echo it from the woodwork.

祸哉，以人血建城

¹²以人血建城、以罪孽立邑的有祸了！Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by iniquity!

¹³众民所劳碌得来的被火焚烧，列国由劳乏而得的归于虚空，不都是出于万军之耶和华吗？Is it not indeed from the LORD of Hosts that the labor of the people only feeds the fire, and the nations weary themselves in vain?

¹⁴认识耶和华荣耀的知识要充满遍地，好像水充满洋海一般。For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.

祸哉，使人喝醉

¹⁵给人酒喝、又加上毒物、使他喝醉、好看见他下体的有祸了！Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbors, pouring it from the wineskin until they are drunk, in order to gaze at their nakedness!

¹⁶你满受羞辱，不得荣耀；你也喝吧，显出是未受割礼的！耶和华右手的杯必传到你那里；你的荣耀就变为大大地羞辱。You will be filled with shame instead of glory. You too must drink and expose your uncircumcision! The cup in the LORD’s right hand will come around to you, and utter disgrace will cover your glory.

¹⁷你向黎巴嫩行强暴与残害惊吓野兽的事必遮盖你；因你杀人流血，向国内的城并城中一切居民施行强暴。For your violence against Lebanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of animals will terrify you, because of your bloodshed against men and your violence against the land, the city, and all their dwellers.

祸哉，向哑巴偶像说话

¹⁸雕刻的偶像，人将它刻出来，有什么益处呢？铸造的偶像就是虚谎的师傅。制造者倚靠这哑巴偶像有什么益处呢？What use is an idol, that a craftsman should carve it—or an image, a teacher of lies? For its maker trusts in his own creation; he makes idols that cannot speak.

¹⁹对木偶说：醒起！对哑巴石像说：起来！那人有祸了！这个还能教训人吗？看哪，是包裹金银的，其中毫无气息。Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Awake!’ or to silent stone, ‘Arise!’ Can it give guidance? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, yet there is no breath in it at all.”

²⁰惟耶和华在他的圣殿中；全地的人都当在他面前肃敬静默。But the LORD is in His holy temple; let all the earth be silent before Him.

哈巴谷的祷告

¹先知哈巴谷的祷告，调用流离歌。This is a prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth:

²耶和华啊，我听见你的名声（或译：言语）就惧怕。耶和华啊，求你在这些年间复兴你的作为，在这些年间显明出来；在发怒的时候以怜悯为念。O LORD, I have heard the report of You; I stand in awe, O LORD, of Your deeds. Revive them in these years; make them known in these years. In Your wrath, remember mercy!

神从提幔而来

³神从提幔而来；圣者从巴兰山临到。（细拉）他的荣光遮蔽诸天；颂赞充满大地。God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah His glory covered the heavens, and His praise filled the earth.

⁴他的辉煌如同日光；从他手里射出光线，在其中藏着他的能力。His radiance was like the sunlight; rays flashed from His hand, where His power is hidden.

⁵在他前面有瘟疫流行；在他脚下有热症发出。Plague went before Him, and fever followed in His steps.

⁶他站立，量了大地（或译：使地震动），观看，赶散万民。永久的山崩裂；长存的岭塌陷；他的作为与古时一样。He stood and measured the earth; He looked and startled the nations; the ancient mountains crumbled; the perpetual hills collapsed. His ways are everlasting.

⁷我见古珊的帐棚遭难，米甸的幔子战兢。I saw the tents of Cushan in distress; the curtains of Midian were trembling.

⁸耶和华啊，你乘在马上，坐在得胜的车上，岂是不喜悦江河、向江河发怒气、向洋海发愤恨吗？Were You angry at the rivers, O LORD? Was Your wrath against the streams? Did You rage against the sea when You rode on Your horses, on Your chariots of salvation?

⁹你的弓全然显露，向众支派所起的誓都是可信的。（细拉）你以江河分开大地。You brandished Your bow; You called for many arrows. Selah You split the earth with rivers.

¹⁰山岭见你，无不战惧；大水泛滥过去，深渊发声，汹涌翻腾（原文是向上举手）。The mountains saw You and quaked; torrents of water swept by. The deep roared with its voice and lifted its hands on high.

¹¹因你的箭射出发光，你的枪闪出光耀，日月都在本宫停住。Sun and moon stood still in their places at the flash of Your flying arrows, at the brightness of Your shining spear.

¹²你发忿恨通行大地，发怒气责打列国，如同打粮。You marched across the earth with fury; You threshed the nations in wrath.

¹³你出来要拯救你的百姓，拯救你的受膏者，打破恶人家长的头，露出他的脚（原文是根基），直到颈项。（细拉）You went forth for the salvation of Your people, to save Your anointed. You crushed the head of the house of the wicked and stripped him from head to toe. Selah

¹⁴你用敌人的戈矛刺透他战士的头；他们来如旋风，要将我们分散。他们所喜爱的是暗中吞吃贫民。With his own spear You pierced his head, when his warriors stormed out to scatter us, gloating as though ready to secretly devour the weak.

¹⁵你乘马践踏红海，就是践踏汹涌的大水。You trampled the sea with Your horses, churning the great waters.

¹⁶我听见耶和华的声音，身体战兢，嘴唇发颤，骨中朽烂；我在所立之处战兢。我只可安静等候灾难之日临到，犯境之民上来。I heard and trembled within; my lips quivered at the sound. Decay entered my bones; I trembled where I stood. Yet I must wait patiently for the day of distress to come upon the people who invade us.

然而，我要因耶和华欢欣

¹⁷虽然无花果树不发旺，葡萄树不结果，橄榄树也不效力，田地不出粮食，圈中绝了羊，棚内也没有牛；Though the fig tree does not bud and no fruit is on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though the sheep are cut off from the fold and no cattle are in the stalls,

¹⁸然而，我要因耶和华欢欣，因救我的　神喜乐。yet I will exult in the LORD; I will rejoice in the God of my salvation!

¹⁹主耶和华是我的力量；他使我的脚快如母鹿的蹄，又使我稳行在高处。这歌交与伶长，用丝弦的乐器。GOD the Lord is my strength; He makes my feet like those of a deer; He makes me walk upon the heights! For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments.
