¹A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.

¹Aßan aßin jun li tij quixbicha li profeta Habacuc:

²O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.

²At nimajcual Dios, nak quicuabi resil li joß qßuial xabânu, quinxucua âcuu. At Kâcuaß Dios, chacßutbesi ta cuißchic chiku anakcuan li cabânu chak junxil. Chacuuxtâna taxak ku usta yô âjoskßil saß kabên.

³God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.

³—Aßan aßin li quicuil saß li visión, chan laj Habacuc. Quicuil nak li Dios yô chak chi châlc saß li naßajej Temán. Li Dios santo xchal saß li tzûl Parán. Lix lokßal nacßutun saß choxa, joß ajcuiß saß chixjunil li ruchichßochß.

⁴And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.

⁴Xchal riqßuin xnimal xlokßal. Nalemtzßun lix saken. Chanchan nak narepoc li câk saß li rukß. Aßan retalil lix nimal xcuanquilal.

⁵Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.

⁵Nak ac châlc re li Kâcuaß quixtakla chak jun li yajel ut nabal queßcam. Ut nak ac xnumeß li Kâcuaß, quichal jun chic li yajel ut nabaleb queßcam xban li tik.

⁶He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.

⁶Quixakli li Kâcuaß ut quirakoc âtin saß xbêneb li cuanqueb saß ruchichßochß. Yal quirileb li tenamit ut nequeßsicsot queßcana. Eb li tzûl li cuanqueb chak chalen saß xticlajic li ruchichßochß quilajeßecßan. Quilajeßtßaneß li najter tzûl. Aban li cßaßru naxbânu li Kâcuaß incßaß najala. Cuan ban chi junelic.

⁷I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.

⁷Quicuil nak queßxcßul li raylal li cuanqueb saß li naßajej Cusán. Ut nequeßsicsot xbaneb xxiu li cuanqueb Madián.

⁸Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of salvation?

⁸At nimajcual Dios, ¿ma yô ta biß âjoskßil saß xbên li nimaß nak xaxakab li haß? ¿Ma yô ta biß âjoskßil saß xbên li palau nak xajach ru? Lâat xabânu aßan re xcolbaleb lâ tenamit nak queßnumeß jun pacßal li haß chirixeb lix cacuây ut saß eb lix carruaje.

⁹Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.

⁹Xacßutbesi lâ cuanquilal chiruheb. Chanchan nak ac cauresinbil lâ tzimaj. Xaye riqßuin juramento nak tâcoleb lâ tenamit ut joßcan xabânu. Quilajeßjacheß li chßochß ut quilajeßel li haß.

¹⁰The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high.

¹⁰Ut quicuil ajcuiß nak xban lâ cuanquilal, li tzûl queßxucuac châcuu ut quilajeßecßan saß xnaßajeb. Quicuan li butß saß ruchichßochß ut cau yô chi ecßânc xyâb li haß nak yô xcutlenquil lix cau ok.

¹¹The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.

¹¹Quicuil nak cuan chak lâ tzimaj ut lâ lâns saß lâ cuukß ut cßajoß nak nalemtzßun. Li po ut li sakße incßaß chic queßecßan saß lix naßajeb nak queßxqßue retal lâ cuanquilal.

¹²Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.

¹²Cßajoß lâ joskßil nak casuti li ruchichßochß ut cayekßiheb saß âcuok li tenamit xban âjoskßil.

¹³Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, even for salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah.

¹³Lâat catchal chixcolbaleb lâ tenamit ut chixcolbaleb li ac sicßbil ruheb âban. Ut casach ru li nacßamoc be saß xyânkeb li incßaß useb xnaßleb. Ut casacheb ru chixjunileb li nequeßtâken re. Chanchan nak najuqßueß jun li cab nak casach chixjunil.

¹⁴Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.

¹⁴Riqßuin ajcuiß lix tzimaj aßan, cacamsi laj cßamol be saß xyânkeb li soldado nak queßchal chi numtâc saß kabên. Chanchan nak nachal li câk-sut-ikß nak queßchal chikasachbal. Ut cßajoß xsahilal saß xchßôleb nak queßchal chi numtâc saß kabên lâo li incßaß naru nakacol kib chiruheb.

¹⁵Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, through the heap of great waters.

¹⁵Quicuil nak yôcat chi numecß saß xbên li palau âcuochbeneb lâ cacuây ut li haß cßajoß nak quitakeß chak lix cuokx.

¹⁶When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.

¹⁶Nak quicuil li cßaßru talajcßulmânk, cßajoß nak quiyotßeß inchßôl. Incßaß chic quiru quinâtinac. Nequeßsicsot li cuok xban inxiu ut mâcßaß chic inmetzßêu quincana. Abanan tincuoybeni li cutan nak tâcßulmânk li raylal aßan. Mâcßaß incßaßux xban nak ninnau nak li Kâcuaß tixsach ruheb li xicß nequeßiloc ke.

¹⁷Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:

¹⁷Lâin sahak saß inchßôl riqßuin li Kâcuaß. Usta incßaß chic tâatzßumak lix tônal li higo ut incßaß chic tâûchînk li uvas, ut usta incßaß chic tâûchînk lix tônal li olivo, ut usta mâcßaßakeb chic li carner saß eb li corral ut mâcßaßakeb chic li cuacax saß eb lix naßaj, tâsahokß saß inchßôl.

¹⁸Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

¹⁸Usta chixjunil li cßaßak re ru aßin mâcßaßak chic, abanan lâin tâsahokß saß inchßôl riqßuin li Kâcuaß laj Colol cue.Li Kâcuaß, li nimajcual Dios, aßan li tâqßuehok xcacuilal inchßôl. Tixqßue chi sêbocß li cuok joß xsêbal li rokeb li quej li kßaxal cau nequeßâlinac. Ut tinixqßue chi cuânc saß jun naßajej bar mâcßaß tincßul.

¹⁹The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.

¹⁹Li Kâcuaß, li nimajcual Dios, aßan li tâqßuehok xcacuilal inchßôl. Tixqßue chi sêbocß li cuok joß xsêbal li rokeb li quej li kßaxal cau nequeßâlinac. Ut tinixqßue chi cuânc saß jun naßajej bar mâcßaß tincßul.
