1Munyengetero womuporofita Habhakuki, unoimbwa neShigionoti.
1A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.
2Aiwa, Jehovha, ndakanzwa mashoko enyu, ndikatya; Aiwa, Jehovha,mutsai basa renyu pakati pamakore; Rizivisei pakati pamakore; Pakutsamwa kwenyu rangarirai nyasha.
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.
3Mwari anouya achibva Temani, Naiye Mutsvene achibva pagomo reParani. Sera. Umambo hwake hunofukidza denga rose, Nyika izere nokurumbidzwa kwake.
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.
4Kupenya kuripo kwakafanana nechiedza; kwezuva kunobuda paruoko rwake, ndipo paiva nokuvigwa kwesimba rake.
4And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.
5Hosha yakaipa inomutungamirira, Mazimbe omoto anobuda patsoka dzake.
5Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.
6Anomira achiyera nyika; Anotarira, ndokuparadza marudzi avanhu; Makomo asingaperi anopararira; Zvikomo zvisingaperi zvinokotama; Nzira dzake ndedzekare-kare.
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.
7Ndinoona matende eKushani ari panhamo; Micheka yamatende enyika yeMidhiani anodedera.
7I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
8Ko Jehovha akatsamwira nzizi here? Hasha dzenyu dzakamukira nzizi here? Kutsamwa kwenyu kwakamukira gungwa here, Zvamunotasva mabhiza enyu, Muchifamba nengoro dzenyu dzoruponeso?
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?
9Uta bwenyu hwakafukurwa kwazvo; Shamhu dzakapikirwa neshoko renyu. Makaparura nyika nenzizi.
9Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.
10Makomo akakuonai akatya, Kudira kwemvura kwakapfuura; Pakadzika pakabudisa izwi rapo, Pakasimudzira maoko apo kumusoro.
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.
11Zuva nomwedzi zvakamira paugaro hwazvo, Zvichiona chiedza chemiseve yenyu ichipfuura, Zvichiona kupenya kwepfumo renyu rinobwinya.
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.
12Makatsika nyika makatsamwa, Makapura ndudzi mune hasha.
12Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.
13Makabuda kuzoponesa vanhu venyu, Kuzoponesa muzodziwa wenyu; Makakuvadza musoro weimba yowakaipa, Muchifukura nheyo kusvikira kumutsipa wayo.
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.
14Makabvovora misoro yavarwi vake namapfumo ake; Vakauya sechamupupuri kundiparadza; Kufara kwavo kwakaita sokwavanopedza varombo pakavanda.
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.
15Makatsika gungwa namabhiza enyu, Iwo murwi wemvura zhinji.
15Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, through the heap of great waters.
16Ndakanzwa, muviri wangu ukadedera, Miromo yangu yakadedera ndichinzwa izwi; Kuora kwakapinda mumafupa angu, ndikadedera pandakanga ndiri, nekuti ndinofanira kumirira zuva renjodzi ndinyerere, Kana iye, anozorwa navanhu, achivawira.
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.
17nekuti kunyange muonde ukasatunga maruva, Nemizambiringa ikashaiwa zvibereko, Kunyange kubereka komuorivhi kukakona, Neminda ikasabereka zvokudya; Kunyange makwai akapera muchirugu, Nemombe dzikashaikwa mumatanga,
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:
18Kunyange zvakadaro ndichafara kwazvo muna Jehovha, Ndichava nomufaro muna Mwari woruponeso rwangu.
18Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
19Jehovha Ishe isimba rangu, Anoita tsoka dzangu dzive setsoka dzehadzi yenondo, Anondifambisa pamatunhu angu akakwirira. Kumutungamiriri wokuimba, nemitengeramwa yangu.
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.
