¹Молитва пророка Авакума; за певање.

¹A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.

²Господе, чух реч Твоју, и уплаших се; Господе, дело своје усред година сачувај у животу, усред година објави га, у гневу сети се милости.

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.

³Бог дође од Темана и Светац с горе Фарана; слава Његова покри небеса и земља се напуни хвале Његове.

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.

⁴Светлост Му беше као сунце, зраци излажаху Му из руку, и онде беше сакривена сила Његова.

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

⁵Пред Њим иђаше помор, и живо угљевље иђаше испод ногу Његових.

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

⁶Стаде, и измери земљу, погледа и разметну народе, распадоше се вечне горе, слегоше се хумови вечни; путеви су Му вечни.

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.

⁷Видех шаторе етиопске у муци, устрепташе завеси земљи мадијанској.

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

⁸Еда ли се на реке разгневи Господ? Еда ли се на реке распали гнев Твој? На море јарост Твоја, кад си појездио на коњима својим и на колима својим за спасење?

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?

⁹Помоли се лук Твој као што си се заклео племенима; раздро си земљу за реке.

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

¹⁰Видеше Те горе и уздрхташе, поводањ навали; бездана пусти глас свој, увис подиже руке своје.

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.

¹¹Сунце и месец стадоше у стану свом, идоше према светлости Твоје стреле, према севању сјајног копља Твог.

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.

¹²Срдито си ишао по земљи, гневно си газио народе.

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

¹³Изашао си на спасење народу свом, на спасење с помазаником својим; размрскао си главу кући безбожничкој до врата откривши темељ.

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.

¹⁴Његовим копљима пробио си главу селима његовим кад наваљиваху као вихор да ме разаспу, радоваху се као да ће прождрети сиромаха у потаји.

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.

¹⁵Ишао си по мору на коњима својим, по гомили многе воде.

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

¹⁶Чух, и утроба се моја усколеба, усне ми уздрхташе на глас, у кости ми уђе трулеж, и устресох се на месту свом; како ћу почивати у дан невоље, кад дође на народ који ће га опустошити.

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.

¹⁷Јер смоква неће цвасти, нити ће бити рода на лози виновој; род ће маслинов преварити, и њиве неће дати хране, оваца ће нестати из тора, и говеда неће бити у обору.

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:

¹⁸Али ћу се ја радовати у Господу, веселићу се у Богу спасења свог.

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

¹⁹Господ је Господ сила моја, и даће ми ноге као у кошуте, и водиће ме по висинама мојим. Начелнику певачком уз жице моје.

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.
