CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINNOVA VULGATA
1 A Prayer of Habakkuk the Prophet on Behalf of Those Who Are Ignorant.1 Oratio Habacuc prophetae.
Secundum melodiam lamentationum.
2 Lord, I heard what has been said about you, and I was afraid. Lord, your work, in the midst of years, revive it. In the midst of years, you will make it known. When you have become angry, you will remember mercy.2 Domine, audivi auditionem tuam
et timui, Domine, opus tuum.
In medio annorum vivifica illud,
in medio annorum notum facies.
Cum iratus fueris, misericordiae recordaberis.
3 God will come from the south, and the Holy One from mount Pharan. His glory has covered the heavens, and the earth is full of his praise.3 Deus a Theman veniet,
et Sanctus de monte Pharan. — Selah.
Operit caelos gloria eius,
et laudis eius plena est terra.
4 His brightness shall be like the light; horns are in his hands. There, his strength has been hidden.4 Splendor eius ut lux erit,
radii ex manibus eius:
ibi abscondita est fortitudo eius.
5 Death will go forth before his face. And the devil shall depart before his feet.5 Ante faciem eius ibit mors,
et egredietur pestis post pedes eius.
6 He stood, and measured the earth. He looked, and dissolved the Gentiles. And the mountains of ages past have been shattered. The hills of the world became curved by the journeys of his eternity.6 Stetit et concussit terram,
aspexit et dissolvit gentes.
Et contriti sunt montes saeculi,
incurvati sunt colles antiqui
ab itineribus aeternitatis eius.
7 I saw the tents of Ethiopia for their iniquity; the tent-skins of the land of Midian will be thrown into confusion.7 In afflictione vidi tentoria Chusan;
turbantur pelles terrae Madian.
8 Could you have been angry with the rivers, Lord? Or was your fury within the rivers, or your indignation in the sea? He will ascend upon your horses, and your four-horse chariots are salvation.8 Numquid in fluminibus iratus es, Domine,
aut in fluminibus furor tuus
vel in mari indignatio tua?
Quia ascendes super equos tuos,
quadrigas tuas victrices.
9 Being stirred up, you will take up your bow, the oaths you have spoken to the tribes. You will split apart the Rivers of the earth.9 Suscitans suscitabis arcum tuum,
sagittis replevisti pharetram tuam. — Selah.
In fluvios scindes terram,
10 They saw you, and the mountains grieved. The great body of waters crossed over. The abyss uttered its voice. The pinnacle lifted up its hands.10 viderunt te et doluerunt montes.
Effuderunt aquas nubes,
dedit abyssus vocem suam,
in altum levavit manus suas.
11 The sun and the moon have stood firm in their dwelling place; with the light of your arrows, they shall go forth in the splendor of your flashing spear.11 Sol et luna steterunt in habitaculo suo,
prae luce sagittarum tuarum discedunt,
prae splendore fulgurantis hastae tuae.
12 With a roar, you will trample the earth. In your fury, you will cause the nations to be stupefied.12 In fremitu calcabis terram,
in furore conteres gentes.
13 You have gone forth for the salvation of your people, for salvation with your Christ. You struck the head of the house of the impious. You have laid bare his foundation all the way to the neck.13 Egressus es in salutem populi tui,
in salutem cum christo tuo.
Percussisti caput de domo impii,
denudasti fundamentum usque ad petram. — Selah.
14 You have cursed his scepters, the head of his warriors, those who approached like a whirlwind so as to scatter me. Their exultation was like one who devours the poor in secret.14 Confodisti iaculis tuis caput bellatorum eius,
venientium ut turbo ad dispergendum me;
exsultatio eorum, sicut eius, qui devorat pauperem in abscondito.
15 You made a way in the sea for your horses, in the mud of great waters.15 Viamfecisti in mari equis tuis,
in luto aquarum multarum.
16 I heard, and my stomach became troubled. My lips trembled at the voice. Let decay enter into my bones and gush forth from within me. Then I may rest in the day of tribulation, so that I may ascend to our people well-prepared.16 Audivi, et conturbatus est venter meus,
ad vocem contremuerunt labia mea. Ingreditur putredo in ossibus meis, et subterme vacillant gressus mei.
Conquiescam in die tribulationis,
ut ascendat super populum, qui invadit nos.
17 For the fig tree will not flower, and there will be no bud on the vines. The labor of the olive tree will be misleading, and the farmland will produce no food. The sheep will be cut off from the sheepfold, and there will be no herd at the manger.17 Ficus enim non florebit,
et non erit fructus in vineis;
mentietur opus olivae,
et arva non afferent cibum;
abscissum est de ovili pecus,
et non est armentum in praesepibus.
18 But I will rejoice in the Lord; and I will exult in God my Jesus.18 Ego autem in Domino gaudebo
et exsultabo in Deo salvatore meo.
19 The Lord God is my strength. And he will set my feet like those of the stag. And he, the victor, will lead me beyond my high places while singing psalms.19 Dominus Deus fortitudo mea
et ponet pedes meos quasi cervorum et super excelsa mea deducet me.
Magistro chori. Ad sonitum chordarum.
