BIBLIA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Oración del profeta Habacuc, en el tono de las lamentaciones.	1 A Prayer of Habakkuk the Prophet on Behalf of Those Who Are Ignorant.
2 ¡Yahveh, he oído tu fama, tu obra venero, Yahveh! ¡En medio de los años hazla revivir en medio de los años dala a conocer, aun en la ira acuérdate de tener compasión!	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.
3 Viene Dios de Temán, el Santo, del monte Parán. Pausa. Su majestad cubre los cielos, de su gloria está llena la tierra.	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.
4 Su fulgor es como la luz, rayos tiene que saltan de su mano, allí se oculta su poder.	4 His brightness shall be like the light; horns are in his hands. There, his strength has been hidden.
5 Delante de él marcha la peste, sale la fiebre tras sus pasos.	5 Death will go forth before his face. And the devil shall depart before his feet.
6 Se planta él y hace temblar la tierra, mira y hace estremecerse a las naciones; se desmoronan los montes eternos, se hunden los collados antiguos, ¡sus caminos de siempre!	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.
7 En desgracia he visto las tiendas de Kusán, se estremecen los pabellones de Madián.	7 I saw the tents of Ethiopia for their iniquity; the tent-skins of the land of Midian will be thrown into confusion.
8 ¿Contra los ríos arde tu cólera, Yahveh, contra el mar tu furor, para que montes en tus caballos, en tus carros de victoria?	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.
9 Tú desnudas tu arco, sacias su cuerda de saetas. Pausa. De ríos surcas tú la tierra;	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.
10 te ven y se espantan los montes, un diluvio de agua pasa, el abismo deja oír su voz. En alto levanta sus manos	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.
11 el sol, la luna se detiene en su sitio, a la luz de tus saetas que parten, al fulgor del centellear de tu lanza.	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.
12 Con furia atraviesas la tierra, con cólera pisoteas las naciones.	12 With a roar, you will trample the earth. In your fury, you will cause the nations to be stupefied.
13 Tú sales a salvar a tu pueblo, a salvar a tu ungido. Estrellas la cabeza de la casa del impío, desnudas sus cimientos hasta el cuello. Pausa.	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.
14 Traspasas con tus dardos la cabeza de sus nobles que se lanzaban para dispersarnos con su estrépito, como si fuesen a devorar al desdichado en su escondrijo.	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.
15 Tú surcas el mar con tus caballos, el borbotar de las inmensas aguas.	15 You made a way in the sea for your horses, in the mud of great waters.
16 ¡He oído y mis entrañas se estremecen, a esa voz titubean mis labios, penetra la caries en mis huesos, bajo mí tiemblan mis pasos! Tranquilo espero el día de la angustia, que va a subir sobre el pueblo que nos asalta.	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.
17 (Pues la higuera no volverá a echar brotes, ni habrá que recoger en las viñas. Fallará la cosecha del olivo, los campos no darán alimento, faltará el ganado menor en el aprisco, no habrá ganado mayor en los establos.)	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.
18 ¡Mas yo en Yahveh exultaré, jubilaré en el Dios de mi salvación!	18 But I will rejoice in the Lord; and I will exult in God my Jesus.
19 Yahveh mi señor es mi fuerza, él me da pies como los de ciervas, y por las alturas me hace caminar. Del maestro de coro. Para instrumentos de cuerda.	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.
