JERUSALEM	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Prière. De Habaquq le prophète, sur le ton des lamentations.	1 A Prayer of Habakkuk the Prophet on Behalf of Those Who Are Ignorant.
2 Yahvé, j'ai appris ton renom, Yahvé, j'ai redouté ton oeuvre! En notre temps, fais-la revivre! Ennotre temps, fais-la connaître! Dans la colère, souviens-toi d'avoir pitié!	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 Eloah vient de Témân et le Saint du mont Parân.	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 Son éclat est pareil au jour, des rayons jaillissent de ses mains, c'est là que se cache sa force.	4 His brightness shall be like the light; horns are in his hands. There, his strength has been hidden.
5 Devant lui s'avance la peste, la fièvre marche sur ses pas.	5 Death will go forth before his face. And the devil shall depart before his feet.
6 Il se dresse et fait trembler la terre, il regarde et fait frémir les nations. Alors les monts éternels sedisloquent, les collines antiques s'effondrent, ses routes de toujours.	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 J'ai vu les tentes de Kushân frappées d'épouvante, les pavillons du pays de Madiân sont pris detremblements.	7 I saw the tents of Ethiopia for their iniquity; the tent-skins of the land of Midian will be thrown into confusion.
8 Est-ce contre les fleuves, Yahvé, que flambe ta colère, ou contre la mer ta fureur, pour que tumontes sur tes chevaux, sur tes chars de salut?	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 Tu mets à nu ton arc, de flèches tu rassasies sa corde.	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 Les montagnes te voient, elles sont dans les transes; une trombe d'eau passe, l'abîme fait entendresa voix, en haut il tend les mains.	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 Le soleil et la lune restent dans leur demeure; ils fuient devant l'éclat de tes flèches, sous la lueurdes éclairs de ta lance.	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 Avec rage tu arpentes la terre, avec colère tu écrases les nations.	12 With a roar, you will trample the earth. In your fury, you will cause the nations to be stupefied.
13 Tu t'es mis en campagne pour sauver ton peuple, pour sauver ton oint, tu as abattu la maison del'impie, mis à nu le fondement jusqu'au rocher.	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 Tu as percé de tes épieux le chef de ses guerriers qui se ruaient pour nous disperser, avec des crisde joie comme s'ils allaient, dans leur repaire, dévorer un malheureux.	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 Tu as foulé la mer avec tes chevaux, le bouillonnement des grandes eaux!	15 You made a way in the sea for your horses, in the mud of great waters.
16 J'ai entendu! Mon sein frémit. A ce bruit mes lèvres tremblent, la carie pénètre mes os, sous moichancellent mes pas. J'attends en paix ce jour d'angoisse qui se lève contre le peuple qui nous assaille!	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 (Car le figuier ne bourgeonnera plus; plus rien à récolter dans les vignes. Le produit de l'olivierdécevra, les champs ne donneront plus à manger, les brebis disparaîtront du bercail; plus de boeufs dans lesétables.)	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 Mais moi je me réjouirai en Yahvé, j'exulterai en Dieu mon Sauveur!	18 But I will rejoice in the Lord; and I will exult in God my Jesus.
19 Yahvé mon Seigneur est ma force, il rend mes pieds pareils à ceux des biches, sur les cimes ilporte mes pas. Du maître de chant. Sur instruments à cordes.	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.
