1 προσευχη αμβακουμ του προφητου μετα ωδης | 1 A PRAYER OF HABACUC THE PROPHET FOR IGNORANCES. |
2 κυριε εισακηκοα την ακοην σου και εφοβηθην κατενοησα τα εργα σου και εξεστην εν μεσω δυο ζωων γνωσθηση εν τω εγγιζειν τα ετη επιγνωσθηση εν τω παρειναι τον καιρον αναδειχθηση εν τω ταραχθηναι την ψυχην μου εν οργη ελεους μνησθηση | 2 O Lord, I have heard thy hearing, and was afraid. O Lord, thy work, in the midst of the years bring it to life: In the midst of the years thou shalt make it known: when thou art angry, thou wilt remember mercy. |
3 ο θεος εκ θαιμαν ηξει και ο αγιος εξ ορους κατασκιου δασεος διαψαλμα εκαλυψεν ουρανους η αρετη αυτου και αινεσεως αυτου πληρης η γη | 3 God will come from the south, and the holy one from mount Pharan: His glory covered the heavens, and the earth is full of his praise. |
4 και φεγγος αυτου ως φως εσται κερατα εν χερσιν αυτου και εθετο αγαπησιν κραταιαν ισχυος αυτου | 4 His brightness shall be as the light; horns are in his hands: There is his strength hid: |
5 προ προσωπου αυτου πορευσεται λογος και εξελευσεται εν πεδιλοις οι ποδες αυτου | 5 Death shall go before his face. And the devil shall go forth before his feet. |
6 εστη και εσαλευθη η γη επεβλεψεν και διετακη εθνη διεθρυβη τα ορη βια ετακησαν βουνοι αιωνιοι | 6 He stood and measured the earth. He beheld, and melted the nations: and the ancient mountains were crushed to pieces. The hills of the world were bowed down by the journeys of his eternity. |
7 πορειας αιωνιας αυτου αντι κοπων ειδον σκηνωματα αιθιοπων πτοηθησονται και αι σκηναι γης μαδιαμ | 7 I saw the tents of Ethiopia for their iniquity, the curtains of the land of Madian shall be troubled. |
8 μη εν ποταμοις ωργισθης κυριε η εν ποταμοις ο θυμος σου η εν θαλασση το ορμημα σου οτι επιβηση επι τους ιππους σου και η ιππασια σου σωτηρια | 8 Wast thou angry, O Lord, with the rivers? or was thy wrath upon the rivers? or thy indignation in the sea? Who will ride upon thy horses: and thy chariots are salvation. |
9 εντεινων εντενεις το τοξον σου επι τα σκηπτρα λεγει κυριος διαψαλμα ποταμων ραγησεται γη | 9 Thou wilt surely take up thy bow: according to the oaths which thou hast spoken to the tribes. Thou wilt divide the rivers of the earth. |
10 οψονται σε και ωδινησουσιν λαοι σκορπιζων υδατα πορειας αυτου εδωκεν η αβυσσος φωνην αυτης υψος φαντασιας αυτης | 10 The mountains saw thee, and were grieved: the great body of waters passed away. The deep put forth its voice: the deep lifted up its hands. |
11 επηρθη ο ηλιος και η σεληνη εστη εν τη ταξει αυτης εις φως βολιδες σου πορευσονται εις φεγγος αστραπης οπλων σου | 11 The sun and the moon stood still in their habitation, in the light of thy arrows, they shall go in the brightness of thy glittering spear. |
12 εν απειλη ολιγωσεις γην και εν θυμω καταξεις εθνη | 12 In thy anger thou wilt tread the earth under foot: in thy wrath thou wilt astonish the nations. |
13 εξηλθες εις σωτηριαν λαου σου του σωσαι τους χριστους σου εβαλες εις κεφαλας ανομων θανατον εξηγειρας δεσμους εως τραχηλου διαψαλμα | 13 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people: for salvation with thy Christ. Thou struckest the head of the house of the wicked: thou hast laid bare his foundation even to the neck. |
14 διεκοψας εν εκστασει κεφαλας δυναστων σεισθησονται εν αυτη διανοιξουσιν χαλινους αυτων ως εσθων πτωχος λαθρα | 14 Thou hast cursed his sceptres, the head of his warriors, them that came out as a whirlwind to scatter me. Their joy was like that of him that devoureth the poor man in secret. |
15 και επεβιβασας εις θαλασσαν τους ιππους σου ταρασσοντας υδωρ πολυ | 15 Thou madest a way in the sea for thy horses, in the mud of many waters. |
16 εφυλαξαμην και επτοηθη η κοιλια μου απο φωνης προσευχης χειλεων μου και εισηλθεν τρομος εις τα οστα μου και υποκατωθεν μου εταραχθη η εξις μου αναπαυσομαι εν ημερα θλιψεως του αναβηναι εις λαον παροικιας μου | 16 I have heard and my bowels were troubled: my lips trembled at the voice. Let rottenness enter into my bones, and swarm under me. That I may rest in the day of tribulation: that I may go up to our people that are girded. |
17 διοτι συκη ου καρποφορησει και ουκ εσται γενηματα εν ταις αμπελοις ψευσεται εργον ελαιας και τα πεδια ου ποιησει βρωσιν εξελιπον απο βρωσεως προβατα και ουχ υπαρχουσιν βοες επι φατναις | 17 For the fig tree shall not blossom: and there shall be no spring in the vines. The labour of the olive tree shall fail: and the fields shall yield no food: the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls. |
18 εγω δε εν τω κυριω αγαλλιασομαι χαρησομαι επι τω θεω τω σωτηρι μου | 18 But I will rejoice in the Lord: and I will joy in God my Jesus. |
19 κυριος ο θεος δυναμις μου και ταξει τους ποδας μου εις συντελειαν επι τα υψηλα επιβιβα με του νικησαι εν τη ωδη αυτου . | 19 The Lord God is my strength: and he will make my feet like the feet of harts: and he the conqueror will lead me upon my high places singing psalms. |
