Habacuque 3

He Īnoi nā Hapakuku

1 He īnoi nā Hapakuku poropiti, ko Hikionoto te waiata.

2 E Ihowā, kua rongo ahau i tōu rongo,

wehi ana ahau, e Ihowā.

Kia ora tāu mahi i waenganui o ngā tau,

kia mātauria i waenganui o ngā tau;

i te mea e riri ana, mahara ki te tohu tangata.

3 I haere mai te Atua i Temana,

te Mea Tapu i Maunga Parana. Hera

Hei hīpoki tōna korōria mō ngā rangi;

kī tonu te whenua i te whakamoemiti ki a ia.

4 Ko tōna tīahotanga ānō ko te mārama;

he hihi e puta ana mai i tōna ringa;

i reira anō te hunanga o tōna kaha.

5 I mua i a ia te mate urutā e haere ana,

i puta anō he mura whānāriki i ōna waewae.

6 Tū ana ia, ā, whanganga ana e ia te whenua;

i titiro ia, ā, tītaria ana e ia ngā iwi.

Rererere ana ngā maunga onamata,

piko ana ngā pukepuke ō mua;

ko ōna ara koia anō kei onamata.

7 I kite ahau, kei te tuatea ngā tēneti o Kūhana;

wiri ana ngā tauārai o te whenua o Miriana.

8 I riri rānei a Ihowā ki ngā awa?

Ki ngā awa rānei tōu riri,

ki te moana rānei tōu riri?

I haere ai koe i runga i āu hōiho,

i āu hāriata whakaora?

9 I meinga tāu kōpere kia noho tahanga;

ko ngā oati ki ngā hapū he kupu pono. Hera

Wāhia ana e koe te whenua ki ngā awa.

10 I kite ngā maunga i a koe, ā, wehi ana;

i pahemo ake te waipuke o ngā wai;

i puaki te reo o te rire,

ā, ara ana ōna ringa ki runga.

11 Tū ana te rā me te marama i tō rāua kāinga,

haere ana rātou i te mārama o āu pere,

i te wherikotanga o tāu tao kanapa.

12 Hāereerea ana e koe te whenua i runga i te āritarita,

patua ā-wītitia ana e koe ngā iwi i runga i te riri.

13 I puta koe ki te whakaora i tāu iwi,

āe rā, ki te whakaora i tāu i whakawahi ai.

Pakaru ana i a koe te upoko i roto o te whare o te hunga kino,

takoto kau ana te tūranga, ā taea noatia te kakī. Hera

14 Werohia ana e koe te upoko o ōna ariki ki āna tokotoko anō;

ānō he paroro rātou e āki mai ana ki te tītaritari i ahau;

ko tō rātou koanga ngākau he kai puku i te rawakore.

15 Takahia ana e koe te moana ki ōu hōiho,

te haupūranga o ngā wai nunui.

16 I tōku rongonga, wiri ana tōku kōpū;

oraora ana ōku ngutu i te reo.

Ngoto ana te pirau ki roto ki ōku wheua,

ā, wiri ana ahau i tōku wāhi.

He mea ia e whai okiokinga ai ahau i te rā o te raru,

i te haerenga ake ki te iwi e kōkiri ana mai ki a ia me āna kaieke hōiho.

Te Whakawhirinaki me te Koa i waenganui i te Raruraru

17 Ahakoa kore te piki e kōpuku,

kore ngā wāina e whai hua;

ka hē te mahi ōriwa,

kāhore hoki ngā māra e whai kai;

ko ngā hipi poto ake i roto i ngā taiepa,

kāhore hoki he kau i roto i ngā taiepa kau;

18 otiia, ka koa ahau ki a Ihowā,

ka whakamanamana ki te Atua o tōku whakaoranga.

19 Ko Ihowā, ko tōku Ariki, tōku kaha,

ka meinga e ia ōku waewae kia rite ki ō te hāta,

ka meinga anō ahau e ia kia takahi i runga i ōku wāhi tiketike.

Ki te tino kaiwaiata i runga i āku mea whakatangi.

1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, set to Shigionoth.

2 O Jehovah, I have heard the report of thee, and am afraid:

O Jehovah, revive thy work in the midst of the years;

In the midst of the years make it known;

In wrath remember mercy.

3 God came from Teman,

And the Holy One from mount Paran. [Selah

His glory covered the heavens,

And the earth was full of his praise.

4 And his brightness was as the light;

He had rays coming forth from his hand;

And there was the hiding of his power.

5 Before him went the pestilence,

And fiery bolts went forth at his feet.

6 He stood, and measured the earth;

He beheld, and drove asunder the nations;

And the eternal mountains were scattered;

The everlasting hills did bow;

His goings were as of old.

7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction;

The curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.

8 Was Jehovah displeased with the rivers?

Was thine anger against the rivers,

Or thy wrath against the sea,

That thou didst ride upon thy horses,

Upon thy chariots of salvation?

9 Thy bow was made quite bare;

The oaths to the tribes were a sure word. [Selah

Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.

10 The mountains saw thee, and were afraid;

The tempest of waters passed by;

The deep uttered its voice,

And lifted up its hands on high.

11 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation,

At the light of thine arrows as they went,

At the shining of thy glittering spear.

12 Thou didst march through the land in indignation;

Thou didst thresh the nations in anger.

13 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people,

For the salvation of thine anointed;

Thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked man,

Laying bare the foundation even unto the neck. [Selah

14 Thou didst pierce with his own staves the head of his warriors:

They came as a whirlwind to scatter me;

Their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.

15 Thou didst tread the sea with thy horses,

The heap of mighty waters.

16 I heard, and my body trembled,

My lips quivered at the voice;

Rottenness entereth into my bones, and I tremble in my place;

Because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble,

For the coming up of the people that invadeth us.

17 For though the fig-tree shall not flourish,

Neither shall fruit be in the vines;

The labor of the olive 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 Yet I will rejoice in Jehovah,

I will joy in the God of my salvation.

19 Jehovah, the Lord, is my strength;

And he maketh my feet like hinds’ feet,

And will make me to walk upon my high places.

For the Chief Musician, on my stringed instruments.
