Habacuque 3

1 A prayer of Habakkuk, the prophet, set to victorious music.

2 Yahweh, I have heard of your fame.

I stand in awe of your deeds, Yahweh.

Renew your work in the middle of the years.

In the middle of the years make it known.

In wrath, you remember mercy.

3 God came from Teman,

the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah.

His glory covered the heavens,

and his praise filled the earth.

4 His splendor is like the sunrise.

Rays shine from his hand, where his power is hidden.

5 Plague went before him,

and pestilence followed his feet.

6 He stood, and shook the earth.

He looked, and made the nations tremble.

The ancient mountains were crumbled.

The age-old hills collapsed.

His ways are eternal.

7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction.

The dwellings of the land of Midian trembled.

8 Was Yahweh displeased with the rivers?

Was your anger against the rivers,

or your wrath against the sea,

that you rode on your horses,

on your chariots of salvation?

9 You uncovered your bow.

You called for your sworn arrows. Selah.

You split the earth with rivers.

10 The mountains saw you, and were afraid.

The storm of waters passed by.

The deep roared and lifted up its hands on high.

11 The sun and moon stood still in the sky

at the light of your arrows as they went,

at the shining of your glittering spear.

12 You marched through the land in wrath.

You threshed the nations in anger.

13 You went out for the salvation of your people,

for the salvation of your anointed.

You crushed the head of the land of wickedness.

You stripped them head to foot. Selah.

14 You pierced the heads of his warriors with their own spears.

They came as a whirlwind to scatter me,

gloating as if to devour the wretched in secret.

15 You trampled the sea with your horses,

churning mighty waters.

16 I heard, and my body trembled.

My lips quivered at the voice.

Rottenness enters 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 who invade us.

17 For even though the fig tree doesn’t flourish,

nor fruit be in the vines,

the labor of the olive fails,

the fields yield no food,

the flocks are cut off from the fold,

and there is no herd in the stalls,

18 yet I will rejoice in Yahweh.

I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!

19 Yahweh, the Lord,*3:19 The word translated "Lord" is "Adonai." is my strength.

He makes my feet like deer’s feet,

and enables me to go in high places.

For the music director, on my stringed instruments.

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.
