哈巴谷书 1
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
先知首次疑问
1 哈巴谷先知所得的默示。
2 耶和华啊!
我恳求,你不垂听,
要到几时呢?
我向你呼叫“有狂暴的事”,你却不拯救。
3 你为甚么使我看见恶行?
有奸恶的事,你为甚么见而不理?
毁灭和强暴在我面前,
纷争和相斗常常发生。
4 因此律法不能生效(“律法不能生效”原文作“律法松懈”),
公理无法彰显。
因为恶人把义人包围,所以公理颠倒。
耶和华的回答
5 你们当看列国,要定睛观看,就会大大惊奇,
因为在你们的日子,我要作一件事,
即使有人说了出来,你们也不会相信。
6 就是要兴起迦勒底人,那残忍凶暴的民;
他们遍行全地,占领别人的家园。
7 他们恐怖可怕,自以为义,趾高气扬。
8 他们的马比豹更快,比晚上的豺狼更猛。
他们的骑兵奔驰,自远而来;
他们如鹰飞翔,迅速吞噬。
9 他们定着脸面向前,齐来行暴,
掳获战俘多如尘沙。
10 他们戏弄君王,以掌权的为笑柄;
他们嗤笑一切城堡,筑垒攻取;
11 然后扫荡如风吹过。
他们是有罪的,因他们以自己的势力为神。
先知第二次的疑问
12 耶和华我的 神,我的圣者啊!
你不是自古就有的吗?我们不会死的。
耶和华啊!你派他们行审判。
盘石啊!你立他们施惩罚。
13 你的眼目纯洁,不看邪恶,
不能坐视奸恶;
为甚么见行诡诈的人而不理?
恶人吞灭比自己公义的人,你为甚么缄默呢?
14 你竟使人像海里的鱼,
像无人管辖的爬行的动物。
15 迦勒底人既用钩把他们钓起来,用网拖走,
用鱼网收聚在一处,就欢喜快乐,
16 向自己的网献祭,对鱼网烧香,
因他们藉此收获丰富,饮食充裕。
17 这样,他们倒空自己的网,
毫不留情地继续杀戮列国。

1 以下是哈巴谷先知得到的启示。
哈巴谷的抱怨
2 耶和华啊,
我要向你呼救到何时,
你才垂听呢?
暴虐横行,我向你呼求,
你却不拯救。
3 你为何让我目睹罪恶?
你为何容忍邪恶?
我眼前尽是毁灭和暴力,
到处是纷争和冲突。
4 因此律法失效,
正义不彰,
恶人包围义人,
正义被扭曲。
耶和华的答复
5 耶和华说:“你们环顾列国,
仔细察看,
必惊奇不已,
因为我要在你们的时代行一件事,
即使你们听说了也不会相信。
6 我要使凶残、暴虐的迦勒底人兴起。
他们要席卷天下,
强占别人的家园。
7 他们任意妄为,
令人胆战心惊。
8 “他们的马比豹子还快,
比夜狼还猛。
他们的骑兵从远方飞驰而来,
如鹰扑食。
9 他们残暴成性,
像狂风一样扑来,
抓获的俘虏多如尘沙。
10 他们嘲笑君王,讥讽首领,
对一切坚城嗤之以鼻,
修筑高台将其攻取。
11 他们如狂风横扫而过,
这些有罪的人把自己的力量奉为神明。”
哈巴谷再次抱怨
12 耶和华,
我的上帝,我的圣者啊,
你从亘古就存在,
你永不消逝[a]。
耶和华啊,你派迦勒底人来审判;
磐石啊,你立他们作施罚者。
13 你的眼目极为清洁,
见不得邪恶,
也不能容忍罪恶。
但你为何容忍奸恶之人呢?
恶人吞灭比他们公义的人,
你为何默然不语呢?
14 你为何使人像海里的鱼,
像没有首领的爬虫呢?
15 迦勒底人用钩子钩住他们,
用渔网网住他们,
用拖网把他们聚在一起,
并因此而欢喜快乐。
16 迦勒底人向渔网献祭,
向渔网烧香,
因为他们靠渔网而富裕,
食物充足。
17 难道他们要无休止地撒网,
无情地毁灭列国吗?

Habakkuk 1
King James Version
1 The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
2 O Lord, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!
3 Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
5 Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvelously: for I will work a work in your days which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
6 For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not their's.
7 They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
8 Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.
9 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
10 And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.
11 Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.
12 Art thou not from everlasting, O Lord my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O Lord, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.
13 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?
14 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
15 They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.
16 Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.
17 Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
