1 La palabra que vio el profeta Habacuc.
1 The revelation which Habakkuk the prophet saw.
2 ¿Hasta cuándo, Señor, tus oídos estarán cerrados a mi voz? Clamo a ti por la violencia, pero no envías salvación.
2 Yahweh, how long will I cry, and you will not hear? I cry out to you “Violence!” and will you not save?
3 ¿Por qué me haces ver la maldad? ¿Por qué mis ojos están fijos en el mal? Ante mí hay destrucción y violencia, peleas y discusiones amargas.
3 Why do you show me iniquity, and look at perversity? For destruction and violence are before me. There is strife, and contention rises up.
4 Por eso la ley es débil y las decisiones no se cumplen. Los malhechores rodean al justo, y por eso se tuerce la justicia.
4 Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails; for the wicked surround the righteous; therefore justice comes out perverted.
5 «Miren entre las naciones, presten atención y asómbrense. En sus días estoy haciendo una obra que ustedes no creerían aunque se la contaran.
5 “Look among the nations, watch, and wonder marvelously; for I am working a work in your days which you will not believe though it is told you.
6 Miren, envío a los caldeos, esa nación cruel y veloz. Recorren los lugares amplios de la tierra para adueñarse de viviendas que no son suyas.
6 For, behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation who march through the width of the earth, to possess dwelling places that are not theirs.
7 Causan mucho miedo; ellos mismos deciden lo que es justo.
7 They are feared and dreaded. Their judgment and their dignity proceed from themselves.
8 Sus caballos son más rápidos que los leopardos, y sus jinetes más crueles que los lobos del anochecer. Vienen de lejos, como un águila que vuela apresurada hacia su alimento.
8 Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves. Their horsemen press proudly on. Yes, their horsemen come from afar. They fly as an eagle that hurries to devour.
9 Todos vienen con fuerza, con el rostro dirigido hacia adelante. Sus prisioneros son tan numerosos como la arena del mar.
9 All of them come for violence. Their hordes face forward. They gather prisoners like sand.
10 Él se burla de los reyes, y los gobernantes le sirven de diversión. Se ríe de todas las fortalezas, pues levanta rampas de tierra y las conquista.
10 Yes, they scoff at kings, and princes are a derision to them. They laugh at every stronghold, for they build up an earthen ramp and take it.
11 Entonces cambiará su propósito y pasará los límites; hará de su fuerza su dios».
11 Then they sweep by like the wind and go on. They are indeed guilty, whose strength is their god.”
12 ¿No eres eterno, Señor, mi Dios, mi Santo? Tú no mueres. Señor, tú lo has designado para castigarnos; tú, Roca, lo has elegido para corregirnos.
12 Aren’t you from everlasting, Yahweh my God, my Holy One? We will not die. Yahweh, you have appointed them for judgment. You, Rock, have established him to punish.
13 El pecado no puede estar ante tus ojos santos, y no puedes soportar el mal. ¿Por qué, entonces, miras a los traidores? ¿Por qué guardas silencio cuando el malhechor destruye a alguien más justo que él?
13 You who have purer eyes than to see evil, and who cannot look on perversity, why do you tolerate those who deal treacherously and keep silent when the wicked swallows up the man who is more righteous than he,
14 Él ha hecho a los seres humanos como los peces del mar, como los gusanos que no tienen gobernante.
14 and make men like the fish of the sea, like the creeping things that have no ruler over them?
15 Los saca a todos con su anzuelo, los atrapa en su red y los reúne en su red de pesca. Por eso está contento y lleno de alegría.
15 He takes up all of them with the hook. He catches them in his net and gathers them in his dragnet. Therefore he rejoices and is glad.
16 Por eso hace una ofrenda a su red y quema incienso a su red de pesca, pues con ellas obtiene mucha comida y carne abundante en grasa.
16 Therefore he sacrifices to his net and burns incense to his dragnet, because by them his life is luxurious and his food is good.
17 Por eso su red siempre está abierta, y no deja de destruir a las naciones.
17 Will he therefore continually empty his net, and kill the nations without mercy?
