1 The burden that Habakkuk the prophet has seen:
1 LA carga que vió Habacuc profeta.
2 Until when, O YHWH, have I cried, || And You do not hear? I cry to You, “Violence!” And You do not save.
2 ¿Hasta cuándo, oh Jehová, clamaré, y no oirás; [y] daré voces á ti á causa de la violencia, y no salvarás?
3 Why do You show me iniquity, || And cause [me] to behold perversity? And spoiling and violence [are] before me, || And there is strife, and contention lifts [itself] up,
3 ¿Por qué me haces ver iniquidad, y haces que mire molestia, y saco y violencia delante de mí, habiendo además quien levante pleito y contienda?
4 Therefore law ceases, || And judgment does not go forth forever, || For the wicked is surrounding the righteous, || Therefore wrong judgment goes forth.
4 Por lo cual la ley es debilitada, y el juicio no sale verdadero: por cuanto el impío asedia al justo, por eso sale torcido el juicio.
5 “Look on nations, and behold and marvel greatly. For a work He is working in your days, || You do not believe though it is declared.
5 Mirad en las gentes, y ved, y maravillaos pasmosamente; porque obra será hecha en vuestros días, que aun cuando se os contare, no la creeréis.
6 For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans, || The bitter and hasty nation, || That is going to the broad places of earth, || To occupy dwelling places not his own.
6 Porque he aquí, yo levanto los Caldeos, gente amarga y presurosa, que camina por la anchura de la tierra para poseer las habitaciones ajenas.
7 He [is] terrible and fearful, || His judgment and his excellence go forth from him.
7 Espantosa es y terrible: de ella misma saldrá su derecho y su grandeza.
8 His horses have been swifter than leopards, || And sharper than evening wolves, || And his horsemen have increased, || Even his horsemen from afar come in, || They fly as an eagle, hastening to consume.
8 Y serán sus caballos más ligeros que tigres, y más agudos que lobos de tarde; y sus jinetes se multiplicarán: vendrán de lejos sus caballeros, y volarán como águilas que se apresuran á la comida.
9 All for violence—he comes in, || Their faces swallowing up the east wind, || And he gathers a captivity as the sand.
9 Toda ella vendrá á la presa: delante de sus caras viento solano; y juntará cautivos como arena.
10 And he scoffs at kings, || And princes [are] a laughter to him, || He laughs at every fortification, || And he heaps up dust, and captures it.
10 Y escarnecerá de los reyes, y de los príncipes hará burla: reiráse de toda fortaleza, y amontonará polvo, y la tomará.
11 Then the spirit has passed on, || Indeed, he transgresses, || And [ascribes] this—his power—to his god.”
11 Luego mudará espíritu, y pasará adelante, y ofenderá [atribuyendo] esta su potencia á su dios.
12 Are You not of old, O YHWH, my God, my Holy One? We do not die, O YHWH, || You have appointed him for judgment, || And, O Rock, You have founded him for reproof.
12 ¿No eres tú desde el principio, oh Jehová, Dios mío, Santo mío? No moriremos. Oh Jehová, para juicio lo pusiste; y tú, oh Roca, lo fundaste para castigar.
13 Purer of eyes than to behold evil, || You are not able to look on perverseness, || Why do You behold the treacherous? You keep silent when the wicked || Swallow the more righteous than he,
13 Muy limpio eres de ojos para ver el mal, ni puedes ver el agravio: ¿por qué ves los menospreciadores, y callas cuando destruye el impío al más justo que él,
14 And You make man as fishes of the sea, || As a creeping thing [with] none ruling over him.
14 Y haces que sean los hombres como los peces de la mar, como reptiles que no tienen señor?
15 He has brought up each of them with a hook, || He catches it in his net, and gathers it in his dragnet, || Therefore he delights and rejoices.
15 Sacará á todos con anzuelo, cogerálos con su red, y juntarálos en su aljerife: por lo cual se holgará y hará alegrías.
16 Therefore he sacrifices to his net, || And makes incense to his dragnet, || For by them [is] his portion fertile, and his food fat.
16 Por esto hará sacrificios á su red, y ofrecerá sahumerios á su aljerife: porque con ellos engordó su porción, y engrasó su comida.
17 Does he therefore empty his net, || And continually not spare to slay nations?
17 ¿Vaciará por eso su red, ó tendrá piedad de matar gentes continuamente?
