| [1]The burden, which Habakkuk the prophet did see. |
[1]ܚܸܙܘܵܐ ܕܲܚ̣ܙܵܐ ܚܲܒ̣ܩܘܿܩ ܢܒ̣ܝܼܵܐ. |
| [2]O Lord, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! Even cry out unto thee for violence, and thou wilt not help! |
[2]ܥܕܲܡܵܐ ܠܐܸܡܲܬ̣ܝ ܡܵܪܝܵܐ ܓܵܥܹ̇ܐ ܐ̄ܢܵܐ ܘܠܵܐ ܫܵܡܲܥ ܐܲܢ̄ܬ̇: ܘܩܵܥܹ̇ܐ ܐ̄ܢܵܐ ܠܘܵܬ̣ܵܟ݂ ܥܲܠ ܚܵܛ̇ܘܿܦܹ̈ܐ ܘܠܵܐ ܡܦܲܨܹܐ ܐܲܢ̄ܬ̇. |
| [3]Why dost thou show me iniquity, and cause me to behold sorrow? For spoiling, and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention. |
[3]ܠܡܵܢܵܐ ܚܵܘ̣ܝܼܬܵܢܝ ܥܵܘܼܠܵܐ ܘܥܸܬܵܐ: ܘܚܵܙܹ̇ܐ ܐ̄ܢܵܐ ܚܛܘܼܦܝܵܐ ܘܒ̣ܝܼܫܬܵܐ: ܩܕ݂ܵܡܲܝ ܗܘ̤ܵܐ ܕܝܼܢܵܐ: ܘܕܲܝܵܢܵܐ ܩܲܒܸ̇ܠ̣ ܫܘܼܚܕܵܐ. |
| [4]Therefore the law is dissolved, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous: therefore wrong judgment proceedeth. |
[4]ܡܸܛܠ ܗܵܢܵܐ ܦܵܓ̣ ܢܵܡܘܿܣܵܐ: ܘܠܵܐ ܢ̣ܦܲܩ ܕܝܼܢܵܐ ܒܙܲܕ̇ܝܼܩܵܐ: ܘܲܢ̣ܦܲܩ ܕܝܼܢܵܐ ܕܒܲܪ ܒܝܼܫ ܒܝܼܫ ܠܙܲܕ̇ܝܼܩܵܐ: ܘܲܢ̣ܦܲܩ ܕܝܼܢܵܐ ܟܲܕ݂ ܡܥܲܩܲܡ. |
| [5]Behold among the heathen, and regard, and wonder, and marvel: for I will work a work in your days: ye will not believe it, though it be told you. |
[5]ܚܙܵܘ ܡܲܪ̈ܵܚܹܐ: ܘܚܘܼܪܘ ܘܐܸܬ̇ܕܲܡܲܪܘ: ܘܲܬ̣ܡܲܗܘ: ܡܸܛܠ ܕܲܥܒ̣ܵܕ݂ܵܐ ܥܵܒܹ̇ܕ݂ ܐ̄ܢܵܐ ܒܝܵܘ̈ܡܲܝܟ̇ܘܿܢ: ܘܠܵܐ ܡܗܲܝܡܢܝܼܢ ܐ̄ܢ̇ܬ̇ܘܿܢ ܐܸܢ ܐ̄ܢܵܫ ܡܸܫܬܲܥܸܐ ܠܟ݂ܘܿܢ. |
| [6]For lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and furious nation, which shall go upon the breadth of the land to possess the dwelling places, that are not theirs. |
[6]ܡܸܛܠ ܕܗܵܐ ܐܸܢܵܐ ܡܩܝܼܡ ܐ̄ܢܵܐ ܠܟܲܠܕ݂ܵܝܹ̈ܐ: ܥܲܡܵܐ ܡܲܪܵܚܵܐ ܘܡܲܪܝܼܪܵܐ: ܕܐܵܙܹ̇ܠ ܒܲܦܬ̣ܵܝܵܗ̇ ܕܐܲܪܥܵܐ ܠܡܹܐܪܲܬ̣ ܡܲܫܟ̇ܢܹ̈ܐ ܕܠܵܐ ܕܝܼܠܹܗ. |
| [7]They are terrible and fearful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves. |
[7]ܥܲܫܝܼܢ ܗ̄ܘܼ ܘܲܕ݂ܚܝܼܠ: ܘܕ݂ܝܼܢܹܗ ܡܸܢܹܗ: ܘܚܸܙܘܹܗ ܡܲܦܲܩ. |
| [8]Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the wolves in the evening: and their horsemen are many: and their horsemen shall come from far: they shall fly as the eagle hasting to meat. |
[8]ܩܲܠܝܼܠܝܼܢ ܪ̈ܲܟ݂ܫܹܗ ܡ̣ܢ ܢܸܫܪܹ̈ܐ: ܘܚܲܪܝܼܦܝܼܢ ܡ̣ܢ ܕܹܐܒܹ̈ܐ ܕܪܲܡܫܵܐ: ܘܲܢܛܘܼܣܘܼܢ ܦܲܪ̈ܵܫܵܘܗܝ ܘܢܹܐܬ̣ܘܿܢ ܦܲܪ̈ܵܫܵܘܗܝ ܡ̣ܢ ܪܘܼܚܩܵܐ: ܘܲܢܛܘܼܣܘܼܢ ܐܲܝܟ݂ ܢܸܫܪܵܐ ܕܲܟ݂ܦܸܢ ܠܡܹܐܟ݂ܘܼܠܬܵܐ. |
| [9]They come all to spoil: before their faces shall be an east wind, and they shall gather the captivity, as the sand. |
[9]ܟܠܗܘܿܢ ܠܲܚܛܘܼܦܝܵܐ ܐܵܬܹ̇ܝܢ: ܚܸܙܘܵܐ ܕܐܲܦܲܝ̈ܗܘܿܢ ܥܲܫܝܼܢ: ܘܟ݂ܵܢ̇ܫܝܼܢ ܫܒ̣ܝܼܬ̣ܵܐ ܐܲܝܟ݂ ܚܵܠܵܐ. |
| [10]And they shall mock the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold: for they shall gather dust, and take it. |
[10]ܘܗ̤ܘ ܒܡܲܠ̈ܟܹ̇ܐ ܡܡܲܝܸܩ: ܘܲܒ̣ܫܲܠܝܼܛܵܢܹ̈ܐ ܡܒܲܙܲܚ: ܘܥܲܠ ܟܠ ܟܲܪ̈ܟ݂ܝܼܢ ܓܵܚܹ̇ܟ: ܘܲܡܩܲܒܲܪ ܥܲܦܪܵܐ ܘܐܵܚܹ̇ܕ݂ ܠܹܗ. |
| [11]Then shall they take a courage, and transgress and do wickedly, imputing this their power unto their god. |
[11]ܗܵܝܕܹ̇ܝܢ ܬܸܚܠܲܦ ܪܘܼܚܹܗ ܘܬܸܥܒܲܪ: ܘܢܸܬ̣ܚܲܝܲܒ̣ ܚܲܝܠܹܗ ܠܐܲܠܵܗܹܗ. |
| [12]Art thou not of old, O Lord my God, mine Holy One? We shall not die: O Lord, thou hast ordained them for judgment, and O God, thou hast established them for correction. |
[12]ܡܸܛܠ ܕܐܲܢ̄ܬ̇ ܗ̄ܘܼ ܡ̣ܢ ܪܹܫܝܼܬ̣ܵܐ ܡܵܪܝܵܐ ܐܲܠܵܗܝ ܩܲܕ̇ܝܼܫܵܐ: ܕܠܵܐ ܢܵܡܘܿܣ ܐܲܢ̄ܬ̇ ܡܵܪܝܵܐ: ܣܵܡ̣ܬܵܝܗܝ ܠܕ݂ܝܼܢܵܐ ܘܲܓ̣ܒܲܠ̣ܬܵܢܝ ܠܡܲܟܵܣܘܼܬܹܗ. |
| [13]Thou art of pure eyes, and canst not see evil: thou canst not behold wickedness: wherefore dost thou look upon the transgressors, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man, that is more righteous than he? |
[13]ܕܲܟ݂̈ܝܵܢ ܐܸܢܹܝܢ ܥܲܝܢܲܝ̈ܟ ܘܠܵܐ ܚܵܙ̈ܝܵܢ ܒܝܼܫܬܵܐ: ܘܠܲܡܚܵܪ ܒܥܵܘܿܠܹ̈ܐ ܠܵܐ ܡܸܫܟܲܚ ܐܲܢ̄ܬ̇: ܠܡܵܢܵܐ ܐܲܢ̄ܬ̇ ܒܡܲܪ̈ܵܚܹܐ ܘܫܲܬ̇ܝܼܩ ܐܲܢ̄ܬ̇: ܟܲܕ݂ ܒܵܠܲܥ ܥܵܘܵܠܵܐ ܠܙܲܕ̇ܝܼܩܵܐ. |
| [14]And makest men as the fishes of the sea, and as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them. |
[14]ܘܲܥ̣ܒܲܕ̇ܬ̇ ܐܸܢܘܿܢ ܠܲܒ̣ܢܲܝ̈ܢܵܫܵܐ ܐܲܝܟ݂ ܢܘܼܢܹ̈ܐ ܕܲܒ̣ܝܲܡܵܐ: ܘܐܲܝܟ݂ ܪ̈ܲܚܫܵܐ ܕܠܲܝܬ̇ ܠܹܗ ܡܕܲܒ̇ܪܵܢܵܐ. |
| [15]They take up all with the angle: they catch it in their net, and gather it in their yarn, whereof they rejoice and are glad. |
[15]ܕܟ݂ܠܹܗ ܒܨܸܢܵܪܬܵܐ ܣܵܠܹ̇ܩ: ܘܡܸܬ̣̱ܢܓܸܕ݂ ܒܲܡܨܝܼܕ̇ܬܵܐ ܘܡܸܬ̣ܟ̇ܢܸܫ ܒܓ̣ܵܘܦܵܐ: ܘܟܲܕ݂ ܟܢܫ̣ ܚ̣ܕ݂ܝܼ ܘܕ݂ܵܨ. |
| [16]Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their yarn, because by them their portion is fat and their meat plenteous. |
[16]ܘܕܲܒܲܚ̣ ܠܲܡܨܝܼܕ̇ܬܹܗ: ܘܣܵܡ̣ ܒܸܣܡܹ̈ܐ ܠܓ̣ܵܘܦܹܗ: ܡܸܛܠ ܕܲܒ̣ܗܹܝܢ ܫܸܡܢܲܬ̤ ܡܢܵܬܹܗ ܘܡܹܐܟ݂ܘܼܠܬܹ̇ܗ ܓܒ̣ܝܼܬ̣ܵܐ. |
| [17]Shall they therefore stretch out their net and not spare continually to slay the nations? |
[17]ܡܸܛܠܗܵܢܵܐ ܫܵܕܹ̇ܐ ܡܨܝܼܕ̇ܬܹ̇ܗ ܒܟ݂ܠܙܒܲܢ: ܘܩܵܛܹ̇ܠ ܥܲܡܡܹ̈ܐ ܘܠܵܐ ܚܵܐܹ̇ܣ. |
