Kniha proroka Habakuka

1 (CPDV) The burden that Habakkuk the prophet saw.
1 (ROH) Bremä, ktoré videl prorok Habakuk!

2 (CPDV) How long, O Lord, shall I cry out, and you will not heed? Shall I shout to you while suffering 523 violence, and you will not save?
2 (ROH) Až dokedy budem, Hospodine, pokorne volať o pomoc, a nevyslyšíš? Kričím k tebe pre ukrutnosť, a nezachraňuješ.

3 (CPDV) Why have you revealed to me iniquity and hardship, to see plunder and injustice opposite me? And there has been judgment, but the opposition is more powerful.
3 (ROH) Prečo mi dávaš vidieť neprávosť, a prečo sa dívaš na trápenie? Zkaza a ukrutnosť je predo mnou, a vzniká spor, dvíha sa svár.

4 (CPDV) Because of this, the law has been torn apart, and judgment does not persevere to its conclusion. For the impious prevail against the just. Because of this, a perverse judgment is issued.
4 (ROH) Preto zmeravel zákon, a súd nevychádza nikdy, lebo bezbožný obkľučuje spravedlivého; preto aj vychádza súd prevrátený.

5 (CPDV) Gaze among the nations, and see. Admire, and be astounded. For a work has been done in your days, which no one will believe when it is told.
5 (ROH) Pozrite na národy, hľaďte a zhrozte sa bezradní, lebo vykonám dielo vo vašich dňoch, že mu neuveríte, keď sa budete rozprávať.

6 (CPDV) For behold, I will raise up the Chaldeans, a bitter and swift people, marching across the width of the earth, to possess tabernacles not their own.
6 (ROH) Lebo hľa, vzbudím Chaldejov, národ ľúty a rýchly, ktorý chodí na šíriny zeme, aby zaujal dedične príbytky, nie svoje.

7 (CPDV) It is dreadful and terrible. From themselves, judgment and their burden will issue.
7 (ROH) Hrozný je a strašný; od neho vyjde jeho súd a jeho vznešenosť.

8 (CPDV) Their horses are more nimble than leopards and swifter than wolves in the evening; their horsemen will spread out. And then their horsemen will approach from far away; they will fly like the eagle, hurrying to devour.
8 (ROH) Jeho kone budú rýchlejšie ako pardovia, a budú ľútejší ako vlci večera; jeho jazdcov bude veľké množstvo, a jeho jazdci prijdú zďaleka; poletia ako orol, ktorý sa ponáhľa zožať.

9 (CPDV) They will all approach towards the prey; their face is like a burning wind. And they will gather captives together like sand.
9 (ROH) Každý prijde na ukrutnosť; smer ich tvárí bude napred, a nasbiera zajatých ako piesku.

10 (CPDV) And concerning kings, he will triumph, and sovereign rulers will be his laughingstock, and he will laugh over every fortress, and he will transport a rampart and seize it.
10 (ROH) Ten sa vysmeje kráľom, a kniežatá mu budú za posmech; on sa vysmeje každej pevnosti, lebo nasype prachu a zaujme ju.

11 (CPDV) Then his spirit will be altered, and he will cross over and fall. Such is his strength from his god.
11 (ROH) Vtedy prejde jako vietor, prekročí a previní sa; tá jeho sila bude jeho bohom.

12 (CPDV) Have you not existed from the beginning, Lord my God, my holy one, and so we shall not die? Lord, you have stationed him for judgment, and you have establish that his strength will be swept away.
12 (ROH) Či nie si ty od pradávna Hospodine, môj Bože, môj Svätý? Nezomrieme! Hospodine, postavil si ho na súd, a, Skalo, založil si ho trestať.

13 (CPDV) Your eyes are pure, you do not behold evil, and you cannot look towards iniquity. Why do you look upon the agents of iniquity, and remain silent, while the impious is devouring one who is more just than himself?
13 (ROH) Si pričistých očí, než aby si hľadel na zlé, a nemôžeš sa dívať na trápenie. Prečo sa dívaš na vierolomných? mlčíš, keď pohlcuje bezbožný toho, kto je spravedlivejší od neho?

14 (CPDV) And you will make men like the fish of the sea and like the creeping things that have no ruler.
14 (ROH) A učinil si ľudí jako ryby mora, jako plaz, ktorý nemá panovníka.

15 (CPDV) He lifted up everything with his hook. He drew them in with his dragnet, and gathered them into his netting. Over this, he will rejoice and exult.
15 (ROH) Všetko to vyťahuje na udici, tiahne to vo svojej sieti a sberá to do svojho vleku, preto sa raduje a plesá.

16 (CPDV) For this reason, he will offer victims to his dragnet, and he will sacrifice to his netting. For through them, his portion has been made fat, and his meals elite.
16 (ROH) Preto obetuje svojej sieti a kadí svojmu vleku, lebo od nich je mastný jeho podiel a tučný jeho pokrm.

17 (CPDV) Because of this, therefore, he expands his dragnet and will not be lenient in continually putting to death the peoples.
17 (ROH) Či azda pre to bude vyprázdňovať svoju sieť a bude ustavične vraždiť národy a nezľutuje sa?
