Versification differs between traditions. Columns are aligned by verse number; where a text has no such verse the cell is left blank rather than forced into line. Tap any word for a gloss.

⚠️ The Chinese and English alongside are the CUV and the WEB, both translated from the Masoretic Text; they follow a different textual tradition from the Greek and Latin shown here and will disagree in places.

A prayer of Habakkuk, the prophet, set to victorious music.
3:2
יְהֹוָ֗ה שָׁמַ֣עְתִּי שִׁמְעֲךָ֮ יָרֵ֒אתִי֒ יְהֹוָ֗ה פׇּֽעׇלְךָ֙ בְּקֶ֤רֶב שָׁנִים֙ חַיֵּ֔יהוּ בְּקֶ֥רֶב שָׁנִ֖ים תּוֹדִ֑יעַ בְּרֹ֖גֶז רַחֵ֥ם תִּזְכּֽוֹר׃
κύριε εἰσακήκοα τὴν ἀκοήν σου καὶ ἐφοβήθην κατενόησα τὰ ἔργα σου καὶ ἐξέστην ἐν μέσῳ δύο ζῴων γνωσθήσῃ ἐν τῷ ἐγγίζειν τὰ ἔτη ἐπιγνωσθήσῃ ἐν τῷ παρεῖναι τὸν καιρὸν ἀναδειχθήσῃ ἐν τῷ ταραχθῆναι τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐν ὀργῇ ἐλέους μνησθήσῃ
Domine, audivi auditionem tuam, et timui. Domine, opus tuum, in medio annorum vivifica illud ; in medio annorum notum facies : cum iratus fueris, misericordiae recordaberis.

Yahweh, I have heard of your fame. I stand in awe of your deeds, Yahweh. Renew your work in the middle of the years. In the middle of the years make it known. In wrath, you remember mercy.
3:3
אֱל֙וֹהַּ֙ מִתֵּימָ֣ן יָב֔וֹא וְקָד֥וֹשׁ מֵהַר־פָּארָ֖ן סֶ֑לָה כִּסָּ֤ה שָׁמַ֙יִם֙ הוֹד֔וֹ וּתְהִלָּת֖וֹ מָלְאָ֥ה הָאָֽרֶץ׃
ὁ θεὸς ἐκ Θαιμαν ἥξει καὶ ὁ ἅγιος ἐξ ὄρους κατασκίου δασέος διάψαλμα ἐκάλυψεν οὐρανοὺς ἡ ἀρετὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ αἰνέσεως αὐτοῦ πλήρης ἡ γῆ
Deus ab austro veniet, et Sanctus de monte Pharan : operuit caelos gloria ejus, et laudis ejus plena est terra.

God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and his praise filled the earth.

וְנֹ֙גַהּ֙ כָּא֣וֹר תִּֽהְיֶ֔ה קַרְנַ֥יִם מִיָּד֖וֹ ל֑וֹ וְשָׁ֖ם חֶבְי֥וֹן עֻזֹּֽה׃
καὶ φέγγος αὐτοῦ ὡς φῶς ἔσται κέρατα ἐν χερσὶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔθετο ἀγάπησιν κραταιὰν ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ
Splendor ejus ut lux erit, cornua in manibus ejus : ibi abscondita est fortitudo ejus.
ወፀዳሉኒ፡ ከመ፡ ብርሃን፡ ውእቱ፡ አቅርንት፡ ውስተ፡ እደዊሁ፡ ወረሰየ፡ ፍቁረ፡ በጽንዐ፡ ኃይሉ።
His splendor is like the sunrise. Rays shine from his hand, where his power is hidden.
3:5
לְפָנָ֖יו יֵ֣לֶךְ דָּ֑בֶר וְיֵצֵ֥א רֶ֖שֶׁף לְרַגְלָֽיו׃
πρὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ πορεύσεται λόγος καὶ ἐξελεύσεται ἐν πεδίλοις οἱ πόδες αὐτοῦ
Ante faciem ejus ibit mors, et egredietur diabolus ante pedes ejus.
ወየሐውር፡ ቃለ፡ ቅድመ፡ ገጹ፡ ወይወፅእ፡ ውስተ፡ ገዳም፡ እምድኅረ፡ እገሪሁ።
Plague went before him, and pestilence followed his feet.
3:6
עָמַ֣ד׀ וַיְמֹ֣דֶד אֶ֗רֶץ רָאָה֙ וַיַּתֵּ֣ר גּוֹיִ֔ם וַיִּתְפֹּֽצְצוּ֙ הַרְרֵי־עַ֔ד שַׁח֖וּ גִּבְע֣וֹת עוֹלָ֑ם הֲלִיכ֥וֹת עוֹלָ֖ם לֽוֹ׃
ἔστη καὶ ἐσαλεύθη ἡ γῆ ἐπέβλεψεν καὶ διετάκη ἔθνη διεθρύβη τὰ ὄρη βίᾳ ἐτάκησαν βουνοὶ αἰώνιοι
Stetit, et mensus est terram ; aspexit, et dissolvit gentes, et contriti sunt montes saeculi : incurvati sunt colles mundi ab itineribus aeternitatis ejus.
ወሶበ፡ ቀውም፡ ታደለቀልቅ፡ ምድር፡ ወሶበ፡ ይኔጽር፡ ይትመሰዉ፡ አህዛብ። ወይትቀጠቀዉ፡ አድባር፡ በኃይሉ፡ ወይትመሰዉ፡ አውግር፡ ዘእምዓለም፡ ወፍኖቶሂ፡ ርኢኩ፡ ዝምዓለም።
He stood, and shook the earth. He looked, and made the nations tremble. The ancient mountains were crumbled. The age-old hills collapsed. His ways are eternal.
3:7
תַּ֣חַת אָ֔וֶן רָאִ֖יתִי אׇהֳלֵ֣י כוּשָׁ֑ן יִרְגְּז֕וּן יְרִיע֖וֹת אֶ֥רֶץ מִדְיָֽן׃
πορείας αἰωνίας αὐτοῦ ἀντὶ κόπων εἶδον σκηνώματα Αἰθιόπων πτοηθήσονται καὶ αἱ σκηναὶ γῆς Μαδιαμ
Pro iniquitate vidi tentoria Aethiopiae ; turbabuntur pelles terrae Madian.

I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction. The dwellings of the land of Midian trembled.

הֲבִנְהָרִים֙ חָרָ֣ה יְהֹוָ֔ה אִ֤ם בַּנְּהָרִים֙ אַפֶּ֔ךָ אִם־בַּיָּ֖ם עֶבְרָתֶ֑ךָ כִּ֤י תִרְכַּב֙ עַל־סוּסֶ֔יךָ מַרְכְּבֹתֶ֖יךָ יְשׁוּעָֽה׃
μὴ ἐν ποταμοῖς ὠργίσθης κύριε ἢ ἐν ποταμοῖς ὁ θυμός σου ἢ ἐν θαλάσσῃ τὸ ὅρμημά σου ὅτι ἐπιβήσῃ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἵππους σου καὶ ἡ ἱππασία σου σωτηρία
Numquid in fluminibus iratus es, Domine ? aut in fluminibus furor tuus ? vel in mari indignatio tua ? Qui ascendes super equos tuos, et quadrigae tuae salvatio.
ኢትትመዐዕ፡ ላዕለ፡ አፍላግ፡ እግዚኦ፡ ወኢይኩን፡ መዐትከ፡ ላእለ፡ እፍላግ፡ ወኢመቅሠፍትከ፡ ዲበ፡ አፍራሲከ፡ ወአፍራሲከኒ፡ መድኃኒት፡ ውእቱ።
Was Yahweh displeased with the rivers? Was your anger against the rivers, or your wrath against the sea, that you rode on your horses, on your chariots of salvation?
3:9
עֶרְיָ֤ה תֵעוֹר֙ קַשְׁתֶּ֔ךָ שְׁבֻע֥וֹת מַטּ֖וֹת אֹ֣מֶר סֶ֑לָה נְהָר֖וֹת תְּבַקַּע־אָֽרֶץ׃
ἐντείνων ἐντενεῖς τὸ τόξον σου ἐπὶ τὰ σκῆπτρα λέγει κύριος διάψαλμα ποταμῶν ῥαγήσεται γῆ
Suscitans suscitabis arcum tuum, juramenta tribubus quae locutus es ; fluvios scindes terrae.
ወተርከ፡ ወወሰቀ፡ ቃስተከ፡ ዲበ፡ አብትር፡ ይቤ፡ እግዚአብሔር፡ ወይሠጥቅ፡ ምድረ፡ አፍላለግ።
You uncovered your bow. You called for your sworn arrows. Selah. You split the earth with rivers.

Viderunt te, et doluerunt montes ; gurges aquarum transiit : dedit abyssus vocem suam ; altitudo manus suas levavit.
ይሬእዩከ፡ ወይፄዐሩ፡ አሕዛብ፡ ዋይዘሮማይ፡ በውስተ፡ ፍኖት፡ ወወሀበት፡ ቀላይ፡ ቃለ፡ ወአልዐለት፡ ግርማሃ።
The mountains saw you, and were afraid. The storm of waters passed by. The deep roared and lifted up its hands on high.
3:11
שֶׁ֥מֶשׁ יָרֵ֖חַ עָ֣מַד זְבֻ֑לָה לְא֤וֹר חִצֶּ֙יךָ֙ יְהַלֵּ֔כוּ לְנֹ֖גַהּ בְּרַ֥ק חֲנִיתֶֽךָ׃
ἐπήρθη ὁ ἥλιος καὶ ἡ σελήνη ἔστη ἐν τῇ τάξει αὐτῆς εἰς φῶς βολίδες σου πορεύσονται εἰς φέγγος ἀστραπῆς ὅπλων σου
Sol et luna steterunt in habitaculo suo : in luce sagittarum tuarum ibunt, in splendore fulgurantis hastae tuae.

The sun and moon stood still in the sky at the light of your arrows as they went, at the shining of your glittering spear.
3:12
בְּזַ֖עַם תִּצְעַד־אָ֑רֶץ בְּאַ֖ף תָּד֥וּשׁ גּוֹיִֽם׃
ἐν ἀπειλῇ ὀλιγώσεις γῆν καὶ ἐν θυμῷ κατάξεις ἔθνη
In fremitu conculcabis terram ; in furore obstupefacies gentes.
በመዐትከ፡ ውሕደት፡ ምድር፡ ወታወረዶሙ፡ ለአሕዛብ፡ በመዐትከ።
You marched through the land in wrath. You threshed the nations in anger.
3:13

ἐξῆλθες εἰς σωτηρίαν λαοῦ σου τοῦ σῶσαι τοὺς χριστούς σου ἔβαλες εἰς κεφαλὰς ἀνόμων θάνατον ἐξήγειρας δεσμοὺς ἕως τραχήλου διάψαλμα
Egressus es in salutem populi tui, in salutem cum christo tuo : percussisti caput de domo impii, denudasti fundamentum ejus usque ad collum.

You went out for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of your anointed. You crushed the head of the land of wickedness. You stripped them head to foot. Selah.
3:14
נָקַ֤בְתָּ בְמַטָּיו֙ רֹ֣אשׁ פְּרָזָ֔ו יִסְעֲר֖וּ לַהֲפִיצֵ֑נִי עֲלִ֣יצֻתָ֔ם כְּמוֹ־לֶאֱכֹ֥ל עָנִ֖י בַּמִּסְתָּֽר׃
διέκοψας ἐν ἐκστάσει κεφαλὰς δυναστῶν σεισθήσονται ἐν αὐτῇ διανοίξουσιν χαλινοὺς αὐτῶν ὡς ἔσθων πτωχὸς λάθρᾳ
Maledixisti sceptris ejus, capiti bellatorum ejus, venientibus ut turbo ad dispergendum me : exsultatio eorum, sicut ejus qui devorat pauperem in abscondito.
ወመተር፡ አርእስተ፡ ኃያላን፡ በድንጋፄ፡ ወያደለቀልቁ፡ ባቲ፡ ወያርኃው፡ ልጓማቲሆሙ፡ ከመ፡ ዜበልዕ፡ ነዳ፡ በጽምሚት።
You pierced the heads of his warriors with their own spears. They came as a whirlwind to scatter me, gloating as if to devour the wretched in secret.
3:15
דָּרַ֥כְתָּ בַיָּ֖ם סוּסֶ֑יךָ חֹ֖מֶר מַ֥יִם רַבִּֽים׃
καὶ ἐπεβίβασας εἰς θάλασσαν τοὺς ἵππους σου ταράσσοντας ὕδωρ πολύ
Viam fecisti in mari equis tuis, in luto aquarum multarum.
ወተጽዕን፡ አፍራሲከ፡ በውስተ፡ ባሕር፡ ወየሀውኩ፡ ማየ፡ ብዙኀ።
You trampled the sea with your horses, churning mighty waters.
3:16
שָׁמַ֣עְתִּי׀ וַתִּרְגַּ֣ז בִּטְנִ֗י לְקוֹל֙ צָלְל֣וּ שְׂפָתַ֔י יָב֥וֹא רָקָ֛ב בַּעֲצָמַ֖י וְתַחְתַּ֣י אֶרְגָּ֑ז אֲשֶׁ֤ר אָנ֙וּחַ֙ לְי֣וֹם צָרָ֔ה לַעֲל֖וֹת לְעַ֥ם יְגוּדֶֽנּוּ׃
ἐφυλαξάμην καὶ ἐπτοήθη ἡ κοιλία μου ἀπὸ φωνῆς προσευχῆς χειλέων μου καὶ εἰσῆλθεν τρόμος εἰς τὰ ὀστᾶ μου καὶ ὑποκάτωθέν μου ἐταράχθη ἡ ἕξις μου ἀναπαύσομαι ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεως τοῦ ἀναβῆναι εἰς λαὸν παροικίας μου
Audivi, et conturbatus est venter meus ; a voce contremuerunt labia mea. Ingrediatur putredo in ossibus meis, et subter me scateat : ut requiescam in die tribulationis, ut ascendam ad populum accinctum nostrum.

I heard, and my body trembled. My lips quivered at the voice. Rottenness enters into my bones, and I tremble in my place because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, for the coming up of the people who invade us.
3:17
כִּֽי־תְאֵנָ֣ה לֹֽא־תִפְרָ֗ח וְאֵ֤ין יְבוּל֙ בַּגְּפָנִ֔ים כִּחֵשׁ֙ מַֽעֲשֵׂה־זַ֔יִת וּשְׁדֵמ֖וֹת לֹא־עָ֣שָׂה אֹ֑כֶל גָּזַ֤ר מִמִּכְלָה֙ צֹ֔אן וְאֵ֥ין בָּקָ֖ר בָּרְפָתִֽים׃
διότι συκῆ οὐ καρποφορήσει καὶ οὐκ ἔσται γενήματα ἐν ταῖς ἀμπέλοις ψεύσεται ἔργον ἐλαίας καὶ τὰ πεδία οὐ ποιήσει βρῶσιν ἐξέλιπον ἀπὸ βρώσεως πρόβατα καὶ οὐχ ὑπάρχουσιν βόες ἐπὶ φάτναις
Ficus enim non florebit, et non erit germen in vineis ; mentietur opus olivae, et arva non afferent cibum : abscindetur de ovili pecus, et non erit armentum in praesepibus.

For even though the fig tree doesn’t flourish, nor fruit be in the vines, the labor of the olive fails, the fields yield no food, the flocks are cut off from the fold, and there is no herd in the stalls,
3:18
וַאֲנִ֖י בַּיהֹוָ֣ה אֶעְל֑וֹזָה אָגִ֖ילָה בֵּאלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׁעִֽי׃
ἐγὼ δὲ ἐν τῷ κυρίῳ ἀγαλλιάσομαι χαρήσομαι ἐπὶ τῷ θεῷ τῷ σωτῆρί μου
Ego autem in Domino gaudebo ; et exsultabo in Deo Jesu meo.
ወንሰ፡ ብግዚአብሔር፡ እትፌሣሕ፡ ወእትኀሠይ፡ በአምላኪየ፡ ወመድኃንየ።
yet I will rejoice in Yahweh. I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!
3:19
יֱהֹוִ֤ה אֲדֹנָי֙ חֵילִ֔י וַיָּ֤שֶׂם רַגְלַי֙ כָּאַיָּל֔וֹת וְעַ֥ל בָּמוֹתַ֖י יַדְרִכֵ֑נִי לַמְנַצֵּ֖חַ בִּנְגִינוֹתָֽי׃
κύριος ὁ θεὸς δύναμίς μου καὶ τάξει τοὺς πόδας μου εἰς συντέλειαν ἐπὶ τὰ ὑψηλὰ ἐπιβιβᾷ με τοῦ νικῆσαι ἐν τῇ ᾠδῇ αὐτοῦ
Deus Dominus fortitudo mea, et ponet pedes meos quasi cervorum : et super excelsa mea deducet me victor in psalmis canentem.
እግዚአብሔር፡ አምላኪየ፡ ወኃይየ፡ ዘያቀውሞን፡ ለእገርየ፡ ለዝሎፋ፡ ወያዐርገኒ፡ ውስተ፡ መልዕልት፡ ካማ፡ እማእ፡ እማኃልይሁ።
Yahweh, the Lord, is my strength. He makes my feet like deer’s feet, and enables me to go in high places. For the music director, on my stringed instruments.
