1 ଭବିଷ୍ଯଦ୍ବକ୍ତା ହବକୂକ୍ଙ୍କର ଶିଗିଯୋନତ୍ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା:
2 ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ମୁଁ ତୁମ୍ଭ ପ୍ରସିଦ୍ଧ ବିଷଯ ରେ ଶୁଣିଛି ଏବଂ ମୁଁ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ଭୟ ରେ ପରିପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ହାଇେଛି। ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ଅତୀତ ରେ ଯେଉଁସବୁ ଶକ୍ତିଶାଳୀ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କରିଛ, ସେଥି ରେ ମୁଁ ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ୟ୍ଯାନ୍ବିତ। ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ ମୁଁ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କରୁଛି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆମ୍ଭ ବିଷଯ ରେ ଅନକେ ବଡ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ କରିବ। ଆମ୍ଭ ସମୟରେ ଏହିସବୁ ଘଟୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଦୟାପୂର୍ବକ କର। ତୁମ୍ଭର ସହେି କୋରଧିତ ଅବସ୍ଥା ରେ ଆମ୍ଭପ୍ରତି ଦୟା କର।
3 ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତୈମନରୁ ଆସୁଛନ୍ତି। ସହେି ପବିତ୍ର ପୁରୁଷ ପାରଣ ପର୍ବତରୁ ଓହ୍ଲାଇ ଆସୁଛନ୍ତି। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ମହିମା ସ୍ବର୍ଗକୁ ଆବୃତ କରେ। ତାଙ୍କର ପ୍ରଶଂସା ପୃଥିବୀକୁ ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ କରେ।
4 ଆଲୋକରଶ୍ମି ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ହସ୍ତରୁ ଆସି ଉଜ୍ଜ୍ବଳ ଆଲୋକ ପ୍ରଦାନ କରେ। ତାଙ୍କର ଶକ୍ତି ସଠାେ ରେ ଲୁଚିଅଛି।
5 ରୋଗଗୁଡିକ ତାଙ୍କ ଆଗେ ଆଗେ ଚାଲିଲେ ଏବଂ ଧ୍ବଂସକାରୀ ଶକ୍ତି ତାଙ୍କୁ ଅନୁସରଣ କଲେ।
6 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଦଣ୍ତାଯମାନ ହେଲେ ଓ ପୃଥିବୀର ବିଗ୍ଭର କଲେ। ସେ ଦୃଷ୍ଟିଜାତ କରି ଗୋଷ୍ଠୀଗଣଙ୍କୁ ଭିନ୍ନଭିନ୍ନ କରି ତଡି ଦେଲେ। ଯେଉଁ ପର୍ବତଗୁଡିକ ବହୁବର୍ଷ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଛିଡା ହାଇେଥିଲେ ସଗେୁଡିକ ଧ୍ବଂସ ହେଲେ। ପୁରାତନ ପାହାଡଗୁଡିକର ମଧ୍ଯ ପତନ ହେଲା। କିନ୍ତୁ ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଅନନ୍ତକାଳସ୍ଥାଯୀ।
7 ମୁଁ ଦେଖିଲି କୂଶନର ନଗରଗୁଡିକ ଅସୁବିଧା ରେ ଥିଲେ। ମିଦିଯନର ଗୃହଗୁଡିକ ଭୟ ରେ ଥରିଲେ।
8 ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ କ'ଣ ନଦୀ, ଝରଣା, ସମୁଦ୍ର ଉପ ରେ କୋରଧାନ୍ବିତ ହାଇେଥିଲ? ସେଥିପାଇଁ କ'ଣ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଅଶ୍ବ ଏବଂ ରଥକୁ ଆରୋହଣ କଲ?
9 ତା'ପ ରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଧନୁ କାଢିଲ। ଶପଥ ପୂର୍ବକ ତୀରଗୁଡିକୁ ନିକ୍ଷପେ କଲ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପୃଥିବୀକୁ ନଦୀମାନଙ୍କ ଦ୍ବାରା ଭାଗ କଲ।
10 ପର୍ବତଗୁଡିକ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଦେଖି ଥରିଲେ। ପ୍ରଚଣ୍ତ ଜଳ ଭୂମିରେ ପ୍ରବାହିତ ହେଲା। ସମୁଦ୍ର ଭୟଙ୍କର ଗର୍ଜ୍ଜନ କଲା, ଢେଉଗୁଡିକ ଉପରକୁ ଉଠିଲା।
11 ସୂର୍ୟ୍ଯ ଚନ୍ଦ୍ର ତାଙ୍କର କକ୍ଷ ରେ ଛିଡା ହେଲେ। ଯେତବେେଳେ ସମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ବିଦ୍ଯୁତ୍ର ଉଜ୍ଜ୍ବଳ ଦେଖିଲେ ସମାନେେ ଆଲୋକ ଦବୋ ବନ୍ଦ କଲେ। ସହେି ବିଦ୍ଯୁତ୍ ପବନ ରେ ବର୍ଚ୍ଛା ଓ ତୀର ଗତି କଲାପରି କ୍ଷିପ୍ର ଥିଲା।
12 କୋର୍ଧ ରେ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପୃଥିବୀ ଉପ ରେ ଗ୍ଭଲିଲ ଏବଂ ଦେଶଗୁଡିକୁ ଦଣ୍ତ ଦଲେ।
13 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆପଣା ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ପରିତ୍ରାଣ କରିବକୁ ଆସିଲ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଆପଣା ମନୋନୀତ ରାଜାଙ୍କୁ ରକ୍ଷା କରିବାକୁ ଆସିଲ। ପ୍ରତି ମନ୍ଦ ଗୃହ ରେ ଥିବା ମୁଖ୍ଯଙ୍କୁ ହତ୍ଯା କଲ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତାକୁ ଆପାଦମସ୍ତକ ଗ୍ଭବୁକରେ ପ୍ରହାର କଲ।
14 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତା'ର ନିଜ ବର୍ଚ୍ଛା ରେ ତା'ର ମୁଣ୍ତକୁ ଗଣ୍ତିରୁ ଅଲଗା କଲ। ସହେି ସୈନ୍ଯମାନେ ଶକ୍ତିଶାଳୀ ଝଡ ଭଳି ଆମ୍ଭ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧ ରେ ଲଢିବାକୁ ଆସିଥିଲେ। ଗୋଟିଏ ଗରିବ ଲୋକକୁ ଗୋପନ ରେ ଲୁଣ୍ଠନ କଲାପରି ସମାନେେ କଲେ।
15 କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସହେି କାଦୁଅ ଓ ପ୍ରବଳ ଜଳଷୋର୍ତ ମଧ୍ଯଦଇେ ଘୋଡାକୁ ଝପଟାଇ ଦଲେ।
16 ମୁଁ ଯେତବେେଳେ ଏହି କଥା ଶୁଣିଲି ମାରେ ସମସ୍ତ ଶରୀର ଥରି ଉଠିଲା। ସହେି ଶଦ୍ଦ ରେ ମାେ ଓଷ୍ଠ ରେ କମ୍ପନ ହେଲା। ମାରେ ଅସ୍ଥିମଜ୍ଜା ରେ ମୁଁ ଦୁର୍ବଳ ହାଇେ ପଡିଲି। ମୁଁ ସହେି କମ୍ପନ ଅବସ୍ଥା ରେ ଥରିବାକୁ ଲାଗିଲି। ଯେତବେେଳେ ସମାନେେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆକ୍ରମଣ କରିବାକୁ ଆସିବେ, ମୁଁ ସହେି ଆକ୍ରମଣ ଓ ଧ୍ବଂସର ଦିନଗୁଡିକ ଆସିବା ପାଇଁ ର୍ଧୈୟ୍ଯ ଧରି ଅପେକ୍ଷା କରିବି।
17 ଡିମିରି ଗଛ ରେ ଡିମିରି ଫଳ ନପା ରେ, ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାଲତା ରେ ଅଙ୍ଗୁର ଫଳି ନପା ରେ, ଅଲିଭ ଗଛ ରେ ଅଲିଭ୍ ଉତ୍ପନ୍ନ ନ ହାଇପୋ ରେ, କ୍ଷତେ ରେ ଖାଦ୍ୟଶସ୍ଯ ନ ହାଇପୋ ରେ, ମେଣ୍ତାଶାଳ ରେ ମେଣ୍ତା ନରହି ପାରନ୍ତି ଓ ଶସ୍ଯଖଳା ରେ ଗୋରୁପଲ ନଥାଇ ପାରନ୍ତି।
18 କିନ୍ତୁ ମିଁ ତଥାପି ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କଠା ରେ ଆନନ୍ଦ କରିବି ଏବଂ ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କୁ ମାରେତ୍ରାଣକର୍ତ୍ତା ଭାବି ଖୁସି ହବେି।
19 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାରେ ପ୍ରଭୁ, ମାେତେ ଶକ୍ତି ଦିଅନ୍ତି, ମୁଁ ହରିଣ ପରି ଦ୍ରୁତଗତି ରେ ଦୌଡିବା ରେ ମାେତେ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ କରନ୍ତି। ସଙ୍ଗୀତ ନିର୍ଦ୍ଦେଶକ ପରି ମାରେସ୍ପନ୍ଦିତ ବାଦ୍ଯୟନ୍ତ୍ର ରେ ସେ ପର୍ବତ ଉପରକୁ ମାେତେ ନିରାପଦ ରେ ଆଗଇେ ନିଅନ୍ତି।
1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.
2 O Lord, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.
3 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
4 And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.
5 Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.
6 He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.
7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
8 Was the Lord displeased against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of salvation?
9 Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.
10 The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high.
11 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.
12 Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.
13 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, even for salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah.
14 Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.
15 Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, through the heap of great waters.
16 When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.
17 Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
19 The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.
1 And when Saul’s son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
2 And Saul’s son had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin:
3 And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners there until this day.)
4 And Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.
5 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, who lay on a bed at noon.
6 And they came thither into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him under the fifth rib: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
7 For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and gat them away through the plain all night.
8 And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, which sought thy life; and the Lord hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.
9 And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, As the Lord liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
10 When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, who thought that I would have given him a reward for his tidings:
11 How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?
12 And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
