Kniha proroka Habakuka

1 (VUL) Super custodiam meam stabo et consistam super speculam et contemplabor, ut videam quid dicat mihi et quid respondeat ad querelam meam.
1 (UKJV) I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

2 (VUL) Et respondit mihi Dominus et dixit: “ Scribe visum et explana eum super tabulas, ut percurrat, qui legerit eum.
2 (UKJV) And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that reads it.

3 (VUL) Quia adhuc visus ad tempus constitutum, sed anhelat in finem et non mentietur; si moram fecerit, exspecta illum, quia veniens veniet et non tardabit.
3 (UKJV) "For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. "

4 (VUL) Ecce languidus, in quo non est anima recta; iustus autem in fide sua vivet ”.
4 (UKJV) Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

5 (VUL) Et profecto divitiae decipiunt virum superbum, et non perveniet ad finem; qui dilatat quasi infernus fauces suas et ipse quasi mors et non adimpletur: et congregat ad se omnes gentes et coacervat ad se omnes populos.
5 (UKJV) Yea also, because he trangresses by wine, he is a proud man, neither keeps at home, who enlarges his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathers unto him all nations, and heaps unto him all people:

6 (VUL) Numquid non omnes isti super eum parabolam sument et loquelam aenigmatum dicentes: “ Vae ei, qui multiplicat non sua — usquequo? C et aggravat pignora super se! ”.
6 (UKJV) Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increases that which is not his! how long? and to him that loads himself with thick clay!

7 (VUL) Numquid non repente consurgent, qui mordeant te, et evigilabunt agitantes te, et eris in rapinam eis?
7 (UKJV) Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite you, and awake that shall vex you, and you shall be for booties unto them?

8 (VUL) Quia tu spoliasti gentes multas, spoliabunt te omnes, qui reliqui fuerint de populis; propter sanguinem hominum et oppressionem terrae, civitatum et omnium habitantium in eis.
8 (UKJV) "Because you have spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil you; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein. "

9 (VUL) Vae, qui congregat lucrum iniustum in malum domui suae, ut ponat in excelso nidum suum et salvet se de manu mali!
9 (UKJV) Woe to him that covers an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!

10 (VUL) Consilium cepisti in confusionem domui tuae concidendi populos multos et peccasti in animam tuam.
10 (UKJV) You have consulted shame to your house by cutting off many people, and have sinned against your soul.

11 (VUL) Quia lapis de pariete clamabit, et trabes de contignatione respondebit ei.
11 (UKJV) For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.

12 (VUL) Vae, qui aedificat civitatem in sanguinibus et condit urbem in iniquitate!
12 (UKJV) Woe to him that builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!

13 (VUL) Numquid non haec a Domino sunt exercituum, ut laborent populi pro igne, et gentes in vacuum fatigentur?
13 (UKJV) Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?

14 (VUL) Quia replebitur terra cognitione gloriae Domini, sicut aquae operiunt mare.
14 (UKJV) For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

15 (VUL) Vae, qui potum dat amico suo mittens venenum suum et inebrians eum, ut aspiciat nuditatem eius!
15 (UKJV) Woe unto him that gives his neighbour drink, that put your bottle to him, and make him drunken also, that you may look on their nakedness!

16 (VUL) Repleris ignominia pro gloria; bibe tu quoque et denudare! Transibit ad te calix dexterae Domini, et veniet ignominia super gloriam tuam.
16 (UKJV) You are filled with shame for glory: drink you also, and let your foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD's right hand shall be turned unto you, and shameful spewing shall be on your glory.

17 (VUL) Quia vastitas Libani operiet te, et miseria animalium deterrebit te propter sanguinem hominum et oppressionem terrae, civitatum et omnium habitantium in eis.
17 (UKJV) For the violence of Lebanon shall cover you, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.

18 (VUL) Quid prodest sculptile, quia sculpsit illud fictor suus; conflatile et oraculum mendax, quia speravit in figmento fictor eius, ut faceret simulacra muta?
18 (UKJV) "What profits the graven image that the maker thereof has graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusts therein, to make dumb idols? "

19 (VUL) Vae, qui dicit ligno: “ Expergiscere! ”, “ Surge! ” lapidi tacenti! Numquid ipse docere poterit? Ecce iste coopertus est auro et argento, et omnis spiritus non est in visceribus eius.
19 (UKJV) "Woe unto him that says to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it. "

20 (VUL) Dominus autem in templo sancto suo; sileat a facie eius omnis terra.
20 (UKJV) But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
