Habakkuk 1	Habacuc 1
Habakkuk 1:1 The word which Habakkuk the prophet saw.	Habacuc 1:1 Oracle révélé à Habakuk, le prophète.
Habakkuk 1:2 How long, O Lord, will your ears be shut to my voice? I make an outcry to you about violent behaviour, but you do not send salvation.	Habacuc 1:2 Jusqu`à quand, ô Éternel?... J`ai crié, Et tu n`écoutes pas! J`ai crié vers toi à la violence, Et tu ne secours pas!
Habakkuk 1:3 Why do you make me see evil-doing, and why are my eyes fixed on wrong? for wasting and violent acts are before me: and there is fighting and bitter argument.	Habacuc 1:3 Pourquoi me fais-tu voir l`iniquité, Et contemples-tu l`injustice? Pourquoi l`oppression et la violence sont-elles devant moi? Il y a des querelles, et la discorde s`élève.
Habakkuk 1:4 For this reason the law is feeble and decisions are not effected: for the upright man is circled round by evil-doers; because of which right is twisted.	Habacuc 1:4 Aussi la loi n`a point de vie, La justice n`a point de force; Car le méchant triomphe du juste, Et l`on rend des jugements iniques.
Habakkuk 1:5 See among the nations, and take note, and be full of wonder: for in your days I am doing a work in which you will have no belief, even if news of it is given to you.	Habacuc 1:5 Jetez les yeux parmi les nations, regardez, Et soyez saisis d`étonnement, d`épouvante! Car je vais faire en vos jours une oeuvre, Que vous ne croiriez pas si on la racontait.
Habakkuk 1:6 For see, I am sending the Chaldaeans, that bitter and quick-moving nation; who go through the wide spaces of the earth to get for themselves living-places which are not theirs.	Habacuc 1:6 Voici, je vais susciter les Chaldéens, Peuple furibond et impétueux, Qui traverse de vastes étendues de pays, Pour s`emparer de demeures qui ne sont pas à lui.
Habakkuk 1:7 They are greatly to be feared: their right comes from themselves.	Habacuc 1:7 Il est terrible et formidable; De lui seul viennent son droit et sa grandeur.
Habakkuk 1:8 And their horses are quicker than leopards and their horsemen more cruel than evening wolves; they come from far away, like an eagle in flight rushing on its food.	Habacuc 1:8 Ses chevaux sont plus rapides que les léopards, Plus agiles que les loups du soir, Et ses cavaliers s`avancent avec orgueil; Ses cavaliers arrivent de loin, Ils volent comme l`aigle qui fond sur sa proie.
Habakkuk 1:9 They are coming all of them with force; the direction of their faces is forward, the number of their prisoners is like the sands of the sea.	Habacuc 1:9 Tout ce peuple vient pour se livrer au pillage; Ses regards avides se portent en avant, Et il assemble des prisonniers comme du sable.
Habakkuk 1:10 He makes little of kings, rulers are a sport to him; all the strong places are to be laughed at; for he makes earthworks and takes them.	Habacuc 1:10 Il se moque des rois, Et les princes font l`objet de ses railleries; Il se rit de toutes les forteresses, Il amoncelle de la terre, et il les prend.
Habakkuk 1:11 Then his purpose will be changed, over-stepping the limit; he will make his strength his god.	Habacuc 1:11 Alors son ardeur redouble, Il poursuit sa marche, et il se rend coupable. Sa force à lui, voilà son dieu!
Habakkuk 1:12 Are you not eternal, O Lord my God, my Holy One? for you there is no death. O Lord, he has been ordered by you for our punishment; and by you, O Rock, he has been marked out to put us right.	Habacuc 1:12 N`es-tu pas de toute éternité, Éternel, mon Dieu, mon Saint? Nous ne mourrons pas! O Éternel, tu as établi ce peuple pour exercer tes jugements; O mon rocher, tu l`as suscité pour infliger tes châtiments.
Habakkuk 1:13 Before your holy eyes sin may not be seen, and you are unable to put up with wrong; why, then, are your eyes on the false? why do you say nothing when the evil-doer puts an end to one who is more upright than himself?	Habacuc 1:13 Tes yeux sont trop purs pour voir le mal, Et tu ne peux pas regarder l`iniquité. Pourquoi regarderais-tu les perfides, et te tairais-tu, Quand le méchant dévore celui qui est plus juste que lui?
Habakkuk 1:14 He has made men like the fishes of the sea, like the worms which have no ruler over them.	Habacuc 1:14 Traiterais-tu l`homme comme les poissons de la mer, Comme le reptile qui n`a point de maître?
Habakkuk 1:15 He takes them all up with his hook, he takes them in his net, getting them together in his fishing-net: for which cause he is glad and full of joy.	Habacuc 1:15 Il les fait tous monter avec l`hameçon, Il les attire dans son filet, Il les assemble dans ses rets: Aussi est-il dans la joie et dans l`allégresse.
Habakkuk 1:16 For this reason he makes an offering to his net, burning perfume to his fishing-net; because by them he gets much food and his meat is fat.	Habacuc 1:16 C`est pourquoi il sacrifie à son filet, Il offre de l`encens à ses rets; Car par eux sa portion est grasse, Et sa nourriture succulente.
Habakkuk 1:17 For this cause his net is ever open, and there is no end to his destruction of the nations.	Habacuc 1:17 Videra-t-il pour cela son filet, Et toujours égorgera-t-il sans pitié les nations?
