1 Pregxo de la profeto HXabakuk laux maniero de psalmoj.

2 Ho Eternulo, mi auxdis la sciigon pri Vi, kaj mi ektimis. Ho Eternulo, vivigu Vian faritajxon en la mezo de la jaroj, Montru en la mezo de la jaroj, Ke ecx en kolero Vi memoras pri kompato.

3 Dio venas de Teman, La Sanktulo de la monto Paran. Sela. Lia majesto kovras la cxielon, Kaj Lia gloro plenigas la teron.

4 Lia brilo estas kiel hela lumo, Radioj iras el Lia mano, Kaj tie estas kasxita Lia potenco.

5 Antaux Li iras pesto, Kaj fajro sekvas Liajn piedojn.

6 Li starigxis, kaj ekmezuris la teron; Li ekrigardis, kaj tremigis la naciojn; Dissaltis eternaj montoj, Klinigxis eternaj montetoj, Kiam Li ekpasxis kiel en la tempo antikva.

7 En mizera stato mi vidis la tendojn de Kusxan; Skuigxis la tapisxoj de la lando Midjan.

8 CXu kontraux riveroj koleris la Eternulo? CXu kontraux la riveroj Vi ekflamigxis, Aux cxu kontraux la maro estis Via indigno, Ke Vi ekrajdis sur Viaj cxevaloj, Ekveturis sur Viaj venkaj cxaroj?

9 Vi eltiris Vian pafarkon, Konforme al jxura promeso, kiun Vi donis al la triboj. Sela. Per riveroj Vi dividis la teron.

10 Ektremis la montoj, kiam ili Vin vidis; La fluo de la akvo pasis, La abismo ekbruis, La altajxo levis siajn manojn.

11 La suno kaj la luno haltis sur sia loko; Kun brilo iras Viaj sagoj, Kun fulmo Viaj lancoj.

12 Kun kolero Vi pasxas sur la tero, Kun indigno Vi piedpremas naciojn.

13 Vi elpasxis, por helpi al Via popolo, Por helpi al Via sanktoleito. Vi frakasas la supron de la domo de malpiulo, Nudigas la fundamenton gxis la kolo. Sela.

14 Vi trapikis per liaj lancoj la kapojn de liaj tacxmentestroj, Kiam ili sin jxetis ventege, por dispeli min kun gxojo, Kvazaux englutante mizerulon kasxe.

15 Vi pasxis kun Viaj cxevaloj tra la maro, Tra la sxlimo de granda akvo.

16 Mi auxdis, kaj mia interno ekskuigxis; Pro la bruo ektremis miaj lipoj, Putro venis en miajn ostojn, kaj la loko sub mi eksxanceligxis; Dume mi devas esti trankvila en la tago de malfelicxo, Kiam sur mian popolon iras gxia atakanto.

17 Kiam la figarbo ne floros, La vinberbrancxoj ne donos fruktojn, La olivarbo rifuzos sian laboron, La plugokampoj ne donos mangxajxon, La sxafoj estos forkaptitaj el la sxafejo, Kaj en la staloj ne trovigxos bovoj:

18 Ecx tiam mi gxojos pri la Eternulo, Mi estos gaja pri la Dio de mia savo.

19 La Eternulo, la Sinjoro, estas mia forto; Li faras miajn piedojn kiel cxe cervo, Kaj venigas min sur miajn altajxojn. Al Li, la Venkanto, iru miaj kantoj.

790. 'Waters' here and in what follows means falsities. This becomes clear from the places in the Word quoted in the preliminary section of this chapter 1 and from those at verse 6 of this chapter, where the flood or inundation of waters is the subject. In those places it was shown that 'inundations of waters' meant desolations and temptations, which entail the same thing as falsities, for desolations and temptations are nothing else than inundations of falsities that have been activated by evil spirits. The reason why such waters mean falsities is that generally 'waters' in the Word means that which is spiritual, that is, that which is intellectual, rational, and factual. And since waters mean these they also mean their opposites, for every falsity is a factual matter, and seemingly rational and intellectual since it is a matter belonging to thought.

[2] That 'waters' means spiritual things is clear from very many places in the Word. But that 'waters' also means falsities, let the passages that follow, in addition to those quoted already, serve to confirm the point. In Isaiah,

This people have refused the waters of Shiloah that go out gently. Therefore, behold the Lord is causing to rise up over them the waters of the river, mighty and many. And it will rise up over all its channels and go over all its banks. Isaiah 8:6-7.

Here 'waters that go out gently' stands for spiritual things, 'waters mighty and many' for falsities. In the same prophet,

Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Cush, sending ambassadors to the sea, and in vessels of papyrus over the face' of the waters! Go, you swift ambassadors, to a nation marked out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled. Isaiah 18:1-2.

This stands for falsities, which belong to 'the land shadowing with wings'.

[3] In the same prophet,

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. Isaiah 43:2.

'Waters' and 'rivers' stand for difficulties, and also for falsities. In Jeremiah,

What have you to do with the way to Egypt, to drink the waters of Shihor? And what have you to do with the way to Asshur, to drink the waters of the River? Jeremiah 2:18.

'Waters' stands for falsities arising out of reasonings. In the same prophet,

Who is this coming up like a river, like the rivers his waters are tossed about? Egypt comes up like the river, and like the rivers his waters are tossed about. And he said, I will go up, I will cover the earth, I will destroy the city and those who dwell in it. Jeremiah 46:7-8.

'Waters' stands for falsities arising out of reasonings.

[4] In Ezekiel,

Thus said the Lord Jehovah, When I make you a city laid waste, like the cities that are not inhabited, when I shall cause the deep to come up over you, and many waters have covered you, I will cause you to go down with those who go down into the Pit. Ezekiel 16:19, 20.

'Waters' stands for evils and derivative falsities. In Habakkuk,

You did trample the sea with Your horses, the mud of many waters. Habakkuk 3:15.

'Waters' stands for falsities. In John,

The dragon poured water like a stream out of his mouth after the woman, to swallow her up in the river. Revelation 11:15, 16.

Here 'waters' stands for falsities and lies. In David,

Send forth Your hands from on high, rescue me, and deliver me from the many waters, from the hands of sons of the foreigner, whose mouths speak lies, and whose right hands are right hands of falsity. Psalms 144:7-8.

Here 'many waters' clearly stands for falsities, and 'sons of the foreigner also means falsities.
