Habbukkuk 1: 2-2:4

1:2	Gaano katagal, O Panginoon, iiyak ba ako, at hindi mo papansinin? Sisigawan ba kita habang dumaranas ng karahasan, at hindi ka magliligtas?
1:3	Bakit mo inihayag sa akin ang kasamaan at kahirapan, upang makita ang pandarambong at kawalan ng katarungan sa tapat ko? At nagkaroon ng paghatol, pero mas makapangyarihan ang oposisyon.
1:4	Dahil dito, the law has been torn apart, and judgment does not persevere to its conclusion. For the impious prevail against the just. Dahil dito, a perverse judgment is issued.
1:5	Gaze among the nations, at makita. Admire, and be astounded. For a work has been done in your days, which no one will believe when it is told.
1:6	Para masdan, I will raise up the Chaldeans, a bitter and swift people, marching across the width of the earth, to possess tabernacles not their own.
1:7	It is dreadful and terrible. From themselves, judgment and their burden will issue.
1:8	Their horses are more nimble than leopards and swifter than wolves in the evening; their horsemen will spread out. And then their horsemen will approach from far away; they will fly like the eagle, hurrying to devour.
1:9	They will all approach towards the prey; their face is like a burning wind. And they will gather captives together like sand.
1:10	And concerning kings, he will triumph, and sovereign rulers will be his laughingstock, and he will laugh over every fortress, and he will transport a rampart and seize it.
1:11	Then his spirit will be altered, and he will cross over and fall. Such is his strength from his god.
1:12	Have you not existed from the beginning, Lord my God, my holy one, and so we shall not die? Panginoon, you have stationed him for judgment, and you have establish that his strength will be swept away.
1:13	Your eyes are pure, you do not behold evil, and you cannot look towards iniquity. Why do you look upon the agents of iniquity, and remain silent, while the impious is devouring one who is more just than himself?
1:14	And you will make men like the fish of the sea and like the creeping things that have no ruler.
1:15	He lifted up everything with his hook. He drew them in with his dragnet, and gathered them into his netting. Over this, he will rejoice and exult.
1:16	Dahil dito, he will offer victims to his dragnet, and he will sacrifice to his netting. For through them, his portion has been made fat, and his meals elite.
1:17	Dahil dito, samakatuwid, he expands his dragnet and will not be lenient in continually putting to death the peoples.

Habakuk 2

2:1	I will stand firm during my watch, and fix my position over the fortification. And I will observe carefully, to see what might be said to me and what I might respond to my opponent.
2:2	At ang Panginoon ay tumugon sa akin at sinabi: Isulat ang pangitain at ipaliwanag ito sa mga tablet, upang ang nagbabasa nito ay makasagasa.
2:3	Sapagkat ang pangitain ay malayo pa, at ito ay lilitaw sa dulo, at hindi ito magsisinungaling. Kung ito ay nagpapahayag ng anumang pagkaantala, hintayin mo. Dahil ito ay darating at ito ay darating, at hindi ito hahadlang.
2:4	Masdan, siya na hindi naniniwala, ang kanyang kaluluwa ay hindi magiging tama sa kanyang sarili; ngunit ang matuwid ay mabubuhay sa kanyang pananampalataya.

Mateo 17: 14-20

17:14 And when he had arrived at the multitude, a man approached him, falling to his knees before him, kasabihan: “Panginoon, take pity on my son, for he is an epileptic, and he suffers harm. For he frequently falls into fire, and often also into water.

17:15 And I brought him to your disciples, but they were not able to cure him.”

17:16 Then Jesus responded by saying: “What an unbelieving and perverse generation! How long shall I be with you? How long shall I endure you? Bring him here to me.”

17:17 At sinaway siya ni Jesus, and the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.

17:18 Then the disciples approached Jesus privately and said, “Why were we unable to cast him out?”

17:19 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila: “Because of your unbelief. Amen sinasabi ko sa iyo, tiyak, if you will have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it shall move. And nothing will be impossible for you.

17:20 But this kind is not cast out, except through prayer and fasting.”
