עַד־אָ֧נָה יְהוָ֛ה שִׁוַּ֖עְתִּי וְלֹ֣א תִשְׁמָ֑ע
until when? YHWH (Some words not found in UHB: until when? YHWH call_for_help and=not listen cry_out to,you violence/cruelty and=not save )
Habakkuk is using the question form to express his frustration and lament to Yahweh. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [Yahweh, I have cried aloud for so long, but you will not listen!]

חָמָ֖ס
violence/cruelty
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of Violence, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [People are acting violently]
