Habakuku 2
1 Ndidzakhala pa malo anga aulonda, ndi kuyima pa mitumbira ya nkhondo; ndidzadikira kuti ndimve zimene Iye adzandiwuze, ndi yankho limene ndidzapatsidwe pa madandawulo anga.
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 Tsono Yehova anandiyankha, nati: “Lemba masomphenyawa ndipo uwalembe mooneka bwino pa mapale kuti wowerenga awawerenge mosavuta.
And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make [it] plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3 Pakuti masomphenyawa akudikira nthawi yake; masomphenyawa akunena zamʼtsogolo ndipo sizidzalephera kuchitika. Ngakhale achedwe kukwaniritsidwa, uwayembekezere; zidzachitika ndithu ndipo sadzachedwa.
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 “Taona, mdani wadzitukumula; zokhumba zake sizowongoka, koma wolungama adzakhala ndi moyo mwachikhulupiriro.
Behold, his soul [which] is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
5 Ndithu, wasokonezeka ndi vinyo; ndi wodzitama ndiponso wosakhazikika. Pakuti ngodzikonda ngati manda, ngosakhutitsidwa ngati imfa, wadzisonkhanitsira mitundu yonse ya anthu ndipo wagwira ukapolo anthu a mitundu yonse. (Sheol h7585)
Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, [he is] a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and [is] as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people: (Sheol h7585)
6 “Kodi onse ogwidwawo sadzamunyoza ndi kumunyogodola ponena kuti, “Tsoka kwa amene amadzikundikira katundu amene si wake ndipo amadzilemeretsa ndi chuma cholanda! Kodi izi zidzachitika mpaka liti?
Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth [that which is] not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!
7 Kodi angongole ako sadzakuwukira mwadzidzidzi? Kodi sadzadzuka ndi kukuchititsa mantha? Pamenepo iwe udzalandidwa kalikonse.
Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
8 Pakuti unafunkha mitundu yambiri ya anthu, mitundu ina imene inatsala idzakufunkha iweyo. Pakuti wakhetsa magazi a anthu; wawononga mayiko ndi mizinda ndi aliyense wokhala mʼmenemo.
Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men’s blood, and [for] the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
9 “Tsoka kwa amene amalemera ndi chuma chochipeza mwachinyengo, kukweza malo ake okhalapo, kuthawa mavuto!
Woe to him that coveteth 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 Wakonzekera kuwononga mitundu yambiri ya anthu, kuchititsa manyazi nyumba yako yomwe ndi kuwononga moyo wako.
Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned [against] thy soul.
11 Mwala pa khoma udzafuwula, ndipo mitanda ya matabwa idzavomereza zimenezi.
For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
12 “Tsoka kwa amene amanga mzinda pokhetsa magazi ndi kukhazikitsa mzinda pochita zoyipa!
Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!
13 Kodi Yehova Wamphamvuzonse sanatsimikize kuti ntchito za anthu zili ngati nkhuni pa moto, ndi kuti mitundu ya anthu imadzitopetsa popanda phindu?
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 Pakuti dziko lapansi lidzadzaza ndi chidziwitso cha ulemerero wa Yehova, monga momwe madzi amadzazira nyanja.
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
15 “Tsoka kwa amene amamwetsa anzake zakumwa zoledzeretsa, kutsanula mʼbotolo mpaka ataledzera, kuti aone umaliseche wawo.
Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to [him], and makest [him] drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
16 Udzachita manyazi mʼmalo mokhala ndi ulemerero. Tsopano ino ndi nthawi yako! Imwa mpaka umaliseche wako uwonekere! Chikho chochokera mʼdzanja lamanja la Yehova chikubwera kwa iwe, ndipo manyazi adzaphimba ulemerero wako.
Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD’s right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing [shall be] on thy glory.
17 Udzathedwa nzeru ndi chiwawa chimene unachita ku Lebanoni, ndiponso udzachita mantha ndi nyama zimene unaziwononga. Pakuti wakhetsa magazi a anthu; wawononga mayiko ndi mizinda ndi aliyense wokhala mʼmenemo.
For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, 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 “Kodi fano lili ndi phindu lanji, poti analisema ndi munthu, kapena chifanizo chimene chimaphunzitsa mabodza? Pakuti munthu amene walipanga amakhulupirira ntchito ya manja ake; amapanga mafano amene samatha kuyankhula.
What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
19 Tsoka kwa amene amawuza mtengo kuti, ‘Khala wamoyo!’ Kapena mwala wopanda moyo kuti, ‘Dzuka!’ Kodi zimenezi zingathe kulangiza? Ndi zokutidwa ndi golide ndi siliva; mʼkati mwake mulibe mpweya.
Woe unto him that saith 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 Koma Yehova ali mʼNyumba yake yopatulika; dziko lonse lapansi likhale chete pamaso pake.”
But the LORD [is] in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
