Habakkuk 2
1 Ka tuemkoi dongah ka cak vetih vongup soah khaw ka pai ni. Te vaengah kai taengah metla a thui khaw hmuh ham neh kai kah toelthamnah soah metla thuung ham ka dawn ni.
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 Tedae BOEIPA loh kai n'doo tih, “Mangthui he daek lamtah cabael dongah thuicaih laeh. Te daengah ni aka tae loh te te a yong puei eh.
And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that reads it.
3 Mangthui he tingtunnah ham pueng oe akhaw a bawtnah te thoeng. Uelh cakhaw a laithae mahpawh. Amah te rhing lah ha pawk rhoe ha pawk bitni, uelh mahpawh.
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 Calak he a khui ah a hinglu a dueng moenih ne. Tedae aka dueng tah a uepomnah neh hing.
Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
5 Misurtui dongah khaw hlang hnukpoh. Moemlal khaw a uem uh moenih. Anih te saelkhui bangla a hinglu ka tih amah khaw dueknah bangla hah tlaih pawh. Te dongah namtom boeih te amah hamla a kol tih pilnam boeih te amah hamla a coi. (Sheol h7585)
Yea also, because he trangresses by wine, he is a proud man, neither keeps at home, who enlarges his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathers unto him all nations, and heaps unto him all people: (Sheol h7585)
6 Amih boeih he amah taengkah moenih a? neh anih te nuettahnah olkael a phueih uh bitni. Te vaengah, “Anunae, amah kah pawt neh me hil nim a kum vetih amah hamla amthah a ludoeng ve,” a ti ni.
Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increases that which is not his! how long? and to him that loads himself with thick clay!
7 Nang aka tuk rhoek te buengrhuet thoo tih n'haeng vaengah nang n'tonga sak vetih amih kah maehbuem la na om mahpawt nim?
Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite you, and awake that shall vex you, and you shall be for booties unto them?
8 Namah loh namtom muep na buem dongah khaw, hlang thii phu dongah khaw, khohmuen khorha neh nang n'ngaeh a khui khosa boeih kah kuthlahnah dongah khaw pilnam aka coih boeih loh nang n'buem uh ni.
Because you have spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil you; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
9 Anunae a im hamla aka thae mueluemnah neh aka mueluem tih yoethae kut lamloh huul uh hamla hmuensang ah a bu aka khueh aih.
Woe to him that covers 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 Na imkhui kah yahpohnah te na taeng tih pilnam muep na kuet dongah na hinglu tah tholh coeng.
You have consulted shame to your house by cutting off many people, and have sinned against your soul.
11 Te dongah pangbueng lamloh lungto te pang vetih thing dong lamkah yael loh a doo ni.
For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
12 Anunae, thii neh kho aka thoong tih dumlai neh khorha aka saelh aih.
Woe to him that builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!
13 Te te caempuei BOEIPA taeng lamkah moenih a te? Pilnam a kohnue he hmai hamla rhoeh coeng. Namtu loh a poeyoek la a tawnba te rhoeh coeng.
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 Tui loh tuitunli soah a khuk bangla BOEIPA kah thangpomnah aka ming te diklai ah bae ni.
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
15 Anunae, kosi na poem te a hui aka tul tih amih a tlingyal te paelki hamla aka rhuihmil sak.
Woe unto him that gives his neighbour drink, that put your bottle to him, and make him drunken also, that you may look on their nakedness!
16 Thangpomnah lamloh yahpohnah na hah bitni. Namah khaw o lamtah hli vaikhai. BOEIPA bantang kah boengloeng namah taengah m'vael vetih nang kah thangpomnah soah yahrhai na poh bitni.
You are filled with shame for glory: drink you also, and let your foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD's right hand shall be turned unto you, and shameful spewing shall be on your glory.
17 Hlang thii long tih khohmuen khorha neh a khuikah khosa boeih sokah kuthlahnah dongah Lebanon kah kuthlahnah loh nang n'khuk vetih rhamsa kah rhoelrhanah loh n'rhihyawp sak ni.
For the violence of Lebanon shall cover you, 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 Mueithuk he balae a hoeikhang? Te te a saek mueihlawn khaw a picai mai. Tedae amah kah benbonah a hlinsai te a pangtung dongah ni mueirhol olmueh saii hamla ni a khuiah a honghi a thuinuet.
What profits the graven image that the maker thereof has graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusts therein, to make dumb idols?
19 Anunae thing taengah 'Haenghang laeh'ngolsut lungto taengah 'Haenghang laeh' aka ti nah aih. Te loh n'thuinuet tang aya te? Te te sui neh cak la a boh thil. Tedae hil pakhat khaw a khui ah a om moenih ta.
Woe unto him that says 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 BOEIPA tah a hmuencim bawkim ah om. Saah lah, diklai pum he a mikhmuh ah om.
But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
