哈巴谷书 2
1 我要站在守望所， 立在望楼上观看， 看耶和华对我说什么话， 我可用什么话向他诉冤。
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 他对我说：将这默示明明地写在版上， 使读的人容易读。
And the Lord responded to me and said: Write the vision and explain it on tablets, so that he who reads it may run through it.
3 因为这默示有一定的日期， 快要应验，并不虚谎。 虽然迟延，还要等候； 因为必然临到，不再迟延。
For as yet the vision is far off, and it will appear in the end, and it will not lie. If it expresses any delay, wait for it. For it is arriving and it will arrive, and it will not be hindered.
4 迦勒底人自高自大，心不正直； 惟义人因信得生。
Behold, he who is unbelieving, his soul will not be right within himself; but he who is just shall live in his faith.
And in the manner that wine deceives the heavy drinker, so will the arrogant man be deceived, and he will not be honored. He has enlarged his life like hellfire, and himself like death, and he is never fulfilled. And he will gather to himself all nations, and he will amass for himself all peoples. (Sheol h7585)
6 这些国的民岂不都要提起诗歌并俗语讥刺他说： 祸哉！迦勒底人，你增添不属自己的财物， 多多取人的当头，要到几时为止呢？
Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and an enigmatic utterance about him? And it will be said, “Woe to him who increases what is not his own.” How long, then, will he lay down dense clay against himself?
7 咬伤你的岂不忽然起来， 扰害你的岂不兴起， 你就作他们的掳物吗？
Shall they not suddenly rise up, who would bite you, and be stirred up, who would tear you, so that you will be a prey for them?
8 因你抢夺许多的国，杀人流血， 向国内的城并城中一切居民施行强暴， 所以各国剩下的民都必抢夺你。
Because you have despoiled many peoples, all those who are left of the people shall despoil you, because of the blood of men, and the iniquity of the earth, of the city and all who dwell therein.
9 为本家积蓄不义之财、 在高处搭窝、指望免灾的有祸了！
Woe to him who gathers together an evil greed for his house, so that his nest may be exalted, and thinking that he might free himself from the hand of evil.
10 你图谋剪除多国的民，犯了罪， 使你的家蒙羞，自害己命。
You have devised confusion for your house, you have cut to pieces many peoples, and your soul has sinned.
11 墙里的石头必呼叫； 房内的栋梁必应声。
For the stone will cry out from the wall, and the wood that is between the joints of the building will respond.
12 以人血建城、 以罪孽立邑的有祸了！
Woe to him who builds a town with blood and prepares a city by iniquity.
13 众民所劳碌得来的被火焚烧， 列国由劳乏而得的归于虚空， 不都是出于万军之耶和华吗？
Are not these things before the Lord of hosts? For the people will labor amid a great fire, and the nations will labor in emptiness, and they will fail.
14 认识耶和华荣耀的知识要充满遍地， 好像水充满洋海一般。
For the earth shall be filled, that they might know the glory of the Lord, like the waters spreading over the sea.
15 给人酒喝、又加上毒物、 使他喝醉、好看见他下体的有祸了！
Woe to anyone who gives a drink to a friend, releasing a drug and inebriating, so as to look upon their nakedness.
16 你满受羞辱，不得荣耀； 你也喝吧，显出是未受割礼的！ 耶和华右手的杯必传到你那里； 你的荣耀就变为大大地羞辱。
You are filled with disgrace in place of glory. So then, drink and fall fast asleep, for the cup of the right hand of the Lord will surround you, and a disgraceful vomit will cover your glory.
17 你向黎巴嫩行强暴与残害 惊吓野兽的事必遮盖你； 因你杀人流血， 向国内的城并城中一切居民施行强暴。
For the iniquity of Lebanon will cover you, and the devastation of animals which will deter them from the blood of men, and the iniquity of the earth and the city, and of all who dwell therein.
18 雕刻的偶像，人将它刻出来， 有什么益处呢？ 铸造的偶像就是虚谎的师傅。 制造者倚靠这哑巴偶像有什么益处呢？
Of what benefit is the graven image? For its maker has formed it, a molten and imaginary deception. For its maker has hoped in a figment of his own creation, so as to make a dumb likeness.
19 对木偶说：醒起！ 对哑巴石像说：起来！那人有祸了！ 这个还能教训人吗？ 看哪，是包裹金银的，其中毫无气息。
Woe to him who says to wood, “Awaken,” to the silent stone, “Arise.” Is it able to teach? Behold, it has been entirely covered with gold and silver; and there is no spirit at all in its inner workings.
20 惟耶和华在他的圣殿中； 全地的人都当在他面前肃敬静默。
But the Lord is in his holy temple. May all the earth be silent before his face.
