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 upon my watch, and fix my foot upon the tower: and I will watch, to see what will be said to me, and what I may answer to him that reproveth me.
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 answered me, and said: Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables: that he that readeth it may run over 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 shall appear at the end, and shall not lie: if it make any delay, wait for it: for it shall surely come, and it shall not be slack.
4 迦勒底人自高自大，心不正直； 惟义人因信得生。
Behold, he that is unbelieving, his soul shall not be right in himself: but the just shall live in his faith.
And as wine deceiveth him that drinketh it: so shall the proud man be, and he shall not be honoured: who hath enlarged his desire like hell: and is himself like death, and he is never satisfied: but will gather together unto him all nations, and heap together unto him all people. (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 a dark speech concerning him: and it shall be said: Woe to him that heapeth together that which is not his own? how long also doth he load himself with thick clay?
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 rise up suddenly that shall bite thee: and they be stirred up that shall tear thee, and thou shalt be a spoil to 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 thou hast spoiled many nations, all that shall be left of the people shall spoil thee: because of men’s blood, and for the iniquity of the land, of the city, and of all that 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 that gathereth together an evil covetousness to his house, that his nest may be on high, and thinketh he may be delivered out of 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。
Thou hast devised confusion to thy house, thou hast cut off many people, and thy soul hath sinned.
11 墙里的石头必呼叫； 房内的栋梁必应声。
For the stone shall cry out of the wall: and the timber that is between the joints of the building, shall answer.
12 以人血建城、 以罪孽立邑的有祸了！
Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and prepareth 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 from the Lord of hosts? for the people shall labour in a great fire: and the nations in vain, and they shall faint.
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 men may know the glory of the Lord, as waters covering 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 him that giveth drink to his friend, and presenteth his gall, and maketh him drunk, that he may behold his 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。
Thou art filled with shame instead of glory: drink thou also, and fall fast asleep: the cup of the right hand of the Lord shall compass thee, and shameful vomiting shall be on thy 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 Libanus shall cover thee, and the ravaging of beasts shall terrify them because of the blood of men, and the iniquity of the land, and of the city, and of all that 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？
What doth the graven thing avail, because the maker thereof hath graven it, a molten, and a false image? because the forger thereof hath trusted in a thing of his own forging, to make dumb idols.
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 that saith to wood: Awake: to the dumb stone: Arise: can it teach? Behold, it is laid over with gold, and silver, and there is no spirit in the bowels thereof.
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: let all the earth keep silence before him.
