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 at my guard post and station myself on the watchtower, and I will watch carefully to see what he will say to me and how I should turn from my complaint.
2 他对我说：将这默示明明地写在版上， 使读的人容易读。
Yahweh answered me and said, “Record this vision, and write plainly on the tablets so that the one reading them might run.
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 the vision is yet for a future time and will finally speak and not fail. Though it delays, wait for it. For it will surely come and will not tarry.
4 迦勒底人自高自大，心不正直； 惟义人因信得生。
Look! The one whose desires are not right within him is puffed up. But the righteous will live by his faith.
For wine is a betrayer of the arrogant young man so that he will not abide, but enlarges his desire like the grave and, like death, is never satisfied. He gathers to himself every nation and gathers up for himself all of the 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？
Will not all these create a saying to ridicule him and a taunting song about him, saying, 'Woe to the one increasing what is not his! For how long will you increase the weight of the pledges you have taken?'
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？
Will the ones biting at you not rise up suddenly, and the ones terrifying you awaken? You will become a victim 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 plundered many peoples, all the remnant of the peoples will plunder you. For you have shed human blood and acted with violence against the land, the cities, and all who live in them.
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 the one who carves out evil gains for his house, so he can set his nest on high to keep himself safe 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 shame for your house by cutting off many people, and have sinned against yourself.
11 墙里的石头必呼叫； 房内的栋梁必应声。
For the stones will cry out from the wall, and the rafters of timber will answer them,
12 以人血建城、 以罪孽立邑的有祸了！
'Woe to the one who builds a city with blood, and who establishes a town in 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？
Is it not from Yahweh of hosts that peoples labor for fire and all the other nations weary themselves for nothing?
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。
Yet the land will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Yahweh as the waters cover 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 the one who forces his neighbors to drink— you express your anger over and you make them drunk in order to look at 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 will be filled with shame instead of glory. Now it is your turn! Drink, and you will expose your uncircumcised foreskin! The cup in Yahweh's right hand is coming around to you, and disgrace 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。
The violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you and the destruction of animals will terrify you. For you have shed human blood and you have acted with violence against the land, the cities, and all who live in them.
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 does the carved figure profit you? For the one who has carved it, or who casts a figure from molten metal, is a teacher of lies; for he trusts his own handiwork when he makes these mute gods.
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 the one saying to the wood, Wake up! Or to the silent stone, Arise!' Do these things teach? See, it is overlaid with gold and silver, but there is no breath at all within it.
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 Yahweh is in his holy temple! Be silent before him, all the land.”
