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 watch and set myself on the ramparts, and will look out to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer concerning 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。
The LORD answered me, “Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he who runs may read 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 the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries towards the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it, because it will surely come. It won’t delay.
4 迦勒底人自高自大，心不正直； 惟义人因信得生。
Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith.
Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous: an arrogant man who doesn’t stay at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol; he is like death and can’t be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations and heaps to 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？
Won’t all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, ‘Woe to him who increases that which is not his, and who enriches himself by extortion! How long?’
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？
Won’t your debtors rise up suddenly, and wake up those who make you tremble, and you will be their victim?
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 nations, all the remnant of the peoples will plunder you because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell in it.
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 gets an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered 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 to your house by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against your soul.
11 墙里的石头必呼叫； 房内的栋梁必应声。
For the stone will cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the woodwork will answer it.
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 establishes 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？
Behold, isn’t it from the LORD of Armies that the peoples labour for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
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 will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD’s glory, 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 him who gives his neighbour drink, pouring your inflaming wine until they are drunk, so that you may gaze at their naked bodies!
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 shame, and not glory. You will also drink and be exposed! The cup of the LORD’s right hand will come 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。
For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of the animals will terrify you, because of men’s blood and for the violence done to the land, to every city and to those who dwell 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 value does the engraved image have, that its maker has engraved it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute 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 who says to the wood, ‘Awake!’ or to the mute stone, ‘Arise!’ Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and 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 the LORD is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him!”
