Habakuk 2
1 Abiro chungʼ kara mar rito kendo abiro bedo ewi kuonde moger motingʼore mag rito. Abiro ngʼicho mondo ane gima obiro wachona, kendo kuom dwoko mabiro chiwo kuom ywagni.
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 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “Ndik fwenyni kendo iler tiende maber kama indike, mondo jaland wach oring katere.
And YHWH answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3 Nikech fwenyni rito kinde moketi; owuoyo kuom ndalo giko, kendo ok nobed miriambo. Kata obedo ni onyalo deko kapok ochopo, rite arita, adier obiro chopo ma ok odeko.
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 “Ne kaka osungore; dwarone ok nikare. To ngʼat makare nobed mangima kuom yie mare,
Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
5 chutho, divai momadho ndhoge; en jasunga kendo osiko otimo gik maricho ma ok ool. Nikech owuor ka liel mamuonyo ji kendo kaka tho ok rom e kaka en bende ok orom, ochoko ogendini duto mondo obi ire, kendo omako ji duto wasumbini. (Sheol h7585)
Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people: (Sheol h7585)
6 “To donge jogi biro kwede ka ngʼongʼone kendo jare kawacho niya, “‘Inine malit in ngʼama choko gik mokwal kendo mabedo ja-mwandu gi gige mecho. Nyaka karangʼo ma gigi nodhi nyime katimore?’
Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!
7 To donge jogopeu biro poyou? Donge gibiro chiewo ma gimi utetni? Eka unubed wasumbinigi.
Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
8 Nikech useyako ogendini mangʼeny, joma odongʼ biro mayou. Nimar usechwero remb dhano, useketho pinje, mier madongo kod ji duto manie igi.
Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
9 “Ngʼat mayudo mwandu gi yore ma ok owinjore none malit kendo ogero ode kama otingʼore gi malo, mondo otony ne kethruok!
Woe to him that coveteth 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 Isechano kethruok mar ogendini mangʼeny, ma osemiyo odi owuon wichkuot kendo iwito ngimani.
Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.
11 Kite mag kor ot noywagnu matek to yiend tado nokow ywagno.
For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
12 “Ngʼat magero dalane gi remo kendo guro dala maduongʼ gi gige mecho enone malit!
Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!
13 Donge Jehova Nyasaye Maratego osechiko ni tije ogendini maricho biro bedo ramok mach, ogendini tiyo ma ol kayiem nono?
Behold, is it not of YHWH of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?
14 Nimar piny biro pongʼ gi ngʼeyo mar duongʼ Jehova Nyasaye kaka pi kwako nam.
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of YHWH, as the waters cover the sea.
15 “Enone malit ngʼat mamiyo jobathe math, ka omedogi ameda nyaka gimer, mondo one dug-gi.
Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
16 Wichkuot nomaki kar bedo gi pak. Koro en kindeni mar mer! Methi kendo dongʼ duk! Okombe moa e lwet Jehova Nyasaye ma korachwich bironi, kendo wichkuot biro umo duongʼ ma in-go.
Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of YHWH 's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.
17 Timbe mahundu ma isetimone Lebanon nonyori kendo le mane inego marach biro miyi bwok. Nimar isechwero remb dhano, iseketho pinje gi mier madongo, kendo gi ji duto manie igi.
For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, 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 “En ohala manade miyudo kuom nyiseche manono nimar dhano ema opayogi? Kata kido mapuonjo miriambo? Ngʼat malose oketo genone, kuom gima oloso owuon; oloso nyiseche manono ma ok nyal wuoyo.
What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
19 Enone malit ngʼat mawachone yien ni, ‘Bed mangima!’ Kata ni kite maonge ngima ni, ‘Chiew!’ Bende gik ma kamago dingʼadnu rieko? Kata obedo ni obawgi gi dhahabu gi fedha; to gionge gi ngima nikech gin gik motho.”
Woe unto him that saith 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 To Jehova Nyasaye nitie e hekalune maler; piny duto mondo olingʼ e nyime.
But YHWH is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
