Habakkuk 2
1 I will stand upon my watch, and set myself upon the tower, and will look forth to see what he will speak with me, and what I shall answer concerning my complaint.
Ndidzakhala pa malo anga aulonda, ndi kuyima pa mitumbira ya nkhondo; ndidzadikira kuti ndimve zimene Iye adzandiwuze, ndi yankho limene ndidzapatsidwe pa madandawulo anga.
2 And Jehovah answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run who reads it.
Tsono Yehova anandiyankha, nati: “Lemba masomphenyawa ndipo uwalembe mooneka bwino pa mapale kuti wowerenga awawerenge mosavuta.
3 For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hastens toward the end, and shall not lie. Though it tarry, wait for it, because it will surely come. It will not delay.
Pakuti masomphenyawa akudikira nthawi yake; masomphenyawa akunena zamʼtsogolo ndipo sizidzalephera kuchitika. Ngakhale achedwe kukwaniritsidwa, uwayembekezere; zidzachitika ndithu ndipo sadzachedwa.
4 Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright in him. (But the righteous man shall live by his faith.
“Taona, mdani wadzitukumula; zokhumba zake sizowongoka, koma wolungama adzakhala ndi moyo mwachikhulupiriro.
5 Yea, moreover, wine is treacherous.) He is a haughty man, who does not keep at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol, and he is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathers to him all nations, and heaps to him all peoples. (Sheol h7585)
Ndithu, wasokonezeka ndi vinyo; ndi wodzitama ndiponso wosakhazikika. Pakuti ngodzikonda ngati manda, ngosakhutitsidwa ngati imfa, wadzisonkhanitsira mitundu yonse ya anthu ndipo wagwira ukapolo anthu a mitundu yonse. (Sheol h7585)
6 Shall not all these take up a derision against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him who increases that which is not his (how long?) and who loads himself with pledges!
“Kodi onse ogwidwawo sadzamunyoza ndi kumunyogodola ponena kuti, “Tsoka kwa amene amadzikundikira katundu amene si wake ndipo amadzilemeretsa ndi chuma cholanda! Kodi izi zidzachitika mpaka liti?
7 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee. And thou shall be for booty to them?
Kodi angongole ako sadzakuwukira mwadzidzidzi? Kodi sadzadzuka ndi kukuchititsa mantha? Pamenepo iwe udzalandidwa kalikonse.
8 Because thou have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder thee, because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell therein.
Pakuti unafunkha mitundu yambiri ya anthu, mitundu ina imene inatsala idzakufunkha iweyo. Pakuti wakhetsa magazi a anthu; wawononga mayiko ndi mizinda ndi aliyense wokhala mʼmenemo.
9 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!
“Tsoka kwa amene amalemera ndi chuma chochipeza mwachinyengo, kukweza malo ake okhalapo, kuthawa mavuto!
10 Thou have devised shame to thy house, by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against thy soul.
Wakonzekera kuwononga mitundu yambiri ya anthu, kuchititsa manyazi nyumba yako yomwe ndi kuwononga moyo wako.
11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
Mwala pa khoma udzafuwula, ndipo mitanda ya matabwa idzavomereza zimenezi.
12 Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!
“Tsoka kwa amene amanga mzinda pokhetsa magazi ndi kukhazikitsa mzinda pochita zoyipa!
13 Behold, is it not of Jehovah of hosts that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
Kodi Yehova Wamphamvuzonse sanatsimikize kuti ntchito za anthu zili ngati nkhuni pa moto, ndi kuti mitundu ya anthu imadzitopetsa popanda phindu?
14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea.
Pakuti dziko lapansi lidzadzaza ndi chidziwitso cha ulemerero wa Yehova, monga momwe madzi amadzazira nyanja.
15 Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink, who adds thy venom, and also makes him drunken, that thou may look on their nakedness!
“Tsoka kwa amene amamwetsa anzake zakumwa zoledzeretsa, kutsanula mʼbotolo mpaka ataledzera, kuti aone umaliseche wawo.
16 Thou are filled with shame, and not glory. Drink thou also, and be as one uncircumcised. The cup of Jehovah's right hand shall come around to thee, and foul shame shall be upon thy glory.
Udzachita manyazi mʼmalo mokhala ndi ulemerero. Tsopano ino ndi nthawi yako! Imwa mpaka umaliseche wako uwonekere! Chikho chochokera mʼdzanja lamanja la Yehova chikubwera kwa iwe, ndipo manyazi adzaphimba ulemerero wako.
17 For the violence done to Lebanon shall cover thee and the plunder of the beasts (which made them afraid), because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell therein.
Udzathedwa nzeru ndi chiwawa chimene unachita ku Lebanoni, ndiponso udzachita mantha ndi nyama zimene unaziwononga. Pakuti wakhetsa magazi a anthu; wawononga mayiko ndi mizinda ndi aliyense wokhala mʼmenemo.
18 What profits the graven image, that the maker of it has engraved it, the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make dumb idols?
“Kodi fano lili ndi phindu lanji, poti analisema ndi munthu, kapena chifanizo chimene chimaphunzitsa mabodza? Pakuti munthu amene walipanga amakhulupirira ntchito ya manja ake; amapanga mafano amene samatha kuyankhula.
19 Woe to him who says to the wood, Awake, to the dumb stone, Arise! Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
Tsoka kwa amene amawuza mtengo kuti, ‘Khala wamoyo!’ Kapena mwala wopanda moyo kuti, ‘Dzuka!’ Kodi zimenezi zingathe kulangiza? Ndi zokutidwa ndi golide ndi siliva; mʼkati mwake mulibe mpweya.
20 But Jehovah is in his holy temple. Let all the earth keep silence before him.
Koma Yehova ali mʼNyumba yake yopatulika; dziko lonse lapansi likhale chete pamaso pake.”
