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.
Aga m arịgoro nʼelu ebe nche m, guzo onwe m nʼebe nchekwa ahụ. Aga m echerekwa ịhụ ihe ọ ga-agwa m, na ihe m ga-asa, banyere mkpesa ndị a.
2 And Jehovah answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run who reads it.
Mgbe ahụ Onyenwe anyị zara m sị, “Dee ọhụ ahụ nʼelu mbadamba nkume e ji ede ihe. Depụta ya nke ọma, ka onye na-agba ọsọ nwee ike ịgụ ya.
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.
Nʼihi na e nwere ọhụ nke ga-adị ruo oge a kara aka, ọ na-ekwu banyere oge ọgwụgwụ, Ọ gaghị abụkwa ụgha. Ọ bụrụ na ọ dịka mmezu ya adịghị abịaru ọsịịsọ, chere mmezu ya, nʼihi na ọ ga-emesịa mezuo, ọ gaghị anọ tee aka.
4 Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright in him. (But the righteous man shall live by his faith.
“Lee, onye iro na-afụli onwe ya elu; ọchịchọ ya ezikwaghị ezi ma onye ezi omume ga-esite nʼokwukwe ya dị ndụ.
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)
Nʼezie, mmanya na-eduhie ya ụzọ, onye jupụtara na nganga, na-adịghị enwe ezumike. Ebe ọ bụ na o nwere anya ukwu dịka ala mmụọ, ọ gaghị enwekwa afọ ojuju dịka ọnwụ. Nʼihi na ọ na-achịkọta mba niile nye onwe ya, ọ na-adọtakwa ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ nʼagha. (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!
“Ndị a niile ha agaghị eji ịkwa emo na nkọcha sị ya, “‘Ahụhụ dịrị onye ahụ na-atụkọta ihe e zutere nʼohi, ruo ole mgbe ka ị ga-anọ na-eme onwe gị ọgaranya site nʼịnara ndị mmadụ ụgwọ nʼike?’
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?
Ọ bụ na ndị i ji ụgwọ agaghị abịakwasị gị na mberede? Ọ bụ na ha agaghị eteta nʼụra, mee gị ka ị maa jijiji? Mgbe ahụ ka ha ga-eji gị mee ihe ha chọrọ.
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.
Nʼihi na ị kwakọtala akụ nke ọtụtụ mba dị iche iche, ndị ahụ fọdụrụ ga-abịakwa kwakọrọ ihe niile i nwere. Nʼihi na ị wụsịala ọbara ndị mmadụ, i bibiela ọtụtụ ala na obodo na ndị niile bi nʼime ha.
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!
“Ahụhụ na-adịrị onye ahụ na-ewu ụlọ ya site nʼuru ọjọọ, nke na-ewukwasị akwụ ya nʼebe dị elu, nʼihi ịgbanarị mbibi nke ga-abịa.
10 Thou have devised shame to thy house, by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against thy soul.
I sitela nʼizuzu ọjọọ gị mee ka mbibi bịakwasị ọtụtụ mmadụ, sị otu a tufuo ndụ gị, ma wetakwara ezinaụlọ gị ihere.
11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
Ọ bụladị nkume ahụ e ji wuo mgbidi ga-eti mkpu megide gị. Osisi e ji doo elu ụlọ ga-etikwa mkpu akwa za nkume ndị ahụ.
12 Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!
“Ahụhụ dịrị onye ahụ na-eji ọbara ewu obodo, nke na-ejikwa ajọ omume eme ka obodo ahụ guzosie ike.
13 Behold, is it not of Jehovah of hosts that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
Ọ bụ na ọ bụghị uche Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile, na ndọgbu nʼọrụ niile nke mmadụ bụ na nkịtị, ihe e ji afụnwu ọkụ, na oke ọrụ niile nke mba dị iche iche bụ ihe lara nʼiyi?
14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea.
Nʼihi na ụwa niile ga-ejupụta na ihe ọmụma nke ebube Onyenwe anyị, dịka mmiri si ekpuchi oke osimiri.
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!
“Ahụhụ dịrị onye ahụ na-enye onye agbataobi ya mmanya, nke na-anọgide na-agbanyere ya mmanya tutu ruo mgbe mmanya bidoro igbu ya, ka o si otu a hụ ọtọ ya anya.
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.
Ihere ga-anọchi otuto na nsọpụrụ i nwere. Ṅụọ ka ị bụrụ onye mmanya na-egbu. Nʼihi na iko dị nʼaka nri Onyenwe anyị na-abịakwute gị. Ihere ga-anọchikwa anya otuto gị.
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.
Ihe ike ahụ i mere Lebanọn ga-abịakwasịkwa gị. Mbibi i bibiri anụmanụ dị iche iche ga-emekwa ka egwu ju gị obi. Nʼihi na ị wụsịala ọbara ọtụtụ mmadụ, bibie ala na obodo dị iche iche, bibiekwa ndị niile bi nʼime ha.
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?
“Gịnị bụ uru arụsị bara ebe ọ bụ aka mmadụ kpụrụ ya? Kedụ uru igwe a kpụrụ akpụ bara, bụ nke na-ekwu okwu ụgha? Nʼihi na onye na-atụkwasị ha obi na-atụkwasị obi ya nʼihe ahụ aka ya rụpụtara, nʼihi na ọ bụ arụsị na-enweghị ike ikwu okwu ka o mere.
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.
Ahụhụ dịrị onye ahụ na-agwa osisi okwu sị, ‘Dịrị ndụ.’ Ma ọ bụ nkume nke na-apụghị ikwu okwu, ‘Teta nʼụra.’ O nwere ike izi mmadụ ihe? Lee, ọ bụ ihe eji ọlaọcha na ọlaedo machie, ma ọ dịghị nkuume ọbụla dị nʼime ya.”
20 But Jehovah is in his holy temple. Let all the earth keep silence before him.
Ma Onyenwe anyị nọ nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu ya. Ya mere, ka ụwa niile dere duu nʼihu ya.
