< Habakkuk 2 >

1 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.
Hijohañe am-pijilovako eo iraho, hijadoñe am-pitalakesañ’ abo ey, hañilo mb’alafe’e mb’eo handrèndreke ze ho tsarae’e amako, naho ze hatoiko t’ie hiveroke.
2 The LORD answered me, “Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he who runs may read it.
Nanoiñe ahy t’Iehovà ami’ty hoe: Sokiro i aroñaroñey, bakabakafo an-takelake, hahavakia’ondaty milay.
3 For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and will not prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it, because it will surely come. It will not delay.
Ho amy andro namantañañ’ azey i tokiy, i figadoñañey ro enta’e, le tsy handañitse ndra t’ie tambatse, liñiso, toe ho tondroke le tsy hihenekeneke.
4 Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith.
Heheke ty miebotsebots’ an-troke, tsy vañoñe ty ama’e ao; fe veloñe amy fatokisa’ey ty vantañe.
5 Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous: an arrogant man who does not stay at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol (Sheol h7585); he is like death and cannot be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations and heaps to himself all peoples.
Mbore fañahie’ ty divay ty mpirengevoke tsy ho tamàñe añ’akiba’e ao, fa ampienare’e hoe i Tsikeokeokey ty fañiria’e, manahake o vilasio t’ie tsy mb’ia tsy etsake, fa atonto’e ama’e ze hene fifeheañe, ampitoabore’e ama’e ze kila ondaty. (Sheol h7585)
6 Will not 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?’
Aa vaho tsy songa handrambe razan-drehake ama’e irezay, handrabioñe aze an-titse, ami’ty hoe: Hankàñe amy nanontoñe ty tsy azey! akore ty hatrela’ ty nilogologoa’e tsoake!
7 Will not your debtors rise up suddenly, and wake up those who make you tremble, and you will be their victim?
Tsy hitroatse amy zao hao o mipay avak’ ama’oo? tsy ho tsekake hao o mampi­nevenevetse azo? ihe ho fikopaha’e.
8 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.
Aa kanao nikopahe’o o kilakila’ondatio, le ho volose’ o sehanga’ ondatio ka irehe; ty amo lio’ ondatio, naho i heloke nanoañe amy taney, naho amy rovaiy, vaho amo hene mpimoneñeo.
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!
Hekoheko amy mpikatramo vara ho a i anjomba’eiy, hañonjona’e ambone ey i kiboho’ey, hivotsora’e ami’ty haozara’ o ratio!
10 You have devised shame to your house by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against your soul.
fa nikinia’o hasalarañe ty akiba’o hañitoa’o t’indaty maro, vaho amam-kakeo am-bata’o.
11 For the stone will cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the woodwork will answer it.
Hikoike boak’an-drindriñe ao ty vato, hanoiñe aze i tsotsòke boak’ an-katae aoy:
12 Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!
Hankàñe! ty mpamboatse rova an-dio, ie mañoren-tanàñe an-tahiñe.
13 Behold, is not it from the LORD of Armies that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
Inao! tsy Iehovà’ i Màroy ty amokora’ ondaty ho ami’ty afo, naho ty amozaha’ o fifeheañeo ho an-kakoahañe.
14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD’s glory, as the waters cover the sea.
Toe ho lifotse ty fahafohinañe ty enge’ Iehovà ty tane toy, manahake ty fañampoan-drano i riakey.
15 “Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink, pouring your inflaming wine until they are drunk, so that you may gaze at their naked bodies!
Hankàñe ami’ty mampigenoke i rañe’ey, ie izonjoña’e i zonjòñey, hampijik’ aze am-bòreke, hisamba’e i heña’ey!
16 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.
Àtsan-kasalaran-drehe fa tsy engeñe, minoma ka, ho zoeñe t’ie tsy sinavatse, hitoliha’ ty fitovim-pitàn-kavana’ Iehovà, ho losore’ ty hameñarañe ty enge’o.
17 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.
Hanaroñ’ azo ty fijoiañe i Libanone, naho ty fanjamanañe biby nampalý iareo; ty ami’ty lio’ ondatio naho ty fampiantoañe i taney, i rovay, vaho o mpimoneñe ao iabio.
18 “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?
Ino ty tombo’ i sare-sokitsey, ie tsinene ty nanao aze, sare nitranaheñe naho mpañoke vande; t’ie iatoa’ i mpandranjy azey hanoe’e samposampo moañe?
19 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.
Hekoheko ami’ty manao ty hoe ami’ty hatae: Mañentea! naho amy vato moañey: Miongaha! Mahafanoro hao izay? Hehe t’ie nohoñem-bolamena naho volafoty, fe tsy aman-kofòke.
20 But the LORD is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him!”
Añ’anjomba’e masiñe ao t’Iehovà; mianjìña añatrefa’e eo ry an-tane-bey atoy.
