Habakkuk 2
1 I will stand at my guard post and station myself on the ramparts. I will watch to see what He will say to me, and how I should answer when corrected.
Nga ac fanyak nu fin tower in soan luk, ac tupan lah mea LEUM GOD El ac sap nga in fahk, ac top fuka El ac oru nu ke torkaskas luk.
2 Then the LORD answered me: “Write down this vision and clearly inscribe it on tablets, so that a herald may run with it.
Pa inge top ma LEUM GOD El ase nu sik. El fahk, “Simusla ma nga ac akkalemye nu sum inge fin eot kle in arulana kalem, mwet uh in mau ku in ngetang na liye ac kalem kac.
3 For the vision awaits an appointed time; it testifies of the end and does not lie. Though it lingers, wait for it, since it will surely come and will not delay.
Simusla ma inge mweyen soenna pacl in sikyak. Tusruktu in pacl na sa, ma nga akkalemye nu sum uh ac fah akpwayeiyuk. Sahp ac nunkeyuk mu ac paht in tuku, tusruktu soano na. Pwayena lah ac sikyak — ac fah tia kohtla nwe tok.
4 Look at the proud one; his soul is not upright — but the righteous will live by faith —
Pa inge kas sac: ‘Elos su koluk elos ac tia painmoulla, a elos su suwosna fah moul mweyen elos inse pwaye nu sin God.’”
5 and wealth indeed betrays him. He is an arrogant man never at rest. He enlarges his appetite like Sheol, and like Death, he is never satisfied. He gathers all the nations to himself and collects all the peoples as his own. (Sheol h7585)
Kasrup uh kiapwekutla. Mwet rapku uh elos orek funmwet ac koflana okaki — elos oana fulan misa, tia ku in muti. Pa sis elos srike in mweun ac eisla mutunfacl puspis nu selos sifacna. (Sheol h7585)
6 Will not all of these take up a taunt against him, speaking with mockery and derision: ‘Woe to him who amasses what is not his and makes himself rich with many loans! How long will this go on?’
Mwet sruoh uh ac fah israsrinkusrai mwet ma sruokolosi, ac akkalemye sulung lalos ac fahk, “Kowos eis ma su tia ma lowos; tusruktu ac kunausyukla kowos! Kowos ac oru ange nwe ngac, in eis kasrpowos ke funmwet selos su srakna akfalye soemoul la nu suwos?”
7 Will not your creditors suddenly arise and those who disturb you awaken? Then you will become their prey.
Tusruktu ac tiana paht, kowos su sruokya mwet saya ac fah oasr pac soemoul lowos, na ac fah oasr sap ku nu suwos in akfalye soemoul lowos wi ma laesla. Mwet lokoalok fah tuku ac oru kowos in rarrar ke sangeng. Elos ac fah utyak nu in acn suwos ac eisla ma nukewa lowos!
8 Because you have plundered many nations, the remnant of the people will plunder you— because of your bloodshed against man and your violence against the land, the city, and all their dwellers.
Kowos muta eis ma lun mwet fin mutunfacl puspis, na inge elos su painmoulla fah eisla ma lowos ke sripen akmas ac lokoalok kowos oru nu sin mwet faclu ac siti selos.
9 Woe to him who builds his house by unjust gain, to place his nest on high and escape the hand of disaster!
We nu suwos! Kowos akkasrupye sou lowos sifacna ke ma kowos eisla ke funmwet, ac srike in oakiya lohm suwos yen wangin mwe lokoalok fah sun!
10 You have plotted shame for your house by cutting off many peoples and forfeiting your life.
A inkanek koluk lowos an akmwekinye sou lowos. Ke kowos kunausla mutunfacl puspis, kowos pwanma ongoiya nu fowos sifacna.
11 For the stones will cry out from the wall, and the rafters will echo it from the woodwork.
Finne eot ke kalkal uh elos wowoyak pac lain kowos, ac loaloa in lohm uh etai pusren wowo lun eot uh.
12 Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by iniquity!
We nu suwos! Kowos oakiya sie siti fin ma koluk, ac musaela ke akmas.
13 Is it not indeed from the LORD of Hosts that the labor of the people only feeds the fire, and the nations weary themselves in vain?
Mwet in acn ma kowos kutangla elos kemkatu ke wangin mweyen ma nukewa elos musaela firiryak. LEUM GOD Kulana pa oru ma inge.
14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.
Tusruktu faclu ac fah arulana sessesla ke eteyen wolana lun LEUM GOD oana ke meoa uh sessesla ke kof.
15 Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbors, pouring it from the wineskin until they are drunk, in order to gaze at their nakedness!
We nu suwos! Kowos akpusiselye ac aklusrongtenye mwet tulan lowos in kasrkusrak lowos, ac kowos oru elos tukulkul oana elos in sruhi.
16 You will be filled with shame instead of glory. You too must drink and expose your uncircumcision! The cup in the LORD’s right hand will come around to you, and utter disgrace will cover your glory.
Ke ma inge, kowos ac fah apinyukla ke mwekin ac tia ke akfulat. Kowos sifacna ac fah nimnim ac tukulkul. LEUM GOD El ac fah oru tuh kowos in nim ke cup in kalyei lowos sifacna, na akfulat nu suwos ac fah ekla nu ke akmwekin.
17 For your violence against Lebanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of animals will terrify you, because of your bloodshed against men and your violence against the land, the city, and all their dwellers.
Kowos tuh pakiya insak in Lebanon; inge ac fah pakpuki kowos. Kowos onela kosro in acn we; inge kosro ac fah aklangingye kowos. Ma inge ac sikyak ke sripen akmas ma kowos tuh oru, ac ke sripen lokoalok yohk lowos lain mwet faclu ac siti lalos.
18 What use is an idol, that a craftsman should carve it— or an image, a teacher of lies? For its maker trusts in his own creation; he makes idols that cannot speak.
Mea, oasr sripen ma sruloala uh? Ma sruloala se ma na orekla ke poun mwet, ac wangin ma el ku in fahk. Mea wo el ac oru nu sin mwet ma oralla uh ku elos in lulalfongel — god na tia ku in kaskas se pa el.
19 Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Awake!’ or to silent stone, ‘Arise!’ Can it give guidance? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, yet there is no breath in it at all.”
We nu suwos! Kowos fahk nu sin sie polosak, “Tukakek!” ku nu sin sie eot, “Tuyak!” Ya sie ma sruloala ku in akkalemye kutena ma? Finne mosrweyukla manol ke silver ac gold, tusruktu wangin moul in el.
20 But the LORD is in His holy temple; let all the earth be silent before Him.
LEUM GOD El oasr in Tempul mutal lal; lela mwet e nukewa fin faclu in misla ye mutal.
