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.
Nakotelema na esika na ngai ya kokengela, nakotelema ngai moko na likolo ya mir, nakosenzela mpo na komona makambo oyo akoyebisa ngai mpe eyano oyo nakopesa na banzembo oyo ya mawa.
2 Then the LORD answered me: “Write down this vision and clearly inscribe it on tablets, so that a herald may run with it.
Yawe ayanolaki: — Koma emoniseli oyo, koma yango na etando ya mabanga, koma yango penza malamu mpo ete moto nyonso akoka kotanga yango na bopete.
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.
Emoniseli oyo ezali kaka kozela tango na yango oyo ekatama; ezali kolobela makambo oyo ekosalema na tango ya suka; solo, ekokosa te. Ata ewumeli, (zela) yango kaka; solo, ekokokisama, ekowumela te.
4 Look at the proud one; his soul is not upright — but the righteous will live by faith —
Tala, atondisami na lolendo, motema na ye ezali na bosembo te; kasi moto ya sembo akobika na nzela ya kondima na ye.
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)
Solo, masanga ya vino ekosaka; moto ya lolendo avandaka kimia te. Mpo ete azali lokoso lokola mboka ya bakufi mpe atondaka te lokola kufa, asangisaka bato ya bikolo nyonso pembeni na ye mpe akomisaka bango bawumbu na ye. (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?’
Boni, bato wana nyonso bakoseka ye te na maloba ya kotiola mpe ya kosambwisa lokola: « Mawa na ye oyo azali kobomba biloko ya moyibi mpe akolisaka bomengo na ye na kobotola bato biloko na makasi! » Makambo ya boye ekokoba kino penza tango nini?
7 Will not your creditors suddenly arise and those who disturb you awaken? Then you will become their prey.
Boni, bakolo biloko bakobimela yo te na pwasa? Bakolamukela yo mpe bakolengisa yo. Boni, okokoma te lokola mosuni na bango ya kolia?
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.
Lokola obotolaki bomengo ya bato ya bikolo ebele na makasi, bato oyo batikali bakobotola yo mpe bomengo na yo na makasi, mpo ete osopaki makila ya bato, obebisaki mikili mpe bingumba elongo na bavandi na yango nyonso.
9 Woe to him who builds his house by unjust gain, to place his nest on high and escape the hand of disaster!
Mawa na moto oyo atongaka ndako na ye na nzela ya sembo te! Alukaka kosala zala na ye na likolo ya bangomba mpo na kokima ete makambo mabe ekomela ye.
10 You have plotted shame for your house by cutting off many peoples and forfeiting your life.
Lokola osalaki mabongisi ya kobebisa bato ebele, obongisaki nde soni ya ndako na yo moko mpe okotisi nde bomoi na yo moko na likama.
11 For the stones will cry out from the wall, and the rafters will echo it from the woodwork.
Mabanga ya mir ekoganga mpe mabaya ya motondo ekoyanola.
12 Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by iniquity!
Mawa na moto oyo atongaka engumba na nzela ya makila mpe alendisaka yango na nzela ya lokuta!
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?
Boni, ekatama te epai na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, ete misala ya bato ezala kaka lokola koni oyo ezali kopela moto, ete bikolo enyokwamaka bobele se pamba?
14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.
Pamba te mokili ekotonda na boyebi ya nkembo na Yawe ndenge mayi etondaka na ebale.
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!
Mawa na moto oyo amelisaka moninga na ye masanga makasi kino asilisa mbeki nyonso mpe alangwa mpo ete amona bolumbu na ye!
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.
Na esika ete otondisama na nkembo, okotondisama na soni. Sik’oyo ekomi tango na yo, mela mpe tikala bolumbu! Kopo oyo ewuti na loboko ya mobali ya Yawe eyei kozingela yo, mpe soni ekozipa nkembo na yo.
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.
Mabe oyo osalaki mokili ya Libani ekozongela yo, mpe somo ya banyama oyo obomaki ekokomela yo; pamba te osopaki makila ya bato, obebisaki mikili mpe bingumba elongo na bavandi na yango nyonso.
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.
Boni, banzambe ya bikeko ezali na tina nini, pamba te moto nde asalaki yango? Elilingi oyo eteyaka makambo ya lokuta ezali na tina penza nini? Pamba te moto oyo asalaki yango azali nde kotia elikya na mosala ya maboko na ye, asali nde ekeko oyo elobaka te.
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.”
Mawa na moto oyo alobaka na eteni ya nzete: « Telema! » Mawa na moto oyo alobaka na libanga oyo ezanga bomoi: « Lamuka! » Boni, ekeko ekoki solo kolakisa moto nzela? Bazipa yango wolo mpe palata, kasi pema ezali te kati na yango.
20 But the LORD is in His holy temple; let all the earth be silent before Him.
Nzokande, Yawe azali kati na Tempelo na Ye ya bule; tika ete mokili mobimba ezala kimia liboso na Ye!
