< Habakkuk 2 >
1 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will look forth to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer as to my reproof.
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 And Jehovah answered me and said, Write the vision, and engrave it upon tablets, that he may run that readeth 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 is yet for an appointed time, but it hasteth to the end, and shall not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; for it will surely come, it 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 Behold, his soul is puffed up, it is not upright within him: but the just shall live by his 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 moreover, the wine is treacherous: he is a proud man, and keepeth not at rest, he enlargeth his desire as Sheol, and he is like death and cannot be satisfied; and he assembleth unto him all nations, and gathereth unto him all peoples. (Sheol )
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 )
6 Shall not all these take up a proverb about him, and a taunting riddle against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? — and to him that loadeth himself with pledges!
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 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and they awake up that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
Boni, bakolo biloko bakobimela yo te na pwasa? Bakolamukela yo mpe bakolengisa yo. Boni, okokoma te lokola mosuni na bango ya kolia?
8 Because thou hast plundered many nations, all the rest of the peoples shall plunder thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence [done] to the land, to the city, and all that dwell therein.
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 that getteth iniquitous gain to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the grasp of evil!
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 Thou hast devised shame to thy house, by cutting off many peoples, and hast sinned against thine own soul.
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 stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
Mabanga ya mir ekoganga mpe mabaya ya motondo ekoyanola.
12 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and establisheth a city by unrighteousness!
Mawa na moto oyo atongaka engumba na nzela ya makila mpe alendisaka yango na nzela ya lokuta!
13 Behold, is it not of Jehovah of hosts that the peoples labour for 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 shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah as the waters cover the sea.
Pamba te mokili ekotonda na boyebi ya nkembo na Yawe ndenge mayi etondaka na ebale.
15 Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, — that pourest out thy flask, and makest [him] drunken also, that thou mayest look on 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 Thou art filled with shame instead of glory; drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of Jehovah's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and a shameful spewing shall be on thy 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 the violence [done] to Lebanon shall cover thee, and the destruction of beasts which made them afraid; because of men's blood, and for the violence [done] to the land, to the city, and all that dwell therein.
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 profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it? the molten image, and the teacher of falsehood, that the maker of his work dependeth thereon, to make dumb idols?
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 unto him that saith to the wood, Awake! to the dumb stone, Arise! Shall it teach? Behold it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
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 Jehovah is in his holy temple. Let all the earth keep silence before him!
Nzokande, Yawe azali kati na Tempelo na Ye ya bule; tika ete mokili mobimba ezala kimia liboso na Ye!
