Habakkuk 2
1 I will stand upon my watch, and fix my foot upon the tower: and I will watch, to see what will be said to me, and what I may answer to him that reproveth me.
Toephaih imsang ah kang doet moe, imsang nuiah ka oh han; anih mah tih lok maw na thui tih, tito ka zing moe, kai kasae ang thuih naah timaw ka pathim han, tiah ka khet han.
2 And the Lord answered me, and said: Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables: that he that readeth it may run over it.
To naah Angraeng mah lok ang pathim, kai khaeah, Na hnuk ih hmuen to tarik ah, kami mah cawnh hoi kroek thaih hanah thlung kangphaek nuiah kamtueng ah tarik ah, tiah ang naa.
3 For as yet the vision is far off, and it shall appear at the end, and shall not lie: if it make any delay, wait for it: for it shall surely come, and it shall not be slack.
Hnuksak ih hmuen loe atue boenghaih kawng, atue khaehhaih kawng ah oh: amsawnlok na ai ni: angzo phrat ai cadoeh, zing ah; angzo tangtang tih, akra mak ai boeh.
4 Behold, he that is unbelieving, his soul shall not be right in himself: but the just shall live in his faith.
Khenah, amoek kami loe poekhaih toeng ai, toe katoeng kami loe a tanghaih hoiah hing tih:
5 And as wine deceiveth him that drinketh it: so shall the proud man be, and he shall not be honoured: who hath enlarged his desire like hell: and is himself like death, and he is never satisfied: but will gather together unto him all nations, and heap together unto him all people. (Sheol h7585)
ue, misurtui nae kami loe zaehaih to sak, anih loe im ah a tawnh ih hmuen hoiah zok amhah thai ai: anih koehhaih loe hell baktiah kawk moe, duekhaih baktiah palung khuek tih thai ai, angmah khaeah acaeng kaminawk to pakhueng boih moe, kaminawk to angmah hanah a suek boih. (Sheol h7585)
6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a dark speech concerning him: and it shall be said: Woe to him that heapeth together that which is not his own? how long also doth he load himself with thick clay?
Hae kaminawk loe anih koeh ai ih patahhaih hoi pahnui thuihaih lok to patoh o tih; nihcae mah, Amsoem ai kaminawk ih hmuenmae lomhaih hoi angraeng kami loe khosak bing! Anih loe nasetto maw hae tiah laiba hoi caeh thai tih? tiah thui o mak ai maw?
7 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee: and they be stirred up that shall tear thee, and thou shalt be a spoil to them?
Nihcae loe poek ai pui hoiah nangcae kaek hanah angthawk o mak ai maw? Angthawk o ueloe, palung na phui o sak mak ai maw? Nangcae loe nihcae mah lomh ih hmuen ah na om o tih.
8 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all that shall be left of the people shall spoil thee: because of men’s blood, and for the iniquity of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
Nangcae mah kaminawk athii na long o sak moe, prae hoi vangpui thung ih hmuennawk to na paro pae o; pop parai prae kaminawk to na lomh pongah, kahing kanghmat to ih kaminawk mah nang to na lomh o toeng tih.
9 Woe to him that gathereth together an evil covetousness to his house, that his nest may be on high, and thinketh he may be delivered out of the hand of evil.
Karai hmuen tonghaih hoiah loih thai hanah, amsoem ai loklam hoi hnuk ih hmuen hoiah hmuensang ah angmah ih im sah kami loe khosak bing!
10 Thou hast devised confusion to thy house, thou hast cut off many people, and thy soul hath sinned.
Paroeai kaminawk hoi kam hoe ah na oh, na imthung takoh na zatsak moe, na hinghaih zaehaih sahsak kami ah na oh.
11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall: and the timber that is between the joints of the building, shall answer.
Sipae ah na patoh ih thlungnawk to hang o ueloe, thing thung ih thingphaek mah lok to pathim tih.
12 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and prepareth a city by iniquity.
Athii palonghaih hoiah vangpui to sak moe, zaehaih hoiah vangpui angdoesak kami loe khosak bing!
13 Are not these things from the Lord of hosts? for the people shall labour in a great fire: and the nations in vain, and they shall faint.
Khenah, kaminawk mah tha pathok moe, sak o ih hmuen to azom pui ah oh hanah, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah hmai hoiah lokcaek boeh na ai maw?
14 For the earth shall be filled, that men may know the glory of the Lord, as waters covering the sea.
Tuipui loe tuinawk hoiah koi baktih toengah, long loe lensawk Angraeng panoekhaih hoiah koi tih.
15 Woe to him that giveth drink to his friend, and presenteth his gall, and maketh him drunk, that he may behold his nakedness.
Angmah ih imtaeng kami naeksak hanah mu paek kami, anih to mu paquisak moe, nihcae bangkrai ah ohhaih khet hanah, anih han mu pailang paek kami loe khosak bing!
16 Thou art filled with shame instead of glory: drink thou also, and fall fast asleep: the cup of the right hand of the Lord shall compass thee, and shameful vomiting shall be on thy glory.
Nang loe pakoehhaih pongah azathaih hoiah ni na koi tih: nang doeh mu paquisak ueloe, tangzat to amtuengsak tih! Angraeng bantang bang ih boengloeng loe nang khaeah angqoi ueloe, azathaih loe na lensawkhaih ah om tih.
17 For the iniquity of Libanus shall cover thee, and the ravaging of beasts shall terrify them because of the blood of men, and the iniquity of the land, and of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
Nang mah kami ih athii to na palong, minawk prae hoi vangpui thung ih hmuennawk to na lomh pae; Lebanon mae nuiah na sak ih athii palonghaih hoiah moinawk to na dueksak baktih toengah, na nuiah pha tih boeh.
18 What doth the graven thing avail, because the maker thereof hath graven it, a molten, and a false image? because the forger thereof hath trusted in a thing of his own forging, to make dumb idols.
Krang sah kami mah sakcop ih krang bokhaih loe timaw atho oh! Sakcop ih krang loe amsawnlok patukkung ah ni oh, tipongah krang sah kami mah lok apae thai ai krang to sak moe, a ban hoi sak ih krang to a tang loe?
19 Woe to him that saith to wood: Awake: to the dumb stone: Arise: can it teach? Behold, it is laid over with gold, and silver, and there is no spirit in the bowels thereof.
Thing khaeah, anglawt ah! Lok apae thai ai thlung khaeah, angthawk ah! tiah thui kami loe khosak bing! Khenah, a nuiah sui hoi sum kanglung tui to pazut o, toe a thungah anghahhaih takhi roe om ai. To baktih hmuen mah, kami patuk thai tih maw?
20 But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
Toe Angraeng loe angmah ih kaciim tempul thungah oh; anih hmaa ah longnawk boih anghngai o duem nasoe.
