< 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.
Kai ni kama e ramvengim dawk ka kangdue teh kalupnae tapang koe ka o, kai heh bangtelamaw na dei pouh han tie thoseh, yon na pen pawiteh bangtelamaw ka pathung han tie thoseh, ka ring teh ka o navah,
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.
BAWIPA ni ka touk e taminaw ni yawng laihoi a touk thai awh nahan, pâpho e lawk hah calung dawk thut haw.
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.
Hote pâpho lawk teh atueng bawnae tue dei ngainae doeh. A laithout hoeh, tang ka tho hoeh nakunghai ngaihawi haw. A ro hoehnahlan a kuep mingming han.
4 Behold, he that is unbelieving, his soul shall not be right in himself: but the just shall live in his faith.
Pouknae karasang e tami teh a lungthin lan hoeh, tamikalan teh a yuemnae lahoi a hring han.
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)
Hothloilah misur, thouk ka net e tami teh lawkkam cak hoeh. Kâoup e tami teh amae hmuen koe awm thai laipalah, amae hounlounnae hah phuen patetlah akaw sak teh, duenae patetlah karoum thai hoeh e lungthin a tawn teh, khocaramca naw pueng hah a man teh, ama koe a kamkhueng sak. (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?
Hote taminaw ni pacekpahleknae lahoi banglahai noutna awh mahoeh. Ma e hnopai lah kaawm hoeh e ka lat e tami teh a yawthoe. Na totouh maw laiba hoi ao han vai, telah dei awh mahoeh namaw.
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?
Nang na ka kei e taminaw thaw awh vaiteh, ka tarawk e taminaw teh kâhlaw awh mahoeh maw. Nang teh ahnimouh ni lawp e tami lah na o awh han.
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.
Nang ni tami moikapap na lawp dawkvah kacawie taminaw ni nang teh na lawp awh han. Tami theinae yon, khocanaw pueng pacekpahleknae yon kecu dawk nang na pathung han.
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.
Arasangnae koe tabu ka tuk ni teh rucatnae dawk hoi a taminaw hlout nahanelah ka tawng e tami teh a yawthoe.
10 Thou hast devised confusion to thy house, thou hast cut off many people, and thy soul hath sinned.
Nang ni taminaw na thei e lahoi mae miphunnaw kaya sak hanelah kho na pouk dawkvah na hringnae na payon toe.
11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall: and the timber that is between the joints of the building, shall answer.
Atangcalah tapang lah thung e talung buet touh ni a hram teh, pangkhek ni thingnaw thung hoi a pato.
12 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and prepareth a city by iniquity.
Tami thei e lahoi kho ka thawng e tami, hnokahawihoeh e sak e laihoi khopui ka caksak e tami teh a yawthoe awh.
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.
Taminaw ni tha patung laihoi a tawk awh e pueng teh, ayawmyin lah na coung sak awh teh, a sak awh e pueng teh hmai hoi na sawi awh, hettelah katetkung teh ransahu BAWIPA ama doeh.
14 For the earth shall be filled, that men may know the glory of the Lord, as waters covering the sea.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, tuipui ni a onae hmuen koung a licung e patetlah talai taminaw ni BAWIPA bawilennae hah panuethainae hoi akawi awh han.
15 Woe to him that giveth drink to his friend, and presenteth his gall, and maketh him drunk, that he may behold his nakedness.
Imri hah caici lah ao teh kaya sak nahanlah yamu ka pânei e tami teh a yawthoe.
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.
Hatdawkvah nang teh minhmai mathoenae hoi, kayanae hoi na boum han. Nama hai yamu na net vaiteh caici lah na o han. Cathut e aranglae kut dawk kaawm e manang teh nang koe phat vaiteh, panuettho e palonae ni na bawilennae teh a ramuk han.
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.
Lebanon mon pacekpahleknae yon, saringnaw hah taki ka tho e hnonaw hoi raphoenae yon ni nang teh na ramuk han. Tami theinae yon hoi khocanaw pueng pacekpahleknae yon teh ao.
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.
Meikaphawk ni bang hawinae maw na poe teh kasakkung ni khuet a sak vaw. Meikaphawk hoi kacangkhaikung kaphawk naw ni ahawinae bangmaw na poe teh, kasakkung ni a sak e a kâuepkhai teh a lawk ka a e meikaphawk hah khuet a sak vaw.
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.
Thingphek hah kâhlaw haw, talung hah thaw haw telah ka tet e tami teh a yawthoe. Hote hno ni na cangkhai han na maw Sui, ngun hoi pathoup eiteh athung hringnae tawn hoeh.
20 But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
Cathut teh bawkim kathoung dawk ao dawkvah, a hmalah taminaw pueng lungmawng lahoi awm awh haw.
