< 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.
Agtakderakto iti pagbanbantayak ket agpuestoak iti torre a pagwanawanan, ket agbantayakto a nasayaat tapno maammoak no ania ti ibagana kaniak ken no ania ti rumbeng nga isungbatko maipapan iti asugko.
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.
Simmungbat ni Yahweh kaniak a kinunana, “Isuratmo daytoy a sirmata, ket isuratmo a nabatad kadagiti tapi ti bato tapno makataray ti mangbasa kadagitoy!
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.
Ta ti sirmata ket para iti masakbayan a tiempo ket agsaonto iti kamaudianan, ket saan a mapaay. Uray no mataktak, urayem daytoy! Ta sigurado nga umayto daytoy ket saanto nga agbayag!
4 Behold, he that is unbelieving, his soul shall not be right in himself: but the just shall live in his faith.
Kitaem! Ti tao nga agtaltalek iti kaungganda ket awan pagbanaganna. Ngem ti nalinteg ket agbiagto babaen iti pammatina!
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)
Ta ti arak ket mangliliput iti natangsit nga agtutubo a lalaki tapno saan isuna nga agtulnog, ngem, padpadakkelenna ti kalikagumna a kas iti tanem ken kas iti patay a saan a pulos a mapnek. Ummongenna dagiti amin a nasion a para iti bagina ken ummongenna dagiti amin a tattao para iti bagina. (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?
Amin dagitoy a tattao, saandanto ngata a mangusar iti maysa a pangngarig maibusor kenkuana ken pananglais a panangibaga maipapan kenkuana a kunana, 'Asi pay daydiay a mangpaadu iti saanna a kukua! Ta kasano kabayag ti panangpadagsenyo kadagiti naisalda nga innalayo?’
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?
Saanto kadi a tumakder a dagus dagiti agngarngaryet kenka, ken saanto kadi a makariing dagiti mangbutbuteng kenka? Agbalinkanto a biktimada!
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.
Gapu ta sinamsammo ti adu a nasion, samsamandakanto dagiti amin a nabatbati a tattao, gapu iti dara ti lalaki ken ti kinaranggas a naaramid iti daga, ti bario ken dagiti agnanaed iti daytoy.
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.
'Asi pay ti agur-urnong kadagiti dakes a gunggona para iti balayna, tapno maisaadna ti umokna iti ngato tapno natalged isuna manipud iti ima ti dakes!'
10 Thou hast devised confusion to thy house, thou hast cut off many people, and thy soul hath sinned.
Nangpartuatka iti pannakaibabain para iti balaymo babaen iti panangdadaelmo iti adu a tattao, ken nagbasolka maibusor iti bagim.
11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall: and the timber that is between the joints of the building, shall answer.
Ta umasugto dagiti bato manipud iti pader, ket sumungbatto kadagitoy dagiti pasanggir a kayo.
12 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and prepareth a city by iniquity.
'Asi pay ti mangibangon iti siudad babaen ti dara, ken ti mangibangon ti ili ti kinadangkes!'
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.
Saan kadi a nagtaud kenni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-a ti nagbannugan dagiti tatao ket agpaay iti apuy ken banbannogen dagiti nasion dagiti bagbagida para iti awan?
14 For the earth shall be filled, that men may know the glory of the Lord, as waters covering the sea.
Ngem, mapnunto ti daga iti pannakaammo ti dayag ni Yahweh kas iti panangabbong dagiti dandanum iti baybay.
15 Woe to him that giveth drink to his friend, and presenteth his gall, and maketh him drunk, that he may behold his nakedness.
'Asi pay ti mangmangted iti arak iti kaarrubana, ken sika a mangnaynayun iti sabidong agingga a mabartekmo ida tapno makitam ti kinalamu-lamoda!'
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.
Mapnoankanto iti bain saan ket a dayag! Uminom ka met iti daytoy, ket ipakitam ti kinalamu-lamom! Ti kopa ni Yahweh nga adda iti makannawan nga imana ket dumtengto kenka, ket abbonganto ti pannakaibabain ti dayawmo.
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.
Ti kinaranggas a naaramid iti Lebanon ket abbungannakanto, ken ti pannakadadael dagiti narungsot nga ayup ket butbutngennakanto gapu iti dara dagiti lallaki ken gapu iti kinaranggas a naaramid iti daga, kadagiti siudad ken kadagiti amin nga agnanaed sadiay.
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.
Ania aya ti magun-odyo iti nakitikitan a ladawan? Ta ti nangikitikit iti daytoy, wenno ti nangaramid iti ladawan manipud iti narunaw a landok ket maysa a mangisursuro iti inuulbod; ta agtaltalek isuna iti mismo nga aramid ti imana idi inaramidna dagitoy nga umel a didios.
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.
'Asi pay ti mangibagbaga iti kayo, Bumangonka! Wenno iti naulimek a bato, Tumakderka!' Makaisuro kadi dagitoy a banbanag? Kitaenyo, nakalupkopan daytoy iti balitok ken pirak ngem saan a pulos aganges ti kaungganna.
20 But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
Ngem ni Yahweh ket adda iti nasantoan a templona! Agulimekka iti sangoananna, O amin a daga!”
