Habakkuk 2
1 I will climb my watchtower; I will take my place on the city wall. I will keep watch and see what he will say to me, how he will answer my grievances.
我要站在守望所， 立在望楼上观看， 看耶和华对我说什么话， 我可用什么话向他诉冤。
2 Then the Lord told me, Write down the vision, inscribe it on tablets, so it can be easily read.
他对我说：将这默示明明地写在版上， 使读的人容易读。
3 For the vision is for a future time, it is about the end and it does not lie. If it seems slow in being fulfilled, wait for it, for it will definitely come—it will not be delayed!
因为这默示有一定的日期， 快要应验，并不虚谎。 虽然迟延，还要等候； 因为必然临到，不再迟延。
4 Look at those who are proud! They do not live right. But those who live right do so through their trust in God.
迦勒底人自高自大，心不正直； 惟义人因信得生。
5 In addition wealth provides no security. Those who are arrogant never have any peace; their greedy mouths are as wide open as the grave, and like death they are never satisfied. They gather nations like possessions, swallowing up many peoples. (Sheol h7585)
迦勒底人因酒诡诈，狂傲， 不住在家中， 扩充心欲，好像阴间。 他如死不能知足， 聚集万国，堆积万民都归自己。 (Sheol h7585)
6 Won't all these peoples taunt them? They will ridicule them, saying, “What disaster is coming to you who pile up things that don't belong to you! You make yourselves rich by forcing debtors to pay! How long can you go on doing this?”
这些国的民岂不都要提起诗歌并俗语讥刺他说： 祸哉！迦勒底人，你增添不属自己的财物， 多多取人的当头，要到几时为止呢？
7 Won't your debtors suddenly act? Won't they wake up to the situation and make you tremble? You will be plunder for them!
咬伤你的岂不忽然起来， 扰害你的岂不兴起， 你就作他们的掳物吗？
8 Because you have plundered many nations, those who are left will plunder you—for the human blood you have shed and the destruction you brought on lands and cities, and those who lived there.
因你抢夺许多的国，杀人流血， 向国内的城并城中一切居民施行强暴， 所以各国剩下的民都必抢夺你。
9 What disaster is coming to you who build houses through dishonest gain! You think you can place your “nest” so high it will be safe from disaster.
为本家积蓄不义之财、 在高处搭窝、指望免灾的有祸了！
10 Your evil schemes have brought shame upon your families, by destroying many nations you have forfeited your own lives.
你图谋剪除多国的民，犯了罪， 使你的家蒙羞，自害己命。
11 Even the stones in the wall cry out in condemnation, and the wooden rafters join in too.
墙里的石头必呼叫； 房内的栋梁必应声。
12 What disaster is coming to you who build cities with bloodshed, who found cities built on wickedness!
以人血建城、 以罪孽立邑的有祸了！
13 Hasn't the Lord Almighty decided that all such nations work for will be destroyed by fire, that they wear themselves out for nothing?
众民所劳碌得来的被火焚烧， 列国由劳乏而得的归于虚空， 不都是出于万军之耶和华吗？
14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord's glory as the waters fill the sea.
认识耶和华荣耀的知识要充满遍地， 好像水充满洋海一般。
15 What disaster is coming to you who make your neighbors drunk! You force your cup of anger on them and make them drink so you may see them naked.
给人酒喝、又加上毒物、 使他喝醉、好看见他下体的有祸了！
16 In turn you will be filled with shame instead of glory. Drink yourself and expose your nakedness! The cup the Lord holds in his right hand will be passed round to you and your glory will turn to shame.
你满受羞辱，不得荣耀； 你也喝吧，显出是未受割礼的！ 耶和华右手的杯必传到你那里； 你的荣耀就变为大大地羞辱。
17 As you destroyed the forests of Lebanon you will also be destroyed; you hunted the animals there, and now they will hunt you. For you shed human blood and you destroyed lands and cities, along with those who lived there.
你向黎巴嫩行强暴与残害 惊吓野兽的事必遮盖你； 因你杀人流血， 向国内的城并城中一切居民施行强暴。
18 What use is a wooden idol carved by human hands, or a metal image that teaches lies? What is the point of their makers trusting in their own handiwork, creating idols that can't speak?
雕刻的偶像，人将它刻出来， 有什么益处呢？ 铸造的偶像就是虚谎的师傅。 制造者倚靠这哑巴偶像有什么益处呢？
19 What disaster is coming to you who say to something made of wood, “Wake up!” or to lifeless stone, “Get up!” Can it teach you anything? Look at it! It's covered with gold and silver, but there is no life inside it.
对木偶说：醒起！ 对哑巴石像说：起来！那人有祸了！ 这个还能教训人吗？ 看哪，是包裹金银的，其中毫无气息。
20 But the Lord is in his holy Temple; let all the earth be silent in his presence.
惟耶和华在他的圣殿中； 全地的人都当在他面前肃敬静默。
