Habakkuk 2
1 I will stand vpon my watch, and set me vpon the towre, and wil looke and see what he would say vnto mee, and what I shall answere to him that rebuketh me.
Ndidzakhala pa malo anga aulonda, ndi kuyima pa mitumbira ya nkhondo; ndidzadikira kuti ndimve zimene Iye adzandiwuze, ndi yankho limene ndidzapatsidwe pa madandawulo anga.
2 And the Lord answered me, and sayde, Write the vision, and make it plaine vpon tables, that he may runne that readeth it.
Tsono Yehova anandiyankha, nati: “Lemba masomphenyawa ndipo uwalembe mooneka bwino pa mapale kuti wowerenga awawerenge mosavuta.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the last it shall speake, and not lie: though it tarie, waite: for it shall surely come, and shall not stay.
Pakuti masomphenyawa akudikira nthawi yake; masomphenyawa akunena zamʼtsogolo ndipo sizidzalephera kuchitika. Ngakhale achedwe kukwaniritsidwa, uwayembekezere; zidzachitika ndithu ndipo sadzachedwa.
4 Beholde, he that lifteth vp himselfe, his minde is not vpright in him, but the iust shall liue by his fayth,
“Taona, mdani wadzitukumula; zokhumba zake sizowongoka, koma wolungama adzakhala ndi moyo mwachikhulupiriro.
5 Yea, in deede the proude man is as hee that transgresseth by wine: therefore shall he not endure, because he hath enlarged his desire as the hell, and is as death, and can not be satisfied, but gathereth vnto him all nations, and heapeth vnto him all people. (Sheol h7585)
Ndithu, wasokonezeka ndi vinyo; ndi wodzitama ndiponso wosakhazikika. Pakuti ngodzikonda ngati manda, ngosakhutitsidwa ngati imfa, wadzisonkhanitsira mitundu yonse ya anthu ndipo wagwira ukapolo anthu a mitundu yonse. (Sheol h7585)
6 Shall not all these take vp a parable against him, and a tanting prouerbe against him, and say, Ho, he that increaseth that which is not his? howe long? and hee that ladeth himselfe with thicke clay?
“Kodi onse ogwidwawo sadzamunyoza ndi kumunyogodola ponena kuti, “Tsoka kwa amene amadzikundikira katundu amene si wake ndipo amadzilemeretsa ndi chuma cholanda! Kodi izi zidzachitika mpaka liti?
7 Shall they not rise vp suddenly, that shall bite thee? and awake, that shall stirre thee? and thou shalt be their praye?
Kodi angongole ako sadzakuwukira mwadzidzidzi? Kodi sadzadzuka ndi kukuchititsa mantha? Pamenepo iwe udzalandidwa kalikonse.
8 Because thou hast spoyled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoyle thee, because of mens blood, and for the wrong done in the land, in the citie, and vnto all that dwell therein.
Pakuti unafunkha mitundu yambiri ya anthu, mitundu ina imene inatsala idzakufunkha iweyo. Pakuti wakhetsa magazi a anthu; wawononga mayiko ndi mizinda ndi aliyense wokhala mʼmenemo.
9 Ho, he that coueteth an euil couetousnesse to his house, that he may set his nest on hie, to escape from the power of euil.
“Tsoka kwa amene amalemera ndi chuma chochipeza mwachinyengo, kukweza malo ake okhalapo, kuthawa mavuto!
10 Thou hast consulted shame to thine owne house, by destroying many people, and hast sinned against thine owne soule.
Wakonzekera kuwononga mitundu yambiri ya anthu, kuchititsa manyazi nyumba yako yomwe ndi kuwononga moyo wako.
11 For the stone shall crie out of the wall, and the beame out of the timber shall answere it.
Mwala pa khoma udzafuwula, ndipo mitanda ya matabwa idzavomereza zimenezi.
12 Wo vnto him that buildeth a towne with blood, and erecteth a citie by iniquitie.
“Tsoka kwa amene amanga mzinda pokhetsa magazi ndi kukhazikitsa mzinda pochita zoyipa!
13 Beholde, is it not of the Lord of hostes that the people shall labour in ye very fire? the people shall euen weary themselues for very vanitie.
Kodi Yehova Wamphamvuzonse sanatsimikize kuti ntchito za anthu zili ngati nkhuni pa moto, ndi kuti mitundu ya anthu imadzitopetsa popanda phindu?
14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters couer the sea.
Pakuti dziko lapansi lidzadzaza ndi chidziwitso cha ulemerero wa Yehova, monga momwe madzi amadzazira nyanja.
15 Wo vnto him that giueth his neighbour drinke: thou ioynest thine heate, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest see their priuities.
“Tsoka kwa amene amamwetsa anzake zakumwa zoledzeretsa, kutsanula mʼbotolo mpaka ataledzera, kuti aone umaliseche wawo.
16 Thou art filled with shame for glorie: drinke thou also, and be made naked: the cup of the Lords right hand shall be turned vnto thee, and shamefull spuing shalbe for thy glory.
Udzachita manyazi mʼmalo mokhala ndi ulemerero. Tsopano ino ndi nthawi yako! Imwa mpaka umaliseche wako uwonekere! Chikho chochokera mʼdzanja lamanja la Yehova chikubwera kwa iwe, ndipo manyazi adzaphimba ulemerero wako.
17 For the crueltie of Lebanon shall couer thee: so shall the spoyle of the beastes, which made them afraide, because of mens blood, and for the wrong done in the land, in the citie, and vnto all that dwell therein.
Udzathedwa nzeru ndi chiwawa chimene unachita ku Lebanoni, ndiponso udzachita mantha ndi nyama zimene unaziwononga. Pakuti wakhetsa magazi a anthu; wawononga mayiko ndi mizinda ndi aliyense wokhala mʼmenemo.
18 What profiteth the image? for the maker thereof hath made it an image, and a teacher of lies, though he that made it, trust therein, when he maketh dumme idoles.
“Kodi fano lili ndi phindu lanji, poti analisema ndi munthu, kapena chifanizo chimene chimaphunzitsa mabodza? Pakuti munthu amene walipanga amakhulupirira ntchito ya manja ake; amapanga mafano amene samatha kuyankhula.
19 Wo vnto him that sayth to the wood, Awake, and to the dumme stone, Rise vp, it shall teach thee: beholde, it is layde ouer with golde and siluer, and there is no breath in it.
Tsoka kwa amene amawuza mtengo kuti, ‘Khala wamoyo!’ Kapena mwala wopanda moyo kuti, ‘Dzuka!’ Kodi zimenezi zingathe kulangiza? Ndi zokutidwa ndi golide ndi siliva; mʼkati mwake mulibe mpweya.
20 But the Lord is in his holy Temple: let all the earth keepe silence before him.
Koma Yehova ali mʼNyumba yake yopatulika; dziko lonse lapansi likhale chete pamaso pake.”
