< 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.
Nakotelema na esika na ngai ya kokengela, nakotelema ngai moko na likolo ya mir, nakosenzela mpo na komona makambo oyo akoyebisa ngai mpe eyano oyo nakopesa na banzembo oyo ya mawa.
2 And the Lord answered me, and sayde, Write the vision, and make it plaine vpon tables, that he may runne that readeth it.
Yawe ayanolaki: — Koma emoniseli oyo, koma yango na etando ya mabanga, koma yango penza malamu mpo ete moto nyonso akoka kotanga yango na bopete.
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.
Emoniseli oyo ezali kaka kozela tango na yango oyo ekatama; ezali kolobela makambo oyo ekosalema na tango ya suka; solo, ekokosa te. Ata ewumeli, (zela) yango kaka; solo, ekokokisama, ekowumela te.
4 Beholde, he that lifteth vp himselfe, his minde is not vpright in him, but the iust shall liue by his fayth,
Tala, atondisami na lolendo, motema na ye ezali na bosembo te; kasi moto ya sembo akobika na nzela ya kondima na ye.
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)
Solo, masanga ya vino ekosaka; moto ya lolendo avandaka kimia te. Mpo ete azali lokoso lokola mboka ya bakufi mpe atondaka te lokola kufa, asangisaka bato ya bikolo nyonso pembeni na ye mpe akomisaka bango bawumbu na ye. (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?
Boni, bato wana nyonso bakoseka ye te na maloba ya kotiola mpe ya kosambwisa lokola: « Mawa na ye oyo azali kobomba biloko ya moyibi mpe akolisaka bomengo na ye na kobotola bato biloko na makasi! » Makambo ya boye ekokoba kino penza tango nini?
7 Shall they not rise vp suddenly, that shall bite thee? and awake, that shall stirre thee? and thou shalt be their praye?
Boni, bakolo biloko bakobimela yo te na pwasa? Bakolamukela yo mpe bakolengisa yo. Boni, okokoma te lokola mosuni na bango ya kolia?
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.
Lokola obotolaki bomengo ya bato ya bikolo ebele na makasi, bato oyo batikali bakobotola yo mpe bomengo na yo na makasi, mpo ete osopaki makila ya bato, obebisaki mikili mpe bingumba elongo na bavandi na yango nyonso.
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.
Mawa na moto oyo atongaka ndako na ye na nzela ya sembo te! Alukaka kosala zala na ye na likolo ya bangomba mpo na kokima ete makambo mabe ekomela ye.
10 Thou hast consulted shame to thine owne house, by destroying many people, and hast sinned against thine owne soule.
Lokola osalaki mabongisi ya kobebisa bato ebele, obongisaki nde soni ya ndako na yo moko mpe okotisi nde bomoi na yo moko na likama.
11 For the stone shall crie out of the wall, and the beame out of the timber shall answere it.
Mabanga ya mir ekoganga mpe mabaya ya motondo ekoyanola.
12 Wo vnto him that buildeth a towne with blood, and erecteth a citie by iniquitie.
Mawa na moto oyo atongaka engumba na nzela ya makila mpe alendisaka yango na nzela ya lokuta!
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.
Boni, ekatama te epai na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, ete misala ya bato ezala kaka lokola koni oyo ezali kopela moto, ete bikolo enyokwamaka bobele se pamba?
14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters couer the sea.
Pamba te mokili ekotonda na boyebi ya nkembo na Yawe ndenge mayi etondaka na ebale.
15 Wo vnto him that giueth his neighbour drinke: thou ioynest thine heate, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest see their priuities.
Mawa na moto oyo amelisaka moninga na ye masanga makasi kino asilisa mbeki nyonso mpe alangwa mpo ete amona bolumbu na ye!
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.
Na esika ete otondisama na nkembo, okotondisama na soni. Sik’oyo ekomi tango na yo, mela mpe tikala bolumbu! Kopo oyo ewuti na loboko ya mobali ya Yawe eyei kozingela yo, mpe soni ekozipa nkembo na yo.
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.
Mabe oyo osalaki mokili ya Libani ekozongela yo, mpe somo ya banyama oyo obomaki ekokomela yo; pamba te osopaki makila ya bato, obebisaki mikili mpe bingumba elongo na bavandi na yango nyonso.
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.
Boni, banzambe ya bikeko ezali na tina nini, pamba te moto nde asalaki yango? Elilingi oyo eteyaka makambo ya lokuta ezali na tina penza nini? Pamba te moto oyo asalaki yango azali nde kotia elikya na mosala ya maboko na ye, asali nde ekeko oyo elobaka te.
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.
Mawa na moto oyo alobaka na eteni ya nzete: « Telema! » Mawa na moto oyo alobaka na libanga oyo ezanga bomoi: « Lamuka! » Boni, ekeko ekoki solo kolakisa moto nzela? Bazipa yango wolo mpe palata, kasi pema ezali te kati na yango.
20 But the Lord is in his holy Temple: let all the earth keepe silence before him.
Nzokande, Yawe azali kati na Tempelo na Ye ya bule; tika ete mokili mobimba ezala kimia liboso na Ye!
