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.
Stal bom na svoji straži in se postavil na stolp in stražil bom, da vidim kaj mi bo rekel in kaj bom odgovoril, ko bom pograjan.
2 And the Lord answered me, and sayde, Write the vision, and make it plaine vpon tables, that he may runne that readeth it.
Gospod mi je odgovoril in rekel: »Zapiši videnje in ga naredi razločnega na ploščah, da bo lahko tekel, kdor ga bo bral.
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.
Kajti še je videnje za določeni čas, toda ob koncu bo govorilo in ne bo lagalo. Čeprav odlaša, čakaj nanj, kajti zagotovo bo prišlo, ne bo odlašalo.
4 Beholde, he that lifteth vp himselfe, his minde is not vpright in him, but the iust shall liue by his fayth,
Glej, njegova duša, ki je povzdignjena, ni iskrena v njem, toda pravični bo živel po svoji veri.
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)
Da, prav tako, ker greši z vinom, je ponosen človek niti se ne drži doma, ki svojo željo povečuje kakor pekel in je kakor smrt in ne more biti nasičen, temveč k sebi zbira vse narode in k sebi kopiči vsa ljudstva. (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?
Mar ne bodo vsi ti vzdignili prispodobe zoper njega in zbadljiv pregovor zoper njega in rekli: »Gorje tistemu, ki povečuje to, kar ni njegovo!« Doklej? In tistemu, ki se oblaga z zastavljenimi dobrinami!
7 Shall they not rise vp suddenly, that shall bite thee? and awake, that shall stirre thee? and thou shalt be their praye?
Mar se ne bodo nenadoma dvignili tisti, ki te bodo grizli in se prebudili tisti, ki te bodo mučili, ti pa jim boš v plen?
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.
Ker si oplenil mnoge narode, bo ves preostanek ljudstva oplenil tebe zaradi človeške krvi in zaradi nasilja deželi, mestu in vsem, ki prebivajo v njem.
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.
Gorje tistemu, ki hlepi s hudobno pohlepnostjo za svojo hišo, da bi lahko postavil svoje gnezdo na visoko, da bi bil lahko osvobojen pred močjo zla!
10 Thou hast consulted shame to thine owne house, by destroying many people, and hast sinned against thine owne soule.
Svetoval si sramoto svoji hiši, s tem, da si uničil mnoga ljudstva in si grešil zoper svojo dušo.
11 For the stone shall crie out of the wall, and the beame out of the timber shall answere it.
Kajti kamen bo vpil iz zidu in bruno iz lesa mu bo odgovarjalo.
12 Wo vnto him that buildeth a towne with blood, and erecteth a citie by iniquitie.
Gorje tistemu, ki gradi mesto s krvjo in mesto utrjuje s krivičnostjo!
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.
Glej, mar ni to od Gospoda nad bojevniki, da se bo ljudstvo trudilo v samem ognju in se bo ljudstvo izmučilo za samo ničnost?
14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters couer the sea.
Kajti zemlja bo napolnjena s spoznanjem Gospodove slave, kakor vode pokrivajo morje.
15 Wo vnto him that giueth his neighbour drinke: thou ioynest thine heate, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest see their priuities.
Gorje mu, ki daje svojemu bližnjemu piti, ki svoje mehove polaga k njemu in ga dela tudi pijanega, da bi lahko gledal na njihovo nagoto!
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.
Napolnjen si s sramoto namesto s slavo. Pij tudi ti in naj bo tvoja prednja kožica odkrita. Čaša Gospodove desnice bo obrnjena k tebi in sramotno pljuvanje bo na tvoji slavi.
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.
Kajti nasilje Libanona te bo pokrilo in plen živali, ki si jih prestrašil zaradi človeške krvi in zaradi nasilja dežele, mesta in vseh, ki prebivajo v njem.
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.
Kaj koristi rezana podoba, ki jo je njen izdelovalec izrezal; ulita podoba in učiteljica laži, da izdelovalec svojega dela zaupa vanjo, da izdeluje neme malike?
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.
Gorje tistemu, ki govori lesu: »Zbudi se.« Nememu kamnu: »Vstani, ta bo učil!« Glej, ta je prevlečen z zlatom in srebrom in tam, v njegovi sredi, sploh ni nobenega diha.
20 But the Lord is in his holy Temple: let all the earth keepe silence before him.
Toda Gospod je v svojem svetem templju. Naj vsa zemlja ohrani molk pred njim.
