Habakkuk 2
1 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will look out to see what He will speak by me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
Mwen va kanpe sou pòs gad mwen, e mwen va pran pozisyon sou ranpa a. Mwen va veye san rete pou wè ki sa Li va pale avèk mwen, ak jan pou m ta reponn, selon plent mwen pote bay L.
2 And the LORD answered me, and said: 'Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that a man may read it swiftly.
Konsa SENYÈ a te reponn mwen. Li te di: “Ekri vizyon an e montre li klè sou tablo, pou (sila) k ap kouri a, ka li l.
3 For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it declareth of the end, and doth not lie; though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay.'
Paske vizyon an toujou pou lè deziye a. La p pwoche vit pou rive nan bi li, ni li p ap fè fayit. Menmsi li fè reta, tann li; paske anverite, li va vini. Li p ap fè mize.
4 Behold, his soul is puffed up, it is not upright in him; but the righteous shall live by his faith.
Gade byen, kè l anfle. Nanm li pa dwat anndan l, men moun dwat la va viv pa lafwa li.
5 Yea, moreover, wine is a treacherous dealer; the haughty man abideth not; he who enlargeth his desire as the nether-world, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all peoples. (Sheol h7585)
Anplis, diven devwale yon moun ògeye, ki pa rete lakay li. L ap ogmante apeti li tankou Sejou mò a. Epi konsa, li menm, tankou lanmò a, pa kapab satisfè. Li rasanble a li menm tout nasyon yo, e li ranmase tout pèp yo a li menm. (Sheol h7585)
6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting riddle against him, and say: 'Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and that ladeth himself with many pledges!'
“Èske tout moun sa yo p ap Leve yon chan mokè kont li, yon tire pwen kont li pou di: “Malè a (sila) ki ogmante sa ki pa pou li— pou jiskilè l ap fè tèt li rich ak chantay li yo?”
7 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall exact interest of thee, and awake that shall violently shake thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
Èske moun ki dwe w yo p ap leve sibitman? Èske yo p ap vin souleve? Anverite, ou va vin piyaj pou yo.
8 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the peoples shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all that dwell therein.
Akoz ou te piyaje anpil nasyon, tout retay pèp yo va piyaje ou. L ap konsa, akoz tout san moun ki vèse ak vyolans ki fèt nan peyi a, nan vil la, ak tout moun ki rete ladann yo.
9 Woe to him that gaineth evil gains for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
“Malè a (sila) ki jwenn avantaj malonèt pou lakay li a, pou mete nich li byen wo, pou l ta ka delivre soti nan men a gwo malè!
10 Thou hast devised shame to thy house, by cutting off many peoples, and hast forfeited thy life.
Ou te machinen yon gwo wont pou lakay ou nan detwi anpil pèp. Konsa, ou te peche kont pwòp nanm ou.
11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
Anverite, wòch la va kriye soti nan mi an, e poto travès la va reponn li.
12 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and establisheth a city by iniquity!
“Malè a (sila) ki bati yon vil ak san vèse, e ki fonde yon vil ak inikite!
13 Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the peoples labour for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
Anverite, èske sa pa soti nan SENYÈ dèzame yo pou moun travay di pou dife a, e nasyon yo fatige kò yo pou granmesi?
14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
Paske latè va ranpli ak konesans ak laglwa SENYÈ a, tankou dlo kouvri lanmè.
15 Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy venom thereto, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
“Malè a ou menm k ap fòse vwazen ou bwè, k ap mele gwòg pa w ladann, menm pou fè yo sou, pou gade toutouni yo!
16 Thou art filled with shame instead of glory, drink thou also, and be uncovered; the cup of the LORD'S right hand shall be turned unto thee, and filthiness shall be upon thy glory.
Ou plen ak wont san onè. Konsa, ou va bwè ou menm e dekouvri pwòp toutouni pa ou. Tas nan men dwat SENYÈ a va vire tou won pou rive kote ou, e wont total va ranplase laglwa ou.
17 For the violence done to Lebanon shall cover thee, and the destruction of the beasts, which made them afraid; because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all that dwell therein.
Paske vyolans ki fèt Liban an va fè ou plonje desann, ansanm ak destriksyon a bèt va bay ou gwo laperèz; akoz de san vèse a moun ak vyolans tè a, nan chak vil la ak tout (sila) ki rete ladann yo.
18 What profiteth the graven image, that the maker thereof hath graven it, even the molten image, and the teacher of lies; that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
“Ki pwofi ki gen nan zidòl la, lè mèt li fin taye l? Swa yon imaj, fome pa yonpwofesè k ap bay manti? Paske (sila) menm ki te fè l la mete konfyans li nan pwòp zèv li a, lè l fòme zidòl ki bebe.
19 Woe unto him that saith to the wood: 'Awake', to the dumb stone: 'Arise!' Can this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
Malè a (sila) ki di a yon mòso bwa: ‘Leve!”, a yon wòch ki pa ka pale: “Kanpe!” Èske se (sila) a ki ka enstwi? Men gade byen, li kouvri nèt ak lò ak ajan, e pa gen okenn souf ladann.
20 But the LORD is in His holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him.
Men SENYÈ a la nan sen tanp Li. Ke tout tè a fè silans devan Li.”
