< 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.
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 said: 'Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that a man may read it swiftly.
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 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.'
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 Behold, his soul is puffed up, it is not upright in him; but the righteous shall live by his faith.
Tala, atondisami na lolendo, motema na ye ezali na bosembo te; kasi moto ya sembo akobika na nzela ya kondima na ye.
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)
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 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!'
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 up suddenly that shall exact interest of thee, and awake that shall violently shake thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
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 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.
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 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!
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 devised shame to thy house, by cutting off many peoples, and hast forfeited thy life.
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 cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
Mabanga ya mir ekoganga mpe mabaya ya motondo ekoyanola.
12 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and establisheth a city by iniquity!
Mawa na moto oyo atongaka engumba na nzela ya makila mpe alendisaka yango na nzela ya lokuta!
13 Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the peoples labour for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
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 cover the sea.
Pamba te mokili ekotonda na boyebi ya nkembo na Yawe ndenge mayi etondaka na ebale.
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!
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 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.
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 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.
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 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?
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 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.
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 keep silence before Him.
Nzokande, Yawe azali kati na Tempelo na Ye ya bule; tika ete mokili mobimba ezala kimia liboso na Ye!
