Habakkuk 2
1 I will stand on my watch, and set me on the tower, and will watch to see what he will say to me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
MALUNA o ko'u wahi kiai ke ku nei au, A maluna o kahi paa ke hoonoho ia'u iho, A e nana ae au e ike ai i ka mea ana e olelo mai ai no'u, A i ka mea a'u o pane aku ai no kuu hoakaka ana.
2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain on tables, that he may run that reads it.
Olelo mai o Iehova ia'u, i mai la, E kakau oe i ka mea i ikeia, A e kakau hoi ia ma na papa pohaku, I hiki ka mea heluhelu e hoholo.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
No ka mea, o ka mea i ikea no ka manawa maopopo ia; A ke lalelale nei i ka hope, aole ia e hoopunipuni; Ina e hookauluaia oia, e kali oe ia ia. No ka mea, e hiki io mai no ia, aohe ia e hookaulua.
4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
Aia hoi, o ka mea hookiekie, aole pono kona naau iloko ona; Aka, o ka mea pono, e hoolaia oia ma kona manaoio.
5 Yes also, because he transgresses by wine, he is a proud man, neither keeps at home, who enlarges his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathers to him all nations, and heaps to him all people: (Sheol h7585)
A he oiaio, o ka waina, ua hoopunipuni ia; O ke kanaka haaheo, aole ia i noho malie, Ua hoakea oia i kona makemake, e like me ka luakupapau, A ua like oia me ka make, aole ia e ana: Hoakoakoa oia nona iho i na lahuikanaka a pau, A ua houluulu nona iho i na kanaka a pau. (Sheol h7585)
6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increases that which is not his! how long? and to him that lades himself with thick clay!
Aole anei e hapai o keia poe a pau i mele nona, A i wahi olelo hoino nona, a e i aku, Auwe ka mea e hoomahuahua i ka waiwai, aohe nona! Pehea ka loihi! o ka mea e hoonui ana maluna ona i ka aie!
7 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite you, and awake that shall vex you, and you shall be for booties to them?
Aole anei e ku koke mai ka poe e nahu mai ia oe, A e ala mai ka poe e hookaumaha ia oe? A e lilo oe i pio no lakou.
8 Because you have spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil you; because of men’s blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
No ka mea, ua hoopio oe i na lahuikanaka he nui, O ke koena a pau o na kanaka e hoopio lakou ia oe, No ke koko o kanaka, a no ka hana ino i ka aina, I ke kulanakauhale, a me ka poe a pau e noho ana iloko ona.
9 Woe to him that covets an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
Auwe ka mea kuko i ka waiwai pono ole no kona hale, I hookiekie ai oia i kona punana iluna, I hoopakele ai ia ia iho mai ka mana o ka hewa mai!
10 You have consulted shame to your house by cutting off many people, and have sinned against your soul.
Ua kuka oe i ka mea hilahila no kou hale, Ma ka hooki ana i na kanaka he nui, Ua hana hewa aku hoi oe i kou uhane.
11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
No ka mea, e kahea mai ka pohaku mai ka paia mai, A o ke kaola laau e pane mai no ia.
12 Woe to him that builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!
Auwe ka mea kukulu i ke kulanakauhale me ke koko, O ka mea hookumu i ke kulanakauhale me ka hewa!
13 Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labor in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?
Aia hoi, na Iehova o na kaua anei keia, e hooluhi na kanaka iloko o ke ahi, A e hookaumaha ia lakou iho no ka mea ole?
14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
No ka mea, e hoopihaia ka honua i ka ike i ka nani o Iehova, E like me na wai i hoopiha ai i na moana.
15 Woe to him that gives his neighbor drink, that put your bottle to him, and make him drunken also, that you may look on their nakedness!
Auwe ka mea hoohainu i kona hoalauna, A e ninini i kou mea e wela ai ia ia, i ona oia, i nana aku ai oe i ko lakou olohelohe!
16 You are filled with shame for glory: drink you also, and let your foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD’s right hand shall be turned to you, and shameful spewing shall be on your glory.
E hoopihaia oe i ka hilahila no ka nani, E inu hoi oe, a e hoike i kuu okipoepoe ole: O ke kiaha o ka lima akau o Iehova e hiki mai no ia ia oe, A o ka luai hilahila e uhi mai i kou nani.
17 For the violence of Lebanon shall cover you, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men’s blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
No ka mea, o ka hana ino ia Lebanona e uhi mai ia oe, Me ka luku o na holoholona, i hooweliweli ia lakou, No ke koko o kanaka, a no ka hana ino i ka aina, I ke kulanakauhale, a me ka poe a pau e noho ana iloko ona.
18 What profits the graven image that the maker thereof has graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusts therein, to make dumb idols?
Heaha ka pono o ke kii, i ka manawa i kalaiia oia e ka mea nana ia i hana? A o ke kii hooheheeia, a me ka mea ao i ka wahahee? A o ka mea nana i hana i kona kii, ua hilinai ia maluna ona, ma ka hana ana i akua lapuwale?
19 Woe to him that says to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the middle of it.
Auwe ka mea olelo i ka laau, E ala mai! A i ka pohaku leo ole, E ku iluna! Oia ke ao mai! Aia hoi, ua uhiia oia i ke gula a me ke kala, Aka, aohe hanu iki iloko ona.
20 But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
Aia no o Iehova iloko o kona luakini hoano; E hamau imua ona, e ka honua a pau.
