Habakkuk 2
1 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
| عَلَى مَرْصَدِي أَقِفُ، وَعَلَى ٱلْحِصْنِ أَنْتَصِبُ، وَأُرَاقِبُ لِأَرَى مَاذَا يَقُولُ لِي، وَمَاذَا أُجِيبُ عَنْ شَكْوَايَ. | ١ |
2 And Yhwh answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run that readeth it.
| فَأَجَابَنِي ٱلرَّبُّ وَقَالَ: «ٱكْتُبِ ٱلرُّؤْيَا وَٱنْقُشْهَا عَلَى ٱلْأَلْوَاحِ لِكَيْ يَرْكُضَ قَارِئُهَا، | ٢ |
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.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلرُّؤْيَا بَعْدُ إِلَى ٱلْمِيعَادِ، وَفِي ٱلنِّهَايَةِ تَتَكَلَّمُ وَلَا تَكْذِبُ. إِنْ تَوَانَتْ فَٱنْتَظِرْهَا لِأَنَّهَا سَتَأْتِي إِتْيَانًا وَلَا تَتَأَخَّرُ. | ٣ |
4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
| «هُوَذَا مُنْتَفِخَةٌ غَيْرُ مُسْتَقِيمَةٍ نَفْسُهُ فِيهِ. وَٱلْبَارُّ بِإِيمَانِهِ يَحْيَا. | ٤ |
5 Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people: (Sheol h7585)
| وَحَقًّا إِنَّ ٱلْخَمْرَ غَادِرَةٌ. ٱلرَّجُلَ مُتَكَبِّرٌ وَلَا يَهْدَأُ. ٱلَّذِي قَدْ وَسَّعَ نَفْسَهُ كَٱلْهَاوِيَةِ، وَهُوَ كَٱلْمَوْتِ فَلَا يَشْبَعُ، بَلْ يَجْمَعُ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ كُلَّ ٱلْأُمَمِ، وَيَضُمُّ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ جَمِيعَ ٱلشُّعُوبِ. (Sheol h7585) | ٥ |
6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!
| فَهَلَّا يَنْطِقُ هَؤُلَاءِ كُلُّهُمْ بِهَجْوٍ عَلَيْهِ وَلُغْزِ شَمَاتَةٍ بِهِ، وَيَقُولُونَ: وَيْلٌ لِلْمُكَثِّرِ مَا لَيْسَ لَهُ! إِلَى مَتَى؟ وَلِلْمُثَقِّلِ نَفْسَهُ رُهُونًا! | ٦ |
7 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
| أَلَا يَقُومُ بَغْتَةً مُقَارِضُوكَ، وَيَسْتَيْقِظُ مُزَعْزِعُوكَ، فَتَكُونَ غَنِيمَةً لَهُمْ؟ | ٧ |
8 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men’s blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
| لِأَنَّكَ سَلَبْتَ أُمَمًا كَثِيرَةً، فَبَقِيَّةُ ٱلشُّعُوبِ كُلِّهَا تَسْلُبُكَ لِدِمَاءِ ٱلنَّاسِ وَظُلْمِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَجَمِيعِ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا. | ٨ |
9 Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
| «وَيْلٌ لِلْمُكْسِبِ بَيْتَهُ كَسْبًا شِرِّيرًا لِيَجْعَلَ عُشَّهُ فِي ٱلْعُلُوِّ لِيَنْجُوَ مِنْ كَفِّ ٱلشَّرِّ! | ٩ |
10 Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.
| تَآمَرْتَ ٱلْخِزْيَ لِبَيْتِكَ. إِبَادَةَ شُعُوبٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَأَنْتَ مُخْطِئٌ لِنَفْسِكَ. | ١٠ |
11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلْحَجَرَ يَصْرُخُ مِنَ ٱلْحَائِطِ فَيُجِيبُهُ ٱلْجَائِزُ مِنَ ٱلْخَشَبِ. | ١١ |
12 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!
| «وَيْلٌ لِلْبَانِي مَدِينَةً بِٱلدِّمَاءِ، وَلِلْمُؤَسِّسِ قَرْيَةً بِٱلْإِثْمِ! | ١٢ |
13 Behold, is it not of Yhwh of Armies that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?
| أَلَيْسَ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَبِّ ٱلْجُنُودِ أَنَّ ٱلشُّعُوبَ يَتْعَبُونَ لِلنَّارِ، وَٱلْأُمَمَ لِلْبَاطِلِ يَعْيَوْنَ؟ | ١٣ |
14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Yhwh, as the waters cover the sea.
| لِأَنَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ تَمْتَلِئُ مِنْ مَعْرِفَةِ مَجْدِ ٱلرَّبِّ كَمَا تُغَطِّي ٱلْمِيَاهُ ٱلْبَحْرَ. | ١٤ |
15 Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
| «وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ يَسْقِي صَاحِبَهُ سَافِحًا حُمُوَّكَ وَمُسْكِرًا أَيْضًا، لِلنَّظَرِ إِلَى عَوْرَاتِهِمْ. | ١٥ |
16 Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of Yhwh's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.
| قَدْ شَبِعْتَ خِزْيًا عِوَضًا عَنِ ٱلْمَجْدِ. فَٱشْرَبْ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا وَٱكْشِفْ غُرْلَتَكَ! تَدُورُ إِلَيْكَ كَأْسُ يَمِينِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَقُيَاءُ ٱلْخِزْيِ عَلَى مَجْدِكَ. | ١٦ |
17 For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, 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.
| لِأَنَّ ظُلْمَ لُبْنَانَ يُغَطِّيكَ، وَٱغْتِصَابَ ٱلْبَهَائِمِ ٱلَّذِي رَوَّعَهَا، لِأَجْلِ دِمَاءِ ٱلنَّاسِ وَظُلْمِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَجَمِيعِ ٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا. | ١٧ |
18 What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
| «مَاذَا نَفَعَ ٱلتِّمْثَالُ ٱلْمَنْحُوتُ حَتَّى نَحَتَهُ صَانِعُهُ؟ أَوِ ٱلْمَسْبُوكُ وَمُعَلِّمُ ٱلْكَذِبِ حَتَّى إِنَّ ٱلصَّانِعَ صَنْعَةً يَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْهَا، فَيَصْنَعُ أَوْثَانًا بُكْمًا؟ | ١٨ |
19 Woe unto him that saith 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 midst of it.
| وَيْلٌ لِلْقَائِلِ لِلْعُودِ: ٱسْتَيْقِظْ! وَلِلْحَجَرِ ٱلْأَصَمِّ: ٱنْتَبِهْ! أَهُوَ يُعَلِّمُ؟ هَا هُوَ مَطْلِيٌّ بِٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْفِضَّةِ، وَلَا رُوحَ ٱلْبَتَّةَ فِي دَاخِلِهِ! | ١٩ |
20 But Yhwh is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
| أَمَّا ٱلرَّبُّ فَفِي هَيْكَلِ قُدْسِهِ. فَٱسْكُتِي قُدَّامَهُ يَا كُلَّ ٱلْأَرْضِ». | ٢٠ |
