Habakkuk 2
1 On my charge I stand, and I station myself on a bulwark, and I watch to see what He speaks against me, and what I reply to my reproof.
Kai ni kama e ramvengim dawk ka kangdue teh kalupnae tapang koe ka o, kai heh bangtelamaw na dei pouh han tie thoseh, yon na pen pawiteh bangtelamaw ka pathung han tie thoseh, ka ring teh ka o navah,
2 And YHWH answers me and says: “Write a vision, and explain on the tablets, That he may run who is reading it.
BAWIPA ni ka touk e taminaw ni yawng laihoi a touk thai awh nahan, pâpho e lawk hah calung dawk thut haw.
3 For yet the vision [is] for a season, And it breathes for the end, and does not lie, If it lingers, wait for it, For surely it comes, it is not late.
Hote pâpho lawk teh atueng bawnae tue dei ngainae doeh. A laithout hoeh, tang ka tho hoeh nakunghai ngaihawi haw. A ro hoehnahlan a kuep mingming han.
4 Behold, a presumptuous one! His soul is not upright within him, And the righteous lives by his faith.
Pouknae karasang e tami teh a lungthin lan hoeh, tamikalan teh a yuemnae lahoi a hring han.
5 And also, because the wine [is] treacherous, A man is haughty, and does not remain at home, Who has enlarged his soul as Sheol, And is as death that is not satisfied, And gathers to itself all the nations, And assembles to itself all the peoples, (Sheol h7585)
Hothloilah misur, thouk ka net e tami teh lawkkam cak hoeh. Kâoup e tami teh amae hmuen koe awm thai laipalah, amae hounlounnae hah phuen patetlah akaw sak teh, duenae patetlah karoum thai hoeh e lungthin a tawn teh, khocaramca naw pueng hah a man teh, ama koe a kamkhueng sak. (Sheol h7585)
6 Are these not—all of them—an allegory taken up against him, And a moral of acute sayings for him, And say, Woe [to] him who is multiplying [what is] not his? Until when also is he multiplying to himself heavy pledges?
Hote taminaw ni pacekpahleknae lahoi banglahai noutna awh mahoeh. Ma e hnopai lah kaawm hoeh e ka lat e tami teh a yawthoe. Na totouh maw laiba hoi ao han vai, telah dei awh mahoeh namaw.
7 Do your usurers not instantly rise up, And those shaking you awake, And you have been a spoil to them?
Nang na ka kei e taminaw thaw awh vaiteh, ka tarawk e taminaw teh kâhlaw awh mahoeh maw. Nang teh ahnimouh ni lawp e tami lah na o awh han.
8 Because you have spoiled many nations, All the remnant of the peoples spoil you, Because of man’s blood, and of violence [to] the land, [To] the city, and [to] all dwelling in it.
Nang ni tami moikapap na lawp dawkvah kacawie taminaw ni nang teh na lawp awh han. Tami theinae yon, khocanaw pueng pacekpahleknae yon kecu dawk nang na pathung han.
9 Woe [to] him who is gaining evil gain for his house, To set his nest on high, To be delivered from the hand of evil,
Arasangnae koe tabu ka tuk ni teh rucatnae dawk hoi a taminaw hlout nahanelah ka tawng e tami teh a yawthoe.
10 You have counseled a shameful thing to your house, To cut off many peoples, and your soul [is] sinful.
Nang ni taminaw na thei e lahoi mae miphunnaw kaya sak hanelah kho na pouk dawkvah na hringnae na payon toe.
11 For a stone cries out from the wall, And a beam from the wood answers it.
Atangcalah tapang lah thung e talung buet touh ni a hram teh, pangkhek ni thingnaw thung hoi a pato.
12 Woe [to] him who is building a city by blood, And establishing a city by iniquity.
Tami thei e lahoi kho ka thawng e tami, hnokahawihoeh e sak e laihoi khopui ka caksak e tami teh a yawthoe awh.
13 Behold, is it not from YHWH of Hosts And peoples are fatigued for fire, And nations for vanity are weary?
Taminaw ni tha patung laihoi a tawk awh e pueng teh, ayawmyin lah na coung sak awh teh, a sak awh e pueng teh hmai hoi na sawi awh, hettelah katetkung teh ransahu BAWIPA ama doeh.
14 For the earth is full of the knowledge of the glory of YHWH, As the waters cover over a sea.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, tuipui ni a onae hmuen koung a licung e patetlah talai taminaw ni BAWIPA bawilennae hah panuethainae hoi akawi awh han.
15 Woe [to] him who is giving drink to his neighbor, Pouring out your bottle, and also making drunk, In order to look on their nakedness.
Imri hah caici lah ao teh kaya sak nahanlah yamu ka pânei e tami teh a yawthoe.
16 You have been filled—shame without honor, Drink also, and be uncircumcised, Turn around to you does the cup of the right hand of YHWH, And shameful spewing [is] on your glory.
Hatdawkvah nang teh minhmai mathoenae hoi, kayanae hoi na boum han. Nama hai yamu na net vaiteh caici lah na o han. Cathut e aranglae kut dawk kaawm e manang teh nang koe phat vaiteh, panuettho e palonae ni na bawilennae teh a ramuk han.
17 For violence [done to] Lebanon covers you, And spoil of beasts frightens them, Because of man’s blood, and of violence [to] the land, [To] the city, and [to] all dwelling in it.
Lebanon mon pacekpahleknae yon, saringnaw hah taki ka tho e hnonaw hoi raphoenae yon ni nang teh na ramuk han. Tami theinae yon hoi khocanaw pueng pacekpahleknae yon teh ao.
18 What profit has a carved image given That its former has hewn it? A molten image and teacher of falsehood, That the former has trusted on his own formation—to make mute idols?
Meikaphawk ni bang hawinae maw na poe teh kasakkung ni khuet a sak vaw. Meikaphawk hoi kacangkhaikung kaphawk naw ni ahawinae bangmaw na poe teh, kasakkung ni a sak e a kâuepkhai teh a lawk ka a e meikaphawk hah khuet a sak vaw.
19 Woe [to] him who is saying to wood, Awake, To a mute stone, Stir up, It [is] a teacher! Behold, it is overlaid—gold and silver, And there is no spirit in its midst.
Thingphek hah kâhlaw haw, talung hah thaw haw telah ka tet e tami teh a yawthoe. Hote hno ni na cangkhai han na maw Sui, ngun hoi pathoup eiteh athung hringnae tawn hoeh.
20 And YHWH [is] in His holy temple, Be silent before Him, all the earth!”
Cathut teh bawkim kathoung dawk ao dawkvah, a hmalah taminaw pueng lungmawng lahoi awm awh haw.
