< 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.
我要站在守望所, 立在望楼上观看, 看耶和华对我说什么话, 我可用什么话向他诉冤。
2 And YHWH answers me and says: “Write a vision, and explain on the tablets, That he may run who is reading it.
他对我说:将这默示明明地写在版上, 使读的人容易读。
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.
因为这默示有一定的日期, 快要应验,并不虚谎。 虽然迟延,还要等候; 因为必然临到,不再迟延。
4 Behold, a presumptuous one! His soul is not upright within him, And the righteous lives by his faith.
迦勒底人自高自大,心不正直; 惟义人因信得生。
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 )
迦勒底人因酒诡诈,狂傲, 不住在家中, 扩充心欲,好像阴间。 他如死不能知足, 聚集万国,堆积万民都归自己。 (Sheol )
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?
这些国的民岂不都要提起诗歌并俗语讥刺他说: 祸哉!迦勒底人,你增添不属自己的财物, 多多取人的当头,要到几时为止呢?
7 Do your usurers not instantly rise up, And those shaking you awake, And you have been a spoil to them?
咬伤你的岂不忽然起来, 扰害你的岂不兴起, 你就作他们的掳物吗?
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.
因你抢夺许多的国,杀人流血, 向国内的城并城中一切居民施行强暴, 所以各国剩下的民都必抢夺你。
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,
为本家积蓄不义之财、 在高处搭窝、指望免灾的有祸了!
10 You have counseled a shameful thing to your house, To cut off many peoples, and your soul [is] sinful.
你图谋剪除多国的民,犯了罪, 使你的家蒙羞,自害己命。
11 For a stone cries out from the wall, And a beam from the wood answers it.
墙里的石头必呼叫; 房内的栋梁必应声。
12 Woe [to] him who is building a city by blood, And establishing a city by iniquity.
以人血建城、 以罪孽立邑的有祸了!
13 Behold, is it not from YHWH of Hosts And peoples are fatigued for fire, And nations for vanity are weary?
众民所劳碌得来的被火焚烧, 列国由劳乏而得的归于虚空, 不都是出于万军之耶和华吗?
14 For the earth is full of the knowledge of the glory of YHWH, As the waters cover over a sea.
认识耶和华荣耀的知识要充满遍地, 好像水充满洋海一般。
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.
给人酒喝、又加上毒物、 使他喝醉、好看见他下体的有祸了!
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.
你满受羞辱,不得荣耀; 你也喝吧,显出是未受割礼的! 耶和华右手的杯必传到你那里; 你的荣耀就变为大大地羞辱。
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.
你向黎巴嫩行强暴与残害 惊吓野兽的事必遮盖你; 因你杀人流血, 向国内的城并城中一切居民施行强暴。
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?
雕刻的偶像,人将它刻出来, 有什么益处呢? 铸造的偶像就是虚谎的师傅。 制造者倚靠这哑巴偶像有什么益处呢?
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.
对木偶说:醒起! 对哑巴石像说:起来!那人有祸了! 这个还能教训人吗? 看哪,是包裹金银的,其中毫无气息。
20 And YHWH [is] in His holy temple, Be silent before Him, all the earth!”
惟耶和华在他的圣殿中; 全地的人都当在他面前肃敬静默。
