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， 立在望樓上觀看， 看耶和華對我說甚麼話， 我可用甚麼話向他訴冤。
2 And YHWH answers me and says: “Write a vision, and explain on the tablets, That he may run who is reading it.
他對我說：將這默示明明地寫在版上， 使讀的人容易讀。
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.
因為這默示有一定的日期， 快要應驗，並不虛謊。 雖然遲延，還要等候； 因為必然臨到，不再遲延。
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； 惟義人因信得生。
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 h7585)
迦勒底人因酒詭詐，狂傲， 不住在家中， 擴充心欲，好像陰間。 他如死不能知足， 聚集萬國，堆積萬民都歸自己。 (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?
這些國的民豈不都要提起詩歌並俗語譏刺他說： 禍哉！迦勒底人，你增添不屬自己的財物， 多多取人的當頭，要到幾時為止呢？
7 Do your usurers not instantly rise up, And those shaking you awake, And you have been a spoil to them?
咬傷你的豈不忽然起來， 擾害你的豈不興起， 你就作他們的擄物嗎？
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.
因你搶奪許多的國，殺人流血， 向國內的城並城中一切居民施行強暴， 所以各國剩下的民都必搶奪你。
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,
為本家積蓄不義之財、 在高處搭窩、指望免災的有禍了！
10 You have counseled a shameful thing to your house, To cut off many peoples, and your soul [is] sinful.
你圖謀剪除多國的民，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.
牆裏的石頭必呼叫； 房內的棟樑必應聲。
12 Woe [to] him who is building a city by blood, And establishing a city by iniquity.
以人血建城、 以罪孽立邑的有禍了！
13 Behold, is it not from YHWH of Hosts And peoples are fatigued for fire, And nations for vanity are weary?
眾民所勞碌得來的被火焚燒， 列國由勞乏而得的歸於虛空， 不都是出於萬軍之耶和華嗎？
14 For the earth is full of the knowledge of the glory of YHWH, As the waters cover over a sea.
認識耶和華榮耀的知識要充滿遍地， 好像水充滿洋海一般。
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.
給人酒喝、又加上毒物、 使他喝醉、好看見他下體的有禍了！
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.
你滿受羞辱，不得榮耀； 你也喝吧，顯出是未受割禮的！ 耶和華右手的杯必傳到你那裏； 你的榮耀就變為大大地羞辱。
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.
你向黎巴嫩行強暴與殘害 驚嚇野獸的事必遮蓋你； 因你殺人流血， 向國內的城並城中一切居民施行強暴。
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，人將它刻出來， 有甚麼益處呢？ 鑄造的偶像就是虛謊的師傅。 製造者倚靠這啞巴偶像有甚麼益處呢？
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.
對木偶說：醒起！ 對啞巴石像說：起來！那人有禍了！ 這個還能教訓人嗎？ 看哪，是包裹金銀的，其中毫無氣息。
20 And YHWH [is] in His holy temple, Be silent before Him, all the earth!”
惟耶和華在他的聖殿中； 全地的人都當在他面前肅敬靜默。
