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.
Nga ac fanyak nu fin tower in soan luk, ac tupan lah mea LEUM GOD El ac sap nga in fahk, ac top fuka El ac oru nu ke torkaskas luk.
2 And YHWH answers me and says: “Write a vision, and explain on the tablets, That he may run who is reading it.
Pa inge top ma LEUM GOD El ase nu sik. El fahk, “Simusla ma nga ac akkalemye nu sum inge fin eot kle in arulana kalem, mwet uh in mau ku in ngetang na liye ac kalem kac.
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.
Simusla ma inge mweyen soenna pacl in sikyak. Tusruktu in pacl na sa, ma nga akkalemye nu sum uh ac fah akpwayeiyuk. Sahp ac nunkeyuk mu ac paht in tuku, tusruktu soano na. Pwayena lah ac sikyak — ac fah tia kohtla nwe tok.
4 Behold, a presumptuous one! His soul is not upright within him, And the righteous lives by his faith.
Pa inge kas sac: ‘Elos su koluk elos ac tia painmoulla, a elos su suwosna fah moul mweyen elos inse pwaye nu sin God.’”
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)
Kasrup uh kiapwekutla. Mwet rapku uh elos orek funmwet ac koflana okaki — elos oana fulan misa, tia ku in muti. Pa sis elos srike in mweun ac eisla mutunfacl puspis nu selos sifacna. (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?
Mwet sruoh uh ac fah israsrinkusrai mwet ma sruokolosi, ac akkalemye sulung lalos ac fahk, “Kowos eis ma su tia ma lowos; tusruktu ac kunausyukla kowos! Kowos ac oru ange nwe ngac, in eis kasrpowos ke funmwet selos su srakna akfalye soemoul la nu suwos?”
7 Do your usurers not instantly rise up, And those shaking you awake, And you have been a spoil to them?
Tusruktu ac tiana paht, kowos su sruokya mwet saya ac fah oasr pac soemoul lowos, na ac fah oasr sap ku nu suwos in akfalye soemoul lowos wi ma laesla. Mwet lokoalok fah tuku ac oru kowos in rarrar ke sangeng. Elos ac fah utyak nu in acn suwos ac eisla ma nukewa lowos!
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.
Kowos muta eis ma lun mwet fin mutunfacl puspis, na inge elos su painmoulla fah eisla ma lowos ke sripen akmas ac lokoalok kowos oru nu sin mwet faclu ac siti selos.
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,
We nu suwos! Kowos akkasrupye sou lowos sifacna ke ma kowos eisla ke funmwet, ac srike in oakiya lohm suwos yen wangin mwe lokoalok fah sun!
10 You have counseled a shameful thing to your house, To cut off many peoples, and your soul [is] sinful.
A inkanek koluk lowos an akmwekinye sou lowos. Ke kowos kunausla mutunfacl puspis, kowos pwanma ongoiya nu fowos sifacna.
11 For a stone cries out from the wall, And a beam from the wood answers it.
Finne eot ke kalkal uh elos wowoyak pac lain kowos, ac loaloa in lohm uh etai pusren wowo lun eot uh.
12 Woe [to] him who is building a city by blood, And establishing a city by iniquity.
We nu suwos! Kowos oakiya sie siti fin ma koluk, ac musaela ke akmas.
13 Behold, is it not from YHWH of Hosts And peoples are fatigued for fire, And nations for vanity are weary?
Mwet in acn ma kowos kutangla elos kemkatu ke wangin mweyen ma nukewa elos musaela firiryak. LEUM GOD Kulana pa oru ma inge.
14 For the earth is full of the knowledge of the glory of YHWH, As the waters cover over a sea.
Tusruktu faclu ac fah arulana sessesla ke eteyen wolana lun LEUM GOD oana ke meoa uh sessesla ke kof.
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.
We nu suwos! Kowos akpusiselye ac aklusrongtenye mwet tulan lowos in kasrkusrak lowos, ac kowos oru elos tukulkul oana elos in sruhi.
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.
Ke ma inge, kowos ac fah apinyukla ke mwekin ac tia ke akfulat. Kowos sifacna ac fah nimnim ac tukulkul. LEUM GOD El ac fah oru tuh kowos in nim ke cup in kalyei lowos sifacna, na akfulat nu suwos ac fah ekla nu ke akmwekin.
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.
Kowos tuh pakiya insak in Lebanon; inge ac fah pakpuki kowos. Kowos onela kosro in acn we; inge kosro ac fah aklangingye kowos. Ma inge ac sikyak ke sripen akmas ma kowos tuh oru, ac ke sripen lokoalok yohk lowos lain mwet faclu ac siti lalos.
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?
Mea, oasr sripen ma sruloala uh? Ma sruloala se ma na orekla ke poun mwet, ac wangin ma el ku in fahk. Mea wo el ac oru nu sin mwet ma oralla uh ku elos in lulalfongel — god na tia ku in kaskas se pa el.
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.
We nu suwos! Kowos fahk nu sin sie polosak, “Tukakek!” ku nu sin sie eot, “Tuyak!” Ya sie ma sruloala ku in akkalemye kutena ma? Finne mosrweyukla manol ke silver ac gold, tusruktu wangin moul in el.
20 And YHWH [is] in His holy temple, Be silent before Him, all the earth!”
LEUM GOD El oasr in Tempul mutal lal; lela mwet e nukewa fin faclu in misla ye mutal.
