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.
Ndichandomira panzvimbo yangu yokurinda ndichazviisa panzvimbo yakakwirira; ndichatarisa ndione zvaachareva kwandiri uye zvandingapindura pamusoro pokuchema uku.
2 And YHWH answers me and says: “Write a vision, and explain on the tablets, That he may run who is reading it.
Ipapo Jehovha akapindura achiti: “Nyora chiratidzo ichi, uite kuti chionekwe kwazvo pamahwendefa kuti anoverenga agoverenga achimhanya.
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.
Nokuti chiratidzo ichi chakamirira nguva yakatarwa; chinotaura nezvamagumo uye hachingarevi nhema. Kunyange dai chikanonoka, chimirire; zvirokwazvo chichauya, hachizononoki.
4 Behold, a presumptuous one! His soul is not upright within him, And the righteous lives by his faith.
“Tarira, ana manyawi; zvido zvake hazvina kururama, asi akarurama achararama nokutenda kwake.
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)
Zvirokwazvo, waini inomupandukira; anozvikudza uye haazombozorori. Nokuti anokara sezvinoita guva uye sorufu haaguti, anozviunganidzira ndudzi dzose uye anotapa marudzi ose avanhu. (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?
“Ko, vakatapwa vose havangazomuseki here nezvirahwe zvokumushora vachiti, “‘Ane nhamo anozviunganidzira zvakabiwa anozvipfumisa nepfuma yakapambwa! Zvicharamba zvakadai kusvikira riniko?’
7 Do your usurers not instantly rise up, And those shaking you awake, And you have been a spoil to them?
Ko, vamakakwereta havangazosimuki pakarepo here? Havangazomuki vakakuvhundutsai here? Ipapo ndimi muchava vakapambwa.
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.
Nokuti makapamba ndudzi zhinji, vakasara vachakupambai, nokuda kweropa ravanhu ramakateura; makaparadza nyika namaguta pamwe chete navageremo.
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,
“Ane nhamo anovaka umambo hwake nepfuma yakabiwa, achivaka dendere rake pakakwirira, kuti anzvenge kuparadzwa!
10 You have counseled a shameful thing to your house, To cut off many peoples, and your soul [is] sinful.
Makarangana kuparadza ndudzi dzakawanda, muchinyadzisa imba yenyu, uye muchiparadza upenyu hwenyu.
11 For a stone cries out from the wall, And a beam from the wood answers it.
Mabwe ari murusvingo achadanidzira, ipapo matanda edenga remba achadairira namaungira.
12 Woe [to] him who is building a city by blood, And establishing a city by iniquity.
“Ane nhamo anovaka guta nokudeura ropa uye anosimbisa guta nezvakaipa.
13 Behold, is it not from YHWH of Hosts And peoples are fatigued for fire, And nations for vanity are weary?
Tarirai, hazvina kubva kuna Jehovha Wamasimba Ose here kuti vanhu vanoshandira zvinoparadzwa nomoto, uye kuti marudzi avanhu anongozvinetesa nezvisina maturo?
14 For the earth is full of the knowledge of the glory of YHWH, As the waters cover over a sea.
Nokuti nyika yose ichazadzwa nokuziva kubwinya kwaJehovha, sezvakaita mvura kuzadza kwayakaita gungwa.
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.
“Ane nhamo anopa vavakidzani vake zvinodhaka, achizvidurura kubva mumatende ewaini kusvikira vadhakwa, kuti aone kushama kwavo.
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.
Muchazadzwa nenyadzi pachinzvimbo chokukudzwa. Nhasi ndimiwo! Chinwai kuti mudzedzereke! Mukombe unobva kuruoko rwaJehovha rworudyi uri kuuya kwamuri, kunyadziswa kuchafukidza kukudzwa kwenyu.
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.
Nokuti kuita nechisimba kwamakaitira Rebhanoni kuchakukundai, uye kuparadza kwamakaita mhuka kuchakutyisai. Nokuti makateura ropa ravanhu; makaparadza nyika namaguta navose vakanga vageremo!
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?
“Chifananidzo chakavezwa chinobatsireiko, zvachakangogadzirwa nomuvezi? Kana chifananidzo chakaumbwa, chinodzidzisa nhema? Nokuti uyo anochiita anovimba nechaakazviumbira; anoita zvifananidzo zvisingagoni kutaura.
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.
Ane nhamo anoti kudanda, ‘Rarama!’ Kana kubwe risingagoni kutaura, ‘Muka!’ Ko, zvingadzidzisa here? Tarira, chakafukidzwa negoridhe nesirivha; hachina mweya mukati macho napaduku.
20 And YHWH [is] in His holy temple, Be silent before Him, all the earth!”
Asi Jehovha ari mutemberi yake tsvene; nyika yose ngairambe inyerere pamberi pake.”
