Habakkuk 2
1 I will stand at my watch, and set myself on the ramparts, and will look out to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer concerning my complaint.
Mwen va kanpe sou pòs gad mwen, e mwen va pran pozisyon sou ranpa a. Mwen va veye san rete pou wè ki sa Li va pale avèk mwen, ak jan pou m ta reponn, selon plent mwen pote bay L.
2 The LORD answered me, "Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he who runs may read it.
Konsa SENYÈ a te reponn mwen. Li te di: “Ekri vizyon an e montre li klè sou tablo, pou (sila) k ap kouri a, ka li l.
3 For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won't prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come, and it won't delay.
Paske vizyon an toujou pou lè deziye a. La p pwoche vit pou rive nan bi li, ni li p ap fè fayit. Menmsi li fè reta, tann li; paske anverite, li va vini. Li p ap fè mize.
4 Look, if he holds back, my soul has no pleasure in him, but the righteous will live by faith.
Gade byen, kè l anfle. Nanm li pa dwat anndan l, men moun dwat la va viv pa lafwa li.
5 And moreover, wealth is treacherous; a proud man will not endure. He enlarges his desire as Sheol, and he is like death, and can't be satisfied. He gathers all nations to himself, and collects to himself all peoples. (Sheol h7585)
Anplis, diven devwale yon moun ògeye, ki pa rete lakay li. L ap ogmante apeti li tankou Sejou mò a. Epi konsa, li menm, tankou lanmò a, pa kapab satisfè. Li rasanble a li menm tout nasyon yo, e li ranmase tout pèp yo a li menm. (Sheol h7585)
6 Won't all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, 'Woe to him who increases that which is not his, and who enriches himself by extortion. How long?'
“Èske tout moun sa yo p ap Leve yon chan mokè kont li, yon tire pwen kont li pou di: “Malè a (sila) ki ogmante sa ki pa pou li— pou jiskilè l ap fè tèt li rich ak chantay li yo?”
7 Won't your debtors rise up suddenly, and wake up those who make you tremble, and you will be their victim?
Èske moun ki dwe w yo p ap leve sibitman? Èske yo p ap vin souleve? Anverite, ou va vin piyaj pou yo.
8 Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples will plunder you, because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell in it.
Akoz ou te piyaje anpil nasyon, tout retay pèp yo va piyaje ou. L ap konsa, akoz tout san moun ki vèse ak vyolans ki fèt nan peyi a, nan vil la, ak tout moun ki rete ladann yo.
9 Woe to him who gets an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil.
“Malè a (sila) ki jwenn avantaj malonèt pou lakay li a, pou mete nich li byen wo, pou l ta ka delivre soti nan men a gwo malè!
10 You have devised shame to your house, by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against your soul.
Ou te machinen yon gwo wont pou lakay ou nan detwi anpil pèp. Konsa, ou te peche kont pwòp nanm ou.
11 For the stone will cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the woodwork will answer it.
Anverite, wòch la va kriye soti nan mi an, e poto travès la va reponn li.
12 Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity.
“Malè a (sila) ki bati yon vil ak san vèse, e ki fonde yon vil ak inikite!
13 Look, isn't it of the LORD of hosts that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
Anverite, èske sa pa soti nan SENYÈ dèzame yo pou moun travay di pou dife a, e nasyon yo fatige kò yo pou granmesi?
14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
Paske latè va ranpli ak konesans ak laglwa SENYÈ a, tankou dlo kouvri lanmè.
15 "Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink, pouring your inflaming wine until they are drunk, so that you may gaze at their naked bodies.
“Malè a ou menm k ap fòse vwazen ou bwè, k ap mele gwòg pa w ladann, menm pou fè yo sou, pou gade toutouni yo!
16 You are filled with shame, and not glory. You will also drink, and be exposed. The cup of the LORD's right hand will come around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory.
Ou plen ak wont san onè. Konsa, ou va bwè ou menm e dekouvri pwòp toutouni pa ou. Tas nan men dwat SENYÈ a va vire tou won pou rive kote ou, e wont total va ranplase laglwa ou.
17 For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of the animals, which made them afraid; because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, to every city and to those who dwell in them.
Paske vyolans ki fèt Liban an va fè ou plonje desann, ansanm ak destriksyon a bèt va bay ou gwo laperèz; akoz de san vèse a moun ak vyolans tè a, nan chak vil la ak tout (sila) ki rete ladann yo.
18 "What value does the engraved image have, that its maker has engraved it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute idols?
“Ki pwofi ki gen nan zidòl la, lè mèt li fin taye l? Swa yon imaj, fome pa yonpwofesè k ap bay manti? Paske (sila) menm ki te fè l la mete konfyans li nan pwòp zèv li a, lè l fòme zidòl ki bebe.
19 Woe to him who says to the wood, 'Awake.' or to the mute stone, 'Arise.' Shall this teach? Look, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in its midst.
Malè a (sila) ki di a yon mòso bwa: ‘Leve!”, a yon wòch ki pa ka pale: “Kanpe!” Èske se (sila) a ki ka enstwi? Men gade byen, li kouvri nèt ak lò ak ajan, e pa gen okenn souf ladann.
20 But the LORD is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him."
Men SENYÈ a la nan sen tanp Li. Ke tout tè a fè silans devan Li.”
