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.
Abiro chungʼ kara mar rito kendo abiro bedo ewi kuonde moger motingʼore mag rito. Abiro ngʼicho mondo ane gima obiro wachona, kendo kuom dwoko mabiro chiwo kuom ywagni.
2 YHWH answered me, "Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he who runs may read it.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “Ndik fwenyni kendo iler tiende maber kama indike, mondo jaland wach oring katere.
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.
Nikech fwenyni rito kinde moketi; owuoyo kuom ndalo giko, kendo ok nobed miriambo. Kata obedo ni onyalo deko kapok ochopo, rite arita, adier obiro chopo ma ok odeko.
4 Look, if he holds back, my soul has no pleasure in him, but the righteous will live by faith.
“Ne kaka osungore; dwarone ok nikare. To ngʼat makare nobed mangima kuom yie mare,
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)
chutho, divai momadho ndhoge; en jasunga kendo osiko otimo gik maricho ma ok ool. Nikech owuor ka liel mamuonyo ji kendo kaka tho ok rom e kaka en bende ok orom, ochoko ogendini duto mondo obi ire, kendo omako ji duto wasumbini. (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?'
“To donge jogi biro kwede ka ngʼongʼone kendo jare kawacho niya, “‘Inine malit in ngʼama choko gik mokwal kendo mabedo ja-mwandu gi gige mecho. Nyaka karangʼo ma gigi nodhi nyime katimore?’
7 Won't your debtors rise up suddenly, and wake up those who make you tremble, and you will be their victim?
To donge jogopeu biro poyou? Donge gibiro chiewo ma gimi utetni? Eka unubed wasumbinigi.
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.
Nikech useyako ogendini mangʼeny, joma odongʼ biro mayou. Nimar usechwero remb dhano, useketho pinje, mier madongo kod ji duto manie igi.
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.
“Ngʼat mayudo mwandu gi yore ma ok owinjore none malit kendo ogero ode kama otingʼore gi malo, mondo otony ne kethruok!
10 You have devised shame to your house, by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against your soul.
Isechano kethruok mar ogendini mangʼeny, ma osemiyo odi owuon wichkuot kendo iwito ngimani.
11 For the stone will cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the woodwork will answer it.
Kite mag kor ot noywagnu matek to yiend tado nokow ywagno.
12 Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity.
“Ngʼat magero dalane gi remo kendo guro dala maduongʼ gi gige mecho enone malit!
13 Look, isn't it of YHWH of hosts that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
Donge Jehova Nyasaye Maratego osechiko ni tije ogendini maricho biro bedo ramok mach, ogendini tiyo ma ol kayiem nono?
14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of YHWH, as the waters cover the sea.
Nimar piny biro pongʼ gi ngʼeyo mar duongʼ Jehova Nyasaye kaka pi kwako nam.
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.
“Enone malit ngʼat mamiyo jobathe math, ka omedogi ameda nyaka gimer, mondo one dug-gi.
16 You are filled with shame, and not glory. You will also drink, and be exposed. The cup of YHWH's right hand will come around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory.
Wichkuot nomaki kar bedo gi pak. Koro en kindeni mar mer! Methi kendo dongʼ duk! Okombe moa e lwet Jehova Nyasaye ma korachwich bironi, kendo wichkuot biro umo duongʼ ma in-go.
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.
Timbe mahundu ma isetimone Lebanon nonyori kendo le mane inego marach biro miyi bwok. Nimar isechwero remb dhano, iseketho pinje gi mier madongo, kendo gi ji duto manie igi.
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?
“En ohala manade miyudo kuom nyiseche manono nimar dhano ema opayogi? Kata kido mapuonjo miriambo? Ngʼat malose oketo genone, kuom gima oloso owuon; oloso nyiseche manono ma ok nyal wuoyo.
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.
Enone malit ngʼat mawachone yien ni, ‘Bed mangima!’ Kata ni kite maonge ngima ni, ‘Chiew!’ Bende gik ma kamago dingʼadnu rieko? Kata obedo ni obawgi gi dhahabu gi fedha; to gionge gi ngima nikech gin gik motho.”
20 But YHWH is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him."
To Jehova Nyasaye nitie e hekalune maler; piny duto mondo olingʼ e nyime.
