Habakkuk 2
1 I WILL stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will look forth to see what he will speak with me, and what I shall answer concerning my complaint.
Kale ndiyimirira mu kifo kyange we ntera okubeera ntunule nga ndi waggulu eyo ku ggulumu nnindirire ky’aliŋŋamba, era ne kye ndimuddamu ekikwata ku kwemulugunya kw’abantu.
2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
Awo Mukama n’anziramu n’ayogera nti, “Wandiika okwolesebwa okwo ku bipande. Kuwandiike bulungi ate omubaka gwe banaatuma, akutwale bunnambiro.
3 For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hasteth toward the end, and shall not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay.
Kubanga okwolesebwa okwo kujja mu kiseera kyakwo ekigere. Kwogera ku by’enkomerero ate si kwa bulimba. Bwe kunaaba ng’okuluddewo, mukulindirire, kujja kutuukirira, tekugya kulwa.
4 Behold, his soul is puffed up, it is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
“Laba oyo ow’emmeeme eteri nnongoofu wa kugwa, naye omutuukirivu aliba mulamu olw’obwesigwa bwe.”
5 Yea, moreover, wine is a treacherous dealer, a haughty man, and that keepeth not at home; who enlargeth his desire as hell, and he is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all peoples. (Sheol h7585)
Weewaawo, omwenge mulimba guleetera omuntu amalala, ate taguwummulako. Ate olwokubanga gwa mululu ng’emagombe, mu butakkuta gufaanana okufa. Era okufaanana ng’olumbe, tegukkuta, amawanga gonna gugeekuŋŋanyizaako ne gugafuula abasibe. (Sheol h7585)
6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and that ladeth himself with pledges!
“Bano bonna si be balimugererako engero bamusekerere nga bagamba nti, “‘Zimusanze oyo eyeyongeza ebitali bibye! Oyo eyeetuumako obugagga obuva mu nguzi!’
7 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
Abakubanja tebalikuyimukirako nga tomanyiridde, era tebalizuukuka ne bakweraliikiriza? Oliba togudde mu mikono gyabwe?
8 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the peoples shall spoil thee; because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all that dwell therein.
Kubanga onyaze amawanga mangi, abantu abasigaddewo balikunyaga; Oyiye omusaayi gw’abantu, n’oyonoona ensi n’ebibuga n’abantu bonna ababibeeramu.”
9 Woe to him that getteth an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil!
Zimusanze oyo azimbira amaka ge ku bikolwa ebibi, azimba ekisu kye waggulu, okwekuuma obutatuukwako kabi!
10 Thou hast consulted shame to thy house, by cutting off many peoples, and hast sinned against thy soul.
Wategeka okuzikirira kw’abantu bangi, n’oswaza ennyumba yo ne weefiiriza obulamu bwo.
11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
Amayinja g’oku bbugwe galikaaba, n’emikiikiro gy’ebibajje girikyasanguza.
12 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!
Zimusanze oyo azimba ekibuga n’omusaayi, atandika ekibuga n’obutali butuukirivu.
13 Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the peoples labour for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
Tekyategekebwa Mukama ow’Eggye nti okutegana kw’abantu nku buku za muliro, n’amawanga geemalamu ensa olw’ebintu ebitaliimu?
14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
Kubanga ensi erijjula okumanya ekitiibwa kya Mukama, ng’amazzi bwe ganjaala ku nnyanja.
15 Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that addest thy venom [thereto], and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
Zimusanze oyo awa baliraanwa be ekitamiiza n’akibafukira okuva mu kita n’abawa banywe okutuusa lwe batamiira asobole okutunuulira ensonyi zaabwe!
16 Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and be as one uncircumcised: the cup of the LORD’S right hand shall be turned unto thee, and foul shame shall be upon thy glory.
Olijjuzibwa ensonyi mu kifo ky’ekitiibwa. Naawe olinywa n’oswala. Ekikompe eky’omu mukono gwa Mukama ogwa ddyo kirikyusibwa kidde gy’oli, n’ensonyi ez’obuwemu zisaanikire ekitiibwa kyo.
17 For the violence done to Lebanon shall cover thee, and the destruction of the beasts, which made them afraid; because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all that dwell therein.
Ebikolwa eby’obukambwe bye watuusa ku Lebanooni, n’okutta ensolo, birikutiisa. Osse abantu n’ozikkiriza ensi n’ebibuga n’abantu ababibeeramu.
18 What profiteth the graven image, that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and the teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
“Ekifaananyi ekyole kigasa ki? Anti kibajje bubazzi. Oba ekifaananyi eky’ekyuma, ekisomesa obulimba? Kubanga omuweesi yeesiga mirimu gya mikono gye nga akola ebifaananyi ebitayogera!
19 Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise! Shall this teach? Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
Zimusanze oyo agamba omuti nti, ‘Lamuka;’ agamba ejjinja nti, ‘Golokoka!’ Kino kisobola okuluŋŋamya? Kibikiddwa zaabu ne ffeeza, so tekiriimu bulamu n’akatono.
20 But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
Naye Mukama ali mu yeekaalu ye entukuvu: ensi zonna zisiriikirire mu maaso ge.”
