< Habakkuk 2 >

1 Upon my watch-tower, will I stand, and will station myself upon the bulwark, —so will I keep outlook, to see—what he will speak with me, and what I shall reply, when I am reproved.
Es stāvu uz vakts un kāpju tornī un skatos, lai redzu, ko Viņš man sacīs, un ko man būs atbildēt uz manu sūdzību.
2 Then Yahweh answered me, and said, Write the vision, Yea, make it plain on tablets, that one may swiftly read it;
Un Tas Kungs man atbildēja un sacīja: raksti to parādīšanu un uzraksti to uz galdiem, ka to var viegli lasīt.
3 For yet is the vision for an appointed time, still, it presseth towards an end, and will not deceive, —if it tarry, wait thou for it, for it, surely cometh, —will not be too late.
Tai parādīšanai ir savs noliktais laiks un tā steidzās uz galu un nevils; jebšu tā gan kavējās, tomēr gaidi, jo tā nāktin nāks un nepaliks nepiepildīta.
4 Lo! as for the conceited one, crooked is his soul within him, - but, one who is righteous, by his faithfulness, shall live.
Redzi, dvēsele viņam ir pārgalvīga un netaisna, bet taisnais dzīvos caur savu ticību.
5 Moreover also, when wine betrayeth, a man, is arrogant, and findeth no rest, —because he hath enlarged, like hades, his desire, yea, he, is like death, and cannot be satisfied, —but hath gathered unto himself, all the nations, and assembled unto himself, all the peoples. (Sheol h7585)
Un turklāt kā viltīgs vīns ir lepns vīrs; tas nepastāv; tas atpleš savu dvēseli platu kā elli, un kā nāve tas nav pieēdināms; tas rauj pie sevis visas tautas un sakrāj pie sevis visus ļaudis. (Sheol h7585)
6 Shall not, these, all of them, against him, take up—a taunt, a mocking poem, enigmatical sentences—concerning him? And say—Alas! for him who maketh abundance in what is not his own, How long? that he should be burdening himself with heavy debts?
Vai tad šie visi par to neuzņems sakāmu vārdu un mīklu un dziesmas par to? Un tie sacīs: vai tam, kas savu padomu vairo ar svešu mantu, - cik ilgi tas būs? Un uzkrauj sev smagus parādus.
7 Will not thy creditors, suddenly rise up? and they who shall violently shake thee, all at once become active? Then shalt thou serve for booties, unto them!
Vai tad nejauši necelsies tavi parādu dzinēji un neuzmodīsies tavi spaidītāji? Un tu viņiem tapsi par laupījumu.
8 Because, thou, hast plundered many nations, all the residue of the peoples, shall plunder thee, —for shedding Human blood, and doing violence to the earth, to the city, and to all who dwell therein.
Tāpēc ka tu daudz tautas esi aplaupījis, tad visas atlikušās tautas tevi aplaupīs, cilvēku asiņu dēļ un tā varas darba dēļ pie zemes, pie pilsētām un pie visiem viņu iedzīvotājiem.
9 Alas! for him who extorteth an extortion of wrong for his own house, —that he may set on high his nest, that he may be delivered from the grasp of calamity.
Vai tam, kas netaisnu mantu krāj savam namam, ka savu ligzdu taisa augstā vietā, lai no ļaunuma izglābjās.
10 Thou hast counseled shame to thy house—making an end of many peoples, and endangering thine own life.
Kauna lietu tu esi izdomājis savam namam, izdeldēdams daudz ļaužu; tā tu esi grēkojis pret savu dvēseli.
11 Surely, the stone out of the wall, will make outcry, —and, the tie out of the timber, will answer it.
Jo akmens mūrī brēks un baļķis griestos viņam atbildēs.
12 Alas! for him who buildeth a city with deeds of blood, —and establisheth a town with perversity.
Vai tam, kas pilsētas uzceļ ar asinīm un kas pilis uztaisa ar netaisnību!
13 Lo! is it not from Yahweh of hosts—that peoples labour for fire, and, populations, for emptiness, weary themselves?
Redzi, vai tas nav no Tā Kunga Cebaot, ka ļaudis strādā priekš uguns un tautas darbojās velti?
14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Yahweh, —as, the waters, cover the sea.
Jo zeme taps piepildīta ar Tā Kunga godības atzīšanu, kā ūdens apklāj jūras dibenu.
15 Alas! for him who causeth his neighbour to drink, from the goblet of thy fury, and also, making him drunk, —to the end thou mayest gloat over their parts of shame.
Vai tam, kas savu tuvāku dzirdina, Tavas dusmas piejaukdams, un viņu piedzirdina, ka var redzēt viņa plikumu!
16 Thou art sated with contempt, more than glory, drink, thou too, and expose thy person, —the cup of the right hand of Yahweh, shall come round unto thee, and ignominious filth be upon thy glory;
Tu esi pieēdināts ar kaunu, ne ar godu. Dzer tu arīdzan un atklāji priekšādu! Tā Kunga labās rokas biķeris griezīsies pie tevis un negods nāks pār tavu godību.
17 For, the violence [done] to Lebanon, shall cover thee, and wasting by wild beasts shall cause them terror, —for shedding Human blood, and doing violence to the earth, to the city, and to all who dwell therein.
Jo tas varas darbs pie Lībanus tevi apklās, un tā zvēru izskaušana, ar ko tu tos iztraucējis, to cilvēku asiņu dēļ un tā varas darba dēļ pie zemes, pie pilsētām un pie visiem viņu iedzīvotājiem.
18 What hath a carved image, profited, though the fashioner thereof, carved it? a molten image, and a teacher of falsehood, —though the fashioner of his fashioned thing trusted therein? that men should make Dumb Nonentities!
Ko tad palīdzēs tēls, ka griezējs to izgriezis, un lieta bilde un melu mācītājs, un ka tēlotājs paļaujas uz savu tēlu un taisa mēmus dievekļus?
19 Alas! for him who saith to wood, Awake, bestir thee! to a silent stone, he, shall teach! Though he is overlaid with gold and silver, yet, no spirit whatsoever, is in him!
Vai tam, kas uz koku saka: uzmosties! - un uz mēmo akmeni: celies! Vai tas varētu mācīt? Redzi, tas ir aplikts ar zeltu un sudrabu, bet dvašas iekš viņa nav.
20 Howbeit, Yahweh, is in his holy temple, —Hush before him, all the earth.
Bet Tas Kungs ir savā svētā namā; ciet klusu viņa priekšā, visa pasaule!
