Habakkuk 2
1 At post my I will stand and I will take my stand on [the] fortification so I may watch to see what? will he speak by me and what? will I bring back on complaint my.
Nitasimama katika zamu yangu, na kujiweka mwenyewe juu ya maboma; nitatazama nione atakaloniambia, na ni jibu gani nitakalotoa kuhusu lalamiko hili.
2 And he answered me Yahweh and he said write down [the] vision and make [it] clear on the tablets so that he may run [one who] reads it.
Kisha Bwana akajibu: “Andika ufunuo huu, na ukaufanye wazi juu ya vibao, ili mpiga mbiu akimbie nao.
3 For still [the] vision [is] for the appointed time and it will pant to the end and not it will lie if it will delay wait for it for surely it will come not it will delay.
Kwa kuwa ufunuo huu unasubiri wakati uliokubalika; unazungumzia mambo ya mwisho, na kamwe hautakosea. Iwapo utakawia, wewe usubiri; kwa hakika utakuja na hautachelewa.
4 There! it is swollen not it is upright self his in him and [the] righteous by faithfulness his he will live.
“Tazama, amejaa majivuno; anavyovitamani si vya unyofu: lakini mwenye haki ataishi kwa imani yake:
5 And also for wine [is] treacherous a man arrogant and [who] not he stays at home who he has made large like Sheol throat his and he [is] like death and not he is satisfied and he has gathered to himself all the nations and he has assembled to himself all the peoples. (Sheol h7585)
hakika mvinyo humsaliti; ni mwenye kiburi na hana amani. Kwa sababu ni mlafi kama kuzimu na kama kifo kamwe hatosheki; anajikusanyia mataifa yote na kuchukua watu wote mateka. (Sheol h7585)
6 ¿ Not these [nations] all of them on him a saying will they lift up and a mocking song riddles to him so may someone say? woe to! the [one who] increases [that which] not [belongs] to him until when? and [one who] makes heavy on himself pledge[s].
“Je, watu wote hawatamsuta kwa dhihaka na kumbeza, wakisema, “‘Ole wake yeye akusanyaye bidhaa zilizoibwa na kujifanyia utajiri kwa kutoza kwa nguvu! Ataendelea hivi kwa muda gani?’
7 ¿ Not suddenly will they arise [those who] pay interest to you and may they awake? [those who will] make tremble you and you will become plunder for them.
Je, wadai wako hawatainuka ghafula? Je, hawataamka na kukufanya utetemeke? Kisha utakuwa mhanga kwao.
8 For you you have plundered nations many they will plunder you all [the] rest of [the] peoples from [the] blood of humankind and [the] violence of [the] land of [the] town and all [those who] dwell in it.
Kwa kuwa umeteka nyara mataifa mengi, watu waliobaki watakuteka nyara wewe. Kwa kuwa umemwaga damu ya mtu; umeharibu nchi na miji, na kila mmoja ndani yake.
9 Woe to! [one who] gains unjust gain evil for house his to set on the high places nest his to deliver himself from [the] hand of harm.
“Ole wake yeye ajengaye milki yake kwa mapato ya udhalimu, awekaye kiota chake juu, ili kukimbia makucha ya uharibifu!
10 You have planned shame for house your by cutting off peoples many and [you have] sinned self your.
Umefanya shauri la maangamizi ya watu wengi, ukiaibisha nyumba yako mwenyewe, na kupotewa na maisha yako.
11 For a stone from [the] wall it will cry out and a rafter from [the] wood it will answer it.
Mawe ya kuta yatapiga kelele, na mihimili ya kazi ya mbao itarudisha mwangwi wake.
12 Woe to! [one who] builds a city by blood and he establishes a town by injustice.
“Ole wake yeye ajengaye mji kwa kumwaga damu na kuusimamisha mji kwa uhalifu!
13 ¿ [is it] not There! from with Yahweh of hosts so they may labor peoples for [the] sufficiency of fire and nations for [the] sufficiency of vanity they grow weary.
Je, Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote hakuonyesha kwamba kazi ya wanadamu ni mafuta tu kwa ajili ya moto, na kwamba mataifa yanajichosha bure?
14 For it will be filled the earth to know [the] glory of Yahweh like waters [which] they cover over [the] sea.
Kwa kuwa dunia itajazwa na maarifa ya utukufu wa Bwana, kama maji yaifunikavyo bahari.
15 Woe to! [one who] makes drink neighbor his [you are] pouring out rage your and even you make [them] drunk so as to look on nakedness their.
“Ole wake yeye awapaye jirani zake kileo, akiimimina kutoka kwenye kiriba cha mvinyo mpaka wamelewa, ili apate kutazama miili yao iliyo uchi.
16 You are satisfied shame more than honor drink also you and be counted as uncircumcised it will come round to you [the] cup of [the] right [hand] of Yahweh and disgrace [will be] over honor your.
Utajazwa na aibu badala ya utukufu. Sasa ni zamu yako! Kunywa na ujifunue! Kikombe kutoka kwenye mkono wa kuume wa Bwana kinakujia, na aibu itafunika utukufu wako.
17 For [the] violence of Lebanon it will cover you and [the] devastation of animals it will terrify them from [the] blood of humankind and [the] violence of [the] land of [the] town and all [those who] dwell in it.
Ukatili ulioifanyia Lebanoni utakufunika, na uharibifu uliowafanyia wanyama utakutisha. Kwa sababu umemwaga damu ya mtu; umeharibu nchi na miji na kila mmoja aliyeko ndani yake.
18 What? does it profit a carved image that he has carved it [one who] formed it a molten image and [one which] teaches falsehood for he relies [one who] formed form his on it to make idols dumb.
“Sanamu ina thamani gani, kwani mwanadamu ndiye alichonga? Ama kinyago kinachofundisha uongo? Kwa kuwa yeye aliyekitengeneza hutegemea kazi ya mikono yake mwenyewe; hutengeneza sanamu zisizoweza kuzungumza.
19 Woe to! [one who] says to wood wake up! awake to a stone of silence it will it teach? there! it [is] sheathed gold and silver and any breath not [is] within it.
Ole wake yeye auambiaye mti, ‘Uwe hai!’ Ama asemaye na jiwe lisilo na uhai, ‘Amka!’ Je, linaweza kuongoza? Limefunikwa kwa dhahabu na fedha; hakuna pumzi ndani yake.
20 And Yahweh [is] in [the] temple of holiness his hush! from before him all the earth.
Lakini Bwana yuko katika Hekalu lake takatifu; dunia yote na inyamaze mbele yake.”
