< Habakkuk 2 >

1 [After I said that, I said to myself, ] “I will climb up into my watchtower, and stand there at my guard post. I will wait there to find out what Yahweh will say, what he will reply to what I have complained about.”
Na da na sosodo aligisu diasu gagagula heda: i amoba: le heda: le, Hina Gode da nama adi hamoma: ne sia: ma: bela: le amola na Ema egane sia: ne iasu dabe adi sia: ma: bela: le ouligimu.
2 Then Yahweh replied to me, “Write plainly on tablets [what I am revealing to you in] this vision, [and then read it to a messenger] in order that he can run with it [to tell it to] other people.
Hina Gode da nama dabe agoane adole i, “Na dima dabe adole iabe amo laga osoboga hamoi da: fe amo da: iya, dunu ilia hedolodafa ba: le dawa: ma: ne, noga: ledafa dedema.
3 In this vision [I will be talking about things that will happen] in the future. Now is not the time when those things will happen, but they certainly will happen, and when they occur, they will occur quickly, and they will not be delayed. Now you [want those things to happen immediately, but] they are not happening. But wait patiently for them [to happen]!
Dedema fawane! Bai Na ilegei eso da wali hame doaga: i. Be amo eso da hedolo doaga: mu amola na dima olelemu liligi da dafawane doaga: mu. Dilia da amo ea misunu da gebewane misunu dawa: mu. Be amo doaga: ma: ne ouligima! Amo hou da dafawanedafa doaga: mu amola dulilamu da hamedei.
4 Think about the proud [people of Babylonia]! They are certainly not doing what is righteous. But people who are righteous will live because they faithfully [do what I want them to do].
Sia: ne iasu da agoane, ‘Wadela: i hamosu dunu da hame fifi ahoanumu. Be moloidafa dunu da fifi ahoanumu. Bai ilia da mae fisili, Godema dafawaneyale dawa: sa.’”
5 If people [trust in their wealth], they will deceive themselves, and proud people are never able to rest. [It is as though] the greedy people [of Babylonia open their mouths] as wide as the place where dead people are, and they never have enough, like [the place where] dead people go never has enough dead people [PRS]. The [armies of Babylonia] conquer many nations for themselves, and capture all their people. (Sheol h7585)
Bagade gagui hou da ogogosu agoane. Uwasu dunu da gasa fili, helefisu hame dawa: Ilia da bogosu defele-sadisu hame dawa: Amaiba: le, ilisu gagumusa: , fifi asi gala hasalili, mae fisili, eno amola eno agoane hasalimusa: ahoa. (Sheol h7585)
6 But [soon] all those [whom they have captured] will ridicule [the soldiers from Babylonia]! They will make fun of them, saying, ‘Terrible things will happen to you who have stolen things [from other countries]! You got many things by forcing people to give them to you. [But you certainly will not keep those things] for a long time [RHQ]!’
Dunu amo da enoga hasanasi ilia da ilima hasanasi dunu ilima ilia higale ba: su hou olemu. Ilia da amane sia: mu, “Dilia da eno dunu ilia liligi amo udigili lasa. Be dilia da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu. Habowali seda dilia da dunu amo da dilima dabe imunu gala, amo hedolo ima: ne gasa fili lamusa: logema: bela: ?”
7 Suddenly those whom you (oppressed/treated cruelly) will cause you to tremble, and they will take away all the things that you have stolen from them.
Be amo esoga, dilia da hame dawa: amoga, dilia gagui huluane da fisi dagoi ba: mu amola eno dunu da dilima muni bu baligiliwane lama: ne dilima imunu. Ilia da nedigili, dima doagala: musa: masea, amola dilia da beda: ga yagugumu. Ilia da dilia liligi huluane samogele lamu.
8 You stole things from the people of many nations. You murdered [MTY] people of many people-groups, and you destroyed their land and their cities. So those who are still alive will steal valuable things from you.
Dilia da fifi asi gala bagohame ilima doagala: le, ilia liligi samogele lai. Amaiba: le, amo fifi asi gala fi dunu hame bogoi esalebe da wa: legadole, dilima doagala: le, dilia liligi samogele lamu. Bai dilia da dunu bagohame medole legei, amola dilia da soge amola moilai bai bagade bagohame wadela: lesili, amo ganodini esalu dunu medole legei dagoi.
9 Terrible things will happen to you [people of Babylonia] who build big houses with money that you got by forcing others to give it to you. You are proud and you think that your houses will be safe because you have built them in places where you can easily defend them.
Dili da gugunufinisi dagoi ba: mu! Dili da dilia sosogo fi bagade gaguiwane esaloma: ne, gasa fili, gegene nimi sa: ili, inia ea liligi doagala: le lai. Dili da dilia fifi lasu amo hahawane amola gaga: iwane hamomusa: dawa: i galu.
10 But because you have destroyed others, you have caused your family [MTY] to be shamed/disgraced, and you yourselves will be killed.
Be dili da agoane ilegeiba: le, dilia sosogo fi da gogosiasu lai dagoi. Dili da fifi asi gala bagohame gugunufinisibiba: le, dilia fifi asi da gugunufinisi dagoi ba: mu.
11 [It is as though] the stones in the walls [of your houses] cry out to accuse you, and [it is as though] the beams [in your ceilings] also say the same things.
Igi dobea damana amolawane da dilima higale welala, amola sa di da amo wesu gobagala: mu.
12 Terrible things will happen to you [people of Babylonia] who kill people [MTY] in order to build cities, cities that you build by using money that you have gotten by committing crimes.
Dili da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu! Dili da wadela: i hamosu bai amo da: iya moilai bai bagade gagui, amola amo moilai bai bagade gaguluba, fane legesu hou fawane hamonanu.
13 But the Commander of the armies of angels has [RHQ] declared that everything that is built by people who do things like that [will be destroyed by] fire; they will have worked hard uselessly.
Dili da fifi asi gala bagohame hasali dagoi. Amola amo fifi asi gala dunu da udigili hawa: hamonanebeba: le, gufia: i dagoi ba: i. Ilia gagui huluane da laluga nei dagoi. Hina Gode Bagadedafa da amo hou huluane hamoi dagoi.
14 But [in contrast], like [SIM] the oceans are filled with water, the earth will be filled with [people who] know that Yahweh is very great.
Be hano wayabo bagade da hano amoga nabai, amo defele, osobo bagade fifi asi gala huluanedafa da Hina Gode Ea hadigi hou dawa: su, amoga nabai ganumu.
15 Terrible things will happen to you [people of Babylonia] who cause people who live in nearby countries to become drunk. You force them to drink a lot of wine from wineskins [until they are drunk and then they walk around] naked, in order that you can see that.
Dili da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu! Dili da ougi bagadeba: le, dilia na: iyado fifi lai amo gogosiama: ne amola fonobonesima: ne hamoi dagoi. Dilia hamobeba: le, ilia da adini ba: i dunu defele, feloale asi.
16 But you are the ones who [soon] will be disgraced instead of being honored. [It will be as though you are forced to] drink [a lot of wine] in order that you will also stagger [around, drunk]. You will drink the wine [that symbolizes that Yahweh will punish you], and he will cause you to be disgraced instead of being greatly respected [any more].
Dili amolawane da dilima nodosu fisili, gogosiasu amoga dedeboi dagoi ba: mu. Dili dilisu da adini nanu, feloale masunu. Dili da dunu enoma, se dabe bagadedafa i. Amo se iasu defele, Hina Gode da dilima se dabe imunu. Amola dilima nodosu da afadenene, dilima gogosiasu fawane ba: mu.
17 You did violent [PRS] things to [the people in] Lebanon, and you killed the wild animals [there], but you will be punished severely for doing that. You have killed [MTY] many people and you have destroyed their lands and their cities.
Dili da Lebanone iwila abusa: i dagoi. Wali dili da hedofai dagoi ba: mu. Dili da Lebanone iwilaga ohe fi fane legei. Wali sigua ohe fi da dilima doagala: beba: le, dili da baligili beda: mu. Bai dili da fane legesu hou bagade hamoi dagoi, amola osobo bagade fifi asi gala dunu ilima, amola ilia moilai bai bagade amoma gegene nimi sa: i dagoi.
18 [You people of Babylonia need to know that your] idols are completely [RHQ] useless, because it is people who made them. Statues that have been carved or made in a mold deceive you. Those who trust in idols are trusting in things that they themselves created, things that cannot speak!
Loboga hamoi ‘gode’ da hamedei liligi. Osobo bagade dunu fawane da amo liligi hamosa. Amola amo liligi da ogogosu fawane olelesa. Amo liligi ea hahamosu dunu da e dafawaneyale dawa: sea, amo da e fidima: bela: ? Hame mabu! Amo ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi da sia: mu hamedei.
19 Terrible things will happen to you who say to lifeless idols that are made of wood, ‘Wake up!’ Idols certainly cannot [RHQ] tell you what you should do; they [look nice/beautiful because] they are covered with silver and gold, but they are not alive.
Dili da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu! Dili da ifa daba: amoma, “Nedigima!” sia: sa. Amola gele sua: i amoma, “Wa: legadoma!” sia: sa. Loboga hamoi ogogosu ‘gode’ da dilima liligi afae olelemu defele ganabela: ? Hame mabu! E da silifa amola gouli amoga dedeboi dagoi. Be amo ganodini esalusu da hame ba: sa.
20 But Yahweh is in his holy temple; everyone on the earth should be silent in his presence.”
Hina Gode da Ea Hadigi Debolo Diasu ganodini esala. Osobo bagade fifi asi gala dunu huluane da Ea midadi ouiya: le amola asabole esaloma: mu.
