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.”
На стражата си ще застана, Ще се изправя на кулата, И ще внимавам да видя какво ще ми говори той, И какво да отговоря на изобличителя си.
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.
Господ в отговор ми рече: Напиши видението и изложи го ясно на дъсчици, За да може да се чете бързо.
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]!
Защото видението се отнася към едно определено бъдеще време, Но бърза към изпълнението си, и няма да излъже; Ако и да се бави, чакай го, Защото непременно ще дойде, няма да закъснее.
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].
Ето, душата му се надигна, не е отдън права; А праведният ще живее чрез вярата си.
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)
При това, понеже виното е коварник, Той е високоумен човек, който не мирува, Който разширява охотата си като Шеол, И, като смъртта, не се насища, Но събира при себе си всичките народи, И натрупва при себе си всичките племена. (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]!’
Против такъв няма ли всички тия да съставят притча, И против него присмивателна поговорка? като рекат: Горко на оногова, който натрупва много нещо, което не е негово! - докога? - И който товари себе си със залози!
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.
Няма ли да станат внезапно ония, които ще те хапят чрез лихоимство, И да се повдигнат ония, които ще те правят окаян, Та ти да им станеш за плячка?
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.
Понеже ти обра много народи, Всички останали от племената ще те оберат, Поради кръвта на човеците, И поради насилието, извършено от тебе на земята, На града и на всичките му жители.
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.
Горко на оногова, който придобива неправедна печалба за дома си, За да постави гнездото си на високо, Та да се избави от силата на бедствието!
10 But because you have destroyed others, you have caused your family [MTY] to be shamed/disgraced, and you yourselves will be killed.
Ти си намислил онова, което ще докара срам на дома ти Като си изтребил много племена, И си съгрешил против своята си душа.
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.
Защото камъкът ще извика из стената, И гредата из дървята ще му отговори.
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.
Горко на оногова, който гради град с кръв, И утвърждава град с неправда!
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.
Ето, не е ли от Господа на Силите това, Дето се трудят племената за огъня, И народите се мъчат за суетата?
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.
Защото земята ще бъде пълна Със знанието на славата Господна Както водите покриват морето.
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.
Горко на оногова, който напоява ближния си, - На тебе, който изливаш яростта си, още ги и опиваш, За да гледаш голотата им!
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].
Напълнил си се със срам, а не със слава; Пий и ти, и нека се открие краекожието ти, Чашата на десницата Господна ще се обърне към тебе, И гнусно безчестие ще бъде върху славата ти.
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.
Защото неправдата ти към Ливан ще те покрие, И изтребването на уплашените животни, Поради кръвта на човеците, И насилието, извършено от тебе на земята, На града, и на всичките му жители.
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!
Какво ползва изваяният идол, Та го е изваял художника му? - Или леяният идол, учителят на лъжата, Та уповава творителят му на делото си, Тъй щото да прави неми идоли?
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.
Горко на оногова, който казва На дървото: Събуди се! - На немия камък: Вдигни се! То ли ще го научи? Ето, то е обковано със злато и сребро, И няма никакво дишане в него.
20 But Yahweh is in his holy temple; everyone on the earth should be silent in his presence.”
Но Господ е в светия си храм; Млъкни пред Него, цяла земльо.
