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.”
Mobarog ako sa akong nahimutangan isip tigbantay ug gipahiluna ko ang akong kaugalingon sa bantayanang tore, ug magmabinantayon ako kung unsa ang iyang isulti kanako ug kung unsaon ko pagtalikod gikan sa akong sumbong.
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.
Mitubag si Yahweh kanako ug miingon, “Isulat kini nga panan-awon, ug isulat kini sa papan nga bato aron nga modagan ang makabasa niini.
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]!
Kay ang panan-awon alang sa umaabot nga panahon ug mahitabo gayod ug dili mapakyas. Bisan kung malangan kini, hulata gayod kini. Kay moabot gayod kini sa dili madugay.
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].
Tan-awa! Garboso ang tawo nga adunay dili husto nga tinguha. Apan ang matarong magkinabuhi pinaagi sa iyang pagtuo.
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)
Kay maluibon ang bino ngadto sa batan-on nga garboso aron nga dili siya magpabilin, apan mosamot ang iyang tinguha sama sa lubnganan ug sama sa kamatayon nga dili gayod matagbaw. Iyang tigomon ang mga nasod nganha sa iyang kaugalingon ug ang tanang katawhan alang sa iyang kaugalingon. (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]!’
Kay dili ba mahimo kining tanan ug usa ka panultihon aron sa pagpakaulaw kaniya ug usa ka awit aron sa pagbiaybiay kaniya, nga naga-ingon, “Pagkaalaot sa tawo nga nagpalambo sa dili iya! Kay hangtod kanus-a man nimo dugangan ang kabug-aton sa mga panumpa nga imong gikuha?'
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.
Dili ba kaha kalit nga mobarog ang mga tawo nga nagpaak kanimo, ug makamata ang mga nagpalisang kanimo? Mahimo kang makaluluoy ngadto kanila.
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.
Tungod kay giilogan nimo ang daghang katawhan, ilogan ka usab sa tanang nahibilin nga katawhan. Kay nakaula ka ug dugo sa mga tawo ug ikaw ang nagbuhat ug kasamok batok sa yuta, sa mga siyudad, ug sa tanan nga nagpuyo niini.
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.
'Pagkaalaot sa tawo nga nagkulit ug daotan nga pagpamintaha alang sa iyang panimalay, aron mapahiluna niya ang iyang salag sa habog nga dapit aron maluwas siya gikan sa kamot sa daotan.'
10 But because you have destroyed others, you have caused your family [MTY] to be shamed/disgraced, and you yourselves will be killed.
Ikaw ang nagdala ug kaulaw sa imong panimalay pinaagi sa paglaglag sa daghang katawhan, ug nakasala ka batok sa imong kaugalingon.
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.
Kay mosinggit ang mga bato gikan sa bungbong, ug motubag kanila ang mga babag nga kahoy,
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.
'Pagkaalaot sa tawo nga nagtukod ug siyudad pinaagi sa dugo, ug nagtukod ug lungsod sa pagkadaotan.'
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 ba gikan man kang Yahweh nga Labawng Makagagahom nga naningkamot ang katawhan alang sa kalayo ug ang ubang mga nasod naghago sa ilang kaugalingon alang sa walay kapuslanan?
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.
Apan mapuno ang yuta sa kahibalo sa himaya ni Yahweh sama nga gitabonan sa tubig ang dagat.
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.
'Pagkaalaot sa tawo nga nagpainom ug bino sa iyang silingan, ikaw nga nagdugang sa imong hilo aron nga mangahubog (sila) ug aron imong masud-ong ang ilang pagkahubo.'
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].
Mabuhong ka unya sa kaulawan ug dili sa himaya. Inom usab niini, ug ipadayag ang imong pagkahubo. Moabot unya nganha kanimo ang kopa sa tuong kamot ni Yahweh, ug matabonan sa kaulaw ang imong dungog.
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.
Ang kasamok nga gihimo sa Lebanon ug ang kamatay sa mga mananap makapalisang kanimo. Kay nagpaula ka ug dugo sa tawo ug nagbuhat ka ug kasamok batok sa yuta, sa mga siyudad, ug sa tanan nga nagpuyo niini.
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!
Unsa man ang imong makuha sa mga kinulit nga larawan? Kay magtutudlo ug bakak ang tawo nga nagkulit niini, o ang nagporma ug hulagway sa tinunaw nga puthaw; kay nagsalig siya sa kaugalingon niyang binuhat sa dihang gihulma niya kining mga amang nga dios.
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.
'Pagkaalaot sa tawo nga miingon sa kahoy, 'Pagmata! O ngadto sa hilom nga bato, Tindog!' Makatudlo ba kining mga butanga? Tan-awa, gitaplakan kini ug bulawan ug plata, apan wala gayod kini gininhawa.
20 But Yahweh is in his holy temple; everyone on the earth should be silent in his presence.”
Apan anaa si Yahweh sa iyang balaang templo! Paghilom diha sa iyang atubangan, tibuok yuta.”
