Habakkuk 2
1 I will stand at my guard post and station myself on the watchtower, and I will watch carefully to see what he will say to me and how I should turn from my complaint.
Mwen va kanpe sou pòs gad mwen, e mwen va pran pozisyon sou ranpa a. Mwen va veye san rete pou wè ki sa Li va pale avèk mwen, ak jan pou m ta reponn, selon plent mwen pote bay L.
2 Yahweh answered me and said, “Record this vision, and write plainly on the tablets so that the one reading them might run.
Konsa SENYÈ a te reponn mwen. Li te di: “Ekri vizyon an e montre li klè sou tablo, pou (sila) k ap kouri a, ka li l.
3 For the vision is yet for a future time and will finally speak and not fail. Though it delays, wait for it. For it will surely come and will not tarry.
Paske vizyon an toujou pou lè deziye a. La p pwoche vit pou rive nan bi li, ni li p ap fè fayit. Menmsi li fè reta, tann li; paske anverite, li va vini. Li p ap fè mize.
4 Look! The one whose desires are not right within him is puffed up. But the righteous will live by his faith.
Gade byen, kè l anfle. Nanm li pa dwat anndan l, men moun dwat la va viv pa lafwa li.
5 For wine is a betrayer of the arrogant young man so that he will not abide, but enlarges his desire like the grave and, like death, is never satisfied. He gathers to himself every nation and gathers up for himself all of the peoples. (Sheol h7585)
Anplis, diven devwale yon moun ògeye, ki pa rete lakay li. L ap ogmante apeti li tankou Sejou mò a. Epi konsa, li menm, tankou lanmò a, pa kapab satisfè. Li rasanble a li menm tout nasyon yo, e li ranmase tout pèp yo a li menm. (Sheol h7585)
6 Will not all these create a saying to ridicule him and a taunting song about him, saying, 'Woe to the one increasing what is not his! For how long will you increase the weight of the pledges you have taken?'
“Èske tout moun sa yo p ap Leve yon chan mokè kont li, yon tire pwen kont li pou di: “Malè a (sila) ki ogmante sa ki pa pou li— pou jiskilè l ap fè tèt li rich ak chantay li yo?”
7 Will the ones biting at you not rise up suddenly, and the ones terrifying you awaken? You will become a victim for them.
Èske moun ki dwe w yo p ap leve sibitman? Èske yo p ap vin souleve? Anverite, ou va vin piyaj pou yo.
8 Because you have plundered many peoples, all the remnant of the peoples will plunder you. For you have shed human blood and acted with violence against the land, the cities, and all who live in them.
Akoz ou te piyaje anpil nasyon, tout retay pèp yo va piyaje ou. L ap konsa, akoz tout san moun ki vèse ak vyolans ki fèt nan peyi a, nan vil la, ak tout moun ki rete ladann yo.
9 'Woe to the one who carves out evil gains for his house, so he can set his nest on high to keep himself safe from the hand of evil.'
“Malè a (sila) ki jwenn avantaj malonèt pou lakay li a, pou mete nich li byen wo, pou l ta ka delivre soti nan men a gwo malè!
10 You have devised shame for your house by cutting off many people, and have sinned against yourself.
Ou te machinen yon gwo wont pou lakay ou nan detwi anpil pèp. Konsa, ou te peche kont pwòp nanm ou.
11 For the stones will cry out from the wall, and the rafters of timber will answer them,
Anverite, wòch la va kriye soti nan mi an, e poto travès la va reponn li.
12 'Woe to the one who builds a city with blood, and who establishes a town in iniquity.'
“Malè a (sila) ki bati yon vil ak san vèse, e ki fonde yon vil ak inikite!
13 Is it not from Yahweh of hosts that peoples labor for fire and all the other nations weary themselves for nothing?
Anverite, èske sa pa soti nan SENYÈ dèzame yo pou moun travay di pou dife a, e nasyon yo fatige kò yo pou granmesi?
14 Yet the land will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Yahweh as the waters cover the sea.
Paske latè va ranpli ak konesans ak laglwa SENYÈ a, tankou dlo kouvri lanmè.
15 'Woe to the one who forces his neighbors to drink— you express your anger over and you make them drunk in order to look at their nakedness.'
“Malè a ou menm k ap fòse vwazen ou bwè, k ap mele gwòg pa w ladann, menm pou fè yo sou, pou gade toutouni yo!
16 You will be filled with shame instead of glory. Now it is your turn! Drink, and you will expose your uncircumcised foreskin! The cup in Yahweh's right hand is coming around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory.
Ou plen ak wont san onè. Konsa, ou va bwè ou menm e dekouvri pwòp toutouni pa ou. Tas nan men dwat SENYÈ a va vire tou won pou rive kote ou, e wont total va ranplase laglwa ou.
17 The violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you and the destruction of animals will terrify you. For you have shed human blood and you have acted with violence against the land, the cities, and all who live in them.
Paske vyolans ki fèt Liban an va fè ou plonje desann, ansanm ak destriksyon a bèt va bay ou gwo laperèz; akoz de san vèse a moun ak vyolans tè a, nan chak vil la ak tout (sila) ki rete ladann yo.
18 What does the carved figure profit you? For the one who has carved it, or who casts a figure from molten metal, is a teacher of lies; for he trusts his own handiwork when he makes these mute gods.
“Ki pwofi ki gen nan zidòl la, lè mèt li fin taye l? Swa yon imaj, fome pa yonpwofesè k ap bay manti? Paske (sila) menm ki te fè l la mete konfyans li nan pwòp zèv li a, lè l fòme zidòl ki bebe.
19 'Woe to the one saying to the wood, Wake up! Or to the silent stone, Arise!' Do these things teach? See, it is overlaid with gold and silver, but there is no breath at all within it.
Malè a (sila) ki di a yon mòso bwa: ‘Leve!”, a yon wòch ki pa ka pale: “Kanpe!” Èske se (sila) a ki ka enstwi? Men gade byen, li kouvri nèt ak lò ak ajan, e pa gen okenn souf ladann.
20 But Yahweh is in his holy temple! Be silent before him, all the land.”
Men SENYÈ a la nan sen tanp Li. Ke tout tè a fè silans devan Li.”
