Habakkuk 2
1 I will stand at my watch and set myself on the ramparts, and will look out to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer concerning my complaint.
Nga ac fanyak nu fin tower in soan luk, ac tupan lah mea LEUM GOD El ac sap nga in fahk, ac top fuka El ac oru nu ke torkaskas luk.
2 The LORD answered me, “Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he who runs may read it.
Pa inge top ma LEUM GOD El ase nu sik. El fahk, “Simusla ma nga ac akkalemye nu sum inge fin eot kle in arulana kalem, mwet uh in mau ku in ngetang na liye ac kalem kac.
3 For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries towards the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it, because it will surely come. It won’t delay.
Simusla ma inge mweyen soenna pacl in sikyak. Tusruktu in pacl na sa, ma nga akkalemye nu sum uh ac fah akpwayeiyuk. Sahp ac nunkeyuk mu ac paht in tuku, tusruktu soano na. Pwayena lah ac sikyak — ac fah tia kohtla nwe tok.
4 Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith.
Pa inge kas sac: ‘Elos su koluk elos ac tia painmoulla, a elos su suwosna fah moul mweyen elos inse pwaye nu sin God.’”
5 Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous: an arrogant man who doesn’t stay at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol; he is like death and can’t be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations and heaps to himself all peoples. (Sheol h7585)
Kasrup uh kiapwekutla. Mwet rapku uh elos orek funmwet ac koflana okaki — elos oana fulan misa, tia ku in muti. Pa sis elos srike in mweun ac eisla mutunfacl puspis nu selos sifacna. (Sheol h7585)
6 Won’t all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, ‘Woe to him who increases that which is not his, and who enriches himself by extortion! How long?’
Mwet sruoh uh ac fah israsrinkusrai mwet ma sruokolosi, ac akkalemye sulung lalos ac fahk, “Kowos eis ma su tia ma lowos; tusruktu ac kunausyukla kowos! Kowos ac oru ange nwe ngac, in eis kasrpowos ke funmwet selos su srakna akfalye soemoul la nu suwos?”
7 Won’t your debtors rise up suddenly, and wake up those who make you tremble, and you will be their victim?
Tusruktu ac tiana paht, kowos su sruokya mwet saya ac fah oasr pac soemoul lowos, na ac fah oasr sap ku nu suwos in akfalye soemoul lowos wi ma laesla. Mwet lokoalok fah tuku ac oru kowos in rarrar ke sangeng. Elos ac fah utyak nu in acn suwos ac eisla ma nukewa lowos!
8 Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples will plunder you because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell in it.
Kowos muta eis ma lun mwet fin mutunfacl puspis, na inge elos su painmoulla fah eisla ma lowos ke sripen akmas ac lokoalok kowos oru nu sin mwet faclu ac siti selos.
9 Woe to him who gets an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil!
We nu suwos! Kowos akkasrupye sou lowos sifacna ke ma kowos eisla ke funmwet, ac srike in oakiya lohm suwos yen wangin mwe lokoalok fah sun!
10 You have devised shame to your house by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against your soul.
A inkanek koluk lowos an akmwekinye sou lowos. Ke kowos kunausla mutunfacl puspis, kowos pwanma ongoiya nu fowos sifacna.
11 For the stone will cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the woodwork will answer it.
Finne eot ke kalkal uh elos wowoyak pac lain kowos, ac loaloa in lohm uh etai pusren wowo lun eot uh.
12 Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!
We nu suwos! Kowos oakiya sie siti fin ma koluk, ac musaela ke akmas.
13 Behold, isn’t it from the LORD of Armies that the peoples labour for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
Mwet in acn ma kowos kutangla elos kemkatu ke wangin mweyen ma nukewa elos musaela firiryak. LEUM GOD Kulana pa oru ma inge.
14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD’s glory, as the waters cover the sea.
Tusruktu faclu ac fah arulana sessesla ke eteyen wolana lun LEUM GOD oana ke meoa uh sessesla ke kof.
15 “Woe to him who gives his neighbour drink, pouring your inflaming wine until they are drunk, so that you may gaze at their naked bodies!
We nu suwos! Kowos akpusiselye ac aklusrongtenye mwet tulan lowos in kasrkusrak lowos, ac kowos oru elos tukulkul oana elos in sruhi.
16 You are filled with shame, and not glory. You will also drink and be exposed! The cup of the LORD’s right hand will come around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory.
Ke ma inge, kowos ac fah apinyukla ke mwekin ac tia ke akfulat. Kowos sifacna ac fah nimnim ac tukulkul. LEUM GOD El ac fah oru tuh kowos in nim ke cup in kalyei lowos sifacna, na akfulat nu suwos ac fah ekla nu ke akmwekin.
17 For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of the animals will terrify you, because of men’s blood and for the violence done to the land, to every city and to those who dwell in them.
Kowos tuh pakiya insak in Lebanon; inge ac fah pakpuki kowos. Kowos onela kosro in acn we; inge kosro ac fah aklangingye kowos. Ma inge ac sikyak ke sripen akmas ma kowos tuh oru, ac ke sripen lokoalok yohk lowos lain mwet faclu ac siti lalos.
18 “What value does the engraved image have, that its maker has engraved it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute idols?
Mea, oasr sripen ma sruloala uh? Ma sruloala se ma na orekla ke poun mwet, ac wangin ma el ku in fahk. Mea wo el ac oru nu sin mwet ma oralla uh ku elos in lulalfongel — god na tia ku in kaskas se pa el.
19 Woe to him who says to the wood, ‘Awake!’ or to the mute stone, ‘Arise!’ Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all within it.
We nu suwos! Kowos fahk nu sin sie polosak, “Tukakek!” ku nu sin sie eot, “Tuyak!” Ya sie ma sruloala ku in akkalemye kutena ma? Finne mosrweyukla manol ke silver ac gold, tusruktu wangin moul in el.
20 But the LORD is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him!”
LEUM GOD El oasr in Tempul mutal lal; lela mwet e nukewa fin faclu in misla ye mutal.
