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.
Ndichandomira panzvimbo yangu yokurinda ndichazviisa panzvimbo yakakwirira; ndichatarisa ndione zvaachareva kwandiri uye zvandingapindura pamusoro pokuchema uku.
2 Yahweh answered me, “Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he who runs may read it.
Ipapo Jehovha akapindura achiti: “Nyora chiratidzo ichi, uite kuti chionekwe kwazvo pamahwendefa kuti anoverenga agoverenga achimhanya.
3 For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it, because it will surely come. It won’t delay.
Nokuti chiratidzo ichi chakamirira nguva yakatarwa; chinotaura nezvamagumo uye hachingarevi nhema. Kunyange dai chikanonoka, chimirire; zvirokwazvo chichauya, hachizononoki.
4 Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith.

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)
Zvirokwazvo, waini inomupandukira; anozvikudza uye haazombozorori. Nokuti anokara sezvinoita guva uye sorufu haaguti, anozviunganidzira ndudzi dzose uye anotapa marudzi ose avanhu. (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?’
“Ko, vakatapwa vose havangazomuseki here nezvirahwe zvokumushora vachiti, “‘Ane nhamo anozviunganidzira zvakabiwa anozvipfumisa nepfuma yakapambwa! Zvicharamba zvakadai kusvikira riniko?’
7 Won’t your debtors rise up suddenly, and wake up those who make you tremble, and you will be their victim?
Ko, vamakakwereta havangazosimuki pakarepo here? Havangazomuki vakakuvhundutsai here? Ipapo ndimi muchava vakapambwa.
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.
Nokuti makapamba ndudzi zhinji, vakasara vachakupambai, nokuda kweropa ravanhu ramakateura; makaparadza nyika namaguta pamwe chete navageremo.
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!
“Ane nhamo anovaka umambo hwake nepfuma yakabiwa, achivaka dendere rake pakakwirira, kuti anzvenge kuparadzwa!
10 You have devised shame to your house by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against your soul.
Makarangana kuparadza ndudzi dzakawanda, muchinyadzisa imba yenyu, uye muchiparadza upenyu hwenyu.
11 For the stone will cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the woodwork will answer it.
Mabwe ari murusvingo achadanidzira, ipapo matanda edenga remba achadairira namaungira.
12 Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!
“Ane nhamo anovaka guta nokudeura ropa uye anosimbisa guta nezvakaipa.
13 Behold, isn’t it from Yahweh of Armies that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
Tarirai, hazvina kubva kuna Jehovha Wamasimba Ose here kuti vanhu vanoshandira zvinoparadzwa nomoto, uye kuti marudzi avanhu anongozvinetesa nezvisina maturo?
14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of Yahweh’s glory, as the waters cover the sea.
Nokuti nyika yose ichazadzwa nokuziva kubwinya kwaJehovha, sezvakaita mvura kuzadza kwayakaita gungwa.
15 “Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink, pouring your inflaming wine until they are drunk, so that you may gaze at their naked bodies!
“Ane nhamo anopa vavakidzani vake zvinodhaka, achizvidurura kubva mumatende ewaini kusvikira vadhakwa, kuti aone kushama kwavo.
16 You are filled with shame, and not glory. You will also drink and be exposed! The cup of Yahweh’s right hand will come around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory.
Muchazadzwa nenyadzi pachinzvimbo chokukudzwa. Nhasi ndimiwo! Chinwai kuti mudzedzereke! Mukombe unobva kuruoko rwaJehovha rworudyi uri kuuya kwamuri, kunyadziswa kuchafukidza kukudzwa kwenyu.
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.
Nokuti kuita nechisimba kwamakaitira Rebhanoni kuchakukundai, uye kuparadza kwamakaita mhuka kuchakutyisai. Nokuti makateura ropa ravanhu; makaparadza nyika namaguta navose vakanga vageremo!
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?
“Chifananidzo chakavezwa chinobatsireiko, zvachakangogadzirwa nomuvezi? Kana chifananidzo chakaumbwa, chinodzidzisa nhema? Nokuti uyo anochiita anovimba nechaakazviumbira; anoita zvifananidzo zvisingagoni kutaura.
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.
Ane nhamo anoti kudanda, ‘Rarama!’ Kana kubwe risingagoni kutaura, ‘Muka!’ Ko, zvingadzidzisa here? Tarira, chakafukidzwa negoridhe nesirivha; hachina mweya mukati macho napaduku.
20 But Yahweh is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him!”
Asi Jehovha ari mutemberi yake tsvene; nyika yose ngairambe inyerere pamberi pake.”
