Habakkuk 2
1 On my kepyng Y schal stonde, and schal pitche a grees on wardyng; and Y schal biholde, that Y se what thing schal be seid to me, and what Y schal answere to hym that repreuith me.
Stat ću na stražu svoju, postavit se na bedem, paziti što će mi reći, kako odgovorit na moje tužbe.
2 And the Lord answeride to me, and seide, Write thou the reuelacioun, and make it pleyn on tablis, that he renne, that schal rede it.
Tada Jahve odgovori i reče: “Zapiši viđenje, ureži ga na pločice, da ga čitač lako čita.”
3 For yit the visioun is fer, and it schal appere in to ende, and schal not lie; if it schal make dwellyng, abide thou it, for it comynge schal come, and schal not tarie.
Jer ovo je viđenje samo za svoje vrijeme: ispunjenju teži, ne vara; ako stiže polako, čekaj, jer odista će doći i neće zakasniti!
4 Lo! the soule of hym, that is vnbileueful, schal not be riytful in hym silf; forsothe the iust man schal lyue in his feith.
Gle: propada onaj čija duša nije pravedna, a pravednik živi od svoje vjere.
5 And as wyn disseyueth a man drynkynge, so schal the proude man be, and he schal not be maad feir; for as helle he alargide his soule, and he is as deth, and he is not fillid; and he schal gadere to hym alle folkis, and he shal kepe togidere to hym alle puplis. (Sheol h7585)
Bogatstvo je odista podmuklo! Ohol je i ne može počinuti tko ždrijelo razvaljuje k'o Podzemlje, tko je kao smrt nezasitan, tko sabire za se sve narode, tko kupi za se sva plemena! (Sheol h7585)
6 Whether not alle these puplis schulen take a parable on hym, and the speking of derk sentencis of hym? And it schal be seid, Wo to hym that multiplieth thingis not his owne; hou longe, and he aggreggith ayens hym silf thicke clei?
Zar mu se neće svi podrugivati, rugalicu i zagonetku spjevat' protiv njega? Reći će: Jao onom tko množi što nije njegovo (a dokle će?) i opterećuje se zalogama!
7 Whether not sudeynli thei schulen rise to gidere, that schulen bite thee? And thei schulen be reisid to-teerynge thee, and thou schalt be in to raueyn to hem; and thin aspieris in yuel schulen wake.
Neće li naglo ustat' vjerovnici tvoji, neće li se probuditi ljuti tvoji tlačitelji? Tada ćeš im plijen biti!
8 For thou robbidist many folkis, alle schulen robbe thee, whiche schulen be left of puplis, for blood of man, and for wickidnesse of lond of the citee, and of alle men dwellynge in it.
Jer si opljačkao mnoge narode, sav ostatak naroda opljačkat će tebe, jer si prolio krv ljudsku, poharao zemlju, grad i sve mu žitelje.
9 Wo to hym that gaderith yuel coueitise to his hous, that his nest be in hiy, and gessith hym for to be delyuered of the hond of yuel.
Jao onom tko otimačinu zgrće nepravednu kući svojoj, da visoko svije gnijezdo svoje i otkloni ruku zla!
10 Thou thouytist confusioun to thin hous; thou hast slayn many puplis, and thi soule synnede.
Nanese sramotu kući svojoj: zatirući mnoga plemena, griješiš protiv sebe.
11 For a stoon of the wal schal crie, and a tree that is bitwixe ioynturis of bildyngis schal answere.
Jer iz samih zidova kamen kriči, a krovna mu greda odgovara.
12 Wo to hym that bildith a citee in bloodis, and makith redi a citee in wickidnesse.
Jao onom tko grad diže krvlju i tvrđavu zasnuje na nepravdi!
13 Whether not these thingis ben of the Lord of oostis? For puplis schulen trauele in myche fier, and folkis in veyn, and thei schulen faile.
Nije li to, gle, od Jahve nad Vojskama da se narodi za oganj trude, puci nizašto muče?
14 For the erthe schal be fillid, that it knowe the glorie of the Lord, as watris hilynge the see.
Jer će se zemlja napuniti znanja o slavi Jahvinoj kao što vode prekrivaju more.
15 Wo to hym that yyueth drynk to his frend, and sendith his galle, and makith drunkun, that he biholde his nakidnesse.
Jao onom tko bližnjeg navodi na piće, ulijeva otrov dok on pije da bi promatrao njegovu nagost!
16 He is fillid with yuel fame for glorie; and thou drynke, and be aslept; the cuppe of the riythalf of the Lord schal cumpasse thee, and `castynge vp of yuel fame on thi glorie.
Ti si pijan od sramote, ne od slave! Pij samo i pokazuj kapicu. Dolazi ti pehar iz desnice Jahvine i sramota na slavu tvoju!
17 For the wickidnesse of Liban schal kyuere thee, and distruccioun of beestis schal make hem aferd, of bloodis of man, and of wickidnesse of lond, and of the citee, and of alle men dwellynge ther ynne.
Nasilje nad Libanonom tebe će prestraviti, pokolj zvijeri, jer si ljudsku krv prolio, poharao zemlju, grad i njegove žitelje.
18 What profitith the `grauun ymage, for his makere grauyde it, a wellid thing togidere and fals ymage? for the makere therof hopide in makyng, that he made doumbe symylacris.
Čemu koristi tesan lik da ga umjetnik teše? Čemu lijevan lik, lažno proroštvo, da se tvorac njegov u nj pouzdaje oblikujuć' nijeme kipove?
19 Wo to hym that seith to a tre, Wake thou; Rise thou, to a stoon beynge stille; whether he schal mow teche? Lo! this is kyuerid with gold and siluer, and no spirit is in his entrails.
Jao onom tko komadu drva kaže: “Probudi se!” Kamenu nijemom: “Preni se!” On da prorokuje? Optočen može biti i zlatom i srebrom, ali nikakva daha životnog nema u njemu.
20 Forsothe the Lord is in his hooli temple, al erthe be stille fro his face.
Ali je Jahve u svojem svetom Hramu: nek' zemlja sva zašuti pred njime!
