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.
Nitasimama kwenye nguzo yangu ya ulinzi na kujiweka mwenyewe juu ya mnara wa mlinzi, na nitatazama kwa makini kuona yeye atasema nini kwangu na namna gani nitageuka kutoka kwenye lawama yangu.
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.
Yahwe alinijibu na alisema, “Rekodi maono haya, na uandike dhahiri juu ya kibao ili kwamba anayesoma anaweza kukimbia.
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.
Sababu maono haya bado ni kwa wakati ujao na hatimaye atazungumza bila kuanguka. Ingawa inachelewa, isubiri. Sababu kwa hakika itatakuja na haitachelewa.
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.
Tazama! yule ambae hamu yake siyo sawa ndani yake anapumua kwa nguvu. Lakini mwenye haki ataishi kwa imani.
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)
Sababu mvinyo ni msaliti wa kijana mwenye kiburi ili kwamba asistahimili, lakini hukuza tamaa yake kama kaburi na, kama kifo, haitaweza kuridhishwa. Yeye anajikusanyia kila taifa na anakusanya kwaajili yake watu wote. (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?
Haya yote hayatatengeneza usemi kumdhihaki na wimbo wa dhihaka unaomhusu, 'ole wake yule aongezaye visivyo vya kwake! kwa muda gani utaongeza uzito wa dhamana uliyochukua?'
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.
Wale wanao ngojea kwako hawatainuka ghafla? na wale wanaokutetemesha kuamka? Utakuwa mwathirika kwaajili yao.
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.
Kwasababu umeteka nyara watu wengi, mabaki yote ya watu, yatakuteka nyara wewe. Sababu umemwaga damu nyingi za watu na umetenda kwa uasi kinyume cha nchi, miji, na wote wanaokaa ndani yake.
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.
Ole kwa yule anayechonga mapato maovu kwaajili ya nyumba yake, hivyo anaweza kutengeneza kiota chake juu kumweka yeye salama mbali na mikono ya uovu.
10 Thou thouytist confusioun to thin hous; thou hast slayn many puplis, and thi soule synnede.
Umebuni aibu kwa nyumba yako kwa kuwakata watu wengi, na umefanya dhambi dhidi yako mwenyewe.
11 For a stoon of the wal schal crie, and a tree that is bitwixe ioynturis of bildyngis schal answere.
Sababu jiwe litapaza sauti kutoka ukutani, na pao la mbao litawajibu,
12 Wo to hym that bildith a citee in bloodis, and makith redi a citee in wickidnesse.
'Ole wake yule ajengaye mji kwa damu, na anayeimarisha mji kwa katika uovu.
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.
Hii haitoki kwa Yahwe wa majeshi kwamba watu wafanye kazi kwa moto na mataifa yote mengine yanachakaa menyewe bila kitu?
14 For the erthe schal be fillid, that it knowe the glorie of the Lord, as watris hilynge the see.
Bado nchi itajaa maarifa ya utukufu wa Yahwe kama maji yanavyojaza bahari.
15 Wo to hym that yyueth drynk to his frend, and sendith his galle, and makith drunkun, that he biholde his nakidnesse.
'Ole wake yule anayemfanya jirani yake alewe, wewe ambaye unaye ongeza sumu uwafanye walewe ili uweze kutazama uchi wao.
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.
Utavimbiwa na aibu zaidi kuliko utukufu. Kunywa hiyo vilevile, na funua uchi wako mwenyewe. Kikombe cha mkono wa kuume wa Yahwe utakuja katika kukugeukia wewe, na aibu itafunika heshima yako.
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.
Vurugu iliyofanywa kwa Lebanoni itakufunika na uharibifu wa wanyama utakuogopesha. Sababu umemwaga damu za watu na umetenda kwa uasi dhidi ya ile nchi, miji, na wote wanaokaa humo.
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.
Sanamu iliyochongwa inakufaidia nini? Sababu yule aliyeichonga hiyo, au ambaye kaisubu kwa kuiyeyusha metali, ni mwalimu wa uongo; Sababu anaiamini kazi ya mikono yake anapotengeneza miungu hii isiyoongea.
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.
'Ole kwa yule anayeuambia ubao, Amka! Au kwa jiwe lisiloongea, Inuka!' Vitu hivi vinafundisha? Angalia, hiki juu kimefunikwa kwa dhahabu na fedha, lakini ndani yake hakipumui kabisa.
20 Forsothe the Lord is in his hooli temple, al erthe be stille fro his face.
Lakini Yahwe yumo katika hekalu lake takatifu! Nchi yote iwe kimya mbele zake.
