Habakkuk 2
1 On my charge I stand, and I station myself on a bulwark, and I watch to see what He doth speak against me, and what I do reply to my reproof.
Na straži svojoj stadoh, i stajah na kuli, i motrah da vidim šta æe mi reæi i šta bih odgovorio onome koji me koraše.
2 And Jehovah answereth me and saith: 'Write a vision, and explain on the tables, That he may run who is reading it.
I odgovori mi Gospod i reèe: piši utvaru, i da bude razgovijetno na ploèama da se lako èita.
3 For yet the vision [is] for a season, And it breatheth for the end, and doth not lie, If it tarry, wait for it, For surely it cometh, it is not late.
Jer æe još biti utvara do odreðenoga vremena, i govoriæe šta æe biti do pošljetka i neæe slagati; ako oklijeva, èekaj je, jer æe zacijelo doæi, i neæe odocniti.
4 Lo, a presumptuous one! Not upright is his soul within him, And the righteous by his stedfastness liveth.
Gle, ko se ponosi, njegova duša nije prava u njemu; a pravednik æe od vjere svoje živ biti.
5 And also, because the wine [is] treacherous, A man is haughty, and remaineth not at home, Who hath enlarged as sheol his soul, And is as death that is not satisfied, And doth gather unto itself all the nations, And doth assemble unto itself all the peoples, (Sheol h7585)
A kako vino vara, taki je èovjek ohol, niti ostaje u stanu; jer raširuje duh svoj kao grob, i kao smrt je, koja se ne može nasititi i zbira k sebi sve narode i skuplja k sebi sva plemena. (Sheol h7585)
6 Do not these — all of them — against him a simile taken up, And a moral of acute sayings for him, And say, Woe [to] him who is multiplying [what is] not his? Till when also is he multiplying to himself heavy pledges?
Neæe li ga svi oni uzeti u prièu i u zagonetke, i reæi: teško onom koji umnožava što nije njegovo! dokle æe? i koji trpa na se gusto blato.
7 Do not thy usurers instantly rise up, And those shaking thee awake up, And thou hast been for a spoil to them?
Neæe li najedanput ustati oni koji æe te gristi? i neæe li se probuditi oni koji æe te rastrzati, i kojima æeš biti grabež?
8 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, Spoil thee do all the remnant of the peoples, Because of man's blood, and of violence [to] the land, [To] the city, and [to] all dwelling in it.
Što si ti oplijenio mnoge narode, tebe æe oplijeniti sav ostatak od naroda, za krv ljudsku i za nasilje uèinjeno zemlji, gradu i svjema koji žive u njemu.
9 Woe [to] him who is gaining evil gain for his house, To set on high his nest, To be delivered from the hand of evil,
Teško onome koji se lakomi na gadan dobitak kuæi svojoj, da postavi gnijezdo svoje na visokom mjestu i saèuva se oda zla.
10 Thou hast counselled a shameful thing to thy house, To cut off many peoples, and sinful [is] thy soul.
Smislio si sramotu kuæi svojoj da zatreš mnoge narode, i ogriješio si se o svoju dušu.
11 For a stone from the wall doth cry out, And a holdfast from the wood answereth it.
Jer æe kamen iz zida vikati, i èvor iz drveta svjedoèiæe.
12 Woe [to] him who is building a city by blood, And establishing a city by iniquity.
Teško onome koji gradi grad krvlju i osniva grad nepravdom!
13 Lo, is it not from Jehovah of Hosts And peoples are fatigued for fire, And nations for vanity are weary?
Gle, nije li od Gospoda nad vojskama da ljudi rade za oganj i narodi se trude ni za što?
14 For full is the earth of the knowledge of the honour of Jehovah, As waters cover [the bottom of] a sea.
Jer æe se zemlja napuniti poznanja slave Gospodnje kao što je more puno vode.
15 Woe [to] him who is giving drink to his neighbour, Pouring out thy bottle, and also making drunk, In order to look on their nakedness.
Teško onome koji poji bližnjega svojega, dodaje mijeh svoj da bi ga opojio i gledao mu golotinju.
16 Thou hast been filled — shame without honour, Drink thou also, and be uncircumcised, Turn round unto thee doth the cup of the right hand of Jehovah, And shameful spewing [is] on thine honour.
Nasitiæeš se sramote mjesto slave, pij i ti, i otkrij golotinju svoju; doæi æe k tebi èaša u desnici Gospodnjoj, i bljuvotina æe sramna biti na slavi tvojoj.
17 For violence [to] Lebanon doth cover thee, And spoil of beasts doth affright them, Because of man's blood, and of violence [to] the land, [To] the city, and [to] all dwelling in it.
Jer nasilje uèinjeno Livanu pokriæe te i pustoš meðu zvijerjem koja ga je plašila, za krv ljudsku i nasilje uèinjeno zemlji, gradu i svjema koji žive u njemu.
18 What profit hath a graven image given That its former hath graven it? A molten image and teacher of falsehood, That trusted hath the former on his own formation — to make dumb idols?
Šta pomaže rezan lik što ga izreza umjetnik njegov? šta liven lik i uèitelj laži, te se umjetnik uzda u djelo svoje gradeæi nijeme idole?
19 Woe [to] him who is saying to wood, 'Awake,' 'Stir up,' to a dumb stone, It a teacher! lo, it is overlaid — gold and silver, And there is no spirit in its midst.
Teško onome koji govori drvetu: preni se! i nijemu kamenu: probudi se! Hoæe li on uèiti? Eto, obložen je zlatom i srebrom, a nema duha u njemu.
20 And Jehovah [is] in His holy temple, Be silent before Him, all the earth!
A Gospod je u svetoj crkvi svojoj; muèi pred njim, sva zemljo!
