< Habakuku 2 >
1 Nĩngũrũgama handũ hakwa ha kũrangĩra, na njikare o hau rũthingo igũrũ. Njetereire njigue ũrĩa ekũnjĩĩra, nĩguo menye ũrĩa ingĩcookia nĩ ũndũ wa iteta rĩĩrĩ.
At post my I will stand and I will take my stand on [the] fortification so I may watch to see what? will he speak by me and what? will I bring back on complaint my.
2 Nake Jehova akĩnjookeria atĩrĩ, “Andĩka ũguũrio ũyũ, ũwandĩke wega ihengere-inĩ na ndemwa nene, nĩgeetha ũthomeke wega, o na mũndũ angĩkorwo atengʼerete.
And he answered me Yahweh and he said write down [the] vision and make [it] clear on the tablets so that he may run [one who] reads it.
3 Nĩgũkorwo ũguũrio ũyũ wetereire ihinda rĩrĩa rĩtuĩtwo; waragia ũhoro wa matukũ ma mũthia, na ndũngĩtuĩka wa maheeni. O na ũngĩikara mũno-rĩ, weterere. Ti-itherũ nĩũkahingio, na ndũgatĩĩrio.
For still [the] vision [is] for the appointed time and it will pant to the end and not it will lie if it will delay wait for it for surely it will come not it will delay.
4 “Atĩrĩrĩ, mũndũ mwĩtĩĩi-rĩ, merirĩria maake ti marũngĩrĩru; no mũndũ ũrĩa mũthingu agatũũra muoyo nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtĩkia gwake;
There! it is swollen not it is upright self his in him and [the] righteous by faithfulness his he will live.
5 ti-itherũ, mũndũ ũcio mwĩtĩĩi nĩakunyanagĩrwo nĩ ndibei; nĩ mwĩtĩĩi na ndarĩ hĩndĩ ahurũkaga. Tondũ akorokete ta mbĩrĩra, na o ta ũrĩa gĩkuũ gĩtaiganagia, o nake ndaiganagia; acookanagĩrĩria ndũrĩrĩ ciothe harĩ we, na agataha andũ a ndũrĩrĩ ciothe. (Sheol )
And also for wine [is] treacherous a man arrogant and [who] not he stays at home who he has made large like Sheol throat his and he [is] like death and not he is satisfied and he has gathered to himself all the nations and he has assembled to himself all the peoples. (Sheol )
6 “Githĩ andũ othe matikamũthekerera makĩmũnyũrũragia, na mamũnyarare, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “‘Kaĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wĩigagĩra indo cia ũici, na agetongia na indo cia ũtunyani arĩ na haaro-ĩ! Egũtũũra ekaga ũguo nginya-rĩ?’
¿ Not these [nations] all of them on him a saying will they lift up and a mocking song riddles to him so may someone say? woe to! the [one who] increases [that which] not [belongs] to him until when? and [one who] makes heavy on himself pledge[s].
7 Andũ arĩa ũrĩ na thiirĩ wao githĩ matigagũũkĩrĩra o rĩmwe? Githĩ matikaarahũka, na matũme ũinaine, macooke makũnyamarie?
¿ Not suddenly will they arise [those who] pay interest to you and may they awake? [those who will] make tremble you and you will become plunder for them.
8 Tondũ nĩũtahĩte ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ indo ciao, matigari ma ndũrĩrĩ icio, nĩmagagũtaha indo o nawe. Nĩ ũndũ nĩũitĩte thakame ya andũ, na ũkaananga mabũrũri, na matũũra manene, o na arĩa othe marĩ kuo.
For you you have plundered nations many they will plunder you all [the] rest of [the] peoples from [the] blood of humankind and [the] violence of [the] land of [the] town and all [those who] dwell in it.
9 “Mũndũ ũrĩa wakaga wathani wake, na agetongia na uumithio ũtarĩ wa kĩhooto, nĩgeetha aake nyũmba yake handũ igũrũ nĩguo ehonokie ndakanyiitwo nĩ mwanangĩko, kaĩ arĩ na haaro-ĩ!
Woe to! [one who] gains unjust gain evil for house his to set on the high places nest his to deliver himself from [the] hand of harm.
10 Wee wanaciirĩra kũniinwo kwa ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ, ũgaconorithia nyũmba yaku mwene, na ũkoorwo nĩ muoyo waku.
You have planned shame for house your by cutting off peoples many and [you have] sinned self your.
11 Mahiga ma rũthingo nĩmakanĩrĩra, na mĩgamba ya mbaũ nĩĩkamũkĩria.
For a stone from [the] wall it will cry out and a rafter from [the] wood it will answer it.
12 “Mũndũ ũrĩa wakithagia itũũra inene na ũiti wa thakame, na akahaanda itũũra na njĩra cia ũmaramari, kaĩ arĩ na haaro-ĩ!
Woe to! [one who] builds a city by blood and he establishes a town by injustice.
13 Githĩ Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ndatuĩte atĩ wĩra wa andũ no ngũ cia gwakĩrĩria mwaki, na atĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciĩnogagia o tũhũ?
¿ [is it] not There! from with Yahweh of hosts so they may labor peoples for [the] sufficiency of fire and nations for [the] sufficiency of vanity they grow weary.
14 Nĩgũkorwo thĩ nĩĩkaiyũrwo nĩ ũmenyo wa riiri wa Jehova, o ta ũrĩa maaĩ maiyũrĩte iria-inĩ.
For it will be filled the earth to know [the] glory of Yahweh like waters [which] they cover over [the] sea.
15 “Mũndũ ũrĩa ũheaga andũ a itũũra rĩake njoohi, akamatahĩria mondo-inĩ ya rũũa ya ndibei nginya makarĩĩo, nĩgeetha erorere njaga yao, kaĩ arĩ na haaro-ĩ!
Woe to! [one who] makes drink neighbor his [you are] pouring out rage your and even you make [them] drunk so as to look on nakedness their.
16 Ũkaiyũrwo nĩ thoni, handũ ha kũgĩa na riiri. Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo ihinda rĩaku! Nyua, ũrĩĩo, nayo njaga yaku yoneke! Gĩkombe kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa ũrĩo kwa Jehova nĩkĩragũkora, na njono nĩikũhumbĩra riiri waku.
You are satisfied shame more than honor drink also you and be counted as uncircumcised it will come round to you [the] cup of [the] right [hand] of Yahweh and disgrace [will be] over honor your.
17 Haaro ĩrĩa ũrutĩire Lebanoni-rĩ, nĩĩgakũhubĩkania, na wanangi waku wa nyamũ-rĩ, nĩũgakũmakia mũno. Nĩ ũndũ nĩũitĩte thakame ya andũ, na ũkaananga mabũrũri, na matũũra manene, na arĩa othe marĩ kuo.
For [the] violence of Lebanon it will cover you and [the] devastation of animals it will terrify them from [the] blood of humankind and [the] violence of [the] land of [the] town and all [those who] dwell in it.
18 “Mũhianano mũicũhie nĩ wa bata ũrĩkũ mũndũ aarĩkia kũwacũhia? O naguo mũhianano wa gũtwekio ũrĩa ũtũmaga andũ maheeneke nĩ wa bata ũrĩkũ? Nĩgũkorwo ũrĩa ũũthondekaga ehokaga kĩrĩa ombĩte; athondekaga mĩhianano ĩtaaragia.
What? does it profit a carved image that he has carved it [one who] formed it a molten image and [one which] teaches falsehood for he relies [one who] formed form his on it to make idols dumb.
19 Mũndũ ũrĩa wĩraga rũbaũ atĩrĩ, ‘Gĩa na muoyo!’ Kana akeera ihiga rĩtarĩ muoyo atĩrĩ, ‘Arahũka!’ Kaĩ arĩ na haaro-ĩ! Indo ta icio ciakĩhota kuonia mũndũ njĩra? Ihumbĩtwo thahabu na betha; no itirĩ na mĩhũmũ thĩinĩ wacio.
Woe to! [one who] says to wood wake up! awake to a stone of silence it will it teach? there! it [is] sheathed gold and silver and any breath not [is] within it.
20 No rĩrĩ, Jehova arĩ hekarũ-inĩ yake theru; thĩ yothe nĩĩkire ki ĩrĩ mbere yake.”
And Yahweh [is] in [the] temple of holiness his hush! from before him all the earth.
