Abakouk 2
1 Mwen va kanpe sou pòs gad mwen, e mwen va pran pozisyon sou ranpa a. Mwen va veye san rete pou wè ki sa Li va pale avèk mwen, ak jan pou m ta reponn, selon plent mwen pote bay L.
I will stand upon my watch, and seat myself upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say to me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
2 Konsa SENYÈ a te reponn mwen. Li te di: “Ekri vizyon an e montre li klè sou tablo, pou (sila) k ap kouri a, ka li l.
And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make [it] plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3 Paske vizyon an toujou pou lè deziye a. La p pwoche vit pou rive nan bi li, ni li p ap fè fayit. Menmsi li fè reta, tann li; paske anverite, li va vini. Li p ap fè mize.
For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it may tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
4 Gade byen, kè l anfle. Nanm li pa dwat anndan l, men moun dwat la va viv pa lafwa li.
Behold, his soul [which] is lifted up, is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
5 Anplis, diven devwale yon moun ògeye, ki pa rete lakay li. L ap ogmante apeti li tankou Sejou mò a. Epi konsa, li menm, tankou lanmò a, pa kapab satisfè. Li rasanble a li menm tout nasyon yo, e li ranmase tout pèp yo a li menm. (Sheol h7585)
Yes also, because he transgresseth by wine, [he is] a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire, as hell, and [is] as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth to him all nations, and collecteth to him all people: (Sheol h7585)
6 “Èske tout moun sa yo p ap Leve yon chan mokè kont li, yon tire pwen kont li pou di: “Malè a (sila) ki ogmante sa ki pa pou li— pou jiskilè l ap fè tèt li rich ak chantay li yo?”
Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth [that which is] not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!
7 Èske moun ki dwe w yo p ap leve sibitman? Èske yo p ap vin souleve? Anverite, ou va vin piyaj pou yo.
Shall they not rise suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall disturb thee, and thou shalt be for booties to them?
8 Akoz ou te piyaje anpil nasyon, tout retay pèp yo va piyaje ou. L ap konsa, akoz tout san moun ki vèse ak vyolans ki fèt nan peyi a, nan vil la, ak tout moun ki rete ladann yo.
Because thou hast laid waste many nations, all the remnant of the people shall lay thee waste; because of men's blood, and [for] the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
9 “Malè a (sila) ki jwenn avantaj malonèt pou lakay li a, pou mete nich li byen wo, pou l ta ka delivre soti nan men a gwo malè!
Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
10 Ou te machinen yon gwo wont pou lakay ou nan detwi anpil pèp. Konsa, ou te peche kont pwòp nanm ou.
Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned [against] thy soul.
11 Anverite, wòch la va kriye soti nan mi an, e poto travès la va reponn li.
For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
12 “Malè a (sila) ki bati yon vil ak san vèse, e ki fonde yon vil ak inikite!
Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and establisheth a city by iniquity!
13 Anverite, èske sa pa soti nan SENYÈ dèzame yo pou moun travay di pou dife a, e nasyon yo fatige kò yo pou granmesi?
Behold, [is it] not from the LORD of hosts that the people shall labor in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?
14 Paske latè va ranpli ak konesans ak laglwa SENYÈ a, tankou dlo kouvri lanmè.
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
15 “Malè a ou menm k ap fòse vwazen ou bwè, k ap mele gwòg pa w ladann, menm pou fè yo sou, pou gade toutouni yo!
Woe to him that giveth his neighbor drink, that puttest thy bottle to [him], and makest [him] drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
16 Ou plen ak wont san onè. Konsa, ou va bwè ou menm e dekouvri pwòp toutouni pa ou. Tas nan men dwat SENYÈ a va vire tou won pou rive kote ou, e wont total va ranplase laglwa ou.
Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD'S right hand shall be turned to thee, and shameful vomiting [shall be] on thy glory.
17 Paske vyolans ki fèt Liban an va fè ou plonje desann, ansanm ak destriksyon a bèt va bay ou gwo laperèz; akoz de san vèse a moun ak vyolans tè a, nan chak vil la ak tout (sila) ki rete ladann yo.
For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of beasts, [which] made them afraid, because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
18 “Ki pwofi ki gen nan zidòl la, lè mèt li fin taye l? Swa yon imaj, fome pa yonpwofesè k ap bay manti? Paske (sila) menm ki te fè l la mete konfyans li nan pwòp zèv li a, lè l fòme zidòl ki bebe.
What profiteth the graven image that its maker hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
19 Malè a (sila) ki di a yon mòso bwa: ‘Leve!”, a yon wòch ki pa ka pale: “Kanpe!” Èske se (sila) a ki ka enstwi? Men gade byen, li kouvri nèt ak lò ak ajan, e pa gen okenn souf ladann.
Woe to him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it [is] laid over with gold and silver, and [there is] no breath at all in the midst of it.
20 Men SENYÈ a la nan sen tanp Li. Ke tout tè a fè silans devan Li.”
But the LORD [is] in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
