Habakkuk 2
1 Zan tsaya wurin tsarona in kuma zauna a kan katanga; zan jira in ga abin da zai ce mini, da kuma wace amsa zan bayar ga wannan kuka.
[After I said that, I said to myself, ] “I will climb up into my watchtower, and stand there at my guard post. I will wait there to find out what Yahweh will say, what he will reply to what I have complained about.”
2 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya amsa ya ce, “Ka rubuta wannan ru’uya ka bayyana ta a fili a kan alluna don mai shela yă ruga da ita, yă kai.
Then Yahweh replied to me, “Write plainly on tablets [what I am revealing to you in] this vision, [and then read it to a messenger] in order that he can run with it [to tell it to] other people.
3 Gama ru’uyar tana jiran ƙayyadadden lokaci; tana zancen ƙarshe kuma ba za tă zama ƙarya ba. Ko da ka ga kamar tana jinkiri, ka jira ta; lalle za tă zo, ba za tă makara ba.
In this vision [I will be talking about things that will happen] in the future. Now is not the time when those things will happen, but they certainly will happen, and when they occur, they will occur quickly, and they will not be delayed. Now you [want those things to happen immediately, but] they are not happening. But wait patiently for them [to happen]!
4 “Duba, abokin gāba ya cika da ɗaga kai; sha’awarsa ba daidai ba ce, amma mai adalci zai rayu ta wurin bangaskiyarsa,
Think about the proud [people of Babylonia]! They are certainly not doing what is righteous. But people who are righteous will live because they faithfully [do what I want them to do].
5 ba shakka, ruwan inabi ya yaudare shi; yana fariya kuma ba ya hutu. Domin shi mai haɗama ne kamar kabari kuma kamar mutuwa, ba ya ƙoshi; yakan tattara dukan al’ummai wa kansa yana kuma kama dukan mutane su zama kamammu. (Sheol h7585)
If people [trust in their wealth], they will deceive themselves, and proud people are never able to rest. [It is as though] the greedy people [of Babylonia open their mouths] as wide as the place where dead people are, and they never have enough, like [the place where] dead people go never has enough dead people [PRS]. The [armies of Babylonia] conquer many nations for themselves, and capture all their people. (Sheol h7585)
6 “Dukansu ba za su yi masa tsiya, suna yin masa ba’a da dariya ba, suna cewa, “‘Kaito ga wannan wanda ya tara wa kansa kayan sata ya kuma wadatar da kansa da kayan ƙwace! Har yaushe wannan abu zai ci gaba?’
But [soon] all those [whom they have captured] will ridicule [the soldiers from Babylonia]! They will make fun of them, saying, ‘Terrible things will happen to you who have stolen things [from other countries]! You got many things by forcing people to give them to you. [But you certainly will not keep those things] for a long time [RHQ]!’
7 Masu binka bashi ba za su taso maka nan da nan ba? Ba za su farka su sa ka fargaba ba? Ta haka ka zama ganima a gare su.
Suddenly those whom you (oppressed/treated cruelly) will cause you to tremble, and they will take away all the things that you have stolen from them.
8 Domin ka washe al’ummai masu yawa, mutanen da suka rage za su washe ka. Domin ka zub da jinin mutane; ka hallaka ƙasashe, da birane, da kuma kowa da yake cikinsu.
You stole things from the people of many nations. You murdered [MTY] people of many people-groups, and you destroyed their land and their cities. So those who are still alive will steal valuable things from you.
9 “Kaito ga wanda ya gina masarautarsa da ƙazamar riba don yă kafa sheƙarsa can bisa, don yă tsere wa zama kango!
Terrible things will happen to you [people of Babylonia] who build big houses with money that you got by forcing others to give it to you. You are proud and you think that your houses will be safe because you have built them in places where you can easily defend them.
10 Ka ƙulla lalacin mutane masu yawa, ta haka ka kunyatar da gidanka ka kuma hallaka ranka.
But because you have destroyed others, you have caused your family [MTY] to be shamed/disgraced, and you yourselves will be killed.
11 Duwatsun katanga za su yi kuka, ginshiƙan katako kuma za su amsa.
[It is as though] the stones in the walls [of your houses] cry out to accuse you, and [it is as though] the beams [in your ceilings] also say the same things.
12 “Kaiton mutumin da ya gina birni da jinin da ya zubar ya kuma kafa gari ta wurin mugun aiki!
Terrible things will happen to you [people of Babylonia] who kill people [MTY] in order to build cities, cities that you build by using money that you have gotten by committing crimes.
13 Ba Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ne ya ƙudura cewa wahalar mutane ta zama mai kawai don wuta ba, cewa al’ummai su gajiyar da kansu a banza ba?
But the Commander of the armies of angels has [RHQ] declared that everything that is built by people who do things like that [will be destroyed by] fire; they will have worked hard uselessly.
14 Gama duniya za tă cika da sanin ɗaukakar Ubangiji, yadda ruwaye suka rufe teku.
But [in contrast], like [SIM] the oceans are filled with water, the earth will be filled with [people who] know that Yahweh is very great.
15 “Kaito wanda ya ba wa maƙwabtansa abin sha, yana ta zubawa daga salkan ruwan inabi har sai sun bugu, don dai yă ga tsiraicinsu.
Terrible things will happen to you [people of Babylonia] who cause people who live in nearby countries to become drunk. You force them to drink a lot of wine from wineskins [until they are drunk and then they walk around] naked, in order that you can see that.
16 Za ka cika da kunya a maimakon ɗaukaka. Yanzu lokacinka ne! Kai ma ka sha, a kuma tone asirinka! Gama kwaf na hannun daman Ubangiji yana zuwa kewaye da kai, abin kunya kuma zai rufe darajarka.
But you are the ones who [soon] will be disgraced instead of being honored. [It will be as though you are forced to] drink [a lot of wine] in order that you will also stagger [around, drunk]. You will drink the wine [that symbolizes that Yahweh will punish you], and he will cause you to be disgraced instead of being greatly respected [any more].
17 Ɓarnar da ka yi wa Lebanon zai komo kanka, kuma hallakar dabbobin da ka yi zai sa dabbobi su tsorata ka. Gama ka zub da jinin mutum; ka hallaka ƙasashe, da birane, da kuma kowa da yake cikinsu.
You did violent [PRS] things to [the people in] Lebanon, and you killed the wild animals [there], but you will be punished severely for doing that. You have killed [MTY] many people and you have destroyed their lands and their cities.
18 “Ina amfanin gunki da mutum ne ya sassaƙa? Ko siffar da take koyar da ƙarya? Gama wanda ya yi shi yana dogara ne ga halittarsa; ya yi gumakan da ba sa magana.
[You people of Babylonia need to know that your] idols are completely [RHQ] useless, because it is people who made them. Statues that have been carved or made in a mold deceive you. Those who trust in idols are trusting in things that they themselves created, things that cannot speak!
19 Kaito wanda ya ce da katako, ‘Rayu!’ Ko kuwa dutse marar rai, ‘Farka!’ Zai iya bishewa ne? An dalaye shi da zinariya da azurfa; ba numfashi a cikinsa.”
Terrible things will happen to you who say to lifeless idols that are made of wood, ‘Wake up!’ Idols certainly cannot [RHQ] tell you what you should do; they [look nice/beautiful because] they are covered with silver and gold, but they are not alive.
20 Amma Ubangiji yana a cikin haikalinsa mai tsarki; bari dukan duniya tă yi shiru a gabansa.
But Yahweh is in his holy temple; everyone on the earth should be silent in his presence.”
