Habakkuk 2
1 Agtakderakto iti pagbanbantayak ket agpuestoak iti torre a pagwanawanan, ket agbantayakto a nasayaat tapno maammoak no ania ti ibagana kaniak ken no ania ti rumbeng nga isungbatko maipapan iti asugko.
Upon my watch will I stand, and place myself upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will speak with me, and what I shall answer to my reproof.
2 Simmungbat ni Yahweh kaniak a kinunana, “Isuratmo daytoy a sirmata, ket isuratmo a nabatad kadagiti tapi ti bato tapno makataray ti mangbasa kadagitoy!
And the Lord answered me, and said, Write down the vision, and make it plain upon the tables, that everyone may read it fluently.
3 Ta ti sirmata ket para iti masakbayan a tiempo ket agsaonto iti kamaudianan, ket saan a mapaay. Uray no mataktak, urayem daytoy! Ta sigurado nga umayto daytoy ket saanto nga agbayag!
For there is yet a vision for the appointed time, and it speaketh of the end, and it will not deceive: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not be delayed.
4 Kitaem! Ti tao nga agtaltalek iti kaungganda ket awan pagbanaganna. Ngem ti nalinteg ket agbiagto babaen iti pammatina!
Behold, disturbed, not at rest is the soul of [the wicked] in him; but the righteous ever liveth in his [trustful] faith.
5 Ta ti arak ket mangliliput iti natangsit nga agtutubo a lalaki tapno saan isuna nga agtulnog, ngem, padpadakkelenna ti kalikagumna a kas iti tanem ken kas iti patay a saan a pulos a mapnek. Ummongenna dagiti amin a nasion a para iti bagina ken ummongenna dagiti amin a tattao para iti bagina. (Sheol h7585)
And though the wine-[drunken] traitor, the proud man, whose house will not stand, who enlargeth his desire as the grave, and is like death, which cannot be satisfied, —though he gather unto him all the nations, and assemble unto him all the people: (Sheol h7585)
6 Amin dagitoy a tattao, saandanto ngata a mangusar iti maysa a pangngarig maibusor kenkuana ken pananglais a panangibaga maipapan kenkuana a kunana, 'Asi pay daydiay a mangpaadu iti saanna a kukua! Ta kasano kabayag ti panangpadagsenyo kadagiti naisalda nga innalayo?’
Will not all these take up a parable against him, and a proverb and a satire concerning him? and they will say, Woe to him that increaseth what is not his! for how long? and to him that loadeth himself with a burden of guilt!
7 Saanto kadi a tumakder a dagus dagiti agngarngaryet kenka, ken saanto kadi a makariing dagiti mangbutbuteng kenka? Agbalinkanto a biktimada!
Behold, suddenly will rise up those that afflict thee, and awake those that plague thee, and thou shalt become a booty unto them.
8 Gapu ta sinamsammo ti adu a nasion, samsamandakanto dagiti amin a nabatbati a tattao, gapu iti dara ti lalaki ken ti kinaranggas a naaramid iti daga, ti bario ken dagiti agnanaed iti daytoy.
Because thou hast despoiled many nations will all the remnant of the people despoil thee; because of the blood of men, and the violence against the land, the town, and all that dwell therein.
9 'Asi pay ti agur-urnong kadagiti dakes a gunggona para iti balayna, tapno maisaadna ti umokna iti ngato tapno natalged isuna manipud iti ima ti dakes!'
Woe to him that obtaineth an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the grasp of the wicked!
10 Nangpartuatka iti pannakaibabain para iti balaymo babaen iti panangdadaelmo iti adu a tattao, ken nagbasolka maibusor iti bagim.
Thou hast counselled shame to thy house, by cutting off many people, and sinning [against] thy soul.
11 Ta umasugto dagiti bato manipud iti pader, ket sumungbatto kadagitoy dagiti pasanggir a kayo.
For the stone will cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the wood [-work] will answer it.
12 'Asi pay ti mangibangon iti siudad babaen ti dara, ken ti mangibangon ti ili ti kinadangkes!'
Woe to him that buildeth a city with blood-guiltiness, and layeth the foundation of a town by wrong-doing.
13 Saan kadi a nagtaud kenni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-a ti nagbannugan dagiti tatao ket agpaay iti apuy ken banbannogen dagiti nasion dagiti bagbagida para iti awan?
Behold, is it not from the Lord of hosts that people shall labor for the very fire, and nations shall weary themselves for naught but vanity!
14 Ngem, mapnunto ti daga iti pannakaammo ti dayag ni Yahweh kas iti panangabbong dagiti dandanum iti baybay.
For the earth shall be filled with knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
15 'Asi pay ti mangmangted iti arak iti kaarrubana, ken sika a mangnaynayun iti sabidong agingga a mabartekmo ida tapno makitam ti kinalamu-lamoda!'
Woe unto him that maketh his neighbors drink, [to thee] that pourest out thy poisonous [wine], and makest them also drunken, in order to look on their nakedness!
16 Mapnoankanto iti bain saan ket a dayag! Uminom ka met iti daytoy, ket ipakitam ti kinalamu-lamom! Ti kopa ni Yahweh nga adda iti makannawan nga imana ket dumtengto kenka, ket abbonganto ti pannakaibabain ti dayawmo.
Thou art filled with shame instead of glory; drink thou also, and let thy nakedness be uncovered: there shall be turned around thee the cup of the Lord's right hand, and filthy spittle shall be on thy glory.
17 Ti kinaranggas a naaramid iti Lebanon ket abbungannakanto, ken ti pannakadadael dagiti narungsot nga ayup ket butbutngennakanto gapu iti dara dagiti lallaki ken gapu iti kinaranggas a naaramid iti daga, kadagiti siudad ken kadagiti amin nga agnanaed sadiay.
For the violence against Lebanon shall cover thee, and the destruction of beasts, which he terrified away; because of the blood of men, and the violence against the land, the town, and all that dwell therein.
18 Ania aya ti magun-odyo iti nakitikitan a ladawan? Ta ti nangikitikit iti daytoy, wenno ti nangaramid iti ladawan manipud iti narunaw a landok ket maysa a mangisursuro iti inuulbod; ta agtaltalek isuna iti mismo nga aramid ti imana idi inaramidna dagitoy nga umel a didios.
What profiteth the graven image that its maker hath graven it? the molten image, and a teacher of falsehood? that the maker of his image trusteth therein, while making dumb idols?
19 'Asi pay ti mangibagbaga iti kayo, Bumangonka! Wenno iti naulimek a bato, Tumakderka!' Makaisuro kadi dagitoy a banbanag? Kitaenyo, nakalupkopan daytoy iti balitok ken pirak ngem saan a pulos aganges ti kaungganna.
Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake! Rouse up to the dumb stone. Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and no breath whatever is in its bosom.
20 Ngem ni Yahweh ket adda iti nasantoan a templona! Agulimekka iti sangoananna, O amin a daga!”
But the Lord is in his holy temple: be silent before him all the earth.
