< 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.
I will stand at my guard post and station myself on the watchtower, and I will watch carefully to see what he will say to me and how I should turn from my complaint.
2 Simmungbat ni Yahweh kaniak a kinunana, “Isuratmo daytoy a sirmata, ket isuratmo a nabatad kadagiti tapi ti bato tapno makataray ti mangbasa kadagitoy!
Yahweh answered me and said, “Record this vision, and write plainly on the tablets so that the one reading them might run.
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 the vision is yet for a future time and will finally speak and not fail. Though it delays, wait for it. For it will surely come and will not tarry.
4 Kitaem! Ti tao nga agtaltalek iti kaungganda ket awan pagbanaganna. Ngem ti nalinteg ket agbiagto babaen iti pammatina!
Look! The one whose desires are not right within him is puffed up. But the righteous will live by his 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 )
For wine is a betrayer of the arrogant young man so that he will not abide, but enlarges his desire like the grave and, like death, is never satisfied. He gathers to himself every nation and gathers up for himself all of the peoples. (Sheol )
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 create a saying to ridicule him and a taunting song about him, saying, 'Woe to the one increasing what is not his! For how long will you increase the weight of the pledges you have taken?'
7 Saanto kadi a tumakder a dagus dagiti agngarngaryet kenka, ken saanto kadi a makariing dagiti mangbutbuteng kenka? Agbalinkanto a biktimada!
Will the ones biting at you not rise up suddenly, and the ones terrifying you awaken? You will become a victim for 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 you have plundered many peoples, all the remnant of the peoples will plunder you. For you have shed human blood and acted with violence against the land, the cities, and all who live in them.
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 the one who carves out evil gains for his house, so he can set his nest on high to keep himself safe from the hand of evil.'
10 Nangpartuatka iti pannakaibabain para iti balaymo babaen iti panangdadaelmo iti adu a tattao, ken nagbasolka maibusor iti bagim.
You have devised shame for your house by cutting off many people, and have sinned against yourself.
11 Ta umasugto dagiti bato manipud iti pader, ket sumungbatto kadagitoy dagiti pasanggir a kayo.
For the stones will cry out from the wall, and the rafters of timber will answer them,
12 'Asi pay ti mangibangon iti siudad babaen ti dara, ken ti mangibangon ti ili ti kinadangkes!'
'Woe to the one who builds a city with blood, and who establishes a town in iniquity.'
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?
Is it not from Yahweh of hosts that peoples labor for fire and all the other nations weary themselves for nothing?
14 Ngem, mapnunto ti daga iti pannakaammo ti dayag ni Yahweh kas iti panangabbong dagiti dandanum iti baybay.
Yet the land will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Yahweh 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 to the one who forces his neighbors to drink— you express your anger over and you make them drunk in order to look at 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.
You will be filled with shame instead of glory. Now it is your turn! Drink, and you will expose your uncircumcised foreskin! The cup in Yahweh's right hand is coming around to you, and disgrace will cover your 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.
The violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you and the destruction of animals will terrify you. For you have shed human blood and you have acted with violence against the land, the cities, and all who live in them.
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 does the carved figure profit you? For the one who has carved it, or who casts a figure from molten metal, is a teacher of lies; for he trusts his own handiwork when he makes these mute gods.
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 to the one saying to the wood, Wake up! Or to the silent stone, Arise!' Do these things teach? See, it is overlaid with gold and silver, but there is no breath at all within it.
20 Ngem ni Yahweh ket adda iti nasantoan a templona! Agulimekka iti sangoananna, O amin a daga!”
But Yahweh is in his holy temple! Be silent before him, all the land.”
