Habakkuk 2
1 Nga ac fanyak nu fin tower in soan luk, ac tupan lah mea LEUM GOD El ac sap nga in fahk, ac top fuka El ac oru nu ke torkaskas luk.
I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will look forth to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer as to my reproof.
2 Pa inge top ma LEUM GOD El ase nu sik. El fahk, “Simusla ma nga ac akkalemye nu sum inge fin eot kle in arulana kalem, mwet uh in mau ku in ngetang na liye ac kalem kac.
And Jehovah answered me and said, Write the vision, and engrave it upon tablets, that he may run that readeth it.
3 Simusla ma inge mweyen soenna pacl in sikyak. Tusruktu in pacl na sa, ma nga akkalemye nu sum uh ac fah akpwayeiyuk. Sahp ac nunkeyuk mu ac paht in tuku, tusruktu soano na. Pwayena lah ac sikyak — ac fah tia kohtla nwe tok.
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but it hasteth to the end, and shall not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; for it will surely come, it will not delay.
4 Pa inge kas sac: ‘Elos su koluk elos ac tia painmoulla, a elos su suwosna fah moul mweyen elos inse pwaye nu sin God.’”
Behold, his soul is puffed up, it is not upright within him: but the just shall live by his faith.
5 Kasrup uh kiapwekutla. Mwet rapku uh elos orek funmwet ac koflana okaki — elos oana fulan misa, tia ku in muti. Pa sis elos srike in mweun ac eisla mutunfacl puspis nu selos sifacna. (Sheol h7585)
And moreover, the wine is treacherous: he is a proud man, and keepeth not at rest, he enlargeth his desire as Sheol, and he is like death and cannot be satisfied; and he assembleth unto him all nations, and gathereth unto him all peoples. (Sheol h7585)
6 Mwet sruoh uh ac fah israsrinkusrai mwet ma sruokolosi, ac akkalemye sulung lalos ac fahk, “Kowos eis ma su tia ma lowos; tusruktu ac kunausyukla kowos! Kowos ac oru ange nwe ngac, in eis kasrpowos ke funmwet selos su srakna akfalye soemoul la nu suwos?”
Shall not all these take up a proverb about him, and a taunting riddle against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? — and to him that loadeth himself with pledges!
7 Tusruktu ac tiana paht, kowos su sruokya mwet saya ac fah oasr pac soemoul lowos, na ac fah oasr sap ku nu suwos in akfalye soemoul lowos wi ma laesla. Mwet lokoalok fah tuku ac oru kowos in rarrar ke sangeng. Elos ac fah utyak nu in acn suwos ac eisla ma nukewa lowos!
Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and they awake up that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
8 Kowos muta eis ma lun mwet fin mutunfacl puspis, na inge elos su painmoulla fah eisla ma lowos ke sripen akmas ac lokoalok kowos oru nu sin mwet faclu ac siti selos.
Because thou hast plundered many nations, all the rest of the peoples shall plunder thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence [done] to the land, to the city, and all that dwell therein.
9 We nu suwos! Kowos akkasrupye sou lowos sifacna ke ma kowos eisla ke funmwet, ac srike in oakiya lohm suwos yen wangin mwe lokoalok fah sun!
Woe to him that getteth iniquitous gain to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the grasp of evil!
10 A inkanek koluk lowos an akmwekinye sou lowos. Ke kowos kunausla mutunfacl puspis, kowos pwanma ongoiya nu fowos sifacna.
Thou hast devised shame to thy house, by cutting off many peoples, and hast sinned against thine own soul.
11 Finne eot ke kalkal uh elos wowoyak pac lain kowos, ac loaloa in lohm uh etai pusren wowo lun eot uh.
For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
12 We nu suwos! Kowos oakiya sie siti fin ma koluk, ac musaela ke akmas.
Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and establisheth a city by unrighteousness!
13 Mwet in acn ma kowos kutangla elos kemkatu ke wangin mweyen ma nukewa elos musaela firiryak. LEUM GOD Kulana pa oru ma inge.
Behold, is it not of Jehovah of hosts that the peoples labour for the fire, and the nations weary themselves in vain?
14 Tusruktu faclu ac fah arulana sessesla ke eteyen wolana lun LEUM GOD oana ke meoa uh sessesla ke kof.
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah as the waters cover the sea.
15 We nu suwos! Kowos akpusiselye ac aklusrongtenye mwet tulan lowos in kasrkusrak lowos, ac kowos oru elos tukulkul oana elos in sruhi.
Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, — that pourest out thy flask, and makest [him] drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
16 Ke ma inge, kowos ac fah apinyukla ke mwekin ac tia ke akfulat. Kowos sifacna ac fah nimnim ac tukulkul. LEUM GOD El ac fah oru tuh kowos in nim ke cup in kalyei lowos sifacna, na akfulat nu suwos ac fah ekla nu ke akmwekin.
Thou art filled with shame instead of glory; drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of Jehovah's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and a shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.
17 Kowos tuh pakiya insak in Lebanon; inge ac fah pakpuki kowos. Kowos onela kosro in acn we; inge kosro ac fah aklangingye kowos. Ma inge ac sikyak ke sripen akmas ma kowos tuh oru, ac ke sripen lokoalok yohk lowos lain mwet faclu ac siti lalos.
For the violence [done] to Lebanon shall cover thee, and the destruction of beasts which made them afraid; because of men's blood, and for the violence [done] to the land, to the city, and all that dwell therein.
18 Mea, oasr sripen ma sruloala uh? Ma sruloala se ma na orekla ke poun mwet, ac wangin ma el ku in fahk. Mea wo el ac oru nu sin mwet ma oralla uh ku elos in lulalfongel — god na tia ku in kaskas se pa el.
What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it? the molten image, and the teacher of falsehood, that the maker of his work dependeth thereon, to make dumb idols?
19 We nu suwos! Kowos fahk nu sin sie polosak, “Tukakek!” ku nu sin sie eot, “Tuyak!” Ya sie ma sruloala ku in akkalemye kutena ma? Finne mosrweyukla manol ke silver ac gold, tusruktu wangin moul in el.
Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake! to the dumb stone, Arise! Shall it teach? Behold it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
20 LEUM GOD El oasr in Tempul mutal lal; lela mwet e nukewa fin faclu in misla ye mutal.
But Jehovah is in his holy temple. Let all the earth keep silence before him!
