< Habakuka 2 >
1 Es stāvu uz vakts un kāpju tornī un skatos, lai redzu, ko Viņš man sacīs, un ko man būs atbildēt uz manu sūdzību.
I will stand firm during my watch, and fix my position over the fortification. And I will observe carefully, to see what might be said to me and what I might respond to my opponent.
2 Un Tas Kungs man atbildēja un sacīja: raksti to parādīšanu un uzraksti to uz galdiem, ka to var viegli lasīt.
And the Lord responded to me and said: Write the vision and explain it on tablets, so that he who reads it may run through it.
3 Tai parādīšanai ir savs noliktais laiks un tā steidzās uz galu un nevils; jebšu tā gan kavējās, tomēr gaidi, jo tā nāktin nāks un nepaliks nepiepildīta.
For as yet the vision is far off, and it will appear in the end, and it will not lie. If it expresses any delay, wait for it. For it is arriving and it will arrive, and it will not be hindered.
4 Redzi, dvēsele viņam ir pārgalvīga un netaisna, bet taisnais dzīvos caur savu ticību.
Behold, he who is unbelieving, his soul will not be right within himself; but he who is just shall live in his faith.
5 Un turklāt kā viltīgs vīns ir lepns vīrs; tas nepastāv; tas atpleš savu dvēseli platu kā elli, un kā nāve tas nav pieēdināms; tas rauj pie sevis visas tautas un sakrāj pie sevis visus ļaudis. (Sheol )
And in the manner that wine deceives the heavy drinker, so will the arrogant man be deceived, and he will not be honored. He has enlarged his life like hellfire, and himself like death, and he is never fulfilled. And he will gather to himself all nations, and he will amass for himself all peoples. (Sheol )
6 Vai tad šie visi par to neuzņems sakāmu vārdu un mīklu un dziesmas par to? Un tie sacīs: vai tam, kas savu padomu vairo ar svešu mantu, - cik ilgi tas būs? Un uzkrauj sev smagus parādus.
Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and an enigmatic utterance about him? And it will be said, “Woe to him who increases what is not his own.” How long, then, will he lay down dense clay against himself?
7 Vai tad nejauši necelsies tavi parādu dzinēji un neuzmodīsies tavi spaidītāji? Un tu viņiem tapsi par laupījumu.
Shall they not suddenly rise up, who would bite you, and be stirred up, who would tear you, so that you will be a prey for them?
8 Tāpēc ka tu daudz tautas esi aplaupījis, tad visas atlikušās tautas tevi aplaupīs, cilvēku asiņu dēļ un tā varas darba dēļ pie zemes, pie pilsētām un pie visiem viņu iedzīvotājiem.
Because you have despoiled many peoples, all those who are left of the people shall despoil you, because of the blood of men, and the iniquity of the earth, of the city and all who dwell therein.
9 Vai tam, kas netaisnu mantu krāj savam namam, ka savu ligzdu taisa augstā vietā, lai no ļaunuma izglābjās.
Woe to him who gathers together an evil greed for his house, so that his nest may be exalted, and thinking that he might free himself from the hand of evil.
10 Kauna lietu tu esi izdomājis savam namam, izdeldēdams daudz ļaužu; tā tu esi grēkojis pret savu dvēseli.
You have devised confusion for your house, you have cut to pieces many peoples, and your soul has sinned.
11 Jo akmens mūrī brēks un baļķis griestos viņam atbildēs.
For the stone will cry out from the wall, and the wood that is between the joints of the building will respond.
12 Vai tam, kas pilsētas uzceļ ar asinīm un kas pilis uztaisa ar netaisnību!
Woe to him who builds a town with blood and prepares a city by iniquity.
13 Redzi, vai tas nav no Tā Kunga Cebaot, ka ļaudis strādā priekš uguns un tautas darbojās velti?
Are not these things before the Lord of hosts? For the people will labor amid a great fire, and the nations will labor in emptiness, and they will fail.
14 Jo zeme taps piepildīta ar Tā Kunga godības atzīšanu, kā ūdens apklāj jūras dibenu.
For the earth shall be filled, that they might know the glory of the Lord, like the waters spreading over the sea.
15 Vai tam, kas savu tuvāku dzirdina, Tavas dusmas piejaukdams, un viņu piedzirdina, ka var redzēt viņa plikumu!
Woe to anyone who gives a drink to a friend, releasing a drug and inebriating, so as to look upon their nakedness.
16 Tu esi pieēdināts ar kaunu, ne ar godu. Dzer tu arīdzan un atklāji priekšādu! Tā Kunga labās rokas biķeris griezīsies pie tevis un negods nāks pār tavu godību.
You are filled with disgrace in place of glory. So then, drink and fall fast asleep, for the cup of the right hand of the Lord will surround you, and a disgraceful vomit will cover your glory.
17 Jo tas varas darbs pie Lībanus tevi apklās, un tā zvēru izskaušana, ar ko tu tos iztraucējis, to cilvēku asiņu dēļ un tā varas darba dēļ pie zemes, pie pilsētām un pie visiem viņu iedzīvotājiem.
For the iniquity of Lebanon will cover you, and the devastation of animals which will deter them from the blood of men, and the iniquity of the earth and the city, and of all who dwell therein.
18 Ko tad palīdzēs tēls, ka griezējs to izgriezis, un lieta bilde un melu mācītājs, un ka tēlotājs paļaujas uz savu tēlu un taisa mēmus dievekļus?
Of what benefit is the graven image? For its maker has formed it, a molten and imaginary deception. For its maker has hoped in a figment of his own creation, so as to make a dumb likeness.
19 Vai tam, kas uz koku saka: uzmosties! - un uz mēmo akmeni: celies! Vai tas varētu mācīt? Redzi, tas ir aplikts ar zeltu un sudrabu, bet dvašas iekš viņa nav.
Woe to him who says to wood, “Awaken,” to the silent stone, “Arise.” Is it able to teach? Behold, it has been entirely covered with gold and silver; and there is no spirit at all in its inner workings.
20 Bet Tas Kungs ir savā svētā namā; ciet klusu viņa priekšā, visa pasaule!
But the Lord is in his holy temple. May all the earth be silent before his face.
