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 take my stand on my watch-tower, and station myself on a turret. I will watch to see what the Lord will say to me, what answer he will make to my complaint.
2 Un Tas Kungs man atbildēja un sacīja: raksti to parādīšanu un uzraksti to uz galdiem, ka to var viegli lasīt.
Then the Lord answered me and said: Inscribe the vision plainly on tablets, so that even someone running by could read 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.
Though the vision waits for the time set, it hastens to fulfilment and will not fail; Though it linger long, wait for it. For it surely will come and will not be delayed.
4 Redzi, dvēsele viņam ir pārgalvīga un netaisna, bet taisnais dzīvos caur savu ticību.
The strength of the proud fails, but the upright lives by their faithfulness.
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 h7585)
Wealth is treacherous, the arrogant never have enough. They make their desire as wide as Sheol, are like death, unsatisfied, For they gather to themselves all the nations, bring together to themselves all peoples. (Sheol h7585)
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.
Shouldn’t everyone mock them? sing a taunt-song against them, and say: Woe to the person who amasses what is not theirs, and loads them self down with goods taken in pledge!
7 Vai tad nejauši necelsies tavi parādu dzinēji un neuzmodīsies tavi spaidītāji? Un tu viņiem tapsi par laupījumu.
Won’t your creditors suddenly rise, and those who will overthrow you awake, and you become their prey?
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.
For as you have plundered many peoples, the survivors will prey upon you. You have shed blood and committed violence to the earth, peoples and their cities.
9 Vai tam, kas netaisnu mantu krāj savam namam, ka savu ligzdu taisa augstā vietā, lai no ļaunuma izglābjās.
Woe to you who seeks unjust gain for your dynasty, who sets your nest on high to be safe from the reach of misfortune!
10 Kauna lietu tu esi izdomājis savam namam, izdeldēdams daudz ļaužu; tā tu esi grēkojis pret savu dvēseli.
You have planned only shame for your dynasty. You have destroyed many peoples, and brought guilt upon yourself;
11 Jo akmens mūrī brēks un baļķis griestos viņam atbildēs.
the stone will cry out from the wall, and the beam from the timber will answer it.
12 Vai tam, kas pilsētas uzceļ ar asinīm un kas pilis uztaisa ar netaisnību!
Woe to the person who builds a city by bloodshed, and founds a town by crime
13 Redzi, vai tas nav no Tā Kunga Cebaot, ka ļaudis strādā priekš uguns un tautas darbojās velti?
while the peoples toil for what fires will consume, and the nations weary themselves for nothing! This the Lord of hosts has said,
14 Jo zeme taps piepildīta ar Tā Kunga godības atzīšanu, kā ūdens apklāj jūras dibenu.
and the earth will be as full of the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the seas are full of water.
15 Vai tam, kas savu tuvāku dzirdina, Tavas dusmas piejaukdams, un viņu piedzirdina, ka var redzēt viņa plikumu!
Woe to him who in fury gives drink to his neighbor to make him drunk, and see him naked.
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 shame, not glory; drink yourself and be uncovered. The cup from the Lord’s hand will pass in turn to you, and shame 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 violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, the destruction of animals will terrify you, because you shed people’s blood on the earth, destroyed people and their cities.
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?
What use is an idol? A human made it, a metal image. It cannot speak, it cannot teach truth, Why does its maker trust it?
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 the person who says to a block, awake! to a dumb stone, arise! What can it teach? It may be set with gold and silver, but there is no breath at all within it.
20 Bet Tas Kungs ir savā svētā namā; ciet klusu viņa priekšā, visa pasaule!
The Lord is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him!
