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.
[After I said that, I said to myself, ] “I will climb up into my watchtower, and stand there at my guard post. I will wait there to find out what Yahweh will say, what he will reply to what I have complained about.”
2 Un Tas Kungs man atbildēja un sacīja: raksti to parādīšanu un uzraksti to uz galdiem, ka to var viegli lasīt.
Then Yahweh replied to me, “Write plainly on tablets [what I am revealing to you in] this vision, [and then read it to a messenger] in order that he can run with it [to tell it to] other people.
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.
In this vision [I will be talking about things that will happen] in the future. Now is not the time when those things will happen, but they certainly will happen, and when they occur, they will occur quickly, and they will not be delayed. Now you [want those things to happen immediately, but] they are not happening. But wait patiently for them [to happen]!
4 Redzi, dvēsele viņam ir pārgalvīga un netaisna, bet taisnais dzīvos caur savu ticību.
Think about the proud [people of Babylonia]! They are certainly not doing what is righteous. But people who are righteous will live because they faithfully [do what I want them to do].
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)
If people [trust in their wealth], they will deceive themselves, and proud people are never able to rest. [It is as though] the greedy people [of Babylonia open their mouths] as wide as the place where dead people are, and they never have enough, like [the place where] dead people go never has enough dead people [PRS]. The [armies of Babylonia] conquer many nations for themselves, and capture all their people. (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.
But [soon] all those [whom they have captured] will ridicule [the soldiers from Babylonia]! They will make fun of them, saying, ‘Terrible things will happen to you who have stolen things [from other countries]! You got many things by forcing people to give them to you. [But you certainly will not keep those things] for a long time [RHQ]!’
7 Vai tad nejauši necelsies tavi parādu dzinēji un neuzmodīsies tavi spaidītāji? Un tu viņiem tapsi par laupījumu.
Suddenly those whom you (oppressed/treated cruelly) will cause you to tremble, and they will take away all the things that you have stolen from 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.
You stole things from the people of many nations. You murdered [MTY] people of many people-groups, and you destroyed their land and their cities. So those who are still alive will steal valuable things from you.
9 Vai tam, kas netaisnu mantu krāj savam namam, ka savu ligzdu taisa augstā vietā, lai no ļaunuma izglābjās.
Terrible things will happen to you [people of Babylonia] who build big houses with money that you got by forcing others to give it to you. You are proud and you think that your houses will be safe because you have built them in places where you can easily defend them.
10 Kauna lietu tu esi izdomājis savam namam, izdeldēdams daudz ļaužu; tā tu esi grēkojis pret savu dvēseli.
But because you have destroyed others, you have caused your family [MTY] to be shamed/disgraced, and you yourselves will be killed.
11 Jo akmens mūrī brēks un baļķis griestos viņam atbildēs.
[It is as though] the stones in the walls [of your houses] cry out to accuse you, and [it is as though] the beams [in your ceilings] also say the same things.
12 Vai tam, kas pilsētas uzceļ ar asinīm un kas pilis uztaisa ar netaisnību!
Terrible things will happen to you [people of Babylonia] who kill people [MTY] in order to build cities, cities that you build by using money that you have gotten by committing crimes.
13 Redzi, vai tas nav no Tā Kunga Cebaot, ka ļaudis strādā priekš uguns un tautas darbojās velti?
But the Commander of the armies of angels has [RHQ] declared that everything that is built by people who do things like that [will be destroyed by] fire; they will have worked hard uselessly.
14 Jo zeme taps piepildīta ar Tā Kunga godības atzīšanu, kā ūdens apklāj jūras dibenu.
But [in contrast], like [SIM] the oceans are filled with water, the earth will be filled with [people who] know that Yahweh is very great.
15 Vai tam, kas savu tuvāku dzirdina, Tavas dusmas piejaukdams, un viņu piedzirdina, ka var redzēt viņa plikumu!
Terrible things will happen to you [people of Babylonia] who cause people who live in nearby countries to become drunk. You force them to drink a lot of wine from wineskins [until they are drunk and then they walk around] naked, in order that you can see that.
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.
But you are the ones who [soon] will be disgraced instead of being honored. [It will be as though you are forced to] drink [a lot of wine] in order that you will also stagger [around, drunk]. You will drink the wine [that symbolizes that Yahweh will punish you], and he will cause you to be disgraced instead of being greatly respected [any more].
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.
You did violent [PRS] things to [the people in] Lebanon, and you killed the wild animals [there], but you will be punished severely for doing that. You have killed [MTY] many people and you have destroyed their lands 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?
[You people of Babylonia need to know that your] idols are completely [RHQ] useless, because it is people who made them. Statues that have been carved or made in a mold deceive you. Those who trust in idols are trusting in things that they themselves created, things that cannot speak!
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.
Terrible things will happen to you who say to lifeless idols that are made of wood, ‘Wake up!’ Idols certainly cannot [RHQ] tell you what you should do; they [look nice/beautiful because] they are covered with silver and gold, but they are not alive.
20 Bet Tas Kungs ir savā svētā namā; ciet klusu viņa priekšā, visa pasaule!
But Yahweh is in his holy temple; everyone on the earth should be silent in his presence.”
