< Habakoka 2 >
1 Hitsangana eo ambonin’ ny fitazanako aho Ary hijoro eo ambonin’ ny manda, Hiandry hahitako izay holazainy amiko Sy izay havaliko amin’ ny fitarainako.
I will stand upon my watch, and fix my foot upon the tower: and I will watch, to see what will be said to me, and what I may answer to him that reproveth me.
2 Dia namaly ahy Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Soraty ny fahitana, ka ataovy velona tsara ny soratra eo amin’ ny fàfana, Mba ho azon’ ny mihazakazaka hovakina aza.
And the Lord answered me, and said: Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables: that he that readeth it may run over it.
3 Fa ny fahitana dia mbola ho amin’ ny fotoan’ andro, Ary mikendry ny farany izy ka tsy ho diso; Eny, na dia mitaredretra aza izy, andraso ihany, Fa ho avy tokoa izy ka tsy hijanona.
For as yet the vision is far off, and it shall appear at the end, and shall not lie: if it make any delay, wait for it: for it shall surely come, and it shall not be slack.
4 Indro, feno avonavona ny fanahin’ ireny, fa tsy mahitsy ao anatiny, Fa ny marina ho velon’ ny finoany.
Behold, he that is unbelieving, his soul shall not be right in himself: but the just shall live in his faith.
5 Ary koa, mamitaka ny divay; Ny olona miavonavona tsy mba mahatoetra, Dia ilay mitanatana vava tahaka ny fiainan-tsi-hita, Eny, toy ny fahafatesana, ka tsy mety voky, Fa manangona ny firenena rehetra ho ao aminy Sy mamory ny olona rehetra ho ao aminy. (Sheol )
And as wine deceiveth him that drinketh it: so shall the proud man be, and he shall not be honoured: who hath enlarged his desire like hell: and is himself like death, and he is never satisfied: but will gather together unto him all nations, and heap together unto him all people. (Sheol )
6 Tsy hanao oha-teny hamelezana azy va ireto rehetra ireto? Tsy hanao eson-teny sy fitenenana hanoherana azy va izy ka hanao hoe: Lozan’ izay mahery mandroaka ny tsy azy! Mandra-pahoviana! dia ilay mivesatra ny zavatra nalaina ho tsatòka
Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a dark speech concerning him: and it shall be said: Woe to him that heapeth together that which is not his own? how long also doth he load himself with thick clay?
7 Tsy hitsangana tampoka va izay hanaikitra anao, Ary tsy hifoha va izay hanaitaitra anao, Ka ho babony ianao?
Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee: and they be stirred up that shall tear thee, and thou shalt be a spoil to them?
8 Fa efa namabo firenena maro ianao, Ka dia mba hobaboin’ ny sisa rehetra amin’ ny firenena kosa, Noho ny ran’ ny olona sy ny fandozana natao tamin’ ny tany, Dia tamin’ ny tanàna sy ny mponina rehetra ao aminy.
Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all that shall be left of the people shall spoil thee: because of men’s blood, and for the iniquity of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
9 Lozan’ izay fatra-pila harena amin’ ny tsy marina ho an’ ny taranany, Hanaovany ny akaniny any amin’ ny avo, Mba tsy ho tratry ny tanan’ ny loza
Woe to him that gathereth together an evil covetousness to his house, that his nest may be on high, and thinketh he may be delivered out of the hand of evil.
10 Efa namoron-tsaina izay hahatonga henatra ho an’ ny taranakao ianao, Dia ny handringanana firenena maro; Ary nankahà-doza hihatra amin’ ny ainao ianao.
Thou hast devised confusion to thy house, thou hast cut off many people, and thy soul hath sinned.
11 Fa hitaraina ny vato ao amin’ ny rindrina, Ary ny sakamandimby ao amin’ ny trano no hamaly azy.
For the stone shall cry out of the wall: and the timber that is between the joints of the building, shall answer.
12 Lozan’ izay manao vohitra amin’ ny fandatsahan-drà Sy manorina tanàna amin’ ny heloka!
Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and prepareth a city by iniquity.
13 Indro, tsy avy amin’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, va no hiasan’ ny olona ho an’ ny afo, Sy hisasaran’ ny firenena noho ny zava-poana?
Are not these things from the Lord of hosts? for the people shall labour in a great fire: and the nations in vain, and they shall faint.
14 Fa ny tany ho feno ny fahalalana ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah, Toy ny fanaron’ ny rano ny fanambanin’ ny ranomasina.
For the earth shall be filled, that men may know the glory of the Lord, as waters covering the sea.
15 Lozan’ izay mampisotro divay ny namany Dia ianao izay manampy fahatezerana ka mampahamano azy, Mba hijery ny fitanjahany;
Woe to him that giveth drink to his friend, and presenteth his gall, and maketh him drunk, that he may behold his nakedness.
16 Efa feno henatra ianao, fa tsy voninahitra; Mba sotroy koa, ka mitanjaha; Hatolotra anao ny kapoaka eny an-tanana ankavanan’ i Jehovah, Ary fahamenarana no ho amin’ ny voninahitrao.
Thou art filled with shame instead of glory: drink thou also, and fall fast asleep: the cup of the right hand of the Lord shall compass thee, and shameful vomiting shall be on thy glory.
17 Fa hanody anao ny loza natao tamin’ i Libanona Sy ny fandringanana mahatahotra namelezana ny biby, Noho ny ran’ ny olona sy ny loza natao tamin’ ny tany, Dia tamin’ ny tanàna sy ny mponina rehetra ao aminy.
For the iniquity of Libanus shall cover thee, and the ravaging of beasts shall terrify them because of the blood of men, and the iniquity of the land, and of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
18 Mahasoa inona ny sarin-javatra voasokitra, No misokitra azy ny mpanao azy? Na ny sarin-javatra an-idina sy ny mpampianatra lainga, No matoky azy izay namorona azy Tamin’ ny nanaovany sampy moana?
What doth the graven thing avail, because the maker thereof hath graven it, a molten, and a false image? because the forger thereof hath trusted in a thing of his own forging, to make dumb idols.
19 Lozan’ izay manao amin’ ny hazo hoe: Mifohaza! Ary amin’ ny vato moana hoe: Mitsangàna! Hampianatra va ireo? He! voapetaka takela-bolamena sy volafotsy ihany izy, Nefa tsy misy fanahy akory ao anatiny.
Woe to him that saith to wood: Awake: to the dumb stone: Arise: can it teach? Behold, it is laid over with gold, and silver, and there is no spirit in the bowels thereof.
20 Jehovah dia ao amin’ ny tempoliny masìna; Mangìna eo anatrehany, ry tany rehetra!
But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
