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 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 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.
Then the Lord answered me and said: Inscribe the vision plainly on tablets, so that even someone running by could read 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.
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 Indro, feno avonavona ny fanahin’ ireny, fa tsy mahitsy ao anatiny, Fa ny marina ho velon’ ny finoany.
The strength of the proud fails, but the upright lives by their faithfulness.
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 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 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
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 Tsy hitsangana tampoka va izay hanaikitra anao, Ary tsy hifoha va izay hanaitaitra anao, Ka ho babony ianao?
Won’t your creditors suddenly rise, and those who will overthrow you awake, and you become their prey?
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.
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 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 you who seeks unjust gain for your dynasty, who sets your nest on high to be safe from the reach of misfortune!
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.
You have planned only shame for your dynasty. You have destroyed many peoples, and brought guilt upon yourself;
11 Fa hitaraina ny vato ao amin’ ny rindrina, Ary ny sakamandimby ao amin’ ny trano no hamaly azy.
the stone will cry out from the wall, and the beam from the timber will answer it.
12 Lozan’ izay manao vohitra amin’ ny fandatsahan-drà Sy manorina tanàna amin’ ny heloka!
Woe to the person who builds a city by bloodshed, and founds a town by crime
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?
while the peoples toil for what fires will consume, and the nations weary themselves for nothing! This the Lord of hosts has said,
14 Fa ny tany ho feno ny fahalalana ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah, Toy ny fanaron’ ny rano ny fanambanin’ ny ranomasina.
and the earth will be as full of the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the seas are full of water.
15 Lozan’ izay mampisotro divay ny namany Dia ianao izay manampy fahatezerana ka mampahamano azy, Mba hijery ny fitanjahany;
Woe to him who in fury gives drink to his neighbor to make him drunk, and see him naked.
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.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Jehovah dia ao amin’ ny tempoliny masìna; Mangìna eo anatrehany, ry tany rehetra!
The Lord is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him!
