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.
On my charge I stand, and I station myself on a bulwark, and I watch to see what He doth speak against me, and what I do reply to my reproof.
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 Jehovah answereth me and saith: 'Write a vision, and explain on the tables, That he may run who is reading 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 yet the vision [is] for a season, And it breatheth for the end, and doth not lie, If it tarry, wait for it, For surely it cometh, it is not late.
4 Indro, feno avonavona ny fanahin’ ireny, fa tsy mahitsy ao anatiny, Fa ny marina ho velon’ ny finoany.
Lo, a presumptuous one! Not upright is his soul within him, And the righteous by his stedfastness liveth.
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)
And also, because the wine [is] treacherous, A man is haughty, and remaineth not at home, Who hath enlarged as sheol his soul, And is as death that is not satisfied, And doth gather unto itself all the nations, And doth assemble unto itself all the 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
Do not these — all of them — against him a simile taken up, And a moral of acute sayings for him, And say, Woe [to] him who is multiplying [what is] not his? Till when also is he multiplying to himself heavy pledges?
7 Tsy hitsangana tampoka va izay hanaikitra anao, Ary tsy hifoha va izay hanaitaitra anao, Ka ho babony ianao?
Do not thy usurers instantly rise up, And those shaking thee awake up, And thou hast been for 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, Spoil thee do all the remnant of the peoples, Because of man's blood, and of violence [to] the land, [To] the city, and [to] all dwelling in it.
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 who is gaining evil gain for his house, To set on high his nest, To be delivered from 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 counselled a shameful thing to thy house, To cut off many peoples, and sinful [is] thy soul.
11 Fa hitaraina ny vato ao amin’ ny rindrina, Ary ny sakamandimby ao amin’ ny trano no hamaly azy.
For a stone from the wall doth cry out, And a holdfast from the wood answereth it.
12 Lozan’ izay manao vohitra amin’ ny fandatsahan-drà Sy manorina tanàna amin’ ny heloka!
Woe [to] him who is building a city by blood, And establishing 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?
Lo, is it not from Jehovah of Hosts And peoples are fatigued for fire, And nations for vanity are weary?
14 Fa ny tany ho feno ny fahalalana ny voninahitr’ i Jehovah, Toy ny fanaron’ ny rano ny fanambanin’ ny ranomasina.
For full is the earth of the knowledge of the honour of Jehovah, As waters cover [the bottom of] a sea.
15 Lozan’ izay mampisotro divay ny namany Dia ianao izay manampy fahatezerana ka mampahamano azy, Mba hijery ny fitanjahany;
Woe [to] him who is giving drink to his neighbour, Pouring out thy bottle, and also making drunk, In order to look on their 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 hast been filled — shame without honour, Drink thou also, and be uncircumcised, Turn round unto thee doth the cup of the right hand of Jehovah, And shameful spewing [is] on thine honour.
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 violence [to] Lebanon doth cover thee, And spoil of beasts doth affright them, Because of man's blood, and of violence [to] the land, [To] the city, and [to] all dwelling in it.
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 profit hath a graven image given That its former hath graven it? A molten image and teacher of falsehood, That trusted hath the former on his own formation — 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 who is saying to wood, 'Awake,' 'Stir up,' to a dumb stone, It a teacher! lo, it is overlaid — gold and silver, And there is no spirit in its midst.
20 Jehovah dia ao amin’ ny tempoliny masìna; Mangìna eo anatrehany, ry tany rehetra!
And Jehovah [is] in His holy temple, Be silent before Him, all the earth!
