Habakoka 2
1 Hijohañe am-pijilovako eo iraho, hijadoñe am-pitalakesañ’ abo ey, hañilo mb’alafe’e mb’eo handrèndreke ze ho tsarae’e amako, naho ze hatoiko t’ie hiveroke.
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 Nanoiñe ahy t’Iehovà ami’ty hoe: Sokiro i aroñaroñey, bakabakafo an-takelake, hahavakia’ondaty milay.
And Jehovah answereth me and saith: 'Write a vision, and explain on the tables, That he may run who is reading it.
3 Ho amy andro namantañañ’ azey i tokiy, i figadoñañey ro enta’e, le tsy handañitse ndra t’ie tambatse, liñiso, toe ho tondroke le tsy hihenekeneke.
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 Heheke ty miebotsebots’ an-troke, tsy vañoñe ty ama’e ao; fe veloñe amy fatokisa’ey ty vantañe.
Lo, a presumptuous one! Not upright is his soul within him, And the righteous by his stedfastness liveth.
5 Mbore fañahie’ ty divay ty mpirengevoke tsy ho tamàñe añ’akiba’e ao, fa ampienare’e hoe i Tsikeokeokey ty fañiria’e, manahake o vilasio t’ie tsy mb’ia tsy etsake, fa atonto’e ama’e ze hene fifeheañe, ampitoabore’e ama’e ze kila ondaty. (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 Aa vaho tsy songa handrambe razan-drehake ama’e irezay, handrabioñe aze an-titse, ami’ty hoe: Hankàñe amy nanontoñe ty tsy azey! akore ty hatrela’ ty nilogologoa’e tsoake!
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 hitroatse amy zao hao o mipay avak’ ama’oo? tsy ho tsekake hao o mampinevenevetse azo? ihe ho fikopaha’e.
Do not thy usurers instantly rise up, And those shaking thee awake up, And thou hast been for a spoil to them?
8 Aa kanao nikopahe’o o kilakila’ondatio, le ho volose’ o sehanga’ ondatio ka irehe; ty amo lio’ ondatio, naho i heloke nanoañe amy taney, naho amy rovaiy, vaho amo hene mpimoneñeo.
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 Hekoheko amy mpikatramo vara ho a i anjomba’eiy, hañonjona’e ambone ey i kiboho’ey, hivotsora’e ami’ty haozara’ o ratio!
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 fa nikinia’o hasalarañe ty akiba’o hañitoa’o t’indaty maro, vaho amam-kakeo am-bata’o.
Thou hast counselled a shameful thing to thy house, To cut off many peoples, and sinful [is] thy soul.
11 Hikoike boak’an-drindriñe ao ty vato, hanoiñe aze i tsotsòke boak’ an-katae aoy:
For a stone from the wall doth cry out, And a holdfast from the wood answereth it.
12 Hankàñe! ty mpamboatse rova an-dio, ie mañoren-tanàñe an-tahiñe.
Woe [to] him who is building a city by blood, And establishing a city by iniquity.
13 Inao! tsy Iehovà’ i Màroy ty amokora’ ondaty ho ami’ty afo, naho ty amozaha’ o fifeheañeo ho an-kakoahañe.
Lo, is it not from Jehovah of Hosts And peoples are fatigued for fire, And nations for vanity are weary?
14 Toe ho lifotse ty fahafohinañe ty enge’ Iehovà ty tane toy, manahake ty fañampoan-drano i riakey.
For full is the earth of the knowledge of the honour of Jehovah, As waters cover [the bottom of] a sea.
15 Hankàñe ami’ty mampigenoke i rañe’ey, ie izonjoña’e i zonjòñey, hampijik’ aze am-bòreke, hisamba’e i heña’ey!
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 Àtsan-kasalaran-drehe fa tsy engeñe, minoma ka, ho zoeñe t’ie tsy sinavatse, hitoliha’ ty fitovim-pitàn-kavana’ Iehovà, ho losore’ ty hameñarañe ty enge’o.
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 Hanaroñ’ azo ty fijoiañe i Libanone, naho ty fanjamanañe biby nampalý iareo; ty ami’ty lio’ ondatio naho ty fampiantoañe i taney, i rovay, vaho o mpimoneñe ao iabio.
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 Ino ty tombo’ i sare-sokitsey, ie tsinene ty nanao aze, sare nitranaheñe naho mpañoke vande; t’ie iatoa’ i mpandranjy azey hanoe’e samposampo moañe?
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 Hekoheko ami’ty manao ty hoe ami’ty hatae: Mañentea! naho amy vato moañey: Miongaha! Mahafanoro hao izay? Hehe t’ie nohoñem-bolamena naho volafoty, fe tsy aman-kofòke.
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 Añ’anjomba’e masiñe ao t’Iehovà; mianjìña añatrefa’e eo ry an-tane-bey atoy.
And Jehovah [is] in His holy temple, Be silent before Him, all the earth!
