हबकूक 2
1 म मेरो सुरक्षा-कक्षमा उभिनेछु र पहरा-पर्खालमा म बस्नेछु, र उहाँले मलाई के भन्नुहुनेछ, र म कसरी आफ्नो अभियोगबाट फर्कूँ भनेर हेर्नलाई म ध्यान दिनेछु ।
I will stand upon my watch, and mount upon the rock, and watch to see what he will say by me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
2 परमप्रभुले मलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, “यस दर्शनलाई पाटीहरूमा प्रष्टसँग लेख्, ताकि यो पढ्नेचाहिँ दौडोस् ।
And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision, and [that] plainly on a tablet, that he that reads it may run.
3 किनभने यो दर्शन भविष्यको समयको निम्ति हो र त्यो अन्ततः बोल्नेछ र विफल हुनेछैन । त्यसले ढिलाइ गरे तापनि, त्यसको प्रतीक्षा गर् । किनभने त्यो निश्चय नै आउनेछ र त्यसले बिलम्ब गर्नेछैन ।
For the vision [is] yet for a time, and it shall shoot forth at the end, and not in vain: though he should wait, wait for him; for he will surely come, and will not wait.
4 हेर्, गलत इच्छा गर्नेचाहिँ घमण्डले फुलेको छ । तर धर्मीचाहिँ आफ्नो विश्वासले जिउनेछ ।
If he should draw back, my soul has no pleasure in him: but the just shall live by my faith.
5 किनकि घमण्डी जवान मानिसको निम्ति मद्य विश्वासघाती हुन्छ, र यसैकारण त्यसले सहन सक्दैन, तर त्यसले आफ्ना इच्छाहरूलाई चिहानझैँ बढाउँछ, र त्यो मृत्युझैँ कहिल्यै सन्तुष्ट हुँदैन । त्यसले आफ्नो निम्ति सारा जाति र मानिसहरूलाई भेला गराउँछ । (Sheol h7585)
But the arrogant man and the scorner, the boastful man, shall not finish anything; who has enlarged his desire as the grave, and like death he is never satisfied, and he will gather to himself all the nations, and will receive to himself all the peoples. (Sheol h7585)
6 के यी सबैले त्यसको ठट्टा गर्ने एउटा यस्तो भनाइ र त्यसको विषयमा हाँसोको रूपमा यस्तो गीत सृजना गर्दैन र, ‘धिक्कार त्यसलाई जसले जे आफ्नो होइन त्यो थुपार्छ । कहिलेसम्म तैँले आफूले बन्धकमा लिएका कुराहरूको वजन बढाउँदै जान्छस्?’
Shall not all these take up a parable against him? and a proverb to tell against him? and they shall say, Woe to him that multiplies to himself the possessions which are not his! how long? and who heavily loads his yoke.
7 के तँलाई टोक्नेहरू अचानक उठ्नेछैनन्, अनि तँलाई त्रासमा राख्नेहरू जाग्नेछैनन्? तँ तिनीहरूका निम्ति शिकार बन्नेछस् ।
For suddenly there shall arise up those that bite him, and they that plot against you shall awake, and you shall be a plunder to them.
8 तैँले धेरै जातिहरूलाई लुटेको हुनाले, जाति-जातिहरूमा बाँकी रहेकाहरू सबैले तँलाई लुट्नेछन् । किनभने तैँले मानिसहरूका रगत बगाएको छस्, र देश, शहरहरु, र त्यसमा बसोबास गर्ने सबैको विरुद्ध हिंसात्मक काम गरेको छस् ।
Because you have spoiled many nations, all the nations that are left shall spoil [you], because of the blood of men, and the sins of the land and city, and of all that dwell in it.
9 ‘धिक्कार त्यसलाई जसले दुष्टको हातबाट आफैँलाई सुरक्षित राख्नलाई आफ्नो गुँड उच्च स्थानमा बनाउन सकोस् भनेर आफ्नो घरको निम्ति दुष्टताका मुनाफाबाट चीजहरू बनाउँछ ।’
Woe to him that covets an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evils.
10 तैँले धेरै मानिसहरूलाई सर्वनाश गरेर आफ्नो घरानाको निम्ति शर्म ल्याएको छस्, र आफ्नै विरुद्ध पाप गरेको छस् ।
You have devised shame to your house, you have utterly destroyed many nations, and your soul has sinned.
11 किनभने भित्ताबाट ढुङ्गाहरूले पुकार्नेछन्, र काठका दलिनहरूले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनेछन्,
For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beetle out of the timber shall speak.
12 ‘धिक्कार त्यसलाई जसले रगतले शहर बनाउँछ, र जसले अधर्ममा नगर स्थापना गर्दछ ।’
Woe to him that builds a city with blood, and establishes a city by unrighteousness.
13 के सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुले यो भन्नुभएको छैन र, जातिहरू आगोको निम्ति परिश्रम गर्दछन् र अरू सबै जातिहरू व्यर्थमा थकित हुन्छन्?
Are not these things of the Lord Almighty? surely many people have been exhausted in the fire, and many nations have fainted.
14 तथापि समुद्रलाई पानीले ढाकेझैँ सारा भुमि परमप्रभुको महिमाको ज्ञानले भरिनेछ ।
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord; it shall cover them as water.
15 ‘धिक्कार त्यसलाई जसले आफ्नो छिमेकीलाई मद्य पियाउन जोड गर्छ । तैँले आफ्नो रिस पोख्नलाई, र तिनीहरूको नग्नता हेर्नको निम्ति तिनीहरूलाई मद्यले टिल्ल पार्छस् ।’
Woe to him that gives his neighbour to drink the thick lees [of wine], and intoxicates [him], that he may look upon their secret parts.
16 तँ महिमाले होइन तर शर्मले भरिनेछस् । अब यो तेरो पालो हो! पिई र आफ्नो गुप्तांग देखा! परमप्रभुको दाहिने हातमा भएको कचौरा तँकहाँ आउँदै छ, र कलंकले तेरो महिमालाई ढाक्नेछ ।
Drink you also [your] fill of disgrace instead of glory: shake, O heart, and quake, the cup of the right hand of the Lord has come round upon you, and dishonour has gathered upon your glory.
17 लेबनानमाथि गरिएको हिंसाले तँलाई ढाक्नेछ र पशुहरूको सर्वनाशले तँलाई आतंकित बनाउनेछ । किनभने तैँले मानिसहरूका रगत बगाएको छस्, र देश, शहरहरु, र त्यसमा बसोबास गर्ने सबैको विरुद्ध तैँले हिंसक काम गरेको छस् ।
For the ungodliness of Libanus shall cover you, and distress because of wild beasts shall dismay you, because of the blood of men, and the sins of the land and city, and of all that dwell in it.
18 खोपेर बनाएको मुर्तिले तँलाई के लाभ हुन्छ? किनभने त्यो मुर्तिलाई खोपेर बनाउने, वा धातुलाई पगालेर मुर्ति बनाउनेचाहिँ झुटको शिक्षक हो, किनभने त्यसले यी बोल्न नसक्ने देवताहरू बनाएर आफ्नै हातका कलामाथि विश्वास गर्दछ ।
What profit it the graven image, that they have graven it? [one] has made it a molten work, a false image; for the maker has trusted in his work, to make dumb idols.
19 ‘धिक्कार त्यसलाई जसले काठलाई उठ भन्छ, वा बोल्न नसक्ने ढुङ्गालाई जाग भन्छ ।’ के यी कुराहरूले सिकाउन सक्छन्? हेर्, त्यो सुन र चाँदीले मोहोरिएको छ, तर त्यसभित्र सास नै छैन ।
Woe to him that says to the wood, Awake, arise; and to the stone, Be you exalted! whereas it is an image, and this is a casting of gold and silver, and there is no breath in it.
20 तर परमप्रभु उहाँको पवित्र मन्दिरमा हुनुहुन्छ । ए सारा भुमि उहाँको अगि शान्त होओ ।”
But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth fear before him.
