< 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 on my watch, and set me on the tower, and will watch to see what he will say to 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 make it plain on tables, that he may run that reads it.
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 an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
4 हेर्, गलत इच्छा गर्नेचाहिँ घमण्डले फुलेको छ । तर धर्मीचाहिँ आफ्नो विश्वासले जिउनेछ ।
Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his 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 )
Yes also, because he transgresses by wine, he is a proud man, neither keeps at home, who enlarges his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathers to him all nations, and heaps to him all people: (Sheol )
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 taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increases that which is not his! how long? and to him that lades himself with thick clay!
7 के तँलाई टोक्नेहरू अचानक उठ्नेछैनन्, अनि तँलाई त्रासमा राख्नेहरू जाग्नेछैनन्? तँ तिनीहरूका निम्ति शिकार बन्नेछस् ।
Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite you, and awake that shall vex you, and you shall be for booties 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 remnant of the people shall spoil you; because of men’s blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
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 evil!
10 तैँले धेरै मानिसहरूलाई सर्वनाश गरेर आफ्नो घरानाको निम्ति शर्म ल्याएको छस्, र आफ्नै विरुद्ध पाप गरेको छस् ।
You have consulted shame to your house by cutting off many people, and have sinned against your soul.
11 किनभने भित्ताबाट ढुङ्गाहरूले पुकार्नेछन्, र काठका दलिनहरूले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनेछन्,
For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
12 ‘धिक्कार त्यसलाई जसले रगतले शहर बनाउँछ, र जसले अधर्ममा नगर स्थापना गर्दछ ।’
Woe to him that builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!
13 के सेनाहरूका परमप्रभुले यो भन्नुभएको छैन र, जातिहरू आगोको निम्ति परिश्रम गर्दछन् र अरू सबै जातिहरू व्यर्थमा थकित हुन्छन्?
Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labor in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?
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, as the waters cover the sea.
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 neighbor drink, that put your bottle to him, and make him drunken also, that you may look on their nakedness!
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 ।
You are filled with shame for glory: drink you also, and let your foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD’s right hand shall be turned to you, and shameful spewing shall be on 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 violence of Lebanon shall cover you, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men’s blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
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 profits the graven image that the maker thereof has graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusts therein, 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; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the middle of 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 keep silence before him.
