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 at my watch, and set myself on the ramparts, and will look out to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer concerning my complaint.
2 परमप्रभुले मलाई जवाफ दिनुभयो, “यस दर्शनलाई पाटीहरूमा प्रष्टसँग लेख्, ताकि यो पढ्नेचाहिँ दौडोस् ।
Jehovah answered me, "Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he who runs may read 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 the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won't prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come, and it won't delay.
4 हेर्, गलत इच्छा गर्नेचाहिँ घमण्डले फुलेको छ । तर धर्मीचाहिँ आफ्नो विश्वासले जिउनेछ ।
Look, if he holds back, my soul has no pleasure in him, but the righteous will live by 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)
And moreover, wealth is treacherous; a proud man will not endure. He enlarges his desire as Sheol, and he is like death, and can't be satisfied. He gathers all nations to himself, and collects to himself all 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?’
Won't all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, 'Woe to him who increases that which is not his, and who enriches himself by extortion. How long?'
7 के तँलाई टोक्नेहरू अचानक उठ्नेछैनन्, अनि तँलाई त्रासमा राख्नेहरू जाग्नेछैनन्? तँ तिनीहरूका निम्ति शिकार बन्नेछस् ।
Won't your debtors rise up suddenly, and wake up those who make you tremble, and you will be their victim?
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 plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples will plunder you, because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who 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 who gets an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil.
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, by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against your soul.
11 किनभने भित्ताबाट ढुङ्गाहरूले पुकार्नेछन्, र काठका दलिनहरूले तिनीहरूलाई जवाफ दिनेछन्,
For the stone will cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the woodwork will answer it.
12 ‘धिक्कार त्यसलाई जसले रगतले शहर बनाउँछ, र जसले अधर्ममा नगर स्थापना गर्दछ ।’
Woe to him who 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?
Look, isn't it of Jehovah of hosts that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
14 तथापि समुद्रलाई पानीले ढाकेझैँ सारा भुमि परमप्रभुको महिमाको ज्ञानले भरिनेछ ।
For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah, 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 who gives his neighbor drink, pouring your inflaming wine until they are drunk, so that you may gaze at their naked bodies.
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, and not glory. You will also drink, and be exposed. The cup of Jehovah's right hand will come around to you, and disgrace will cover 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 done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of the animals, which made them afraid; because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, to every city and to those who dwell in them.
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 value does the engraved image have, that its maker has engraved it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute 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 who says to the wood, 'Awake.' or to the mute stone, 'Arise.' Shall this teach? Look, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in its midst.
20 तर परमप्रभु उहाँको पवित्र मन्दिरमा हुनुहुन्छ । ए सारा भुमि उहाँको अगि शान्त होओ ।”
But Jehovah is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him."
