Habakuk 2
1 Stal bom na svoji straži in se postavil na stolp in stražil bom, da vidim kaj mi bo rekel in kaj bom odgovoril, ko bom pograjan.
I will stand at my guard post and station myself on the ramparts. I will watch to see what He will say to me, and how I should answer when corrected.
2 Gospod mi je odgovoril in rekel: »Zapiši videnje in ga naredi razločnega na ploščah, da bo lahko tekel, kdor ga bo bral.
Then the LORD answered me: “Write down this vision and clearly inscribe it on tablets, so that a herald may run with it.
3 Kajti še je videnje za določeni čas, toda ob koncu bo govorilo in ne bo lagalo. Čeprav odlaša, čakaj nanj, kajti zagotovo bo prišlo, ne bo odlašalo.
For the vision awaits an appointed time; it testifies of the end and does not lie. Though it lingers, wait for it, since it will surely come and will not delay.
4 Glej, njegova duša, ki je povzdignjena, ni iskrena v njem, toda pravični bo živel po svoji veri.
Look at the proud one; his soul is not upright — but the righteous will live by faith —
5 Da, prav tako, ker greši z vinom, je ponosen človek niti se ne drži doma, ki svojo željo povečuje kakor pekel in je kakor smrt in ne more biti nasičen, temveč k sebi zbira vse narode in k sebi kopiči vsa ljudstva. (Sheol h7585)
and wealth indeed betrays him. He is an arrogant man never at rest. He enlarges his appetite like Sheol, and like Death, he is never satisfied. He gathers all the nations to himself and collects all the peoples as his own. (Sheol h7585)
6 Mar ne bodo vsi ti vzdignili prispodobe zoper njega in zbadljiv pregovor zoper njega in rekli: »Gorje tistemu, ki povečuje to, kar ni njegovo!« Doklej? In tistemu, ki se oblaga z zastavljenimi dobrinami!
Will not all of these take up a taunt against him, speaking with mockery and derision: ‘Woe to him who amasses what is not his and makes himself rich with many loans! How long will this go on?’
7 Mar se ne bodo nenadoma dvignili tisti, ki te bodo grizli in se prebudili tisti, ki te bodo mučili, ti pa jim boš v plen?
Will not your creditors suddenly arise and those who disturb you awaken? Then you will become their prey.
8 Ker si oplenil mnoge narode, bo ves preostanek ljudstva oplenil tebe zaradi človeške krvi in zaradi nasilja deželi, mestu in vsem, ki prebivajo v njem.
Because you have plundered many nations, the remnant of the people will plunder you— because of your bloodshed against man and your violence against the land, the city, and all their dwellers.
9 Gorje tistemu, ki hlepi s hudobno pohlepnostjo za svojo hišo, da bi lahko postavil svoje gnezdo na visoko, da bi bil lahko osvobojen pred močjo zla!
Woe to him who builds his house by unjust gain, to place his nest on high and escape the hand of disaster!
10 Svetoval si sramoto svoji hiši, s tem, da si uničil mnoga ljudstva in si grešil zoper svojo dušo.
You have plotted shame for your house by cutting off many peoples and forfeiting your life.
11 Kajti kamen bo vpil iz zidu in bruno iz lesa mu bo odgovarjalo.
For the stones will cry out from the wall, and the rafters will echo it from the woodwork.
12 Gorje tistemu, ki gradi mesto s krvjo in mesto utrjuje s krivičnostjo!
Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by iniquity!
13 Glej, mar ni to od Gospoda nad bojevniki, da se bo ljudstvo trudilo v samem ognju in se bo ljudstvo izmučilo za samo ničnost?
Is it not indeed from the LORD of Hosts that the labor of the people only feeds the fire, and the nations weary themselves in vain?
14 Kajti zemlja bo napolnjena s spoznanjem Gospodove slave, kakor vode pokrivajo morje.
For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.
15 Gorje mu, ki daje svojemu bližnjemu piti, ki svoje mehove polaga k njemu in ga dela tudi pijanega, da bi lahko gledal na njihovo nagoto!
Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbors, pouring it from the wineskin until they are drunk, in order to gaze at their nakedness!
16 Napolnjen si s sramoto namesto s slavo. Pij tudi ti in naj bo tvoja prednja kožica odkrita. Čaša Gospodove desnice bo obrnjena k tebi in sramotno pljuvanje bo na tvoji slavi.
You will be filled with shame instead of glory. You too must drink and expose your uncircumcision! The cup in the LORD’s right hand will come around to you, and utter disgrace will cover your glory.
17 Kajti nasilje Libanona te bo pokrilo in plen živali, ki si jih prestrašil zaradi človeške krvi in zaradi nasilja dežele, mesta in vseh, ki prebivajo v njem.
For your violence against Lebanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of animals will terrify you, because of your bloodshed against men and your violence against the land, the city, and all their dwellers.
18 Kaj koristi rezana podoba, ki jo je njen izdelovalec izrezal; ulita podoba in učiteljica laži, da izdelovalec svojega dela zaupa vanjo, da izdeluje neme malike?
What use is an idol, that a craftsman should carve it— or an image, a teacher of lies? For its maker trusts in his own creation; he makes idols that cannot speak.
19 Gorje tistemu, ki govori lesu: »Zbudi se.« Nememu kamnu: »Vstani, ta bo učil!« Glej, ta je prevlečen z zlatom in srebrom in tam, v njegovi sredi, sploh ni nobenega diha.
Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Awake!’ or to silent stone, ‘Arise!’ Can it give guidance? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, yet there is no breath in it at all.”
20 Toda Gospod je v svojem svetem templju. Naj vsa zemlja ohrani molk pred njim.
But the LORD is in His holy temple; let all the earth be silent before Him.
