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 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 Gospod mi je odgovoril in rekel: »Zapiši videnje in ga naredi razločnega na ploščah, da bo lahko tekel, kdor ga bo bral.
And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision, and [that] plainly on a tablet, that he that reads it may run.
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 [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 Glej, njegova duša, ki je povzdignjena, ni iskrena v njem, toda pravični bo živel po svoji veri.
If he should draw back, my soul has no pleasure in him: but the just shall live by my 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)
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 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!
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 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?
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 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 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 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 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 Svetoval si sramoto svoji hiši, s tem, da si uničil mnoga ljudstva in si grešil zoper svojo dušo.
You have devised shame to your house, you have utterly destroyed many nations, and your soul has sinned.
11 Kajti kamen bo vpil iz zidu in bruno iz lesa mu bo odgovarjalo.
For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beetle out of the timber shall speak.
12 Gorje tistemu, ki gradi mesto s krvjo in mesto utrjuje s krivičnostjo!
Woe to him that builds a city with blood, and establishes a city by unrighteousness.
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?
Are not these things of the Lord Almighty? surely many people have been exhausted in the fire, and many nations have fainted.
14 Kajti zemlja bo napolnjena s spoznanjem Gospodove slave, kakor vode pokrivajo morje.
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord; it shall cover them as water.
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 that gives his neighbour to drink the thick lees [of wine], and intoxicates [him], that he may look upon their secret parts.
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.
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 fear before him.
