Habakkuk 2
1 Èmi yóò dúró lórí ibusọ́ mi láti máa wòye, èmi yóò sì gbé ara mi ka orí alóre, èmi yóò si ṣọ́ láti gbọ́ ohun tí yóò sọ fún mi àti èsì ti èmi yóò fún ẹ̀sùn yìí nígbà tó bá ń bá mi wí.
I will stand firm during my watch, and fix my position over the fortification. And I will observe carefully, to see what might be said to me and what I might respond to my opponent.
2 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa dáhùn pé, “Kọ ìṣípayá náà sílẹ̀ kí o sì fi hàn ketekete lórí wàláà kí ẹni tí ń kà á, lè máa sáré.
And the Lord responded to me and said: Write the vision and explain it on tablets, so that he who reads it may run through it.
3 Nítorí ìṣípayá náà jẹ́ tí ìgbà kan tí a múra sílẹ̀ dè; yóò máa yára sí ìgbẹ̀yìn kí yóò sìsọ èké. Bí o tilẹ̀ lọ́ra, dúró dè é; nítorí, dájúdájú, yóò dé, kí yóò sí pẹ́.”
For as yet the vision is far off, and it will appear in the end, and it will not lie. If it expresses any delay, wait for it. For it is arriving and it will arrive, and it will not be hindered.
4 “Kíyèsi, ọkàn rẹ tí ó gbéga, ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ kò dúró ṣinṣin nínú rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n olódodo yóò wa nípa ìgbàgbọ́ rẹ̀.
Behold, he who is unbelieving, his soul will not be right within himself; but he who is just shall live in his faith.
5 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni pẹ̀lú, nítorí tí ọtí wáìnì ni ẹ̀tàn, agbéraga ènìyàn òun, kò sì ní sinmi ẹni tí ó sọ ìwọra rẹ di gbígbòòrò bí isà òkú, ó sì dàbí ikú, a kò sì le tẹ́ ẹ lọ́rùn, ó kó gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè jọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ó sì gba gbogbo ènìyàn jọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀. (Sheol h7585)
And in the manner that wine deceives the heavy drinker, so will the arrogant man be deceived, and he will not be honored. He has enlarged his life like hellfire, and himself like death, and he is never fulfilled. And he will gather to himself all nations, and he will amass for himself all peoples. (Sheol h7585)
6 “Gbogbo àwọn wọ̀nyí kì yóò máa pa òwe sí i tí wọn yóò sì máa kọ orin òwe sí i wí pé, “‘Ègbé ni fún ẹni tí ń mu ohun tí kì í ṣe tirẹ̀ pọ̀ sí i! Tí ó sì sọ ara rẹ̀ di ọlọ́rọ̀ nípasẹ̀ ìlọ́nilọ́wọ́gbà! Eléyìí yóò ha ti pẹ́ tó?’
Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and an enigmatic utterance about him? And it will be said, “Woe to him who increases what is not his own.” How long, then, will he lay down dense clay against himself?
7 Ǹjẹ́ ẹni ti ó yọ ọ́ lẹ́nu, kí yóò ha dìde ní òjijì? Àti àwọn tí ó wàhálà rẹ kì yóò jí, kí wọn ó sì dẹ́rùbà ọ́? Nígbà náà ni ìwọ yóò wa dí ìkógun fún wọn.
Shall they not suddenly rise up, who would bite you, and be stirred up, who would tear you, so that you will be a prey for them?
8 Nítorí ìwọ ti kó Orílẹ̀-èdè púpọ̀, àwọn ènìyàn tókù yóò sì kó ọ nítorí ìwọ tí ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ ènìyàn sílẹ̀; nítorí ẹ̀jẹ̀, ìwọ tí pa ilẹ̀ àti ìlú ńlá run àti gbogbo ènìyàn to ń gbé inú rẹ̀.
Because you have despoiled many peoples, all those who are left of the people shall despoil you, because of the blood of men, and the iniquity of the earth, of the city and all who dwell therein.
9 “Ègbé ni fún ẹni tí ń jẹ èrè ìjẹkújẹ sí ilé rẹ̀, tí o sí gbé ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ lórí ibi gíga, kí a ba le gbà á sílẹ̀ kúrò lọ́wọ́ ibi!
Woe to him who gathers together an evil greed for his house, so that his nest may be exalted, and thinking that he might free himself from the hand of evil.
10 Ìwọ ti gbìmọ̀ ìtìjú sí ilé rẹ nípa kíké ènìyàn púpọ̀ kúrò; ìwọ sì ti pàdánù ẹ̀mí rẹ.
You have devised confusion for your house, you have cut to pieces many peoples, and your soul has sinned.
11 Nítorí tí òkúta yóò kígbe jáde láti inú ògiri wá, àti ìtí igi láti inú igi rírẹ́ wá yóò sì dá a lóhùn.
For the stone will cry out from the wall, and the wood that is between the joints of the building will respond.
12 “Ègbé ni fún ẹni tí ó fi ẹ̀jẹ̀ kọ́ ìlú, tí o sì fi àìṣedéédéé tẹ ìlú ńlá dó?
Woe to him who builds a town with blood and prepares a city by iniquity.
13 Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun kò ha ti ṣètò rẹ̀ pé làálàá àwọn ènìyàn jẹ́ epo fún iná kí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè náà sì máa ṣe wàhálà fún asán?
Are not these things before the Lord of hosts? For the people will labor amid a great fire, and the nations will labor in emptiness, and they will fail.
14 Nítorí tí ayé yóò kún fún ìmọ̀ ògo Olúwa, bí omi ti bo Òkun.
For the earth shall be filled, that they might know the glory of the Lord, like the waters spreading over the sea.
15 “Ègbé ni fún ẹni tí ó fi ohun mímu fún aládùúgbò rẹ̀, tí ó sì fi ọtí-lílé rẹ̀ fún un, tí o sì jẹ́ kó mu àmupara, kí ìwọ kí ó ba lè wo ìhòhò wọn.”
Woe to anyone who gives a drink to a friend, releasing a drug and inebriating, so as to look upon their nakedness.
16 Ìtìjú yóò bò ọ́ dípò ògo, ìwọ náà mu pẹ̀lú kí ìhòhò rẹ kí ó lè hàn, ago ọwọ́ ọ̀tún Olúwa, yóò yípadà sí ọ, ìtìjú yóò sì bo ògo rẹ.
You are filled with disgrace in place of glory. So then, drink and fall fast asleep, for the cup of the right hand of the Lord will surround you, and a disgraceful vomit will cover your glory.
17 Nítorí ìwà ipá tí ó tí hù sí Lebanoni yóò bò ọ́, àti ìparun àwọn ẹranko yóò dẹ́rùbà ọ́ mọ́lẹ̀. Nítorí ìwọ tí ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ ènìyàn sílẹ̀; ìwọ tí pa ilẹ̀ náà àti ìlú ńlá run àti gbogbo àwọn tí ń gbé inú rẹ̀.
For the iniquity of Lebanon will cover you, and the devastation of animals which will deter them from the blood of men, and the iniquity of the earth and the city, and of all who dwell therein.
18 “Èrè kí ni òrìṣà ni, tí oníṣọ̀nà rẹ̀ fi gbẹ́ ẹ, ère dídá ti ń kọ ni èké? Nítorí ti ẹni ti ó dá a gbẹ́kẹ̀ rẹ̀ lé ohun tí ó fúnra rẹ̀ dá; ó sì mọ ère tí kò le fọhùn.
Of what benefit is the graven image? For its maker has formed it, a molten and imaginary deception. For its maker has hoped in a figment of his own creation, so as to make a dumb likeness.
19 Ègbé ni fún ẹni ti ń sọ fún igi pé, ‘Di alààyè?’ Fún òkúta tí kò lè fọhùn pé, ‘Dìde.’ Ǹjẹ́ òun lè tọ́ ni sí ọ̀nà? Wúrà àti fàdákà ni a fi bò ó yíká; kò sì sí èémí kan nínú rẹ.”
Woe to him who says to wood, “Awaken,” to the silent stone, “Arise.” Is it able to teach? Behold, it has been entirely covered with gold and silver; and there is no spirit at all in its inner workings.
20 Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa wà nínú tẹmpili mímọ́ rẹ̀; ẹ jẹ́ kí gbogbo ayé parọ́rọ́ níwájú rẹ.
But the Lord is in his holy temple. May all the earth be silent before his face.
