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 on my watch-tower, And set myself on the bulwark, And watch to see what he will say to me, And what I shall answer to my expostulation.
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 Jehovah answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, That he may run that readeth 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 the vision is yet for an appointed time, But it hasteneth to the end; it shall not deceive; If it tarry, wait for it; For it shall surely come; it shall not long delay.
4 “Kíyèsi, ọkàn rẹ tí ó gbéga, ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ kò dúró ṣinṣin nínú rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n olódodo yóò wa nípa ìgbàgbọ́ rẹ̀.
Behold, the soul of him that is puffed up shall not be at ease; But the just shall live by his faithfulness.
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)
Behold, the man of wine is outrageous; The proud man remaineth not at rest; He enlargeth his desire as the grave; He is as death, and cannot be satisfied; He gathereth to himself all the nations, And collecteth to himself all the kingdoms. (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 of them utter a song against him, Yea, songs of reproach and derision concerning him? And say, Woe to him that heapeth up that which belongeth not to him! For how long a time? That ladeth himself with goods taken in pledge!
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 not they suddenly rise up that will oppress thee, And awake, that will harass thee? Yea, thou shalt be their booty.
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 thou hast plundered many kingdoms, All the residue of the nations shall plunder thee: For the blood of men, and for violence against the land, Against the city and all its inhabitants.
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 that procureth unjust gain for his house, That he may set his nest on high, That he may be delivered from the evil hand!
10 Ìwọ ti gbìmọ̀ ìtìjú sí ilé rẹ nípa kíké ènìyàn púpọ̀ kúrò; ìwọ sì ti pàdánù ẹ̀mí rẹ.
Thou hast devised shame for thine house; By destroying many nations, thou hast brought ruin upon thyself.
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 from the wall crieth out, And the beam from the timber answereth it.
12 “Ègbé ni fún ẹni tí ó fi ẹ̀jẹ̀ kọ́ ìlú, tí o sì fi àìṣedéédéé tẹ ìlú ńlá dó?
Woe to him that buildeth a town by blood, And establisheth 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?
Behold, it is determined by Jehovah of hosts, That nations shall labor for the fire, And kingdoms weary themselves for naught.
14 Nítorí tí ayé yóò kún fún ìmọ̀ ògo Olúwa, bí omi ti bo Òkun.
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah, As the waters cover 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 him who giveth his neighbor drink; Who poureth out the strong wine, and maketh him drunken, That he may look upon his 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.
Thou shalt be filled with shame instead of glory; Drink thou also, and show thy foreskin! To thee shall come the cup in the right hand of Jehovah, And foul shame shall be upon thy 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 violence done to Lebanon shall cover thee, And the destruction of the beasts which made them afraid, On account of the blood of men, and violence against the land, Against the city and all its inhabitants.
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.
What profiteth the graven image, When the maker hath graven it? Or the molten image, and the teacher of lies, That the artificer trusteth in his work, When he maketh dumb idols?
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 saith to the wood, Awake! To the dumb stone, Arise! Will it teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, And there is no breath within it.
20 Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa wà nínú tẹmpili mímọ́ rẹ̀; ẹ jẹ́ kí gbogbo ayé parọ́rọ́ níwájú rẹ.
But Jehovah is in his Holy temple; Be silent before him, all the earth!
