Habakkuk 2
1 I will stand upon my watch, and set myself upon the tower, and will look forth to see what he will speak with me, and what I shall answer concerning my complaint.
Mwen moute sou fò a pou m' veye. Mwen kanpe sou tèt miray ranpa a, m'ap tann pou m' wè sa Seyè a pral di m', ki repons li pral ban mwen apre tout plenyen mwen plenyen ba li a.
2 And Jehovah answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run who reads it.
Men repons Seyè a ban mwen. Li di m' konsa: -Ekri sa mwen pral fè ou wè a. Grave l' byen grave sou wòch plat pou moun ka li l' fasil.
3 For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hastens toward the end, and shall not lie. Though it tarry, wait for it, because it will surely come. It will not delay.
Ekri l' paske se poko lè pou sa m' pral fè ou wè a rive. Men, li p'ap pran lontan ankò pou l' rive. Li gen pou l' rive vre. Si li pran reta pou l' rive, ou mèt tann. Paske, wè pa wè, li gen pou l' rive lè pou l' rive a.
4 Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright in him. (But the righteous man shall live by his faith.
Men mesaj la: Moun ki pa mache dwat devan Bondye p'ap chape. Men moun ki mache dwat yo va viv paske yo te kenbe konfyans fèm yo nan Bondye.
5 Yea, moreover, wine is treacherous.) He is a haughty man, who does not keep at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol, and he is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathers to him all nations, and heaps to him all peoples. (Sheol h7585)
Richès fè moun pèdi tèt yo pi mal pase bweson. Moun ki gen lògèy pa ka rete trankil. Tankou simityè, yo pa janm gen ase. Tankou kote mò yo ye a, yo pa janm gen kont yo. Yo mache pran tout nasyon yo pou yo. Yo mete tout pèp yo anba ponyèt yo. (Sheol h7585)
6 Shall not all these take up a derision against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him who increases that which is not his (how long?) and who loads himself with pledges!
Men, tout pèp sa yo pral pase yo nan betiz, yo pral rele chalbari dèyè yo, yo pral bay istwa sou yo. Yo pral di: Madichon pou moun k'ap plede pran sa ki pa pou yo! Kilè y'a sispann fè sa? Madichon pou moun k'ap bay ponya epi k'ap fè moun peye gwo enterè mete sou li!
7 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee. And thou shall be for booty to them?
Talè konsa, se nou ki pral nan pran ponya. Moun nou dwe yo pral leve dèyè nou. Yo pral piye tou sa nou genyen.
8 Because thou have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder thee, because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell therein.
Nou te piye anpil nasyon. Koulye a rès moun ki te chape yo pral piye tou sa nou genyen paske nou te touye anpil moun, nou te fè peyi yo, lavil yo ansanm ak moun ki te rete ladan yo pase anpil mati anba men nou.
9 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!
Madichon pou moun k'ap vòlò pou fè fanmi yo rich, k'ap bati kay sou mòn pou malè pa rive yo!
10 Thou have devised shame to thy house, by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against thy soul.
Se wont nou fè fanmi nou yo wont. Lè nou detwi anpil nasyon konsa, se pwòp tèt nou nou fè mal.
11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
Ata wòch ki nan miray yo ap denonse nou. Poto travès kay yo ap fè menm bagay la tou.
12 Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!
Madichon pou moun k'ap touye moun, k'ap fè lenjistis pou bati lavil yo!
13 Behold, is it not of Jehovah of hosts that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
Travay pèp yo ap fè a pral boule nan dife. Se pou gremesi nasyon yo ap fatige kò yo travay di. Se Seyè a menm k'ap fè sa rive konsa.
14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea.
Menm jan lanmè a plen dlo, se konsa toupatou sou latè moun pral konnen pouvwa Bondye a.
15 Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink, who adds thy venom, and also makes him drunken, that thou may look on their nakedness!
Madichon pou moun k'ap fè moun parèy yo bwè pou avili yo. Yo vide bweson ba yo jouk yo sou. Yo mete yo toutouni devan tout moun.
16 Thou are filled with shame, and not glory. Drink thou also, and be as one uncircumcised. The cup of Jehovah's right hand shall come around to thee, and foul shame shall be upon thy glory.
Moun p'ap fè lwanj pou yo. Okontrè, yo pral trennen yo nan labou. Se yo menm ki pral bwè pou yo sou jouk y'a mete yo toutouni devan tout moun tou. Seyè a nan kòlè li pral fè yo bwè gode chatiman li pare pou yo a. Yo t'ap chache lwanj? Se wont y'a wont pito.
17 For the violence done to Lebanon shall cover thee and the plunder of the beasts (which made them afraid), because of men's blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell therein.
Yo te koupe tout gwo rakbwa peyi Liban an. Koulye a, se yo yo pral koupe voye jete. Yo te touye tout bèt li yo. Koulye a, bèt li yo pral fè yo kouri al kache. Tou sa pral rive yo paske yo te touye anpil moun, yo te fè peyi yo, lavil yo ansanm ak moun ladan yo pase anpil mati anba men yo.
18 What profits the graven image, that the maker of it has engraved it, the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make dumb idols?
Kisa yon estati an bwa ka fè pou nou, pou nou fè moun travay fè li pou nou? Kisa yon estati fèt ak metal yo fonn ka fè pou nou? Se manti ase l'ap ban nou. Sa sa ap rapòte nou lè nou fè zidòl ki pa ka pale pou nou mete konfyans nou nan yo?
19 Woe to him who says to the wood, Awake, to the dumb stone, Arise! Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
Madichon pou moun k'ap pale ak yon bout bwa, epi k'ap di l': Leve non! Madichon pou moun k'ap pale ak yon moso wòch ki pa gen lapawòl, epi k'ap di l': Kanpe non! Eske bout bwa ak moso ròch ka di ou anyen? Ou kouvri yo avèk plak lò ak plak ajan, se vre. Men yo pa gen lavi.
20 But Jehovah is in his holy temple. Let all the earth keep silence before him.
Seyè a kanpe nan kay ki apa pou li a. Se pou tout moun sou latè pe bouch devan li.
