Habakkuk 2
1 I will stand upon my watch, and station myself upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say to me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
Na straži svojoj stadoh, i stajah na kuli, i motrah da vidim šta æe mi reæi i šta bih odgovorio onome koji me koraše.
2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run that readeth it.
I odgovori mi Gospod i reèe: piši utvaru, i da bude razgovijetno na ploèama da se lako èita.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it may tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Jer æe još biti utvara do odreðenoga vremena, i govoriæe šta æe biti do pošljetka i neæe slagati; ako oklijeva, èekaj je, jer æe zacijelo doæi, i neæe odocniti.
4 Behold, his soul who is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
Gle, ko se ponosi, njegova duša nije prava u njemu; a pravednik æe od vjere svoje živ biti.
5 Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth to him all nations, and heapeth to him all people: (Sheol h7585)
A kako vino vara, taki je èovjek ohol, niti ostaje u stanu; jer raširuje duh svoj kao grob, i kao smrt je, koja se ne može nasititi i zbira k sebi sve narode i skuplja k sebi sva plemena. (Sheol h7585)
6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!
Neæe li ga svi oni uzeti u prièu i u zagonetke, i reæi: teško onom koji umnožava što nije njegovo! dokle æe? i koji trpa na se gusto blato.
7 Shall they not rise suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall oppress thee, and thou shalt be for booty to them?
Neæe li najedanput ustati oni koji æe te gristi? i neæe li se probuditi oni koji æe te rastrzati, i kojima æeš biti grabež?
8 Because thou hast laid waste many nations, all the remnant of the people shall lay thee waste; because of men’s blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell in it.
Što si ti oplijenio mnoge narode, tebe æe oplijeniti sav ostatak od naroda, za krv ljudsku i za nasilje uèinjeno zemlji, gradu i svjema koji žive u njemu.
9 Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
Teško onome koji se lakomi na gadan dobitak kuæi svojoj, da postavi gnijezdo svoje na visokom mjestu i saèuva se oda zla.
10 Thou gavest shameful counsel to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.
Smislio si sramotu kuæi svojoj da zatreš mnoge narode, i ogriješio si se o svoju dušu.
11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
Jer æe kamen iz zida vikati, i èvor iz drveta svjedoèiæe.
12 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and establisheth a city by iniquity!
Teško onome koji gradi grad krvlju i osniva grad nepravdom!
13 Behold, is it not from the LORD of hosts that the people shall labour only for fire, and the people shall weary themselves for nothing?
Gle, nije li od Gospoda nad vojskama da ljudi rade za oganj i narodi se trude ni za što?
14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
Jer æe se zemlja napuniti poznanja slave Gospodnje kao što je more puno vode.
15 Woe to him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunk also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
Teško onome koji poji bližnjega svojega, dodaje mijeh svoj da bi ga opojio i gledao mu golotinju.
16 Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy shame come upon thee: the cup of the LORD’S right hand shall be turned to thee, and utter shame shall be on thy glory.
Nasitiæeš se sramote mjesto slave, pij i ti, i otkrij golotinju svoju; doæi æe k tebi èaša u desnici Gospodnjoj, i bljuvotina æe sramna biti na slavi tvojoj.
17 For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men’s blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell in it.
Jer nasilje uèinjeno Livanu pokriæe te i pustoš meðu zvijerjem koja ga je plašila, za krv ljudsku i nasilje uèinjeno zemlji, gradu i svjema koji žive u njemu.
18 What profiteth the graven image that its maker hath engraved it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth in it, to make dumb idols?
Šta pomaže rezan lik što ga izreza umjetnik njegov? šta liven lik i uèitelj laži, te se umjetnik uzda u djelo svoje gradeæi nijeme idole?
19 Woe to him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all within it.
Teško onome koji govori drvetu: preni se! i nijemu kamenu: probudi se! Hoæe li on uèiti? Eto, obložen je zlatom i srebrom, a nema duha u njemu.
20 But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
A Gospod je u svetoj crkvi svojoj; muèi pred njim, sva zemljo!
