Habakuka 2
1 MALUNA o ko'u wahi kiai ke ku nei au, A maluna o kahi paa ke hoonoho ia'u iho, A e nana ae au e ike ai i ka mea ana e olelo mai ai no'u, A i ka mea a'u o pane aku ai no kuu hoakaka ana.
I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will look forth to see what he will speak with me, and what I shall answer concerning my complaint.
2 Olelo mai o Iehova ia'u, i mai la, E kakau oe i ka mea i ikeia, A e kakau hoi ia ma na papa pohaku, I hiki ka mea heluhelu e hoholo.
And Jehovah answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run that readeth it.
3 No ka mea, o ka mea i ikea no ka manawa maopopo ia; A ke lalelale nei i ka hope, aole ia e hoopunipuni; Ina e hookauluaia oia, e kali oe ia ia. No ka mea, e hiki io mai no ia, aohe ia e hookaulua.
For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hasteth toward the end, and shall not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay.
4 Aia hoi, o ka mea hookiekie, aole pono kona naau iloko ona; Aka, o ka mea pono, e hoolaia oia ma kona manaoio.
Behold, his soul is puffed up, it is not upright in him; but the righteous shall live by his faith.
5 A he oiaio, o ka waina, ua hoopunipuni ia; O ke kanaka haaheo, aole ia i noho malie, Ua hoakea oia i kona makemake, e like me ka luakupapau, A ua like oia me ka make, aole ia e ana: Hoakoakoa oia nona iho i na lahuikanaka a pau, A ua houluulu nona iho i na kanaka a pau. (Sheol h7585)
Yea, moreover, wine is treacherous, a haughty man, that keepeth not at home; who enlargeth his desire as Sheol, and he is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all peoples. (Sheol h7585)
6 Aole anei e hapai o keia poe a pau i mele nona, A i wahi olelo hoino nona, a e i aku, Auwe ka mea e hoomahuahua i ka waiwai, aohe nona! Pehea ka loihi! o ka mea e hoonui ana maluna ona i ka aie!
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 that ladeth himself with pledges!
7 Aole anei e ku koke mai ka poe e nahu mai ia oe, A e ala mai ka poe e hookaumaha ia oe? A e lilo oe i pio no lakou.
Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booty unto them?
8 No ka mea, ua hoopio oe i na lahuikanaka he nui, O ke koena a pau o na kanaka e hoopio lakou ia oe, No ke koko o kanaka, a no ka hana ino i ka aina, I ke kulanakauhale, a me ka poe a pau e noho ana iloko ona.
Because thou hast 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 that dwell therein.
9 Auwe ka mea kuko i ka waiwai pono ole no kona hale, I hookiekie ai oia i kona punana iluna, I hoopakele ai ia ia iho mai ka mana o ka hewa mai!
Woe to him that getteth an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil!
10 Ua kuka oe i ka mea hilahila no kou hale, Ma ka hooki ana i na kanaka he nui, Ua hana hewa aku hoi oe i kou uhane.
Thou hast devised shame to thy house, by cutting off many peoples, and hast sinned against thy soul.
11 No ka mea, e kahea mai ka pohaku mai ka paia mai, A o ke kaola laau e pane mai no ia.
For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
12 Auwe ka mea kukulu i ke kulanakauhale me ke koko, O ka mea hookumu i ke kulanakauhale me ka hewa!
Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and establisheth a city by iniquity!
13 Aia hoi, na Iehova o na kaua anei keia, e hooluhi na kanaka iloko o ke ahi, A e hookaumaha ia lakou iho no ka mea ole?
Behold, is it not of Jehovah of hosts that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
14 No ka mea, e hoopihaia ka honua i ka ike i ka nani o Iehova, E like me na wai i hoopiha ai i na moana.
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea.
15 Auwe ka mea hoohainu i kona hoalauna, A e ninini i kou mea e wela ai ia ia, i ona oia, i nana aku ai oe i ko lakou olohelohe!
Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink, [to thee] that addest thy venom, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
16 E hoopihaia oe i ka hilahila no ka nani, E inu hoi oe, a e hoike i kuu okipoepoe ole: O ke kiaha o ka lima akau o Iehova e hiki mai no ia ia oe, A o ka luai hilahila e uhi mai i kou nani.
Thou art filled with shame, and not glory: drink thou also, and be as one uncircumcised; the cup of Jehovah’s right hand shall come round unto thee, and foul shame shall be upon thy glory.
17 No ka mea, o ka hana ino ia Lebanona e uhi mai ia oe, Me ka luku o na holoholona, i hooweliweli ia lakou, No ke koko o kanaka, a no ka hana ino i ka aina, I ke kulanakauhale, a me ka poe a pau e noho ana iloko ona.
For the violence done to Lebanon shall cover thee, and the destruction 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 that dwell therein.
18 Heaha ka pono o ke kii, i ka manawa i kalaiia oia e ka mea nana ia i hana? A o ke kii hooheheeia, a me ka mea ao i ka wahahee? A o ka mea nana i hana i kona kii, ua hilinai ia maluna ona, ma ka hana ana i akua lapuwale?
What profiteth the graven image, that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he that fashioneth its form trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
19 Auwe ka mea olelo i ka laau, E ala mai! A i ka pohaku leo ole, E ku iluna! Oia ke ao mai! Aia hoi, ua uhiia oia i ke gula a me ke kala, Aka, aohe hanu iki iloko ona.
Woe unto him that saith 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.
20 Aia no o Iehova iloko o kona luakini hoano; E hamau imua ona, e ka honua a pau.
But Jehovah is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
