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 mount upon the rock, and watch to see what he will say by me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
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 the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision, and [that] plainly on a tablet, that he that reads it may run.
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 a time, and it shall shoot forth at the end, and not in vain: though he should wait, wait for him; for he will surely come, and will not wait.
4 Aia hoi, o ka mea hookiekie, aole pono kona naau iloko ona; Aka, o ka mea pono, e hoolaia oia ma kona manaoio.
If he should draw back, my soul has no pleasure in him: but the just shall live by my 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)
But the arrogant man and the scorner, the boastful man, shall not finish anything; who has enlarged his desire as the grave, and like death he is never satisfied, and he will gather to himself all the nations, and will receive to himself all the 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 proverb to tell against him? and they shall say, Woe to him that multiplies to himself the possessions which are not his! how long? and who heavily loads his yoke.
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.
For suddenly there shall arise up those that bite him, and they that plot against you shall awake, and you shall be a plunder to 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 you have spoiled many nations, all the nations that are left shall spoil [you], because of the blood of men, and the sins of the land and city, and of all that dwell in it.
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 covets an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evils.
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.
You have devised shame to your house, you have utterly destroyed many nations, and your soul has sinned.
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 beetle out of the timber shall speak.
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 builds a city with blood, and establishes a city by unrighteousness.
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?
Are not these things of the Lord Almighty? surely many people have been exhausted in the fire, and many nations have fainted.
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 the Lord; it shall cover them as water.
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 to him that gives his neighbor to drink the thick lees [of wine], and intoxicates [him], that he may look upon their secret parts.
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.
Drink you also [your] fill of disgrace instead of glory: shake, O heart, and quake, the cup of the right hand of the Lord has come round upon you, and dishonor has gathered upon your 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 ungodliness of Libanus shall cover you, and distress because of wild beasts shall dismay you, because of the blood of men, and the sins of the land and city, and of all that dwell in it.
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 profit it the graven image, that they have graven it? [one] has made it a molten work, a false image; for the maker has trusted in his work, 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 to him that says to the wood, Awake, arise; and to the stone, Be you exalted! whereas it is an image, and this is a casting of gold and silver, and there is no breath in it.
20 Aia no o Iehova iloko o kona luakini hoano; E hamau imua ona, e ka honua a pau.
But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth fear before him.
