Habakuk 2
1 Stal bom na svoji straži in se postavil na stolp in stražil bom, da vidim kaj mi bo rekel in kaj bom odgovoril, ko bom pograjan.
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 Gospod mi je odgovoril in rekel: »Zapiši videnje in ga naredi razločnega na ploščah, da bo lahko tekel, kdor ga bo bral.
And Jehovah answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run that readeth it.
3 Kajti še je videnje za določeni čas, toda ob koncu bo govorilo in ne bo lagalo. Čeprav odlaša, čakaj nanj, kajti zagotovo bo prišlo, ne bo odlašalo.
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 Glej, njegova duša, ki je povzdignjena, ni iskrena v njem, toda pravični bo živel po svoji veri.
Behold, his soul is puffed up, it is not upright in him; but the righteous shall live by his faith.
5 Da, prav tako, ker greši z vinom, je ponosen človek niti se ne drži doma, ki svojo željo povečuje kakor pekel in je kakor smrt in ne more biti nasičen, temveč k sebi zbira vse narode in k sebi kopiči vsa ljudstva. (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 Mar ne bodo vsi ti vzdignili prispodobe zoper njega in zbadljiv pregovor zoper njega in rekli: »Gorje tistemu, ki povečuje to, kar ni njegovo!« Doklej? In tistemu, ki se oblaga z zastavljenimi dobrinami!
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 Mar se ne bodo nenadoma dvignili tisti, ki te bodo grizli in se prebudili tisti, ki te bodo mučili, ti pa jim boš v plen?
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 Ker si oplenil mnoge narode, bo ves preostanek ljudstva oplenil tebe zaradi človeške krvi in zaradi nasilja deželi, mestu in vsem, ki prebivajo v njem.
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 Gorje tistemu, ki hlepi s hudobno pohlepnostjo za svojo hišo, da bi lahko postavil svoje gnezdo na visoko, da bi bil lahko osvobojen pred močjo zla!
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 Svetoval si sramoto svoji hiši, s tem, da si uničil mnoga ljudstva in si grešil zoper svojo dušo.
Thou hast devised shame to thy house, by cutting off many peoples, and hast sinned against thy soul.
11 Kajti kamen bo vpil iz zidu in bruno iz lesa mu bo odgovarjalo.
For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
12 Gorje tistemu, ki gradi mesto s krvjo in mesto utrjuje s krivičnostjo!
Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and establisheth a city by iniquity!
13 Glej, mar ni to od Gospoda nad bojevniki, da se bo ljudstvo trudilo v samem ognju in se bo ljudstvo izmučilo za samo ničnost?
Behold, is it not of Jehovah of hosts that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
14 Kajti zemlja bo napolnjena s spoznanjem Gospodove slave, kakor vode pokrivajo morje.
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea.
15 Gorje mu, ki daje svojemu bližnjemu piti, ki svoje mehove polaga k njemu in ga dela tudi pijanega, da bi lahko gledal na njihovo nagoto!
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 Napolnjen si s sramoto namesto s slavo. Pij tudi ti in naj bo tvoja prednja kožica odkrita. Čaša Gospodove desnice bo obrnjena k tebi in sramotno pljuvanje bo na tvoji slavi.
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 Kajti nasilje Libanona te bo pokrilo in plen živali, ki si jih prestrašil zaradi človeške krvi in zaradi nasilja dežele, mesta in vseh, ki prebivajo v njem.
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 Kaj koristi rezana podoba, ki jo je njen izdelovalec izrezal; ulita podoba in učiteljica laži, da izdelovalec svojega dela zaupa vanjo, da izdeluje neme malike?
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 Gorje tistemu, ki govori lesu: »Zbudi se.« Nememu kamnu: »Vstani, ta bo učil!« Glej, ta je prevlečen z zlatom in srebrom in tam, v njegovi sredi, sploh ni nobenega diha.
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 Toda Gospod je v svojem svetem templju. Naj vsa zemlja ohrani molk pred njim.
But Jehovah is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
