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 fix my foot upon the tower: and I will watch, to see what will be said to me, and what I may answer to him that reproveth me.
2 Gospod mi je odgovoril in rekel: »Zapiši videnje in ga naredi razločnega na ploščah, da bo lahko tekel, kdor ga bo bral.
And the Lord answered me, and said: Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables: that he that readeth it may run over 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 as yet the vision is far off, and it shall appear at the end, and shall not lie: if it make any delay, wait for it: for it shall surely come, and it shall not be slack.
4 Glej, njegova duša, ki je povzdignjena, ni iskrena v njem, toda pravični bo živel po svoji veri.
Behold, he that is unbelieving, his soul shall not be right in himself: but the just shall live in 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)
And as wine deceiveth him that drinketh it: so shall the proud man be, and he shall not be honoured: who hath enlarged his desire like hell: and is himself like death, and he is never satisfied: but will gather together unto him all nations, and heap together unto him all people. (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 dark speech concerning him: and it shall be said: Woe to him that heapeth together that which is not his own? how long also doth he load himself with thick clay?
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 they be stirred up that shall tear thee, and thou shalt be a spoil to 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 spoiled many nations, all that shall be left of the people shall spoil thee: because of men’s blood, and for the iniquity of the land, of the city, and of 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 gathereth together an evil covetousness to his house, that his nest may be on high, and thinketh he may be delivered out of 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 confusion to thy house, thou hast cut off many people, and thy soul hath sinned.
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 timber that is between the joints of the building, shall answer.
12 Gorje tistemu, ki gradi mesto s krvjo in mesto utrjuje s krivičnostjo!
Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and prepareth 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?
Are not these things from the Lord of hosts? for the people shall labour in a great fire: and the nations in vain, and they shall faint.
14 Kajti zemlja bo napolnjena s spoznanjem Gospodove slave, kakor vode pokrivajo morje.
For the earth shall be filled, that men may know the glory of the Lord, as waters covering 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 to him that giveth drink to his friend, and presenteth his gall, and maketh him drunk, that he may behold his 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 instead of glory: drink thou also, and fall fast asleep: the cup of the right hand of the Lord shall compass thee, and shameful vomiting shall be on 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 iniquity of Libanus shall cover thee, and the ravaging of beasts shall terrify them because of the blood of men, and the iniquity of the land, and of the city, and of 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 doth the graven thing avail, because the maker thereof hath graven it, a molten, and a false image? because the forger thereof hath trusted in a thing of his own forging, 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 to him that saith to wood: Awake: to the dumb stone: Arise: can it teach? Behold, it is laid over with gold, and silver, and there is no spirit in the bowels thereof.
20 Toda Gospod je v svojem svetem templju. Naj vsa zemlja ohrani molk pred njim.
But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
