哈巴谷書 2
1 我要站在守望所， 立在望樓上觀看， 看耶和華對我說甚麼話， 我可用甚麼話向他訴冤。
I will stand upon my watch, and set myself upon the tower, and will look forth to see what he will speak with me, and what I shall answer concerning my complaint.
2 他對我說：將這默示明明地寫在版上， 使讀的人容易讀。
And Jehovah answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run who reads it.
3 因為這默示有一定的日期， 快要應驗，並不虛謊。 雖然遲延，還要等候； 因為必然臨到，不再遲延。
For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hastens toward the end, and shall not lie. Though it tarry, wait for it, because it will surely come. It will not delay.
4 迦勒底人自高自大，心不正直； 惟義人因信得生。
Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright in him. (But the righteous man shall live by his faith.
Yea, moreover, wine is treacherous.) He is a haughty man, who does not keep at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol, and he is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathers to him all nations, and heaps to him all peoples. (Sheol h7585)
6 這些國的民豈不都要提起詩歌並俗語譏刺他說： 禍哉！迦勒底人，你增添不屬自己的財物， 多多取人的當頭，要到幾時為止呢？
Shall not all these take up a derision against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him who increases that which is not his (how long?) and who loads himself with pledges!
7 咬傷你的豈不忽然起來， 擾害你的豈不興起， 你就作他們的擄物嗎？
Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee. And thou shall be for booty to them?
8 因你搶奪許多的國，殺人流血， 向國內的城並城中一切居民施行強暴， 所以各國剩下的民都必搶奪你。
Because thou have 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 who dwell therein.
9 為本家積蓄不義之財、 在高處搭窩、指望免災的有禍了！
Woe to him who gets 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 你圖謀剪除多國的民，犯了罪， 使你的家蒙羞，自害己命。
Thou have devised shame to thy house, by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against thy soul.
11 牆裏的石頭必呼叫； 房內的棟樑必應聲。
For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
12 以人血建城、 以罪孽立邑的有禍了！
Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!
13 眾民所勞碌得來的被火焚燒， 列國由勞乏而得的歸於虛空， 不都是出於萬軍之耶和華嗎？
Behold, is it not of Jehovah of hosts that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
14 認識耶和華榮耀的知識要充滿遍地， 好像水充滿洋海一般。
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Jehovah, as the waters cover the sea.
15 給人酒喝、又加上毒物、 使他喝醉、好看見他下體的有禍了！
Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink, who adds thy venom, and also makes him drunken, that thou may look on their nakedness!
16 你滿受羞辱，不得榮耀； 你也喝吧，顯出是未受割禮的！ 耶和華右手的杯必傳到你那裏； 你的榮耀就變為大大地羞辱。
Thou are filled with shame, and not glory. Drink thou also, and be as one uncircumcised. The cup of Jehovah's right hand shall come around to thee, and foul shame shall be upon thy glory.
17 你向黎巴嫩行強暴與殘害 驚嚇野獸的事必遮蓋你； 因你殺人流血， 向國內的城並城中一切居民施行強暴。
For the violence done to Lebanon shall cover thee and the plunder 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 who dwell therein.
18 雕刻的偶像，人將它刻出來， 有甚麼益處呢？ 鑄造的偶像就是虛謊的師傅。 製造者倚靠這啞巴偶像有甚麼益處呢？
What profits the graven image, that the maker of it has engraved it, the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make dumb idols?
19 對木偶說：醒起！ 對啞巴石像說：起來！那人有禍了！ 這個還能教訓人嗎？ 看哪，是包裹金銀的，其中毫無氣息。
Woe to him who says 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 惟耶和華在他的聖殿中； 全地的人都當在他面前肅敬靜默。
But Jehovah is in his holy temple. Let all the earth keep silence before him.
