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 mount upon the rock, and watch to see what he will say by me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
2 他對我說：將這默示明明地寫在版上， 使讀的人容易讀。
And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision, and [that] plainly on a tablet, that he that reads it may run.
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 a time, and it shall shoot forth at the end, and not in vain: though he should tarry, wait for him; for he will surely come, and will not tarry.
4 迦勒底人自高自大，心不正直； 惟義人因信得生。
If he should draw back, my soul has no pleasure in him: but the just shall live by my faith.
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 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 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 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？
For suddenly there shall arise up those that bite him, and they that plot against thee shall awake, and thou shalt be a plunder 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 hast spoiled many nations, all the nations that are left shall spoil [thee], because of the blood of men, and the sins of the land and city, and of all that dwell in it.
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 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 你圖謀剪除多國的民，犯了罪， 使你的家蒙羞，自害己命。
Thou hast devised shame to thy house, thou hast utterly destroyed many nations, and thy soul has sinned.
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 beetle out of the timber shall speak.
12 以人血建城、 以罪孽立邑的有禍了！
Woe to him that builds a city with blood, and establishes a city by unrighteousness.
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？
Are not these things of the Lord Almighty? surely many people have been exhausted in the fire, and many nations have fainted.
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 the Lord; it shall cover them as water.
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 that gives his neighbour to drink the thick lees [of wine], and intoxicates [him], that he may look upon their secret parts.
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。
Drink thou also [thy] fill of disgrace instead of glory: shake, O heart, and quake, the cup of the right hand of the Lord has come round upon thee, and dishonour has gathered 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 ungodliness of Libanus shall cover thee, and distress because of wild beasts shall dismay thee, because of the blood of men, and the sins of the land and city, and of all that dwell in it.
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 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 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 that says to the wood, Awake, arise; and to the stone, Be thou exalted! whereas it is an image, and this is a casting of gold and silver, and there is no breath in 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 the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth fear before him.
