Habakkuk 2

1 I will stand at my guard post and station myself on the ramparts. I will watch to see what He will say to me, and how I should answer when corrected.

1 我要登上瞭望台， 站在望楼上守候， 看耶和华要对我说什么， 我要怎样向祂分诉。

2 Then the LORD answered me: “Write down this vision and clearly inscribe it on tablets, so that a herald may run with it.

2 耶和华对我说： “将我的启示记下来， 清楚地刻在板上， 便于人们阅读。

3 For the vision awaits an appointed time; it testifies of the end and does not lie. Though it lingers, wait for it, since it will surely come and will not delay.

3 这启示还未到实现之时， 它关乎结局，没有虚假。 即使缓慢，也要等候， 因为这事终必发生，不再迟延。

4 Look at the proud one; his soul is not upright—but the righteous will live by faith—

4 看那骄傲之人，他们心术不正， 但义人必靠信心 而活。

5 and wealth indeed betrays him. He is an arrogant man never at rest. He enlarges his appetite like Sheol, and like Death, he is never satisfied. He gathers all the nations to himself and collects all the peoples as his own.

5 财富 会欺骗骄傲之人， 使他们永不安分， 像阴间一样贪得无厌， 如死亡一般永不满足。 因此，他们征服万国， 掳掠万民。

6 Will not all of these take up a taunt against him, speaking with mockery and derision: ‘Woe to him who amasses what is not his and makes himself rich with many loans! How long will this go on?’

6 “但万国万民必用诗歌和俗语嘲讽他们，说， ‘你们有祸了！ 你们吞没别人的财产， 靠剥削别人囤积财富， 要到何时呢？’

7 Will not your creditors suddenly arise and those who disturb you awaken? Then you will become their prey.

7 你们的债主必突然行动， 使你们战战兢兢， 沦为他们的俘虏。

8 Because you have plundered many nations, the remnant of the people will plunder you—because of your bloodshed against man and your violence against the land, the city, and all their dwellers.

8 你们从前掳掠许多国家， 杀人流血， 摧毁他们的土地、城市和人民， 所以各国的余民必掠夺你们。

9 Woe to him who builds his house by unjust gain, to place his nest on high and escape the hand of disaster!

9 “为自己的家积蓄不义之财、 在高处搭窝躲避灾祸的人啊， 你们有祸了！

10 You have plotted shame for your house by cutting off many peoples and forfeiting your life.

10 你们阴谋毁灭各族， 以致自辱己家，自害己命。

11 For the stones will cry out from the wall, and the rafters will echo it from the woodwork.

11 墙上的石头必高声控诉， 房子的梁木必同声响应。

12 Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by iniquity!

12 “以人血建城邑， 以罪恶造城池的人啊， 你们有祸了！

13 Is it not indeed from the LORD of Hosts that the labor of the people only feeds the fire, and the nations weary themselves in vain?

13 列邦的劳碌都化为灰烬， 列国的辛劳尽是虚空。 这不都是出于万军之耶和华吗？

14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.

14 因为大地必充满对耶和华之荣耀的认识， 如同海洋被水充满。

15 Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbors, pouring it from the wineskin until they are drunk, in order to gaze at their nakedness!

15 “让邻居喝酒直到灌醉他们，好观看他们祼体的人啊， 你们有祸了！

16 You will be filled with shame instead of glory. You too must drink and expose your uncircumcision! The cup in the LORD’s right hand will come around to you, and utter disgrace will cover your glory.

16 你们必饱受羞辱，毫无荣耀。 你们喝吧，露出下体吧！ 耶和华右手中的杯将传给你们， 你们的荣耀将变成羞辱。

17 For your violence against Lebanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of animals will terrify you, because of your bloodshed against men and your violence against the land, the city, and all their dwellers.

17 你们以暴虐对待黎巴嫩， 自己必被暴虐吞噬； 你们毁灭野兽， 自己必被恐怖笼罩。 因为你们杀人流血， 摧毁土地、城市和人民。

18 What use is an idol, that a craftsman should carve it—or an image, a teacher of lies? For its maker trusts in his own creation; he makes idols that cannot speak.

18 “雕刻的偶像有什么益处？ 骗人的铸像有什么用处？ 制造者竟信靠自己造的哑巴偶像！

19 Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Awake!’ or to silent stone, ‘Arise!’ Can it give guidance? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, yet there is no breath in it at all.”

19 对木头说‘醒醒吧’， 对哑巴石头说‘起来吧’的人啊，你们有祸了！ 它们能教导你们吗？ 看啊，它们外面包金裹银， 里面却毫无生命。

20 But the LORD is in His holy temple; let all the earth be silent before Him.

20 但耶和华住在祂的圣殿中， 世人都要在祂面前肃静。”
