哈巴谷書 2
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
耶和華回答哈巴谷
2 我要站在我的瞭望臺，
立在城樓[a]上觀看，
看耶和華要對我說甚麼，
我可用甚麼話向他訴冤。
2 耶和華回答我，說：
將這默示清楚地寫在看板上，
使人容易朗讀[b]。
3 因為這默示有一定的日期，
論及終局，絕不落空。
它雖然躭延，你要等候；
因為它必臨到，不再遲延。
4 看哪，惡人自高自大，心不正直；
惟義人必因他的信得生[c]。
不義的結局
5 他因酒詭詐、
狂傲、不安於位；
他張開喉嚨[d]，好像陰間，
如死亡不能知足，
他聚集萬國，
招聚萬民全歸自己。
6 這些人豈不都要提起詩歌和俗語，嘲諷他說：
禍哉！你增添不屬自己的財物，
靠押金發財，要到幾時呢？
7 咬傷你的[e]豈不忽然興起，
擾害你的豈不突然崛起，
你就成為他們的擄物嗎？
8 因你搶奪許多國家，
流人的血，向土地、城鎮和全城的居民施行殘暴，
各國殘存之民都必搶奪你。
9 禍哉！那為本家積蓄不義之財、
在高處搭窩、指望得免災禍的人！
10 你圖謀剪除許多民族，犯了罪，
使自己的家蒙羞，自害己命。
11 牆裏的石頭要呼叫，
屋內的棟梁必應聲。
12 禍哉！那以鮮血建城、
以罪孽造鎮的人！
13 看哪，這不都是[f]出於萬軍之耶和華嗎？
萬民勞碌得來的被火焚燒，
萬族辛苦建造的，歸於虛空。
14 全地都必認識耶和華的榮耀，
好像水充滿海洋一般。
15 禍哉！那給鄰舍酒喝，加上毒物[g]，
使人喝醉，為要看見他們下體的人！
16 你滿受羞辱，不得榮耀；
你也喝吧，顯明你是未受割禮的[h]！
耶和華右手的杯必傳到你那裏，
你的榮耀就變為羞辱。
17 黎巴嫩所受的殘暴必淹沒你，
野獸所遭遇的毀滅使你驚嚇[i]；
因你流人的血，
向土地、城鎮和全城的居民施行殘暴。
18 偶像有甚麼益處呢？
製造者雕刻它，
鑄成偶像，作虛假的教師；
製造者倚靠的是自己所做的啞巴偶像。
19 禍哉！那對木頭說「醒起」，
對啞巴石頭說「起來」的人！
偶像豈能教導人呢？
看哪，它以金銀包裹，其中並無氣息。
20 惟耶和華在他的聖殿中，
全地都當在他面前肅靜。
Habakkuk 2
King James Version
2 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
2 And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
5 Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:
6 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 to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!
7 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
8 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
9 Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
10 Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.
11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
12 Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!
13 Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?
14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.
15 Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
16 Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the Lord's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.
17 For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
18 What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
19 Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
20 But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
Habakkuk 2
New King James Version
The Just Shall Live by Faith
2 I will (A)stand my watch
And set myself on the rampart,
And watch to see what He will say to me,
And what I will answer when I am corrected.
The Just Live by Faith
2 Then the Lord answered me and said:
(B)“Write the vision
And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.
3 For (C)the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will (D)not lie.
Though it tarries, (E)wait for it;
Because it will (F)surely come,
It will not tarry.
4 “Behold the proud,
His soul is not upright in him;
But the (G)just shall live by his faith.
Woe to the Wicked
5 “Indeed, because he transgresses by wine,
He is a proud man,
And he does not stay at home.
Because he (H)enlarges his desire as [a]hell,
And he is like death, and cannot be satisfied,
He gathers to himself all nations
And heaps up for himself all peoples.
6 “Will not all these (I)take up a proverb against him,
And a taunting riddle against him, and say,
‘Woe to him who increases
What is not his—how long?
And to him who loads himself with [b]many pledges’?
7 Will not [c]your creditors rise up suddenly?
Will they not awaken who oppress you?
And you will become their booty.
8 (J)Because you have plundered many nations,
All the remnant of the people shall plunder you,
Because of men’s [d]blood
And the violence of the land and the city,
And of all who dwell in it.
9 “Woe to him who covets evil gain for his house,
That he may (K)set his nest on high,
That he may be delivered from the [e]power of disaster!
10 You give shameful counsel to your house,
Cutting off many peoples,
And sin against your soul.
11 For the stone will cry out from the wall,
And the beam from the timbers will answer it.
12 “Woe to him who builds a town with bloodshed,
Who establishes a city by iniquity!
13 Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts
That the peoples labor [f]to feed the fire,
And nations weary themselves in vain?
14 For the earth will be filled
With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord,
As the waters cover the sea.
15 “Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbor,
[g]Pressing him to your (L)bottle,
Even to make him drunk,
That you may look on [h]his nakedness!
16 You are filled with shame instead of glory.
You also—drink!
And [i]be exposed as uncircumcised!
The cup of the Lord’s right hand will be turned against you,
And utter shame will be on your glory.
17 For the violence done to Lebanon will cover you,
And the plunder of beasts which made them afraid,
Because of men’s blood
And the violence of the land and the city,
And of all who dwell in it.
18 “What profit is the image, that its maker should carve it,
The molded image, a teacher of lies,
That the maker of its mold should trust in it,
To make mute idols?
19 Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Awake!’
To silent stone, ‘Arise! It shall teach!’
Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,
Yet in it there is no breath at all.
20 “But(M) the Lord is in His holy temple.
Let all the earth keep silence before Him.”
