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.
Habakuk 2
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
2 Sinabi ni Habakuk, “Aakyat ako sa tore, sa aking bantayan at hihintayin ko kung ano ang sasabihin sa akin ng Panginoon at kung ano ang kanyang sagot sa aking hinaing.”
Ang Sagot ng Dios kay Habakuk
2 Ito ang sagot ng Panginoon kay Habakuk: “Isulat nang malinaw sa sulatang bato ang pahayag na ito para madaling basahin. 3 Isulat mo muna ito dahil hindi pa dumarating ang takdang panahon para mangyari ito. Ngunit hindi magtatagal at tiyak na mangyayari ito. Kahit magtagal nang kaunti, hintayin mo lang, dahil tiyak na mangyayari ito sa takdang panahon.”
4 Ito ang isulat mo:
“Tingnan mo ang mga taong mapagmataas. Hindi matuwid ang kanilang pamumuhay. Pero ang taong matuwid ay mabubuhay dahil sa kanyang pananampalataya.[a] 5 Ang totoo, hindi maaasahan ang kayamanan.[b] At ang mga taong mapagmataas na sakim sa kayamanan ay laging balisa at walang kasiyahan. Tulad nilaʼy kamatayan na hindi makukuntento. Kaya binibihag nila ang maraming bansa. 6 Pero kukutyain sila ng mga bansang iyon sa pamamagitan ng mga salitang ito,
“ ‘Nakakaawa naman kayo, kayong nangunguha ng mga bagay na hindi sa inyo at nagpapayaman sa pamamagitan ng pandaraya. Hanggang kailan pa ninyo ito gagawin? 7 Bigla nga kayong gagantihan ng mga bansang binihag ninyo,[c] at dahil sa kanila ay manginginig kayo sa takot, at sila naman ang sasamsam ng inyong mga ari-arian. 8 Dahil maraming bansa ang sinamsaman ninyo ng mga ari-arian, kayo naman ang sasamsaman ng mga natitirang tao sa mga bansang iyon. Mangyayari ito sa inyo dahil sa inyong pagpatay ng mga tao at pamiminsala sa kanilang mga lupain at mga bayan.
9 “ ‘Nakakaawa kayo, kayong nagpapatayo ng mga bahay[d] sa pamamagitan ng perang nakuha ninyo sa masamang paraan. Pinatitibay ninyo ang inyong mga bahay upang makaligtas kayo kapag dumating ang kapahamakan. 10 Dahil sa pagpatay ninyo ng maraming tao, kayo rin ay papatayin at wawasakin ang inyong mga bahay.[e] 11 Ang mga bato ng pader at ang mga biga ng bahay ay parang tao na hihingi ng tulong dahil mawawasak na ang buong bahay.
12 “ ‘Nakakaawa kayo, kayong nagpapatayo ng lungsod sa pamamagitan ng kalupitan. Handa kayong pumatay maitayo lamang ito. 13 Pero ang mga ipinatayo ninyo sa mga tao na binihag ninyo ay susunugin lang, kaya mawawalan ng kabuluhan ang inyong pinagpaguran. Itinakda na iyan ng Panginoong Makapangyarihan. 14 Sapagkat kung paanong ang karagatan ay puno ng tubig, ang lahat ng tao sa mundo ay mapupuno rin ng kaalaman tungkol sa kadakilaan ng Panginoon.
15 “ ‘Nakakaawa kayo! Sa inyong poot ay ipinahiya ninyo ang inyong mga karatig bansa. Parang nilalasing ninyo sila upang makita ninyo silang huboʼt hubad. 16 Ngayon kayo naman ang ilalagay sa kahihiyan sa halip na parangalan, dahil parurusahan kayo ng Panginoon. Kayo naman ang paiinumin niya sa tasa ng kanyang galit, at kapag lasing na kayo, makikita ang inyong kahubaran[f] at malalagay kayo sa kahihiyan. 17 Pinutol ninyo ang mga puno sa Lebanon, at dahil dito, namatay ang mga hayop doon. Kaya ngayon, kayo naman ang pipinsalain at manginginig sa takot. Mangyayari ito sa inyo dahil sa pagpatay ninyo ng mga tao at pagpinsala sa kanilang mga lupain at mga bayan.
18 “ ‘Ano ang kabuluhan ng mga dios-diosan? Gawa lang naman ang mga ito ng tao mula sa kahoy o metal, at hindi makapagsasabi ng katotohanan. At bakit nagtitiwala sa mga dios-diosang ito ang mga taong gumawa sa kanila? Ni hindi nga makapagsalita ang mga ito? 19 Nakakaawa kayong nagsasabi sa rebultong kahoy o bato, “Gumising ka at tulungan kami.” Ni hindi nga iyan makapagtuturo sa inyo. At kahit pa balot iyan ng ginto at pilak, wala namang buhay. 20 Pero ang Panginoon ay nasa kanyang banal na templo. Kaya ang buong mundo ay manahimik sa kanyang presensya.’ ”

Habakkuk 2
Revised Geneva Translation
2 I will stand upon my watch and set myself upon the tower, and will look and see what He would say to me, and what I shall answer to Him Who rebukes me.
2 And the LORD answered me, and said, “Write the vision, and make it plain upon tablets, so that he who reads it may run.
3 “For the vision is yet for an appointed time. But in the end, it shall speak and not lie. Though it tarries, wait. For it shall surely come and shall not delay.
4 “Behold, he who lifts himself up, his mind is not upright in him. But the just shall live by his faith.
5 “Yea, indeed the proud man is as he who transgresses by wine. Therefore, he shall not endure because he has enlarged his desire as Hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathers all nations to himself, and heaps all people for himself.
6 “Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, ‘Woe to him who increases that which is not his—How long? —and to him who loads himself with heavy debt!
7 “Shall not those who bite you rise up suddenly, and those who stir you awaken, and make you their prey?
8 “Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the people shall plunder you, because of men’s blood, and for the wrong done in the land, in the city, and to all who dwell therein.
9 “Woe to him who covets an evil gain for his House, so that he may set his nest on high to escape from the power of evil!
10 “You have consulted shame to your own House by destroying many people and have sinned against your own soul.
11 “For the stone shall cry out of the wall. And out of the timber shall the beam answer it.
12 “Woe to him who builds a town with blood and erects a city by iniquity.
13 “Behold, is it not of the LORD of Hosts that the people shall labor in the very fire? The people shall weary themselves for frivolity.
14 “For the Earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the Glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
15 “Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink and mixes it with your own skin to make him drunk, so that you may see their nakedness.
16 “You are filled with shame for glory. You drink also and are uncovered! The cup of the LORD’s right Hand shall be turned to you, and shameful spewing, for your glory.
17 “For the cruelty of Lebanon shall cover you, as shall the plunder of the beasts which made them afraid because of men’s blood, and for the wrong done in the land, in the city, and to all who dwell in them.
18 “What profit is the image? For the maker has made it an image, and a teacher of lies. Though, he who made it trusts in it when he makes dumb idols.
19 “Woe to him who says to the wood, ‘Awake,’ and to the dumb stone, ‘Rise up! It shall teach you! Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver. And there is no breath in it.
20 “But the LORD is in His Holy Temple. Let all the Earth keep silence before Him.”
