Ang Tugon ni Yahweh
2 Aakyat ako sa bantayan at hihintayin
ang sasabihin ni Yahweh sa akin,
at ang tugon niya sa aking daing.
2 Ito ang tugon ni Yahweh:
“Isulat mo nang malinaw sa mga tapyas ng bato
ang pangitaing ipahahayag ko sa iyo,
upang sa isang sulyap ay mabasa agad at maipabatid ito.
3 Isulat(A) mo ito sapagkat hindi pa panahon upang ito ay maganap.
Ngunit mabilis na lilipas ang panahon,
at mangyayari ang ipinakita ko sa iyo.
Bagama't parang mabagal ito, hintayin mo.
Tiyak na mangyayari at hindi maaantala ito.
4 Ito(B) ang mensahe: “Ang hambog ay mabibigo sa kanyang pagmamataas,
ngunit ang matuwid ay mabubuhay sa pamamagitan ng kanyang pananampalataya.”
Ang Kapahamakan ng mga Makasalanan
5 Ang kayamanan[a] ay mandaraya.
Ang ganid sa salapi ay hindi makukuntento.
Ang kanyang katakawan ay kasinlawak ng libingan,
tulad ng kamatayan na walang kasiyahan.
Kaya sinasakop niya ang mga bansa,
upang maging kanya ang mga mamamayan.
6 Darating ang araw na hahamakin ng mga nasakop ang mga sumakop sa kanila.
Sasabihin nila, “Kinuha ninyo ang hindi sa inyo, kaya't kayo'y mapapahamak!
Hanggang kailan pa kayo magpapayaman, habang pinipilit na magbayad ang mga may utang sa inyo?”
7 Biglang darating ang panahon na kayo naman ang mangungutang,
at pipiliting magbayad ng interes.
Darating ang inyong kaaway at sisindakin kayo.
Pagnanakawan nila kayo!
8 Sinalanta ninyo ang maraming bansa,
iyan din ang gagawin sa inyo ng mga nakaligtas.
Uusigin kayo dahil sa dugong inyong pinadanak,
dahil sa inyong karahasan sa mga tao,
sa daigdig at sa mga lunsod nito.
9 Mapapahamak kayong mga nagpayaman ng inyong pamilya sa pamamagitan ng inyong mga ninakaw.
Ngayo'y nagsisikap kayong ilayo sa kapahamakan at panganib ang inyong sambahayan.
10 Ang inyong mga pagbabalak ang nagbigay ng kahihiyan sa inyong sambahayan.
Winasak ninyo ang maraming bansa,
kaya kayo naman ngayon ang wawasakin.
11 Sisigaw laban sa inyo ang mga bato ng pader,
at aalingawngaw sa buong kabahayan.
12 Mapapahamak kayo! Nagtatag kayo ng lunsod sa pamamagitan ng kasamaan;
itinayo ninyo ang bayan sa pamamagitan ng pagpatay.
13 Ang(C) mga sinakop ninyong bansa ay nagpakahirap sa walang kabuluhan,
at lahat ng itinayo nila ay natupok sa apoy.
Si Yahweh na Makapangyarihan sa lahat ang gumawa nito.
14 Subalit(D) ang buong mundo ay mapupuno
ng mga taong kumikilala at dumadakila kay Yahweh,
kung paanong ang karagatan ay napupuno ng tubig.
15 Mapapahamak kayo! Pinainom ninyo ang inyong mga kalapit bansa,
ng alak na tanda ng inyong pagkapoot.
Nilasing ninyo sila at hiniya,
nang inyong titigan ang kanilang kahubaran.
16 Malalagay rin kayo sa kahihiyan at hindi sa karangalan.
Iinom din kayo at malalasing.
Ipapainom sa inyo ni Yahweh ang inyong kaparusahan,
at ang inyong karangalan ay magiging kahihiyan.
17 Hinubaran ninyo ang kagubatan ng Lebanon;
ngayon, kayo naman ang huhubaran.
Pinatay ninyo ang mga hayop doon;
ngayo'y kayo naman ang sisindakin nila.
Uusigin kayo dahil sa dugong inyong pinadanak,
dahil sa inyong karahasan sa mga tao,
sa daigdig at sa mga lunsod nito.
18 Ano ang kabuluhan ng diyus-diyosan?
Tao lamang ang gumawa nito,
at pawang kasinungalingan ang sinasabi nito.
Ano ang ginagawa nitong mabuti upang pagkatiwalaan ng gumawa?
Ito ay isang diyos na hindi man lang makapagsalita.
19 Mapapahamak kayo! Ginigising ninyo ang isang pirasong kahoy!
Pinababangon ninyo ang isang bato!
May maipapahayag ba sa inyo ang isang diyus-diyosan?
Maaaring ito'y nababalot sa pilak at ginto,
ngunit wala naman itong buhay.
20 Si Yahweh ay nasa kanyang banal na templo,
tumahimik ang lahat sa harapan niya.
Manahimik ang buong sanlibutan sa kanyang presensya.

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.”
