Habakkuk 2
Asang Khongca Bible (Eastern Khumi Chin, 2019)
Berean Standard Bible
1Toephaih imsang ah kang doet moe, imsang nuiah ka oh han; anih mah tih lok maw na thui tih, tito ka zing moe, kai kasae ang thuih naah timaw ka pathim han, tiah ka khet han.
1I 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.
2To naah Angraeng mah lok ang pathim, kai khaeah, Na hnuk ih hmuen to tarik ah, kami mah cawnh hoi kroek thaih hanah thlung kangphaek nuiah kamtueng ah tarik ah, tiah ang naa.
2Then the LORD answered me: “Write down this vision and clearly inscribe it on tablets, so that a herald may run with it.
3Hnuksak ih hmuen loe atue boenghaih kawng, atue khaehhaih kawng ah oh: amsawnlok na ai ni: angzo phrat ai cadoeh, zing ah; angzo tangtang tih, akra mak ai boeh.
3For 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.
4Khenah, amoek kami loe poekhaih toeng ai, toe katoeng kami loe a tanghaih hoiah hing tih:
4Look at the proud one; his soul is not upright — but the righteous will live by faith —
5ue, misurtui nae kami loe zaehaih to sak, anih loe im ah a tawnh ih hmuen hoiah zok amhah thai ai: anih koehhaih loe hell baktiah kawk moe, duekhaih baktiah palung khuek tih thai ai, angmah khaeah acaeng kaminawk to pakhueng boih moe, kaminawk to angmah hanah a suek boih.
5and 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.
6Hae kaminawk loe anih koeh ai ih patahhaih hoi pahnui thuihaih lok to patoh o tih; nihcae mah, Amsoem ai kaminawk ih hmuenmae lomhaih hoi angraeng kami loe khosak bing! Anih loe nasetto maw hae tiah laiba hoi caeh thai tih? tiah thui o mak ai maw?
6Will 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?’
7Nihcae loe poek ai pui hoiah nangcae kaek hanah angthawk o mak ai maw? Angthawk o ueloe, palung na phui o sak mak ai maw? Nangcae loe nihcae mah lomh ih hmuen ah na om o tih.
7Will not your creditors suddenly arise and those who disturb you awaken? Then you will become their prey.
8Nangcae mah kaminawk athii na long o sak moe, prae hoi vangpui thung ih hmuennawk to na paro pae o; pop parai prae kaminawk to na lomh pongah, kahing kanghmat to ih kaminawk mah nang to na lomh o toeng tih.
8Because 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.
9Karai hmuen tonghaih hoiah loih thai hanah, amsoem ai loklam hoi hnuk ih hmuen hoiah hmuensang ah angmah ih im sah kami loe khosak bing!
9Woe to him who builds his house by unjust gain, to place his nest on high and escape the hand of disaster!
10Paroeai kaminawk hoi kam hoe ah na oh, na imthung takoh na zatsak moe, na hinghaih zaehaih sahsak kami ah na oh.
10You have plotted shame for your house by cutting off many peoples and forfeiting your life.
11Sipae ah na patoh ih thlungnawk to hang o ueloe, thing thung ih thingphaek mah lok to pathim tih.
11For the stones will cry out from the wall, and the rafters will echo it from the woodwork.
12Athii palonghaih hoiah vangpui to sak moe, zaehaih hoiah vangpui angdoesak kami loe khosak bing!
12Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed and establishes a town by iniquity!
13Khenah, kaminawk mah tha pathok moe, sak o ih hmuen to azom pui ah oh hanah, misatuh kaminawk ih Angraeng mah hmai hoiah lokcaek boeh na ai maw?
13Is 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?
14Tuipui loe tuinawk hoiah koi baktih toengah, long loe lensawk Angraeng panoekhaih hoiah koi tih.
14For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.
15Angmah ih imtaeng kami naeksak hanah mu paek kami, anih to mu paquisak moe, nihcae bangkrai ah ohhaih khet hanah, anih han mu pailang paek kami loe khosak bing!
15Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbors, pouring it from the wineskin until they are drunk, in order to gaze at their nakedness!
16Nang loe pakoehhaih pongah azathaih hoiah ni na koi tih: nang doeh mu paquisak ueloe, tangzat to amtuengsak tih! Angraeng bantang bang ih boengloeng loe nang khaeah angqoi ueloe, azathaih loe na lensawkhaih ah om tih.
16You 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.
17Nang mah kami ih athii to na palong, minawk prae hoi vangpui thung ih hmuennawk to na lomh pae; Lebanon mae nuiah na sak ih athii palonghaih hoiah moinawk to na dueksak baktih toengah, na nuiah pha tih boeh.
17For 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.
18Krang sah kami mah sakcop ih krang bokhaih loe timaw atho oh! Sakcop ih krang loe amsawnlok patukkung ah ni oh, tipongah krang sah kami mah lok apae thai ai krang to sak moe, a ban hoi sak ih krang to a tang loe?
18What 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.
19Thing khaeah, anglawt ah! Lok apae thai ai thlung khaeah, angthawk ah! tiah thui kami loe khosak bing! Khenah, a nuiah sui hoi sum kanglung tui to pazut o, toe a thungah anghahhaih takhi roe om ai. To baktih hmuen mah, kami patuk thai tih maw?
19Woe 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.”
20Toe Angraeng loe angmah ih kaciim tempul thungah oh; anih hmaa ah longnawk boih anghngai o duem nasoe.
20But the LORD is in His holy temple; let all the earth be silent before Him.
