Habakkuk 2
1 ମୁଁ ଜଣେ ରକ୍ଷୀ ପରି ଛିଡା ହବେି। ମୁଁ ନଗର ପ୍ରାଚୀର ରେ ଜଗିବି। ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାେତେ କ'ଣ କହିବେ, ମୁଁ ତାହା ଦେଖିବାକୁ ଅପେକ୍ଷା କରିବି। ସେ ମାରେ ପ୍ରଶ୍ନର ଉତ୍ତର କିପରି କରୁଛନ୍ତି, ମୁଁ ତାହା ଶିକ୍ଷା କରିବାକୁ ଅପେକ୍ଷା କରିବି।
2 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାେତେ ଉତ୍ତର ଦେଲେ, ଆମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଯେଉଁ ଦର୍ଶନ ଦଖାେଉଛୁ ତାହା ଗୋଟିଏ ଫଳକ ଉପ ରେ ସ୍ପଷ୍ଟ ଭାବରେ ଲେଖ ଯେପରିକି ସବୁଲୋକ ସହଜ ରେ ପଢି ପାରିବେ।
3 ଏହି ଦର୍ଶନ ନିର୍ଦ୍ଦିଷ୍ଟ ସାକ୍ଷୀ ଅଟେ। ଏହା ଶଷେ ବାର୍ତ୍ତା ସମ୍ବନ୍ଧ ରେ ସାକ୍ଷୀ ଦିଏ ଏବଂ ଏହା ମିଥ୍ଯା ହୁଏ ନାହିଁ। ଯେପରି ଜଣାୟିବ ଏହି ସମୟ କବେେ ଆସିବ ନାହିଁ। କିନ୍ତୁ ର୍ଧୈୟ୍ଯ ଧରି ଅପେକ୍ଷା କର, ସେ ସମୟ ନିଶ୍ଚଯ ଆସିବ। ଏହା ଅଧିକ ବିଳମ୍ବ ହବେନାହିଁ।
4 ଅହଂକାରୀ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତିର ଆତ୍ମା ସଚ୍ଚୋଟ ନୁହେଁ। ସପରେି ଅହଂକାରୀ ଲୋକ ଫୁତ୍କାର ରେ ଉଡିୟାଏ। କିନ୍ତୁ ଧାର୍ମିକଲୋକମାନେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ବିଶ୍ବାସ ବଳ ରେ ହିଁ ବଞ୍ଚିବେ।
5 ପରମେଶ୍ବର କହିଲେ, ଧନ ଗୋଟିଏ ବଳବାନ୍ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତିକୁ ପ୍ରତାରଣା କରିପାରିବ। ସେ କବେେ ସଫଳ ହାଇପୋରିବ ନାହିଁ। କବର ପରି ସେ ସର୍ବଦା ଅଧିକରୁ ଅଧିକ ପାଇବାକୁ ଇଚ୍ଛା କରିବ। କିନ୍ତୁ ମୃତ୍ଯୁ ପରି ସେ କବେେ ସନ୍ତୁଷ୍ଟ ହବେନାହିଁ। ସେ ଅନ୍ୟସବୁ ଦେଶକୁ ପରାସ୍ତ କରି ଗ୍ଭଲିବ। ସେ ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ବନ୍ଦୀ କରି ଗ୍ଭଲିବ।
6 କିନ୍ତୁ ଖୁବ୍ ଶୀଘ୍ର ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ତାକୁ ଉପହାସ କରିବେ। ସମାନେେ ତା'ର ପରାଜଯ ବିଷଯ ରେ ଗପ କରିବେ। ସମାନେେ ତାକୁ ପରିହାସ କରି କହିବେ, 'ତାକୁ ଧିକ୍, ୟିଏ ଅନ୍ୟ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କର ଧନସମ୍ପତ୍ତିକୁ ନଇୟୋଏ। ଆଉ କେତଦେିନ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ସେ ଋଣ ସଂଗ୍ରହ ଦ୍ବାରା ଧନୀ ହବେ? ସର୍ବଶଷେ ରେ ତା'ର ସମ୍ପଦସବୁ ତା' ଉପ ରେ ବୋଝ ହବେ।'
7 ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଋଣକର୍ତ୍ତାମାନେ ହଠାତ୍ ତୁମ୍ଭ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧ ରେ ଛିଡା ହବେେ। ତା'ପ ରେ ସମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭଠାରୁ ଚୋରି କରିବେ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଅତି ଭୟଭୀତ ହାଇେ ପଡିବ।
8 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ବହୁ ଦେଶରୁ ଧନ ଅପହରଣ କରିଛ। ତେଣୁ ସହେି ଲୋକମାନେ ତୁମ୍ଭଠାରୁ ଅଧିକ ନଇେଯିବେ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ବହୁ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ହତ୍ଯା କରିଛ। ବହୁଦେଶ ଓ ନଗର ଧ୍ବଂସ କରିଛ। ସବୁ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ସଠାେ ରେ ହତ୍ଯା କରିଛ।
9 ତାକୁ ଧିକ୍, ୟିଏ ଦୋଷ କରି ଧନୀ ହାଇେଛ। ସେ ଗୋଟିଏ ନିରାପଦ ସ୍ଥାନ ରେ ବାସ କରିବାକୁ ଏହିସବୁ କରେ। ସେ ଭାବେ ଯେ, ସେ କୌଣସି ଅନିଷ୍ଟରୁ ନିଜକୁ ରକ୍ଷା କରିପାରିବ।
10 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ବହୁତ ଲୋକଙ୍କୁ ଧ୍ବଂସ କରିଅଛ। କିନ୍ତୁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ନିଜ ଘରକୁ ଲଜ୍ଜା ଆଣିଥିଲ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ନିଜ ଜୀବନ ବିପକ୍ଷ ରେ ପାପ କରିଅଛ।
11 ତୁମ୍ଭ କାନ୍ଥ ରେ ଲାଗିଥିବା ପଥର ତୁମ୍ଭ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧ ରେ କଥା କହିବ। ଏପରିକି ତୁମ୍ଭ ଛାତ ରେ ଲାଗିଥିବା କାଠର ବର୍ଗାଗୁଡିକ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଭୂଲ୍ ବୋଲି ରାଜି ହବେ।
12 ଧିକ୍ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ, ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ମାରି ନଗର ନିର୍ମାଣ କରିଛ ଏବଂ ଦୁଷ୍ଟତା ରେ ସହର ପ୍ରତିଷ୍ଠା କରିଛ।
13 ସର୍ବଶକ୍ତିମାନ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ସ୍ଥିର କରିଛନ୍ତି ଯେ ଅଗ୍ନି ସବୁ ଜିନିଷକୁ ପୋଡି଼ଦବେ ଯାହାସବୁ ଲୋକମାନେ ନିର୍ମାଣ କରିଥିଲେ। ସମାନଙ୍କେର ସହେି ସବୁ କାର୍ୟ୍ଯ ନିଷ୍ଫଳ ହବେ।
14 ତା'ପ ରେ ଲୋକମାନେ ସବୁଆଡେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ମହିମା ଜାଣିବେ। ସମୁଦ୍ର ରେ ଜଳ ବ୍ଯାପିଲା ପରି ଏହି ଖବର ଗ୍ଭରିଆଡେ ବ୍ଯାପିୟିବ।
15 ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଧିକ୍, ଯେଉଁମାନେ ପଡୋଳୀମାନଙ୍କୁ ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ପିଆଉଛ, ତାଙ୍କୁ ମାତାଲ କରିବା ପାଇଁ ସହେି ଦ୍ରାକ୍ଷାରସ ରେ କିଛି ବିଷାକ୍ତ ଉପାଦନ ମିଶାଉଛ, ଯାହା ପାଇଁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତାଙ୍କର ଉଲଗ୍ନତା ଦେଖିପାରିବ।
16 କିନ୍ତୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଦକ୍ଷିଣ ହସ୍ତସ୍ଥିତ ପାତ୍ର ତୁମ୍ଭ ଆଡକୁ ଆସିବ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସମ୍ମାନ ବଦଳ ରେ ଅପମାନ ରେ ପରିପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ହବେ।
17 ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଲିବାନୋନ୍ ରେ କରିଥିବା ରକ୍ତପାତ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଆଚ୍ଛାନ୍ନ କରିବ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ସଠାରୁେ ବହୁ ପଶୁ ଗ୍ଭରେି କଲ। ତେଣୁ ସହେି ମୃତବ୍ଯକ୍ତିଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଏବଂ ସହେି ଦେଶ ରେ କରିଥିବା ରକ୍ତପାତ ପାଇଁ ଏବଂ ସଠାେ ରେ ବାସ କରୁଥିବା ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ପାଇଁ ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଭୟଭୀତ ହବେ।
18 ଖାଦେିତ ପ୍ରତିମା ରେ କି ଲାଭ ଯେ, ଏହା ଜଣେ ଲୋକ ନିର୍ମାଣ କଲା ଏବଂ ଏହାକୁ ଖାଦେନ କଲା। ଧାତୁର ମୂର୍ତ୍ତି ରେ କଣ ଲାଭ ଅଛି? ଏହା ମିଥ୍ଯା ଶିକ୍ଷା ଦିଏ। ତେଣୁ ନିର୍ମାଣକାରୀ କାହିଁକି ଏଥି ରେ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରିବ? ଏପରିକି ସେ ମୂର୍ତ୍ତି କଥା କହିପାରିବ ନାହିଁ।
19 ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଧିକ୍, ଯେଉଁ ଲୋକ କାଠକୁ କୁ ହେ, ଜାଗ୍ରତ ହୁଅ! ମୂକ ପ୍ରସ୍ଥରକୁ କୁ ହେ ଉଠ! ଏହି ଭଣ୍ତ ଦବେତାମାନେ ନିର୍ଦ୍ଦେଶ ଦଇେ ପାରିବେ କି? ସହେି ମୂର୍ତ୍ତି ସୁନା ଓ ରୂପା ରେ ଆବୃତ ହାଇେ ପାରିବ, କିନ୍ତୁ ସେ ନିର୍ଜୀବ।
20 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ତାଙ୍କର ପବିତ୍ର ମନ୍ଦିର ରେ ଅଛନ୍ତି। ତେଣୁ ସମଗ୍ର ପୃଥିବୀ ନୀରବ ହବେ ଓ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମାନ ଜଣାଇବ।
1 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.
