Habacuc 2
Bible PGR
1Je veux me tenir dans mon donjon et me placer sur la tour et observer pour voir ce qu'il me dira et ce que je répliquerai en sus de mon grief.
2Et l'Éternel me répondit et dit : Écris la vision et la grave sur des tables, afin que couramment on la lise.
3Car la vision a trait à un temps à venir, mais elle aspire au but, et ne mentira pas ; si elle tarde, attends-la, car elle arrivera, elle n'y manquera pas.
4Voici, son âme s'est enflée, elle n'est pas droite en lui, mais le juste par sa foi vivra.
5Oui, le vin est insolent, l'homme qu'il enorgueillit n'a point de repos ; pareil à l'Enfer, il ouvre une large bouche, et il est comme la mort, et insatiable, et il s'empare de tous les peuples et accapare toutes les nations.
6Toutes ne diront-elles pas sur lui une chanson et des railleries et des sarcasmes, parlant ainsi : Malheur à qui accumulait ce qui n'était pas à lui ! jusques à quand ?… et à qui se chargeait d'emprunts à gages !
7Ne se lèveront-ils pas soudain, tes créanciers, et ne s'éveilleront-ils pas, tes oppresseurs ? Et tu seras leur proie.
8Parce que tu pillas des peuples nombreux, tous les autres peuples te pilleront, à cause du meurtre des hommes et de l'outrage fait au pays, aux villes et à tous leurs habitants.
9Malheur à qui fait un gain inique pour sa maison, afin de placer son nid sur la hauteur pour se dérober au bras du malheur !
10Tu décidas l'opprobre de ta maison, la destruction des peuples nombreux, et tu as péché contre toi-même.
11Car de la muraille la pierre crie, et de la charpente la poutre lui répond.
12Malheur à qui bâtit une ville avec le sang, et fonde une ville avec l'iniquité !
13Voici, n'est-ce pas de par l'Éternel des armées que les peuples se fatiguent pour un feu, et les nations se peinent pour le néant ?
14Car la terre se remplira de la connaissance de la gloire de l'Éternel, de même que les eaux recouvrent la mer.
15Malheur à qui fait boire son prochain ! à toi qui lui verses le feu de ton vin et l'enivres pour voir sa nudité !
16Tu seras rassasié d'opprobre au lieu de gloire ; bois aussi toi-même et découvre ton prépuce ! qu'elle arrive à toi la coupe de la droite de l'Éternel, et que l'ignominie couvre ta gloire !
17Car la violence faite au Liban retombera sur toi, ainsi que la ruine des bêtes qu'elle épouvanta, à cause du meurtre des hommes et de la violence faite au pays, à la ville et a tous ses habitants.
18A quoi sert l'idole, pour que le sculpteur la taille ? la statue et le docteur de mensonges, pour que le sculpteur se confie en sa sculpture en faisant des idoles muettes ?
19Malheur à qui dit au bois : « Éveille-toi ! » « Lève-toi ! » à la pierre muette, « qu'elle enseigne ! » Voici, elle est plaquée d'or et d'argent, et il n'y a point d'esprit au dedans d'elle.
20Mais l'Éternel est dans son temple saint ! Que toute la terre se taise devant lui !
Reina-Valera 1909
1SOBRE mi guarda estaré, y sobre la fortaleza afirmaré el pie, y atalayaré para ver qué hablará en mí, y qué tengo de responder á mi pregunta.
2Y Jehová me respondió, y dijo: Escribe la visión, y declárala en tablas, para que corra el que leyere en ella.
3Aunque la visión tardará aún por tiempo, mas al fin hablará, y no mentirá: aunque se tardare, espéralo, que sin duda vendrá; no tardará.
4He aquí se enorgullece aquel cuya alma no es derecha en él: mas el justo en su fe vivirá.
5Y también, por cuanto peca por el vino, es un hombre soberbio, y no permanecerá: que ensanchó como el infierno su alma, y es como la muerte, que no se hartará: antes reunió á sí todas las gentes, y amontonó á sí todos los pueblos.
6¿No han de levantar todos estos sobre él parábola, y sarcasmos contra él? Y dirán: ¡Ay del que multiplicó lo que no era suyo! ¿Y hasta cuándo había de amontonar sobre sí espeso lodo?
7¿No se levantarán de repente los que te han de morder, y se despertarán los que te han de quitar de tu lugar, y serás á ellos por rapiña?
8Porque tú has despojado muchas gentes, todos los otros pueblos te despojarán; á causa de las sangres humanas, y robos de la tierra, de las ciudades y de todos los que moraban en ellas.
9¡Ay del que codicia maligna codicia para su casa, por poner en alto su nido, por escaparse del poder del mal!
10Tomaste consejo vergonzoso para tu casa, asolaste muchos pueblos, y has pecado contra tu vida.
11Porque la piedra clamará desde el muro, y la tabla del enmaderado le responderá.
12¡Ay del que edifica la ciudad con sangres, y del que funda la villa con iniquidad!
13¿No es esto de Jehová de los ejércitos? Los pueblos pues trabajarán para el fuego, y las gentes se fatigarán en vano.
14Porque la tierra será llena de conocimiento de la gloria de Jehová, como las aguas cubren la mar.
15¡Ay del que da de beber á sus compañeros, que les acercas tu hiel y embriagas, para mirar sus desnudeces!
16Haste llenado de deshonra más que de honra: bebe tú también, y serás descubierto; el cáliz de la mano derecha de Jehová volverá sobre ti, y vómito de afrenta sobre tu gloria.
17Porque la rapiña del Líbano caerá sobre ti, y la destrucción de las fieras lo quebrantará; á causa de las sangres humanas, y del robo de la tierra, de las ciudades, y de todos los que en ellas moraban.
18¿De qué sirve la escultura que esculpió el que la hizo? ¿la estatua de fundición, que enseña mentira, para que haciendo imágenes mudas confíe el hacedor en su obra?
19¡Ay del que dice al palo: Despiértate; y á la piedra muda: Levántate! ¿Podrá él enseñar? He aquí él está cubierto de oro y plata, y no hay dentro de él espíritu.
20Mas Jehová está en su santo templo: calle delante de él toda la tierra.
King James Version
1I 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.
2And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3For 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.
4Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
5Yea 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:
6Shall 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!
7Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
8Because 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.
9Woe 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!
10Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.
11For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
12Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!
13Behold, 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?
14For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
15Woe 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!
16Thou 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.
17For 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.
18What 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?
19Woe 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.
20But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
World English Bible
1I will stand at my watch and set myself on the ramparts, and will look out to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer concerning my complaint.
2The LORD answered me, “Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he who runs may read it.
3For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it, because it will surely come. It won’t delay.
4Behold, his soul is puffed up. It is not upright in him, but the righteous will live by his faith.
5Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous: an arrogant man who doesn’t stay at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol; he is like death and can’t be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations and heaps to himself all peoples.
6Won’t 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, and who enriches himself by extortion! How long?’
7Won’t your debtors rise up suddenly, and wake up those who make you tremble, and you will be their victim?
8Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples will plunder you because of men’s blood, and for the violence done to the land, to the city and to all who dwell in it.
9Woe to him who gets an evil gain for his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil!
10You have devised shame to your house by cutting off many peoples, and have sinned against your soul.
11For the stone will cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the woodwork will answer it.
12Woe to him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!
13Behold, isn’t it from the LORD of Armies that the peoples labor for the fire, and the nations weary themselves for vanity?
14For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD’s glory, as the waters cover the sea.
15“Woe to him who gives his neighbor drink, pouring your inflaming wine until they are drunk, so that you may gaze at their naked bodies!
16You are filled with shame, and not glory. You will also drink and be exposed! The cup of the LORD’s right hand will come around to you, and disgrace will cover your glory.
17For the violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you, and the destruction of the animals will terrify you, because of men’s blood and for the violence done to the land, to every city and to those who dwell in them.
18“What value does the engraved image have, that its maker has engraved it; the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make mute idols?
19Woe to him who says to the wood, ‘Awake!’ or to the mute stone, ‘Arise!’ Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all within it.
20But the LORD is in his holy temple. Let all the earth be silent before him!”
