¶ Mwen moute sou fò a pou m' veye. Mwen kanpe sou tèt miray ranpa a, m'ap tann pou m' wè sa Seyè a pral di m', ki repons li pral ban mwen apre tout plenyen mwen plenyen ba li a.

Men repons Seyè a ban mwen. Li di m' konsa: -Ekri sa mwen pral fè ou wè a. Grave l' byen grave sou wòch plat pou moun ka li l' fasil.

Ekri l' paske se poko lè pou sa m' pral fè ou wè a rive. Men, li p'ap pran lontan ankò pou l' rive. Li gen pou l' rive vre. Si li pran reta pou l' rive, ou mèt tann. Paske, wè pa wè, li gen pou l' rive lè pou l' rive a.

Men mesaj la: Moun ki pa mache dwat devan Bondye p'ap chape. Men moun ki mache dwat yo va viv paske yo te kenbe konfyans fèm yo nan Bondye.

¶ Richès fè moun pèdi tèt yo pi mal pase bweson. Moun ki gen lògèy pa ka rete trankil. Tankou simityè, yo pa janm gen ase. Tankou kote mò yo ye a, yo pa janm gen kont yo. Yo mache pran tout nasyon yo pou yo. Yo mete tout pèp yo anba ponyèt yo.

Men, tout pèp sa yo pral pase yo nan betiz, yo pral rele chalbari dèyè yo, yo pral bay istwa sou yo. Yo pral di: Madichon pou moun k'ap plede pran sa ki pa pou yo! Kilè y'a sispann fè sa? Madichon pou moun k'ap bay ponya epi k'ap fè moun peye gwo enterè mete sou li!

Talè konsa, se nou ki pral nan pran ponya. Moun nou dwe yo pral leve dèyè nou. Yo pral piye tou sa nou genyen.

Nou te piye anpil nasyon. Koulye a rès moun ki te chape yo pral piye tou sa nou genyen paske nou te touye anpil moun, nou te fè peyi yo, lavil yo ansanm ak moun ki te rete ladan yo pase anpil mati anba men nou.

Madichon pou moun k'ap vòlò pou fè fanmi yo rich, k'ap bati kay sou mòn pou malè pa rive yo!

10 Se wont nou fè fanmi nou yo wont. Lè nou detwi anpil nasyon konsa, se pwòp tèt nou nou fè mal.

11 Ata wòch ki nan miray yo ap denonse nou. Poto travès kay yo ap fè menm bagay la tou.

12 Madichon pou moun k'ap touye moun, k'ap fè lenjistis pou bati lavil yo!

13 Travay pèp yo ap fè a pral boule nan dife. Se pou gremesi nasyon yo ap fatige kò yo travay di. Se Seyè a menm k'ap fè sa rive konsa.

14 Menm jan lanmè a plen dlo, se konsa toupatou sou latè moun pral konnen pouvwa Bondye a.

15 ¶ Madichon pou moun k'ap fè moun parèy yo bwè pou avili yo. Yo vide bweson ba yo jouk yo sou. Yo mete yo toutouni devan tout moun.

16 Moun p'ap fè lwanj pou yo. Okontrè, yo pral trennen yo nan labou. Se yo menm ki pral bwè pou yo sou jouk y'a mete yo toutouni devan tout moun tou. Seyè a nan kòlè li pral fè yo bwè gode chatiman li pare pou yo a. Yo t'ap chache lwanj? Se wont y'a wont pito.

17 Yo te koupe tout gwo rakbwa peyi Liban an. Koulye a, se yo yo pral koupe voye jete. Yo te touye tout bèt li yo. Koulye a, bèt li yo pral fè yo kouri al kache. Tou sa pral rive yo paske yo te touye anpil moun, yo te fè peyi yo, lavil yo ansanm ak moun ladan yo pase anpil mati anba men yo.

18 Kisa yon estati an bwa ka fè pou nou, pou nou fè moun travay fè li pou nou? Kisa yon estati fèt ak metal yo fonn ka fè pou nou? Se manti ase l'ap ban nou. Sa sa ap rapòte nou lè nou fè zidòl ki pa ka pale pou nou mete konfyans nou nan yo?

19 Madichon pou moun k'ap pale ak yon bout bwa, epi k'ap di l': Leve non! Madichon pou moun k'ap pale ak yon moso wòch ki pa gen lapawòl, epi k'ap di l': Kanpe non! Eske bout bwa ak moso ròch ka di ou anyen? Ou kouvri yo avèk plak lò ak plak ajan, se vre. Men yo pa gen lavi.

20 Seyè a kanpe nan kay ki apa pou li a. Se pou tout moun sou latè pe bouch devan li.

'Abakouk 2 ' not found for the version: Nouvo Testaman: Vèsyon Kreyòl Fasil.

I will stand at my watch(A)
    and station myself on the ramparts;(B)
I will look to see what he will say(C) to me,
    and what answer I am to give to this complaint.[a](D)

The Lord’s Answer

Then the Lord replied:

“Write(E) down the revelation
    and make it plain on tablets
    so that a herald[b] may run with it.
For the revelation awaits an appointed time;(F)
    it speaks of the end(G)
    and will not prove false.
Though it linger, wait(H) for it;
    it[c] will certainly come
    and will not delay.(I)

“See, the enemy is puffed up;
    his desires are not upright—
    but the righteous person(J) will live by his faithfulness[d](K)
indeed, wine(L) betrays him;
    he is arrogant(M) and never at rest.
Because he is as greedy as the grave
    and like death is never satisfied,(N)
he gathers to himself all the nations
    and takes captive(O) all the peoples.

“Will not all of them taunt(P) him with ridicule and scorn, saying,

“‘Woe to him who piles up stolen goods
    and makes himself wealthy by extortion!(Q)
    How long must this go on?’
Will not your creditors suddenly arise?
    Will they not wake up and make you tremble?
    Then you will become their prey.(R)
Because you have plundered many nations,
    the peoples who are left will plunder you.(S)
For you have shed human blood;(T)
    you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.(U)

“Woe to him who builds(V) his house by unjust gain,(W)
    setting his nest(X) on high
    to escape the clutches of ruin!
10 You have plotted the ruin(Y) of many peoples,
    shaming(Z) your own house and forfeiting your life.
11 The stones(AA) of the wall will cry out,
    and the beams of the woodwork will echo it.

12 “Woe to him who builds a city with bloodshed(AB)
    and establishes a town by injustice!
13 Has not the Lord Almighty determined
    that the people’s labor is only fuel for the fire,(AC)
    that the nations exhaust themselves for nothing?(AD)
14 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory(AE) of the Lord
    as the waters cover the sea.(AF)

15 “Woe to him who gives drink(AG) to his neighbors,
    pouring it from the wineskin till they are drunk,
    so that he can gaze on their naked bodies!
16 You will be filled with shame(AH) instead of glory.(AI)
    Now it is your turn! Drink(AJ) and let your nakedness be exposed[e]!(AK)
The cup(AL) from the Lord’s right hand is coming around to you,
    and disgrace will cover your glory.
17 The violence(AM) you have done to Lebanon will overwhelm you,
    and your destruction of animals will terrify you.(AN)
For you have shed human blood;(AO)
    you have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.

18 “Of what value(AP) is an idol(AQ) carved by a craftsman?
    Or an image(AR) that teaches lies?
For the one who makes it trusts in his own creation;
    he makes idols that cannot speak.(AS)
19 Woe to him who says to wood, ‘Come to life!’
    Or to lifeless stone, ‘Wake up!’(AT)
Can it give guidance?
    It is covered with gold and silver;(AU)
    there is no breath in it.”(AV)

20 The Lord is in his holy temple;(AW)
    let all the earth be silent(AX) before him.
