 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLEHabakkuk:2 Biblia Hebraica (Stuttgartensia) | BHS (pdf - 3.5mb)  

1 I will take my stand to watch,
and station myself on the tower,
and look forth to see what he will say to me,
and what I will answer concerning my complaint.
The LORD's answer to Habakkuk. Hab.2.1-4עַל־מִשְׁמַרְתִּי אֶעֱמֹדָה וְאֶתְיַצְּבָה עַל־מָצֹור וַאֲצַפֶּה לִרְאֹות מַה־יְדַבֶּר־בִּי וּמָה אָשִׁיב עַל־תֹּוכַחְתִּי׃
2 And Yahweh answered me:
"Write the vision;
make it plain upon tablets,
so he may run who reads it.
 וַיַּעֲנֵנִי יְהוָה וַיֹּאמֶר כְּתֹוב חָזֹון וּבָאֵר עַל־הַלֻּחֹות לְמַעַן יָרוּץ קֹורֵא בֹו׃
3 For still the vision awaits its time;
it hastens to the end - it will not lie.
If it seem slow, wait for it;
it will surely come, it will not delay.
 כִּי עֹוד חָזֹון לַמֹּועֵד וְיָפֵחַ לַקֵּץ וְלֹא יְכַזֵּב אִם־יִתְמַהְמָהּ חַכֵּה־לֹו כִּי־בֹא יָבֹא לֹא יְאַחֵר׃
4 Behold, he whose soul is not upright in him shall fail,
but the righteous shall live by his faith.
 הִנֵּה עֻפְּלָה לֹא־יָשְׁרָה נַפְשֹׁו בֹּו וְצַדִּיק בֶּאֱמוּנָתֹו יִחְיֶה׃
5 Moreover, wine is treacherous;
the arrogant man shall not abide.
His greed is as wide as Sheol;
like death he has never enough.
He gathers for himself all nations,
and collects as his own all peoples."
 וְאַף כִּי־הַיַּיִן בֹּוגֵד גֶּבֶר יָהִיר וְלֹא יִנְוֶה אֲשֶׁר הִרְחִיב כִּשְׁאֹול נַפְשֹׁו וְהוּא כַמָּוֶת וְלֹא יִשְׂבָּע וַיֶּאֱסֹף אֵלָיו כָּל־הַגֹּויִם וַיִּקְבֹּץ אֵלָיו כָּל־הָעַמִּים׃
6 Shall not all these take up their taunt against him,
in scoffing derision of him, and say,
"Woe to him who heaps up what is not his own -
for how long? -
and loads himself with pledges!"
Doom on the unrighteous. Hab.2.6-20הֲלֹוא־אֵלֶּה כֻלָּם עָלָיו מָשָׁל יִשָּׂאוּ וּמְלִיצָה חִידֹות לֹו וְיֹאמַר הֹוי הַמַּרְבֶּה לֹּא־לֹו עַד־מָתַי וּמַכְבִּיד עָלָיו עַבְטִיט׃
7 Will not your debtors suddenly arise,
and those awake who will make you tremble?
Then you will be booty for them.
 הֲלֹוא פֶתַע יָקוּמוּ נֹשְׁכֶיךָ וְיִקְצוּ מְזַעְזְעֶיךָ וְהָיִיתָ לִמְשִׁסֹּות לָמֹו׃
8 Because you have plundered many nations,
all the remnant of the peoples shall plunder you,
for the blood of men and violence to the earth,
to cities and all who dwell therein.
 כִּי אַתָּה שַׁלֹּותָ גֹּויִם רַבִּים יְשָׁלּוּךָ כָּל־יֶתֶר עַמִּים מִדְּמֵי אָדָם וַחֲמַס־אֶרֶץ קִרְיָה וְכָל־יֹשְׁבֵי בָהּ׃ ף
9 Woe to him who gets evil gain for his house,
to set his nest on high,
to be safe from the reach of harm!
 הֹוי בֹּצֵעַ בֶּצַע רָע לְבֵיתֹו לָשׂוּם בַּמָּרֹום קִנֹּו לְהִנָּצֵל מִכַּף־רָע׃
10 You have devised shame to your house
by cutting off many peoples;
you have forfeited your life.
 יָעַצְתָּ בֹּשֶׁת לְבֵיתֶךָ קְצֹות־עַמִּים רַבִּים וְחֹוטֵא נַפְשֶׁךָ׃
11 For the stone will cry out from the wall,
and the beam from the woodwork respond.
 כִּי־אֶבֶן מִקִּיר תִּזְעָק וְכָפִיס מֵעֵץ יַעֲנֶנָּה׃ ף
12 Woe to him who builds a town with blood,
and founds a city on iniquity!
 הֹוי בֹּנֶה עִיר בְּדָמִים וְכֹוןֵן קִרְיָה בְּעַוְלָה׃
13 Behold, is it not from Yahweh of hosts
that peoples labour only for fire,
and nations weary themselves for nought?
 הֲלֹוא הִנֵּה מֵאֵת יְהוָה צְבָאֹות וְיִיגְעוּ עַמִּים בְּדֵי־אֵשׁ וּלְאֻמִּים בְּדֵי־רִיק יִעָפוּ׃
14 For the earth will be filled
with the knowledge of the glory of Yahweh,
as the waters cover the sea.
 כִּי תִּמָּלֵא הָאָרֶץ לָדַעַת אֶת־כְּבֹוד יְהוָה כַּמַּיִם יְכַסּוּ עַל־יָם׃ ס
15 Woe to him who makes his neighbours drink
of the cup of his wrath,
and makes them drunk,
to gaze on their shame!
 הֹוי מַשְׁקֵה רֵעֵהוּ מְסַפֵּחַ חֲמָתְךָ וְאַף שַׁכֵּר לְמַעַן הַבִּיט עַל־מְעֹורֵיהֶם׃
16 You will be sated with contempt instead of glory.
Drink, yourself, and stagger!
The cup in Yahweh's right hand
will come around to you,
and shame will come upon your glory!
 שָׂבַעְתָּ קָלֹון מִכָּבֹוד שְׁתֵה גַם־אַתָּה וְהֵעָרֵל תִּסֹּוב עָלֶיךָ כֹּוס יְמִין יְהוָה וְקִיקָלֹון עַל־כְּבֹודֶךָ׃
17 The violence done to Lebanon will overwhelm you;
the destruction of the beasts will terrify you,
for the blood of men and violence to the earth,
to cities and all who dwell therein.
 כִּי חֲמַס לְבָנֹון יְכַסֶּךָּ וְשֹׁד בְּהֵמֹות יְחִיתַן מִדְּמֵי אָדָם וַחֲמַס־אֶרֶץ קִרְיָה וְכָל־יֹשְׁבֵי בָהּ׃ ס
18 What profit is an idol
when its maker has shaped it,
a metal image, a teacher of lies?
For the workman trusts in his own creation
when he makes dumb idols!
 מָה־הֹועִיל פֶּסֶל כִּי פְסָלֹו יֹצְרֹו מַסֵּכָה וּמֹורֶה שָּׁקֶר כִּי בָטַח יֹצֵר יִצְרֹו עָלָיו לַעֲשֹׂות אֱלִילִים אִלְּמִים׃ ס
19 Woe to him who says to a wooden thing, Awake;
to a dumb stone, Arise!
Can this give revelation?
Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,
and there is no breath at all in it.
 הֹוי אֹמֵר לָעֵץ הָקִיצָה עוּרִי לְאֶבֶן דּוּםָם הוּא יֹורֶה הִנֵּה־הוּא תָּפוּשׂ זָהָב וָכֶסֶף וְכָל־רוּחַ אֵין בְּקִרְבֹּו׃
20 But Yahweh is in his holy temple;
let all the earth keep silence before him.
 וַיהוָה בְּהֵיכַל קָדְשֹׁו הַס מִפָּנָיו כָּל־הָאָרֶץ׃ ף

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
