Habakuki 2:5
Habakkuk 2:5 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015
hakika mvinyo humsaliti; ni mwenye kiburi na hana amani. Kwa sababu ni mlafi kama kuzimu na kama kifo kamwe hatosheki; anajikusanyia mataifa yote na kuchukua watu wote mateka.
Habakkuk 2:5 in English
Habakkuk 2:5 · Berean Standard Bible
and 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.
Context
3Kwa kuwa ufunuo huu unasubiri wakati uliokubalika;
unazungumzia mambo ya mwisho,
na kamwe hautakosea.
Iwapo utakawia, wewe usubiri;
kwa hakika utakuja na hautachelewa. 4“Tazama, amejaa majivuno;
anavyovitamani si vya unyofu:
lakini mwenye haki ataishi kwa imani yake: 5hakika mvinyo humsaliti;
ni mwenye kiburi na hana amani.
Kwa sababu ni mlafi kama kuzimu
na kama kifo kamwe hatosheki;
anajikusanyia mataifa yote
na kuchukua watu wote mateka. 6“Je, watu wote hawatamsuta kwa dhihaka na kumbeza, wakisema,
“ ‘Ole wake yeye akusanyaye bidhaa zilizoibwa
na kujifanyia utajiri kwa kutoza kwa nguvu!
Ataendelea hivi kwa muda gani?’ 7Je, wadai wako hawatainuka ghafula?
Je, hawataamka na kukufanya utetemeke?
Kisha utakuwa mhanga kwao.
