Job 24
1 Why are not times treasured up with the Almighty? why do not they that know him see his days?
Poukisa Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a pa fikse yon dat pou li jije tout moun, yon jou pou li rann tout moun k'ap sèvi l' yo jistis?
2 They remove the landmarks; they violently take away the flocks and pasture them;
Mechan yo deplase bòn tè moun. Yo vòlò mouton lòt moun, mete ansanm avèk bann mouton pa yo.
3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge;
Yo pran bourik ki pou timoun san papa yo. Yo sezi bèf vèv la jouk li resi peye dèt li.
4 They turn the needy out of the way: the afflicted of the land all hide themselves.
Yo enpoze pòv yo jwenn sa ki vin pou yo. Yo fòse tout pòv malere kouri al kache.
5 Lo, [as] wild asses in the desert, they go forth to their work, seeking early for the prey: the wilderness [yieldeth] them food for [their] children.
Tankou bourik mawon, pòv yo soti al nan dezè a, y' al chache lavi pou pitit yo ki grangou. Pa gen lòt kote yo ka ale.
6 They reap in the field the fodder thereof, and they gather the vintage of the wicked;
Y'ap ranmase rekòt pou lòt moun. Y'ap keyi rezen nan jaden pou mechan yo.
7 They pass the night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold;
Lè yo toutouni, yo pa gen rad pou mete sou yo. Lannwit, yo pa gen anyen pou chofe kò yo lè yo frèt.
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and for want of a shelter embrace the rock...
Lapli k'ap tonbe sou mòn yo mouye yo jouk nan zo. Yo kwoupi kò yo dèyè wòch pou pare lapli.
9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor:
Mechan yo wete timoun san papa yo nan men manman yo pou fè yo tounen esklav. Yo pran rad pòv malere yo pou garanti dèt yo.
10 These go naked without clothing, and, hungry, they bear the sheaf;
Pòv yo menm ap mache yon men devan yon men dèyè, san rad pou mete sou yo. Y'ap mache ranmase rekòt nan jaden, men y'ap mouri grangou.
11 They press out oil within their walls, they tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
Nan lakou mechan yo y'ap moulen grenn oliv fè lwil. Y'ap kraze rezen fè diven. Men y'ap mouri swaf dlo.
12 Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out; and God imputeth not the impiety.
Nan lavil yo, ou tande moun k'ap mouri yo ap plenn. Ou tande moun ki blese yo ap rele anmwe. Men, Bondye fè tankou li pa tande yo.
13 There are those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
Se moun sa yo ki pa vle wè limyè a. Yo derefize konprann limyè a. Yo pa vle pran chemen limyè a nan tou sa y'ap fè.
14 The murderer riseth with the light, killeth the afflicted and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
Anvan bajou kase, ansasen an gen tan leve, pou li al touye pòv malere yo. Lannwit, se vòlò l'ap mache vòlò.
15 And the eye of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me; and he putteth a covering on [his] face.
Mouche marye k'ap fè adiltè a ap tann solèy kouche konsa. Li bouche figi l' pou pesonn pa wè l'.
16 In the dark they dig through houses; by day they shut themselves in; they know not the light:
Lannwit, vòlè ap kraze kay moun. Lajounen yo kache, y'ap kouri pou solèy.
17 For the morning is to them all [as] the shadow of death; for they are familiar with the terrors of the shadow of death.
Yo pè limyè lajounen an. Men, pa gen anyen ki pou fè yo pè nan fènwa a.
18 He is swift on the face of the waters; their portion is cursed on the earth: he turneth not unto the way of the vineyards.
Lè sa a, Sofa di konsa: -Men dlo desann pote mechan yo ale. Madichon Bondye tonbe sou tout tè ki pou yo. Yo pa soti al travay nan jaden rezen yo.
Menm jan chalè fonn lanèj, lèfini tè sèk bwè dlo a, se konsa moun k'ap fè peche yo ap disparèt ale nan peyi kote mò yo ye a. (Sheol h7585)
20 The womb forgetteth him; the worm feedeth sweetly on him: he shall be no more remembered; and unrighteousness is broken as a tree, —
Tout moun bliye yo. Ata manman ki fè yo pa chonje yo. Se vè k'ap manje kadav yo. Yo fini tankou yon pyebwa yo koupe jete.
21 He that despoileth the barren that beareth not, and doeth not good to the widow:
Tou sa rive konsa, paske li maltrete fanm ki pa ka fè pitit. Li san pitye pou vèv yo.
22 He draweth also the mighty with his power; he riseth up, and no [man] is sure of life.
Lè sa a, Bondye detwi gwo chèf yo ak fòs ponyèt li. Li annik parèt, mechan an konnen li mouri.
23 [God] setteth him in safety, and he resteth thereon; but his eyes are upon their ways.
Bondye kite l' viv alèz san pwoblèm, men, se toutan l'ap veye tou sa l'ap fè.
24 They are exalted for a little, and are no more; they are laid low; like all [other] are they gathered, and are cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
Zafè mechan yo mache byen pou yon tan. Men, apre sa, yo fennen tankou zèb savann, tankou tèt ble yo koupe.
25 If it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
Si se pa konsa sa ye, ki moun ki ka demanti sa m' di la a? Ki moun ki ka fè wè pawòl mwen yo pa vo anyen?
