Job 24
1 Howe should not the times be hid from the Almightie, seeing that they which knowe him, see not his dayes?
“Lwaki Ayinzabyonna tagera biseera? Lwaki abo abamumanyi tebalaba nnaku zaageze?
2 Some remoue the land marks, that rob the flockes and feede thereof.
Abantu bajjulula amayinja agalamba ensalo, ne balunda ebisolo bye babbye.
3 They leade away the asse of the fatherles: and take the widowes oxe to pledge.
Batwala endogoyi ya mulekwa ne batwala ennume ya nnamwandu ng’omusingo.
4 They make the poore to turne out of the way, so that the poore of the earth hide themselues together.
Basindiikiriza omunaku ne bamuggya mu kkubo, ne bawaliriza abaavu bonna mu ggwanga okwekweka.
5 Behold, others as wilde asses in the wildernesse, goe forth to their businesse, and rise early for a praye: the wildernesse giueth him and his children foode.
Endogoyi ez’omu ddungu nga bwe zeeyisa, n’abaavu bagenda bategana nnyo nga balondalonda obumere; mu ddungu mwe balonderera emmere y’abaana baabwe.
6 They reape his prouision in the fielde, but they gather the late vintage of the wicked.
Essubi eririibwa ensolo zaabwe baliggya ku ttale lye, ne banoga n’emizabbibu gy’aboonoonyi.
7 They cause the naked to lodge without garment, and without couering in the colde.
Olw’okubulwa engoye, basula bwereere; tebalina kye beebikka mu mpewo.
8 They are wet with the showres of the moutaines, and they imbrace the rocke for want of a couering.
Enkuba y’oku nsozi ebatobya, ne banywegera enjazi olw’okubulwa we beggama.
9 They plucke the fatherles from the breast, and take the pledge of the poore.
Omwana atalina kitaawe bamusika ku mabeere; omwana omuwere ow’omwavu bamuwamba olw’ebbanja.
10 They cause him to go naked without clothing, and take the glening from the hungrie.
Olw’okubulwa engoye bayita bwereere; betikka ebinywa by’emmere naye basigala tebalidde.
11 They that make oyle betweene their walles, and treade their wine presses, suffer thirst.
Basogolera emizabbibu ku mayinja, ne basambira mu ssogolero, naye ne basigala nga balumwa ennyonta.
12 Men cry out of the citie, and the soules of the slayne cry out: yet God doth not charge them with follie.
Okusinda kw’abantu kuwulirwa mu kibuga, n’emmeeme z’abafunye ebisago zikaabira obuyambi. Naye Katonda talina gw’asinzisa musango.
13 These are they, that abhorre the light: they know not the wayes thereof, nor continue in the paths thereof.
“Waliwo abo abajeemera omusana, abatamanyi makubo ge, abatasigala mu kwaka kwagwo.
14 The murtherer riseth earely and killeth the poore and the needie: and in the night he is as a theefe.
Omutemu agolokoka nga obudde buzibye n’atta omwavu n’ali mu kwetaaga; ekiro abbira ddala.
15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, and sayth, None eye shall see me, and disguiseth his face.
Eriiso ly’omwenzi lirinda buzibe, ng’agamba nti, ‘Tewali liiso linandaba,’ n’abikka ne ku maaso ge.
16 They digge through houses in the darke, which they marked for themselues in the daye: they knowe not the light.
Mu kizikiza mwe basimira amayumba, kyokka emisana baba beggalidde. Tebaagala kitangaala.
17 But the morning is euen to them as the shadow of death: if one knowe them, they are in the terrours of the shadowe of death.
Eri abo bonna ekizikiza ekikutte bwe budde bwabwe obw’oku makya. Kubanga bakola omukwano n’ebitiisa eby’omu nzikiza.
18 He is swift vpon the waters: their portion shalbe cursed in the earth: he will not behold the way of the vineyardes.
Bali ng’ebyovu ebiri kungulu ku mazzi, era omugabo gwabwe mukolimire mu nsi. Tewali musogozi n’omu alaga mu nnimiro zaabwe ez’emizabbibu.
19 As the dry ground and heate consume the snowe waters, so shall the graue the sinners. (Sheol h7585)
Nga ekyeeya n’ebbugumu bwe bimalawo amazzi agava mu muzira, aboonoonyi bwe batyo bwe bamalibwawo emagombe. (Sheol h7585)
20 The pitifull man shall forget him: the worme shall feele his sweetenes: he shalbe no more remembered, and the wicked shalbe broke like a tree.
Olubuto lunaamwerabiranga; envunyu eneemulyanga n’ewoomerwa. Tajjukirwenga nate, omukozi w’ebibi amenyeka ng’omuti.
21 He doth euil intreat ye barren, that doeth not beare, neither doeth he good to the widowe.
Bayiikiriza ne banyaga omugumba atazaala. Tebakolera nnamwandu bya kisa.
22 He draweth also the mighty by his power, and when he riseth vp, none is sure of life.
Naye Katonda awalula ab’amaanyi olw’obuyinza bwe. Newaakubadde nga bakulaakulana, kyokka tebalina bukakafu ku bulamu bwabwe.
23 Though men giue him assurance to be in safetie, yet his eyes are vpon their wayes.
Ayinza okubaleka ne babeera mu mirembe n’amaaso ge gabeera ku makubo gaabwe.
24 They are exalted for a litle, but they are gone, and are brought lowe as all others: they are destroyed, and cut off as the toppe of an eare of corne.
Bayimusibwa akaseera katono, oluvannyuma nga tebakyaliwo. Bakkakkanyizibwa ne bakala ne baggyibwawo nga abalala bonna. Basalibwa ng’emitwe gy’ebirimba by’eŋŋaano.
25 But if it be not so, where is he? or who wil proue me a lyer, and make my words of no value?
“Bwe kiba nga si bwe kiri, ani anannumiriza obulimba, n’afuula okwogera kwange okutaliimu?”
