Job 24
1 Howe should not the times be hid from the Almightie, seeing that they which knowe him, see not his dayes?
“Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu sun maaliif yeroo murtii hin murteessine? Warri isa beekan maaliif akkasumaan guyyoota isaa hin argine?
2 Some remoue the land marks, that rob the flockes and feede thereof.
Namoonni dhagaa daarii ni dhiibu; bushaayee hataniis ni bobbaasu.
3 They leade away the asse of the fatherles: and take the widowes oxe to pledge.
Isaan harree ijoollee abbaa hin qabnee ooffatanii deemu; sangaa haadha hiyyeessaa qabdii fudhatu.
4 They make the poore to turne out of the way, so that the poore of the earth hide themselues together.
Rakkataa karaa irraa balleessu; hiyyeeyyiin biyyaa hundis isaan jalaa dhokatu.
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.
Hiyyeeyyiin akkuma harree diidaa kan gammoojjii keessaa nyaata barbaacha asii fi achi jooru; gammoojjii sana keessaas ijoollee isaaniitiif nyaata kenna.
6 They reape his prouision in the fielde, but they gather the late vintage of the wicked.
Isaan dirree irratti okaa walitti qabatu; iddoo dhaabaa wayinii nama hamaa irraas qarmii funaannatu.
7 They cause the naked to lodge without garment, and without couering in the colde.
Uffata dhabanii halkan qullaa bulu; waan dhaamocha keessatti uffatan tokko illee hin qaban.
8 They are wet with the showres of the moutaines, and they imbrace the rocke for want of a couering.
Isaan bokkaa tulluutiin tortoraniiru; waan itti daʼatan illee dhabanii kattaa hammatu.
9 They plucke the fatherles from the breast, and take the pledge of the poore.
Mucaan abbaa hin qabne harma irraa butameera; daaʼimni hiyyeessaa qabdii kennameera.
10 They cause him to go naked without clothing, and take the glening from the hungrie.
Isaan uffata dhabanii qullaa deemu; bissii baatu; garuu ni beelaʼu.
11 They that make oyle betweene their walles, and treade their wine presses, suffer thirst.
Isaan dhagaa gidduutti zayitii ejersaa baasu; wayinii cuunfu; garuu ni dheebotu.
12 Men cry out of the citie, and the soules of the slayne cry out: yet God doth not charge them with follie.
Aaduun warra duʼuutti jiranii magaalaa keessaa ni dhagaʼama; lubbuun warra madaaʼaniis gargaarsa barbaacha iyyiti. Waaqni garuu balleessaa tokko iyyuu isaanitti hin lakkaaʼu.
13 These are they, that abhorre the light: they know not the wayes thereof, nor continue in the paths thereof.
“Warri ifatti fincilan kanneen daandii isaa hin beekne yookaan daandii ifaa irra hin jiraanne jiru.
14 The murtherer riseth earely and killeth the poore and the needie: and in the night he is as a theefe.
Yommuu aduun dhiitu, namni nama ajjeesu ni kaʼa; innis hiyyeeyyii fi rakkattoota ni ajjeesa; halkan immoo akkuma hattuu taʼa.
15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, and sayth, None eye shall see me, and disguiseth his face.
Iji ejjaan dimimmisa eeggata; innis, ‘Iji na argu hin jirtu’ jedha; fuula isaas ni dhokfata.
16 They digge through houses in the darke, which they marked for themselues in the daye: they knowe not the light.
Namoonni dukkana keessa mana cabsanii seenu; guyyaa garuu ofitti cufanii oolu; isaan ifa hin beekan.
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.
Hunda isaaniitiif, dukkanni guddaan barii isaanii ti; isaan sodaa dukkana guddaatti michoomu.
18 He is swift vpon the waters: their portion shalbe cursed in the earth: he will not behold the way of the vineyardes.
“Taʼus isaan hoomacha bishaan gubbaa ti; akka namni tokko iyyuu gara iddoo dhaabaa wayinii hin dhaqneef, qoodni lafa isaanii abaarameera.
19 As the dry ground and heate consume the snowe waters, so shall the graue the sinners. (Sheol h7585)
Akkuma hoʼii fi hoongeen cabbii baqee xuuxee fixu, awwaalli namoota cubbuu hojjetan ni butata. (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.
Gadameessi isaan irraanfata; raammoonnis itti duuddee isaan nyaatti; namoonni hamoon akkuma mukaa ni caccabu; siʼachis hin yaadataman.
21 He doth euil intreat ye barren, that doeth not beare, neither doeth he good to the widowe.
Isaan dubartii dhabduu ni saamu; haadha hiyyeessaatiif illee garaa hin laafan.
22 He draweth also the mighty by his power, and when he riseth vp, none is sure of life.
Waaqni garuu humna isaatiin jajjaboota alatti harkisa; isaan ol kaʼu; garuu wabii jireenyaa hin qaban.
23 Though men giue him assurance to be in safetie, yet his eyes are vpon their wayes.
Inni akka isaan waan nagaan jiraatan seʼaniif ittuma dhiisuu dandaʼa; iji isaa garuu karaa isaanii ni toʼata.
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.
Isaan yeroo xinnoof mataa ol qabatu; ergasii immoo ni badu; gad deebifamaniis akkuma warra kaanii walitti qabamu; akkuma mataa midhaaniis ni muramu.
25 But if it be not so, where is he? or who wil proue me a lyer, and make my words of no value?
“Yoo kun akkas taʼuu baate eenyutu sobduu na godhee dubbii koo busheessa?”
