Job 24
1 "Why aren't times made known by Shaddai? Why do not those who 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 There are people who remove the landmarks. They violently take away flocks, and feed them.
Mechan yo deplase bòn tè moun. Yo vòlò mouton lòt moun, mete ansanm avèk bann mouton pa yo.
3 They drive away the donkey of the fatherless, and 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 poor of the earth all hide themselves.
Yo enpoze pòv yo jwenn sa ki vin pou yo. Yo fòse tout pòv malere kouri al kache.
5 Look, as wild donkeys in the desert, they go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food. The wilderness yields them bread 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 cut their provender in the field. They glean the vineyard of the wicked.
Y'ap ranmase rekòt pou lòt moun. Y'ap keyi rezen nan jaden pou mechan yo.
7 They lie all 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 embrace the rock for lack of a shelter.
Lapli k'ap tonbe sou mòn yo mouye yo jouk nan zo. Yo kwoupi kò yo dèyè wòch pou pare lapli.
9 There are those who 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 So that they go around naked without clothing. Being hungry, they carry the sheaves.
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 make oil within the walls of these men. They tread wine presses, 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 From out of the populous city, men groan. The soul of the wounded cries out, yet God doesn't regard the folly.
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 "These are of those who rebel against the light. They do not know its ways, nor abide in its paths.
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 rises with the light. He kills the poor and needy. In the night he is like 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 The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, 'No eye shall see me.' He disguises 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. They shut themselves up in the daytime. They do not know the light.
Lannwit, vòlè ap kraze kay moun. Lajounen yo kache, y'ap kouri pou solèy.
17 For the morning is to all of them like thick darkness, for they know the terrors of the thick darkness.
Yo pè limyè lajounen an. Men, pa gen anyen ki pou fè yo pè nan fènwa a.
18 "They are foam on the surface of the waters. Their portion is cursed in the earth. They do not turn into 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 shall forget him. The worm shall feed sweetly on him. He shall be no more remembered. Unrighteousness shall be 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 devours the barren who do not bear. He shows no kindness to the widow.
Tou sa rive konsa, paske li maltrete fanm ki pa ka fè pitit. Li san pitye pou vèv yo.
22 Yet he preserves the mighty by his power. He rises up who has no assurance of life.
Lè sa a, Bondye detwi gwo chèf yo ak fòs ponyèt li. Li annik parèt, mechan an konnen li mouri.
23 He gives them security, and they rest in it. His eyes are on their ways.
Bondye kite l' viv alèz san pwoblèm, men, se toutan l'ap veye tou sa l'ap fè.
24 They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone. Yes, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others, and are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.
Zafè mechan yo mache byen pou yon tan. Men, apre sa, yo fennen tankou zèb savann, tankou tèt ble yo koupe.
25 If it isn't so now, who will prove me a liar, and make my speech worth nothing?"
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?
