Job 24
1 Wherefore, since from the Almighty times are not hid, have, his knowing ones, no vision of 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 Boundaries, men move back, flocks, they seize and consume;
Mechan yo deplase bòn tè moun. Yo vòlò mouton lòt moun, mete ansanm avèk bann mouton pa yo.
3 The ass of the fatherless, they drive off, they take in pledge the ox of the widow;
Yo pran bourik ki pou timoun san papa yo. Yo sezi bèf vèv la jouk li resi peye dèt li.
4 They turn aside the needy out of the way, at once, are the humbled of the land made to 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 wilderness, they go forth with their work, eager seekers for prey, the waste plain, yieldeth them food for their young;
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 In the field—a man’s fodder, they cut down, and, the vineyard of the lawless, they strip of its late berries;
Y'ap ranmase rekòt pou lòt moun. Y'ap keyi rezen nan jaden pou mechan yo.
7 Ill-clad, they are left to lodge 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 With the sweeping rain of the mountains, are they wet, and, through having no shelter, they embrace a rock.
Lapli k'ap tonbe sou mòn yo mouye yo jouk nan zo. Yo kwoupi kò yo dèyè wòch pou pare lapli.
9 Men tear, from the breast, the fatherless, and, over the poor, they take a pledge;
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 Naked, they go about without clothing, and, famished, 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 Between their walls, are they exposed to the sun, Wine-presses, they tread, and yet are thirsty;
Nan lakou mechan yo y'ap moulen grenn oliv fè lwil. Y'ap kraze rezen fè diven. Men y'ap mouri swaf dlo.
12 Out of the city—out of the houses, they make outcry. and, the soul of the wounded, calleth for help, and, GOD, doth not regard it as foolish.
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 They, have become rebels against the light, —they are not acquainted with the ways thereof, neither abide they 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 With the light, riseth the murderer, He slayeth the poor and needy, And, in the night, he becometh 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 And, the eye of the adulterer, watcheth for the evening twilight, saying, Not an eye will see me! A covering for the face, he putteth on;
Mouche marye k'ap fè adiltè a ap tann solèy kouche konsa. Li bouche figi l' pou pesonn pa wè l'.
16 He breaketh, in the dark, into houses, —By day, they lock themselves in, They know not the light;
Lannwit, vòlè ap kraze kay moun. Lajounen yo kache, y'ap kouri pou solèy.
17 For, in the case of all such, morning to them is the death-shade, For, to be recognised, is a death-shade terror.
Yo pè limyè lajounen an. Men, pa gen anyen ki pou fè yo pè nan fènwa a.
18 Swift is he on the face of the waters, Speedily vanished their share in the land, He turneth not to 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 Maternal love shall forget him, the worm shall find him sweet, No more shall he be remembered, but perversity shall be shivered like 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 oppresseth the barren who beareth not, and, to the widow, he doeth not good;
Tou sa rive konsa, paske li maltrete fanm ki pa ka fè pitit. Li san pitye pou vèv yo.
22 Yea he draggeth along the mighty by his strength, He riseth up, and none hath assurance of life;
Lè sa a, Bondye detwi gwo chèf yo ak fòs ponyèt li. Li annik parèt, mechan an konnen li mouri.
23 It is given him to be secure, and confident, yet, 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 a little, and are not, Yea having been laid low, like all men, are they gathered, Even as the top of an ear of corn, do they hang down.
Zafè mechan yo mache byen pou yon tan. Men, apre sa, yo fennen tankou zèb savann, tankou tèt ble yo koupe.
25 But, if not, who then can convict me of falsehood? or make of no account my words?
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?
