Job 24
1 Wherefore, since from the Almighty times are not hid, have, his knowing ones, no vision of his days?
Kāpēc tas Visuvarenais nav nolicis tiesas laikus, un kāpēc tie, kas Viņu pazīst, neredz Viņa dienas?
2 Boundaries, men move back, flocks, they seize and consume;
Robežas pārceļ, ganāmu pulku laupa un gana.
3 The ass of the fatherless, they drive off, they take in pledge the ox of the widow;
Bāriņu ēzeli aizdzen un atraitnes govi ķīlā.
4 They turn aside the needy out of the way, at once, are the humbled of the land made to hide themselves.
Nabagus grūž no ceļa un bēdu ļaudīm zemē visiem jāapslēpjās.
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;
Redzi, kā mežu ēzeļi tuksnesī tie iziet pie sava darba, agri celdamies pēc maizes, tuksnesis tiem ir barība priekš bērniem.
6 In the field—a man’s fodder, they cut down, and, the vineyard of the lawless, they strip of its late berries;
Tīrumā tie sev pļauj lopu ēdamo, un nolasa atlikas bezdievīgā vīna dārzā.
7 Ill-clad, they are left to lodge without clothing, and have no covering in the cold;
Kaili tie guļ bez drēbēm, apsega tiem nav pret aukstumu.
8 With the sweeping rain of the mountains, are they wet, and, through having no shelter, they embrace a rock.
Tie mirkst no lietus uz kalniem, un bez patvēruma būdami tie apkampj klintis.
9 Men tear, from the breast, the fatherless, and, over the poor, they take a pledge;
Bāriņu rauj no krūtīm un ņem no nabaga ķīlas.
10 Naked, they go about without clothing, and, famished, they carry the sheaves;
Kaili tie iet bez drēbēm, un izsalkuši tie nes kūlīšus.
11 Between their walls, are they exposed to the sun, Wine-presses, they tread, and yet are thirsty;
Šiem eļļa jāizspiež starp viņu mūriem, vīna spaids tiem jāmin un jāslāpst.
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.
Pilsētās ļaudis nopūšās un ievainoto dvēsele kliedz; un taču Dievs to grēku nesoda.
13 They, have become rebels against the light, —they are not acquainted with the ways thereof, neither abide they in the paths thereof.
Tie ir gaismas pretinieki, Viņa ceļus tie nepazīst un nepaliek uz Viņa tekām.
14 With the light, riseth the murderer, He slayeth the poor and needy, And, in the night, he becometh like a thief.
Gaismai austot slepkava ceļas, nokauj nabagu un bēdīgu, un naktī tas top par zagli.
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;
Un laulības pārkāpēja acs gaida krēslību un saka: Neviena acs mani nepazīs; un apslēpj savu vaigu ar apsegu.
16 He breaketh, in the dark, into houses, —By day, they lock themselves in, They know not the light;
Tie tumsā ielaužās namos, dienas laikā slēpjās, no gaismas nekā negrib zināt.
17 For, in the case of all such, morning to them is the death-shade, For, to be recognised, is a death-shade terror.
Jo visiem šiem tumša nakts ir par dienu, jo nakts briesmas tiem ir pazīstamas.
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.
Ātri tas nozūd pa ūdens virsu, viņa ežas ir nolādētas virs zemes, tas vairs nestaigās uz savu vīna dārzu.
Bula laiks un karstums aizņem sniega ūdeni, tāpat elle tos, kas grēkojuši. (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.
Pats mātes klēpis viņu aizmirst, tas ir gardums tārpiem, tas netop vairs pieminēts, netaisnība top salauzta kā sapuvis koks;
21 He oppresseth the barren who beareth not, and, to the widow, he doeth not good;
Jo viņš aplaupīja neauglīgo, kas nedzemdē, un nedarīja nekā laba atraitnei.
22 Yea he draggeth along the mighty by his strength, He riseth up, and none hath assurance of life;
Bet Dievs arī uztur varas darītājus ar savu spēku; vēl ceļas kas vairs neticēja, ka dzīvos.
23 It is given him to be secure, and confident, yet, his eyes, are upon their ways.
Viņš tiem dod drošību un stiprumu, un Viņa acis skatās uz viņu ceļiem.
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.
Tie ir augsti cēlušies, un mazs brīdis, tad to vairs nav; tie apgulstās, tiek savākti kā visi citi, un top nopļauti kā vārpas.
25 But, if not, who then can convict me of falsehood? or make of no account my words?
Vai tas tā nav? Kas mani darīs par melkuli un manu valodu pierādīs par tukšu?
