Job 24
1 Why? from [the] Almighty not have they been stored up times (and [those who] know him *Q(K)*) not have they seen? days his.
“Chifukwa chiyani Wamphamvuzonse sayikiratu nthawi yoti aweruze? Chifukwa chiyani iwo amene amadziwa Iyeyo amayembekezera pachabe masiku oterewa?
2 Boundaries people reach flock[s] they seize and they have pastured [them].
Anthu amasuntha miyala ya mʼmalire, kuti akuze dziko lawo; amadyetsa ziweto zimene aba.
3 [the] donkey of Fatherless ones they drive away they take as pledge [the] ox of a widow.
Amalanda abulu a ana amasiye ndipo amatenganso ngʼombe ya mkazi wamasiye ngati chikole.
4 They thrust aside needy [people] from [the] path together they are made to hide themselves [the] poor [people] of [the] earth.
Amachotsa mʼmisewu anthu osauka, ndipo amathamangitsa amphawi onse mʼdziko.
5 There! wild donkeys - in the wilderness they go forth in work their seeking for food a desert plain to it food for the children.
Amphawiwo amakhala ngati mbidzi mʼchipululu, amayendayenda kufuna chakudya; dziko lowuma limapereka chakudya cha ana awo.
6 In the field fodder its (they harvest *Q(K)*) and [the] vineyard of [the] wicked they glean.
Iwo amakolola za mʼminda ya eni ake, ndipo amakunkha mphesa mʼminda ya anthu oyipa.
7 Naked they spend [the] night because not clothing and there not [is] covering in the coldness.
Amagona maliseche usiku wonse kusowa zovala; pa nthawi yozizira amasowa chofunda.
8 From [the] rain of [the] mountains they are wet and because not shelter they embrace [the] rock.
Amavumbwa ndi mvula ya mʼmapiri ndipo amakangamira ku matanthwe kusowa pobisalapo.
9 People tear away from [the] breast a fatherless one and on [the] poor they take pledges.
Amatsomphola mwana wamasiye wa ku bere; ndipo amagwira mwana wakhanda wa mʼmphawi kuti akhale chikole.
10 Naked they go about not clothing and hungry they carry a sheaf.
Amphawi amangoyenda maliseche kusowa zovala; amasenza mitolo ya tirigu, koma nʼkumagonabe ndi njala.
11 Between rows their they press out oil wine-presses they tread and they were thirsty.
Iwo amayenga mafuta a olivi mʼminda ya anthu oyipa; amapsinya mphesa, koma nʼkumamvabe ludzu.
12 From [the] city men - they groan and [the] throat of [those] fatally wounded it cries for help and God not he puts offensiveness.
Kubuwula kwa anthu amene akufa kumamveka kuchokera mu mzinda, anthu ovulala akulirira chithandizo. Koma Mulungu sakuyimba mlandu wina aliyense.
13 They - they are among [those who] rebel against [the] light not they pay regard to ways its and not they dwell in paths its.
“Pali ena amene amakana kuwala, amene safuna kuyenda mʼkuwalako kapena kukhala mʼnjira zake.
14 To the light he rises a murderer he kills [the] poor and [the] needy and in the night he is like thief.
Dzuwa likalowa, wopha anzake amadzuka ndipo amakapha osauka ndi amphawi; nthawi ya usiku iye amasanduka mbala.
15 And [the] eye of an adulterer - it watches for twilight saying not it will observe me an eye and covering of face he puts.
Munthu wachigololo amadikira chisisira; iyeyo amaganiza kuti, ‘Palibe amene akundiona,’ ndipo amaphimba nkhope yake.
16 He digs into in darkness houses by day they seal up for themselves not they know light.
Mbala zimathyola nyumba usiku, koma masana zimadzitsekera; izo zimathawa kuwala.
17 For together - [is] morning for them deep darkness for he is acquainted with [the] terrors of deep darkness.
Pakuti kwa onsewa mdima wandiweyani ndiye kuti kwawachera. Iwo amachita ubale ndi zoopsa za mdima.
18 [is] swift He - on [the] surface of [the] waters it is cursed portion their in the land not anyone turns [the] direction of vineyards.
“Komatu iwowo ndi thovu loyandama pa madzi; minda yawo ndi yotembereredwa pa dzikolo kotero kuti palibe amene amapita ku minda ya mpesa.
19 Drought also heat they snatch away [the] waters of snow Sheol [those who] they have sinned. (Sheol h7585)
Monga momwe kutentha ndi chilala zimasungunulira madzi owundana ndi momwemonso mmene manda amachotsera omwe achimwa. (Sheol h7585)
20 It forgets him [the] womb - it sucks on him maggot[s] again not he is remembered and it was broken like tree injustice.
Mayi wowabereka amawayiwala, mphutsi zimasangalala powadya; anthu oyipa sakumbukiridwanso koma amathyoka ngati mtengo.
21 [he] feeds on A barren [woman] [who] not she gives birth and a widow not he does good to.
Amachitira nkhanza mayi wosabala ndi mayi amene alibe mwana, ndipo sakomera mtima mkazi wamasiye.
22 And he drags off mighty [ones] by power his he rises and not anyone trusts in life.
Koma Mulungu amawononga munthu wamphamvu mwa mphamvu zake; ngakhale munthuyo atakhazikika, alibe chiyembekezo cha moyo wake.
23 He gives to him to security so he may support himself and eyes his [are] on ways their.
Mulungu atha kuwalola kuti akhale mosatekeseka, koma amakhala akupenyetsetsa njira zawo.
24 They are exalted a little - and there not [is] he and they are brought low like everyone they are contracted! and like a head of grain they wither.
Kwa kanthawi kochepa oyipa amakwezedwa ndipo kenaka saonekanso; amatsitsidwa ndipo amachotsedwa monga ena onse; amadulidwa ngati ngala za tirigu.
25 And if not then who? will he prove a liar me and will he make? into nothing speech my.
“Ngati zimenezi sizoona, ndani angaonetse kuti ndine wabodza ndi kusandutsa mawu anga kukhala wopanda pake?”
