< 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.
“Gịnị mere Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile adịghị ahọpụta oge maka ikpe ikpe? Gịnị mere ndị maara ya ga-eji na-ele anya nʼefu maka oge ndị a?
2 Boundaries people reach flock[s] they seize and they have pastured [them].
Ụfọdụ ụmụ mmadụ na-ewezuga nkume oke ala, na-elekọta igwe atụrụ ha zutere nʼohi.
3 [the] donkey of Fatherless ones they drive away they take as pledge [the] ox of a widow.
Ha na-apụnara ịnyịnya ibu nke nwa mgbei, ha na-anarakwa ehi nke nwanyị di ya nwụrụ nʼihe ebe.
4 They thrust aside needy [people] from [the] path together they are made to hide themselves [the] poor [people] of [the] earth.
Site nʼokporoụzọ ka ha na-akwapụ ndị nọ na mkpa. Ha na-ejikwa aka ike mee ka ndị ogbenye dị nʼala ahụ zoo onwe ha.
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.
Dịka ịnyịnya ibu ọhịa nọ nʼọzara, otu a ka ndị ogbenye si agagharị na-achọgharị ihe oriri, ala na-adịghị epupụta ihe na-enye ụmụ ha nri.
6 In the field fodder its (they harvest *Q(K)*) and [the] vineyard of [the] wicked they glean.
Ha na-ekpokọta ahịhịa anụ ụlọ na-ata nʼubi, na-atụtụkọtakwa mkpụrụ vaịnị nke fọdụrụ nʼubi ndị ajọ omume.
7 Naked they spend [the] night because not clothing and there not [is] covering in the coldness.
Nʼihi enweghị uwe, ha na-agba ọtọ nʼabalị, ha enwekwaghị akwa iji kpuchie onwe ha oyi.
8 From [the] rain of [the] mountains they are wet and because not shelter they embrace [the] rock.
Oke mmiri ozuzo nke ugwu na-ede ha ahụ, ha na-amaku nkume nʼihi enweghị ebe mgbaba.
9 People tear away from [the] breast a fatherless one and on [the] poor they take pledges.
Nwa na-enweghị nna ka a na-eji ike napụ ara. Nwa ọhụrụ nke onye ogbenye ka a na-anara nʼihe ebe.
10 Naked they go about not clothing and hungry they carry a sheaf.
Nʼihi enweghị akwa ha na-agba ọtọ na-agagharị, ha na-ebu ukwu ọka ma nọrọ nʼagụụ.
11 Between rows their they press out oil wine-presses they tread and they were thirsty.
Ha na-asụpụta mmanụ oliv nʼelu ebe e mebere maka ya, ha na-azọchapụta mmanya vaịnị ma akpịrị na-akpọ ha nkụ.
12 From [the] city men - they groan and [the] throat of [those] fatally wounded it cries for help and God not he puts offensiveness.
Ụzụ ịsụ ude ndị na-anwụ si nʼobodo na-ebili, mkpụrụobi nke ndị e merụrụ ahụ na-eti mkpu enyemaka. Ma ọ dịghị onye Chineke na-ahụta ka onye ikpe mara nʼihi ihe ndị a.
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.
“Ọ dị ndị na-enupu isi megide ìhè, ndị na-amaghị ụzọ ya maọbụ na-anọgide nʼụzọ ya.
14 To the light he rises a murderer he kills [the] poor and [the] needy and in the night he is like thief.
Mgbe ìhè nke ụbọchị gafere, ogbu mmadụ na-ebili, gbuo onye ogbenye na onye nọ na mkpa; nʼabalị kwa, ọ na-ezoba dịka onye ohi.
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.
Anya onye na-akwa iko na-ele anya chi ojiji; ọ na-eche nʼobi ya sị, ‘Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla ga-ahụ m,’ ọ na-ekpuchikwa ihu ya.
16 He digs into in darkness houses by day they seal up for themselves not they know light.
Nʼọchịchịrị, ndị ohi na-egbuka ụlọ ndị mmadụ baa, ma nʼehihie ha na-emechibido onwe ha ụzọ nʼime ụlọ; o nweghị ihe ha na ìhè jikọrọ.
17 For together - [is] morning for them deep darkness for he is acquainted with [the] terrors of deep darkness.
Nʼebe ha niile nọ, etiti abalị bụ ụtụtụ ha, ha na ihe egwu nke ọchịchịrị bụ enyi.
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.
“Ma ha bụ ụfụfụ dị nʼelu mmiri; ala ha ketara bụ ihe a bụrụ ọnụ, nke mere na ọ dịghị onye na-agakwa nʼubi vaịnị ha.
19 Drought also heat they snatch away [the] waters of snow Sheol [those who] they have sinned. (Sheol h7585)
Dịka okpomọkụ na ọkọchị si eme ka mkpụrụ mmiri oyi gbazee, otu a ka ala ili si ewere ndị mehiere nʼike. (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.
Akpanwa na-echefu ha, ikpuru na-eji ha mere ihe oriri; anaghị echetakwa ndị ajọọ omume kama a na-etiji ha dịka osisi.
21 [he] feeds on A barren [woman] [who] not she gives birth and a widow not he does good to.
Ha na-akpagbu nwanyị aga na nwanyị na-enweghị nwa, ha adịghị elekọta nwanyị di ya nwụrụ.
22 And he drags off mighty [ones] by power his he rises and not anyone trusts in life.
Ma Chineke na-eji ike ya dọkpụrụ ndị dị ike nke ukwuu pụọ, ọ bụ ezie na ha bụ ndị ihe na-agara nke ọma, ma ha enweghị nkwa nke ndụ.
23 He gives to him to security so he may support himself and eyes his [are] on ways their.
Ọ nwere ike ime ka ha dabere na ntụkwasị obi na o nweghị ihe pụrụ ịmetụ ha, ma anya ya dịkwasịrị ụzọ ha niile.
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.
A na-ebuli ha elu nwa mgbe nta, ma e mesịa, ha anọkwaghị, a na-eweda ha nʼala chikọtakwa ha dịka ndị ọzọ, a na-ebipụ ha dịka ukwu ọka.
25 And if not then who? will he prove a liar me and will he make? into nothing speech my.
“Ọ bụrụ na ọ bụghị otu a, onye pụrụ ị sị na ihe m kwuru bụ okwu ụgha si otu a mee ka okwu m bụrụ ihe efu?”
