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.
Mpo na nini Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso akataka tango te mpo na esambiselo? Mpo na nini bato oyo bayebi Ye basengeli koluka na pamba mikolo ya boye?
2 Boundaries people reach flock[s] they seize and they have pastured [them].
Bato bapusaka bandelo, bakendaka koleisa bibwele oyo bayibaki,
3 [the] donkey of Fatherless ones they drive away they take as pledge [the] ox of a widow.
babotolaka ane ya mwana etike mpe bazwaka lokola ndanga ngombe ya mobali ya mwasi oyo akufisi mobali;
4 They thrust aside needy [people] from [the] path together they are made to hide themselves [the] poor [people] of [the] earth.
balongolaka babola na nzela, mpe batindaka na makasi babola nyonso ya mokili ete babombama.
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.
Lokola ba-ane ya zamba, babola bakendaka tongo-tongo na mosala mpo na koluka biloko ya kolia, kasi kaka esobe nde epesaka bana na bango bilei;
6 In the field fodder its (they harvest *Q(K)*) and [the] vineyard of [the] wicked they glean.
bakataka matiti na bilanga mpo na bibwele mpe balokotaka bambuma oyo etikalaka na bilanga ya vino ya moto mabe.
7 Naked they spend [the] night because not clothing and there not [is] covering in the coldness.
Na butu, balalaka bolumbu mpo na kozanga bilamba, bazangi bulangeti mpo na komifinika na tango ya malili;
8 From [the] rain of [the] mountains they are wet and because not shelter they embrace [the] rock.
bapoli na mvula ya ngomba, bakangami na mabanga mpo na kozanga esika ya kobombama.
9 People tear away from [the] breast a fatherless one and on [the] poor they take pledges.
Bazali kobotola mwana etike na mabele ya mama na ye, bazali kokanga mwana ya mobola mpo na niongo.
10 Naked they go about not clothing and hungry they carry a sheaf.
Soki bazangi bilamba, batambolaka bolumbu; bamemaka maboke ya nzete ya ble, kasi bazongaka kaka na nzala.
11 Between rows their they press out oil wine-presses they tread and they were thirsty.
Bakamolaka bambuma ya olive kati na mapango ya bato mosusu, bakamolaka bambuma ya vino, kasi bazongaka kaka na posa ya komela.
12 From [the] city men - they groan and [the] throat of [those] fatally wounded it cries for help and God not he puts offensiveness.
Bileli ya kufa ezali koyokana wuta na mboka, mpe milimo ya bato oyo bazoki ezali koganga mpo na koluka lisungi, kasi Nzambe azali kopesa etumbu ata na moto moko te.
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.
Bato oyo bazali kosala bongo, bazali kotombokela pole, bayebi nzela na Ye te mpe batambolaka ata kati na yango te.
14 To the light he rises a murderer he kills [the] poor and [the] needy and in the night he is like thief.
Mobomi azali kotelema na moyi mpe koboma mobola elongo na moto akelela; na butu, azali lokola moyibi.
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.
Liso ya moto ya ekobo ezelaka ete molili ekota; amilobelaka: ‹ Moto moko te akomona ngai, › mpe abombaka elongi na ye.
16 He digs into in darkness houses by day they seal up for themselves not they know light.
Kati na molili, bato balukaka kobuka bandako ya bato; kasi na moyi, bamikangelaka na ndako, bazali koboya pole.
17 For together - [is] morning for them deep darkness for he is acquainted with [the] terrors of deep darkness.
Mpo na bango, molili makasi ezali nde tongo, somo ya molili ekomaka moninga na bango.
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.
Nzokande bazali lokola fulufulu likolo ya etando ya mayi, eteni ya mabele na bango elakelami mabe epai ya bato ya mboka, yango wana moko te azali kokende na bilanga ya vino.
19 Drought also heat they snatch away [the] waters of snow Sheol [those who] they have sinned. (Sheol h7585)
Ndenge kokawuka mpe moyi makasi emelaka mayi ya mvula pembe, ndenge wana mpe mboka ya bakufi emelaka bato oyo basalaka masumu. (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.
Libumu ya mama ebosanaka bango mpe bankusu esepelaka kolia bango. Bakanisaka bango lisusu te, pamba te mabe na bango esili kobukana lokola nzete.
21 [he] feeds on A barren [woman] [who] not she gives birth and a widow not he does good to.
Bato mabe basepelisaka basi bazangi bana mpe bato oyo babotaka te, kasi basalaka bolamu te epai ya mwasi oyo akufisa mobali.
22 And he drags off mighty [ones] by power his he rises and not anyone trusts in life.
Kasi Nzambe, na nguya na Ye, abakisaka mikolo ya banyokoli na bango; ata batombolami, bazalaka na elikya te mpo na bomoi na bango.
23 He gives to him to security so he may support himself and eyes his [are] on ways their.
Nzambe apesaka bango kimia, kasi miso na Ye etalaka nzela na bango.
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.
Mpe atako sik’oyo bazali bato minene, na tango moke bakozala lisusu te, bakokweya mpe bakokufa lokola moto nyonso, bakokatama lokola mito ya ble.
25 And if not then who? will he prove a liar me and will he make? into nothing speech my.
Soki ezali bongo te, nani akoki kolakisa ngai ete nazali koloba lokuta? Nani akoloba ete maloba na ngai ezali ya pamba? »
