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.
“Lwaki Ayinzabyonna tagera biseera? Lwaki abo abamumanyi tebalaba nnaku zaageze?
2 Boundaries people reach flock[s] they seize and they have pastured [them].
Abantu bajjulula amayinja agalamba ensalo, ne balunda ebisolo bye babbye.
3 [the] donkey of Fatherless ones they drive away they take as pledge [the] ox of a widow.
Batwala endogoyi ya mulekwa ne batwala ennume ya nnamwandu ng’omusingo.
4 They thrust aside needy [people] from [the] path together they are made to hide themselves [the] poor [people] of [the] earth.
Basindiikiriza omunaku ne bamuggya mu kkubo, ne bawaliriza abaavu bonna mu ggwanga okwekweka.
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.
Endogoyi ez’omu ddungu nga bwe zeeyisa, n’abaavu bagenda bategana nnyo nga balondalonda obumere; mu ddungu mwe balonderera emmere y’abaana baabwe.
6 In the field fodder its (they harvest *Q(K)*) and [the] vineyard of [the] wicked they glean.
Essubi eririibwa ensolo zaabwe baliggya ku ttale lye, ne banoga n’emizabbibu gy’aboonoonyi.
7 Naked they spend [the] night because not clothing and there not [is] covering in the coldness.
Olw’okubulwa engoye, basula bwereere; tebalina kye beebikka mu mpewo.
8 From [the] rain of [the] mountains they are wet and because not shelter they embrace [the] rock.
Enkuba y’oku nsozi ebatobya, ne banywegera enjazi olw’okubulwa we beggama.
9 People tear away from [the] breast a fatherless one and on [the] poor they take pledges.
Omwana atalina kitaawe bamusika ku mabeere; omwana omuwere ow’omwavu bamuwamba olw’ebbanja.
10 Naked they go about not clothing and hungry they carry a sheaf.
Olw’okubulwa engoye bayita bwereere; betikka ebinywa by’emmere naye basigala tebalidde.
11 Between rows their they press out oil wine-presses they tread and they were thirsty.
Basogolera emizabbibu ku mayinja, ne basambira mu ssogolero, naye ne basigala nga balumwa ennyonta.
12 From [the] city men - they groan and [the] throat of [those] fatally wounded it cries for help and God not he puts offensiveness.
Okusinda kw’abantu kuwulirwa mu kibuga, n’emmeeme z’abafunye ebisago zikaabira obuyambi. Naye Katonda talina gw’asinzisa musango.
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.
“Waliwo abo abajeemera omusana, abatamanyi makubo ge, abatasigala mu kwaka kwagwo.
14 To the light he rises a murderer he kills [the] poor and [the] needy and in the night he is like thief.
Omutemu agolokoka nga obudde buzibye n’atta omwavu n’ali mu kwetaaga; ekiro abbira ddala.
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.
Eriiso ly’omwenzi lirinda buzibe, ng’agamba nti, ‘Tewali liiso linandaba,’ n’abikka ne ku maaso ge.
16 He digs into in darkness houses by day they seal up for themselves not they know light.
Mu kizikiza mwe basimira amayumba, kyokka emisana baba beggalidde. Tebaagala kitangaala.
17 For together - [is] morning for them deep darkness for he is acquainted with [the] terrors of deep darkness.
Eri abo bonna ekizikiza ekikutte bwe budde bwabwe obw’oku makya. Kubanga bakola omukwano n’ebitiisa eby’omu nzikiza.
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.
Bali ng’ebyovu ebiri kungulu ku mazzi, era omugabo gwabwe mukolimire mu nsi. Tewali musogozi n’omu alaga mu nnimiro zaabwe ez’emizabbibu.
19 Drought also heat they snatch away [the] waters of snow Sheol [those who] they have sinned. (Sheol h7585)
Nga ekyeeya n’ebbugumu bwe bimalawo amazzi agava mu muzira, aboonoonyi bwe batyo bwe bamalibwawo emagombe. (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.
Olubuto lunaamwerabiranga; envunyu eneemulyanga n’ewoomerwa. Tajjukirwenga nate, omukozi w’ebibi amenyeka ng’omuti.
21 [he] feeds on A barren [woman] [who] not she gives birth and a widow not he does good to.
Bayiikiriza ne banyaga omugumba atazaala. Tebakolera nnamwandu bya kisa.
22 And he drags off mighty [ones] by power his he rises and not anyone trusts in life.
Naye Katonda awalula ab’amaanyi olw’obuyinza bwe. Newaakubadde nga bakulaakulana, kyokka tebalina bukakafu ku bulamu bwabwe.
23 He gives to him to security so he may support himself and eyes his [are] on ways their.
Ayinza okubaleka ne babeera mu mirembe n’amaaso ge gabeera ku makubo gaabwe.
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.
Bayimusibwa akaseera katono, oluvannyuma nga tebakyaliwo. Bakkakkanyizibwa ne bakala ne baggyibwawo nga abalala bonna. Basalibwa ng’emitwe gy’ebirimba by’eŋŋaano.
25 And if not then who? will he prove a liar me and will he make? into nothing speech my.
“Bwe kiba nga si bwe kiri, ani anannumiriza obulimba, n’afuula okwogera kwange okutaliimu?”
