Job 24
1 “(Why does Almighty [God] not set a time when he will judge [evil people]?/I do not understand why Almighty [God does] not set a time when he will judge [evil people].) [RHQ] Those who know him never [RHQ] see him do that!
Gode da abuliba: le fofada: su eso hame ilegesala: ? Abuliba: le Ema hawa: hamosu dunu da moloidafa sia: ma: ne, fofada: su eso hame ilegesala: ?
2 [Some evil people] remove the markers of boundaries of [other people’s] land, [in order to steal their land]; they seize/steal [other people’s] sheep and put them in their own pastures.
Dunu ilia da soge eno lama: ne, alalo legesu afadenesa. Ilia sibi wa: i gilisima: ne, eno sibi wamolasa.
3 [Some] (take away/steal) the donkeys that belong to orphans, and they take widow’s oxen to guarantee that the widows will pay back the money that they loaned to those widows.
Ilia da guluba: mano ilia dougi wamolasa, amola didalo ea dabe bu ima: ne sesesa, ea bulamagau samogesa.
4 [Some] shove poor people off the road (OR, prevent poor people from (obtaining their rights/being treated justly)), and they force poor people to find places to hide from them.
Ilia hame gagui dunu amo moloidafa hou ba: ma: ne logo hedofasa. Amola ilia hahani dunu sesebeba: le, ilia hobeale, wamoaligisa.
5 The result is that poor people have to search for food in the desert like wild donkeys do.
Amaiba: le, hame gagui dunu da sigua dougi agoane, wadela: i hafoga: i sogega ilia ha: i manu hogosa. Ilia manogili ha: i manu ima: ne, sogebi eno hame ba: sa.
6 The poor people harvest left-over grain in other people’s fields, and gather grapes from vineyards that belong to wicked men.
Ilia da soge hame gaguiba: le, inia ifabia dadamisa. Ilia wadela: i hamosu dunu ilia waini sagaiga waini fage faisa.
7 During the night they have nothing to cover their bodies, nothing to keep them warm.
Gasia, ilia abula sosone diasu hameba: le, anegagini golasa.
8 When it rains on the mountains, the poor people become very wet, so they huddle under the rock ledges to be protected [from the rain].
Gibu amo da goumia daha amoga ilia da: i nanegasa. Ilia da nanegaiga anegagiba: le, igihaguga aliligisa.
9 [Some evil men] snatch infants away from their widowed mothers [SYN], and they say ‘I will return your babies to you when you repay the money that I lent to you.’
Wadela: le hamosu dunu da guluba: mano dudubu ili udigili hawa: hamoma: ne laha. Eno dunu da ilima dabe bu imunu galea, ilia da ilia mano amoga dabe imunusa: agoane samogesa.
10 But the poor people walk around with no clothes on; they are hungry while they are working to carry [other people’s] bundles of grain [to the places where their grain will be threshed].
Be hame gagui dunu da da: i nabado agoane ahoa. Ilia ha: aligiwane widi ha: i manu gamisa.
11 Poor people press olives to make [olive] oil; they tread on grapes [to make juice for wine], but [they are not allowed to drink any of it when] they become thirsty.
Ilia da olife susuligi hamomusa: , olife fage banesa, amola waini hano hamoma: ne, waini fage ososa: gisa, be ilila: da hano hanai.
12 In the cities, people who are wounded and dying cry out [to God for help], but God does not heed their prayers.
Moilai bai bagade ganodini, fofa: gi amola bogolalebe dunu ilia se nabawane wele sia: sa. Be Gode da ilia sia: ne gadosu hame naba.
13 Some wicked people avoid the light [because they do evil things in the dark]; they do not walk on roads that are lighted.
Wadela: i hamosu dunu da hadigidafa higasa. Ilia da amo hadigi hame dawa: digisa, amola amoma hame fa: no bobogesa.
14 Murderers steal things during the night, and then they arise before dawn in order that they may [go out again and] kill needy [DOU] people.
Hehebolo mabe galu, medole legesu dunu da nedigili, wa: legadole, hame gagui dunu medole legemusa: ahoa. Gasia, e da wamolasu hou hamosa.
15 Those who want to commit adultery wait for twilight/evening; they say ‘I do not want anyone to see me,’ so they keep their faces covered.
Inia uda adole lasu dunu da gasima: ne ouesalu, dunu eno da e mae ba: ma: ne, ea odagi dedebosa.
16 It is during the night that robbers break into houses [to steal things], but during the day they hide because they want to avoid [being seen in] the light.
Gasia, wamolasu dunu da diasu fili ganodini maha. Be hayoga ilia wamoaligisa amola hadigi ganodini hame ahoa.
17 All of those [people] want to do their evil things at night, not in the morning [when it is light], because they are not afraid of [the things that happen during the] night that terrify others.”
Ilia da eso ea hadigi amoma beda: i gala. Be gasia ilia beda: su hame dawa:” Soufa da amane sia: i,
18 “[But it is wicked people] who are swept/carried away by floods, and God curses the land that they own, and no one goes to work in their vineyards.
“Wadela: le hamosu dunu da hano leda: i amoga mini asi dagoi ba: sa. Gode da ilia soge amoga gagabusu aligima: ne sia: sa. Ilia da ilia waini sagaia hawa: hamomusa: hame ahoa.
19 Just like the snow melts away when it is hot and there is no rain, those who have sinned disappear into the place where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Eso da gia: sea, mugene ofo da alalolesisa. Amo defele, wadela: i hamosu dunu da dunu esalebe sogega bu mae ba: ma: ne alalolesisa. (Sheol h7585)
20 Not even their mothers remember them now; wicked people are destroyed like trees that are cut down, and maggots eat their corpses.
Ilia emedafa da ili gogolelesisa. Daba: da ilia da: i na dagosa. Amola ilia da ifa fili sa: i defele dasasa.
21 They mistreat women who have been unable to give birth to children and women who no longer have children [to take care of them], and they never do good things for widows.
Bai ilia da didalo ili se nabima: ne hamoi, amola aligime uda ilima hame asigi galu.
22 But God, by his power, gets rid of mighty/influential people. God acts and causes the wicked people to die.
Gode da gasa bagadeba: le, E da mimogo gasa bagade dunu gugunufinisisa. Gode Ea hamobeba: le, wadela: le hamosu dunu da bogogia: sa.
23 God allows them to think that they are secure and safe, but he is watching [MTY] them all the time.
Gode da ili fonobahadi gaga: iwane esaloma: ne, logo doasisa. Be E da ili eso huluane ha: giwane sosodo aligisa.
24 They prosper for a little while, and then [suddenly] they are gone; they disappear like weeds wither and die; they are like [SIM] stalks of grain that have been cut off.
Wadela: le hamosu dunu da fonobahadi hahawane amola bagade gaguiwane esala. Be amalu ilia da gagalobo amola widi gisi damui defele, hedolo biosa.
25 If this is not true, is there [RHQ] anyone who will show that I am a liar and prove that what I have said is not true?”
Amo da dafawane hame, nowa da sia: ma: bela: ? Nowa da na adoi da dafawane hame sia: ma: bela: ?”
