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!
Proč by od Všemohoucího neměli býti skryti časové, a ti, kteříž jej znají, neměli neviděti dnů jeho?
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.
Bezbožníť nyní mezníky přenášejí, a stádo, kteréž mocí zajali, pasou.
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.
Osla sirotků zajímají, v zástavě berou vola od vdovy.
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.
Strkají nuznými s cesty, musejí se vůbec skrývati chudí na světě.
5 The result is that poor people have to search for food in the desert like wild donkeys do.
Aj, oni jako divocí oslové na poušti, vycházejí jako ku práci své, ráno přivstávajíce k loupeži; poušť jest chléb jejich i dětí jejich.
6 The poor people harvest left-over grain in other people’s fields, and gather grapes from vineyards that belong to wicked men.
Na cizím poli žnou, a z vinic bezbožníci sbírají.
7 During the night they have nothing to cover their bodies, nothing to keep them warm.
Nahé přivodí k tomu, aby nocovati musili bez roucha, nemajíce se čím přiodíti na zimě.
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].
A přívalem v horách moknouce, nemajíce obydlí, k skále se přivinouti musejí.
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.’
Loupí sirotky, kteříž jsou při prsích, a od chudého základ berou.
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].
Nahého opouštějí, že musí choditi bez oděvu, a ti, kteříž snášejí snopy, v hladu zůstávati.
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.
Ti, jenž mezi zdmi jejich olej vytlačují, a presy tlačí, žíznějí.
12 In the cities, people who are wounded and dying cry out [to God for help], but God does not heed their prayers.
Lidé v městech lkají, a duše zraněných volají, Bůh pak přítrže tomu nečiní.
13 Some wicked people avoid the light [because they do evil things in the dark]; they do not walk on roads that are lighted.
Oniť jsou ti, kteříž odporují světlu, a neznají cest jeho, aniž chodí po stezkách jeho.
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.
Na úsvitě povstávaje vražedlník, morduje chudého a nuzného, a v noci jest jako zloděj.
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.
Tolikéž oko cizoložníka šetří soumraku, říkaje: Nespatříť mne žádný, a tvář zakrývá.
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.
Podkopávají potmě i domy, kteréž sobě ve dne znamenali; nebo nenávidí světla.
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.”
Ale hned v jitře přichází na ně stín smrti; když jeden druhého poznati může, strachu stínu smrti okoušejí.
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.
Lehcí jsou na svrchku vody, zlořečené jest jmění jejich na zemi, aniž odcházejí cestou svobodnou.
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)
Jako sucho a horko uchvacuje vody sněžné, tak hrob ty, jenž hřešili. (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.
Zapomíná se na něj život matky, sladne červům, nebývá více připomínán, a tak polámána bývá nepravost jako strom.
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.
Připojuje mu neplodnou, kteráž nerodí, a vdově dobře nečiní.
22 But God, by his power, gets rid of mighty/influential people. God acts and causes the wicked people to die.
Zachvacuje silné mocí svou; ostojí-li kdo z nich, bojí se o život svůj.
23 God allows them to think that they are secure and safe, but he is watching [MTY] them all the time.
Dává jemu, na čemž by bezpečně spolehnouti mohl, však oči jeho šetří cest jejich.
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.
Bývají zvýšeni poněkud, ale hned jich není; tak jako jiní všickni sníženi, vypléněni, a jako vrškové klasů stínáni bývají.
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?”
Zdaliž není tak? Kdo na mne dokáže klamu, a v nic obrátí řeč mou?
