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!
Apay a saan nga ikeddeng ti Mannakabalin-amin dagiti tiempo para iti panangukom kadagiti nadangkes a tattao? Apay a saan a makita dagiti napudno iti Dios ti iyuumay dagiti aldaw a panangukomna?
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.
Adda dagiti nadangkes a tattao nga agiyakar kadagiti pagilasinan ti beddeng; adda dagiti nadangkes a tattao nga agagaw kadagiti arban ket ikabilda kadagiti bukodda a pagpaaraban.
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.
Ipanawda ti asno dagiti awanan ti amma; Alaenda ti kalakian a baka ti balo a kas pammatalged.
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.
Pilitenda a paglisien dagiti agkasapulan a tattao kadagiti pagnaanda; ilemmengan ida amin dagiti napanglaw a tattao iti daga.
5 The result is that poor people have to search for food in the desert like wild donkeys do.
Kitaenyo, rummuar dagitoy a napanglaw a tattao a mapan iti trabahoda a kasla kadagiti atap nga asno iti let-ang, nga agbirbiruk a naimbag iti makan; nalabit nga ipaayan ida ti Araba iti taraon para kadagiti annakda.
6 The poor people harvest left-over grain in other people’s fields, and gather grapes from vineyards that belong to wicked men.
Agapit dagiti napanglaw a tattao iti rabii kadagiti taltalon dagiti sabali a tattao; agtudtudda kadagiti ubas manipud iti nagapitan dagiti nadangkes a tattao.
7 During the night they have nothing to cover their bodies, nothing to keep them warm.
Agiddada a lamo-lamo iti agpatpatnag nga awanan ti pagan- anay; awan ti pagabbongda iti lammiis.
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].
Mabasbasada kadagiti arbis dagiti bantay; agiddada iti abay dagiti dadakkel a bato gapu ta awan ti paglinonganda.
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.’
Adda dagiti nadangkes a tattao nga agagaw kadagiti ulila manipud iti barukong dagiti innada, ken nadangkes a tattao nga agala kadagiti annak a kas pammatalged manipud kadagiti napanglaw a tattao.
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].
Ngem rummuar a lamo-lamo dagiti napanglaw a tattao nga awanan ti pagan-anay; uray no mapanda a mabisbisin, awitenda dagiti rineppet a dawa dagiti dadduma a tattao.
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.
Agar-aramid dagiti napanglaw a tattao ti lana kadagiti uneg dagiti pader dagiti nadangkes a tattao; baddebaddekanda dagiti pagpespesan ti arak dagiti nadangkes a tattao, ngem isuda a mismo ket mawaw.
12 In the cities, people who are wounded and dying cry out [to God for help], but God does not heed their prayers.
Iti siudad, umas-asug dagiti tattao; agpukpukkaw dagiti nasugatan a tattao, ngem saan nga ipangpangag ti Dios dagiti karkararagda.
13 Some wicked people avoid the light [because they do evil things in the dark]; they do not walk on roads that are lighted.
Ti sumagmamano kadagiti nadangkes a tattao ket bumusor iti lawag; saanda nga ammo dagiti dalanna, wenno saanda nga agtalinaed kadagiti pagnaanna.
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.
Agtakder ti mammapatay iti lawag; papatayenna ti napanglaw ken dagiti agkasapulan a tattao; iti rabii, kasla maysa isuna nga agtatakaw.
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.
Maysa pay, ur-urayen ti mata ti mannakikamalala ti sardam; kunkunana, 'Awan iti mata a makakita kaniak.' Manglimlimo ti rupana.
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.
Iti kasipngetan, agkali dagiti nadangkes a tattao kadagiti babbalay; ngem ilemmengda dagiti bagbagida iti aldaw; awan pakibibbianganda iti lawag.
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.”
Ta kadakuada amin, ti agsapa ket kasla iti nakaro a kinasipnget; nanam-ayda kadagiti pagbutbutngan iti nakaro a sipnget.
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.
Nupay kasta, matayda iti apagbiit, a kasla iti labutab iti rabaw dagiti dandanum; nailunod dagiti pasetda iti daga; awan ti siasinoman a mapan agtrabaho kadagiti kaubasanda.
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)
Runrunawen ti tikag ken pudot dagiti niebe a danum; kasta met a runrunawen ti sheol dagiti nagbasol. (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.
Lipatento isuna ti aanakan a nangipasngay kenkuana; sisasam-itto a mangan ti igges kenkuana; saanton a malagip isuna; iti kastoy a wagas, madadaelto ti kinadangkes a kasla iti maysa a kayo.
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.
Al-alun-unen ti nadangkes a tao dagiti lupes a babbai a saan a naganak; awan ti nasayaat nga ar-aramidenna kadagiti balo.
22 But God, by his power, gets rid of mighty/influential people. God acts and causes the wicked people to die.
Ngem guyoden nga iyadayo ti Dios dagiti nabibileg a tattao babaen iti pannakabalinna; tumakder isuna ket saanna ida a papigsaen iti biag.
23 God allows them to think that they are secure and safe, but he is watching [MTY] them all the time.
Ipalubos ti Dios a panunotenda a natalgedda, ket naragsakda iti maipanggep iti dayta, ngem adda dagiti matana kadagiti dalanda.
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.
Naitan-ok dagitoy a tattao; nupay kasta, iti apagbiit laeng, mapukawdanto; pudno, maipababadanto; maurnongdanto a kasla kadagiti amin a dadduma a tattao; maputeddanto a kasla kadagiti murdong dagiti dawa ti trigo.
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?”
No saan ngarud a kasta, siasino ti makapaneknek nga ulbodak; siasino ti makaibaga nga awan pategna dagiti sasaok?”
