Jòb 24
1 Poukisa Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a pa fikse yon dat pou li jije tout moun, yon jou pou li rann tout moun k'ap sèvi l' yo jistis?
Howe should not the times be hid from the Almightie, seeing that they which knowe him, see not his dayes?
2 Mechan yo deplase bòn tè moun. Yo vòlò mouton lòt moun, mete ansanm avèk bann mouton pa yo.
Some remoue the land marks, that rob the flockes and feede thereof.
3 Yo pran bourik ki pou timoun san papa yo. Yo sezi bèf vèv la jouk li resi peye dèt li.
They leade away the asse of the fatherles: and take the widowes oxe to pledge.
4 Yo enpoze pòv yo jwenn sa ki vin pou yo. Yo fòse tout pòv malere kouri al kache.
They make the poore to turne out of the way, so that the poore of the earth hide themselues together.
5 Tankou bourik mawon, pòv yo soti al nan dezè a, y' al chache lavi pou pitit yo ki grangou. Pa gen lòt kote yo ka ale.
Behold, others as wilde asses in the wildernesse, goe forth to their businesse, and rise early for a praye: the wildernesse giueth him and his children foode.
6 Y'ap ranmase rekòt pou lòt moun. Y'ap keyi rezen nan jaden pou mechan yo.
They reape his prouision in the fielde, but they gather the late vintage of the wicked.
7 Lè yo toutouni, yo pa gen rad pou mete sou yo. Lannwit, yo pa gen anyen pou chofe kò yo lè yo frèt.
They cause the naked to lodge without garment, and without couering in the colde.
8 Lapli k'ap tonbe sou mòn yo mouye yo jouk nan zo. Yo kwoupi kò yo dèyè wòch pou pare lapli.
They are wet with the showres of the moutaines, and they imbrace the rocke for want of a couering.
9 Mechan yo wete timoun san papa yo nan men manman yo pou fè yo tounen esklav. Yo pran rad pòv malere yo pou garanti dèt yo.
They plucke the fatherles from the breast, and take the pledge of the poore.
10 Pòv yo menm ap mache yon men devan yon men dèyè, san rad pou mete sou yo. Y'ap mache ranmase rekòt nan jaden, men y'ap mouri grangou.
They cause him to go naked without clothing, and take the glening from the hungrie.
11 Nan lakou mechan yo y'ap moulen grenn oliv fè lwil. Y'ap kraze rezen fè diven. Men y'ap mouri swaf dlo.
They that make oyle betweene their walles, and treade their wine presses, suffer thirst.
12 Nan lavil yo, ou tande moun k'ap mouri yo ap plenn. Ou tande moun ki blese yo ap rele anmwe. Men, Bondye fè tankou li pa tande yo.
Men cry out of the citie, and the soules of the slayne cry out: yet God doth not charge them with follie.
13 Se moun sa yo ki pa vle wè limyè a. Yo derefize konprann limyè a. Yo pa vle pran chemen limyè a nan tou sa y'ap fè.
These are they, that abhorre the light: they know not the wayes thereof, nor continue in the paths thereof.
14 Anvan bajou kase, ansasen an gen tan leve, pou li al touye pòv malere yo. Lannwit, se vòlò l'ap mache vòlò.
The murtherer riseth earely and killeth the poore and the needie: and in the night he is as a theefe.
15 Mouche marye k'ap fè adiltè a ap tann solèy kouche konsa. Li bouche figi l' pou pesonn pa wè l'.
The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, and sayth, None eye shall see me, and disguiseth his face.
16 Lannwit, vòlè ap kraze kay moun. Lajounen yo kache, y'ap kouri pou solèy.
They digge through houses in the darke, which they marked for themselues in the daye: they knowe not the light.
17 Yo pè limyè lajounen an. Men, pa gen anyen ki pou fè yo pè nan fènwa a.
But the morning is euen to them as the shadow of death: if one knowe them, they are in the terrours of the shadowe of death.
18 Lè sa a, Sofa di konsa: -Men dlo desann pote mechan yo ale. Madichon Bondye tonbe sou tout tè ki pou yo. Yo pa soti al travay nan jaden rezen yo.
He is swift vpon the waters: their portion shalbe cursed in the earth: he will not behold the way of the vineyardes.
19 Menm jan chalè fonn lanèj, lèfini tè sèk bwè dlo a, se konsa moun k'ap fè peche yo ap disparèt ale nan peyi kote mò yo ye a. (Sheol h7585)
As the dry ground and heate consume the snowe waters, so shall the graue the sinners. (Sheol h7585)
20 Tout moun bliye yo. Ata manman ki fè yo pa chonje yo. Se vè k'ap manje kadav yo. Yo fini tankou yon pyebwa yo koupe jete.
The pitifull man shall forget him: the worme shall feele his sweetenes: he shalbe no more remembered, and the wicked shalbe broke like a tree.
21 Tou sa rive konsa, paske li maltrete fanm ki pa ka fè pitit. Li san pitye pou vèv yo.
He doth euil intreat ye barren, that doeth not beare, neither doeth he good to the widowe.
22 Lè sa a, Bondye detwi gwo chèf yo ak fòs ponyèt li. Li annik parèt, mechan an konnen li mouri.
He draweth also the mighty by his power, and when he riseth vp, none is sure of life.
23 Bondye kite l' viv alèz san pwoblèm, men, se toutan l'ap veye tou sa l'ap fè.
Though men giue him assurance to be in safetie, yet his eyes are vpon their wayes.
24 Zafè mechan yo mache byen pou yon tan. Men, apre sa, yo fennen tankou zèb savann, tankou tèt ble yo koupe.
They are exalted for a litle, but they are gone, and are brought lowe as all others: they are destroyed, and cut off as the toppe of an eare of corne.
25 Si se pa konsa sa ye, ki moun ki ka demanti sa m' di la a? Ki moun ki ka fè wè pawòl mwen yo pa vo anyen?
But if it be not so, where is he? or who wil proue me a lyer, and make my words of no value?
