UJobe 24
1 “Kungani uSomandla engabeki izikhathi zokwahlulela na? Kungani labo abamaziyo belindela ize bengazazi lezinsuku na?
Why? from [the] Almighty not have they been stored up times (and [those who] know him *Q(K)*) not have they seen? days his.
2 Abantu bayayiguqula imingcele ngokususa izikhonkwane; bayayelusa imihlambi entshontshiweyo.
Boundaries people reach flock[s] they seize and they have pastured [them].
3 Bayathatha bahambe lobabhemi wentandane, bathathe inkabi yomfelokazi ibe yisibambiso.
[the] donkey of Fatherless ones they drive away they take as pledge [the] ox of a widow.
4 Abaswelayo bayabagudlula endleleni bancindezele abayanga belizweni baze bayocatsha.
They thrust aside needy [people] from [the] path together they are made to hide themselves [the] poor [people] of [the] earth.
5 Njengabobabhemi beganga enkangala, abayanga babhudula ukudla; egwaduleni kulapho okuzuzwa khona ukudla kwabantwababo.
There! wild donkeys - in the wilderness they go forth in work their seeking for food a desert plain to it food for the children.
6 Babutha ukudla kwenkomo emasimini badobhe okuseleyo ezivinini zababi.
In the field fodder its (they harvest *Q(K)*) and [the] vineyard of [the] wicked they glean.
7 Ngoba bengelazigqoko balala beze ubusuku bonke; kabalalutho lokuzembesa emqandweni.
Naked they spend [the] night because not clothing and there not [is] covering in the coldness.
8 Bagxonxwa lizulu lezintabeni bakhusele emadwaleni beswele indawo yokuphephela.
From [the] rain of [the] mountains they are wet and because not shelter they embrace [the] rock.
9 Umntwana oyintandane uhluthunwa ebeleni; usane lomyanga luyathunjelwa isikwelede.
People tear away from [the] breast a fatherless one and on [the] poor they take pledges.
10 Ngoba bengelazigqoko bahamba nqunu; bathwala izikhwebu zamabele kodwa belambile.
Naked they go about not clothing and hungry they carry a sheaf.
11 Bahluza ama-oliva emigelweni; bagidagida esikhamelweni sewayini kodwa bomile.
Between rows their they press out oil wine-presses they tread and they were thirsty.
12 Ukububula kwabafayo kuzwakala kuphuma edolobheni, lemiphefumulo yabalimeleyo ikhala icela uncedo. Kodwa uNkulunkulu kabeki muntu icala ngenxa yokona.
From [the] city men - they groan and [the] throat of [those] fatally wounded it cries for help and God not he puts offensiveness.
13 Bakhona labo abahlamukela ukukhanya, abangazaziyo izindlela zalokho kukhanya loba ukuhlala kuzo.
They - they are among [those who] rebel against [the] light not they pay regard to ways its and not they dwell in paths its.
14 Nxa ukukhanya kwemini sekuhambile isigebenga siyaphuma sibulale abampofu labaswelayo; ebusuku siyanyonyoba njengesela.
To the light he rises a murderer he kills [the] poor and [the] needy and in the night he is like thief.
15 Ilihlo lesiphingi lilindela ukuhlwa; sikhumbula sithi, ‘Akulamuntu ozangibona,’ sihlala sibusithile ubuso baso.
And [the] eye of an adulterer - it watches for twilight saying not it will observe me an eye and covering of face he puts.
16 Ebumnyameni abantu bayagqekeza izindlu, kodwa emini bayazivalela endlini; kabakufuni ukukhanya.
He digs into in darkness houses by day they seal up for themselves not they know light.
17 Bonke labo ubumnyama obukhulu buyikusa kubo; bathandana lezinto ezesabekayo ezobumnyama.
For together - [is] morning for them deep darkness for he is acquainted with [the] terrors of deep darkness.
18 Ikanti baligwebu phezu kwamanzi; esabo isabelo selizwe siqalekisiwe, ukuze kungayi muntu ezivinini.
[is] swift He - on [the] surface of [the] waters it is cursed portion their in the land not anyone turns [the] direction of vineyards.
19 Njengalokhu ukutshisa lokoma kuhangula ungqwaqwane oncibilikayo, kanjalo ingcwaba liyabahlwitha abenze isono. (Sheol h7585)
Drought also heat they snatch away [the] waters of snow Sheol [those who] they have sinned. (Sheol h7585)
20 Isibeletho siyabakhohlwa, impethu zizitike phezu kwabo; abantu ababi kabasakhunjulwa kodwa bayafohlozwa njengesihlahla.
It forgets him [the] womb - it sucks on him maggot[s] again not he is remembered and it was broken like tree injustice.
21 Bancindezela owesifazane oyinyumba longelamntwana, kumfelokazi kabalamusa.
[he] feeds on A barren [woman] [who] not she gives birth and a widow not he does good to.
22 Kodwa uNkulunkulu uyazihudulela kude izikhulu ngamandla akhe. Noma bangaze bahlale bazinze kodwa kabalathemba lempilo.
And he drags off mighty [ones] by power his he rises and not anyone trusts in life.
23 Angabayekela bahlale besizwa bevikelekile, kodwa amehlo akhe ayazibona izindlela zabo.
He gives to him to security so he may support himself and eyes his [are] on ways their.
24 Okwesikhatshana nje balodumo, baphinde banyamalale; bayehliswa njalo bafe njengabo bonke abanye; bayaqunywa njengezihloko zamabele.
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.
25 Aluba lokhu kungenjalo, ngubani ongathi ngilamanga alulazise amazwi ami abe yize?”
And if not then who? will he prove a liar me and will he make? into nothing speech my.
