Ayubu 24
1 “Kwa nini Mwenyezi asiweke nyakati kwa ajili ya hukumu? Kwa nini wale wamjuao wazitafute siku kama hizo bila mafanikio?
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 Watu husogeza mawe ya mpaka; huchunga makundi ya wanyama waliyonyangʼanya kwa nguvu.
Boundaries people reach flock[s] they seize and they have pastured [them].
3 Huwanyangʼanya yatima punda wao, na kumchukua rehani fahali wa mjane.
[the] donkey of Fatherless ones they drive away they take as pledge [the] ox of a widow.
4 Humsukuma mhitaji kutoka njia, na kuwafanya maskini wote wa nchi kulazimika kujificha.
They thrust aside needy [people] from [the] path together they are made to hide themselves [the] poor [people] of [the] earth.
5 Kama punda-mwitu jangwani, maskini huzunguka katika kazi zao za kutafuta chakula; mahali palipo jangwa huwapa chakula cha watoto wao.
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 Hukusanya chakula mashambani na kuokota masazo katika mashamba ya mizabibu ya waovu.
In the field fodder its (they harvest *Q(K)*) and [the] vineyard of [the] wicked they glean.
7 Kwa kukosa nguo, usiku kucha hukaa uchi; hawana chochote cha kujifunika baridi.
Naked they spend [the] night because not clothing and there not [is] covering in the coldness.
8 Hutota kwa mvua za mlimani, nao huikumbatia miamba kwa ajili ya kukosa pa kujisitiri.
From [the] rain of [the] mountains they are wet and because not shelter they embrace [the] rock.
9 Mtoto yatima hupokonywa matitini; mtoto wachanga wa maskini hunyakuliwa kwa ajili ya deni.
People tear away from [the] breast a fatherless one and on [the] poor they take pledges.
10 Kwa kukosa nguo, hutembea uchi; hubeba miganda ya ngano, lakini huwa na njaa.
Naked they go about not clothing and hungry they carry a sheaf.
11 Hukamua zeituni katika mawe ya kusagia; hukanyaga mashinikizo, lakini wanaona kiu.
Between rows their they press out oil wine-presses they tread and they were thirsty.
12 Kilio cha huzuni cha wanaokufa kinapaa kutoka mjini, nazo nafsi za waliojeruhiwa zinalilia msaada. Lakini Mungu hamlaumu mtu yeyote kwa kutenda mabaya.
From [the] city men - they groan and [the] throat of [those] fatally wounded it cries for help and God not he puts offensiveness.
13 “Wako wale wanaoiasi nuru, wasiofahamu njia zake wala hawakai katika mapito yake.
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 Wakati mwanga wa mchana unapotoweka, muuaji huinuka naye huwaua maskini na mhitaji; wakati wa usiku hunyemelea kama mwizi.
To the light he rises a murderer he kills [the] poor and [the] needy and in the night he is like thief.
15 Jicho la mzinzi hungojea wakati wa giza, naye hufikiri, ‘Hakuna jicho litakaloniona,’ naye huuficha uso wake.
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 Katika giza, huvunja majumba, lakini wakati wa mchana hujifungia ndani; hawataki kufanya lolote nuruni.
He digs into in darkness houses by day they seal up for themselves not they know light.
17 Kwa wote hawa, giza nene ndiyo asubuhi yao; hujifanya rafiki na vitisho vya gizani.
For together - [is] morning for them deep darkness for he is acquainted with [the] terrors of deep darkness.
18 “Lakini wao ni povu juu ya maji; sehemu yao juu ya nchi imelaaniwa, hivyo hakuna hata mmoja aendaye kwenye shamba la mizabibu.
[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 Kama vile joto na hari vinyakuavyo theluji iliyoyeyuka, ndivyo kuzimu kuwanyakuavyo waliotenda dhambi. (Sheol h7585)
Drought also heat they snatch away [the] waters of snow Sheol [those who] they have sinned. (Sheol h7585)
20 Tumbo lililowazaa huwasahau, nao huwa karamu ya mabuu; watu waovu hawakumbukwi tena, lakini huvunjika kama mti.
It forgets him [the] womb - it sucks on him maggot[s] again not he is remembered and it was broken like tree injustice.
21 Huwafanya mawindo wanawake tasa na wasio na watoto, nao hawaonyeshi huruma kwa wajane.
[he] feeds on A barren [woman] [who] not she gives birth and a widow not he does good to.
22 Lakini Mungu huwakokota wenye nguvu kwa uwezo wake; ingawa wamestawi, hawana hakika ya maisha.
And he drags off mighty [ones] by power his he rises and not anyone trusts in life.
23 Aweza akawaacha wakapumzika wakijihisi salama, lakini macho yake yanaona njia zao.
He gives to him to security so he may support himself and eyes his [are] on ways their.
24 Kwa kitambo kidogo hutukuka, hatimaye hutoweka; hushushwa na kukusanywa kama wengine wote, hukatwa kama masuke ya nafaka.
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 “Kama hili sivyo, ni nani awezaye kunithibitisha kuwa mwongo, na kuyafanya maneno yangu kuwa si kitu?”
And if not then who? will he prove a liar me and will he make? into nothing speech my.
