Ayubu 24
1 “Kwa nini Mwenyezi asiweke nyakati kwa ajili ya hukumu? Kwa nini wale wamjuao wazitafute siku kama hizo bila mafanikio?
why? from Almighty not to treasure time (and to know him *Q(K)*) not to see day his
2 Watu husogeza mawe ya mpaka; huchunga makundi ya wanyama waliyonyangʼanya kwa nguvu.

4 Humsukuma mhitaji kutoka njia, na kuwafanya maskini wote wa nchi kulazimika kujificha.
to stretch needy from way: road unitedness to hide poor land: country/planet
5 Kama punda-mwitu jangwani, maskini huzunguka katika kazi zao za kutafuta chakula; mahali palipo jangwa huwapa chakula cha watoto wao.
look! wild donkey in/on/with wilderness to come out: come in/on/with work their to seek to/for prey plain to/for him food to/for youth
6 Hukusanya chakula mashambani na kuokota masazo katika mashamba ya mizabibu ya waovu.

8 Hutota kwa mvua za mlimani, nao huikumbatia miamba kwa ajili ya kukosa pa kujisitiri.

9 Mtoto yatima hupokonywa matitini; mtoto wachanga wa maskini hunyakuliwa kwa ajili ya deni.
to plunder from breast orphan and upon afflicted to pledge
10 Kwa kukosa nguo, hutembea uchi; hubeba miganda ya ngano, lakini huwa na njaa.
naked to go: went without clothing and hungry to lift: bear sheaf
11 Hukamua zeituni katika mawe ya kusagia; hukanyaga mashinikizo, lakini wanaona kiu.
between: among wall their to press wine to tread and to thirst
12 Kilio cha huzuni cha wanaokufa kinapaa kutoka mjini, nazo nafsi za waliojeruhiwa zinalilia msaada. Lakini Mungu hamlaumu mtu yeyote kwa kutenda mabaya.
from city man to groan and soul slain: wounded to cry and god not to set: put folly
13 “Wako wale wanaoiasi nuru, wasiofahamu njia zake wala hawakai katika mapito yake.
they(masc.) to be in/on/with to rebel light not to recognize way: conduct his and not to dwell in/on/with path his
14 Wakati mwanga wa mchana unapotoweka, muuaji huinuka naye huwaua maskini na mhitaji; wakati wa usiku hunyemelea kama mwizi.
to/for light to arise: rise to murder to slay afflicted and needy and in/on/with night to be like/as thief
15 Jicho la mzinzi hungojea wakati wa giza, naye hufikiri, ‘Hakuna jicho litakaloniona,’ naye huuficha uso wake.
and eye to commit adultery to keep: look at twilight to/for to say not to see me eye and secrecy face to set: make
16 Katika giza, huvunja majumba, lakini wakati wa mchana hujifungia ndani; hawataki kufanya lolote nuruni.
to dig in/on/with darkness house: home by day to seal to/for them not to know light
17 Kwa wote hawa, giza nene ndiyo asubuhi yao; hujifanya rafiki na vitisho vya gizani.
for together morning to/for them shadow for to recognize terror shadow
18 “Lakini wao ni povu juu ya maji; sehemu yao juu ya nchi imelaaniwa, hivyo hakuna hata mmoja aendaye kwenye shamba la mizabibu.
swift he/she/it upon face: surface water to lighten portion their in/on/with land: country/planet not to turn way: road vineyard
19 Kama vile joto na hari vinyakuavyo theluji iliyoyeyuka, ndivyo kuzimu kuwanyakuavyo waliotenda dhambi. (Sheol h7585)
dryness also heat to plunder water snow hell: Sheol to sin (Sheol h7585)
20 Tumbo lililowazaa huwasahau, nao huwa karamu ya mabuu; watu waovu hawakumbukwi tena, lakini huvunjika kama mti.
to forget him womb be sweet him worm still not to remember and to break like/as tree injustice
21 Huwafanya mawindo wanawake tasa na wasio na watoto, nao hawaonyeshi huruma kwa wajane.
to pasture barren not to beget and widow not be good
22 Lakini Mungu huwakokota wenye nguvu kwa uwezo wake; ingawa wamestawi, hawana hakika ya maisha.
