Ayubu 24
1 Kwa nini nyakati za kuwahukumu waovu hazikuwekwa na Mwenyezi? Kwa nini siyo wale waliowaaminifu kwa Mungu huziona siku za hukumu zikija?
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 Kuna waovu waondoao alama za mipaka; kuna waovu walichukua kundi kwa nguvu na kulifanya lao.
Boundaries people reach flock[s] they seize and they have pastured [them].
3 Wanawadhurumu wanyonge punda wao; wanachukua ng'ombe wa mjane kuwa dhamana.
[the] donkey of Fatherless ones they drive away they take as pledge [the] ox of a widow.
4 Wanawaondoa wahitaji katika njia zao kwa lazima; masikini wa dunia yote wanajificha kutoka kwao.
They thrust aside needy [people] from [the] path together they are made to hide themselves [the] poor [people] of [the] earth.
5 Tazama, masikini hawa huenda kufanya kazi kama punda-mwitu mwituni, akitafuta chakula kwa uangalifu; pengine Araba itawapatia chakula kwa ajili ya 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 Masikini huvuna katika mashamba ya wengine usiku; wanakusanya zabibu kidogo kutokana na mapato ya waovu.
In the field fodder its (they harvest *Q(K)*) and [the] vineyard of [the] wicked they glean.
7 Wana lala bila kujifunika wakati wa usiku; hawana cha kujifunika wakati wa baridi.
Naked they spend [the] night because not clothing and there not [is] covering in the coldness.
8 Wanalowanishwa na mvua ya milimani; wanalala pembeni mwa miamba mikubwa kwani hawana makao.
From [the] rain of [the] mountains they are wet and because not shelter they embrace [the] rock.
9 Kuna waovu wanaowapokonya yatima katika kifua cha mama zao, na waovu wawachukuao watoto kama dhamana kutoka kwa masikini.
People tear away from [the] breast a fatherless one and on [the] poor they take pledges.
10 Lakini masikini wanatembea uchi; wajapokaa na njaa, wanabebea wengine chakula.
Naked they go about not clothing and hungry they carry a sheaf.
11 Masikini wanazalisha vinono ndani ya nyumba za waovu; wanakanyaga mashinikizo ya waovu, lakini wanakiu.
Between rows their they press out oil wine-presses they tread and they were thirsty.
12 Watu wananung'unika mjini; waliojeruhiwa wanaomboleza, lakini Mungu hasikilizi maombi yao.
From [the] city men - they groan and [the] throat of [those] fatally wounded it cries for help and God not he puts offensiveness.
13 Baadhi ya waovu hawa wanaiasi nuru; hawafahamu njia zake, wala kukaa katika njia zake.
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 Muaji huinuka na nuru; huuwa masikini na waitaji; ni kama mwizi wakati wa usiku.
To the light he rises a murderer he kills [the] poor and [the] needy and in the night he is like thief.
15 Pia, mzinifu hungoja wakati wa usiku; husema, 'Hakuna anionaye.' Hujibadilisha.
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 Waovu huingia katika nyumba gizani, lakini hujifungia wakati wa mchana; hawajari nuru.
He digs into in darkness houses by day they seal up for themselves not they know light.
17 Kwa kuwa asubuhi kwao wote ni kama giza totoro; wanaamani na vitisho vya giza totoro.
For together - [is] morning for them deep darkness for he is acquainted with [the] terrors of deep darkness.
18 Wanapotea polepole, lakini, kama povu juu ya maji; shamba lao limelaaniwa; hakuna anayekwenda kufanya kazi katika mashamba yao ya 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 Kiangazi na joto huondoa barafu; ndivyo kuzimu pia kunavyowaaribu waliotenda dhambi. (Sheol h7585)
Drought also heat they snatch away [the] waters of snow Sheol [those who] they have sinned. (Sheol h7585)
20 Mama yake atamsahau; polepole funza watamuuma; hatakumbukwa tena; kwa hiyo, waovu watavunjika 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 Mwovu anamrarua mgumba; hawatendi jema lolote kwa mjane.
[he] feeds on A barren [woman] [who] not she gives birth and a widow not he does good to.
22 Bado Mungu huwaondoa wenye nguvu kwa nguvu zake; huinuka na kuwadhoofisha.
And he drags off mighty [ones] by power his he rises and not anyone trusts in life.
23 Mungu huwaacha wajione wako salama, na wanalifurahia hilo, lakini anayaangalia maisha yao.
He gives to him to security so he may support himself and eyes his [are] on ways their.
24 Watu hawa wanatukuzwa; bado, kitambo tu, watapotea; hakika, watashushwa; watakusanywa kama wengine wote; wataondolewa kama sehemu ya juu ya masikio 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 Ikiwa sivyo, nani atanithibitisha kuwa mwongo; atakaye fanya maneno yangu kuwa si kitu?”
And if not then who? will he prove a liar me and will he make? into nothing speech my.
