Job 24
1 Why are times not laid up by the Almighty? And why do those who know him not see his days?
Почто же Господа утаишася часы,
2 There are men who remove the landmarks. They take away flocks violently, and feed them.
нечестивии же предел преидоша, стадо с пастырем разграбивше?
3 They drive away the donkey of the fatherless. They take the widow's ox for a pledge.
Подяремника сирых отведоша и вола вдовича в залог взяша:
4 They turn the needy out of the way. The poor of the earth all hide themselves.
уклониша немощных от пути праведнаго, вкупе же скрышася кротцыи земли:
5 Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert, they go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food. The wilderness yields them bread for their sons.
изыдоша же, яко осли на село, на мя, изступивше своего чина: сладок бысть хлеб им ради юных.
6 They cut their provender in the field, and they glean the vintage of the wicked.
Ниву прежде времене не свою сущу пожаша, немощнии же виноград нечестивых без мзды и без брашна возделаша:
7 They lie all night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold.
нагих многих успиша без риз, одежду же души их отяша:
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
каплями горскими мокнут, занеже не имеяху покрова, в камение облекошася:
9 There are men who pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor,
восхитиша сироту от сосца, падшаго же смириша:
10 so that they go about naked without clothing, and being hungry they carry the sheaves.
нагия же успиша неправедно, от алчущих же хлеб отяша:
11 They make oil within the walls of these men. They tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
в теснинах неправедно заседоша, пути же праведнаго не ведеша.
12 From out of the populous city men groan, and the soul of the wounded cries out. Yet God does not regard the folly.
Уже из града и из домов своих изгоними бываху, душа же младенцев стеняше вельми: Бог же почто сих посещения не сотвори?
13 These are of those who rebel against the light. They do not know the ways of it, nor abide in the paths of it.
На земли сущым им, и не разумеша, пути же праведнаго не ведеша, ни по стезям его ходиша.
14 The murderer rises with the light. He kills the poor and needy. And in the night he is as a thief.
Разумев же их дела, предаде их во тму, и в нощи будет яко тать.
15 The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me. And he disguises his face.
И око прелюбодея сохрани тму, глаголя: не узрит мя око: и покрывало лицу наложи.
16 In the dark they dig through houses. They shut themselves up in the daytime. They do not know the light.
Прокопа в нощи храмины, во днех же запечатлеша себе, не познаша света:
17 For the morning is to all of them as thick darkness. For they know the terrors of the thick darkness.
яко абие заутра им сень смерти, понеже познает мятеж сени смертныя.
18 Swiftly they pass away upon the face of the waters. Their portion is cursed in the earth. They do not turn into the way of the vineyards.
Легок есть на лицы воды: проклята буди часть их на земли, да явятся же садовия их на земли суха:
рукоятие бо сирых разграбиша. (Sheol h7585)
20 The womb shall forget him. The worm shall feed sweetly on him. He shall be no more remembered. And unrighteousness shall be broken as a tree.
Потом воспомянен бысть ему грех, и якоже мгла росы изчезе: воздано же буди ему, еже содея, сокрушен же буди всяк неправдив яко древо неизцельно:
21 He devours the barren who do not bear, and does no good to the widow.
неплодней бо не добро сотвори и жены не помилова.
22 Yet God preserves the mighty by his power. He rises up who has no assurance of life.
Яростию же низврати немощныя: востав убо не имать веры яти о своем житии.
23 God gives them to be in security, and they rest in it. And his eyes are upon their ways.
Егда же разболится, да не надеется здрав быти, но падет недугом.
24 They are exalted. Yet a little while, and they are gone. Yea, they are brought low. They are taken out of the way as all others, and are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.
Многи бо озлоби высота его: увяде же яко злак в знои, или якоже клас от стебла сам отпад.
25 And if it be not so now, who will prove me a liar, and make my speech worth nothing?
Аще же ни, кто есть глаголяй лжу ми глаголати, и положит ни во чтоже глаголы моя?
