Job 24
1 “(Why does Almighty [God] not set a time when he will judge [evil people]?/I do not understand why Almighty [God does] not set a time when he will judge [evil people].) [RHQ] Those who know him never [RHQ] see him do that!
Zakaj, videč, da časi niso skriti pred Vsemogočnim, tisti, ki ga ne poznajo, vidijo njegove dni?
2 [Some evil people] remove the markers of boundaries of [other people’s] land, [in order to steal their land]; they seize/steal [other people’s] sheep and put them in their own pastures.
Nekateri odstranjujejo mejnike, na silo odvedejo trope in se hranijo z njimi.
3 [Some] (take away/steal) the donkeys that belong to orphans, and they take widow’s oxen to guarantee that the widows will pay back the money that they loaned to those widows.
Odvedli so osla osirotelemu, vdovinega vola so vzeli za jamstvo.
4 [Some] shove poor people off the road (OR, prevent poor people from (obtaining their rights/being treated justly)), and they force poor people to find places to hide from them.
Pomoči potrebnega odvrnejo iz poti. Revni na zemlji se skupaj skrivajo.
5 The result is that poor people have to search for food in the desert like wild donkeys do.
Glej, kakor divji osli v puščavi gredo naprej k svojemu delu; ob zori se dvigajo za plenom. Divjina zanje in za njihove otroke obrodi hrano.
6 The poor people harvest left-over grain in other people’s fields, and gather grapes from vineyards that belong to wicked men.
Žanjejo vsak svoje žito na polju, in zbirajo trgatev zlobnih.
7 During the night they have nothing to cover their bodies, nothing to keep them warm.
Nagim povzročajo, da prenočujejo brez oblačil, da v mrazu nimajo nobenega pokrivala.
8 When it rains on the mountains, the poor people become very wet, so they huddle under the rock ledges to be protected [from the rain].
Mokri so od nalivov z gora in se oklepajo skale v želji po zatočišču.
9 [Some evil men] snatch infants away from their widowed mothers [SYN], and they say ‘I will return your babies to you when you repay the money that I lent to you.’
Siroto trgajo od prsi in jemljejo jamstvo revnemu.
10 But the poor people walk around with no clothes on; they are hungry while they are working to carry [other people’s] bundles of grain [to the places where their grain will be threshed].
Povzročajo mu, da hodi nag, brez obleke in jemljejo snop pred lačnim,
11 Poor people press olives to make [olive] oil; they tread on grapes [to make juice for wine], but [they are not allowed to drink any of it when] they become thirsty.
ki dela olje znotraj njihovih zidov in mendra njihove vinske stiskalnice in trpi žejo.
12 In the cities, people who are wounded and dying cry out [to God for help], but God does not heed their prayers.
Iz mesta stokajo ljudje in duša ranjenega vpije, vendar Bog nanje ne polaga nespametnosti.
13 Some wicked people avoid the light [because they do evil things in the dark]; they do not walk on roads that are lighted.
Oni so izmed tistih, ki se upirajo svetlobi. Ne poznajo njenih poti niti ne ostajajo na njenih stezah.
14 Murderers steal things during the night, and then they arise before dawn in order that they may [go out again and] kill needy [DOU] people.
Morilec vstaja s svetlobo, ubija uboge in pomoči potrebne in v noči je kakor tat.
15 Those who want to commit adultery wait for twilight/evening; they say ‘I do not want anyone to see me,’ so they keep their faces covered.
Tudi oko zakonolomca čaka na mrak, rekoč: ›Nobeno oko me ne bo videlo‹ in skriva svoj obraz.
16 It is during the night that robbers break into houses [to steal things], but during the day they hide because they want to avoid [being seen in] the light.
V temi kopljejo skozi hiše, ki so si jih označili podnevi; oni ne poznajo svetlobe.
17 All of those [people] want to do their evil things at night, not in the morning [when it is light], because they are not afraid of [the things that happen during the] night that terrify others.”
Kajti jutro jim je celo kakor senca smrti. Če jih kdo prepozna, so v strahotah smrtne sence.
18 “[But it is wicked people] who are swept/carried away by floods, and God curses the land that they own, and no one goes to work in their vineyards.
Nagel je kakor vode. Njihov delež je preklet na zemlji. Ne gleda poti v vinograde.
19 Just like the snow melts away when it is hot and there is no rain, those who have sinned disappear into the place where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
Suša in vročina použijeta snežne vode; tako grob tiste, ki so grešili. (Sheol h7585)
20 Not even their mothers remember them now; wicked people are destroyed like trees that are cut down, and maggots eat their corpses.
Maternica ga bo pozabila, ličinka se bo medéno hranila na njem. Ne bo se ga več spominjalo in zlobnost bo zlomljena kakor drevo.
21 They mistreat women who have been unable to give birth to children and women who no longer have children [to take care of them], and they never do good things for widows.
Z jalovo, ki ne rojeva, postopa hudobno in ne dela dobrega vdovi.
22 But God, by his power, gets rid of mighty/influential people. God acts and causes the wicked people to die.
S svojo močjo priteguje tudi mogočne. On vstaja in noben človek ni prepričan v življenje.
23 God allows them to think that they are secure and safe, but he is watching [MTY] them all the time.
Čeprav mu je dano, da bi bil na varnem, kjer počiva, so vendar njegove oči na njihovih poteh.
24 They prosper for a little while, and then [suddenly] they are gone; they disappear like weeds wither and die; they are like [SIM] stalks of grain that have been cut off.
Povišani so za malo časa, toda izginejo in so ponižani. Vzeti so iz poti kakor vsi drugi in odsekani kakor vrhovi žitnega klasja.
25 If this is not true, is there [RHQ] anyone who will show that I am a liar and prove that what I have said is not true?”
Če ne bi bilo to sedaj tako, kdo me bo naredil za lažnivca in moj govor naredil brez vrednosti?«
