Job 24

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 The times are not hidden from the Almighty; even those who know him, do not know his days.	1 لماذا اذ لم تختبئ الازمنة من القدير لا يرى عارفوه يومه.
2 Some have crossed the boundaries, plundered the flocks, and given them pasture.	2 ينقلون التخوم. يغتصبون قطيعا ويرعونه.
3 They have driven away the donkey of orphans, and have taken the cow from the widow as collateral.	3 يستاقون حمار اليتامى ويرتهنون ثور الارملة.
4 They have undermined the way of the poor, and have pressed together the meek of the earth.	4 يصدّون الفقراء عن الطريق. مساكين الارض يختبئون جميعا.
5 Others, like wild asses in the desert, go forth to their work; by watching for prey, they obtain bread for their children.	5 ها هم كالفراء في القفر يخرجون الى عملهم يبكرون للطعام. البادية لهم خبز لاولادهم.
6 They reap a field that is not their own, and they harvest a vineyard that they have taken by force.	6 في الحقل يحصدون علفهم ويعللون كرم الشرير.
7 They send men away naked, having taken the clothing of those who have no covering in the cold;	7 يبيتون عراة بلا لبس وليس لهم كسوة في البرد.
8 these are wet with the mountain rain, and, having no covering, they embrace the rocks.	8 يبتلّون من مطر الجبال ولعدم الملجإ يعتنقون الصخر
9 They have used violence to deprive orphans, and they have robbed the poor common people.	9 يخطفون اليتيم عن الثدي ومن المساكين يرتهنون.
10 From the naked and those who do not have enough clothing, and from the hungry, they have taken away sheaves of grain.	10 عراة يذهبون بلا لبس وجائعين يحملون حزما.
11 They take their midday rest among the stockpiles of those who, though they have trodden the winepresses, suffer thirst.	11 يعصرون الزيت داخل اسوارهم. يدوسون المعاصر ويعطشون.
12 In the cities, they caused the men to groan and the spirit of the wounded to cry out, and so God does not allow this to go unpunished.	12 من الوجع اناس يئنون ونفس الجرحى تستغيث والله لا ينتبه الى الظلم
13 They have been rebellious against the light; they have not known his ways, nor have they returned by his paths.	13 اولئك يكونون بين المتمردين على النور لا يعرفون طرقه ولا يلبثون في سبله.
14 The killer of men rises at first light; he executes the destitute and the poor, but, in truth, he is like a thief in the night.	14 مع النور يقوم القاتل يقتل المسكين والفقير وفي الليل يكون كاللص.
15 The eye of the adulterer waits for darkness, saying, “No eye will see me,” and he covers his face.	15 وعين الزاني تلاحظ العشاء. يقول لا تراقبني عين. فيجعل سترا على وجهه.
16 He passes through houses in the nighttime, just as they had agreed among themselves in the daytime; and they are ignorant of the light.	16 ينقبون البيوت في الظلام. في النهار يغلقون على انفسهم. لا يعرفون النور.
17 If sunrise should suddenly appear, it is treated by them like the shadow of death; and they walk in darkness, as if in light.	17 لانه سواء عليهم الصباح وظل الموت. لانهم يعلمون اهوال ظل الموت.
18 He is nimble on the surface of water. His place on land is to be accursed. May he not walk by way of the vineyards.	18 خفيف هو على وجه المياه. ملعون نصيبهم في الارض. لا يتوجه الى طريق الكروم.
19 May he cross from the snowy waters to excessive heat, and his sin, all the way to hell.	19 القحط والقيظ يذهبان بمياه الثلج. كذا الهاوية بالذين اخطأوا.
20 Let mercy forget him. His charm is worms. Let him not be remembered, but instead be broken like an unfruitful tree.	20 تنساه الرحم يستحليه الدود. لا يذكر بعد وينكسر الاثيم كشجرة.
21 For he has fed on the barren, who does not bear fruit, and he has not done good to the widow.	21 يسيء الى العاقر التي لم تلد ولا يحسن الى الارملة.
22 He has pulled down the strong by his strength, and, when he stands up, he will not have trust in his life.	22 يمسك الاعزاء بقوته. يقوم فلا يأمن احد بحياته.
23 God has given him a place for repentance, and he abuses it with arrogance, but his eyes are upon his ways.	23 يعطيه طمأنينة فيتوكل ولكن عيناه على طرقهم.
24 They are lifted up for a little while, but they will not continue, and they will be brought low, just like all things, and they will be taken away, and, like the tops of the ears of grain, they will be crushed.	24 يترفعون قليلا ثم لا يكونون ويحطون. كالكل يجمعون وكرأس السنبلة يقطعون.
25 But, if this is not so, who is able to prove to me that I have lied and to place my words before God?	25 وان لم يكن كذا فمن يكذبني ويجعل كلامي لا شيئا
