Job 24
Biblija: suvremeni hrvatski prijevod
24 Zašto Svemoćni ne odredi kad je dan suda?
Zašto oni koji ga znaju ne vide da presuđuje?
2 Nepošteni pomiču međe[a] i otimaju zemlju.
Kradu stada i vode ih na svoje pašnjake.
3 Odvode magarca koji pripada siročadi
i udovici uzimaju vola kao zalog.
4 Bijednika silom odguruju sa staze,
od njih se skriva sva sirotinja zemlje.
5 Poput divljih magaraca u pustinji,
sirotinja ondje traži hranu za djecu svoju.
6 Zrnje sakupljaju po tuđim njivama
i ostatke po vinogradima opakih.
7 Noć provode goli jer nemaju odjeće,
niti čime bi se pokrili na hladnoći.
8 Pokisli od planinskog pljuska,
stišću se uz stijene jer nemaju zaklona.
9 Zli otimaju dijete s grudi udovice,
sirotinjsko dijete uzimaju kao zalog.
10 Sirotinja ide gola jer nema odjeće,
nosi snopove žita, a gladna ostaje.
11 Tiješte ulje maslina za zlikovce,
gnječe grožđe za vino, a žedni ostaju.
12 Iz grada dopire jecanje ljudi
i ranjenici zapomažu,
a Bog se na sve to oglušuje.
13 Ima ih koji se bune protiv svjetlosti,
koji ne poznaju njene putove,
niti se njenih drže staza.
14 Ubojica ustaje pred zoru
da ubije siromaha i bijednika,
a noću ide u krađu.
15 Preljubnik čeka na sumrak,
misli da ga nitko neće vidjeti,
a potom i lice zaklanja.
16 Po mraku provaljuju u kuće,
a danju se pažljivo skrivaju
jer žele izbjeći svjetlo.
17 Najdublja tama njihovo je jutro,
prijatelji su užasima tame.
18 Ti kažeš:[b] »Oni su tek pjena na površini vode.
Njihova je zemlja prokleta
pa nitko ne ide u njihove vinograde.
19 Kao što žega i suša tope snijeg,
tako i smrt[c] odnosi grešnike.
20 Zaboravlja ih utroba koja ih je rodila,
a crv se njima sladi.
Zlih se više nitko ne sjeća,
skršeni su kao drvo.
21 Zlostavljaju žene koje nemaju djece da ih zaštite,
a udovicama ne čine dobro.
22 Ali Bog svojom snagom uklanja moćne—
ako i jesu na vlasti, život im je neizvjestan.
23 Mogu se uljuljkati u sigurnost,
ali Bog motri njihove putove.
24 Nakratko uspijevaju, a onda nestanu,
padaju kao cvijeće koje vene,
odsječeni su kao klasje.«
25 Ako nije tako, tko će dokazati da lažem?
Tko može opovrgnuti moje riječi?

Job antwoordt Elifaz (vervolg)
24 Waarom heeft de Almachtige God
geen vaste dagen waarop Hij rechtspreekt?
Waarom zien de mensen die Hem kennen niets van zijn rechtspraak?
2 Sommige mensen verzetten de grenspalen van hun gebied.
Zo stelen ze grond van anderen en maken hun eigen gebied groter.
Anderen stelen vee en hoeden dat voor zichzelf.
3 Ze pakken arme weeskinderen hun ezel af, als onderpand.
Ze nemen een weduwe de koe af die ze zelf nodig had.
4 De arme mensen worden ruw door hen van de weg geduwd,
zodat ze zich uit angst voor hen verbergen.
5 Als wilde ezels moeten ze in de woestijn naar eten zoeken.
Op de steppe zoeken ze eten voor hun kinderen.
6 Ze zoeken in de velden naar iets eetbaars
en in de wijngaarden van slechte mensen
zoeken ze naar achtergebleven druiven.
7 Ze overnachten in te dunne kleren.
Ze hebben geen deken als het koud is.
8 In de bergen worden ze drijfnat van de regen.
Omdat ze geen dak boven hun hoofd hebben,
kruipen ze dicht tegen een rots aan.
9 Er zijn mensen die kleine kinderen bij hun moeder weghalen.
Ze nemen hen mee als slaaf.
Ze nemen een onderpand van arme mensen.
10 Ze sturen mensen die geen kleren hebben weg,
zonder kleren aan hen te geven.
Ze laten hun graan oogsten door mensen die zelf honger hebben.
11 Ze laten hun olijf-olie door arme mensen uitpersen.
Ze laten hun druiven persen door mensen die zelf hevige dorst hebben.
12 Uit de stad klinkt het gekreun van stervende mensen.
Gewonden roepen er om hulp.
Maar God lijkt er niets aan te doen.
13 Er wonen schurken.
Ze houden zich alleen maar bezig met slechte dingen
en doen nooit iets goeds of eerlijks.
14 Vlak voor het licht wordt, gaan de moordenaars op pad
om arme mensen te vermoorden. 's Nachts gaan ze uit stelen.
15 Andere mannen zijn ontrouw aan hun eigen vrouw.
Ze wachten op het schemerdonker om niet herkend te worden,
slaan een doek om hun gezicht en gaan naar een andere vrouw.
16 Inbrekers plegen 's nachts inbraken in de huizen
die ze overdag alvast hebben uitgezocht.
Ze willen niets van het daglicht weten.
17 Want ze zijn bang herkend en gedood te worden.
Het daglicht is voor hen levensgevaarlijk.
18 Hun leven gaat voorbij als een snelstromende rivier.
Hun akkers zijn vervloekt
en niemand wil in hun wijngaarden werken.
19 Zoals in de zomer de droogte en de hitte het smeltwater doen verdwijnen,
zo slokt het dodenrijk de slechte mensen op.
20 Zelfs hun moeder vergeet hen.
De wormen eten zich vol aan hen en niemand denkt nog aan hen.
Net zoals een boom plotseling afbreekt in een storm,
zo komt er aan al hun slechte daden plotseling een eind.
21 Ze nemen hulpeloze vrouwen alles af.
Voor arme weduwen willen ze niets doen.
22 Ze kunnen zelfs machtige mensen laten doen wat zíj willen.
Niemand is zijn leven zeker.
23 Maar God laat hen met rust, zodat ze denken dat ze veilig zijn.
Toch blijft God letten op alles wat ze doen.
24 Een korte tijd zijn ze machtig.
Maar plotseling zijn ze er niet meer,
net als alle andere mensen.
Ze worden door de dood weggemaaid, afgesneden als graan.
25 Wie durft te beweren dat dit niet waar is?
Wie durft te zeggen dat ik lieg?
Job 24
New International Version
Job 24
New International Version
24 “Why does the Almighty not set times(A) for judgment?(B)
Why must those who know him look in vain for such days?(C)
2 There are those who move boundary stones;(D)
they pasture flocks they have stolen.(E)
3 They drive away the orphan’s donkey
and take the widow’s ox in pledge.(F)
4 They thrust the needy(G) from the path
and force all the poor(H) of the land into hiding.(I)
5 Like wild donkeys(J) in the desert,
the poor go about their labor(K) of foraging food;
the wasteland(L) provides food for their children.
6 They gather fodder(M) in the fields
and glean in the vineyards(N) of the wicked.(O)
7 Lacking clothes, they spend the night naked;
they have nothing to cover themselves in the cold.(P)
8 They are drenched(Q) by mountain rains
and hug(R) the rocks for lack of shelter.(S)
9 The fatherless(T) child is snatched(U) from the breast;
the infant of the poor is seized(V) for a debt.(W)
10 Lacking clothes, they go about naked;(X)
they carry the sheaves,(Y) but still go hungry.
11 They crush olives among the terraces[a];
they tread the winepresses,(Z) yet suffer thirst.(AA)
12 The groans of the dying rise from the city,
and the souls of the wounded cry out for help.(AB)
But God charges no one with wrongdoing.(AC)
13 “There are those who rebel against the light,(AD)
who do not know its ways
or stay in its paths.(AE)
14 When daylight is gone, the murderer rises up,
kills(AF) the poor and needy,(AG)
and in the night steals forth like a thief.(AH)
15 The eye of the adulterer(AI) watches for dusk;(AJ)
he thinks, ‘No eye will see me,’(AK)
and he keeps his face concealed.
16 In the dark, thieves break into houses,(AL)
but by day they shut themselves in;
they want nothing to do with the light.(AM)
17 For all of them, midnight is their morning;
they make friends with the terrors(AN) of darkness.(AO)
18 “Yet they are foam(AP) on the surface of the water;(AQ)
their portion of the land is cursed,(AR)
so that no one goes to the vineyards.(AS)
19 As heat and drought snatch away the melted snow,(AT)
so the grave(AU) snatches away those who have sinned.
20 The womb forgets them,
the worm(AV) feasts on them;(AW)
the wicked are no longer remembered(AX)
but are broken like a tree.(AY)
21 They prey on the barren and childless woman,
and to the widow they show no kindness.(AZ)
22 But God drags away the mighty by his power;(BA)
though they become established,(BB) they have no assurance of life.(BC)
23 He may let them rest in a feeling of security,(BD)
but his eyes(BE) are on their ways.(BF)
24 For a little while they are exalted, and then they are gone;(BG)
they are brought low and gathered up like all others;(BH)
they are cut off like heads of grain.(BI)
25 “If this is not so, who can prove me false
and reduce my words to nothing?”(BJ)

King James Version
Job 24
King James Version
24 Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?
2 Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.
3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.
4 They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
5 Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.
6 They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
10 They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
11 Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
12 Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.
13 They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
14 The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.
16 In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.
17 For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
18 He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.
19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned.
20 The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.
21 He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.
22 He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.
23 Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways.
24 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
25 And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?

Job Complains of Violence on the Earth
2 “Some remove (C)landmarks;
They seize flocks violently and feed on them;
3 They drive away the donkey of the fatherless;
They (D)take the widow’s ox as a pledge.
4 They push the needy off the road;
All the (E)poor of the land are forced to hide.
5 Indeed, like wild donkeys in the desert,
They go out to their work, searching for food.
The wilderness yields food for them and for their children.
6 They gather their fodder in the field
And glean in the vineyard of the wicked.
7 They (F)spend the night naked, without clothing,
And have no covering in the cold.
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains,
And (G)huddle around the rock for want of shelter.
9 “Some snatch the fatherless from the breast,
And take a pledge from the poor.
10 They cause the poor to go naked, without (H)clothing;
And they take away the sheaves from the hungry.
11 They press out oil within their walls,
And tread winepresses, yet suffer thirst.
12 The dying groan in the city,
And the souls of the wounded cry out;
Yet God does not charge them with wrong.
13 “There are those who rebel against the light;
They do not know its ways
Nor abide in its paths.
14 (I)The murderer rises with the light;
He kills the poor and needy;
And in the night he is like a thief.
15 (J)The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight,
(K)Saying, ‘No eye will see me’;
And he [a]disguises his face.
16 In the dark they break into houses
Which they marked for themselves in the daytime;
(L)They do not know the light.
17 For the morning is the same to them as the shadow of death;
If someone recognizes them,
They are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
18 “They should be swift on the face of the waters,
Their portion should be cursed in the earth,
So that no one would turn into the way of their vineyards.
19 As drought and heat [b]consume the snow waters,
So [c]the grave consumes those who have sinned.
20 The womb should forget him,
The worm should feed sweetly on him;
(M)He should be remembered no more,
And wickedness should be broken like a tree.
21 For he [d]preys on the barren who do not bear,
And does no good for the widow.
22 “But God draws the mighty away with His power;
He rises up, but no man is sure of life.
23 He gives them security, and they rely on it;
Yet (N)His eyes are on their ways.
24 They are exalted for a little while,
Then they are gone.
They are brought low;
They are [e]taken out of the way like all others;
They dry out like the heads of grain.
25 “Now if it is not so, who will prove me a liar,
And make my speech worth nothing?”
