Job 24
Bíblia Livre
1Por que os tempos não são marcados pelo Todo-Poderoso? Por que os que o conhecem não veem seus dias?
2Há os que mudam os limites de lugar, roubam rebanhos, e os apascentam.
3Levam o asno do órfão; penhoram o boi da viúva.
4Desviam do caminho aos necessitados; os pobres da terra juntos se escondem.
5Eis que como asnos selvagens no deserto eles saem a seu trabalho buscando insistentemente por comida; o deserto dá alimento a ele e a seus filhos.
6No campo colhem sua forragem, e vindimam a vinha do perverso.
7Passam a noite nus, por falta de roupa; sem terem coberta contra o frio.
8Pelas correntes das montanhas são molhados e, não tendo abrigo, abraçam-se às rochas.
9Há os que arrancam ao órfão do peito, e do pobre tomam penhor.
10Ao nus fazem andar sem vestes, e fazem os famintos carregarem feixes.
11Entre suas paredes espremem o azeite; pisam nas prensas de uvas, e ainda têm sede.
12Desde a cidade as pessoas gemem, e as almas dos feridos clamam; Mas Deus não dá atenção ao erro.
13Há os que se opõem à luz; não conhecem seus caminhos, nem permanecem em suas veredas.
14De manhã o homicida se levanta, mata ao pobre e ao necessitado, e de noite ele age como ladrão.
15O olho do adúltero aguarda o crepúsculo, dizendo: Olho nenhum me verá; E esconde seu rosto.
16Nas trevas vasculham as casas, de dia eles se trancam; não conhecem a luz.
17Porque a manhã é para todos eles como sombra de morte; pois são conhecidos dos pavores de sombra de morte.
18Ele é ligeiro sobre a superfície das águas; maldita é sua porção sobre a terra; não se vira para o caminho das vinhas.
19A seca e o calor desfazem as águas da neve; assim faz o Xeol aos que pecaram.
20A mãe se esquecerá dele; doce será para os vermes; nunca mais haverá memória dele , e a perversidade será quebrada como um árvore.
21Aflige à mulher estéril, que não dá à luz; e nenhum bem faz à viúva.
22Mas Deus arranca aos poderosos com seu poder; quando Deus se levanta, não há vida segura.
23Se ele lhes dá descanso, nisso confiam; mas os olhos de Deus estão postos nos caminhos deles.
24São exaltados por um pouco de tempo ,mas logo desaparecem; são abatidos, encerrados como todos, e cortados como cabeças das espigas.
25Se não é assim, quem me desmentirá, ou anulará minhas palavras?
Reina-Valera 1909
1PUESTO que no son ocultos los tiempos al Todopoderoso, ¿por qué los que le conocen no ven sus días?
2Traspasan los términos, roban los ganados, y apaciéntanlos.
3Llévanse el asno de los huérfanos; prenden el buey de la viuda.
4Hacen apartar del camino á los menesterosos: y todos los pobres de la tierra se esconden.
5He aquí, como asnos monteses en el desierto, salen á su obra madrugando para robar; el desierto es mantenimiento de sus hijos.
6En el campo siegan su pasto, y los impíos vendimian la viña ajena.
7Al desnudo hacen dormir sin ropa, y que en el frío no tenga cobertura.
8Con las avenidas de los montes se mojan, y abrazan las peñas sin tener abrigo.
9Quitan el pecho á los huérfanos, y de sobre el pobre toman la prenda.
10Al desnudo hacen andar sin vestido, y á los hambrientos quitan los hacecillos.
11De dentro de sus paredes exprimen el aceite, pisan los lagares, y mueren de sed.
12De la ciudad gimen los hombres, y claman las almas de los heridos de muerte: mas Dios no puso estorbo.
13Ellos son los que, rebeldes á la luz, nunca conocieron sus caminos, ni estuvieron en sus veredas.
14A la luz se levanta el matador, mata al pobre y al necesitado, y de noche es como ladrón.
15El ojo del adúltero está aguardando la noche, diciendo: No me verá nadie: y esconde su rostro.
16En las tinieblas minan las casas, que de día para sí señalaron; no conocen la luz.
17Porque la mañana es á todos ellos como sombra de muerte; si son conocidos, terrores de sombra de muerte los toman.
18Son instables más que la superficie de las aguas; su porción es maldita en la tierra; no andarán por el camino de las viñas.
19La sequía y el calor arrebatan las aguas de la nieve; y el sepulcro á los pecadores.
20Olvidaráse de ellos el seno materno; de ellos sentirán los gusanos dulzura; nunca más habrá de ellos memoria, y como un árbol serán los impíos quebrantados.
21A la mujer estéril que no paría, afligió; y á la viuda nunca hizo bien.
22Mas á los fuertes adelantó con su poder: levantóse, y no se da por segura la vida.
23Le dieron á crédito, y se afirmó: sus ojos están sobre los caminos de ellos.
24Fueron ensalzados por un poco, mas desaparecen, y son abatidos como cada cual: serán encerrados, y cortados como cabezas de espigas.
25Y si no, ¿quién me desmentirá ahora, ó reducirá á nada mis palabras?
King James Version
1Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?
2Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.
3They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
4They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
5Behold, 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.
6They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
7They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.
8They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
9They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
10They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
11Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
12Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.
13They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
14The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
15The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.
16In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.
17For 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.
18He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.
19Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned.
20The 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.
21He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.
22He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.
23Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways.
24They 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.
25And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
World English Bible
1“Why aren’t times laid up by the Almighty? Why don’t those who know him see his days?
2There are people who remove the landmarks. They violently take away flocks, and feed them.
3They drive away the donkey of the fatherless, and they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
4They turn the needy out of the way. The poor of the earth all hide themselves.
5Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert, they go out to their work, seeking diligently for food. The wilderness yields them bread for their children.
6They cut their food in the field. They glean the vineyard of the wicked.
7They lie all night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold.
8They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for lack of a shelter.
9There are those who pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor,
10so that they go around naked without clothing. Being hungry, they carry the sheaves.
11They make oil within the walls of these men. They tread wine presses, and suffer thirst.
12From out of the populous city, men groan. The soul of the wounded cries out, yet God doesn’t regard the folly.
13“These are of those who rebel against the light. They don’t know its ways, nor stay in its paths.
14The murderer rises with the light. He kills the poor and needy. In the night he is like a thief.
15The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, ‘No eye will see me.’ He disguises his face.
16In the dark they dig through houses. They shut themselves up in the daytime. They don’t know the light.
17For the morning is to all of them like thick darkness, for they know the terrors of the thick darkness.
18“They are foam on the surface of the waters. Their portion is cursed in the earth. They don’t turn into the way of the vineyards.
19Drought and heat consume the snow waters, so does Sheol those who have sinned.
20The womb will forget him. The worm will feed sweetly on him. He will be no more remembered. Unrighteousness will be broken as a tree.
21He devours the barren who don’t bear. He shows no kindness to the widow.
22Yet God preserves the mighty by his power. He rises up who has no assurance of life.
23God gives them security, and they rest in it. His eyes are on their ways.
24They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone. Yes, 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.
25If it isn’t so now, who will prove me a liar, and make my speech worth nothing?”
