Job 33
1 Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, And hearken to all my words.
“Malgre sa, koulye a, Job, souple tande mesaj mwen an e koute tout pawòl mwen yo.
2 Behold now, I have opened my mouth; My tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
Gade byen, se koulye a mwen ouvri bouch mwen. Se lang nan bouch mwen ki pale.
3 My words [shall utter] the uprightness of my heart; And that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.
Pawòl mwen yo sòti nan ladwati kè mwen, e lèv mwen pale soti yon kè ki renmen verite a.
4 The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Almighty giveth me life.
Se Lespri Bondye ki te fè m, e souf Toupwisan an ki ban m lavi.
5 If thou canst, answer thou me; Set [thy words] in order before me, stand forth.
Di m se pa sa, si ou kapab. Alinye pawòl ou yo an lòd devan m, e kanpe.
6 Behold, I am toward God even as thou art: I also am formed out of the clay.
Men gade byen, mwen se moun Bondye menm jan tankou ou. Mwen menm tou te fèt ak ajil la.
7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, Neither shall my pressure be heavy upon thee.
Gade byen, se pa okenn krent mwen gen, ki ta bay ou laperèz, ni se pa akoz fòs pwa balans mwen an, ke ou ta twouve chaj la lou.
8 Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, And I have heard the voice of [thy] words, [saying],
“Anverite, ou te pale kote pou m ta tande, e mwen te tande son a pawòl ou yo.
9 I am clean, without transgression; I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me:
Job te di: ‘Mwen san tach, san transgresyon; mwen inosan e nanpwen koupabilite nan mwen.
10 Behold, he findeth occasions against me, He counteth me for his enemy;
Gade byen, Li envante pretèks kont mwen; Li kontwole m tankou lènmi.
11 He putteth my feet in the stocks, He marketh all my paths.
Li mete pye mwen nan sèp; Li veye tout chemen mwen yo.’
12 Behold, I will answer thee, in this thou art not just; For God is greater than man.
“Gade byen Job, kite mwen di ou, ou pa gen rezon nan sa, paske Bondye pi gran ke lòm.
13 Why dost thou strive against him, For that he giveth not account of any of his matters?
Poukisa ou plenyen kont Li ke Li pa eksplike ou tout zak Li yo?
14 For God speaketh once, Yea twice, [though man] regardeth it not.
Anverite, Bondye pale yon fwa, oswa de fwa, men pèsòn pa okipe sa.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falleth upon men, In slumberings upon the bed;
Nan yon rèv, yon vizyon nan nwit la, lè dòmi pwofon kon tonbe sou lòm, pandan yo nan somèy sou kabann yo,
16 Then he openeth the ears of men, And sealeth their instruction,
konsa, Li ouvri zòrèy a lòm e mete so sou enstriksyon yo,
17 That he may withdraw man [from his] purpose, And hide pride from man;
pou Li kapab vire lòm pou chanje kondwit li e anpeche li fè ògèy.
18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, And his life from perishing by the sword.
Konsa, Li pwoteje nanm li pou l pa rive nan fòs la e lavi li pou l pa lantre nan Sejou Lanmò a.
19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, And with continual strife in his bones;
“Lòm, anplis, resevwa chatiman doulè sou kabann li; avèk plent san rete jis rive nan zo li;
20 So that his life abhorreth bread, And his soul dainty food.
jiskaske lavi li vin rayi pen, e nanm li, manje ke li te pi renmen an.
21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; And his bones that were not seen stick out.
Chè li epwize vin disparèt pou moun pa wè l e zo li yo ki pa te konn vizib pouse vin parèt.
22 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit, And his life to the destroyers.
Nanm li vin rale toupre fòs lanmò a e lavi li pwoche sila kap detwi yo.
23 If there be with him an angel, An interpreter, one among a thousand, To show unto man what is right for him;
“Si gen yon zanj pou ta entèsede pou li, se tankou youn nan yon milye, ki pou ta fè yon moun sonje sa k ap bon pou li,
24 Then [God] is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.
konsa, Bondye fè l gras. Li di l: ‘Delivre li pou l pa rive nan fòs lanmò a, Mwen te twouve yon racha.’
25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s; He returneth to the days of his youth.
Kite chè li vin pi fre ke li te ye nan jenès li. Kite li retoune nan jou a fòs jenès li yo.
26 He prayeth unto God, and he is favorable unto him, So that he seeth his face with joy: And he restoreth unto man his righteousness.
Konsa, li va priye a Bondye, e Li va aksepte li, pou l kab wè figi L plèn ak jwa. Se konsa, Li restore ladwati a lòm.
27 He singeth before men, and saith, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, And it profited me not:
Li va chante devan lèzòm. Li va di: “Mwen te peche, mwen te konwonpi sa ki dwat, e li pa t bon pou mwen.
28 He hath redeemed my soul from going into the pit, And my life shall behold the light.
Li te rachte nanm mwen pou l pa rive nan fòs lanmò a, e lavi m va wè limyè a.’
29 Lo, all these things doth God work, Twice, [yea] thrice, with a man,
“Gade byen, Bondye konn fè tout bagay sa yo de fwa, menm twa fwa ak yon nonm,
30 To bring back his soul from the pit, That he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
pou mennen nanm li fè l sòti kite fòs lanmò a, pou l kab eklèsi ak limyè lavi a.
31 Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: Hold thy peace, and I will speak.
Prete atansyon, O Job, koute m byen; rete an silans e kite mwen pale.
32 If thou hast anything to say, answer me: Speak, for I desire to justify thee.
Si ou gen yon bagay pou di, alò, reponn mwen; pale, paske mwen vle ba ou rezon.
33 If not, hearken thou unto me: Hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom.
Men si non, koute mwen; rete an silans, e mwen va montre ou sajès.”
