Job 35
1 Moreover Elihu answered and said,
Konsa, Élihu te kontinye. Li te di:
2 Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?
“Èske ou sipoze ke ou ge dwa sa a? Èske ou ap di ‘Ladwati pa m nan depase sa k nan Bondye a?’
3 For thou hast asked of what profit it is unto thee: what do I gain more than if I had sinned?
Paske ou mande: ‘Ki avantaj sa ye pou ou? Ki pwofi m ap jwenn ki plis pase si m te fè peche?’
4 I will reply to thee in words, and to thy companions with thee.
Mwen va reponn ou, menm ak zanmi ou yo tou.
5 Look unto the heavens and see; and survey the skies: they are higher than thou.
Gade nan syèl yo pou wè; epi gade byen nan nwaj yo. Yo pi wo pase ou.
6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? If thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
Si ou te peche, kisa ou akonpli kont Li? Epi si transgresyon ou yo anpil, kisa ou fè Li?
7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou to him? or what doth he receive of thy hand?
Si ou jis, kisa ou ba Li, oswa kisa Li ta jwenn nan men ou?
8 Thy wickedness [may affect] a man as thou [art], and thy righteousness a son of man.
Mechanste ou ka donmaje yon nonm tankou ou menm, e ladwati ou gen benefis pou yon fis a lòm.
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry; they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty:
“Akoz fòs kantite opresyon yo, yo kriye fò. Yo kriye pou sekou akoz bra a pwisan an.
10 But none saith, Where is God my Maker, who giveth songs in the night,
Men pèsòn pa di: ‘Kote Bondye, Kreyatè mwen an, ki bay chan kè kontan yo pandan nwit lan,
11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowl of the heavens?
ki enstwi nou plis pase bèt latè yo, pou fè nou vin pi saj pase zwazo nan syèl yo?’
12 There they cry, and he answereth not, because of the pride of evil men.
La, yo kriye fò, men nanpwen repons akoz ògèy moun mechan yo.
13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
Anverite, Bondye p ap koute yon kri ki vid, ni Toupwisan an p ap okipe l.
14 Although thou sayest thou dost not see him, judgment is before him, therefore wait for him.
Konbyen anmwens, lè ou di ou pa wè Li. Ka a pase devan L, e fòk se Li ou tann!
15 But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, doth not [Job] know [his] great arrogancy?
Men koulye a, akoz Li pa t fè vizit nan kòlè Li, ni Li pa t apresye awogans,
16 For Job hath opened his mouth in vanity, and made words abundant without knowledge.
pou sa, Job ouvri bouch li an ven; li ogmante pawòl li yo san konesans.”
