Job 27
1 Moreouer Iob proceeded and continued his parable, saying,
Tete Hiob yi eƒe nuƒoa dzi be,
2 The liuing God hath taken away my iudgement: for the Almightie hath put my soule in bitternesse.
“Meta Mawu si gbe afiatsotso nam la ƒe agbe kple Ŋusẽkatãtɔ, ame si do vevesese na nye luʋɔ be,
3 Yet so long as my breath is in me, and the Spirit of God in my nostrels,
zi ale si agbe le menye, Mawu ƒe gbɔgbɔ le nye ŋɔti me la,
4 My lips surely shall speake no wickednesse, and my tongue shall vtter no deceite.
nye nuyi magblɔ nya vɔ̃ɖi o eye nye aɖe magblɔ beblenya aɖeke o.
5 God forbid, that I should iustifie you: vntill I dye, I will neuer take away mine innocencie from my selfe.
Nyemalɔ̃ gbeɖe be tɔwò dzɔ o va se ɖe esi maku la, nyemasẽ nu le nye blibodede ŋu o.
6 I will keepe my righteousnesse, and wil not forsake it: mine heart shall not reprooue me of my dayes.
Malé nye dzɔdzɔenyenye me ɖe asi ɖaa eye nyemaɖe asi le eŋu akpɔ o. Zi ale si mele agbe la, nye dzitsinya mado vlom o.
7 Mine enemie shall be as the wicked, and he that riseth against me, as the vnrighteous.
“Nye futɔwo nenɔ abe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ene eye nye ketɔwo abe ame madzɔmadzɔwo ene!
8 For what hope hath the hypocrite when he hath heaped vp riches, if God take away his soule?
Elabena mɔkpɔkpɔ kae le ame vlo si ne wolãe ɖa eye Mawu ɖe eƒe agbe ɖa?
9 Will God heare his cry, when trouble commeth vpon him?
Ɖe Mawu ase eƒe ɣlidodo, ne eɖo xaxa mea?
10 Will he set his delight on the Almightie? will he call vpon God at all times?
Ɖe eƒe nu anyo Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la ŋua? Ɖe wòayɔ Mawu ɣe sia ɣia?
11 I will teache you what is in the hande of God, and I wil not conceale that which is with the Almightie.
“Mafia nu mi tso Mawu ƒe ŋusẽ ŋuti eye nyemaɣla Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la ƒe mɔwo ɖe mi o.
12 Beholde, all ye your selues haue seene it: why then doe you thus vanish in vanitie?
Miawo ŋutɔ miekpɔ esiawo katã. Ekema nu kae nye nuƒo manyatalenu gbogbo siawo?
13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of tyrants, which they shall receiue of the Almightie.
“Esia nye gome si Mawu ɖo ɖi na ame vɔ̃ɖiwo kple domenyinyi si ŋutasẽla xɔna tso Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la gbɔ.
14 If his children be in great nomber, the sworde shall destroy them, and his posteritie shall not be satisfied with bread.
Aleke ke viawo sɔ gbɔe hã la, woɖo wo ɖi na yi eye eƒe dzidzimeviwo makpɔ nu aɖu aɖi ƒo akpɔ gbeɖe o.
15 His remnant shall be buried in death, and his widowes shall not weepe.
Dɔvɔ̃ awu ame siwo susɔ nɛ eye woƒe ahosiwo mafa na wo o.
16 Though he shoulde heape vp siluer as the dust, and prepare rayment as the clay,
Togbɔ be eli kɔ klosalo abe ke ene, wòdo agba avɔ wòkɔ abe to ene hã la,
17 He may prepare it, but the iust shall put it on, and the innocent shall deuide the siluer.
ame dzɔdzɔewo ado nu siwo wòli kɔe eye ame maɖifɔwo ama eƒe klosalo.
18 He buildeth his house as the moth, and as a lodge that the watchman maketh.
Xɔ si wòtu la anɔ abe gbagblaʋui ƒe azi si wòƒo teti ko la ene eye wòanɔ abe zãɖialawo ƒe agbadɔ si wòwɔ la ene.
19 When the rich man sleepeth, he shall not be gathered to his fathers: they opened their eyes, and he was gone.
Emlɔ anyi abe hotsuitɔ ene gake esusɔ vie maganɔ nɛ nenema o elabena esi wòʋu eƒe ŋkuwo la, naneke megali o.
20 Terrours shall take him as waters, and a tempest shall cary him away by night.
Ŋɔdzi ƒona ɖe edzi abe tɔɖɔɖɔ ene eye ahom kplɔnɛ dzonae le zã me.
21 The East winde shall take him away, and he shall depart: and it shall hurle him out of his place.
Ɣedzeƒeya kɔe dzoe eye wòdzo, ale wòkplɔe ɖa le enɔƒe.
22 And God shall cast vpon him and not spare, though he would faine flee out of his hand.
Etsɔ eɖokui xlã ɖe edzi nublanuimakpɔmakpɔtɔe, esi wòsi le eƒe ŋusẽ nu afɔtsɔtsɔe.
23 Euery man shall clap their hands at him, and hisse at him out of their place.
Esi akpe ɖe eta fewuɖutɔe eye wònyae ɖa le enɔƒe.”
