Job 35
1 Elihu spake moreouer, and said,
Tete Elihu yi eƒe nuƒoa dzi be,
2 Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?
“Èsusu be esia le dzɔdzɔea? Ègblɔ be, ‘Mawu atso afia nam’
3 For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne?
gake nèhele ebiam be, ‘Viɖe ka wònye nam eye nu ka makpɔ le eme ne nyemewɔ nu vɔ̃ o?’
4 Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee.
“Medi be maɖo eŋu na wò kple xɔ̃wò siwo le gbɔwò.
5 Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou.
Wu mo dzi nàkpɔ dziƒo ɖa, le ŋku ɖe lilikpo siwo le dziƒo boo le tawòme
6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?
Ne èwɔ nu vɔ̃ la, nu ka wòawɔ le eŋu? Ne wò nu vɔ̃wo sɔ gbɔ fũu la, nu ka wòagblẽ le eŋu?
7 If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand?
Ne ènye dzɔdzɔetɔ la, nu kae nètsɔ nɛ, alo nu kae wòxɔ tso asiwò me?
8 Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man.
Ame abe wò ene ko dzie wò vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi awɔ dɔ ɖo eye amegbetɔviwo ko dzie wò dzɔdzɔenyenye awɔ dɔ ɖo.
9 They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie.
“Amewo le ɣli dom le teteɖeanyi ƒe agba kpekpewo te, wole kuku ɖem be woana gbɔdzɔe yewo tso Ŋusẽtɔ la ƒe alɔ sesẽ te
10 But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?
gake ɖeke mebia be, ‘Afi ka Mawu, nye Wɔla, ame si nana kafuhawo ɖina le zã me,
11 Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen.
ame si fiaa nu geɖewo mí, wu gbemelã siwo le anyigba dzi eye wòwɔ mí nunyalawoe wu dziƒoxeviwo la le?’
12 Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not.
Ne amewo le ɣli dom nɛ la, metɔna o, le ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe ɖokuiŋudzedze ta.
13 Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.
Vavã, Mawu meɖo to woƒe kokoƒoƒo gbɔlo la o eye Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la do toku wo.
14 Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.
Ne meɖo to emawo o la, aleke wòaɖo to esia ya boŋ esi nègblɔ be, mele ekpɔm o, wò nya la le eƒe asi me, eye ele be nàlalae.
15 But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,
Gawu la, egblɔ be eƒe dziku mehea to na ame gbeɖe o eye menyea kɔ kpɔa vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi gɔ̃ hã o.
16 Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.
Ale Hiob ke eƒe nu hegblɔ nya dzodzrowo eye wòlɔ nya siwo me gɔmesese aɖeke mele o la kɔ ɖi gleglegle.”
