Job 36
1 Elihu also proceeded and sayde,
Elihu yi edzi be,
2 Suffer me a litle, and I will instruct thee: for I haue yet to speake on Gods behalfe.
“Kpɔ nye asinu vie eye maɖee afia wò be nya geɖewo li magblɔ ɖe Mawu nu.
3 I will fetche my knowledge afarre off, and will attribute righteousnes vnto my Maker.
Mexɔa nye gɔmesese tso afi aɖeke ɖaa, eya ta matso na nye Wɔla.
4 For truely my wordes shall not be false, and he that is perfect in knowledge, speaketh with thee.
Kakaɖedzi nenɔ asiwò be, nye nyawo menye aʋatso o eya ta ame si si gɔmesese deto le lae le gbɔwò.
5 Behold, the mighty God casteth away none that is mighty and valiant of courage.
“Mawu nye Ŋusẽtɔ, etri akɔ eye meʋãna le eƒe taɖodzinu me o gake medoa vlo amewo o.
6 He mainteineth not the wicked, but he giueth iudgement to the afflicted.
Menana ame vɔ̃ɖiwo nɔa agbe o, ke boŋ ekpɔa hiãtɔwo ƒe hiahiãwo gbɔ na wo.
7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous, but they are with Kings in ye throne, where he placeth them for euer: thus they are exalted.
Meɖea eƒe ŋku ɖa le ame dzɔdzɔewo ŋu o, eɖoa wo zi dzi ɖe fiawo xa eye wòdoa wo ɖe dzi tegbetegbe.
8 And if they bee bound in fetters and tyed with the cordes of affliction,
Ke ne wode ga amewo, hebla wo sesĩe kple hiã ƒe kawo la,
9 Then will he shewe them their worke and their sinnes, because they haue bene proude.
egblɔa nu si wowɔ la na wo, esi nye be wowɔ nu vɔ̃ dadatɔe.
10 He openeth also their eare to discipline, and commandeth them that they returne from iniquity.
Enana woɖoa to ɖɔɖɔɖo eye wòɖea gbe na wo be woatrɔ le woƒe nu vɔ̃ɖi la me.
11 If they obey and serue him, they shall end their dayes in prosperity, and their yeres in pleasures.
Ne woɖo to eye wosubɔe la, woanɔ woƒe agbemeŋkeke mamlɛawo le nukpɔkpɔ me eye woƒe ƒewo ayɔ fũu kple dzidzeme.
12 But if they wil not obey, they shall passe by the sworde, and perish without knowledge.
Ke ne womeɖo to o la, yi atsrɔ̃ wo eye woaku numanyamanyae.
13 But the hypocrites of heart increase the wrath: for they call not when he bindeth them.
“Fuléle le dzi me na Mawumavɔ̃lawo, ne ede kunyowu woƒe afɔwo hã la, womedoa ɣli be woaxɔ na yewo o.
14 Their soule dyeth in youth, and their life among the whoremongers.
Wokuna le woƒe ɖekakpui dzodzoe me, ɖe ŋutsu gbolowɔla siwo nɔa trɔ̃xɔwo me la dome.
15 He deliuereth the poore in his affliction, and openeth their eare in trouble.
Ke eɖea ame siwo le fu kpem la le woƒe fukpekpewo me eye wòƒoa nu na wo le woƒe xaxa me.
16 Euen so woulde he haue taken thee out of the streight place into a broade place and not shut vp beneath: and that which resteth vpon thy table, had bene full of fat.
“Ele nuwò blem be nàdo go tso xaxa ƒe glã me, ava teƒe keke, ahavo tso dzizizi me eye nànɔ wò kplɔ̃ si dzi nuɖuɖu damiwo le fũu la ŋu le dziɖeɖi me.
17 But thou art ful of the iudgement of the wicked, though iudgement and equitie maintaine all things.
Ke azɔ la, wotsɔ ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ si dze na ame vɔ̃ɖiwo la do agbae na wò, ale nège ɖe afiatsotso kple tohehe ƒe asi me.
18 For Gods wrath is, least hee should take that away in thine abundance: for no multitude of giftes can deliuer thee.
Kpɔ nyuie be ame aɖeke metsɔ kesinɔnuwo ble nuwòe o eye zãnu si le kpekpem segee la nana nàdze ɖe aga o.
19 Wil he regard thy riches? he regardeth not golde, nor all them that excel in strength.
Ɖe wò kesinɔnuwo alo wò kutrikuku veviwo katã alé wò ɖe asi be màɖo xaxa me oa?
20 Be not carefull in the night, howe he destroyeth the people out of their place.
Wò dzi megatsi dzi ɖe zã ƒe dodo ŋu ne nàhe amewo ado goe le woƒe aƒewo me o.
21 Take thou heede: looke not to iniquitie: for thou hast chosen it rather then affliction.
Kpɔ nyuie be mètrɔ ɖe nu vɔ̃ɖi, si nèdi wu hiã la ŋu o.
22 Beholde, God exalteth by his power: what teacher is like him?
“Kpɔ ɖa, wodo Mawu ɖe dzi bobobo le eƒe ŋusẽ me. Ame kae nye nufiala abe eya ene?
23 Who hath appointed to him his way? or who can say, Thou hast done wickedly?
Ame kae tia mɔ siwo wòato la nɛ alo gblɔ nɛ be, ‘Èwɔ nu gbegblẽ?’
24 Remember that thou magnifie his worke, which men behold.
Ɖo ŋku edzi, nàdo eƒe dɔwɔwɔwo ɖe dzi, siwo amewo kafuna le woƒe hadzidziwo me.
25 All men see it, and men beholde it afarre off.
Amegbetɔwo katã kpɔe eye agbagbeawo ɖea ŋku ɖee tso adzɔge.
26 Beholde, God is excellent, and we knowe him not, neither can the nomber of his yeres bee searched out.
Mawu lolo loo, ekɔ gbɔ míaƒe gɔmesese ta! Eƒe ƒewo ƒe gɔmedidi gbɔ míaƒe nudidi ƒe ŋutete ta.
27 When he restraineth the droppes of water, the rayne powreth down by the vapour thereof,
“Ehea tsi si le gegem toŋtoŋtoŋ la ƒoa ƒu, si dzana abe tsi ene ɖe tɔʋuwo me,
28 Which raine the cloudes do droppe and let fall abundantly vpon man.
lilikpowo hã lolõa tsi si le wo me, eye tsi dzana bababa ɖe amegbetɔwo dzi.
29 Who can know the diuisions of ye clouds and the thunders of his tabernacle?
Ame kae ase ale si wòkeke lilikpowo, kple ale si wòɖea gbe tso eƒe agbadɔ me la gɔme?
30 Beholde, he spreadeth his light vpon it, and couereth the bottome of the sea.
Kpɔ ale si wòkaka eƒe dzikedzo ƒo xlã eɖokui eye wòblu atsiaƒu ƒe gogloƒewo ke hã ɖa.
31 For thereby hee iudgeth the people, and giueth meate abundantly.
Aleae wòkplɔa dukɔwoe eye wònaa nuɖuɖu wo le agbɔsɔsɔ me.
32 He couereth the light with the clouds, and commandeth them to go against it.
Etsɔa dzikedzo yɔa eƒe asiwo mee eye wòdɔnɛ be wòake dzo ɖe nu si wòɖoe na la dzi.
33 His companion sheweth him thereof, and there is anger in rising vp.
Eƒe dziɖegbe ɖea gbeƒã ahom si gbɔna, nyiwo gɔ̃ hã ɖea gbeƒã, ne egbɔna.
