Job 39
1 Knowest thou the time when the wilde goates bring foorth yong? or doest thou marke when the hindes doe calue?
“Ènya ɣeyiɣi si todzigbɔ̃wo dzia via? Ènɔa eteƒe hafi zinɔ fɔa fua?
2 Canst thou nomber the moneths that they fulfill? or knowest thou the time when they bring foorth?
Èxlẽa ɣletiwo va se ɖe woƒe vidziɣia? Ènya ɣeyiɣi si wodzia via?
3 They bow them selues: they bruise their yong and cast out their sorowes.
Wodzea klo hedzia vi eye woƒe kuléle wua nu.
4 Yet their yong waxe fatte, and growe vp with corne: they goe foorth and returne not vnto them.
Wo viwo tsina eye ŋusẽ ɖoa wo ŋu le gbe me, ale wodzona eye womegagbɔna vaa wo dadaa gbɔ o.
5 Who hath set the wilde asse at libertie? or who hath loosed the bondes of the wilde asse?
“Ame kae na ablɔɖe gbetedzi? Ame kae tu kae?
6 It is I which haue made the wildernesse his house, and the salt places his dwellings.
Metsɔ gbegbe nɛ be wòanye eƒe aƒe kple dzeƒi gbadza la nɛ be wòanye enɔƒe.
7 He derideth the multitude of the citie: he heareth not the crie of the driuer.
Hoowɔwɔ si le edzi yim le dua me la le kokoe ɖim nɛ eye mele tasiaɖamkula ƒe ɣlidodo sem o.
8 He seeketh out the mountaine for his pasture, and searcheth after euery greene thing.
Etsana le togbɛwo dzi dia gbeɖuƒe eye wòtsaa ŋu na gbe mumu ɖe sia ɖe.
9 Will the vnicorne serue thee? or will he tary by thy cribbe?
“Ɖe to si le gbe me la alɔ̃ asubɔ wòa? Atɔ ɖe wò gbeɖuƒe le zã mea?
10 Canst thou binde the vnicorne with his band to labour in the furrowe? or will he plowe the valleyes after thee?
Àte ŋu ade kae ɖe agbleŋlɔnu ŋua? Alɔ̃ anɔ yowòme aŋlɔ balimea?
11 Wilt thou trust in him, because his strength is great, and cast off thy labour vnto him?
Ɖe nàɖo ŋu ɖe eŋu le eƒe ŋusẽ gã la ta? Àtsɔ wò dɔ kpekpewo agble ɖe eƒe asi mea?
12 Wilt thou beleeue him, that he will bring home thy seede, and gather it vnto thy barne?
Àte ŋu aɖo dzi ɖe eŋu be atsɔ wò lu agbɔe na wò dedie eye wòaƒoe ƒu ɖe wò lugbɔƒea?
13 Hast thou giuen the pleasant wings vnto the peacockes? or winges and feathers vnto the ostriche?
“Golo ƒoa eƒe aʋala kpakpakpa dzidzɔtɔe gake womate ŋu atsɔe asɔ kple damixe ƒe fu kple aʋalã o.
14 Which leaueth his egges in the earth, and maketh them hote in the dust,
Eɖaa eƒe azi ɖe anyigba, enana ke xɔdzo dea dzo eme
15 And forgetteth that the foote might scatter the, or that the wild beast might breake the.
eye metsɔ ɖeke le eme be, ame aɖe ate ŋu aɖo afɔ edzi, agbãe loo, alo lã wɔadã aɖe agbãe o.
16 He sheweth himselfe cruell vnto his yong ones, as they were not his, and is without feare, as if he trauailed in vaine.
Esẽa ŋuta le viawo ŋu abe menye eyae dzi wo o ene eye metsɔa ɖeke le eme ne eƒe agbagbadzedze zu dɔ vlo o.
17 For God had depriued him of wisedom, and hath giuen him no part of vnderstanding.
Elabena Mawu mena nunyae alo na susu nyuie o.
18 When time is, he mounteth on hie: he mocketh the horse and his rider.
Ke hã la, ne ekeke aʋala me, hedze duƒuƒu gɔme la, sɔ kple sɔdola ƒe nu ɖia kokoe nɛ.
19 Hast thou giuen the horse strength? or couered his necke with neying?
“Wòe na ŋusẽ sɔ alo wòe tsɔ kɔdza de kɔ nɛa?
20 Hast thou made him afraid as the grashopper? his strong neying is fearefull.
Wòe na wòtia kpo abe ʋetsuvi ene eye wòdoa ŋɔdzi kple eƒe ŋɔtimegbɔgbɔa?
21 He diggeth in the valley, and reioyceth in his strength: he goeth foorth to meete the harnest man.
Etsɔa eƒe afɔkli kaa nu ŋɔdzitɔe, ekpɔa dzidzɔ ɖe eƒe ŋusẽ ŋu eye wòlũna ɖe aʋakɔ dzi.
22 He mocketh at feare, and is not afraid, and turneth not backe from the sworde,
Vɔvɔ̃ doa nukokoe nɛ eye mevɔ̃a naneke o, yi gɔ̃ hã medoa ŋɔdzi nɛ o.
23 Though the quiuer rattle against him, the glittering speare and the shield.
Aŋutrɔwo le wo nɔewo lɔm le eƒe axadzi, nenema kee nye akplɔ siwo le dzo dam kple yi.
24 He swalloweth the ground for fearcenes and rage, and he beleeueth not that it is the noise of the trumpet.
Ele anyigba ɖum esi wògli kple dzidzɔ manyagblɔ, mate ŋu anɔ te va se ɖe esime kpẽ naɖi o.
25 He sayth among the trumpets, Ha, ha: hee smellleth the battell afarre off, and the noyse of the captaines, and the shouting.
Edo ɣli be, ‘Aha!’ ne kpẽa ɖi. Esea aʋa ƒe ʋeʋẽ le adzɔge ke kple aʋakplɔlawo ƒe gbeɖeɖe kple aʋaɣli.
26 Shall the hauke flie by thy wisedome, stretching out his wings toward the South?
“Ɖe aʋako dzona yia dzi ʋĩi le wò nunya nu eye wòkekea eƒe aʋalã heɖoa ta dziehea?
27 Doeth the eagle mount vp at thy commandement, or make his nest on hie?
Ɖe hɔ̃ dzona yia dzi ʋĩi le wò gbeɖeɖe nu eye wòwɔa eƒe atɔ ɖe kɔkɔƒea?
28 Shee abideth and remaineth in the rocke, euen vpon the toppe of the rocke, and the tower.
Enɔa togbɛ kɔkɔ dzi eye wòtsia afi ma le zã me, agakpe tsakli tomee nye eƒe bebeƒe.
29 From thence she spieth for meate, and her eyes beholde afarre off.
Afi ma wòdia eƒe nuɖuɖu tsonae eye eƒe ŋku kpɔnɛ le adzɔge ke.
30 His young ones also sucke vp blood: and where the slaine are, there is she.
Ʋu nye nuɖuɖu na viawo eye afi si aʋatsilawo le la, afi ma wònɔna.”
