Job 16
1 And he answered Job and he said.
Hiob ɖo eŋu nɛ be,
2 I have heard like these [things] many [are] comforters of trouble all of you.
“Mese nya siawo tɔgbi wòsɔ gbɔ, akɔfala gbɔlowo ko mi katã mienye!
3 ¿ [does] an end [belong] to Words of wind or what? is it making sick you that you will answer.
Miaƒe nuƒo legbe, gɔdɔ̃gɔdɔ̃awo mawu nu akpɔ oa? Nu kae le mia vem be miegale nyahehe dzi kokoko?
4 Also - I like you I will speak if there [were] self your in place of self my I will make join on you words and I will shake on you with head my.
Nenye miawoe le tenyeƒe la, nye hã maƒo nu abe miawo ke ene, agblɔ nyatinyatiwo ɖe mia ŋu eye maʋuʋu ta ɖe mia ŋu.
5 I will strengthen you with mouth my and [the] condolence of lips my it will restrain.
Maƒo nu ade dzi ƒo na mi eye akɔfanya siwo ado tso nunye la ana miaƒe dzi adze eme.
6 If I will speak not it will be restrained pain my and I will cease what? from me will it go.
“Gake ne meƒo nu la, nye vevesesewo dzi maka ɖe kpɔtɔ o eye ne medzudzɔ hã la, veveseseawo medzona o.
7 Nevertheless now he has made weary me you have devastated all company my.
O Mawu, vavãe èna mevɔ le eme keŋkeŋ eye nètsrɔ̃ nye aƒekɔ la katã.
8 And you have seized me a witness it has become and it has risen up on me leanness my in face my it testifies.
Èna meɖi ku, vɔ keŋ eye wòzu ɖaseɖiɖi, nye kuɖiɖi tsi tsitre hezu ɖasefo ɖe ŋunye.
9 Anger his it has torn [me] - and it has assailed me he has gnashed towards me with teeth his opponent my - he sharpens eyes his to me.
Yehowa ƒom, hevuvum le eƒe dziku me eye wòɖu aɖukli ɖe ŋunye, nye ketɔ fɔ ŋku ɖaɖɛwo ɖe dzinye.
10 People have opened wide on me - mouth their in scorn they have struck cheeks my together on me they mass themselves!
Amewo ke woƒe nuwo baa hedo ɣli ɖe tanye. Woƒo tome nam fewuɖutɔe eye wowɔ ɖeka ɖe ŋunye.
11 He delivers up me God to an unjust one and on [the] hands of wicked [people] he casts me.
Mawu dem asi na ame vɔ̃ɖiwo eye wòkɔm ƒu gbe ɖe ŋutasẽlawo ƒe fego me.
12 At ease I was - and he smashed me and he took hold on neck my and he shattered me and he set up me of him to a target.
Nuwo nɔ edzi dzem nam nyuie gake ekakam. Elé kɔʋume nam hegbãm gudugudugudu. Etsɔm wɔ ade si minyam wòle,
13 They surround me - archers his he splits open kidneys my and not he has compassion he pours out to the ground gall my.
eƒe aŋutrɔdalawo ɖe to ɖem. Eŋɔ nye ayikuwo nublanuimakpɔmakpɔtɔe eye wòna nye vevego gbã hekɔ ɖe anyigba.
14 He breaks through me a breach on [the] face of a breach he runs on me like a warrior.
Eva ƒo ɖe dzinye enuenu eye wòlũ ɖe dzinye abe kalẽtɔ ene.
15 Sackcloth I have sewed over skin my and I have inserted in the dust horn my.
“Metɔ akpanya hetsyɔ na nye ŋutilã eye metsɔ nye mo de ke me.
16 Face my (they are reddened *Q(K)*) from weeping and [is] on eyelids my deep darkness.
Avifafa na nye mo biã dzẽe, vɔvɔli ƒo xlã nye ŋkuwo,
17 On not violence [is] in hands my and prayer my [is] pure.
evɔ nye asiwo mewɔ nu tovo aɖeke o eye nye gbedodoɖa hã dza hafi.
18 O earth may not you cover blood my and may not it belong a place to outcry my.
“O, anyigba, mègatsyɔ nye ʋu dzi o eye ɖoɖoe megazi le nye ɣlidodo nu o!
19 Also now there! [is] in the heavens witness my and witness my [is] in high places.
Azɔ gɔ̃ hã la, nye ɖasefo le dziƒo eye nye nyaxɔɖeakɔla le afi ma.
20 [are] scoffing at Me companions my to God it has wept eye my.
Tanyeʋlila nye xɔ̃nye, esi nye ŋkuwo le aɖatsi ɖuɖum na Mawu.
21 And he may argue for a man with God and a child of humankind for companion his.
Eɖea kuku na Mawu ɖe ame ta abe ale si ame ɖea kuku ɖe xɔlɔ̃a tae ene.
22 For years of number they will come and a way [which] not I will return I will go.
“Ƒe ʋɛ aɖewo koe ava yi hafi madze mɔ ayi demagbɔnugbe.
