Hiob ɖo nya ŋu nɛ be,
2 Listen completely [to] speech my and let it be this consolations your.
“Ɖo to nyuie nàse nye nyawo, esia nenye akɔfafa si nànam.
3 Bear with me and I I will speak and after have spoken I you will mock.
Migbɔ dzi ɖi nam, ne maƒo nu eye ne meƒo nu vɔ la, miate ŋu ayi miaƒe alɔmeɖeɖe dzi.
4 ¿ I to humankind [is] complaint my and if why? not will it be short spirit my.
“Amegbetɔe mele konyi fam na? Nu ka ta nyemagbe dzigbɔɖeanyi o?
5 Turn to me and be appalled and put a hand over a mouth.
Mikpɔm ɖa, ne miaƒe mo nawɔ yaa eye miaƒu asi nu.
6 And if I remember [this] and I am disturbed and it takes hold of flesh my shuddering.
Ne mebu nu sia ŋuti la ŋɔ dziam eye nye ameti blibo la medzona nyanyanya.
7 Why? wicked [people] do they live they grow old also do they become strong? strength.
Nu ka ta ame vɔ̃ɖiwo nɔa agbe, tsina, kua amegã, eye woƒe ŋusẽ dzina ɖe edzi ɖo?
8 Offspring their [is] established before them with them and descendants their to eyes their.
Wonɔa agbe, kpɔa wo viwo lia ke heƒoa xlã wo eye woƒe dzidzimeviwo tsina le wo ŋkume.
9 Houses their [are] safety from fear and not [the] rod of God [is] on them.
Woƒe aƒewo me le dedie, wovo tso vɔvɔ̃ ƒe asi me eye Mawu ƒe ameƒoti mevaa wo dzi o.
10 Bull his it impregnates and not it fails it calves cow his and not it miscarries.
Woƒe nyitsuwo megbea asiyɔyɔ o, woƒe nyinɔwo dzia vi eye fu megena le wo ƒo o.
11 They send forth like flock young boys their and children their they leap about!
Woɖea wo viwo doa goe abe lãha ene eye wo vi suewo nɔa fefem henɔa ɣe ɖum.
12 They lift according to tambourine and harp so they may rejoice to [the] sound of a flute.
Wodzia ha ɖe asiʋuiwo kple kasaŋkuwo ŋu eye wotua aglo ɖe kpẽ ƒe ɖiɖi ŋu.
Woɖua woƒe ƒewo le dzidzedzekpɔkpɔ me eye woyia yɔ me le ŋutifafa me (Sheol h7585)
14 And they have said to God depart from us and knowledge of ways your not we desire.
gake wogblɔna na Mawu be, ‘Ɖe asi le mía ŋu! Medzro mí be míanya wò mɔwo o.
15 What? [is the] Almighty that we will serve him and what? will we gain that we will entreat him.
Ame kae nye Ŋusẽkatãtɔ be míasubɔe? Viɖe ka míakpɔ ne míedo gbe ɖa nɛ?’
16 There! not [is] in own hand their prosperity their [the] counsel of wicked [people] it is far from me.
Evɔa woƒe dzidzedzekpɔkpɔ mele woawo ŋutɔ ƒe asi me o, eya ta menɔ adzɔge na ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe aɖaŋudede.
17 How often? - [the] lamp of wicked [people] is it extinguished and it may come? on them calamity their pain does he apportion? in anger his.
“Ke hã la, zi nenie ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe akaɖi tsina? Zi nenie dzɔgbevɔ̃e dzɔna ɖe wo dzi, esi nye nu si Mawu ɖo ɖi na wo le eƒe dziku me?
18 Are they? like straw before a wind and like chaff [which] it has stolen it a storm-wind.
Zi nenie wole abe gbe ƒuƒu si ya lɔ ɖe nu alo atsa si ahom lɔ ɖe nu ene?
19 God he stores up for children his wickedness his let him repay to him so he may know.
Wogblɔ be, ‘Mawu ɖo amegbetɔ ƒe tohehe ɖi na via ŋutsuwo.’ Anyo be wòahe to na amea ŋutɔ, ne wòanya nu si wònye!
20 Let them see (own eyes his *Q(K)*) destruction his and from [the] rage of [the] Almighty let him drink.
Eya ŋutɔ ƒe ŋkuwo nekpɔ eƒe gbegblẽ, eye wòano Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la ƒe dɔmedzoekplu
21 For what? [is] pleasure his in household his after him and [the] number of months his they have been cut off.
elabena ɖe wòtsɔ ɖe le eme na ƒometɔ siwo wògblẽ ɖe megbe esi ɣleti siwo woɖo ɖi nɛ la wu nua?
22 ¿ To God will anyone teach knowledge and he exalted [ones] he judges.
“Ɖe ame aɖe ate ŋu afia gɔmesese Mawu, esi wònye eyae drɔ̃a ʋɔnu ame kɔkɔtɔ gɔ̃ hã?
23 This [one] he will die with limb[s] of completeness his all of him [is] at ease and at ease.
Ame aɖe ku esi eƒe agbe ɖo vivime, wòle dedinɔnɔ me eye wòɖe dzi ɖi bɔkɔɔ,
24 Pails his they are full milk and [the] marrow of bones his it is watered.
eƒe ŋutilã kpɔ nunyiame nyuitɔ eye ƒutomemi yɔ eƒe ƒuwo me fũu.
25 And this [one] he will die with a soul bitter and not he has eaten in the good.
Ame bubu ku le eƒe luʋɔ ƒe nuxaxa me eye mese vivi na nu vivi aɖeke kpɔ o.
26 Together on dust they will lie and a maggot it will cover over them.
Ke wo ame evea mlɔ kasanu le ke me, eye ŋɔviwo ɖi ba ɖe wo kple evea dzi.
27 Here! I know thoughts your and [the] schemes on me you do violence.
“Menya nu siwo susum miele la nyuie kple nu vɔ̃ɖi siwo ɖom miele be miadze agɔ le dzinye.
28 For you say where? [is the] house of a noble [person] and where? [is the] tent of - [the] dwelling places of wicked [people].
Miegblɔ be, ‘Afi ka ame xɔŋkɔ la ƒe aƒe le eye agbadɔ si me ame vɔ̃ɖiwo nɔ la ɖe?’
29 ¿ Not have you asked [those who] pass by of [the] road and signs their not do you recognize?
Miebia gbe mɔzɔlawo kpɔ oa? Mietsɔ ɖeke le woƒe nuteƒekpɔkpɔ si wogblɔ fia mi la me be
30 That to a day of calamity he is spared an evil [person] to a day of furi they are brought forth.
woɖea ame vɔ̃ɖi le dzɔgbevɔ̃egbe, eye woɖenɛ le dzikugbe oa?
31 Who? will he tell on face his way his and [that which] he he has done who? will he repay to him.
Ame kae ɖe eƒe agbe vlo si nɔm wòle la ɖe mo nɛ kpɔ? Ame kae ɖoa nu tovo si wòwɔ la teƒe nɛ?
32 And he to [the] grave he will be borne and over a tomb someone will keep watch.
Wokɔnɛ yia yɔdo gbɔe eye wodzɔa eƒe yɔdokpe ŋu.
33 They will be sweet to him [the] clods of [the] wadi and after him every person he will follow and before him there not [is] number.
Ke siwo le balime la vivi enu, amewo katã dze eyome eye ameha gã aɖe si womate ŋu axlẽ o la dze ŋgɔ nɛ.
34 And how? will you comfort me vanity and answers your it remains unfaithfulness.
“Eya ta aleke miate ŋu awɔ atsɔ miaƒe bometsinyawo afa akɔ nam mahã? Naneke mele miaƒe nyaŋuɖoɖowo me wu alakpa o!”
