1 Why? from [the] Almighty not have they been stored up times (and [those who] know him *Q(K)*) not have they seen? days his.
“Nu ka ŋuti Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la meɖo ɣeyiɣiwo ɖi hena ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ o? Nu ka ta ame siwo nyae la nanɔ mɔ kpɔm na ŋkeke siawo dzodzro?
2 Boundaries people reach flock[s] they seize and they have pastured [them].
Amewo ɖea liƒokpewo ɖa, wokplɔa lãha siwo wofi la yia gbeɖuƒee.
3 [the] donkey of Fatherless ones they drive away they take as pledge [the] ox of a widow.
Wokplɔa tsyɔ̃eviwo ƒe tedziwo dzonae eye woxɔa ahosi ƒe nyi abe awɔbanu ene.
4 They thrust aside needy [people] from [the] path together they are made to hide themselves [the] poor [people] of [the] earth.
Wotutua asi hiãtɔwo ɖa le mɔƒome eye wozia ame dahe siwo katã le anyigba dzi la dzi be woasi abe.
5 There! wild donkeys - in the wilderness they go forth in work their seeking for food a desert plain to it food for the children.
Ame dahewo ɖoa gbe nɔa nuɖuɖu dim abe gbetedziwo le gbegbe ene eye kuɖiɖinyigbawo dia nuɖuɖu na wo viwo.
6 In the field fodder its (they harvest *Q(K)*) and [the] vineyard of [the] wicked they glean.
Woŋe gbe le agblewo dzi na lãwo eye wofɔa nuku siwo ge la le ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe waingblewo me.
7 Naked they spend [the] night because not clothing and there not [is] covering in the coldness.
Esi avɔ mele wo si o ta la womlɔ anyi ƒuƒlu le zã me eye naneke meli woatsyɔ le vuvɔ me o.
8 From [the] rain of [the] mountains they are wet and because not shelter they embrace [the] rock.
Tsi ƒoa wo tea wo ŋu nyuie le towo dzi, wokuna ɖe agakpewo ŋu elabena bebeƒe meli o.
9 People tear away from [the] breast a fatherless one and on [the] poor they take pledges.
Woɖea tsyɔ̃evi le no nu eye woxɔa ame dahe ƒe vi ɖe fe si wònyi la nu.
10 Naked they go about not clothing and hungry they carry a sheaf.
Esi wònye avɔ mele wo si o ta la, wole yiyim amama, wolé lu bablawo ɖe ta, evɔ dɔ le wo wum.
11 Between rows their they press out oil wine-presses they tread and they were thirsty.
Wole amiti ƒe ku tum le te dzi, wofiaa wain le wainfiaƒewo gake tsikɔ le wo wum.
12 From [the] city men - they groan and [the] throat of [those] fatally wounded it cries for help and God not he puts offensiveness.
Ame siwo le kudɔ ƒom ƒe ŋeŋe de dzi le dua me kɔtɔɔ eye ame siwo xɔ abi la ƒe luʋɔwo le ɣli dom be woaxɔ na yewo, gake Mawu mebu fɔ ame aɖeke be edze agɔ o.
13 They - they are among [those who] rebel against [the] light not they pay regard to ways its and not they dwell in paths its.
“Ame aɖewo li siwo tsi tsitre ɖe kekeli la ŋu, ame siwo menya eƒe mɔwo alo zɔ eƒe toƒewo o.
14 To the light he rises a murderer he kills [the] poor and [the] needy and in the night he is like thief.
Ne viviti do la, hlɔ̃dola la tsona hewua ame dahewo kple hiãtɔwo, le zã me la, enɔa zɔzɔm abe fiafitɔ ene
15 And [the] eye of an adulterer - it watches for twilight saying not it will observe me an eye and covering of face he puts.
Ahasitɔ ƒe ŋku nɔa viviti lalam, egblɔna le eƒe susu me be, ‘Ŋku aɖeke makpɔm o,’ eye wòɣlaa eƒe mo.
16 He digs into in darkness houses by day they seal up for themselves not they know light.
Le viviti me la, amewo gbãa ʋɔ, gena ɖe aƒewo me gake ne ŋu ke la, wonɔa xɔ me tua ʋɔ ɖe wo ɖokuiwo nu elabena womedi kekeli ƒe nya aɖeke o.
17 For together - [is] morning for them deep darkness for he is acquainted with [the] terrors of deep darkness.
Ke wo katã la, viviti tsiɖitsiɖie le na wo abe ŋdikekeli ene eye wodzea xɔ̃ viviti ƒe ŋɔdzinuwo.
18 [is] swift He - on [the] surface of [the] waters it is cursed portion their in the land not anyone turns [the] direction of vineyards.
“Evɔ la, futukpɔ ko wonye le tsi ŋgɔ, woƒoa fi dea anyigba ƒe akpa si nye woƒe gome ale be ame aɖeke mayi ɖe waingblewo me le afi ma o.
19 Drought also heat they snatch away [the] waters of snow Sheol [those who] they have sinned. (Sheol )
Abe ale si dzoxɔxɔ kple kuɖiɖi kplɔa tsikpe si lolõ la dzonae ene la, nenemae yɔdo kplɔa ame siwo wɔa nu vɔ̃ la hã dzonae. (Sheol )
20 It forgets him [the] womb - it sucks on him maggot[s] again not he is remembered and it was broken like tree injustice.
Vidzidɔ ŋlɔa wo be, wozua nuɖuɖu na ŋɔviwo, womegaɖoa ŋku ame vɔ̃ɖiwo dzi o, ke boŋ woŋena abe atilɔ ene.
21 [he] feeds on A barren [woman] [who] not she gives birth and a widow not he does good to.
Wohaa konɔwo kple vimanɔsitɔwo eye womekpɔa nublanui na ahosiwo o.
22 And he drags off mighty [ones] by power his he rises and not anyone trusts in life.
Gake Mawu kplɔa kalẽtɔwo dzonae kple eƒe ŋusẽ. Togbɔ be woli ke hã la, kakaɖedzi mele wo si be woanɔ agbe o.
23 He gives to him to security so he may support himself and eyes his [are] on ways their.
Ɖewohĩ ana woaɖe dzi ɖi abu be yewole dedie gake eƒe ŋkuwo le woƒe mɔwo ŋu.
24 They are exalted a little - and there not [is] he and they are brought low like everyone they are contracted! and like a head of grain they wither.
Wodoa wo ɖe dzi ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe, tete wo nu va yina, woɖiɖia wo ɖe anyi eye wokuna abe bubuawo katã ko ene ale woŋea wo abe ale si woŋea bli le bliti ŋu ene.
25 And if not then who? will he prove a liar me and will he make? into nothing speech my.
“Ne mele alea o la, ame kae aɖe aʋatso nam eye wòana nye nyawo nazu tofloko?”
