Job 9
1 And he answered Job and he said.
Hiob ɖo eŋu nɛ gblɔ be,
2 Truly I know that thus and what? will he be justified a person with God.
“Vavã menya be esia nye nyateƒe, gake aleke amegbetɔ kodzogbea anɔ dzɔdzɔe le Mawu ŋkumee?
3 If someone desires to conduct a case with him not he will answer him one [time] from a thousand.
Togbɔ be anye ame ƒe didi be yeahe nya kplii hã la, mate ŋu aɖo nya ɖeka pɛ hã ŋu nɛ le nya akpe dome o.
4 Wise of heart and strong of power who? has he shown stubbornness to him and he has remained unharmed.
Eƒe nunya de to, eƒe ŋusẽ keke ta, ame kae tso ɖe eŋu kpɔ gbe abixɔxɔ?
5 The [one who] removes mountains and not they know [the one] who he overturns them in anger his.
Emli towo ɖa gake womenya o eye wòtrɔ wo bu anyi le eƒe dziku me.
6 The [one who] shakes [the] earth from place its and pillars its they tremble!
Eʋuʋu anyigba le enɔƒe eye wòna eƒe sɔtiwo ʋuʋu kpekpekpe.
7 The [one who] speaks to the sun and not it shines and behind [the] stars he puts a seal.
Eƒoa nu na ɣe eye meklẽna o, etsɔa nu xea ɣletiviwo ŋkume ale be womeklẽna o.
8 [one who] stretches out [the] heavens To only him and [one who] treads on [the] high places of [the] sea.
Eya ɖekae keke dziƒowo me eye wòzɔa ƒutsotsoewo dzi.
9 [one who] makes [the] Bear Orion and Pleiades and [the] chambers of [the] south.
Eyae wɔ ɣletivi siwo woyɔna be, Avutɔ, Koklovinɔ kple Atifieŋu kple dzieheɣletiviwo.
10 [one who] does Great [things] until there not [is] inquiry and wonders until there not [is] number.
Ewɔ nu dzɔtsu siwo me dzodzro meli o eye wòwɔ nukunu siwo mele xexlẽme o.
11 There! he will pass by at me and not I will see [him] and he may pass on and not I will perceive him.
Ne eva to ŋunye yi la, nyemate ŋu akpɔe o, ne etso eme va yi la, nyemate ŋu adze sii o.
12 There! he will snatch away who? will he turn back him who? will he say to him what? are you doing.
Ne exɔ nu le ame si sesẽtɔe la, ame kae ate ŋu aɖo asi edzi? Ame kae ate ŋu agblɔ nɛ be, ‘Nu kae nye ema wɔm nèle?’
13 God not he will turn back anger his (under him *Q(k)*) they lay prostrate [the] helpers of Rahab.
Mawu meɖoa asi eƒe dziku dzi o, Rahab ƒe aʋakɔwo gɔ̃ hã bɔbɔ ɖe eƒe afɔ te.
14 Indeed? for I I will answer him I will choose words my with him.
“Eya ta aleke nye ya mate ŋu aɖe ɖeklemie? Afi ka makpɔ nyawo le atsɔ ahe nya kplii?
15 [I] who Though I am righteous not I will answer to judge my I will seek favor.
Togbɔ be nyemedze agɔ o hã la, nyemate ŋu aɖo nya ŋu nɛ o. Kuku ko mate ŋu aɖe na nye Ʋɔnudrɔ̃la be wòakpɔ nublanui nam.
16 If I called and he answered me not I believe that he gave ear to voice my.
Ne meyɔe eye wòtɔ nam gɔ̃ hã la, nyemebu be aɖo tom o.
17 [he] who With a storm he crushes me and he increases wounds my without cause.
Atsɔ ahomya agbãm gudugudu eye wòadzi nye abiwo ɖe edzi dzodzro.
18 Not he permits me to bring back breath my for he surfeits me bitter things.
Maɖe mɔ nam be magakpɔ gbɔdzɔe o, ke boŋ ana vevesese nakpɔ ŋusẽ ɖe dzinye.
19 If to power a strong [one] there! and if to justice who? will he summon me.
Ne ŋusẽ ƒe nya wònye la, kpɔ ɖa, ŋusẽtɔe wònye! Ke ne enye ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ ƒe nya la, ame kae akplɔe ayi ʋɔnui?
20 Though I am righteous own mouth my it will condemn as guilty me [am] blameless I and it declared guilty me.
Ne nyemeɖi fɔ o gɔ̃ hã la, nye nu abu fɔm, eye ne nyemedze agɔ o hã la, abu fɔm.
21 [am] blameless I not I know self my I reject life my.
“Togbɔ be nyemeɖi fɔ o hã la, nyemetsɔ ɖeke le eme na ɖokuinye o eye medo vlo nye ŋutɔ nye agbe.
22 [is] one It there-fore I say [the] blameless and [the] wicked he [is] bringing to an end.
Wo katã le ɖeka eya ta megblɔ be, ‘Etsrɔ̃a ame maɖifɔ kple ame vɔ̃ɖi la siaa.’
23 If a scourge it kills suddenly [the] despair of innocent [ones] he mocks.
Ne ameƒoti he ku vɛ kpata la, eɖea alɔme le ame maɖifɔ ƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ bubu ŋuti.
24 A land - it has been given in [the] hand of a wicked [person] [the] face of judges its he covers if not then who? [is] it.
Ne anyigba aɖe ge ɖe ame vɔ̃ɖi ƒe asi me la, ekema etsyɔa nu mo na eƒe ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo. Ne menye eyae o ɖe, ekema ame kae?
25 And days my they have been swift more than a runner they have fled not they have seen good.
“Nye ŋkekewo le du ɖim wu duƒula, wodzo dzo kabakaba dzidzɔ aɖeke manɔmee.
26 They have passed on with ships of reed like an eagle [which] it rushes on food.
Wozɔ mii va yi abe aƒlaʋuwo ene eye abe hɔ̃woe de agba anyi be yewoaƒo nu le anyigba ene.
27 If to say I I will forget complaint my I will let loose face my and I will be cheerful.
Ne megblɔ be, ‘Maŋlɔ nye konyifafa be eye madzudzɔ adãɖoɖo, aɖo nukomo la,’
28 I dread all pains my I know that not you will acquit me.
ekema nye fukpekpewo katã doa ŋɔdzi nam elabena menyae be màbum fɔmaɖilae o.
29 I I will be guilty why? this vanity will I labor.
Esi wobum fɔɖilae xoxo ɖe, nu ka tae maganɔ ʋiʋlim dzodzro?
30 If I washed myself (in water of *Q(K)*) snow and I cleansed with potash hands my.
Ne mele tsi kple tsiledzalẽ eye metsɔ nunyadzalẽ klɔ asi gɔ̃ hã la,
31 Then in pit you will dip me and they will abhor me own clothes my.
aganyrɔm ɖe anyiʋe me, ale be manyɔ ŋu na nye awuwo gɔ̃ hã.
32 For not [he is] a human like me I will answer him we will come together in judgment.
“Menye amee wònye abe nye ene ne maɖo nya ŋu nɛ, be makplɔe ayi ʋɔnui ahe nya kplii o.
33 Not there between us [is] an arbiter he may put hand his on [the] two of us.
Ne ame aɖe ɖe wòli aƒo nu le mía dome, ada asi ɖe mí ame evea dzi
34 Let him remove from on me rod his and dread his may not it terrify me.
ame si aɖe Mawu ƒe ameƒoti ɖa le ŋutinye, ale be eƒe ŋɔdzi magado vɔvɔ̃ nam o la, ne anyo.
35 I will speak and not I will fear him for not [am] thus I with myself.
Ekema maƒo nu na eya amea mavɔmavɔ̃e, gake abe ale si wòle nam fifia ene la, nyemate ŋui o.”
