Job 11
1 Then Zophar, from [the] Naamah [area], said this to Job:
Epi Tsophar, Naamatit la, te reponn:
2 “(Should no one answer all that you have said?/Someone should certainly answer all that you have said.) [RHQ] Just because you talk a lot, (should that cause us to declare that you (are innocent/have done nothing wrong)?/that should not cause us to declare that you (are innocent/have done nothing wrong).) [RHQ]
“Èske fòs kantite pawòl sa yo dwe pase san repons? Eske yon nonm pale anpil vin akite?
3 Job, (should your babbling cause us to be silent?/your babbling should certainly not cause us to be silent.) [RHQ] When you make fun of us, shall no one [rebuke you and] cause you to be ashamed?
Èske se akoz ògèy ou ke moun ta dwe rete san pale? Lè ou moke, èske nanpwan moun ki pou fè ou wont?
4 You say, ‘What I say is true; God knows that I am (innocent/without guilt).’
Paske ou te di ‘Lenstriksyon pa m san fot, e mwen inosan nan zye Ou.’
5 But I wish/desire that God would talk and say something [MTY] to answer you!
Men fòk Bondye ta pale e ouvri bouch Li kont ou,
6 God knows everything about everything, so I wish/desire that he would tell you the secrets that he knows because he is wise. But you need to know that God is punishing you less than you deserve!
pou montre ou sekrè a sajès! Paske sajès ki bon gen de bò. Alò, konnen byen ke Bondye pa t egzije tout sa inikite ou merite.
7 [“Tell me], will you ever be able to find out the things about God that are very difficult to understand? Will you be able to find out everything that there is to know about Almighty God?
“Èske ou kab dekouvri pwofondè a Bondye? Èske ou kab twouve lizyè a Toupwisan an?
8 [What there is to know about God] is greater than [the distance from earth to] heaven; so there is no way [RHQ] that you can [understand it all]. It is greater than [the distance from here to] the place of the dead; so it is impossible for you [RHQ] to know it all. (Sheol h7585)
Yo wo tankou syèl la; kisa ou kab fè? Yo pi fon ke sejou lanmò yo, kisa ou kab konnen? (Sheol h7585)
9 What there is to know about God is wider than the earth and wider than the ocean.
Mezi li pi long ke latè, e pi laj pase lanmè.
10 “If God comes to you and puts you in prison and then brings you to a court, (who can stop him?/no one can stop him.) [RHQ]
Si Li pase pa la, oswa fèmen la nèt, oswa konvoke yon asanble, kilès kap anpeche Li?
11 He knows which people are worthless; and when he sees people doing wicked things, (will he ignore it?/he will certainly not ignore it!) [RHQ]
Paske Li konnen moun ki fò, e Li wè inikite menm san fè ankèt.
12 Stupid people [like you] will start to become wise [SAR] when wild donkeys [stop giving birth to wild donkeys and] start giving birth to tame donkeys.
Yon moun ensanse va vin entèlijan lè pòtre a yon bourik mawon fèt kon yon moun.
13 “Job, repent [IDM]; reach out your hands to seek God’s help.
“Si ou ta vle vin bon, dirije kè ou e lonje men ou vè Li.
14 If you have done evil things, stop doing them; and do not allow any people in your house to do wicked things.
Si se inikite ki nan men ou, mete l byen lwen. Pa kite mechanste demere nan tant pa ou.
15 If you do what I have said, surely you will lift up your head because you will not be ashamed; you will be strong, and not afraid [of anything].
Konsa, anverite, ou ta kab leve figi ou wo san tach. Wi, ou va fidèl nèt e pa oblije gen lakrent.
16 You will forget all your troubles; they will be like [the] water [of a flood] that has all disappeared.
Konsa ou va bliye twoub ou a. Ou va sonje l tankou dlo ki fin pase. Se konsa ou ta kab sonje li.
17 [Your troubles will be ended, like the darkness ends] at the dawn; [it will be as though] [MET] the sun is shining brightly on you, like [it shines] at noon.
Lavi ou va pi klè ke midi; malgre gen fènwa a, lap tankou maten.
18 You will feel safe/secure, because you will confidently expect [that good things will happen to you]; God will protect you and enable you to rest safely [each night].
Ou va vin gen konfyans, akoz gen espwa. Epi ou va gade toupatou e repoze ou an sekirite.
19 You will lie down, and no one will cause you to be afraid. And many people will come and request you to do things for them.
Ou va kouche dòmi e okenn moun pa p deranje ou. Wi, anpil moun va mande favè ou.
20 But wicked people [SYN] will not be able to understand [why bad things are happening to them]; they will not have any way to escape [from their troubles]. The only thing that they will want to do is to die. [EUP]”
Men zye a mechan yo va gate, e p ap gen chape pou yo. Pou yo, espwa va pou yo kab rann dènye souf yo.”
