Job 8
1 Sotheli Baldath Suytes answeride, and seide,
Tete Suhitɔ, Bildad ɖo nya ŋu na Hiob be,
2 Hou longe schalt thou speke siche thingis? The spirit of the word of thi mouth is manyfold.
“Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣie nànɔ nya siawo gblɔm? Wò nyawo nye yaƒoƒo sesẽ ɖeɖe ko.
3 Whether God supplauntith, `ethir disseyueth, doom, and whether Almyyti God distrieth that, that is iust?
Ɖe Mawu atso afia ŋkunɔa? Ɖe Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la atrɔ nya dzɔdzɔe abua?
4 Yhe, thouy thi sones synneden ayens hym, and he lefte hem in the hond of her wickidnesse;
Esi viwòwo wɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe eŋu la, etsɔ wo de asi na tohehe si woƒe nu vɔ̃ dze na.
5 netheles, if thou risist eerli to God, and bisechist `Almyyti God, if thou goist clene and riytful,
Gake ne àkpɔ Mawu dzi ɖa, aƒo koko na Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la,
6 anoon he schal wake fulli to thee, and schal make pesible the dwellyng place of thi ryytfulnesse;
ekema ne èle dzadzɛe, le dzɔdzɔe, fifia gɔ̃ hã la, atso le tawò eye wòagaɖo wò te, ada wò ɖe teƒe si wòle be nànɔ.
7 in so miche that thi formere thingis weren litil, and that thi laste thingis be multiplied greetli.
Wò gɔmedzedze anɔ sue gake emegbe àdzi asɔ gbɔ ɖe edzi.
8 For whi, axe thou the formere generacioun, and seke thou diligentli the mynde of fadris.
“Bia dzidzime siwo do ŋgɔ, eye nàkpɔe ɖa be nu ka wo fofowo srɔ̃ mahã,
9 For we ben men of yistirdai, and `kunnen not; for oure daies ben as schadewe on the erthe.
elabena míawo la, etsɔviwo míenye, míenya naneke o eye míaƒe ŋkekewo le anyigba dzi le abe vɔvɔli ko ene.
10 And thei schulen teche thee, thei schulen speke to thee, and of her herte thei schulen bring forth spechis.
Ɖe womafia nu wò, agblɔe na wò oa? Ɖe womagblɔ nya na wò tso woƒe gɔmesese me oa?
11 Whether a rusche may lyue with out moysture? ethir a spier `may wexe with out watir?
Ɖe keti miena, tsina ƒlaluu ɖe teƒe si sii mele oa? Ɖe aƒla awɔ nyuie ne mekpɔ tsi oa?
12 Whanne it is yit in the flour, nethir is takun with hond, it wexeth drie bifor alle erbis.
Esi wogale mumu ko eye womeɖo sisi me haɖe o la, woyrɔna kaba wu gbe si le gbedzi.
13 So the weies of alle men, that foryeten God; and the hope of an ypocrite schal perische.
Aleae wòvaa emee na ame siwo katã ŋlɔ Mawu be eye nenemae Mawumavɔ̃lawo ƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ tsrɔ̃nae.
14 His cowardise schal not plese hym, and his trist schal be as a web of yreyns.
Nu si ŋu wòɖo dzi ɖo la meɖo ŋusẽ o eye nu si wòde mee la nye yiyiɖɔ.
15 He schal leene, `ether reste, on his hows, and it schal not stonde; he schal vndursette it, and it schal not rise togidere.
Ede me eƒe ɖɔ eye wòlã, eku ɖe eŋu, gake etso ɖe eƒe asi me.
16 The rusche semeth moist, bifor that the sunne come; and in the risyng of the sunne the seed therof schal go out.
Ɖeko wòle abe ati si wode tsii nyuie le ŋdɔgbe ene ekekea eƒe alɔwo ɖe abɔa me,
17 Rootis therof schulen be maad thicke on an heep of stoonys, and it schal dwelle among stoonys.
eƒe kewo blana ɖe agakpe geɖewo ŋu eye wodia teƒe le kpewo dome.
18 If a man drawith it out of `his place, his place schal denye it, and schal seie, Y knowe thee not.
Gake ne wohoe le enɔƒe la, teƒe la gbea nu le egbɔ eye wògblɔna be, ‘Nyemekpɔ wò kpɔ o.’
19 For this is the gladnesse of his weie, that eft othere ruschis springe out of the erthe.
Vavã eƒe agbe yrɔna eye atiku bubuwo miena ɖe eteƒe.
20 Forsothe God schal not caste a wei a symple man, nethir schal dresse hond to wickid men;
“Enye nyateƒe be Mawu megbea ame si ŋu fɔɖiɖi mele o alo doa ŋusẽ nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔlawo ƒe asi o.
21 til thi mouth be fillid with leiytir, and thi lippis with hertli song.
Ke hã la, agana nukoko nayɔ wò nu me fũu, eye wòatsɔ dzidzɔɣli ayɔ wò nuyiwo nu.
22 Thei that haten thee schulen be clothid with schenschip; and the tabernacle of wickid men schal not stonde.
Ŋukpe alé wò futɔwo eye ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe agbadɔwo maganɔ anyi o.”
