Hiob 3
1 Le esia megbe la, Hiob ke nu eye wòƒo fi de eƒe dzigbe.
Aftir these thingis Joob openyde his mouth,
2 Egblɔ be,
and curside his dai, and seide, Perische the dai in which Y was borun,
3 “Ŋkeke si dzi wodzim la netsrɔ̃, nenema ke nye zã si me wogblɔ be, ‘Wodzi viŋutsu na mí!’
and the nyyt in which it was seid, The man is conceyued.
4 Ŋkeke ma nezu viviti, Mawu si le dziƒo la megatsɔ ɖeke le eme nɛ o, kekeli aɖeke megaklẽ ɖe edzi o.
Thilke dai be turnede in to derknessis; God seke not it aboue, and be it not in mynde, nethir be it liytned with liyt.
5 Viviti kple blukɔ tsiɖitsiɖi negaxɔe, lilikpo netsyɔ edzi eye blukɔ nedo ɖe eƒe kekeli dzi.
Derknessis make it derk, and the schadewe of deeth and myist occupie it; and be it wlappid with bittirnesse.
6 Viviti tsiɖitsiɖi nexɔ zã ma eye womegaxlẽe ɖe ƒea ƒe ŋkekewo me alo woadee ɣleti aɖeke ƒe ŋkekewo me o.
Derk whirlwynde holde that niyt; be it not rikynyd among the daies of the yeer, nethir be it noumbrid among the monethes.
7 Zã ma netsi ko eye dzidzɔɣli aɖeke megaɖi le eme o.
Thilke nyyt be soleyn, and not worthi of preisyng.
8 Ame siwo ƒoa fi dea ŋkekewo la, neƒo fi de ŋkeke ma, ame siwo le klalo be woade adã ta me na ʋɔ driba la.
Curse thei it, that cursen the dai, that ben redi to reise Leuyathan.
9 Eƒe ŋukeɣletiviwo nedo viviti, kekeli si lalam wòle la megado nɛ o eye megakpɔ fɔŋli ƒe ɣetotoe gbãtɔwo o,
Sterris be maad derk with the derknesse therof; abide it liyt, and se it not, nethir the bigynnyng of the morwetid risyng vp.
10 elabena metu vidzidɔ ƒe ʋɔtruwo ɖe nunye, be nye ŋkuwo makpɔ dzɔgbevɔ̃e o.
For it closide not the doris of the wombe, that bar me, nethir took awei yuels fro min iyen.
11 “Nu ka ŋuti nyemeku le nye dzigbe eye maku hafi ado tso vidzidɔ me o?
Whi was not Y deed in the wombe? whi yede Y out of the wombe, and perischide not anoon?
12 Nu ka ta ata aɖewo le klalo be woakɔm ɖe akɔ eye no aɖewo li be mano?
Whi was Y takun on knees? whi was Y suclid with teetis?
13 Anye ne memlɔ anyi le ŋutifafa me, le alɔ̃ dɔm, le ɖiɖim ɖe eme.
For now Y slepynge schulde be stille, and schulde reste in my sleep,
14 Anye ne mele fiawo kple aɖaŋuɖola siwo le anyigba dzi la gbɔ, ame siwo tu xɔ gã siwo zu aƒedo azɔ la na wo ɖokuiwo.
with kyngis, and consuls of erthe, that bilden to hem soleyn places;
15 Anye ne mele dziɖula siwo si sika le eye woƒe aƒewo me yɔ fũu kple klosalo la gbɔ.
ethir with prynces that han gold in possessioun, and fillen her housis with siluer;
16 Alo nu ka ta womeɖim ɖe tome abe fu gege ene, abe vidzĩ si mekpɔ ɣe kpɔ o la ene o?
ethir as a `thing hid not borun Y schulde not stonde, ethir whiche conseyued sien not liyt.
17 Afi ma ame vɔ̃ɖiwo dzudzɔa nyanyra le eye afi ma ame siwo nu ti kɔ na la le gbɔgbɔm ɖe eme le.
There wickid men ceessiden of noise, and there men maad wery of strengthe restiden.
18 Aʋaléleawo hã nɔa ablɔɖe me eye womegasea dɔdzikpɔlawo ƒe ɣli o.
And sum tyme boundun togidere with out disese thei herden not the voys of the wrongful axere.
19 Ame gblɔewo kple amegãwo siaa le afi ma eye kluvi kpɔa ablɔɖe tso eƒe aƒetɔ ƒe asi me.
A litil man and greet man be there, and a seruaunt free fro his lord.
20 “Nu ka tae kekeli klẽna na ayaɖulawo eye wònaa agbe luʋɔ si le nu xam?
Whi is liyt youun to the wretche, and lijf to hem that ben in bitternesse of soule?
21 Nu ka ta wòna agbe ame siwo le ku dim, evɔ mevana na wo o kple ame siwo le edim vevie wu kesinɔnu si woɣla
Whiche abiden deeth, and it cometh not;
22 kple ame siwo kpɔa dzidzɔ, tsoa aseye ne woɖo yɔdo me?
as men diggynge out tresour and ioien greetly, whanne thei han founde a sepulcre?
23 Nu ka ŋutie wòna agbe ame si ƒe mɔwo le ɣaɣla kple ame si ŋuti Mawu tɔ kpɔ ɖo?
Whi is liyt youun to a man, whos weie is hid, and God hath cumpassid hym with derknessis?
24 Elabena hũɖeɖe xɔ ɖe nuɖuɖu teƒe eye nye ŋeŋe ƒona ɖi abe tsi ene.
Bifore that Y ete, Y siyhe; and as of watir flowynge, so is my roryng.
25 Nu si mevɔ̃ na la va dzinye eye nu si dzi ŋɔ nam la dzɔ ɖe dzinye.
For the drede, which Y dredde, cam to me; and that, that Y schamede, bifelde.
26 Nyemekpɔ ŋutifafa, tomefafa alo gbɔɖeme aɖeke o, negbe ʋunyaʋunya ko.”
Whether Y dissymilide not? whether Y was not stille? whether Y restide not? and indignacioun cometh on me.
