4 Mawu ƒe gbɔgbɔe wɔm, Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la ƒe gbɔgbɔe de agbe menye,
The spirit of God made me, and the brething of Almyyti God quykenyde me.
5 eya ta ɖo nya ŋu nam, ne àte ŋui, dzra ɖokuiwò ɖo ne nàhe nya kplim.

9 ‘Medza eye nu vɔ̃ mele ŋutinye o, ŋutinye kɔ eye mevo tso vodada me.

10 Ke hã la, Mawu kpɔ vodada le ŋunye, eye wòbum eƒe futɔe.
`For God foond querels in me, therfor he demyde me enemy to hym silf.
11 Etsɔ nye afɔ de kunyowu me eye eƒe ŋkuwo le nye mɔwo katã ŋu kplikplikpli.’
He hath set my feet in a stok; he kepte alle my pathis.
12 “Gake magblɔe na wo be, le esia me ya, tɔwò medzɔ o, elabena Mawu lolo wu amegbetɔ.
Therfor this thing it is, in which thou art not maad iust; Y schal answere to thee, that God is more than man.
13 Nu ka ŋutie nèle nya hem kplii be, meɖo amegbetɔ ƒe nya aɖeke ŋuti nɛ o?
Thou stryuest ayenus God, that not at alle wordis he answeride to thee.
14 Elabena Mawu ƒoa nu to mɔ sia alo ekemɛ dzi togbɔ be amegbetɔ mekpɔe dze sii o hã.

15 Le drɔ̃e me, le zã me ƒe ŋutega me, ne amewo dɔ alɔ̃ yi eme ʋĩi alo wole akɔlɔ̃e dɔm le woƒe abawo dzi la,
God spekith bi a dreem in the visioun of nyyt, whanne sleep fallith on men, and thei slepen in the bed.
16 ava ƒo nu ɖe to me na wo, atsɔ kpɔdzidzewo ado ŋɔdzii na wo,
Thanne he openith the eeris of men, and he techith hem, `and techith prudence;
17 be wòana amegbetɔ natrɔ tso vɔ̃wɔwɔ me eye wòaɖee tso dada me,
that he turne awei a man fro these thingis whiche he made, and delyuere hym fro pride; delyuerynge his soule fro corrupcioun,
18 ne wòadzra eƒe luʋɔ ɖo tso yɔdo ƒe asi me eye eƒe agbe magatsrɔ̃ ɖe yi nu o.

19 “Alo eƒoa ame le dɔbadzi kple ƒutomevevesese si nɔa edzi ɖaa,
Also God blameth a synnere bi sorewe in the bed, and makith alle the boonys of hym `to fade.
20 ale be eya ameti bliboa nyɔa ŋu nuɖuɖu eye eƒe luʋɔ doa vlo nuɖuɖu vivitɔ gɔ̃ hã.
Breed is maad abhomynable to hym in his lijf, and mete desirable `bifor to his soule.

His soule schal neiye to corrupcioun, and his lijf to thingis `bryngynge deeth.
23 Ke hã la, ne Mawudɔla le eƒe axadzi abe nyaxɔɖeakɔla ene, ɖeka le akpe dome, be wòagblɔ nu si nyo na ame la nɛ,
If an aungel, oon of a thousynde, is spekynge for hym, that he telle the equyte of man, God schal haue mercy on hym,
24 heve enu, gblɔ nɛ be, ‘Ɖe eƒe agbe be magayi yɔdo me o elabena mekpɔ avulénu nɛ’ la,
and schal seie, Delyuere thou hym, that he go not doun in to corrupcioun; Y haue founde in what thing Y schal do merci to hym.
25 tete eƒe ŋutilã zua yeye abe ɖevi tɔ ene eye wògaɖoa eƒe nɔnɔme me abe eƒe ɖekakpuimeŋkekewo me ene.
His fleisch is wastid of turmentis; turne he ayen to the daies of his yonge wexynge age.
26 Edoa gbe ɖa na Mawu eye wòkpɔa amenuveve tso egbɔ, ekpɔa Mawu ƒe ŋkume eye wòdoa dzidzɔɣli, ale Mawu gaɖonɛ te, be wòanɔ dzɔdzɔenyenye si me wònɔ tsã.
He schal biseche God, and he schal be quemeful to hym; and he schal se his face in hertly ioye, and he schal yelde to man his riytfulnesse.

28 Eɖe nye agbe tso yɔdomeyiyi me, eye manɔ agbe adzɔ dzi le eƒe kekeli me.’
For he delyueride his soule, that it schulde not go in to perischyng, but that he lyuynge schulde se liyt.
29 “Mawu wɔa nu siawo katã na ame, zi eve alo etɔ̃ gɔ̃ hã,

31 “Ƒu to anyi, Hiob, ne nàɖo tom, zi ɖoɖoe, ne maƒo nu.

32 Ne nya aɖe le asiwò la, ɖo nya ŋu nam, elabena medi be wòatso na wò.
Sotheli if thou hast what thou schalt speke, answere thou to me, speke thou; for Y wole, that thou appere iust.
