Hiob 38
1 Tete Yehowa ɖo nyawo ŋu na Hiob to ahom me be,
Forsothe the Lord answeride fro the whirlewynd to Joob,
2 “Ame ka nye esi tsɔ viviti tsyɔ nye aɖaŋudede dzi kple nya siwo gɔmesese meli na la o?
and seide, Who is this man, wlappynge sentences with vnwise wordis?
3 Tso nàbla ali dzi abe ŋutsu ene, mabia nya wò, nàɖo eŋu nam.
Girde thou as a man thi leendis; Y schal axe thee, and answere thou to me.
4 “Afi ka nènɔ esi meɖo anyigba ƒe gɔmeɖokpewo anyi? Gblɔe nam, ne èse egɔme.
Where were thou, whanne Y settide the foundementis of erthe? schewe thou to me, if thou hast vndurstondyng.
5 Ame kae dzidze eƒe kekeme kple didime? Ànyae godoo! Ame kae tsɔ dzidzeka ɖo eŋu?
Who settide mesures therof, if thou knowist? ethir who stretchide forth a lyne theronne?
6 Nu ka dzi woɖo egɔme anyi ɖo? Alo ame kae ɖo eƒe dzogoedzikpe
On what thing ben the foundementis therof maad fast? ether who sente doun the corner stoon therof,
7 esi ŋukeɣletiviwo le ha dzim ɖekae eye Mawudɔlawo katã do dzidzɔɣli?
whanne the morew sterris herieden me togidere, and alle the sones of God sungun ioyfuli?
8 “Ame kae do ʋɔ ɖe atsiaƒu nu esi wòdo go kpoyi tso dadaa ƒe dɔ me
Who closide togidere the see with doris, whanne it brak out comynge forth as of the wombe?
9 esi metsɔ lilikpo wɔ eƒe awudodoe heblae ɖe viviti tsiɖitsiɖitsiɖi me,
Whanne Y settide a cloude the hilyng therof, and Y wlappide it with derknesse, as with clothis of yong childhed.
10 esi meɖo seɖoƒe nɛ, hede ʋɔtru kple gametiwo enu,
Y cumpasside it with my termes, and Y settide a barre, and doris;
11 esi megblɔ be, ‘Afii ko nàse, mèkpɔ mɔ ato liƒo sia dzi o, afi sia ko wò dada kple ɖokuidodoɖedzi ase?’
and Y seide, `Til hidur thou schalt come, and thou schalt not go forth ferthere; and here thou schalt breke togidere thi bolnynge wawis.
12 “Èɖe gbe na ŋdi kpɔ tso esi wò ŋkekewo dze egɔme alo na fɔŋli nya eƒe nɔƒe,
Whethir aftir thi birthe thou comaundist to the bigynnyng of dai, and schewidist to the morewtid his place?

Whethir thou heldist schakynge togidere the laste partis of erthe, and schakedist awei wickid men therfro?
14 Anyigba trɔ eƒe nɔnɔme abe anyi le nutrenu te ene, eye eƒe nɔnɔme le abe avɔ tɔ ene.
A seeling schal be restorid as cley, and it schal stonde as a cloth.
15 Woxɔ ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe kekeli le wo si eye woŋe woƒe abɔ si wodo ɖe dzi.
The liyt of wickid men schal be takun awey fro hem, and an hiy arm schal be brokun.
16 “Èzɔ mɔ yi ɖe atsiaƒu ƒe vudo me alo zɔ le gogloƒe ƒe nudiƒewo kpɔa?
Whethir thou entridist in to the depthe of the see, and walkidist in the laste partis of the occian?
17 Wofia ku ƒe agbowo wò kpɔa? Èkpɔ ku ƒe vɔvɔli ƒe agbowo kpɔa?
Whether the yatis of deeth ben openyd to thee, and `siest thou the derk doris?
18 Èse anyigba ƒe kekeme gɔmea? Gblɔe nam, ne ènya esiawo katã.
Whethir thou hast biholde the brede of erthe? Schewe thou to me, if thou knowist alle thingis,
19 “Afi ka mɔ si yi kekeli ƒe nɔƒe la to? Eye afi kae nye viviti nɔƒe?
in what weie the liyt dwellith, and which is the place of derknesse;
20 Àte ŋu akplɔ wo ayi wo nɔƒewoea? Ènya toƒe si yi ɖe wo nɔƒea?
that thou lede ech thing to hise termes, and thou vndurstonde the weies of his hows.
21 Meka ɖe edzi be ènyae elabena wodzi wò ye ma ɣi xoxo! Ƒe geɖewoe nye esia esi nèle agbe!

22 “Ège ɖe sno ƒe nudzraɖoƒe alo kpɔ kpetsi ƒe nudzraɖoƒe,
Whethir thou entridist in to the tresours of snow, ether biheldist thou the tresours of hail?
23 esi meɖo ɖi na xaxaɣi, aʋaŋkekewo kple aʋakpegbe la kpɔa?
whiche thingis Y made redy in to the tyme of an enemy, in to the dai of fiytyng and of batel.
24 Afi ka mɔ si wotona yia teƒe si dzikedzo kakana le alo teƒe si wokakaa ɣedzeƒeya le ɖe anyigba blibo la dzi la to?
Bi what weie is the liyt spred abrood, heete is departid on erthe?
25 Ame kae ɖo toƒe na tsi gã siwo dzana kple mɔ na ahom sesẽwo,
Who yaf cours to the strongeste reyn,
26 be woade tsi anyigba si dzi ame mele o kple gbegbe si ame menɔ o,
and weie of the thundur sownynge? That it schulde reyne on the erthe with out man in desert, where noon of deedli men dwellith?
27 be wòaɖi kɔ na kuɖiɖinyigba gbɔlo eye wòamie gbe fɛ̃wo?
That it schulde fille a lond with out weie and desolat, and schulde brynge forth greene eerbis?
28 Fofo le tsidzadza sia? Ame kae nye tɔ na ahũdzadza?
Who is fadir of reyn, ether who gendride the dropis of deew?
29 Ame ka ƒe dɔ mee tsikpe do tso? Ame kae dzi zãmu si dzana tso dziƒo,
Of whos wombe yede out iys, and who gendride frost fro heuene?
30 esi tsiwo do kpe abe ahlihã ene eye gogloƒewo tame zu tsikpe?
Watris ben maad hard in the licnesse of stoon, and the ouer part of occian is streyned togidere.
31 “Àte ŋu abla Atifieŋu siwo le keklẽma? Àte ŋu atu Avutɔ ƒe kawoa?
Whether thou schalt mowe ioyne togidere schynynge sterris Pliades, ethir thou schalt mowe distrie the cumpas of Arturis?

Whether thou knowist the ordre of heuene, and schalt sette the resoun therof in erthe?
34 “Àte ŋu akɔ gbe dzi ado ɣli na lilikpowo, eye nàtsɔ tsiɖɔɖɔ atsyɔ ɖokuiwò dzia?
Whethir thou schalt reise thi vois in to a cloude, and the fersnesse of watris schal hile thee?
35 Wòe ɖo dzikedzo ɖe eƒe mɔ dzia? Ɖe wova gblɔna na wò be, ‘Míawoe nye esi’ mahã?
Whethir thou schalt sende leitis, and tho schulen go, and tho schulen turne ayen, and schulen seie to thee, We ben present?
36 Ame kae tsɔ nunya na dzi alo gɔmesese na susu?
Who puttide wisdoom in the entrailis of man, ethir who yaf vndurstondyng to the cok?
37 Ame ka sie nunya le be wòaxlẽ lilikpowo? Ame kae ate ŋu aviã tsizɔ siwo le dziƒo,
Who schal telle out the resoun of heuenes, and who schal make acordyng of heuene to sleep?
38 ne anyigba do kpe eye anyikɔ siwo le anyigba la lé ɖe wo nɔewo ŋu?
Whanne dust was foundid in the erthe, and clottis weren ioyned togidere?
39 “Wòe daa ade na dzatanɔ eye nèdia nuɖuɖu na dzatawo, ne dɔ le wo wum
Whether thou schalt take prey to the lionesse, and schalt fille the soulis of hir whelpis,
40 eye womlɔ woƒe dowo me alo le adeklo dzi le ave mea?
whanne tho liggen in caues, and aspien in dennes?
41 Ame kae dia nuɖuɖu na akpaviãwo, ne viawo le xɔxlɔ̃m na Mawu eye wole tsatsam le nuɖuɖu makpɔmakpɔ ta?
Who makith redi for the crowe his mete, whanne hise briddis crien to God, and wandren aboute, for tho han not meetis?
