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