Jòb 27
1 Alò, Job te kontinye diskou li. Li te di:
Job replied again [to his three friends],
2 Kon Bondye viv la, ki te retire dwa m, Toupwisanki te fè m gen nanm anmè a,
“Almighty God has refused to treat me justly/fairly. He has caused me to feel bitter/resentful. But [just as surely] as he lives,
3 paske tan lavi toujou nan mwen. Souf Bondye la nan nen m.
as long as God’s Spirit enables me to breathe,
4 Lèv mwen, anverite, p ap pale sa ki pa dwat, ni lang mwen pa p pale manti.
I will not lie; I [SYN] will not say anything to deceive anyone.
5 Fòk se lwen m pou m ta bay ou rezon. Jiskaske m mouri, mwen p ap lage entegrite m.
I will never admit that what you [three] have said is true; until the day that I die, I will insist that I have not done things that are wrong.
6 Mwen kenbe fèm a ladwati mwen. Mwen p ap lage l menm. Kè m pa repwoche m depi gen lavi ladan m.
I will say that I am innocent, and never (say anything different/change what I say); my conscience will never reproach me as long as I live.
7 “Kite lènmi m kapab tankou mechan a. Kite sila ki leve kont mwen, san jistis.
“I want my enemies to be [punished] like all wicked [people are punished]; I want [God to punish] those who oppose me like [he punishes all] unrighteous [people].
8 Paske ki espwa sila ki san Bondye a genyen lè l koupe retire nèt, lè Bondye fè l oblije bay lavi li?
When [it is time for] God [to] get rid of godless/wicked people and [to] cause them to die, there is absolutely nothing good [RHQ] that they can confidently expect [to happen to them].
9 Èske Bondye va tande kri li lè malè rive li?
When they experience troubles, (will God hear them call [out to him for help]?/God certainly will not hear them call out [to him for help].) [RHQ]
10 Èske li va pran plezi nan Toupwisan an? Èske li va rele non Bondye a nan tout tan sa yo?
(Will they be happy about what Almighty [God] does?/They certainly will not be happy about what Almighty [God] does.) [RHQ] (Will they [begin to] pray to him frequently?/They certainly will not [begin to] pray to him frequently.) [RHQ] [Certainly not!]
11 Mwen va enstwi ou nan pwisans Bondye. Pwojè Toupwisan an, mwen p ap kache l.
“I will teach you [three] something about the power [MTY] of Almighty God [MTY]; I will reveal what he is thinking.
12 Gade byen, nou tout gen tan wè sa. Ebyen, poukisa nou aji nan foli?
But you [three] have seen for yourselves [what God has done]; so (why are you saying such nonsense?/you should not be saying such nonsense.) [RHQ]
13 “Sa se pòsyon a moun mechan an ki va sòti Bondye, ak eritaj ke mechan yo va resevwa nan men Toupwisan an.
“[I will tell you] what Almighty God does to wicked people, the things that he does to people who oppress others.
14 Malgre fis li yo anpil, yo destine pou nepe. Konsa, desandan li yo ap toujou manke pen.
[Even] if they have many children, [many of] those children will die in wars [MTY], and their [other] children will [die because they do] not have enough food to eat.
15 Sila ki swiv li yo va antere nan lamò e vèv li yo p ap kriye pou li.
Their children who are still alive will die from diseases, and their widows will not [even] mourn for them.
16 Malgre li fè gwo pil ajan an vin tankou se tè e prepare vètman anpil tankou ajil,
Sometimes [wicked people] accumulate a huge amount [SIM] of silver and pile up clothes like [SIM] those clothes were a pile of clay,
17 li kab prepare l, men se moun ladwati yo k ap mete li, se inosan yo k ap divize ajan an.
but [those wicked people will die, and then] righteous people will wear those clothes, and honest/innocent people will get their silver and divide it [among themselves].
18 Li te bati kay li tankou papiyon, oswa tankou kay poto gadyen te fè.
The houses that they build are [as frail/fragile] as [SIM] spider webs, or they are like flimsy huts that watchmen live in [while they guard people’s fields].
19 Li kouche byen rich, men li pa janm vin genyen ankò; li ouvri zye li, men li pa la.
Wicked people are rich when they lie down [at night], but when they wake up [in the morning, they find out that] their money has disappeared.
20 Gwo laperèz yo rive pran l tankou yon flèv. Yon move tan vole retire l pandan lannwit.
“Things that terrify them [PRS] strike them like a flood [SIM]; during the night a whirlwind carries them away.
21 Van lès la pote l ale e li pati. Li fè l vire tounen kite plas li.
[It is as though] the wind from the east picks them up and carries them away from their homes, and they disappear.
22 Paske l ap plonje sou li san epanye, pandan li eseye envite l chape nan men l.
That wind strikes them without pitying them while they are running away, trying to escape from its force/power [MTY].
23 Pèp la va bat men yo sou li. Yo va sifle sou li kon koulèv, pou li kite plas li a.”
That wind [is like someone] clapping his hands [MET] at them [to ridicule them], howling at them wherever they run to.”
