Jòb 17
Haitian Creole Version
17 ¶ Souf mwen prèt pou koupe. Mwen pa lwen mouri. Se pou simityè ase mwen bon.
2 Kote m' vire, se moun k'ap pase m' nan betiz. Vye pawòl jouman yo enpoze m' dòmi.
3 Ou mèt kwè m', Bondye! Se ou menm ankò ki pou bay garanti pou mwen. M' pa gen pesonn lòt ki ka tope ak yo.
4 Ou fèmen lespri yo pou yo pa konprann. Pa kite yo gen rezon sou mwen.
5 Pawòl la di: Yon moun ap fè gwo fèt pou zanmi l', epi pitit li yo ap mouri grangou anndan lakay li.
6 Yo fè koze sou mwen nan pèp la. Yo vin krache nan figi m'!
7 Mwen sitèlman nan lapenn, m' pa ka louvri je m'. Mwen fin tounen zo ak po. Ata lonbraj mwen pa fè!
8 Moun k'ap mache dwat yo sezi lè yo wè sa. Inonsan yo fin debòde sou mechan an ki vire do bay Bondye.
9 Moun k'ap mennen yon vi dwat, se yo ki gen rezon. Sa ki pa mete men yo nan ankenn move zafè kanpe pi rèd sou pozisyon yo.
10 ¶ Nou tout mèt vin kanpe devan m', mwen p'ap jwenn yonn ladan nou ki gen bon konprann.
11 Mwen fin viv! Tout plan m' te gen nan tèt mwen kraze. Mwen pa gen ankenn espwa ankò.
12 Yo pretann lannwit se lajounen. Lè fènwa, yo di limyè a pa lwen.
13 Se lanmò m'ap tann. Se al kouche nan simityè ki sèl espwa m'.
14 Mwen di tonm lan ou se papa m'. Mwen di vèmen ki pral manje m' yo: nou se manman m' ak sè m'.
15 Kote ki gen espwa pou mwen ankò? Ki moun ki wè yon bon lavi pou mwen ankò?
16 Lè m'a mouri, lè m'a fin desann nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, èske m'a ka pote espwa m' yo ansanm avè m'?
Job 17
New International Version
Job 17
New International Version
17 1 My spirit(A) is broken,
my days are cut short,(B)
the grave awaits me.(C)
2 Surely mockers(D) surround me;(E)
my eyes must dwell on their hostility.
3 “Give me, O God, the pledge you demand.(F)
Who else will put up security(G) for me?(H)
4 You have closed their minds to understanding;(I)
therefore you will not let them triumph.
5 If anyone denounces their friends for reward,(J)
the eyes of their children will fail.(K)
6 “God has made me a byword(L) to everyone,(M)
a man in whose face people spit.(N)
7 My eyes have grown dim with grief;(O)
my whole frame is but a shadow.(P)
8 The upright are appalled at this;
the innocent are aroused(Q) against the ungodly.
9 Nevertheless, the righteous(R) will hold to their ways,
and those with clean hands(S) will grow stronger.(T)
10 “But come on, all of you, try again!
I will not find a wise man among you.(U)
11 My days have passed,(V) my plans are shattered.
Yet the desires of my heart(W)
12 turn night into day;(X)
in the face of the darkness light is near.(Y)
13 If the only home I hope for is the grave,(Z)
if I spread out my bed(AA) in the realm of darkness,(AB)
14 if I say to corruption,(AC) ‘You are my father,’
and to the worm,(AD) ‘My mother’ or ‘My sister,’
15 where then is my hope—(AE)
who can see any hope for me?(AF)
16 Will it go down to the gates of death?(AG)
Will we descend together into the dust?”(AH)
Job 17
King James Version
Job 17
King James Version
17 My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.
2 Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?
3 Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?
4 For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
5 He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
6 He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.
7 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
8 Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
9 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
10 But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.
11 My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
12 They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
13 If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
14 I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
15 And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
16 They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.
