31 ¶ Mwen te fè sèman pou m' pa janm gade yon jenn fi avèk move lide.
2 Kisa Bondye ki anwo a ap fè nou konsa? Kisa Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a sere pou nou?
3 Li voye malè pou moun ki pa mache dwat. Li voye tribilasyon pou moun k'ap fè mechanste.
4 Eske Bondye pa konnen tou sa n'ap fè? Eske li pa wè tout vire tounen m'?
5 Eske mwen janm nan bay manti? Eske mwen janm chache twonpe moun?
6 Se pou Bondye peze m' nan bon balans li a. Se pou Bondye wè jan m' toujou mache dwat.
7 Si mwen janm pran chemen kwochi pou mwen, si mwen te kite lanvi anvayi kè m', si mwen janm mete men m' nan sa ki mal,
8 se pou lòt moun rekòlte sa mwen plante. Se pou yo rache tout ti plant k'ap pouse nan jaden m'.
9 ¶ Si mwen te kite yon lòt fanm pran tèt mwen, pou m' al kache devan pòt yon frè mwen ap veye,
10 se pou madanm mwen fè manje pou yon lòt gason. Se pou lòt gason kouche avè l'.
11 Se yon gwo bagay sal mwen ta fè la a. Se bagay pou yo ta touye m'.
12 Se ta tankou yon gwo dife mwen limen pou fini avè m' nèt. Li ta boule dènye sa m' genyen.
13 Lè domestik mwen osinon sèvant mwen gen kont avè m', si mwen ta refize mete rezon an kote l' ye a,
14 kisa mwen ta fè, lè Bondye parèt devan m'? Lè l'a mande m' kont, kisa m'a reponn li?
15 Menm Bondye ki fè m' nan vant manman m' lan, se li menm tou ki fè yo nan vant manman pa yo. Se li menm ki kreye nou tout.
16 ¶ Mwen pa janm refize ede yon pòv. Ni mwen pa janm kite vèv yo nan nesesite.
17 Mwen pa janm kite timoun san papa yo rete grangou pou m'ap manje manje m' pou kont mwen.
18 Okontrè, depi m' fèt, m' sèvi ak timoun sa yo tankou papa ak pitit. Depi m' soti nan vant manman m', m'ap pran swen vèv yo.
19 Lè m' jwenn yon malere toutouni osinon yon pòv endijan san yon bout dra,
20 mwen ba yo rad pou mete sou yo, mwen pran lenn sou do mouton m' pou m' ba yo chofe.
21 Si m' te janm aji mal ak yon timoun san papa paske mwen konnen y'a toujou ban m' rezon nan tribinal,
22 enben, se pou zepòl mwen dejwente, se pou de bra m' kase.
23 Paske, mwen pè jijman Bondye. Mwen pa ka kanpe devan l'.
24 ¶ Mwen pa janm mete konfyans mwen nan lò pou m' ta di se sa k'ap pwoteje m'.
25 Mwen pa janm vante tèt mwen dèske mwen gen anpil byen, dèske mwen fè anpil lajan ak men mwen.
26 Mwen pa janm adore solèy ak lalin lè yo klere byen bèl nan syèl la.
27 Mwen pa janm pèdi tèt mwen pou m' sèvi yo an kachèt.
28 Sa a tou, yo ta mèt touye m' si m' ta fè l', paske mwen ta nye Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a.
29 Mwen pa janm kontan lè lènmi m' ap soufri. Mwen pa janm fè fèt lè malè tonbe sou yo.
30 Mwen pa janm kite bouch mwen chape pou m' ta ba yo madichon, pou m' ta rive mande lanmò pou yo.
31 Tout moun k'ap viv nan kay avè m' konnen mwen toujou byen resevwa tout moun lakay mwen.
32 Vwayajè pa janm dòmi deyò nan lari. Pòt kay mwen toujou louvri pou yo.
33 ¶ Mwen pa janm kache peche m' pou pesonn. Ni mwen pa janm fè sa ki mal an kachèt.
34 Mwen pa janm pè sa moun ap di. Mwen pa janm pè louvri bouch mwen ni pè mete pwent tèt mwen deyò, paske mwen ta pè pou moun pa lonje dwèt sou mwen.
35 Pa gen pesonn pou koute sa m'ap di la a? Mwen fin di sa pou m' di a. Koulye a, se Bondye ki pou reponn mwen. Si moun ki pa vle wè m' lan ta voye papye nan tribinal pou mwen,
36 mwen ta pote papye sa a sou zepòl mwen san ankenn wont. Mwen ta mare l' sou tèt mwen, tankou yon kouwòn.
37 Mwen ta di Bondye dènye sa mwen fè. Mwen ta kenbe tèt mwen dwat devan l'.
38 Si se vòlò mwen te vòlò tè m'ap travay la kifè koulye a tè a ap mande m' kont,
39 si mwen te manje rekòt jaden an san peye travayè yo kifè koulye a y'ap pote plent pou mwen,
40 enben, se pikan ak chadwon ki pou leve nan jaden m' kote ble ak lòj te konn pouse. Se konsa Jòb te fin pale.
Job 31
New International Version
Job 31
New International Version
31 “I made a covenant with my eyes(A)
not to look lustfully at a young woman.(B)
2 For what is our lot(C) from God above,
our heritage from the Almighty on high?(D)
3 Is it not ruin(E) for the wicked,
disaster(F) for those who do wrong?(G)
4 Does he not see my ways(H)
and count my every step?(I)
5 “If I have walked with falsehood
or my foot has hurried after deceit(J)—
6 let God weigh me(K) in honest scales(L)
and he will know that I am blameless(M)—
7 if my steps have turned from the path,(N)
if my heart has been led by my eyes,
or if my hands(O) have been defiled,(P)
8 then may others eat what I have sown,(Q)
and may my crops be uprooted.(R)
9 “If my heart has been enticed(S) by a woman,(T)
or if I have lurked at my neighbor’s door,
10 then may my wife grind(U) another man’s grain,
and may other men sleep with her.(V)
11 For that would have been wicked,(W)
a sin to be judged.(X)
12 It is a fire(Y) that burns to Destruction[a];(Z)
it would have uprooted my harvest.(AA)
13 “If I have denied justice to any of my servants,(AB)
whether male or female,
when they had a grievance against me,(AC)
14 what will I do when God confronts me?(AD)
What will I answer when called to account?(AE)
15 Did not he who made me in the womb make them?(AF)
Did not the same one form us both within our mothers?(AG)
16 “If I have denied the desires of the poor(AH)
or let the eyes of the widow(AI) grow weary,(AJ)
17 if I have kept my bread to myself,
not sharing it with the fatherless(AK)—
18 but from my youth I reared them as a father would,
and from my birth I guided the widow(AL)—
19 if I have seen anyone perishing for lack of clothing,(AM)
or the needy(AN) without garments,
20 and their hearts did not bless me(AO)
for warming them with the fleece(AP) from my sheep,
21 if I have raised my hand against the fatherless,(AQ)
knowing that I had influence in court,(AR)
22 then let my arm fall from the shoulder,
let it be broken off at the joint.(AS)
23 For I dreaded destruction from God,(AT)
and for fear of his splendor(AU) I could not do such things.(AV)
24 “If I have put my trust in gold(AW)
or said to pure gold, ‘You are my security,’(AX)
25 if I have rejoiced over my great wealth,(AY)
the fortune my hands had gained,(AZ)
26 if I have regarded the sun(BA) in its radiance
or the moon(BB) moving in splendor,
27 so that my heart was secretly enticed(BC)
and my hand offered them a kiss of homage,(BD)
28 then these also would be sins to be judged,(BE)
for I would have been unfaithful to God on high.(BF)
29 “If I have rejoiced at my enemy’s misfortune(BG)
or gloated over the trouble that came to him(BH)—
30 I have not allowed my mouth to sin
by invoking a curse against their life(BI)—
31 if those of my household have never said,
‘Who has not been filled with Job’s meat?’(BJ)—
32 but no stranger had to spend the night in the street,
for my door was always open to the traveler(BK)—
33 if I have concealed(BL) my sin as people do,[b]
by hiding(BM) my guilt in my heart
34 because I so feared the crowd(BN)
and so dreaded the contempt of the clans
that I kept silent(BO) and would not go outside—
35 (“Oh, that I had someone to hear me!(BP)
I sign now my defense—let the Almighty answer me;
let my accuser(BQ) put his indictment in writing.
36 Surely I would wear it on my shoulder,(BR)
I would put it on like a crown.(BS)
37 I would give him an account of my every step;(BT)
I would present it to him as to a ruler.(BU))—
38 “if my land cries out against me(BV)
and all its furrows are wet(BW) with tears,
39 if I have devoured its yield without payment(BX)
or broken the spirit of its tenants,(BY)
40 then let briers(BZ) come up instead of wheat
and stinkweed(CA) instead of barley.”
The words of Job are ended.(CB)

King James Version
Job 31
King James Version
31 I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
2 For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
3 Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?
4 Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
5 If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;
6 Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine integrity.
7 If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;
8 Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.
9 If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;
10 Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
11 For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
12 For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
13 If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;
14 What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
15 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?
16 If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
17 Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
18 (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)
19 If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;
20 If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
22 Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
23 For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
24 If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;
25 If I rejoice because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;
26 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;
27 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:
28 This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.
29 If I rejoice at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:
30 Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.
31 If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.
32 The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.
33 If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:
34 Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?
35 Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.
36 Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me.
37 I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.
38 If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;
39 If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:
40 Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
