Job
23 Then Job replied:
2 “Even today my complaint(A) is bitter;(B)
his hand[a] is heavy in spite of[b] my groaning.(C)
3 If only I knew where to find him;
if only I could go to his dwelling!(D)
4 I would state my case(E) before him
and fill my mouth with arguments.(F)
5 I would find out what he would answer me,(G)
and consider what he would say to me.
6 Would he vigorously oppose me?(H)
No, he would not press charges against me.(I)
7 There the upright(J) can establish their innocence before him,(K)
and there I would be delivered forever from my judge.(L)
8 “But if I go to the east, he is not there;
if I go to the west, I do not find him.
9 When he is at work in the north, I do not see him;
when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him.(M)
10 But he knows the way that I take;(N)
when he has tested me,(O) I will come forth as gold.(P)
11 My feet have closely followed his steps;(Q)
I have kept to his way without turning aside.(R)
12 I have not departed from the commands of his lips;(S)
I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.(T)
13 “But he stands alone, and who can oppose him?(U)
He does whatever he pleases.(V)
14 He carries out his decree against me,
and many such plans he still has in store.(W)
15 That is why I am terrified before him;(X)
when I think of all this, I fear him.(Y)
16 God has made my heart faint;(Z)
the Almighty(AA) has terrified me.(AB)
17 Yet I am not silenced by the darkness,(AC)
by the thick darkness that covers my face.
Jòb 23

Jòb 23
Haitian Creole Version
23 ¶ Lè sa a, Jòb pran lapawòl, li di konsa:
2 -Fwa sa a ankò, m'ap kenbe tèt ak Bondye, m'ap plenyen nan pye l'. Se plenn m'ap plenn pou sa m'ap pase anba men l'.
3 Si m' te ka konnen kote pou m' jwenn li, mwen ta rive kote l' ye a.
4 M' ta defann kòz mwen devan li. M' ta di l' dènye sa ki nan lide m' pou defann tèt mwen.
5 M' ta konnen jan l'ap reponn mwen, m' ta tande sa l'ap di m'.
6 Eske Bondye tapral sèvi ak tout fòs li pou diskite avè m'? Non. Li ta rete koute m' ase.
7 Li ta wè moun k'ap pale avè l' la se yon moun ki toujou mache dwat. Li menm k'ap jije m' lan, li ta rekonèt mwen inonsan.
8 ¶ M' ale bò solèy leve, Bondye pa la. M' ale bò solèy kouche, mwen pa wè l' tou.
9 Mwen moute nan nò al chache l', m' pa wè l'. Mwen desann nan sid, bichi!
10 Men, Bondye konnen tout ti vire tounen mwen. Si li sonde m', l'a wè m' bon tankou bon lò ki pase nan dife.
11 M' mache pye pou pye dèyè l'. M' swiv chemen li mete devan m' lan. M' pa janm devire ni adwat ni agoch.
12 Mwen toujou fè tou sa li bay lòd fè. Mwen te fè volonte l', mwen pa fè sa m' te gen nan tèt mwen.
13 ¶ Men, lè Bondye fin deside yon bagay, ki moun ki ka fè l' chanje lide? Ki moun ki ka enpoze l' fè sa li vle fè a?
14 L'ap toujou fè m' sa li vle fè m' lan. Sa se yonn nan tout bagay li deside fè yo.
15 Se poutèt sa, m'ap tranble devan l'. Lè m' chonje sa, mwen soti pè l'.
16 Men wi, se Bondye k'ap kraze kouraj mwen. Se Bondye menm mwen soti pè. Se pa fènwa a.
17 Fènwa a kache Bondye pou m' pa wè l'. L' enpoze m' santi prezans li. Se tout!
