Job 20

20 ¹Then Zophar, di Naamathite man, answer say: ²"Na dis one make my mind wey no dey rest push me to answer, becos of di kata-kata wey dey inside me. ³I hear correction wey shame me, and from my sense one spirit dey push me to reply. ⁴For sure you sabi how e don dey since ancient time, since dem put mankind for di earth: ⁵di win wey wicked person dey get na small time, and di joy of person wey no get God na just one moment. ⁶Even if im proud reach di heavens and im head touch di cloud, ⁷e go perish forever, like im own shit; people wey bin don see am go ask, ‘Where e dey?’ ⁸E go fly comot like dream, dem no go fit find am again, dem go chase am comot like night vision. ⁹Di eye wey bin see am no go see am again; im place no go look am again. ¹⁰Im pikin dem go beg from poor people; im own hand go pay back im wealth. ¹¹Di young power wey full im bone go lie down with am for di dust. ¹²Even if evil sweet for im mouth and e hide am under im tongue, ¹³even if e no wan let am go and e keep am for im mouth, ¹⁴still yet im food go turn sour for im belle; e go become di poison of snake inside am. ¹⁵E swallow riches but e go vomit am comot; God go drive dem comot from im belle. ¹⁶E dey suck di poison of snake; di teeth of viper go kill am. ¹⁷E no go ever look di stream dem, di river wey dey flow with honey and milk-cream. ¹⁸E go pay back di fruit of im labour without swallow am; e no go enjoy di profit of im trade. ¹⁹Becos e crush and abandon poor people; e seize house wey e no build. ²⁰Becos im belle no sabi peace, e no go escape with di things wey e bin dey crave. ²¹Nothing remain wey e go chop; na why im prosperity no go last. ²²For di full of im plenty, wahala go catch am; di full weight of suffer go come on am. ²³When e don full im belle, God go release im hot anger against am and rain am down on am as im food. ²⁴Even if e run from iron weapon, bronze arrow go pierce am troway. ²⁵E pull am comot, and e come out from im body; di shining point comot from im gall. Fear fall on am. ²⁶Complete darkness dey wait for im treasure; fire wey nobody light go burn am and chop whatever remain for im tent. ²⁷Di heavens go expose im guilt, and di earth go rise up against am. ²⁸All di wealth of im house go carry comot, dem go sweep am away for di day of God anger. ²⁹Na dis be di share wey wicked man go get from God, di inheritance wey God set aside for am."
