Elihu tell Job say imself na only clay, nothing to fear. Im answer be say God dey talk, for dream and for pain for sickbed, to turn person back from the pit, and one mediator fit talk say: spare am, I don find ransom.
33 1"But now, Job, hear my words; listen to everytin wey I dey talk. 2Look, I don open my mouth; my tongue dey form words for my palate. 3My words dey comot from a heart wey straight, and my lips dey talk true-true wetin dem know. 4The Spirit of God na im make me, and di breeze of di Almighty dey give me life. 5Answer me, if you fit; arrange your matter for my front, and stand your ground. 6Look, I be just like you for God front; me too, na from clay dem pinch me comot. 7No fear of me suppose make you shake, and no pressure from me suppose weigh you down.
8"For true, you don talk make my ear hear—I hear di very sound of your words. 9'I dey pure, no rebellion dey me; I clean, and no guilt dey inside me. 10But still, e dey find fault for my body; e dey count me as im enemy. 11E put my leg for stocks; e dey watch all my paths.'
12"But for dis one you no correct, I dey answer you, because God big pass any human being. 13Why you dey argue against am, say e no dey answer any of person im words? 14Because God dey talk for one way, and then anoda way, even doh nobody dey notice am. 15For dream, for vision of di night, when deep sleep fall on people as dem dey sleep for dia bed, 16na then e dey open dia ears and press im warnings inside dem, 17to turn person from bad way and to keep man from pride, 18e dey hold dia soul back from di pit, dia life from perishing by sword.
19"E dey also correct person wit pain for im bed, wit im bones wey dey ache no stop, 20so tey im life come hate bread, and im soul di sweetest food. 21Im flesh dey waste comot, and im bones, wey bin hide before, come dey stick out. 22Im soul dey near di pit, and im life to dem wey dey bring death.
23"If messenger dey for am, one wey go stand between—one out of 1,000—to tell person wetin dey right for am, 24and e show am kindness and talk say, 'Save am from going down to di pit; I don find ransom,' a a v24 The ransom wey dey deliver soul from di pit dey point pass Elihu im words go di ransom wey our Papa go one day provide for inside Jesus, wey give im life as ransom for plenty people. 25na then im flesh go fresh pass pikin own; e go return to di days of im young age. 26E pray to God, and God accept di one wey dey worship am; di worshiper see God face wit shout of joy, and God restore im correct-and-holy way to dat person. 27E dey sing for people front and talk say, 'I sin and twist wetin bin dey right, but e no pay me back for am. 28E redeem my soul from going down to di pit, and I go see di light.'
29"Look, God dey do all dis tins again and again wit person, 30to bring im soul back from di pit, so dat e go shine wit di light of di living.
31"Pay attention, Job; listen to me. Keep quiet, and I go talk. 32If you get anytin to talk, answer me; talk, because I go gladly like to see you cleared. 33If not, then listen to me; keep quiet, and I go teach you wisdom."
