Job 34

34 ¹Den Elihu continue talk sey: ²"Make una hear my words, una wise men; make una give ear give me, una wey get sabi. ³Bicos di ear dey test words as di mouth dey taste food. ⁴Make we choose wetin correct; make we sabi among wiself wetin good. ⁵Bicos Job don talk sey, 'I dey for correct-and-holy way, but God don comot my justice; ⁶even doh I dey right, dem count me as liar; my wound no fit heal, even doh I no do any rebellion.' ⁷Which man be like Job, wey dey drink mockery like water, ⁸wey dey waka wit pipo wey dey do evil an dey follow wicked men waka? ⁹Bicos e don talk sey, 'Man no dey gain anytin by finding joy for God.' ¹⁰So make una hear me, una men wey get understanding: e no fit be for God to do wickedness, an for di Almighty to do wrong. ¹¹Bicos according to di work of a man, na so e dey pay am back, an according to im ways, na so e dey bring am for im head. ¹²For true, God no go do wickedness, an di Almighty no go turn justice upside down. ¹³Who give am charge over di earth, an who put di whole world for im hand? ¹⁴If e go set im heart on man an pull back im spirit an im breath, ¹⁵all flesh go perish togeda, an man go go back to dust. ¹⁶If you get understanding, hear dis; listen to di sound of my words. ¹⁷Person wey hate justice, e fit rule? You go condemn di one wey dey correct-and-holy an mighty, ¹⁸di one wey dey talk to king sey, 'You worthless one,' an to nobles sey, 'Una wicked men,' ¹⁹wey no dey show favouritism to princes, an no dey regard di rich pass di poor, bicos dem all na di work of im hands? ²⁰For one small moment dem dey die; for middle of di night pipo dey shake an pass away, an dem dey comot di mighty ones witout any human hand. ²¹Bicos im eyes dey on di ways of a man, an e dey see all im steps. ²²No darkness or deep shadow dey wey pipo wey dey do evil fit hide dembody. ²³Bicos God no need to consider a man further, before e go stand before God for judgment. ^a a v23 Wetin Elihu dey talk be sey: God no need any formal hearing or set appointment before e go bring judgment — e just dey act. ²⁴E dey break di mighty ones to pieces witout inquiry an e dey put oda pipo for dia place. ²⁵So, as e sabi dia works, e dey turn dem upside down for di night, an dem dey crush. ²⁶E dey strike dem for dia wickedness for di sight of pipo wey dey look, ²⁷bicos dem turn comot from following am an dem no regard any of im ways, ²⁸so dat dem push di poor make dem cry out to am, an e hear di cry of di pipo wey dey suffer. ²⁹Wen e dey quiet, who fit condemn? Wen e hide im face, who fit see am—weda na nation or na man, ³⁰so dat no godless man go reign or set trap for di pipo. ³¹Bicos abi person don talk to God sey, 'I don carry my punishment; I no go offend again; ³²teach me wetin I no dey see; if I don do wrong, I no go do am again'? ³³E go pay you back on your own terms bicos you reject im correction? Bicos na you must choose, no be me; so make you declare wetin you sabi. ³⁴Men wey get understanding go talk to me, an every wise man wey dey hear me go talk sey, ³⁵'Job dey talk witout knowledge; im words no get insight.' ³⁶If only dem for test Job reach di limit becos e dey answer like wicked men! ³⁷Bicos e dey add rebellion to im sin; e dey mock us for open an dey pile up im words against God."
