Job 18
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,
Epi Bildad, Shuach la te reponn:
2 “How long will you hunt for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
“Pou jiskilè ou va chase pawòl? Montre bon sans ou pou nou kab pale.
3 Why are we counted as animals, which have become unclean in your sight?
Poukisa nou gade tankou bèt, tankou sòt nan zye ou?
4 You who tear yourself in your anger, will the earth be forsaken for you? Or will the rock be removed out of its place?
O ou menm ki chire pwòp kò ou menm nan kòlè ou, èske se pou lakoz ou menm ke tè a ta abandone, oswa wòch la deplase nan plas li?
5 “Yes, the light of the wicked will be put out. The spark of his fire will not shine.
“Anverite, limyè a mechan an va etenn, e flanm dife li pap bay limyè.
6 The light will be dark in his tent. His lamp above him will be put out.
Limyè nan tant li an vin fènwa, e lanp li etenn sou li.
7 The steps of his strength will be shortened. His own counsel will cast him down.
Gran pa dyanm li yo vin kout, e pwòp manèv li a vin desann li.
8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.
Paske li tonbe nan pèlen an akoz pwòp pye li e li mache sou file a.
9 A snare will take him by the heel. A trap will catch him.
Yon pèlen pran l pa talon, e yon filè vin fèmen sou li.
10 A noose is hidden for him in the ground, a trap for him on the path.
Yon pyèj kache pou li nan tè a, e yon zatrap sou chemen li.
11 Terrors will make him afraid on every side, and will chase him at his heels.
Patou laperèz fè l sezi e kouri dèyè l nan chak pa ke li fè.
12 His strength will be famished. Calamity will be ready at his side.
Fòs li vin epwize e gwo dega parèt akote li.
13 The members of his body will be devoured. The firstborn of death will devour his members.
Kò li devore pa maladi; premye ne lanmò a devore manm kò li yo.
14 He will be rooted out of the security of his tent. He will be brought to the king of terrors.
Li fin chire soti nan sekirite tant li an e yo pran l pou l parèt devan wa laperèz la.
15 There will dwell in his tent that which is none of his. Sulfur will be scattered on his habitation.
Anyen pa rete nan tant li ki pou li; souf gaye toupatou sou abitasyon li.
16 His roots will be dried up beneath. His branch will be cut off above.
Rasin li vin sèch anba li, e branch li fin koupe pa anwo.
17 His memory will perish from the earth. He will have no name in the street.
Memwa li fin disparèt sou tè a men li pa gen non nan okenn lòt peyi.
18 He will be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
Li bourade pouse lwen limyè a pou rive nan tenèb, e chase jis deyò mond kote moun rete a.
19 He will have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining where he lived.
Li pa gen ni desandan ni posterite pami pèp li a, ni okenn moun ki rete kote li te demere.
20 Those who come after will be astonished at his day, as those who went before were frightened.
Sila nan lwès yo vin revòlte de desten li e sila nan lès yo vin sezi ak laperèz.
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous. This is the place of him who does not know God.”
Anverite, se konsa abitasyon a mechan yo ye a. Sa se plas a sila ki pa konnen Bondye a.”
