Job 11 - Listen Online

¹ NIGBANA ni Sofari, ara Naama, dahùn o si wipe,

¹ Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

² A le iṣe ki a má ṣe dahùn si ọ̀pọlọpọ ọ́rọ, a ha si le dare fun ẹniti ẹnu rẹ̃ kún fun ọ̀rọ sisọ?

² Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?

³ Amọ̀tan rẹ le imu enia pa ẹnu wọn mọ bi? bi iwọ ba yọṣuti si ni, ki ẹnikẹni ki o má si doju tì ọ bi?

³ Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?

⁴ Nitori iwọ sa ti wipe, ọ̀rọ ẹkọ́ mi mọ́, emi si mọ́ li oju rẹ.

⁴ For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.

⁵ Ṣugbọn o ṣe! Ọlọrun iba jẹ sọ̀rọ, ki o si ya ẹnu rẹ̀ si ọ lara.

⁵ But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;

⁶ Ki o si fi aṣiri ọgbọ́n hàn ọ pe, o pọ̀ jù oye enia lọ; nitorina mọ̀ pe: Ọlọrun kò bere to bi ẹbi rẹ.

⁶ And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.

⁷ Iwọ ha le fi awari ri idi Ọlọrun? iwọ le ri idi Olodumare de pipé rẹ̀?

⁷ Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?

⁸ O dabi giga ọrun, kini iwọ le iṣe? o jinlẹ jù ipo-okú lọ, kini iwọ le imọ̀?

⁸ It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?

⁹ Ìwọn rẹ̀ gùn jù aiye lọ, o si ni ìbu jù okun lọ.

⁹ The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.

¹⁰ Bi on ba rekọja, ti o si sénà, tabi ti o si ṣe ikojọpọ, njẹ tani yio da a pada kuro?

¹⁰ If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?

¹¹ On sa mọ̀ enia asan, o ri ìwa-buburu pẹlu, on kò si ni ṣe lãlã lati ṣà a rò.

¹¹ For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?

¹² Enia lasan a sa ma fẹ iṣe ọlọgbọ́n, bi a tilẹ ti bi enia bi ọmọ kẹtẹkẹtẹ.

¹² For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.

¹³ Bi iwọ ba tun ọkàn rẹ ṣe, ti iwọ si nawọ rẹ sọdọ rẹ̀.

¹³ If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;

¹⁴ Bi aiṣedede kan ba mbẹ lọwọ rẹ, mu u kuro si ọ̀na jijin rére, máṣe jẹ ki iwàkiwa kó wà ninu agọ rẹ.

¹⁴ If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.

¹⁵ Nigbana ni iwọ o gbe oju rẹ soke laini abawọn, ani iwọ o duro ṣinṣin, iwọ kì yio si bẹ̀ru.

¹⁵ For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:

¹⁶ Nitoripe iwọ o gbagbe òṣi rẹ, iwọ o si ranti rẹ̀ bi omi ti o ti ṣàn kọja lọ.

¹⁶ Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:

¹⁷ Ọjọ aiye rẹ yio si mọlẹ jù ọsan gangan lọ, bi okunkun tilẹ bò ọ mọlẹ nisisiyi, iwọ o dabi owurọ̀.

¹⁷ And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.

¹⁸ Iwọ o si wà lailewu, nitoripe ireti wà, ani iwọ o rin ilẹ rẹ wò, iwọ o si simi li alafia.

¹⁸ And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.

¹⁹ Iwọ o si dubulẹ pẹlu kì yio si sí ẹniti yio dẹ̀ruba ọ, ani ọ̀pọ enia yio ma wá oju-rere rẹ.

¹⁹ Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.

²⁰ Ṣugbọn oju eniakenia yio mófo, nwọn kì yio le sala, ireti wọn a si dabi ẹniti o jọwọ ẹmi rẹ̀ lọwọ.

²⁰ But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
