Job 14 - Listen Online

¹ ENIA ti a bi ninu obinrin ọlọjọ diẹ ni, o si kún fun ipọnju.

¹ Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.

² O jade wá bi itana eweko, a si ke e lulẹ, o si nfò lọ bi ojiji, kò si duro pẹ́.

² He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.

³ Iwọ si nṣiju rẹ wò iru eyinì, iwọ si mu mi wá sinu idajọ pẹlu rẹ.

³ And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?

⁴ Tali o le mu ohun mimọ́ lati inu aimọ́ jade wá? kò si ẹnikan!

⁴ Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.

⁵ Njẹ ati pinnu ọjọ rẹ̀, iye oṣu rẹ̀ mbẹ li ọwọ rẹ, iwọ ti pàla rẹ̀, bẹ̃li on kò le ikọja rẹ̀.

⁵ Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;

⁶ Yipada kuro lọdọ rẹ̀, ki o le simi titi yio fi pé ọjọ rẹ̀ bi alagbaṣe.

⁶ Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.

⁷ Nitoripe abá wà fun igi, bi a ba ke e lulẹ, pe yio si tun sọ, ati pe ẹka rẹ̀ titun, kì yio dá.

⁷ For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.

⁸ Bi gbongbo rẹ̀ tilẹ di ogbó ninu ilẹ, ti kukute rẹ̀ si kú ni ilẹ.

⁸ Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;

⁹ Sibẹ nigbati o ba gbõrùn omi, yio sọ, yio si yọ ẹka jade bi eweko.

⁹ Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.

¹⁰ Ṣugbọn enia kú, a si ṣàn danu; ani enia jọwọ ẹmi rẹ̀ lọwọ, on ha da?

¹⁰ But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?

¹¹ Bi omi ti itán ninu ipa odò, ti odò si ifà ti si igbẹ.

¹¹ As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:

¹² Bẹ̃li enia dubulẹ ti kò si dide mọ́, titi ọrun kì yio fi si mọ́, nwọn kì yio ji, a kì yio ji wọn kuro loju orun wọn.

¹² So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.

¹³ A! iwọ iba fi mi pamọ ni ipo-okú, ki iwọ ki o fi mi pamọ ni ìkọkọ, titi ibinu rẹ yio fi rekọja, iwọ iba lana igba kan silẹ fun mi, ki o si ranti mi.

¹³ O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!

¹⁴ Bi enia ba kú yio si tun yè bi? gbogbo ọjọ igba ti a là silẹ fun mi li emi o duro dè, titi amudọtun mi yio fi de.

¹⁴ If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.

¹⁵ Iwọ iba pè, emi iba si da ọ lohùn, iwọ o si ni ifẹ si iṣẹ ọwọ rẹ.

¹⁵ Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.

¹⁶ Ṣugbọn nisisiyi iwọ nkaye iṣisẹ mi, iwọ kò fà ọwọ rẹ kuro nitori ẹ̀ṣẹ mi.

¹⁶ For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?

¹⁷ A fi edidi di irekọja mi sinu àpo, iwọ si rán aiṣedede mi pọ̀.

¹⁷ My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.

¹⁸ Ati nitotọ oke nla ti o ṣubu, o dasan, a si ṣi apata kuro ni ipo rẹ̀.

¹⁸ And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place.

¹⁹ Omi a ma yinrin okuta, iwọ a si mu omi ṣàn bo ohun ti o hù jade lori ilẹ, iwọ si sọ ireti enia di ofo.

¹⁹ The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.

²⁰ Iwọ si ṣẹgun rẹ̀ lailai, on si kọja lọ iwọ pa awọ oju rẹ̀ dà, o si ran a lọ kuro.

²⁰ Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.

²¹ Awọn ọmọ rẹ̀ bọ́ si ipo ọlá, on kò si mọ̀, nwọn si rẹ̀ silẹ, on kò si kiyesi i lara wọn.

²¹ His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.

²² Ṣugbọn ẹran-ara rẹ̀ ni yio ri irora, ọkàn rẹ̀ ni yio si ma ni ibinujẹ ninu rẹ̀.

²² But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
