Job 16 - Listen Online

¹ NIGBANA ni Jobu dahùn o si wipe,

¹ Then Job answered and said,

² Emi ti gbọ́ iru ohun pipọ bẹ̃ ri; ayọnilẹnu onitunu enia ni gbogbo nyin.

² I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.

³ Ọ̀rọ asan lè ni opin? tabi kili o gbó ọ laiya ti iwọ fi dahùn.

³ Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?

⁴ Emi pẹlu le isọ bi ẹnyin, bi ọkàn nyin ba wà ni ipò ọkàn mi, emi le iko ọ̀rọ pọ̀ si nyin li ọrùn, emi a si mì ori mi si nyin.

⁴ I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.

⁵ Emi iba fi ọ̀rọ ẹnu mi gbà nyin ni iyanju, ati ṣiṣi ète mi iba si tu ibinujẹ nyin.

⁵ But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.

⁶ Bi emi tilẹ sọ̀rọ ibinujẹ mi kò rù; bi mo si tilẹ dakẹ, nibo li itunu mi de?

⁶ Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?

⁷ Ṣugbọn nisisiyi, o da mi lagara, iwọ (Ọlọrun) mu gbogbo ẹgbẹ mi takete.

⁷ But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.

⁸ Iwọ si fi ikiweje kún mi lara, ti o jẹri tì mi; ati rirù ti o yọ lara mi, o jẹri tì mi li oju.

⁸ And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.

⁹ Ibinu rẹ̀ li o fà mi ya, o si ṣọta mi; o pa ehin rẹ̀ keke si mi, ọta mi si gboju rẹ̀ si mi.

⁹ He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.

¹⁰ Nwọn ti fi ẹnu wọn yán si mi, nwọn gbá mi li ẹrẹkẹ ni igbá ẹ̀gan, nwọn kó ara wọn jọ pọ̀ si mi.

¹⁰ They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.

¹¹ Ọlọrun ti fi mi le ọwọ ẹni-buburu, o si mu mi ṣubu si ọwọ enia ẹlẹṣẹ.

¹¹ God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.

¹² Mo ti joko jẹ, ṣugbọn o fa mi já o si dì mi li ọrùn mu, o si gbọ̀n mi tutu, o si gbe mi kalẹ ṣe àmi itasi rẹ̀.

¹² I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.

¹³ Awọn tafatafa rẹ̀ duro yi mi kakiri; o là mi laiya pẹ̀rẹ kò si dasi, o si tú orõrò ara mi dà silẹ.

¹³ His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.

¹⁴ Ibajẹ lori ibajẹ li o fi ba mi jẹ; o sure kọlù mi bi òmirán.

¹⁴ He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.

¹⁵ Mo rán aṣọ-apo bò ara mi, mo si rẹ̀ iwo mi silẹ ninu erupẹ.

¹⁵ I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.

¹⁶ Oju mi ti pọ́n fun ẹkún, ojiji ikú si ṣẹ si ipenpeju mi.

¹⁶ My face is foul with weeping, and my eyelids is the shadow of death;

¹⁷ Kì iṣe nitori aiṣotitọ kan li ọwọ mi, adura mi si mọ́ pẹlu.

¹⁷ Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.

¹⁸ A! ilẹ aiye, iwọ máṣe bò ẹ̀jẹ mi, ki ẹkún mi máṣe ni ipò kan.

¹⁸ O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.

¹⁹ Njẹ nisisiyi kiyesi i! ẹlẹri mi mbẹ li ọrun, ẹri mi si mbẹ loke ọrun.

¹⁹ Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.

²⁰ Awọn ọre mi nfi mi ṣẹ̀sin, ṣugbọn oju mi ndà omije sọdọ Ọlọrun.

²⁰ My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.

²¹ Ibaṣepe ẹnikan le ma ṣe alagbawi fun ẹnikeji lọdọ Ọlọrun, bi enia kan ti iṣe alagbawi fun ẹnikeji rẹ̀.

²¹ O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!

²² Nitori nigbati iye ọdun diẹ rekọja tan, nigbana ni emi o lọ si ibi ti emi kì yio pada bọ̀.

²² When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
