Job 22 - Listen Online

¹ NIGBANA ni Elifasi, ara Tema, dahùn wipe,

¹ Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

² Enia le iṣe rere fun Ọlọrun, bi ọlọgbọ́n ti iṣe rere fun ara rẹ̀.

² Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?

³ Ohun ayọ̀ ha ni fun Olodumare pe, olododo ni iwọ? tabi ere ni fun u, ti iwọ mu ọ̀na rẹ pé?

³ Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him that thou makest thy ways perfect?

⁴ Yio ha ba ọ wi bi nitori ìbẹru Ọlọrun rẹ, yio ha ba ọ lọ sinu idajọ bi?

⁴ Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?

⁵ Iwa-buburu rẹ kò ha tobi, ati ẹ̀ṣẹ rẹ lainiye?

⁵ Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?

⁶ Nitõtọ iwọ gbà ohun ẹri li ọwọ arakunrin rẹ lainidi, iwọ si tú onihoho li aṣọ wọn.

⁶ For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.

⁷ Iwọ kò fi omi fun alãrẹ mu, iwọ si hawọ onjẹ fun ẹniti ebi npa.

⁷ Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.

⁸ Bi o ṣe ti alagbara nì ni, on li o ni aiye, ọlọla si tẹdo sinu rẹ̀.

⁸ But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.

⁹ Iwọ ti rán awọn opó pada lọ li ọwọ ofo, apa awọn ọmọ alainibaba ti di ṣiṣẹ́.

⁹ Thou has sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

¹⁰ Nitorina ni idẹkun ṣe yi ọ kakiri, ati ìbẹru ojiji nyọ ọ lẹnu.

¹⁰ Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;

¹¹ Tabi iwọ kò ha ri okunkun, ati ọ̀pọlọpọ omi ti o bò ọ mọlẹ?

¹¹ Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.

¹² Ọlọrun kò ha jẹ Ẹni giga ọrun? sa wò ori awọn ìrawọ̀ bi nwọn ti ga tó!

¹² Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

¹³ Iwọ si wipe, Ọlọrun ti ṣe mọ̀, on ha le iṣe idajọ lati inu awọsanma dudu wá bi?

¹³ And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?

¹⁴ Awọsanma ti o nipọn ni ibora fun u, ti kò fi le riran; o si rin ninu ayika ọrun.

¹⁴ Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.

¹⁵ Iwọ fẹ rìn ipa-ọ̀na igbani ti awọn enia buburu ti rìn.

¹⁵ Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?

¹⁶ Ti a ke lulẹ kuro ninu aiye laipé ọjọ wọn, ipilẹ wọn ti de bi odò ṣiṣàn.

¹⁶ Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:

¹⁷ Awọn ẹniti o wi fun Ọlọrun pe, Lọ kuro lọdọ wa! Kini Olodumare yio ṣe fun wọn.

¹⁷ Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?

¹⁸ Sibẹ o fi ohun rere kún ile wọn! ṣugbọn ìmọ enia-buburu jìna si mi!

¹⁸ Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

¹⁹ Awọn olododo ri i, nwọn si yọ̀, awọn alailẹ̀ṣẹ si fi wọn rẹrin ẹlẹya pe:

¹⁹ The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.

²⁰ Lotitọ awọn ọta wa ni a ke kuro, iná yio si jó iyokù wọn run.

²⁰ Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.

²¹ Fa ara rẹ sunmọ Ọlọrun, iwọ o si ri alafia; nipa eyinì rere yio wá ba ọ.

²¹ Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.

²² Emi bẹ̀ ọ, gba ofin lati ẹnu rẹ̀ wá, ki o si tò ọ̀rọ rẹ̀ si aiya rẹ.

²² Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.

²³ Bi iwọ ba yipada sọdọ Olodumare, a si gbe ọ ró, bi iwọ ba si mu ẹ̀ṣẹ jina rére kuro ninu agọ rẹ.

²³ If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.

²⁴ Ti iwọ ba tẹ wura daradara silẹ lori erupẹ ati wura ófiri labẹ okuta odò.

²⁴ Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.

²⁵ Nigbana ni Olodumare yio jẹ iṣura rẹ, ani yio si jẹ fadaka fun ọ ni ọ̀pọlọpọ.

²⁵ Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.

²⁶ Lotitọ nigbana ni iwọ o ni inu didùn ninu Olodumare, iwọ o si gbe oju rẹ soke sọdọ Ọlọrun.

²⁶ For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.

²⁷ Bi iwọ ba gbadura rẹ sọdọ rẹ̀, yio si gbọ́ tirẹ, iwọ o si san ẹ̀jẹ́ rẹ.

²⁷ Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.

²⁸ Iwọ si gbimọ ohun kan pẹlu, yio si fi idi mulẹ fun ọ; imọlẹ yio si mọ́ sipa ọ̀na rẹ.

²⁸ Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

²⁹ Nigbati ipa-ọ̀na rẹ ba lọ sisalẹ, nigbana ni iwọ o wipe, Igbesoke mbẹ! Ọlọrun yio si gba onirẹlẹ là!

²⁹ When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.

³⁰ Yio gba ẹniti kì iṣe alaijẹbi là, a o si gbà a nipa mimọ́ ọwọ rẹ.

³⁰ He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
