Job 24 - Listen Online

¹ ẼṢE bi igba-igba kò pamọ lọdọ Olodumare; ti awọn ojulumọ rẹ̀ kò ri ọjọ rẹ̀?

¹ Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?

² Nwọn a ṣi àmi àla ilẹ, nwọn a fi agbara ko agbo ẹran lọ, nwọn si bọ́ wọn.

² Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.

³ Nwọn a si dà kẹtẹkẹtẹ alainibaba lọ, nwọn a si gba ọdá-malu opó li ohun ògo.

³ They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.

⁴ Nwọn a bì alaini kuro loju ọ̀na, awọn talaka aiye a sa pamọ́ pọ̀.

⁴ They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.

⁵ Kiyesi i, bi kẹtẹkẹtẹ igbẹ ninu ijù ni nwọn ijade lọ si iṣẹ wọn; nwọn a tete dide lati wá ohun ọdẹ; ijù pese onjẹ fun wọn ati fun awọn ọmọ wọn.

⁵ Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.

⁶ Olukuluku a si ṣa ọka onjẹ-ẹran rẹ̀ ninu oko, nwọn a si ká ọgba-ajara enia buburu.

⁶ They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.

⁷ Nihoho ni nwọn ma sùn laini aṣọ, ti nwọn kò ni ibora ninu otutu.

⁷ They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.

⁸ Ọwara ojo oke-nla si pa wọn, nwọn si lẹ̀mọ apata nitoriti kò si abo.

⁸ They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.

⁹ Nwọn ja ọmọ-alainibaba kuro li ẹnu-ọmu, nwọn si gbà ohun ẹ̀ri li ọwọ talaka.

⁹ They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.

¹⁰ Nwọn rìn kiri nihoho laili aṣọ, awọn ti ebi npa rẹrù ìdi-ọka.

¹⁰ They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;

¹¹ Awọn ẹniti nfún ororo ninu agbala wọn, ti nwọn si ntẹ ifunti àjara, ongbẹ si ngbẹ wọn.

¹¹ Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.

¹² Awọn enia nkerora lati ilu wá, ọkàn awọn ẹniti o gbọgbẹ kigbe soke; sibẹ Ọlọrun kò kiyesi iwère na.

¹² Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.

¹³ Awọn li o wà ninu awọn ti o kọ̀ imọlẹ, nwọn kò mọ̀ ipa ọ̀na rẹ̀, bẹni nwọn kò duro nipa ọ̀na rẹ̀.

¹³ They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.

¹⁴ Panipani a dide li afẹmọ́jumọ pa talaka ati alaini, ati li oru a di olè.

¹⁴ The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.

¹⁵ Oju àlagbere pẹlu duro de ofefe ọjọ, o ni, Oju ẹnikan kì yio ri mi, o si fi iboju boju rẹ̀.

¹⁵ The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.

¹⁶ Li òkunkun nwọn a runlẹ wọle, ti nwọn ti fi oju sọ fun ara wọn li ọsan, nwọn kò mọ̀ imọlẹ.

¹⁶ In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.

¹⁷ Nitoripe bi oru dudu ni owurọ̀ fun gbogbo wọn; nitoriti nwọn si mọ̀ ibẹru oru dudu.

¹⁷ For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.

¹⁸ O yara lọ bi ẹni loju omi; ifibu ni ipin wọn li aiye, on kò rìn lọ mọ li ọ̀na ọgba-ajara.

¹⁸ He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.

¹⁹ Ọdá ati õru ni imu omi ojo-didi gbẹ, bẹ̃ni isa-okú irun awọn ẹ̀lẹṣẹ.

¹⁹ Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned.

²⁰ Inu ibímọ yio gbagbe rẹ̀, kokoro ni yio ma fi adun jẹun lara rẹ̀, a kì yio ranti rẹ̀ mọ́; bẹ̃ni a o si ṣẹ ìwa-buburu bi ẹni ṣẹ igi.

²⁰ The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.

²¹ Ẹniti o hù ìwa-buburu si agàn ti kò bí ri, ti kò ṣe rere si opó.

²¹ He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.

²² O fi ipá rẹ̀ fà alagbara lọ pẹlu; o dide, kò si ẹniti ẹmi rẹ̀ da loju.

²² He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.

²³ On si fi ìwa ailewu fun u, ati ninu eyi ni a o si tì i lẹhin, oju rẹ̀ si wà ni ipa-ọna wọn.

²³ Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways.

²⁴ A gbe wọn lekè nigba diẹ, nwọn kọja lọ, a si rẹ̀ wọn silẹ, a si mu wọn kuro li ọ̀na, bi awọn ẹlomiran, a si ke wọn kuro bi ori ṣiri itú ọkà bàbà.

²⁴ They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.

²⁵ Njẹ, bi kò ba ri bẹ̃ nisisiyi, tani yio mu mi li eké, ti yio si fi ọ̀rọ mi ṣe alainidi?

²⁵ And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
