Job 28 - Listen Online

¹ NITOTỌ ipa-ilẹ fàdaka mbẹ, ati ibi ti nwọn a ma idà wura.

¹ Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.

² Ninu ilẹ li a gbe nwà irin, bàba li a si ndà lati inu okuta wá.

² Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.

³ Enia li o pari òkunkun, o si ṣe awari okuta òkunkun ati ti inu ojiji ikú si iha gbogbo.

³ He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.

⁴ Nwọn wá iho ilẹ ti o jìn si awọn ti o ngbe oke, awọn ti ẹsẹ enia gbagbe nwọn rọ si isalẹ, nwọn rọ si isalẹ jina si awọn enia.

⁴ The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.

⁵ Bi o ṣe ti ilẹ ni, ninu rẹ̀ ni onjẹ ti ijade wá, ati ohun ti o wà nisalẹ li o yi soke bi ẹnipe iná.

⁵ As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.

⁶ Okuta ibẹ ni ibi okuta Safiri, o si ni erupẹ wura.

⁶ The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.

⁷ Ipa ọ̀na na ni ẹiyẹ kò mọ̀, ati oju gunugun kò ri i ri.

⁷ There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen:

⁸ Awọn ọmọ kiniun kò rin ibẹ rí, bẹ̃ni kiniun ti nké ramuramu kò kọja nibẹ rí.

⁸ The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.

⁹ O fi ọwọ rẹ̀ le akọ apata, o yi oke-nla po lati idi rẹ̀ wá.

⁹ He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.

¹⁰ O si la ipa-odò ṣiṣàn ninu apata, oju rẹ̀ si ri ohun iyebiye gbogbo.

¹⁰ He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.

¹¹ O si sé iṣàn odò ki o má ṣe kún akunya, o si mu ohun ti o lumọ hàn jade wá si imọlẹ.

¹¹ He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.

¹² Ṣugbọn nibo li a o gbe wá ọgbọ́n ri, nibo si ni ibi oye?

¹² But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?

¹³ Enia kò mọ̀ iye rẹ̀, bẹ̃li a kò le iri i ni ilẹ awọn alãyè.

¹³ Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.

¹⁴ Ọgbun wipe, kò si ninu mi, omi-okun si wipe, kò si ninu mi.

¹⁴ The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.

¹⁵ A kò le fi wura rà a, bẹ̃li a kò le ifi òṣuwọn wọ̀n fadaka ni iye rẹ̀.

¹⁵ It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.

¹⁶ A kò le fi wura Ofiri diyele e, pẹlu okuta oniksi iyebiye, ati okuta Safiri.

¹⁶ It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.

¹⁷ Wura ati okuta kristali kò to ẹgbẹ́ rẹ̀, bẹ̃li a kò le fi ohun èlo wura ṣe paṣiparọ rẹ̀.

¹⁷ The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.

¹⁸ A kò le idarukọ iyun tabi okuta perli; iye ọgbọ́n si jù okuta rubi lọ.

¹⁸ No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.

¹⁹ Okuta topasi ti Etiopia kò tó ẹgbẹ́ rẹ̀, bẹ̃li a kò le ifi wura daradara diye le e.

¹⁹ The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.

²⁰ Nibo ha li ọgbọn ti jade wá; tabi nibo ni ibi oye?

²⁰ Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?

²¹ A ri pe, o lumọ kuro li oju awọn alãyè gbogbo, o si fara sin fun ẹiyẹ oju ọrun.

²¹ Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.

²² Ibi iparun (Abaddoni) ati ikú wipe, Awa ti fi etí wa gburo rẹ̀.

²² Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.

²³ Ọlọrun li o moye ipa ọ̀na rẹ̀, o si mọ̀ ipo rẹ̀,

²³ God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.

²⁴ Nitoripe o woye de opin aiye, o si ri gbogbo isalẹ ọrun.

²⁴ For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;

²⁵ Lati dà òṣuwọn fun afẹfẹ, o si fi òṣuwọn wọ̀n omiyomi.

²⁵ To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.

²⁶ Nigbati o paṣẹ fun òjo, ti o si la ọ̀na fun mànamana ãrá:

²⁶ When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:

²⁷ Nigbana li o ri i, o si sọ ọ jade, o pèse rẹ̀ silẹ, ani o si wadi rẹ̀ ri.

²⁷ Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.

²⁸ Ati fun enia li o wipe, kiyesi i; Ẹru Oluwa, eyi li ọgbọ́n, ati lati jade kuro ninu ìwa-buburu eyi li oye!

²⁸ And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
