Job 3 - Listen Online

¹ LẸHIN eyi ni Jobu yanu o si fi ọjọ ibi rẹ̀ ré.

¹ After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.

² Jobu sọ, o si wipe,

² And Job spake, and said,

³ Ki ọjọ ti a bi mi ki o di igbagbe, ati oru nì, ninu eyi ti a wipe; a loyun ọmọkunrin kan.

³ Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.

⁴ Ki ọjọ na ki o jasi òkunkun, ki Ọlọrun ki o má ṣe kà a si lati ọrun wá, bẹ̃ni ki imọlẹ ki o máṣe mọ́ si i.

⁴ Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.

⁵ Ki òkunkun ati ojiji ikú fi ṣe ti ara wọn: ki awọsanma ki o bà le e, ki iṣúdùdu ọjọ na ki o pa a laiya.

⁵ Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

⁶ Ki òkunkun ki o ṣúbo oru na biribiri, ki o má ṣe yọ̀ pẹlu ọjọ ọdun na: ki a má ṣe kà a mọ iye ọjọ oṣù.

⁶ As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.

⁷ Ki oru na ki o yàgan; ki ohùn ayọ̀ kan ki o má ṣe wọnu rẹ̀ lọ.

⁷ Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.

⁸ Ki awọn ti ifi ọjọ gegun ki o fi i gegun, ti nwọn muratan lati rú Lefiatani soke.

⁸ Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.

⁹ Ki irawọ̀ ofẽfe ọjọ rẹ̀ ki o ṣokùnkun; ki o ma wá imọlẹ, ṣugbọn ki o má si, bẹ̃ni ki o má ṣe ri afẹmọjumọ́.

⁹ Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:

¹⁰ Nitoriti kò se ilẹkun inu iya mi, bẹ̃ni kó si pa ibinujẹ mọ́ kuro li oju mi.

¹⁰ Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.

¹¹ Ẽṣe ti emi kò fi kú lati inu wá, tabi ti emi kò fi pin ẹmi nigbati mo ti inu jade wá?

¹¹ Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?

¹² Ẽṣe ti ẽkun wá pade mi, tabi ọmu ti emi o mu?

¹² Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?

¹³ Njẹ! nisisiyi, emi iba ti dubulẹ̀ jẹ, emi a si dakẹ, emi iba ti sùn: njẹ emi iba ti simi!

¹³ For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,

¹⁴ Pẹlu awọn ọba ati igbimọ aiye, ti o mọle takete fun ara wọn.

¹⁴ With kings and counsellers of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;

¹⁵ Tabi pẹlu awọn ọmọ-alade ti o ni wura, ti nwọn si fi fadakà kún inu ile wọn.

¹⁵ Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:

¹⁶ Tabi bi ọlẹ̀ ti a sin, emi kì ba ti si; bi ọmọ iṣẹnu ti kò ri imọlẹ.

¹⁶ Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.

¹⁷ Nibẹ ni ẹni-buburu ṣiwọ iyọnilẹnu, nibẹ ẹni-ãrẹ̀ wà ninu isimi.

¹⁷ There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.

¹⁸ Nibẹ ni awọn ìgbekun simi pọ̀, nwọn kò si gbohùn amunisìn mọ́.

¹⁸ There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.

¹⁹ Ati ewe ati àgba wà nibẹ, ẹru si di omnira kuro lọwọ olowo rẹ̀.

¹⁹ The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.

²⁰ Nitori kili a ṣe fi imọlẹ fun otoṣi, ati ìye fun ọlọkàn kikoro.

²⁰ Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;

²¹ Ti nwọn duro de ikú, ṣugbọn on kò wá, ti nwọn wàlẹ wá a jù fun iṣura ti a bò mọlẹ pamọ.

²¹ Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;

²² Ẹniti o yọ̀ gidigidi, ti inu wọn si dùn nigbati nwọn ba le wá isa-okú ri.

²² Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?

²³ Kili a fi imọlẹ fun ẹniti ọ̀na rẹ̀ lumọ si, ti Ọlọrun si sọgba di mọ ká?

²³ Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?

²⁴ Nitoripe imi-ẹ̀dun mi ṣaju ki nto jẹun, ikerora mi si tú jade bi omi.

²⁴ For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.

²⁵ Nitoripe ohún na ti mo bẹ̀ru gidigidi li o de ba mi yi, ẹ̀ru ohun ti mo bà li o si de si mi yi.

²⁵ For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.

²⁶ Emi kò wà lailewu rí, bẹ̃li emi kò ni isimi, bẹ̃li emi kò ni ìfaiyabalẹ, asiwá-asibọ̀ iyọnu de.

²⁶ I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
