Job 30 - Listen Online

¹ ṢUGBỌN nisisiyi awọn ti mo gbà li aburo nfi mi ṣẹ̀sin, baba ẹniti emi kẹgàn lati tò pẹlu awọn ajá agbo-ẹran mi.

¹ But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.

² Pẹlupẹlu agbara ọwọ wọn kini o le igbè fun mi, awọn ẹniti kikún ọjọ wọn kò si.

² Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?

³ Nitori aini ati ìyan nwọn di ẹni itakete, nwọn si girijẹ ohun jijẹ iju, ti o wà ni isọdahoro ati òfo lati lailai.

³ For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.

⁴ Awọn ẹniti njá ewe-iyọ li ẹ̀ba igbẹ, gbongbo igikigi li ohun jijẹ wọn.

⁴ Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.

⁵ A le wọn jade kuro lãrin enia, nwọn si ho le wọn bi ẹnipe si olè.

⁵ They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)

⁶ Lati gbé inu pàlapala okuta afonifoji, ninu iho ilẹ ati ti okuta.

⁶ To dwell in the clifts of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.

⁷ Ninu igbẹ ni nwọn ndún, nwọn ko ara wọn jọ pọ̀ labẹ ẹgun neteli.

⁷ Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.

⁸ Awọn ọmọ ẹniti oye kò ye, ani ọmọ awọn enia lasan, a si le wọn kuro ninu ilẹ.

⁸ They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.

⁹ Njẹ nisisiyi emi di ẹni-orin fun wọn, ani emi di ẹni-asọrọsi fun wọn.

⁹ And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.

¹⁰ Nwọn korira mi, nwọn sa kuro jina si mi, nwọn kò si dá si lati tutọ́ si mi loju.

¹⁰ They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.

¹¹ Nitoriti Ọlọrun ti tu okun-ìye mi, o si pọn mi loju; awọn pẹlu si dẹ̀ ijanu niwaju mi.

¹¹ Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.

¹² Awọn enia lasan dide li apa ọ̀tun mi, nwọn tì mi li ẹsẹ kuro, nwọn si là ipa-ọ̀na iparun silẹ dè mi.

¹² Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.

¹³ Nwọn dà ipa-ọ̀na mi rú, nwọn ran jàmba mi lọwọ, awọn ti kò li oluranlọwọ;

¹³ They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.

¹⁴ Nwọn de si mi bi yiya omi gburu, ni ariwo nla ni nwọn ko ara wọn kátì si mi.

¹⁴ They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.

¹⁵ Ẹ̀ru nla yipada bà mi, nwọn lepa ọkàn mi bi ẹfùfù, alafia mi si kọja lọ bi awọsanma.

¹⁵ Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.

¹⁶ Ati nisisiyi ọkàn mi si dà jade si mi, ọjọ ipọnju dì mi mu.

¹⁶ And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.

¹⁷ Oru gùn mi ninu egungun mi, eyiti o bù mi jẹ kò si simi.

¹⁷ My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.

¹⁸ Nipa agbara nla aṣọ mi di pipada, o si lẹmọ́ mi li ara yika bi ọrùn aṣọ ileke mi.

¹⁸ By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.

¹⁹ O ti mu mi lọ sinu ẹrẹ̀, emi si dabi ekuru ati ẽru,

¹⁹ He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.

²⁰ Emi kepè ọ, iwọ kò si gbọ́ ti emi, emi dide duro, iwọ si fi oju lile wò mi.

²⁰ I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not.

²¹ Iwọ pada di ẹni-ìka si mi, ọwọ agbara rẹ ni iwọ fi de ara rẹ li ọ̀na si mi.

²¹ Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.

²² Iwọ gbe mi soke si ẹ̀fufu, iwọ mu mi fò lọ, bẹ̃ni iwọ si sọ mi di asan patapata.

²² Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.

²³ Emi sa mọ̀ pe iwọ o mu mi lọ sinu ikú, ati si ile-apejọ fun gbogbo alãye.

²³ For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.

²⁴ Bi o ti wu ki o ṣe, ẹnikan kì yio ha nawọ rẹ̀ ni igba iṣubu rẹ̀, tabi kì yio ké ninu iparun rẹ̀.

²⁴ Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.

²⁵ Emi kò ha sọkun bi fun ẹniti o wà ninu iṣẹ, ọkàn mi kò ha bajẹ fun talaka bi?

²⁵ Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?

²⁶ Nigbati mo fojusọna fun alafia, ibi si de, nigbati emi duro de imọlẹ, òkunkun si de.

²⁶ When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.

²⁷ Ikùn mi nru, kò si simi, ọjọ ipọnju ti bá mi.

²⁷ My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.

²⁸ Emi nṣọ̀fọ lọ rinkiri laisi õrùn, emi dide duro ni awujọ, mo si kigbe.

²⁸ I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.

²⁹ Emi jasi arakunrin ajáko, emi di ẹgbẹ́ awọn abo-ogongo.

²⁹ I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.

³⁰ Àwọ mi di dudu li ara mi, egungun mi si jórun fun õru.

³⁰ My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.

³¹ Dùru mi pẹlu si di ti ọ̀fọ, ati ohun-ọnà orin mi si di ohùn awọn ti nsọkún.

³¹ My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.
