Job 38 - Listen Online

¹ NIGBANA ni OLUWA da Jobu lohùn lati inu ìji ajayika wá o si wipe,

¹ Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

² Tani eyi ti nfi ọ̀rọ aini igbiro ṣú ìmọ li òkunkun.

² Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?

³ Di ẹgbẹ ara rẹ li amure bi ọkunrin nisisiyi, nitoripe emi o bère lọwọ rẹ ki o si da mi lohùn.

³ Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

⁴ Nibo ni iwọ wà nigbati mo fi ipilẹ aiye sọlẹ? wi bi iwọ ba moye!

⁴ Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

⁵ Tali o fi ìwọn rẹ̀ lelẹ, bi iwọ ba mọ̀, tabi tani o ta okun wiwọn sori rẹ̀.

⁵ Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

⁶ Lori ibo ni a gbe kan ipilẹ rẹ̀ mọ́, tabi tali o fi okuta igun rẹ̀ le ilẹ?

⁶ Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;

⁷ Nigbati awọn irawọ owurọ jumọ kọrin pọ̀, ti gbogbo awọn ọmọ Ọlọrun nhó iho ayọ̀?

⁷ When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

⁸ Tabi tali o fi ilẹkun sé omi okun mọ́, nigbati o ya jade bi ẹnipe o ti inu tu jade wá?

⁸ Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

⁹ Nigbati mo fi awọsanma ṣe aṣọ rẹ̀, ati òkunkun ṣiṣu ṣe ọ̀ja igbanu rẹ̀?

⁹ When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

¹⁰ Ti mo ti paṣẹ ipinnu mi fun u, ti mo si ṣe bèbe ati ilẹkun.

¹⁰ And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

¹¹ Ti mo si wipe, Nihinyi ni iwọ o dé, ki o má si rekọja, nihinyi si ni igberaga riru omi rẹ yio gbe duro mọ.

¹¹ And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

¹² Iwọ paṣẹ fun owurọ lati igba ọjọ rẹ̀ wá, iwọ si mu ila-õrun mọ̀ ipo rẹ̀?

¹² Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;

¹³ Ki o le idi opin ilẹ aiye mu, ki a le gbọ̀n awọn enia buburu kuro ninu rẹ̀.

¹³ That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

¹⁴ Ki o yipada bi amọ fun edidi amọ, ki gbogbo rẹ̀ ki o si fi ara rẹ̀ hàn bi ẹnipe ninu aṣọ igunwa.

¹⁴ It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.

¹⁵ A si fa imọlẹ wọn sẹhin kuro lọdọ enia buburu, apa giga li o si ṣẹ́.

¹⁵ And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.

¹⁶ Iwọ ha wọ inu isun okun lọ ri bi? iwọ si rin lori isalẹ ibú nla?

¹⁶ Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?

¹⁷ A ha ṣilẹkun ikú silẹ fun ọ ri bi, iwọ si ri ilẹkun ojiji ikú?

¹⁷ Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?

¹⁸ Iwọ̀ moye ibú aiye bi? sọ bi iwọ ba mọ̀ gbogbo rẹ̀?

¹⁸ Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.

¹⁹ Ọ̀na wo ni imọlẹ igbé, bi o ṣe ti òkunkun, nibo ni ipò rẹ̀?

¹⁹ Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,

²⁰ Ti iwọ o fi mu u lọ si ibi àla rẹ̀, ti iwọ o si le imọ̀ ipa-ọ̀na lọ sinu ile rẹ̀?

²⁰ That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?

²¹ Iwọ mọ̀ eyi, nitoriti ni igbana ni a bi ọ? ati iye ọjọ rẹ si pọ!

²¹ Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great?

²² Iwọ ha wọ inu iṣura ojò-dídì lọ ri bí, iwọ si ri ile iṣura yinyin ri?

²² Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,

²³ Ti mo ti fi pamọ de igba iyọnu, de ọjọ ogun ati ijà.

²³ Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?

²⁴ Ọ̀na wo ni imọlẹ fi nyà, ti afẹfẹ ila-orun tàn kakiri lori ilẹ aiye?

²⁴ By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?

²⁵ Tali o la ipado fun ẹkún iṣan omi, ati ọ̀na fun manamana ãrá?

²⁵ Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;

²⁶ Lati mu u rọ̀jo sori aiye, nibiti enia kò si, ni aginju nibiti enia kò si.

²⁶ To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;

²⁷ Lati mu ilẹ tutù, ijù ati alairo, ati lati mu irudi ọmudún eweko ru jade?

²⁷ To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?

²⁸ Ojo ha ni baba bi, tabi tali o bi ikán ìsẹ-iri?

²⁸ Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?

²⁹ Lati inu tani ìdi omi ti jade wá, ati ìri didi ọrun tali o bi i?

²⁹ Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?

³⁰ Omi bò o mọlẹ bi ẹnipe labẹ okuta, oju ibú nla si dìlupọ̀.

³⁰ The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.

³¹ Iwọ le ifi ọja de awọn irawọ meje [Pleyade] tabi iwọ le itudi irawọ Orionu?

³¹ Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?

³⁶ Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?

³⁷ Tali o fi ọgbọ́n ka iye awọsanma, tali o si mu igo ọrun dàjade.

³⁷ Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,

³⁸ Nigbati erupẹ di lile, ati ogulutu dipọ̀?

³⁸ When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?

⁴⁰ Nigbati nwọn ba mọlẹ ninu iho wọn, ti nwọn si ba ni ibuba de ohun ọdẹ.

⁴⁰ When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?

⁴¹ Tani npese ohun jijẹ fun ìwo? nigbati awọn ọmọ rẹ̀ nkepe Ọlọrun, nwọn a ma fò kiri nitori aili ohun jijẹ.

⁴¹ Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.
