Job 4 - Listen Online

¹ NIGBANA ni Elifasi, ara Tema, dahùn wipe,

¹ Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

² Bi awa ba fi ẹnu le e, lati ba ọ sọrọ, iwọ o ha binujẹ? ṣugbọn tali o le pa ọ̀rọ mọ ẹnu laisọ?

² If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?

³ Kiyesi i, iwọ sa ti kọ́ ọ̀pọ enia, iwọ sa ti mu ọwọ alailera le.

³ Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.

⁴ Ọ̀rọ rẹ ti gbe awọn ti nṣubu lọ duro, iwọ si ti mu ẽkun awọn ti nwarirì lera.

⁴ Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.

⁵ Ṣugbọn nisisiyi o de ba ọ, o si rẹ̀ ọ, o kọlu ọ, ara rẹ kò lelẹ̀.

⁵ But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.

⁶ Ibẹru Ọlọrun rẹ kò ha jẹ igbẹkẹle rẹ? ati iduro ṣinṣin si ìwa ọ̀na rẹ kò ha si jẹ abá rẹ?

⁶ Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?

⁷ Emi bẹ̀ ọ ranti, tali o ṣegbe ri laiṣẹ̀, tabi nibo li a gbe ké olododo kuro ri?

⁷ Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?

⁸ Ani bi emi ti ri rí pe: awọn ti nṣe itulẹ ẹ̀ṣẹ, ti nwọn si fọ́n irugbin ìwa buburu, nwọn a si ká eso rẹ̀ na.

⁸ Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.

⁹ Nipa ifẹsi Ọlọrun nwọn a ṣegbe, nipa ẽmi ibinu rẹ̀ nwọn a parun.

⁹ By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.

¹⁰ Bibu ramuramu kiniun ati ohùn onroró kiniun ati ehin awọn ẹ̀gbọrọ kiniun li a ka.

¹⁰ The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.

¹¹ Ogbo kiniun kígbe, nitori airi ohun-ọdẹ, awọn ẹ̀gbọrọ kiniun sisanra li a tukakiri.

¹¹ The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.

¹² Njẹ nisisiyi a fi ohun lilumọ́ kan hàn fun mi, eti mi si gbà diẹ ninu rẹ̀.

¹² Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.

¹³ Ni iro inu loju iran oru, nigbati orun ìjika kun enia.

¹³ In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,

¹⁴ Ẹ̀ru bà mi ati iwarirì ti o mu gbogbo egungun mi wá pepé.

¹⁴ Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.

¹⁵ Nigbana ni iwin kan kọja lọ niwaju mi, irun ara mi dide ró ṣanṣan.

¹⁵ Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:

¹⁶ On duro jẹ, ṣugbọn emi kò le iwò apẹrẹ irí rẹ̀, àworan kan hàn niwaju mi, idakẹ rọrọ wà, mo si gbohùn kan wipe:

¹⁶ It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,

¹⁷ Ẹni kikú le jẹ olododo niwaju Ọlọrun, enia ha le mọ́ ju Ẹlẹda rẹ̀ bi?

¹⁷ Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?

¹⁸ Kiyesi i, on kò gbẹkẹle awọn iranṣẹ rẹ̀, ninu awọn angeli rẹ̀ ni o si ri ẹ̀ṣẹ.

¹⁸ Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:

¹⁹ Ambọtori awọn ti ngbe inu ile amọ̀, ẹniti ipilẹ wọn jasi erupẹ ti yio di rirun kòkoro.

¹⁹ How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?

²⁰ A npa wọn run lati òwurọ di alẹ́, nwọn gbe lailai lairi ẹni kà a si.

²⁰ They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.

²¹ A kò ha ke okùn iye wọn kuro bi? nwọn ku, ani lailọgbọn.

²¹ Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.
