Job 6 - Listen Online

¹ JOBU si dahùn o si wipe,

¹ But Job answered and said,

² A! a ba le iwọ̀n ibinujẹ mi ninu òṣuwọn, ki a si le igbe ọ̀fọ mi le ori òṣuwọn ṣọkan pọ̀!

² Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!

³ Njẹ nisisiyi, iba wuwo jù iyanrin okun lọ: nitorina li ọ̀rọ mi ṣe ntàse.

³ For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.

⁴ Nitoripe ọfa Olodumare wọ̀ mi ninu, oró eyiti ọkàn mi mu; ipaiya-ẹ̀ru Ọlorun dotì mi.

⁴ For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.

⁵ Kẹtẹkẹtẹ ìgbẹ a ma dún, nigbati o ba ni koriko, tabi ọdá-malu a ma dún sori ijẹ rẹ̀?

⁵ Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?

⁶ A le jẹ ohun ti kò li adùn li aini iyọ̀, tabi adùn wà ninu funfun ẹyin?

⁶ Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?

⁷ Ohun ti ọkàn mi kọ̀ lati tọ́, on li o dàbi onjẹ mi ti kò ni adùn.

⁷ The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.

⁸ A! emi iba lè ri iberè mi gbà; ati pe, ki Ọlọrun le fi ohun ti emi ṣafẹri fun mi.

⁸ Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!

⁹ Ani, Ọlọrun iba jẹ pa mi run, ti on iba jẹ ṣiwọ rẹ̀ ki o si ké mi kuro.

⁹ Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!

¹⁰ Nigbana ni emi iba ni itunú sibẹ, ani emi iba mu ọkàn mi le ninu ibinujẹ mi ti kò da ni si: nitori emi kò fi ọ̀rọ Ẹni Mimọ́ nì sin ri.

¹⁰ Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.

¹¹ Kili agbara mi ti emi o fi dabá? ki si li opin mi ti emi o fi fà ẹmi mi gùn?

¹¹ What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?

¹² Agbara mi iṣe agbara okuta bi, tabi ẹran ara mi iṣe idẹ?

¹² Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?

¹³ Iranlọwọ mi kò ha wà ninu mi: ọgbọn ha ti salọ kuro lọdọ mi bi?

¹³ Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?

¹⁴ Ẹniti aya rẹ̀ yọ́ danu tan ni a ba ma ṣãnu fun lati ọdọ ọrẹ rẹ̀ wá, ki o má kọ̀ ibẹru Olodumare silẹ̀.

¹⁴ To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.

¹⁵ Awọn ará mi ṣẹ̀tan bi odò ṣolõ, bi iṣàn gburu omi odò ṣolõ, nwọn ṣàn kọja lọ.

¹⁵ My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;

¹⁶ Ti o dúdu nitori omi didì, ati nibiti òjo didì gbe lùmọ si.

¹⁶ Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:

¹⁷ Nigbakũgba ti nwọn ba gboná, nwọn a si yọ́ ṣanlọ, nigbati õrùn ba mú, nwọn si gbẹ kurò ni ipò wọn.

¹⁷ What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.

¹⁸ Iya ọ̀na wọn a si yipada sapakan, nwọn goke si ibi asan, nwọn si run.

¹⁸ The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.

¹⁹ Ẹgbẹ ogun Tema nwoye, awọn ọwọ́-èro Seba duro de wọn.

¹⁹ The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.

²⁰ Nwọn dãmu, nitoriti nwọn ni abá; nwọn debẹ̀, nwọn si dãmu.

²⁰ They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.

²¹ Njẹ nisisiyi, ẹnyin dabi wọn; ẹnyin ri irẹ̀silẹ mi, aiya si fò nyin.

²¹ For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.

²² Emi ha wipe, ẹ mu ohun fun mi wá, tabi pe, ẹ bun mi ni ẹ̀bun ninu ohun ini nyin?

²² Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?

²³ Tabi, ẹ gbà mi li ọwọ ọ̀ta nì, tabi, ẹ rà mi padà kuro lọwọ alagbara nì!

²³ Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?

²⁴ Ẹ kọ́ mi, emi o si pa ẹnu mi mọ́; ki ẹ si mu mi moye ibiti mo gbe ti ṣìna.

²⁴ Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.

²⁵ Wo! bi ọ̀rọ otitọ ti li agbara to! ṣugbọn kini aròye ibawi nyin jasi?

²⁵ How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?

²⁶ Ẹnyin ṣebi ẹ o ba ọ̀rọ ati ohùn ẹnu ẹniti o taku wi, ti o dabi afẹfẹ.

²⁶ Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?

²⁷ Ani ẹnyin ṣẹ́ gege fun alainibaba, ẹnyin si da iye le ọrẹ nyin.

²⁷ Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.

²⁸ Nitorina ki eyi ki o tó fun nyin: ẹ ma wò mi! nitoripe o hàn gbangba pe: li oju nyin ni emi kì yio ṣeke.

²⁸ Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.

²⁹ Emi bẹ̀ nyin, ẹ pada, ki o má ṣe jasi ẹ̀ṣẹ: ani ẹ si tun pada, are mi mbẹ ninu ọ̀ran yi.

²⁹ Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.

³⁰ Aiṣedede ha wà li ahọn mi? njẹ itọwò ẹnu mi kò kuku le imọ̀ ohun ti o burujù?

³⁰ Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?
