Job 7 - Listen Online

¹ NJẸ ija kan kò ha si fun enia lori ilẹ, ọjọ rẹ̀ pẹlu kò dabi ọjọ alagbaṣe?

¹ Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?

² Bi ọmọ-ọdọ ti ima kanju bojuwo ojiji, ati bi alagbaṣe ti ima kanju wọ̀na owo iṣẹ rẹ̀.

² As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:

³ Bẹ̃li a mu mi ni oṣoṣu asan, oru idanilagãra ni a si là silẹ fun mi.

³ So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.

⁴ Nigbati mo dubulẹ̀, emi wipe, nigbawo ni emi o dide, ti oru yio si kọja? o si tó fun mi lati yi sihin yi sọhun titi yio fi di afẹmọ́jumọ.

⁴ When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.

⁵ Kòkoro ati ogulùtu erupẹ li a fi wọ̀ mi li aṣọ, àwọ mi bù, o si di sisun ni.

⁵ My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.

⁶ Ọjọ mi yara jù ọkọ̀ iwunṣọ lọ, o si di lilò li ainireti.

⁶ My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.

⁷ A! ranti pe afẹfẹ li ẹmi mi; oju mi kì yio pada ri rere mọ.

⁷ O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.

⁸ Oju ẹniti o ri mi, kì yio ri mi mọ; oju rẹ tẹ mọra mi, emi kò sí mọ́!

⁸ The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.

⁹ Bi awọ-sanma ti iparun, ti isi fò lọ, bẹ̃li ẹniti nlọ si ipò-okú, ti kì yio pada wá mọ.

⁹ As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.

¹⁰ Kì yio pada sinu ile rẹ̀ mọ, bẹ̃ni ipò rẹ̀ kì yio mọ̀ ọ mọ.

¹⁰ He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.

¹¹ Nitorina emi kì yio pa ẹnu mi mọ, emi o ma sọ ninu irora ọkàn mi, emi o ma ṣe irahùn ninu kikoro ọkàn mi.

¹¹ Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

¹² Emi ama iṣe ejo okun tabi erinmi, ti iwọ fi yàn oluṣọ tì mi?

¹² Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?

¹³ Nigbati mo wipe, ibusùn mi yio tù mi lara, itẹ mi yio gbé ẹrù irahùn mi pẹlu.

¹³ When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;

¹⁴ Nigbana ni iwọ fi alá da mi niji, iwọ si fi iran oru dẹrubà mi.

¹⁴ Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:

¹⁵ Bẹ̃li ọkàn mi yan isà okú jù aye, ikú jù egungun mi lọ.

¹⁵ So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life.

¹⁶ O su mi, emi kò le wà titi: jọwọ mi jẹ, nitoripe asan li ọjọ mi.

¹⁶ I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.

¹⁷ Kili enia ti iwọ o ma kokìki rẹ̀? ati ti iwọ iba fi gbe ọkàn rẹ le e?

¹⁷ What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?

¹⁸ Ati ti iwọ o fi ma wa ibẹ̀ ẹ wò li orowurọ̀, ti iwọ o si ma dán a wò nigbakũgba!

¹⁸ And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?

¹⁹ Yio ti pẹ́ to ki iwọ ki o to fi mi silẹ̀ lọ, ti iwọ o fi jọ mi jẹ titi emi o fi le dá itọ mi mì.

¹⁹ How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?

²⁰ Emi ti ṣẹ̀, kili emi o ṣe si ọ, iwọ Olùtọju enia? ẽṣe ti iwọ fi fi mi ṣe àmi itasi niwaju rẹ, bẹ̃li emi si di ẹrù-wuwo si ara rẹ?

²⁰ I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself?

²¹ Ẽṣe ti iwọ kò si dari irekọja mi jì, ki iwọ ki o si mu aiṣedede mi kuro? njẹ nisisiyi li emi iba sùn ninu erupẹ, iwọ iba si wá mi kiri li owurọ̀, emi ki ba ti si.

²¹ And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
