Job 8 - Listen Online

¹ NIGBANA ni Bildadi, ara Ṣua, dahùn wipe,

¹ Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

² Iwọ o ti ma sọ nkan wọnyi pẹ to? ti ọ̀rọ ẹnu rẹ yio si ma dabi ẹfufu nla?

² How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?

³ Ọlọrun a ha ma yi idajọ po bi, tabi Olodumare a ma fi otitọ ṣẹ̀ bi?

³ Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?

⁴ Nigbati awọn ọmọ rẹ ṣẹ̀ si i, o si gbá wọn kuro nitori irekọja wọn.

⁴ If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;

⁵ Bi iwọ ba si kepe Ọlọrun ni igba akokò, ti iwọ bá si gbadura ẹ̀bẹ si Olodumare.

⁵ If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;

⁶ Iwọ iba mọ́, ki o si duro ṣinṣin: njẹ nitõtọ nisisiyi on o tají fun ọ, on a si sọ ibujoko ododo rẹ di pipọ.

⁶ If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.

⁷ Ipilẹṣẹ rẹ iba tilẹ kere ri, bẹ̃ni igbẹhin rẹ iba pọ̀ si i gidigidi.

⁷ Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.

⁸ Emi bẹ̀ ọ njẹ, bere lọwọ awọn ara igbãni, ki o si kiyesi iwádi awọn baba wọn.

⁸ For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:

⁹ Nitoripe ọmọ-àná li awa, a kò si mọ̀ nkan, nitoripe òjiji li ọjọ wa li aiye.

⁹ (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)

¹⁰ Awọn kì yio ha kọ́ ọ, nwọn kì yio si sọ fun ọ, nwọn kì yio si sọ̀rọ lati inu ọkàn wọn jade wá?

¹⁰ Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?

¹¹ Koriko odò ha le dàgba laini ẹrẹ̀, tabi ẽsú ha le dàgba lailomi?

¹¹ Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?

¹² Nigbati o wà ni tutù, ti a kò ke e lulẹ̀, o rọ danu sin eweko miran gbogbo.

¹² Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.

¹³ Bẹ̃ni ipa ọ̀na gbogbo awọn ti o gbagbe Ọlọrun, abá awọn àgabàgebe yio di ofo.

¹³ So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:

¹⁴ Abá ẹniti a o ke kuro, ati igbẹkẹle ẹniti o dàbi ile alantakùn.

¹⁴ Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.

¹⁵ Yio fi ara tì ile rẹ̀, ṣugbọn kì yio le iduro, yio fi di ara rẹ̀ mu ṣinṣin ṣugbọn kì yio le iduro pẹ.

¹⁵ He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.

¹⁶ O tutù niwaju õrùn, ẹka rẹ̀ si yọ jade ninu ọgbà rẹ̀.

¹⁶ He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.

¹⁷ Gbòngbo rẹ̀ ta yi ebè ka, o si wò ibi okuta wọnni.

¹⁷ His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones.

¹⁸ Bi o ba si pa a run kuro ni ipò rẹ̀, nigbana ni ipò na yio sẹ ẹ pe: emi kò ri ọ ri!

¹⁸ If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.

¹⁹ Kiyesi eyi ni ayọ̀ ọ̀na rẹ̀ ati lati inu ilẹ li omiran yio ti hù jade wá.

¹⁹ Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.

²⁰ Kiyesi i, Ọlọrun kì yio ta ẹni-otitọ nù, bẹ̃ni kì yio ràn oniwa-buburu lọwọ.

²⁰ Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:

²¹ Titi yio fi fi ẹ̀rin kún ọ li ẹnu, ati ète rẹ pẹlu iho ayọ̀.

²¹ Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.

²² Itiju li a o fi bò awọn ti o korira rẹ, ati ibujoko enia buburu kì yio si mọ.

²² They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.
