Job 5
1 Give now a cry for help; is there anyone who will give you an answer? and to which of the holy ones will you make your prayer?
“Ó jẹ́ pé nísinsin yìí bí ẹnìkan bá wà tí yóò dá wa lóhùn? Tàbí ta ni nínú àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ tí ìwọ ó yípadà sí?
2 For wrath is the cause of death to the foolish, and he who has no wisdom comes to his end through passion.
Nítorí pé ìbínú pa aláìmòye, ìrunú a sì pa òpè ènìyàn.
3 I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly the curse came on his house.
Èmi ti rí aláìmòye ti ó ta gbọ̀nọ́ngbọ̀nọ́n lulẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n lójúkan náà mo fi ibùjókòó rẹ̀ bú.
4 Now his children have no safe place, and they are crushed before the judges, for no one takes up their cause.
Àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ kò jìnnà sí ewu, a sì tẹ̀ wọ́n mọ́lẹ̀ lójú ibodè, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí aláàbò kan.
5 Their produce is taken by him who has no food, and their grain goes to the poor, and he who is in need of water gets it from their spring.
Ìkórè oko ẹni tí àwọn tí ebi ń pa sọ̀ di jíjẹ, tí wọ́n sì wọ inú ẹ̀gún lọ kó, àwọn ìgárá ọlọ́ṣà sì gbé ohun ìní wọn mì.
6 For evil does not come out of the dust, or trouble out of the earth;
Bí ìpọ́njú kò bá ti inú erùpẹ̀ jáde wá ni, tí ìyọnu kò ti ilẹ̀ jáde wá.
7 But trouble is man's fate from birth, as the flames go up from the fire.
Ṣùgbọ́n a bí ènìyàn sínú wàhálà, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpẹ́pẹ́ iná ti máa ń ta sókè.
8 But as for me, I would make my prayer to God, and I would put my cause before him:
“Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ṣe tèmi, ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run ní èmi yóò ti ṣìpẹ̀, ní ọwọ́ Ọlọ́run ní èmi yóò máa fi ọ̀rọ̀ mi lé.
9 Who does great things outside our knowledge, wonders without number:
Ẹni tí ó ṣe ohun tí ó tóbi tí a kò lè ṣe àwárí, ohun ìyanu láìní iye.
10 Who gives rain on the earth, and sends water on the fields:
Tí ń rọ̀jò sí orí ilẹ̀ ayé tí ó sì ń rán omi sínú ilẹ̀kílẹ̀.
11 Lifting up those who are low, and putting the sad in a safe place;
Láti gbé àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè lékè kí á lè gbé àwọn ẹni ìbànújẹ́ ga sí ibi aláìléwu.
12 Who makes the designs of the wise go wrong, so that they are unable to give effect to their purposes.
Ó yí ìmọ̀ àwọn alárékérekè po, bẹ́ẹ̀ ní ọwọ́ wọn kò lè mú ìdáwọ́lé wọn ṣẹ.
13 He takes the wise in their secret designs, and the purposes of the twisted are cut off suddenly.
Ó mú àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n nínú àrékérekè ara wọn, àti ìmọ̀ àwọn òǹrorò ní ó tì ṣubú ní ògèdèǹgbé.
14 In the daytime it becomes dark for them, and in the sunlight they go feeling about as if it was night.
Wọ́n sáré wọ inú òkùnkùn ní ọ̀sán; wọ́n sì fọwọ́ tálẹ̀ ní ọ̀sán gangan bí ẹni pé ní òru ni.
15 But he keeps safe from their sword those who have no father, and the poor from the power of the strong.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó gba tálákà là ní ọwọ́ idà, lọ́wọ́ ẹnu wọn àti lọ́wọ́ àwọn alágbára.
16 So the poor man has hope, and the mouth of the evil-doer is stopped.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìrètí wà fún tálákà, àìṣòótọ́ sì pa ẹnu rẹ̀ mọ́.
17 Truly, that man is happy who has training from the hand of God: so do not let your heart be shut to the teaching of the Ruler of all.
“Kíyèsi i, ìbùkún ni fún ẹni tí Ọlọ́run bá wí, nítorí náà, má ṣe gan ìbáwí Olódùmarè.
18 For after his punishment he gives comfort, and after wounding, his hands make you well.
Nítorí pé òun a máa pa ni lára, síbẹ̀ òun a sì tún dì í ní ìdì ìtura, ó sá lọ́gbẹ́, a sì fi ọwọ́ rẹ̀ di ojú ọgbẹ̀ náà jiná.
19 He will keep you safe from six troubles, and in seven no evil will come near you.
Yóò gbà ọ́ nínú ìpọ́njú mẹ́fà, àní nínú méje, ibi kan kì yóò bá ọ.
20 When there is need of food he will keep you from death, and in war from the power of the sword.
Nínú ìyanu yóò gbà ọ́ lọ́wọ́ ikú àti nínú ogun, yóò gbà ọ́ lọ́wọ́ idà.
21 He will keep you safe from the evil tongue; and you will have no fear of wasting when it comes.
A ó pa ọ́ mọ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ iná ahọ́n, bẹ́ẹ̀ ní ìwọ kì yóò bẹ̀rù ìparun tí ó bá dé.
22 You will make sport of destruction and need, and will have no fear of the beasts of the earth.
Ìwọ yóò rẹ́rìn-ín nínú ìparun àti ìyàn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kì yóò bẹ̀rù ẹranko ilẹ̀ ayé.
23 For you will be in agreement with the stones of the earth, and the beasts of the field will be at peace with you.
Nítorí pé ìwọ ti bá òkúta igbó mulẹ̀, àwọn ẹranko igbó yóò wà pẹ̀lú rẹ ní àlàáfíà.
24 And you will be certain that your tent is at peace, and after looking over your property you will see that nothing is gone.
Ìwọ ó sì mọ̀ pé àlàáfíà ni ibùjókòó rẹ wà, ìwọ yóò sì máa ṣe ìbẹ̀wò ibùjókòó rẹ, ìwọ kì yóò ṣìnà.
25 You will be certain that your seed will be great, and your offspring like the plants of the earth.
Ìwọ ó sì mọ̀ pẹ̀lú pé irú-ọmọ rẹ ó sì pọ̀ àti àwọn ọmọ ọmọ rẹ yóò rí bí koríko igbó.
26 You will come to your last resting-place in full strength, as the grain is taken up to the crushing-floor in its time.
Ìwọ yóò wọ isà òkú rẹ ní ògbólógbòó ọjọ́, bí síírí ọkà tí ó gbó tí á sì kó ní ìgbà ìkórè rẹ̀.
27 See, we have made search with care, and it is so; it has come to our ears; see that you take note of it for yourself.
“Kíyèsi i, àwa ti wádìí rẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀ ní ó rí! Gbà á gbọ́, kí o sì mọ̀ pé fún ìre ara rẹ ni.”
