Job 24
1 Why are not times treasured up with the Almighty? why do not they that know him see his days?
“Ṣe bí ìgbà kò pamọ́ lọ́dọ̀ Olódùmarè fún ìdájọ́? Èéṣe tí ojúlùmọ̀ rẹ̀ kò fi rí ọjọ́ rẹ̀?
2 They remove the landmarks; they violently take away the flocks and pasture them;
Wọ́n a sún àmì ààlà ilẹ̀, wọ́n á fi agbára kó agbo ẹran lọ, wọ́n a sì bọ́ wọn.
3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge;
Wọ́n á sì da kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ aláìní baba lọ, wọ́n a sì gba ọ̀dá màlúù opó ní ohun ògo.
4 They turn the needy out of the way: the afflicted of the land all hide themselves.
Wọ́n á bi aláìní kúrò lójú ọ̀nà, àwọn tálákà ayé a fi agbára sá pamọ́.
5 Lo, [as] wild asses in the desert, they go forth to their work, seeking early for the prey: the wilderness [yieldeth] them food for [their] children.
Kíyèsi i, bí i kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ igbó nínú ijù ni àwọn tálákà jáde lọ sí iṣẹ́ wọn, wọ́n a tètè dìde láti wá ohun ọdẹ; ijù pèsè oúnjẹ fún wọn àti fún àwọn ọmọ wọn.
6 They reap in the field the fodder thereof, and they gather the vintage of the wicked;
Olúkúlùkù a sì sá ọkà oúnjẹ ẹran rẹ̀ nínú oko, wọn a sì ká ọgbà àjàrà ènìyàn búburú.
7 They pass the night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold;
Ní ìhòhò ni wọn máa sùn láìní aṣọ, tí wọn kò ní ìbora nínú òtútù.
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and for want of a shelter embrace the rock...
Ọ̀wààrà òjò òkè ńlá sì pa wọ́n, wọ́n sì lẹ̀ mọ́ àpáta nítorí tí kò sí ààbò.
9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor:
Wọ́n já ọmọ aláìní baba kúrò ní ẹnu ọmú, wọ́n sì gbà ọmọ tálákà nítorí gbèsè.
10 These go naked without clothing, and, hungry, they bear the sheaf;
Wọ́n rìn kiri ní ìhòhò láìní aṣọ; àwọn tí ebi ń pa rẹrù ìdì ọkà.
11 They press out oil within their walls, they tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
Àwọn ẹni tí ń fún òróró nínú àgbàlá wọn, tí wọ́n sì ń tẹ ìfúntí àjàrà, síbẹ̀ òǹgbẹ sì ń gbẹ wọn.
12 Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out; and God imputeth not the impiety.
Àwọn ènìyàn ń kérora láti ìlú wá, ọkàn àwọn ẹni tí ó gbọgbẹ́ kígbe sókè fún ìrànlọ́wọ́ síbẹ̀ Ọlọ́run kò kíyèsi àṣìṣe náà.
13 There are those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
“Àwọn ni ó wà nínú àwọn tí ó ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí ìmọ́lẹ̀, wọn kò mọ̀ ipa ọ̀nà rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò dúró nípa ọ̀nà rẹ̀.
14 The murderer riseth with the light, killeth the afflicted and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
Apànìyàn a dìde ní àfẹ̀mọ́júmọ́, a sì pa tálákà àti aláìní, àti ní òru a di olè.
15 And the eye of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me; and he putteth a covering on [his] face.
Ojú alágbèrè pẹ̀lú dúró kí ilẹ̀ ṣú díẹ̀; ‘Ó ní, ojú ẹnìkan kì yóò rí mi,’ ó sì fi ìbòjú bojú rẹ̀.
16 In the dark they dig through houses; by day they shut themselves in; they know not the light:
Ní òkùnkùn wọn á rúnlẹ̀ wọlé, tí wọ́n ti fi ojú sọ fún ara wọn ní ọ̀sán, wọn kò mọ̀ ìmọ́lẹ̀.
17 For the morning is to them all [as] the shadow of death; for they are familiar with the terrors of the shadow of death.
Nítorí pé bí òru dúdú ní òwúrọ̀ fún gbogbo wọn; nítorí tí wọn sì mọ̀ ìbẹ̀rù òkùnkùn.
18 He is swift on the face of the waters; their portion is cursed on the earth: he turneth not unto the way of the vineyards.
“Ó yára lọ bí ẹni lójú omi; ìpín wọn ní ilé ayé ni a ó parun; òun kò rìn lọ mọ́ ní ọ̀nà ọgbà àjàrà.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bi ọ̀dá àti òru ní í mú omi òjò-dídì yọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ní isà òkú í run àwọn tó dẹ́ṣẹ̀. (Sheol h7585)
20 The womb forgetteth him; the worm feedeth sweetly on him: he shall be no more remembered; and unrighteousness is broken as a tree, —
Inú ìbímọ yóò gbàgbé rẹ̀, kòkòrò ní yóò máa fi adùn jẹun lára rẹ̀; a kì yóò rántí ènìyàn búburú mọ́; bẹ́ẹ̀ ní a ó sì ṣẹ ìwà búburú bí ẹní ṣẹ́ igi.
21 He that despoileth the barren that beareth not, and doeth not good to the widow:
Ẹni tí o hù ìwà búburú sí àgàn tí kò ṣe rere sí opó.
22 He draweth also the mighty with his power; he riseth up, and no [man] is sure of life.
Ọlọ́run fi ipá agbára rẹ̀ fa alágbára, bí wọ́n tilẹ̀ fìdímúlẹ̀, kò sí ìrètí ìyè fún wọn.
23 [God] setteth him in safety, and he resteth thereon; but his eyes are upon their ways.
Ọlọ́run sì fi àìléwu fún un, àti nínú èyí ni a ó sì tì i lẹ́yìn, ojú rẹ̀ sì wà ní ipa ọ̀nà wọn.
24 They are exalted for a little, and are no more; they are laid low; like all [other] are they gathered, and are cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
A gbé wọn lékè nígbà díẹ̀, wọ́n kọjá lọ; a sì rẹ̀ wọ́n sílẹ̀, a sì mú wọn kúrò ní ọ̀nà bí àwọn ẹlòmíràn, a sì ké wọn kúrò bí orí síírí ọkà bàbà.
25 If it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
“Ǹjẹ́, bí kò bá rí bẹ́ẹ̀ nísinsin yìí, ta ni yóò mú mi ní èké, tí yóò sì sọ ọ̀rọ̀ mi di aláìníláárí?”
