Job 12
1 Then Iob answered, and sayde,
Jobu sì dáhùn, ó sì wí pé,
2 In deede because that ye are the people onely, wisedome must dye with you.
“Kò sí àní àní níbẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin ni àwọn ènìyàn náà, ọgbọ́n yóò sì kú pẹ̀lú yín!
3 But I haue vnderstanding aswel as you, and am not inferior vnto you: yea, who knoweth not such things?
Ṣùgbọ́n èmi ní ìyè nínú gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀yin; èmi kò kéré sí i yín. Àní, ta ni kò mọ gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí?
4 I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth vpon God, and he heareth him: the iust and the vpright is laughed to scorne.
“Èmi dàbí ẹni tí a ń fi ṣe ẹlẹ́yà lọ́dọ̀ aládùúgbò rẹ̀, tí ó ké pe Ọlọ́run, tí ó sì dá a lóhùn, à ń fi olóòtítọ́ ẹni ìdúró ṣinṣin rẹ́rìn-ín ẹlẹ́yà!
5 Hee that is readie to fall, is as a lampe despised in the opinion of the riche.
Ó rọrùn fún ènìyàn láti fi ìbànújẹ́ ẹlòmíràn ṣe ẹlẹ́yà gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpín àwọn ẹni tí ẹsẹ̀ wọn ṣetán láti yọ̀.
6 The tabernacles of robbers doe prosper, and they are in safetie, that prouoke God, whome God hath enriched with his hand.
Àgọ́ àwọn ìgárá ọlọ́ṣà wá láìní ìbẹ̀rù; àwọn tí ó sì ń mú Ọlọ́run bínú wà láìléwu, àwọn ẹni tí ó sì gbá òrìṣà mú ní ọwọ́ wọn.
7 Aske now the beasts, and they shall teach thee, and the foules of the heauen, and they shall tell thee:
“Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí bí àwọn ẹranko léèrè, wọn o kọ́ ọ ní ẹ̀kọ́, àti ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run, wọn ó sì sọ fún ọ.
8 Or speake to the earth, and it shall shewe thee: or the fishes of the sea, and they shall declare vnto thee.
Tàbí ba ilẹ̀ ayé sọ̀rọ̀, yóò sì kọ́ ọ, àwọn ẹja inú òkun yóò sì sọ fún ọ.
9 Who is ignorant of all these, but that the hande of the Lord hath made these?
Ta ni kò mọ̀ nínú gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí pé, ọwọ́ Olúwa ni ó ṣe nǹkan yìí?
10 In whose hande is the soule of euery liuing thing, and the breath of all mankinde.
Ní ọwọ́ ẹni tí ẹ̀mí ohun alààyè gbogbo gbé wà, àti ẹ̀mí gbogbo aráyé.
11 Doeth not the eares discerne the words? and the mouth taste meate for it selfe?
Etí kì í dán ọ̀rọ̀ wò bí tàbí adùn ẹnu kì í sì í tọ́ oúnjẹ rẹ̀ wò bí?
12 Among the ancient is wisedome, and in the length of dayes is vnderstanding.
Àwọn arúgbó ni ọgbọ́n wà fún, àti nínú gígùn ọjọ́ ni òye.
13 With him is wisedome and strength: he hath counsell and vnderstanding.
“Ti Ọlọ́run ni ọgbọ́n àti agbára; òun ló ni ìmọ̀ àti òye.
14 Beholde, he will breake downe, and it can not be built: he shutteth a man vp, and he can not be loosed.
Kíyèsi i, ó bì wó, a kò sì lè gbe ró mọ́; Ó sé ènìyàn mọ́, kò sì sí ìtúsílẹ̀ kan.
15 Beholde, he withholdeth the waters, and they drie vp: but when he sendeth them out, they destroy the earth.
Kíyèsi i, ó dá àwọn omi dúró, wọ́n sì gbẹ; Ó sì rán wọn jáde, wọ́n sì ṣẹ̀ bo ilẹ̀ ayé yípo.
16 With him is strength and wisedome: hee that is deceiued, and that deceiueth, are his.
Tìrẹ ni agbára àti ìṣẹ́gun; ẹni tí ń ṣìnà àti ẹni tí ń mú ni ṣìnà, tirẹ̀ ni wọ́n ń ṣe.
17 He causeth the counsellers to goe as spoyled, and maketh the iudges fooles.
Ó mú àwọn ìgbìmọ̀ lọ ní ìhòhò a sì sọ àwọn onídàájọ́ di òmùgọ̀.
18 He looseth the collar of Kings, and girdeth their loynes with a girdle.
Ó tú ìdè ọba ó sì fi àmùrè gbà wọ́n ní ọ̀já.
19 He leadeth away the princes as a pray, and ouerthroweth the mightie.
Ó mú àwọn àlùfáà lọ ní ìhòhò ó sì tẹ orí àwọn alágbára ba.
20 He taketh away the speach from the faithfull counsellers, and taketh away the iudgement of the ancient.
Ó mú ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu ẹni ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé kúrò ó sì ra àwọn àgbàgbà ní iyè.
21 He powreth contempt vpon princes, and maketh the strength of the mightie weake.
Ó bu ẹ̀gàn lu àwọn ọmọ ọlọ́lá ó sì tú àmùrè àwọn alágbára.
22 He discouereth the deepe places from their darkenesse, and bringeth foorth the shadowe of death to light.
Ó hú ìdí ohun ìjìnlẹ̀ jáde láti inú òkùnkùn wá ó sì mú òjìji ikú wá sínú ìmọ́lẹ̀.
23 He increaseth the people, and destroyeth them: he inlargeth the nations, and bringeth them in againe.
Òun a mú orílẹ̀-èdè bí sí i, a sì run wọ́n; òun a sọ orílẹ̀-èdè di ńlá, a sì tún ṣẹ̀ wọn kù.
24 He taketh away the heartes of the that are the chiefe ouer the people of the earth, and maketh them to wander in the wildernes out of the way.
Òun a gba òye àwọn olórí àwọn ènìyàn aráyé, a sì máa mú wọn rin kiri nínú ijù níbi tí ọ̀nà kò sí.
25 They grope in the darke without light: and he maketh the to stagger like a drunken man.
Wọn a máa fi ọwọ́ ta ilẹ̀ nínú òkùnkùn níbi tí kò sí ìmọ́lẹ̀; òun a sì máa mú ìrìn ìsìn wọn bí ọ̀mùtí.
