< Job 15 >

1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and saide,
Ìgbà náà ní Elifasi, ará Temani, dáhùn wí pé,
2 Shal a wise man speake words of ye winde, and fill his bellie with the East winde?
“Ọlọ́gbọ́n a máa sọ̀rọ̀ ìmọ̀ asán kí ó sì máa fi afẹ́fẹ́ ìlà-oòrùn kún ara rẹ̀ nínú?
3 Shall he dispute with wordes not comely? or with talke that is not profitable?
Òun lè máa fi àròyé sọ̀rọ̀ tí kò ní èrè, tàbí pẹ̀lú ọ̀rọ̀ nínú èyí tí kò lè fi ṣe rere?
4 Surely thou hast cast off feare, and restrainest prayer before God.
Ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ṣá ìbẹ̀rù tì, ìwọ sì dí iṣẹ́ ìsìn lọ́nà níwájú Ọlọ́run.
5 For thy mouth declareth thine iniquitie, seeing thou hast chosen ye tongue of the crafty.
Nítorí pé ẹnu ara rẹ̀ ni ó jẹ́wọ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ̀, ìwọ sì yàn ahọ́n alárékérekè ni ààyò.
6 Thine owne mouth condemneth thee, and not I, and thy lippes testifie against thee.
Ẹnu ara rẹ̀ ni ó dá lẹ́bi, kì í ṣe èmi; àní ètè ara rẹ̀ ni ó jẹ́rìí gbè ọ́.
7 Art thou the first man, that was borne? and wast thou made before the hils?
“Ìwọ ha í ṣe ọkùnrin tí a kọ́ bí? Tàbí a ha dá ọ ṣáájú àwọn òkè?
8 Hast thou heard the secret counsell of God, and doest thou restraine wisedome to thee?
Ìwọ gbúròó àṣírí Ọlọ́run rí? Tàbí ìwọ ha dá ọgbọ́n dúró sọ́dọ̀ ara rẹ?
9 What knowest thou that we knowe not? and vnderstandest that is not in vs?
Kí ni ìwọ mọ̀ tí àwa kò mọ̀? Òye kí ní ó yé ọ tí kò sí nínú wa?
10 With vs are both auncient and very aged men, farre older then thy father.
Àwọn arúgbó àti ògbólógbòó ènìyàn wà pẹ̀lú wa, tí wọ́n dàgbà ju baba rẹ lọ.
11 Seeme the consolations of God small vnto thee? is this thing strange vnto thee?
Ìtùnú Ọlọ́run ha kéré lọ́dọ̀ rẹ? Ọ̀rọ̀ kan sì ṣe jẹ́jẹ́ jù lọ́dọ̀ rẹ?
12 Why doeth thine heart take thee away, and what doe thine eyes meane,
Èéṣe ti ọkàn rẹ fi ń ti ọ kiri, kí ni ìwọ tẹjúmọ́ tóbẹ́ẹ̀.
13 That thou answerest to God at thy pleasure, and bringest such wordes out of thy mouth?
Tí ìwọ fi yí ẹ̀mí rẹ padà lòdì sí Ọlọ́run, tí ó fi ń jẹ́ ki ọ̀rọ̀kọ́rọ̀ kí ó máa bọ́ ní ẹnu rẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀?
14 What is man, that he should be cleane? and he that is borne of woman, that he shoulde be iust?
“Kí ni ènìyàn tí ó fi jẹ mímọ́, àti ẹni tí a tinú obìnrin bí tí yóò fi ṣe olódodo?
15 Beholde, he founde no stedfastnesse in his Saintes: yea, the heauens are not cleane in his sight.
Kíyèsi i, bi Ọlọ́run ko ba gbẹ́kẹ̀lé àwọn ẹni mímọ́ rẹ̀, àní àwọn ọ̀run kò mọ́ ní ojú rẹ̀,
16 How much more is man abominable, and filthie, which drinketh iniquitie like water?
mélòó mélòó ni ènìyàn, ẹni ìríra àti eléèérí, tí ń mu ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ bi ẹní mu omi.
17 I will tell thee: heare me, and I will declare that which I haue seene:
“Èmi ó fihàn ọ́, gbọ́ ti èmi; èyí tí èmi sì rí, òun ni èmi ó sì sọ,
18 Which wise men haue tolde, as they haue heard of their fathers, and haue not kept it secret:
ohun tí àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n ti pa ní ìtàn láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn baba wọn wá, ti wọ́n kò sì fi pamọ́.
19 To whome alone the land was giuen and no stranger passed through them.
Àwọn tí a fi ilẹ̀ ayé fún nìkan, ti àlejò kan kò sì là wọ́n kọjá.
20 The wicked man is continually as one that traueileth of childe, and the nomber of yeeres is hid from the tyrant.
Ènìyàn búburú ń ṣe làálàá, pẹ̀lú ìrora, ní ọjọ́ rẹ̀ gbogbo, àti iye ọdún ní a dá sílẹ̀ fún aninilára.
21 A sounde of feare is in his eares, and in his prosperitie the destroyer shall come vpon him.
Ìró ìbẹ̀rù ń bẹ ní etí rẹ̀; nínú ìrora ni apanirun yóò dìde sí i.
22 He beleeueth not to returne out of darknesse: for he seeth the sworde before him.
Kò gbàgbọ́ pé òun ó jáde kúrò nínú òkùnkùn; a sì ṣà á sápá kan fún idà.
23 He wandreth to and from for bread where he may: he knoweth that the day of darkenesse is prepared at hande.
Ó ń wò káàkiri fún oúnjẹ wí pé, níbo ní ó wà? Ó mọ̀ pé ọjọ́ òkùnkùn súnmọ́ tòsí.
24 Affliction and anguish shall make him afraide: they shall preuaile against him as a King readie to the battell.
Ìpọ́njú pẹ̀lú ìrora ọkàn yóò mú un bẹ̀rù, wọ́n ó sì ṣẹ́gun rẹ̀ bi ọba ti ìmúra ogun.
25 For he hath stretched out his hand against GOD, and made him selfe strong against the Almightie.
Nítorí pé ó ti nawọ́ rẹ̀ jáde lòdì sí Ọlọ́run, ó sì múra rẹ̀ le lòdì sí Olódùmarè,
26 Therefore God shall runne vpon him, euen vpon his necke, and against the most thicke part of his shielde.
ó súre, ó sì fi ẹ̀yìn gíga, àní fi ike-kókó àpáta rẹ̀ tí ó nípọn kọlù ú.
27 Because he hath couered his face with his fatnesse, and hath colloppes in his flancke.
“Nítorí tí òun fi ọ̀rá rẹ̀ bo ara rẹ̀ lójú, o sì ṣe ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ẹran sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ̀.
28 Though he dwell in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, but are become heapes,
Òun sì gbé inú ahoro ìlú, àti nínú ilẹ̀ tí ènìyàn kò gbé mọ́, tí ó múra tán láti di àlàpà.
29 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof in the earth.
Òun kò lé di ọlọ́rọ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ohun ìní rẹ̀ kò lè dúró pẹ́; bẹ́ẹ̀ kò lè mú pípé rẹ̀ dúró pẹ́ lórí ilẹ̀.
30 He shall neuer depart out of darkenesse: the flame shall drie vp his branches, and he shall goe away with the breath of his mouth.
Òun kì yóò jáde kúrò nínú òkùnkùn; ọ̀wọ́-iná ni yóò jó ẹ̀ka rẹ̀, àti nípasẹ̀ ẹ̀mí ẹnu Ọlọ́run ní a ó gba kúrò.
31 He beleeueth not that he erreth in vanitie: therefore vanitie shalbe his change.
Kí òun kí ó má ṣe gbẹ́kẹ̀lé asán, kí ó má sì ṣe tan ara rẹ̀ jẹ. Nítorí pé asán ní yóò jásí èrè rẹ̀.
32 His branch shall not be greene, but shall be cut off before his day.
A ó mú un ṣẹ ṣáájú pípé ọjọ́ rẹ̀, ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ kì yóò sì tutù.
33 God shall destroy him as the vine her sower grape, and shall cast him off, as the oliue doeth her flowre.
Yóò dàbí àjàrà tí a gbọn èso àìpọ́n rẹ̀ dànù, yóò sì rẹ̀ ìtànná rẹ̀ dànù bí i ti igi Olifi.
34 For the congregation of the hypocrite shalbe desolate, and fire shall deuoure the houses of bribes.
Nítorí pé ayọ̀ àwọn àgàbàgebè yóò túká, iná ní yóò sì jó àgọ́ àwọn tí ó fẹ́ràn àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀.
35 For they conceiue mischiefe and bring foorth vanitie, and their bellie hath prepared deceite.
Wọ́n lóyún ìwà ìkà, wọ́n sì bí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀, ikùn wọn sì pèsè ẹ̀tàn.”
