Job 6
1 But Job answered and said,
Jobu sì dáhùn ó si wí pé,
2 Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!
“Háà! À bá lè wọ́n ìbìnújẹ́ mi nínú òsùwọ̀n, kí a sì le gbé ọ̀fọ̀ mi lé orí òsùwọ̀n ṣọ̀kan pọ̀!
3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.
Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, ìbá wúwo jú iyanrìn òkun lọ, nítorí náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ mi ṣe ń tàsé.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of Eloah do set themselves in array against me.
Nítorí pé ọfà Olódùmarè wọ̀ mi nínú, oró èyí tí ọkàn mi mú; ìpayà-ẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run dúró tì mí.
5 Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?
Ǹjẹ́ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ igbó á máa dún nígbà tí ó bá ní koríko, tàbí ọ̀dá màlúù a máa dún lórí ìjẹ rẹ̀?
6 Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
A ha lè jẹ ohun tí kò ní adùn ní àìní iyọ̀, tàbí adùn ha wà nínú funfun ẹyin?
7 The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.
Ohun ti ọ̀kan mi kọ̀ láti tọ́wò, òun ni ó dàbí oúnjẹ tí ó mú mi ṣàárẹ̀.
8 Oh that I might have my request; and that Eloah would grant me the thing that I long for!
“Háà! èmi ìbá lè rí ìbéèrè mi gbà; àti pé, kí Ọlọ́run lè fi ohun tí èmi ṣàfẹ́rí fún mi.
9 Even that it would please Eloah to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
Àní Ọlọ́run ìbá jẹ́ pa mí run, tí òun ìbá jẹ́ ṣíwọ́ rẹ̀ kì ó sì ké mi kúrò.
10 Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
Nígbà náà ní èmi ìbá ní ìtùnú síbẹ̀, àní, èmi ìbá mú ọkàn mi le nínú ìbànújẹ́ mi ti kò dá ni sí: nítorí èmi kò fi ọ̀rọ̀ ẹni mímọ́ ni sin rí.
11 What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?
“Kí ní agbára mi tí èmi ó fi retí? Kí sì ní òpin mi tí èmi ó fi ní sùúrù?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
Agbára mi ha ṣe agbára òkúta bí? Ẹran-ara mi í ṣe idẹ?
13 Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
Ìrànlọ́wọ́ mi kò ha wà nínú mi: ọgbọ́n kò ha ti sálọ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi bí?
14 To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
“Ẹni tí àyà rẹ̀ yọ́ dànù, ta ni a bá máa ṣàánú fún láti ọ̀dọ̀ ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀ wá, kí ó má ba à kọ ìbẹ̀rù Olódùmarè sílẹ̀?
15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;
Àwọn ará mi dàbí odò tí kò ṣe gbẹ́kẹ̀lé bí ìṣàn omi odò, wọ́n sàn kọjá lọ.
16 Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:
Tí ó dúdú nítorí omi dídì, àti níbi tí yìnyín dídì gbé di yíyọ́.
17 What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
Nígbàkígbà tí wọ́n bá gbóná wọn a sì yọ́ sàn lọ, nígbà tí oòrùn bá mú, wọn a sì gbẹ kúrò ni ipò wọn.
18 The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
Àwọn oníṣòwò yà kúrò ní ọ̀nà wọn, wọ́n gòkè sí ibi asán, wọ́n sì run.
19 The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
Ẹgbẹ́ oníṣòwò Tema ń wá omi, àwọn oníṣòwò Ṣeba ń dúró dè wọ́n ní ìrètí.
20 They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.
Wọ́n káàárẹ̀, nítorí tí wọ́n gbẹ́kẹ̀ wọn lé e; wọ́n dé bẹ̀, wọ́n sì dààmú.
21 For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.
Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, ẹ̀yin dàbí wọn; ẹ̀yin rí ìrẹ̀sílẹ̀ mi àyà sì fò mí.
22 Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?
Èmi ó ha wí pé, ‘Ẹ mú ohun fún mi wá, tàbí pé ẹ fún mi ní ẹ̀bùn nínú ohun ìní yín?
23 Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
Tàbí, ẹ gbà mí lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tá ni, tàbí, ẹ rà mí padà kúrò lọ́wọ́ alágbára nì’?
24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
“Ẹ kọ́ mi, èmi ó sì pa ẹnu mi mọ́ kí ẹ sì mú mi wòye níbi tí mo gbé ti ṣìnà.
25 How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?
Wò ó! Bí ọ̀rọ̀ òtítọ́ ti lágbára tó ṣùgbọ́n kí ni àròyé ìbáwí yín jásí?
26 Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?
Ẹ̀yin ṣè bí ẹ tún ọ̀rọ̀ mi ṣe àti ohùn ẹnu tí ó dàbí afẹ́fẹ́ ṣe àárẹ̀.
27 Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.
Àní ẹ̀yin ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí aláìní baba, ẹ̀yin sì da iye lé ọ̀rẹ́ yín.
28 Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.
“Nítorí náà, kí èyí kí ó tó fún yín. Ẹ má wò mi! Nítorí pé ó hàn gbangba pé, ní ojú yín ni èmi kì yóò ṣèké.
29 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.
Èmi ń bẹ̀ yín, ẹ padà, kí ó má sì ṣe jásí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀; àní, ẹ sì tún padà, àre mi ń bẹ nínú ọ̀rọ̀ yìí.
30 Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?
Àìṣedéédéé ha wà ní ahọ́n mi? Ǹjẹ́ ìtọ́wò ẹnu mi kò kúkú le mọ ohun ti ó burú jù?
