Job 10
1 My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
“Agara ìwà ayé mi dá mi tán; èmi yóò tú àròyé mi sókè lọ́dọ̀ mi èmi yóò máa sọ̀rọ̀ nínú kíkorò ìbìnújẹ́ ọkàn mi.
2 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
Èmi yóò wí fún Ọlọ́run pé, má ṣe dá mi lẹ́bi; fihàn mí nítorí ìdí ohun tí ìwọ fi ń bá mi jà.
3 [Is it] good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
Ó ha tọ́ tí ìwọ ìbá fi máa ni mí lára, tí ìwọ ìbá fi máa gan iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ, tí ìwọ yóò fi máa tàn ìmọ́lẹ̀ sí ìmọ̀ ènìyàn búburú?
4 Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
Ojú rẹ kì ha ṣe ojú ènìyàn bí? Tàbí ìwọ a máa ríran bí ènìyàn ti í ríran?
5 [Are] thy days as the days of man? [are] thy years as man’s days,
Ọjọ́ rẹ ha dàbí ọjọ́ ènìyàn, ọdún rẹ ha dàbí ọjọ́ ènìyàn,
6 That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?
tí ìwọ fi ń béèrè àìṣedéédéé mi, tí ìwọ sì fi wá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi rí?
7 Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and [there is] none that can deliver out of thine hand.
Ìwọ mọ̀ pé èmi kì í ṣe oníwà búburú, kò sì sí ẹni tí ó le gbà mí kúrò ní ọwọ́ rẹ?
8 Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.
“Ọwọ́ rẹ ni ó mọ mi, tí ó sì da mi. Síbẹ̀ ìwọ tún yípadà láti jẹ mí run.
9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
Èmi bẹ̀ ọ́ rántí pé ìwọ ti mọ mí bí amọ̀. Ìwọ yóò ha sì tún mú mi padà lọ sínú erùpẹ̀?
10 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
Ìwọ kò ha ti tú mí dà jáde bí i wàrà, ìwọ kò sì mú mí dìpọ̀ bí i wàràǹkàṣì?
11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
Ìwọ sá ti fi àwọ̀ ẹran-ara wọ̀ mí, ìwọ sì fi egungun àti iṣan ṣọgbà yí mi ká.
12 Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
Ìwọ ti fún mi ní ẹ̀mí àti ojúrere, ìbẹ̀wò rẹ sì pa ọkàn mi mọ́.
13 And these [things] hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this [is] with thee.
“Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni ìwọ sì ti fi pamọ́ nínú rẹ; èmi mọ̀ pé, èyí ń bẹ ní ọkàn rẹ.
14 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
Bí mo bá ṣẹ̀, nígbà náà ni ìwọ yóò máa ṣọ́ mi ìwọ kì yóò sì dárí àìṣedéédéé mi jì.
15 If I be wicked, woe unto me; and [if] I be righteous, [yet] will I not lift up my head. [I am] full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;
Bí mo bá ṣe ẹni búburú, ègbé ni fún mi! Bí mo bá sì ṣe ẹni rere, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò sì le gbe orí mi sókè, èmi dààmú mo si wo ìpọ́njú mi.
16 For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.
Bí mo bá gbé orí mi ga, ìwọ ń dẹ mí kiri bi i kìnnìún àti pẹ̀lú, ìwọ a sì fi ara rẹ hàn fún mi ní ìyànjú.
17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war [are] against me.
Ìwọ sì tún mu àwọn ẹlẹ́rìí rẹ dìde sí mi di ọ̀tún ìwọ sì sọ ìrunú rẹ di púpọ̀ sí mi; àwọn ogun rẹ si dìde sinmi bi igbe omi Òkun.
18 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
“Nítorí kí ni ìwọ ṣe mú mi jáde láti inú wá? Háà! Èmi ìbá kúkú ti kú, ojúkójú kì bá tí rí mi.
19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
Tí kò bá le jẹ́ pé èmi wà láààyè, à bá ti gbé mi láti inú lọ isà òkú.
20 [Are] not my days few? cease [then, and] let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
Ọjọ́ mi kò ha kúrú bí? Rárá! Dáwọ́ dúró, kí ó sì yí padà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi. Nítorí kí èmi lè ni ayọ̀ ní ìṣẹ́jú kan.
21 Before I go [whence] I shall not return, [even] to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
Kí èmi kí ó tó lọ sí ibi tí èmi kì yóò padà sẹ́yìn mọ́, àní si ilẹ̀ òkùnkùn àti òjìji ikú,
22 A land of darkness, as darkness [itself; and] of the shadow of death, without any order, and [where] the light [is] as darkness.
ilẹ̀ òkùnkùn bí òkùnkùn tìkára rẹ̀, àti ti òjìji ikú àti rúdurùdu, níbi tí ìmọ́lẹ̀ dàbí òkùnkùn.”
