Job 20
1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
Ìgbà náà ní Sofari, ará Naama dáhùn, ó sì wí pé,
2 Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for [this] I make haste.
“Nítorí náà ní ìrò inú mi dá mi lóhùn, àti nítorí èyí náà ní mo sì yára si gidigidi.
3 I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.
Mo ti gbọ́ ẹ̀san ẹ̀gàn mi, ẹ̀mí òye mi sì dá mi lóhùn.
4 Knowest thou [not] this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
“Ìwọ kò mọ̀ èyí rí ní ìgbà àtijọ́, láti ìgbà tí a sọ ènìyàn lọ́jọ̀ sílé ayé,
5 That the triumphing of the wicked [is] short, and the joy of the hypocrite [but] for a moment?
pé, orin ayọ̀ ènìyàn búburú, ìgbà kúkúrú ni, àti pé, ní ìṣẹ́jú kan ní ayọ̀ àgàbàgebè?
6 Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;
Bí ọláńlá rẹ̀ tilẹ̀ gòkè dé ọ̀run, ti orí rẹ̀ sì kan àwọsánmọ̀;
7 [Yet] he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where [is] he?
ṣùgbọ́n yóò ṣègbé láéláé bí ìgbẹ́ ara rẹ̀; àwọn tí ó ti rí i rí yóò wí pé, ‘Òun ha dà?’
8 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
Yóò fò lọ bí àlá, a kì yóò sì rí i, àní a ó lé e lọ bi ìran òru.
9 The eye also [which] saw him shall [see him] no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
Ojú tí ó ti rí i rí kì yóò sì rí i mọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ibùjókòó rẹ̀ kì yóò sì ri i mọ́.
10 His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.
Àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ yóò máa wá àti rí ojúrere lọ́dọ̀ tálákà, ọwọ́ rẹ̀ yóò sì kó ọrọ̀ wọn padà.
11 His bones are full [of the sin] of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.
Egungun rẹ̀ kún fún agbára ìgbà èwe rẹ̀, tí yóò bá a dùbúlẹ̀ nínú erùpẹ̀.
12 Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, [though] he hide it under his tongue;
“Bí ìwà búburú tilẹ̀ dún ní ẹnu rẹ̀, bí ó tilẹ̀ pa á mọ́ nísàlẹ̀ ahọ́n rẹ̀,
13 [Though] he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:
bí ó tilẹ̀ dá a sì, tí kò si kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀, tí ó pa á mọ́ síbẹ̀ ní ẹnu rẹ̀,
14 [Yet] his meat in his bowels is turned, [it is] the gall of asps within him.
ṣùgbọ́n oúnjẹ rẹ̀ nínú ikùn rẹ̀ ti yípadà, ó jásí òróró paramọ́lẹ̀ nínú rẹ̀;
15 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
Ó ti gbé ọrọ̀ mì, yóò sì tún bí i jáde; Ọlọ́run yóò pọ̀ ọ́ yọ jáde láti inú rẹ̀ wá.
16 He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper’s tongue shall slay him.
Ó ti fà oró paramọ́lẹ̀ mú; ahọ́n ejò olóró ní yóò pa á.
17 He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.
Kì yóò rí odò wọ̀n-ọn-nì, ìṣàn omi, odò tí ń ṣàn fún oyin àti ti òrí-àmọ́.
18 That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow [it] down: according to [his] substance [shall] the restitution [be], and he shall not rejoice [therein].
Ohun tí ó ṣiṣẹ́ fún ni yóò mú un padà, kí yóò sì gbé e mì; gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọrọ̀ tí ó ní, kì yóò sì ìgbádùn nínú rẹ̀.
19 Because he hath oppressed [and] hath forsaken the poor; [because] he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;
Nítorí tí ó fi owó rẹ̀ ni tálákà lára, ó sì ti pẹ̀yìndà si wọ́n; nítorí ti ó fi agbára gbé ilé tí òun kò kọ́.
20 Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.
“Nítorí òun kò mọ̀ ìwà pẹ̀lẹ́ nínú ara rẹ̀, kì yóò sì gbà nínú èyí tí ọkàn rẹ̀ fẹ́ sílẹ̀.
21 There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.
Ohun kan kò kù fún jíjẹ́ rẹ̀; nítorí náà ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ kì yóò dúró pẹ́.
22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
Nínú ànító rẹ̀, ìdààmú yóò dé bá a; àwọn ènìyàn búburú yóò dáwọ́jọ lé e lórí.
23 [When] he is about to fill his belly, [God] shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain [it] upon him while he is eating.
Yóò sì ṣe, nígbà tí ó bá fẹ́ jẹun, Ọlọ́run yóò fà ríru ìbínú rẹ̀ sí í lórí, nígbà tó bá ń jẹun lọ́wọ́, yóò sì rọ òjò ìbínú rẹ̀ lé e lórí.
24 He shall flee from the iron weapon, [and] the bow of steel shall strike him through.
Bi o tilẹ̀ sá kúrò lọ́wọ́ ohun ìjà ìrìn; ọrun akọ irin ní yóò ta a po yọ.
25 It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors [are] upon him.
O fà á yọ, ó sì jáde kúrò lára; idà dídán ní ń jáde láti inú òróòro wá. Ẹ̀rù ńlá ń bẹ ní ara rẹ̀;
26 All darkness [shall be] hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.
òkùnkùn biribiri ní a ti pamọ́ fún ìṣúra rẹ̀. Iná ti a kò fẹ́ ní yóò jó o run yóò sì jẹ èyí tí ó kù nínú àgọ́ rẹ̀ run.
27 The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.
Ọ̀run yóò fi ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ hàn, ayé yóò sì dìde dúró sí i.
28 The increase of his house shall depart, [and his goods] shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
Ìbísí ilé rẹ̀ yóò kọjá lọ, àti ohun ìní rẹ̀ yóò sàn dànù lọ ni ọjọ́ ìbínú Ọlọ́run.
29 This [is] the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.
Èyí ni ìpín ènìyàn búburú láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run wá, àti ogún tí a yàn sílẹ̀ fún un láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run.”
