Job 5
1 "Call now; is there any who will answer you? To which of the holy ones will you turn?
“Ó jẹ́ pé nísinsin yìí bí ẹnìkan bá wà tí yóò dá wa lóhùn? Tàbí ta ni nínú àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ tí ìwọ ó yípadà sí?
2 For resentment kills the foolish man, and jealousy kills the simple.
Nítorí pé ìbínú pa aláìmòye, ìrunú a sì pa òpè ènìyàn.
3 I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
Èmi ti rí aláìmòye ti ó ta gbọ̀nọ́ngbọ̀nọ́n lulẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n lójúkan náà mo fi ibùjókòó rẹ̀ bú.
4 His children are far from safety. They are crushed in the gate. Neither is there any to deliver them,
Àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ kò jìnnà sí ewu, a sì tẹ̀ wọ́n mọ́lẹ̀ lójú ibodè, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí aláàbò kan.
5 whose harvest the hungry eats up, and take it even out of the thorns. And the thirsty swallow up their wealth.
Ìkórè oko ẹni tí àwọn tí ebi ń pa sọ̀ di jíjẹ, tí wọ́n sì wọ inú ẹ̀gún lọ kó, àwọn ìgárá ọlọ́ṣà sì gbé ohun ìní wọn mì.
6 For affliction doesn't come forth from the dust, neither does trouble spring out of the ground;
Bí ìpọ́njú kò bá ti inú erùpẹ̀ jáde wá ni, tí ìyọnu kò ti ilẹ̀ jáde wá.
7 but man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
Ṣùgbọ́n a bí ènìyàn sínú wàhálà, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìpẹ́pẹ́ iná ti máa ń ta sókè.
8 "But as for me, I would seek God. I would commit my cause to God,
“Ṣùgbọ́n bí ó ṣe tèmi, ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run ní èmi yóò ti ṣìpẹ̀, ní ọwọ́ Ọlọ́run ní èmi yóò máa fi ọ̀rọ̀ mi lé.
9 who does great things that can't be fathomed, marvelous things without number;
Ẹni tí ó ṣe ohun tí ó tóbi tí a kò lè ṣe àwárí, ohun ìyanu láìní iye.
10 who gives rain on the earth, and sends waters on the fields;
Tí ń rọ̀jò sí orí ilẹ̀ ayé tí ó sì ń rán omi sínú ilẹ̀kílẹ̀.
11 so that he sets up on high those who are low, those who mourn are exalted to safety.
Láti gbé àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè lékè kí á lè gbé àwọn ẹni ìbànújẹ́ ga sí ibi aláìléwu.
12 He frustrates the devices of the crafty, So that their hands can't perform their enterprise.
Ó yí ìmọ̀ àwọn alárékérekè po, bẹ́ẹ̀ ní ọwọ́ wọn kò lè mú ìdáwọ́lé wọn ṣẹ.
13 He traps the wise in their own craftiness, and the counsel of the cunning are brought to a quick end.
Ó mú àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n nínú àrékérekè ara wọn, àti ìmọ̀ àwọn òǹrorò ní ó tì ṣubú ní ògèdèǹgbé.
14 They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope at noonday as in the night.
Wọ́n sáré wọ inú òkùnkùn ní ọ̀sán; wọ́n sì fọwọ́ tálẹ̀ ní ọ̀sán gangan bí ẹni pé ní òru ni.
15 But he saves from the sword of their mouth, even the needy from the hand of the mighty.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó gba tálákà là ní ọwọ́ idà, lọ́wọ́ ẹnu wọn àti lọ́wọ́ àwọn alágbára.
16 So the poor has hope, and injustice shuts her mouth.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìrètí wà fún tálákà, àìṣòótọ́ sì pa ẹnu rẹ̀ mọ́.
17 "Look, blessed is the man whom God corrects. Therefore do not despise the chastening of Shaddai.
“Kíyèsi i, ìbùkún ni fún ẹni tí Ọlọ́run bá wí, nítorí náà, má ṣe gan ìbáwí Olódùmarè.
18 For he wounds, and binds up. He injures, and his hands make whole.
Nítorí pé òun a máa pa ni lára, síbẹ̀ òun a sì tún dì í ní ìdì ìtura, ó sá lọ́gbẹ́, a sì fi ọwọ́ rẹ̀ di ojú ọgbẹ̀ náà jiná.
19 He will deliver you in six troubles; yes, in seven there shall no evil touch you.
Yóò gbà ọ́ nínú ìpọ́njú mẹ́fà, àní nínú méje, ibi kan kì yóò bá ọ.
20 In famine he will redeem you from death; in war, from the power of the sword.
Nínú ìyanu yóò gbà ọ́ lọ́wọ́ ikú àti nínú ogun, yóò gbà ọ́ lọ́wọ́ idà.
21 You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, neither shall you be afraid of destruction when it comes.
A ó pa ọ́ mọ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ iná ahọ́n, bẹ́ẹ̀ ní ìwọ kì yóò bẹ̀rù ìparun tí ó bá dé.
22 At destruction and famine you shall laugh, neither shall you be afraid of the animals of the earth.
Ìwọ yóò rẹ́rìn-ín nínú ìparun àti ìyàn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kì yóò bẹ̀rù ẹranko ilẹ̀ ayé.
23 For you shall be in league with the stones of the field. The animals of the field shall be at peace with you.
Nítorí pé ìwọ ti bá òkúta igbó mulẹ̀, àwọn ẹranko igbó yóò wà pẹ̀lú rẹ ní àlàáfíà.
24 You shall know that your tent is in peace. You shall visit your fold, and shall miss nothing.
Ìwọ ó sì mọ̀ pé àlàáfíà ni ibùjókòó rẹ wà, ìwọ yóò sì máa ṣe ìbẹ̀wò ibùjókòó rẹ, ìwọ kì yóò ṣìnà.
25 You shall know also that your descendants shall be great, and your offspring as the grass of the earth.
Ìwọ ó sì mọ̀ pẹ̀lú pé irú-ọmọ rẹ ó sì pọ̀ àti àwọn ọmọ ọmọ rẹ yóò rí bí koríko igbó.
26 You shall come to your grave in a full age, like a shock of grain comes in its season.
Ìwọ yóò wọ isà òkú rẹ ní ògbólógbòó ọjọ́, bí síírí ọkà tí ó gbó tí á sì kó ní ìgbà ìkórè rẹ̀.
27 Look this, we have searched it, so it is. Hear it, and know it for your good."
“Kíyèsi i, àwa ti wádìí rẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀ ní ó rí! Gbà á gbọ́, kí o sì mọ̀ pé fún ìre ara rẹ ni.”
