< Job 10 >
1 "My soul is weary of my life. I will give free course to my complaint. 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 tell God, 'Do not condemn me. Show me why you contend 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 to you that you should oppress, that you should despise the work of your hands, and smile on 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 Do you have eyes of flesh? Or do you see as man sees?
Ojú rẹ kì ha ṣe ojú ènìyàn bí? Tàbí ìwọ a máa ríran bí ènìyàn ti í ríran?
5 Are your days as the days of mortals, or your years as man's years,
Ọjọ́ rẹ ha dàbí ọjọ́ ènìyàn, ọdún rẹ ha dàbí ọjọ́ ènìyàn,
6 that you inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?
tí ìwọ fi ń béèrè àìṣedéédéé mi, tí ìwọ sì fi wá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi rí?
7 Although you know that I am not wicked, there is no one who can deliver out of your hand.
Ìwọ mọ̀ pé èmi kì í ṣe oníwà búburú, kò sì sí ẹni tí ó le gbà mí kúrò ní ọwọ́ rẹ?
8 "'Your hands have framed me and fashioned me altogether, yet you destroy me.
“Ọwọ́ rẹ ni ó mọ mi, tí ó sì da mi. Síbẹ̀ ìwọ tún yípadà láti jẹ mí run.
9 Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay. Will you 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 Haven't you poured me out like 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 You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
Ìwọ sá ti fi àwọ̀ ẹran-ara wọ̀ mí, ìwọ sì fi egungun àti iṣan ṣọgbà yí mi ká.
12 You have granted me life and loving kindness. Your visitation has preserved my spirit.
Ìwọ ti fún mi ní ẹ̀mí àti ojúrere, ìbẹ̀wò rẹ sì pa ọkàn mi mọ́.
13 Yet you hid these things in your heart. I know that this is with you:
“Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni ìwọ sì ti fi pamọ́ nínú rẹ; èmi mọ̀ pé, èyí ń bẹ ní ọkàn rẹ.
14 if I sin, then you mark me. You will not acquit me from my iniquity.
Bí mo bá ṣẹ̀, nígbà náà ni ìwọ yóò máa ṣọ́ mi ìwọ kì yóò sì dárí àìṣedéédéé mi jì.
15 If I am wicked, woe to me. If I am righteous, I still shall not lift up my head, being filled with disgrace, and conscious of my 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 And if I lift myself up, you hunt me like a lion. Again you show yourself powerful to 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 You renew your witnesses against me, and increase your indignation on me. Changes and warfare are with 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 "'Why, then, have you brought me forth out of the womb? I wish I had given up the spirit, 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 Aren't my days few? Cease then. Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,
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 where I shall not return from, to the land of darkness and of 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 the land dark as midnight, of the shadow of death, without any order, where the light is as midnight.'"
ilẹ̀ òkùnkùn bí òkùnkùn tìkára rẹ̀, àti ti òjìji ikú àti rúdurùdu, níbi tí ìmọ́lẹ̀ dàbí òkùnkùn.”
