Job 19
1 Then Job answered,
Ìgbà náà ni Jobu dáhùn, ó sì wí pé:
2 "How long will you torment me, and crush me with words?
“Yóò ti pẹ́ tó tí ẹ̀yin ó fi máa fi ìyà jẹ mí, tí ẹ̀yin ó fi máa fi ọ̀rọ̀ yìí?
3 You have reproached me ten times. You aren't ashamed that you attack me.
Ìgbà mẹ́wàá ní yin yọ mi lénu ẹ̀yin ti ń gàn mí; ojú kò tì yín tí ẹ fi jẹ mí ní yà.
4 If it is true that I have erred, my error remains with myself.
Kí a sì wí bẹ́ẹ̀ pé, mo ṣìnà nítòótọ́, ìṣìnà mi wà lára èmi tìkára mi.
5 If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me, and plead my disgrace against me;
Bí ó tilẹ̀ ṣe pé ẹ̀yin ó ṣògo si mi lórí nítòótọ́, tí ẹ ó sì máa fi ẹ̀gàn mi gún mí lójú,
6 know now that God has subverted me, and has surrounded me with his net.
kí ẹ mọ̀ nísinsin yìí pé, Ọlọ́run ni ó bì mí ṣubú, ó sì nà àwọ̀n rẹ̀ yí mi ká.
7 "Look, I cry out 'Injustice.' but there is no justice.
“Kíyèsi, èmi ń kígbe pe, ‘Ọwọ́ alágbára!’ Ṣùgbọ́n a kò gbọ́ ti èmi; mo kígbe fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí ìdájọ́.
8 He has walled up my way so that I can't pass, and has set darkness in my paths.
Ó ṣọgbà dí ọ̀nà mi tí èmi kò le è kọjá, Ó sì mú òkùnkùn ṣú sí ipa ọ̀nà mi.
9 He has stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
Ó ti bọ́ ògo mi, ó sì ṣí adé kúrò ní orí mi.
10 He has broken me down on every side, and I am gone. My hope he has plucked up like a tree.
Ó ti bà mí jẹ́ ní ìhà gbogbo, ẹ̀mí sì pin; ìrètí mi ni a ó sì fàtu bí igi.
11 He has also kindled his wrath against me. He counts me among his adversaries.
Ó sì tiná bọ ìbínú rẹ̀ sí mi, ó sì kà mí sí bí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀.
12 His troops come on together, build a siege ramp against me, and camp around my tent.
Ẹgbẹ́ ogun rẹ̀ sì dàpọ̀ sí mi, wọ́n sì mọ odi yí mi ká, wọ́n sì yí àgọ́ mi ká.
13 "He has put my brothers far from me. My acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.
“Ó mú àwọn arákùnrin mi jìnà sí mi réré, àti àwọn ojúlùmọ̀ mi di àjèjì sí mi pátápátá.
14 My relatives have gone away. My familiar friends have forgotten me.
Àwọn alájọbí mi fàsẹ́yìn, àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ tímọ́tímọ́ mi sì di onígbàgbé mi.
15 Those who dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger. I am a foreigner in their sight.
Àwọn ará inú ilé mi àti àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin mi kà mí sí àjèjì; èmi jásí àjèjì ènìyàn ní ojú wọn.
16 I call to my servant, and he gives me no answer. I beg him with my mouth.
Mo pe ìránṣẹ́ mi, òun kò sì dá mi lóhùn; mo fi ẹnu mi bẹ̀ ẹ́.
17 My breath is offensive to my wife. I am loathsome to the children of my own mother.
Ẹ̀mí mi ṣú àyà mi, àti òórùn mi ṣú àwọn ọmọ inú ìyá mi.
18 Even young children despise me. If I arise, they speak against me.
Àní àwọn ọmọdékùnrin fi mí ṣẹ̀sín, mo dìde, wọ́n sì sọ̀rọ̀ ẹ̀gàn sí mi.
19 All my familiar friends abhor me. They whom I loved have turned against me.
Gbogbo àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ kòríkòsùn mi kórìíra mi, àwọn olùfẹ́ mi sì kẹ̀yìndà mí.
20 My bones stick to my skin and to my flesh. I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
Egungun mi lẹ̀ mọ́ ara mi àti mọ́ ẹran-ara mi, mo sì yọ́ pẹ̀lú awọ eyín mi.
21 "Have pity on me, have pity on me, you my friends; for the hand of God has touched me.
“Ẹ ṣàánú fún mi, ẹ ṣàánú fún mi, ẹ̀yin ọ̀rẹ́ mi, nítorí ọwọ́ Ọlọ́run ti bà mí.
22 Why do you persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
Nítorí kí ni ẹ̀yin ṣe lépa mi bí Ọlọ́run, tí ẹran-ara mi kò tẹ́ yín lọ́rùn?
23 "Oh that my words were now written. Oh that they were inscribed in a scroll.
“Háà! Ìbá ṣe pé a le kọ̀wé ọ̀rọ̀ mi nísinsin yìí, ìbá ṣe pé a le kọ ọ sínú ìwé!
24 That with an iron pen and lead they were engraved in the rock forever.
Kí a fi kálámù irin àti ti òjé kọ wọ́n sínú àpáta fún láéláé.
25 But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives. In the end, he will stand upon the earth.
Nítorí èmi mọ̀ pé olùdáǹdè mi ń bẹ láààyè àti pe òun ni yóò dìde dúró lórí ilẹ̀ ní ìkẹyìn;
26 After my skin is destroyed, then in my flesh shall I see God,
àti lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí a pa àwọ̀ ara mi run, síbẹ̀ láìsí ẹran-ara mi ni èmi ó rí Ọlọ́run,
27 Whom I, even I, shall see on my side. My eyes shall see, and not as a stranger. My heart is consumed within me.
ẹni tí èmi ó rí fún ara mi, tí ojú mi ó sì wo, kì sì í ṣe ti ẹlòmíràn; ọkàn mi sì dákú ní inú mi.
28 If you say, 'How we will persecute him, because the root of the matter is found in him.'
“Bí ẹ̀yin bá wí pé, ‘Àwa ó ti lépa rẹ̀ tó! Àti pé, gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ náà ni a sá à rí ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀,’
29 Be afraid of the sword, for wrath brings the punishments of the sword, that you may know there is a judgment."
kí ẹ̀yin kí ó bẹ̀rù, nítorí ìbínú ní í mú ìjìyà wá nípa idà, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó lè mọ̀ pé ìdájọ́ kan ń bẹ.”
