Job 20
1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said:
Ìgbà náà ní Sofari, ará Naama dáhùn, ó sì wí pé,
2 For this do my thoughts lead me to reply, And for this is my ardor within me.
“Nítorí náà ní ìrò inú mi dá mi lóhùn, àti nítorí èyí náà ní mo sì yára si gidigidi.
3 I have heard my shameful rebuke; And the spirit, from my understanding, answereth for me.
Mo ti gbọ́ ẹ̀san ẹ̀gàn mi, ẹ̀mí òye mi sì dá mi lóhùn.
4 Knowest thou not, that from the days of old, From the time when man was placed upon the earth,
“Ìwọ kò mọ̀ èyí rí ní ìgbà àtijọ́, láti ìgbà tí a sọ ènìyàn lọ́jọ̀ sílé ayé,
5 The triumphing of the wicked hath been short, And the joy of the impious but for a moment?
pé, orin ayọ̀ ènìyàn búburú, ìgbà kúkúrú ni, àti pé, ní ìṣẹ́jú kan ní ayọ̀ àgàbàgebè?
6 Though his greatness mount up to the heavens, And his head reach to the clouds,
Bí ọláńlá rẹ̀ tilẹ̀ gòkè dé ọ̀run, ti orí rẹ̀ sì kan àwọsánmọ̀;
7 Yet shall he perish for ever, and be mingled with dust; They who saw 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 flee away like a dream, and shall not be found; Yea, he shall disappear like a vision of the nigh.
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, And his dwelling-place shall never 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 sons shall seek the favor of the poor, And their hands shall give back his wealth.
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 his youth, But they 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 cherish it, and will not part with it, And keep it fast in 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 shall be changed within him, And become to him the poison of asps.
ṣùgbọ́n oúnjẹ rẹ̀ nínú ikùn rẹ̀ ti yípadà, ó jásí òróró paramọ́lẹ̀ nínú rẹ̀;
15 He hath glutted himself with riches, And he shall throw them up again; Yea, God shall cast them out of his body.
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 tongue of the viper shall destroy him.
Ó ti fà oró paramọ́lẹ̀ mú; ahọ́n ejò olóró ní yóò pa á.
17 He shall never see the flowing streams, And the rivers of honey and milk.
Kì yóò rí odò wọ̀n-ọn-nì, ìṣàn omi, odò tí ń ṣàn fún oyin àti ti òrí-àmọ́.
18 The fruits of his toil he shall give back, and shall not enjoy them: It is substance to be restored, 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 abandoned the poor, And seized upon the house which he did not build;
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 Because he knew no rest in his bosom, He shall not save that in which he delighteth.
“Nítorí òun kò mọ̀ ìwà pẹ̀lẹ́ nínú ara rẹ̀, kì yóò sì gbà nínú èyí tí ọkàn rẹ̀ fẹ́ sílẹ̀.
21 Because nothing escaped his greediness, His prosperity shall not endure.
Ohun kan kò kù fún jíjẹ́ rẹ̀; nítorí náà ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ kì yóò dúró pẹ́.
22 In the fulness of his abundance he shall be brought low; Every hand of the wretched shall come upon him.
Nínú ànító rẹ̀, ìdààmú yóò dé bá a; àwọn ènìyàn búburú yóò dáwọ́jọ lé e lórí.
23 He shall, indeed, have wherewith to fill himself: God shall send upon him the fury of his anger, And rain it down upon him for his food.
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 If he fleeth from the iron weapon, The bow of brass shall pierce him through.
Bi o tilẹ̀ sá kúrò lọ́wọ́ ohun ìjà ìrìn; ọrun akọ irin ní yóò ta a po yọ.
25 He draweth the arrow, and it cometh forth from his body; Yea, the glittering steel 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 Calamity of every kind is treasured up for him. A fire not blown shall consume him; It shall consume whatever is left in his tent.
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 heavens 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 substance of his house shall disappear; It 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 Such is the portion of the wicked man from God, And the inheritance appointed for him by the Almighty.
Èyí ni ìpín ènìyàn búburú láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run wá, àti ogún tí a yàn sílẹ̀ fún un láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run.”
