Job 18
1 Then Bildad replied [again]:
Ìgbà náà ni Bilidadi, ará Ṣuhi, dáhùn, ó sì wí pé,
2 “When are you going to stop talking [RHQ]? If you would stop talking and listen, we could tell you something.
“Nígbà wo ni ẹ̀yin yóò tó fi ìdí ọ̀rọ̀ tì; ẹ rò ó, nígbẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ ni àwa ó tó máa sọ.
3 Why do you think that we are [as stupid] as cattle? [DOU, RHQ]
Nítorí kí ni a ṣe ń kà wá sí bí ẹranko, tí a sì ń kà wá si bí ẹni ẹ̀gàn ní ojú yín?
4 By being [very] angry and hurting yourself, do you think that doing that will shake the earth, or cause the rocks in the mountains to move? [RHQ]?
Ìwọ fa ara rẹ ya pẹ́rẹpẹ̀rẹ nínú ìbínú rẹ̀; kí a ha kọ ayé sílẹ̀ nítorí rẹ̀ bi? Tàbí kí a sí àpáta kúrò ní ipò rẹ̀?
5 “What will happen is that the lives of wicked people [like you] end [as quickly as we can] put out a light or extinguish the flame of a fire.
“Nítòótọ́ ìmọ́lẹ̀ ènìyàn búburú ni a ó pa kúrò, ọ̀wọ́-iná rẹ̀ kì yóò sì tan ìmọ́lẹ̀.
6 And when the lamps above them [in their tents] are extinguished, there will be no light in those tents.
Ìmọ́lẹ̀ yóò di òkùnkùn nínú àgọ́ rẹ̀, fìtílà ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ̀ ni a ó sì pa pẹ̀lú.
7 [For many years] they walked confidently, but later [in life it was as though] they stumbled and fell, because [they themselves did not heed] the advice [that they gave to others].
Ìrìn ẹsẹ̀ agbára rẹ̀ yóò di fífọ; ète òun tìkára rẹ̀ ni yóò bí i ṣubú.
8 [It was as though] they walked into their own net or fell into a pit that they themselves have dug.
Nípa ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ òun tìkára rẹ̀ ó ti bọ́ sínú àwọ̀n, ó sì rìn lórí okùn dídẹ.
9 [It was as though] a trap grabbed their heels and held them fast [DOU],
Tàkúté ni yóò mú un ní gìgísẹ̀, àwọn àwọ̀n tí a dẹ yóò sì ṣẹ́gun rẹ̀.
10 [as though the noose of] a rope that was hidden on the ground, [whose other end was fastened to the limb of a tree], seized them when they walked into it.
A dẹkùn sílẹ̀ fún un lórí ilẹ̀, a sì wà ọ̀fìn fún un lójú ọ̀nà.
11 Everywhere they went, there were things that caused them to be terrified; [it was as though] those things were pursuing them and biting at their heels.
Ẹ̀rù ńlá yóò bà á ní ìhà gbogbo, yóò sì lé e dé ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.
12 They became hungry, with the result that they had no strength. They experienced disasters [PRS] constantly.
Àìlera rẹ̀ yóò di púpọ̀ fún ebi, ìparun yóò dìde dúró sí i nígbà tí ó bá ṣubú.
13 Diseases spread all over their skin/bodies; diseases that (caused their bodies to decay/destroyed their arms and legs).
Yóò jẹ ẹ̀yà ara rẹ̀; ikú àkọ́bí ni yóò jẹ agbára rẹ̀ run.
14 [When they died, ] they were snatched away from their tents and brought to the one who rules over the dead.
A ó fà á tu kúrò nínú àgọ́ tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé, a ó sì mú un tọ ọba ẹ̀rù ńlá nì lọ.
15 Now their tents will burn down, when burning sulfur rains down on those tents!
Yóò sì máa jókòó nínú àgọ́ rẹ̀ èyí tí í ṣe tirẹ̀; sulfuru ti o jóná ni a ó fún káàkiri ibùgbé rẹ̀.
16 [Because those who died had no descendants], they were [like trees whose] roots have dried up and whose branches have all withered [MET].
Gbòǹgbò rẹ̀ yóò gbẹ níṣàlẹ̀, a ó sì ké ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ kúrò lókè.
17 No one on the earth will remember them any more; no [one on any] street [will even remember] their names [MTY].
Ìrántí rẹ̀ yóò parun kúrò ni ayé, kì yóò sí orúkọ rẹ̀ ní ìgboro ìlú.
18 They will be expelled from the earth where there is light, and they will be sent into the place where it is dark.
A ó sì lé e láti inú ìmọ́lẹ̀ sí inú òkùnkùn, a ó sì lé e kúrò ní ayé.
19 They will have no children or grandchildren, no descendants where they previously lived.
Kì yóò ní ọmọ tàbí ọmọ ọmọ nínú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí ẹnikẹ́ni tí yóò kù nínú agbo ilé rẹ̀.
20 People from the east to the west [who hear about what happened to them], will be shocked and horrified.
Ẹnu yóò ya àwọn ìran ti ìwọ̀-oòrùn sí ìgbà ọjọ́ rẹ̀, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀rù ìwárìrì ti í bá àwọn ìran ti ìlà-oòrùn.
21 And that is what happens to ungodly/sinful people [like you], to people who (have no interest in/have rejected) God.”
Nítòótọ́ irú bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ibùgbé àwọn ènìyàn búburú, èyí sì ni ipò ẹni tí kò mọ̀ Ọlọ́run.”
