Job 18
1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
Ìgbà náà ni Bilidadi, ará Ṣuhi, dáhùn, ó sì wí pé,
2 “When will you stop your talk? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.
“Nígbà wo ni ẹ̀yin yóò tó fi ìdí ọ̀rọ̀ tì; ẹ rò ó, nígbẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ ni àwa ó tó máa sọ.
3 Why are we regarded as beasts, stupid in your sight?
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 You who tear at yourself in your anger, should the earth be forsaken for you or should the rocks be removed out of their places?
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 Indeed, the light of the wicked person will be put out; the spark of his fire will not shine.
“Nítòótọ́ ìmọ́lẹ̀ ènìyàn búburú ni a ó pa kúrò, ọ̀wọ́-iná rẹ̀ kì yóò sì tan ìmọ́lẹ̀.
6 The light will be dark in his tent; his lamp above him will be put out.
Ìmọ́lẹ̀ yóò di òkùnkùn nínú àgọ́ rẹ̀, fìtílà ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ̀ ni a ó sì pa pẹ̀lú.
7 The steps of his strength will be made short; his own plans will cast him down.
Ìrìn ẹsẹ̀ agbára rẹ̀ yóò di fífọ; ète òun tìkára rẹ̀ ni yóò bí i ṣubú.
8 For he will be thrown into a net by his own feet; he will walk into a pitfall.
Nípa ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ òun tìkára rẹ̀ ó ti bọ́ sínú àwọ̀n, ó sì rìn lórí okùn dídẹ.
9 A trap will take him by the heel; a snare will lay hold on him.
Tàkúté ni yóò mú un ní gìgísẹ̀, àwọn àwọ̀n tí a dẹ yóò sì ṣẹ́gun rẹ̀.
10 A noose is hidden for him on the ground; and a trap for him in the way.
A dẹkùn sílẹ̀ fún un lórí ilẹ̀, a sì wà ọ̀fìn fún un lójú ọ̀nà.
11 Terrors will make him afraid on every side; they will chase him at his heels.
Ẹ̀rù ńlá yóò bà á ní ìhà gbogbo, yóò sì lé e dé ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.
12 His wealth will turn into hunger, and calamity will be ready at his side.
Àìlera rẹ̀ yóò di púpọ̀ fún ebi, ìparun yóò dìde dúró sí i nígbà tí ó bá ṣubú.
13 The parts of his body will be devoured; indeed, the firstborn of death will devour his parts.
Yóò jẹ ẹ̀yà ara rẹ̀; ikú àkọ́bí ni yóò jẹ agbára rẹ̀ run.
14 He is torn from the safety of his tent and marched off to the king of terrors.
A ó fà á tu kúrò nínú àgọ́ tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀lé, a ó sì mú un tọ ọba ẹ̀rù ńlá nì lọ.
15 People not his own will live in his tent after they see that sulfur is scattered within his home.
Yóò sì máa jókòó nínú àgọ́ rẹ̀ èyí tí í ṣe tirẹ̀; sulfuru ti o jóná ni a ó fún káàkiri ibùgbé rẹ̀.
16 His roots will be dried up beneath; above will his branch be cut off.
Gbòǹgbò rẹ̀ yóò gbẹ níṣàlẹ̀, a ó sì ké ẹ̀ka rẹ̀ kúrò lókè.
17 His memory will perish from the earth; he will have no name in the street.
Ìrántí rẹ̀ yóò parun kúrò ni ayé, kì yóò sí orúkọ rẹ̀ ní ìgboro ìlú.
18 He will be driven from light into darkness and be chased out of this world.
A ó sì lé e láti inú ìmọ́lẹ̀ sí inú òkùnkùn, a ó sì lé e kúrò ní ayé.
19 He will have no son or son's son among his people, nor any remaining kinfolk where he had stayed.
Kì yóò ní ọmọ tàbí ọmọ ọmọ nínú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí ẹnikẹ́ni tí yóò kù nínú agbo ilé rẹ̀.
20 Those who live in the west will be horrified at what happens to him one day; those who live in the east will be frightened by it.
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 Surely such are the homes of unrighteous people, the places of those who do not know God.”
Nítòótọ́ irú bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ibùgbé àwọn ènìyàn búburú, èyí sì ni ipò ẹni tí kò mọ̀ Ọlọ́run.”
