Job 20
1 Then Zophar the Naamathite answered,
Ìgbà náà ní Sofari, ará Naama dáhùn, ó sì wí pé,
2 “Therefore my thoughts answer me, even by reason of my haste that is in me.
“Nítorí náà ní ìrò inú mi dá mi lóhùn, àti nítorí èyí náà ní mo sì yára si gidigidi.
3 I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame. The spirit of my understanding answers me.
Mo ti gbọ́ ẹ̀san ẹ̀gàn mi, ẹ̀mí òye mi sì dá mi lóhùn.
4 Don’t you know this from old time, since man was placed on earth,
“Ìwọ kò mọ̀ èyí rí ní ìgbà àtijọ́, láti ìgbà tí a sọ ènìyàn lọ́jọ̀ sílé ayé,
5 that the triumphing of the wicked is short, the joy of the godless but for a moment?
pé, orin ayọ̀ ènìyàn búburú, ìgbà kúkúrú ni, àti pé, ní ìṣẹ́jú kan ní ayọ̀ àgàbàgebè?
6 Though his height 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 he will perish forever like his own dung. Those who have seen him will 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 will fly away as a dream, and will not be found. Yes, he will be chased away like a vision of the night.
Yóò fò lọ bí àlá, a kì yóò sì rí i, àní a ó lé e lọ bi ìran òru.
9 The eye which saw him will see him no more, neither will his place see him any more.
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 children will seek the favour of the poor. His hands will 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 youth will 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 is 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 spare it, and will not let it go, but keep it still within 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 food in his bowels is turned. It is cobra venom within him.
ṣùgbọ́n oúnjẹ rẹ̀ nínú ikùn rẹ̀ ti yípadà, ó jásí òróró paramọ́lẹ̀ nínú rẹ̀;
15 He has swallowed down riches, and he will vomit them up again. God will cast them out of his belly.
Ó ti gbé ọrọ̀ mì, yóò sì tún bí i jáde; Ọlọ́run yóò pọ̀ ọ́ yọ jáde láti inú rẹ̀ wá.
16 He will suck cobra venom. The viper’s tongue will kill him.
Ó ti fà oró paramọ́lẹ̀ mú; ahọ́n ejò olóró ní yóò pa á.
17 He will not look at the rivers, the flowing streams of honey and butter.
Kì yóò rí odò wọ̀n-ọn-nì, ìṣàn omi, odò tí ń ṣàn fún oyin àti ti òrí-àmọ́.
18 He will restore that for which he laboured, and will not swallow it down. He will not rejoice according to the substance that he has gotten.
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 For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor. He has violently taken away a house, and he will not build it up.
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 quietness within him, he will not save anything of that in which he delights.
“Nítorí òun kò mọ̀ ìwà pẹ̀lẹ́ nínú ara rẹ̀, kì yóò sì gbà nínú èyí tí ọkàn rẹ̀ fẹ́ sílẹ̀.
21 There was nothing left that he didn’t devour, therefore his prosperity will not endure.
Ohun kan kò kù fún jíjẹ́ rẹ̀; nítorí náà ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ kì yóò dúró pẹ́.
22 In the fullness of his sufficiency, distress will overtake him. The hand of everyone who is in misery will come on him.
Nínú ànító rẹ̀, ìdààmú yóò dé bá a; àwọn ènìyàn búburú yóò dáwọ́jọ lé e lórí.
23 When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him. It will rain on him while he is eating.
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 He will flee from the iron weapon. The bronze arrow will strike him through.
Bi o tilẹ̀ sá kúrò lọ́wọ́ ohun ìjà ìrìn; ọrun akọ irin ní yóò ta a po yọ.
25 He draws it out, and it comes out of his body. Yes, the glittering point comes out of his liver. Terrors are on 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 All darkness is laid up for his treasures. An unfanned fire will devour him. It will consume that which 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 will reveal his iniquity. The earth will rise up against him.
Ọ̀run yóò fi ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ rẹ hàn, ayé yóò sì dìde dúró sí i.
28 The increase of his house will depart. They will rush 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 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, the heritage appointed to him by God.”
Èyí ni ìpín ènìyàn búburú láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run wá, àti ogún tí a yàn sílẹ̀ fún un láti ọ̀dọ̀ Ọlọ́run.”
