Job 10
1 “Agara ìwà ayé mi dá mi tán; èmi yóò tú àròyé mi sókè lọ́dọ̀ mi èmi yóò máa sọ̀rọ̀ nínú kíkorò ìbìnújẹ́ ọkàn mi.
I am weary of my life; I will give free expression to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 Èmi yóò wí fún Ọlọ́run pé, má ṣe dá mi lẹ́bi; fihàn mí nítorí ìdí ohun tí ìwọ fi ń bá mi jà.
I will say to God, 'Do not merely condemn me; show me why you accuse me.
3 Ó ha tọ́ tí ìwọ ìbá fi máa ni mí lára, tí ìwọ ìbá fi máa gan iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ rẹ, tí ìwọ yóò fi máa tàn ìmọ́lẹ̀ sí ìmọ̀ ènìyàn búburú?
Is it good to you that you should oppress me, to despise the work of your hands while you smile on the plans of the wicked?
4 Ojú rẹ kì ha ṣe ojú ènìyàn bí? Tàbí ìwọ a máa ríran bí ènìyàn ti í ríran?
Do you have eyes of flesh? Do you see like a man sees?
5 Ọjọ́ rẹ ha dàbí ọjọ́ ènìyàn, ọdún rẹ ha dàbí ọjọ́ ènìyàn,
Are your days like the days of mankind or your years like the years of people,
6 tí ìwọ fi ń béèrè àìṣedéédéé mi, tí ìwọ sì fi wá ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi rí?
that you inquire after my iniquity and search after my sin,
7 Ìwọ mọ̀ pé èmi kì í ṣe oníwà búburú, kò sì sí ẹni tí ó le gbà mí kúrò ní ọwọ́ rẹ?
although you know I am not guilty and there is no one who can rescue me from your hand?
8 “Ọwọ́ rẹ ni ó mọ mi, tí ó sì da mi. Síbẹ̀ ìwọ tún yípadà láti jẹ mí run.
Your hands have framed and fashioned me together round about, yet you are destroying me.
9 Èmi bẹ̀ ọ́ rántí pé ìwọ ti mọ mí bí amọ̀. Ìwọ yóò ha sì tún mú mi padà lọ sínú erùpẹ̀?
Call to mind, I beg you, that you have fashioned me like clay; will you bring me into dust again?
10 Ìwọ kò ha ti tú mí dà jáde bí i wàrà, ìwọ kò sì mú mí dìpọ̀ bí i wàràǹkàṣì?
Have you not poured me out like milk and curdled me like cheese?
11 Ìwọ sá ti fi àwọ̀ ẹran-ara wọ̀ mí, ìwọ sì fi egungun àti iṣan ṣọgbà yí mi ká.
You have clothed me with skin and flesh and knit me together with bones and sinews.
12 Ìwọ ti fún mi ní ẹ̀mí àti ojúrere, ìbẹ̀wò rẹ sì pa ọkàn mi mọ́.
You have granted me life and covenant faithfulness; your help has guarded my spirit.
13 “Nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni ìwọ sì ti fi pamọ́ nínú rẹ; èmi mọ̀ pé, èyí ń bẹ ní ọkàn rẹ.
Yet these things you hid in your heart— I know that this is what you were thinking:
14 Bí mo bá ṣẹ̀, nígbà náà ni ìwọ yóò máa ṣọ́ mi ìwọ kì yóò sì dárí àìṣedéédéé mi jì.
that if I sinned, you would notice it; you would not acquit me of my iniquity.
15 Bí mo bá ṣe ẹni búburú, ègbé ni fún mi! Bí mo bá sì ṣe ẹni rere, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò sì le gbe orí mi sókè, èmi dààmú mo si wo ìpọ́njú mi.
If I have acted wickedly, woe to me; and even if I acted righteously, I could not lift up my head, since I am filled with disgrace— see my affliction!
16 Bí mo bá gbé orí mi ga, ìwọ ń dẹ mí kiri bi i kìnnìún àti pẹ̀lú, ìwọ a sì fi ara rẹ hàn fún mi ní ìyànjú.
If my head were lifted up, you would stalk me like a lion; and again you would show yourself with marvellous acts of power against me.
17 Ìwọ sì tún mu àwọn ẹlẹ́rìí rẹ dìde sí mi di ọ̀tún ìwọ sì sọ ìrunú rẹ di púpọ̀ sí mi; àwọn ogun rẹ si dìde sinmi bi igbe omi Òkun.
You bring new witnesses against me and increase your anger against me; you attack me with fresh armies.
18 “Nítorí kí ni ìwọ ṣe mú mi jáde láti inú wá? Háà! Èmi ìbá kúkú ti kú, ojúkójú kì bá tí rí mi.
Why, then, have you brought me out of the womb? I wish I had given up my spirit and that no eye had ever seen me.
19 Tí kò bá le jẹ́ pé èmi wà láààyè, à bá ti gbé mi láti inú lọ isà òkú.
I would have been as though I had never existed; I would have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 Ọjọ́ mi kò ha kúrú bí? Rárá! Dáwọ́ dúró, kí ó sì yí padà kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi. Nítorí kí èmi lè ni ayọ̀ ní ìṣẹ́jú kan.
Are not my days only a few? Stop then, let me alone, so that I may have a little rest
21 Kí èmi kí ó tó lọ sí ibi tí èmi kì yóò padà sẹ́yìn mọ́, àní si ilẹ̀ òkùnkùn àti òjìji ikú,
before I go from where I will not return, to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death,
22 ilẹ̀ òkùnkùn bí òkùnkùn tìkára rẹ̀, àti ti òjìji ikú àti rúdurùdu, níbi tí ìmọ́lẹ̀ dàbí òkùnkùn.”
the land that is as dark as midnight, the land of the shadow of death, without any order, where the light is like midnight.'”
