Job 13
1 “Wò ó, ojú mi ti rí gbogbo èyí rí, etí mí sì gbọ́, ó sì ti yé mi.
Loe, mine eye hath seene all this: mine eare hath heard, and vnderstande it.
2 Ohun tí ẹ̀yin mọ̀, èmi mọ̀ pẹ̀lú, èmi kò kéré sí i yin.
I knowe also as much as you knowe: I am not inferiour vnto you.
3 Nítòótọ́ èmi ó bá Olódùmarè sọ̀rọ̀, èmi sì ń fẹ́ bá Ọlọ́run sọ àsọyé.
But I will speake to the Almightie, and I desire to dispute with God.
4 Ẹ̀yin fi irọ́ bá mi sọ̀rọ̀, oníṣègùn lásán ni gbogbo yín.
For in deede ye forge lyes, and all you are physitions of no value.
5 Háà! ẹ̀yin kì bá kúkú dákẹ́! Èyí ni kì bá sì ṣe ọgbọ́n yín.
Oh, that you woulde holde your tongue, that it might be imputed to you for wisedome!
6 Ẹ gbọ́ àwíyé mi nísinsin yìí; ẹ sì fetísílẹ̀ sí àròyé ẹnu mi.
Nowe heare my disputation, and giue eare to the arguments of my lips.
7 Ẹ̀yin fẹ́ sọ ìsọkúsọ fún Ọlọ́run? Ki ẹ sì fi ẹ̀tàn sọ̀rọ̀ gbè é?
Will ye speake wickedly for Gods defence, and talke deceitfully for his cause?
8 Ẹ̀yin fẹ́ ṣe ojúsàájú rẹ̀? Ẹ̀yin fẹ́ gbèjà fún Ọlọ́run?
Will ye accept his person? or will ye contende for God?
9 Ó ha dára to tí yóò hú àṣírí yín síta, tàbí kí ẹ̀yin tàn án bí ẹnìkan ti í tan ẹnìkejì?
Is it well that he shoulde seeke of you? will you make a lye for him, as one lyeth for a man?
10 Yóò máa bá yín wí nítòótọ́, bí ẹ̀yin bá ṣe ojúsàájú ènìyàn níkọ̀kọ̀.
He will surely reprooue you, if ye doe secretly accept any person.
11 Ìwà ọlá rẹ̀ kì yóò bà yín lẹ́rù bí? Ìpayà rẹ̀ kì yóò pá yín láyà?
Shall not his excellencie make you afraid? and his feare fall vpon you?
12 Àwọn òwe yín dàbí eérú, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn odi ìlú yin dàbí amọ̀.
Your memories may be compared vnto ashes, and your bodyes to bodyes of clay.
13 “Ẹ pa ẹnu yín mọ́ kúrò lára mi, kí èmi kí ó lè sọ̀rọ̀, ki ohun tí ń bọ̀ wá í bá mi, le è máa bọ̀.
Holde your tongues in my presence, that I may speake, and let come vpon what will.
14 Ǹjẹ́ nítorí kí ni èmi ṣe ń fi eyín mi bu ẹran-ara mi jẹ, tí mo sì gbé ẹ̀mí mi lé ara mi lọ́wọ́?
Wherefore doe I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my soule in mine hande?
15 Bí ó tilẹ̀ pa mí, síbẹ̀ èmi ó máa gbẹ́kẹ̀lé e, èmi ó máa tẹnumọ́ ọ̀nà mi níwájú rẹ̀.
Loe, though he slay me, yet will I trust in him, and I will reprooue my wayes in his sight.
16 Èyí ni yóò sì ṣe ìgbàlà mi, àgàbàgebè kì yóò wá síwájú rẹ̀.
He shalbe my saluation also: for the hypocrite shall not come before him.
17 Ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu mi ní ìfarabalẹ̀, jẹ́ kí ọ̀rọ̀ mí dún ni etí yín.
Heare diligently my wordes, and marke my talke.
18 Wò ó nísinsin yìí, èmi ti mura ọ̀ràn mi sílẹ̀; èmi mọ̀ pé a ó dá mi láre.
Beholde nowe: if I prepare me to iudgement, I knowe that I shalbe iustified.
19 Ta ni òun ti yóò bá mi ṣàròyé? Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, èmi fẹ́ pa ẹnu mi mọ́, èmi ó sì jọ̀wọ́ ẹ̀mí mi lọ́wọ́.
Who is he, that will pleade with me? for if I nowe holde my tongue, I dye.
20 “Ṣùgbọ́n, má ṣe ṣe ohun méjì yìí sí mi, nígbà náà ni èmi kì yóò sì fi ara mi pamọ́ kúrò fún ọ.
But doe not these two things vnto me: then will I not hide my selfe from thee.
21 Fa ọwọ́ rẹ sẹ́yìn kúrò lára mi, má sì jẹ́ kí ẹ̀rù rẹ kí ó pá mi láyà.
Withdrawe thine hande from me, and let not thy feare make me afraide.
22 Nígbà náà ni kí ìwọ kí ó pè, èmi o sì dáhùn, tàbí jẹ́ kí ń máa sọ̀rọ̀, ki ìwọ kí ó sì dá mi lóhùn.
Then call thou, and I will answere: or let me speake, and answere thou me.
23 Mélòó ní àìṣedéédéé àti ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi? Mú mi mọ̀ ìrékọjá àti ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ mi.
Howe many are mine iniquities and sinnes? shewe me my rebellion, and my sinne.
24 Nítorí kí ni ìwọ ṣe pa ojú rẹ mọ́, tí o sì yàn mí ní ọ̀tá rẹ?
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and takest me for thine enemie?
25 Ìwọ ó fa ewé ti afẹ́fẹ́ ń fẹ́ síyìn-ín sọ́hùn-ún ya bi? Ìwọ a sì máa lépa ìyàngbò?
Wilt thou breake a leafe driuen to and from? and wilt thou pursue the drie stubble?
26 Nítorí pé ìwọ kọ̀wé ohun kíkorò sí mi, o sì mú mi jogún àìṣedéédéé èwe mi.
For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possesse the iniquities of my youth.
27 Ìwọ kàn àbà mọ́ mi lẹ́sẹ̀ pẹ̀lú, ìwọ sì ń wò ipa ọ̀nà ìrìn mi ní àwòfín; nípa fífi ìlà yí gígísẹ̀ mi ká.
Thou puttest my feete also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly vnto all my pathes, and makest the print thereof in ye heeles of my feet.
28 “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ènìyàn ń ṣègbé bí ohun ìdíbàjẹ́, bi aṣọ tí kòkòrò jẹ.
Such one consumeth like a rotten thing, and as a garment that is motheaten.
