Job 19
1 Ìgbà náà ni Jobu dáhùn, ó sì wí pé:
Then Job answered, and said:
2 “Yóò ti pẹ́ tó tí ẹ̀yin ó fi máa fi ìyà jẹ mí, tí ẹ̀yin ó fi máa fi ọ̀rọ̀ yìí?
How long do you afflict my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
3 Ìgbà mẹ́wàá ní yin yọ mi lénu ẹ̀yin ti ń gàn mí; ojú kò tì yín tí ẹ fi jẹ mí ní yà.
Behold, these ten times you confound me, and are not ashamed to oppress me.
4 Kí a sì wí bẹ́ẹ̀ pé, mo ṣìnà nítòótọ́, ìṣìnà mi wà lára èmi tìkára mi.
For if I have been ignorant, my ignorance shall be with me.
5 Bí ó tilẹ̀ ṣe pé ẹ̀yin ó ṣògo si mi lórí nítòótọ́, tí ẹ ó sì máa fi ẹ̀gàn mi gún mí lójú,
But you have set yourselves up against me, and reprove me with my reproaches.
6 kí ẹ mọ̀ nísinsin yìí pé, Ọlọ́run ni ó bì mí ṣubú, ó sì nà àwọ̀n rẹ̀ yí mi ká.
At least now understand, that God hath not afflicted me with an equal judgment, and compassed me with his scourges.
7 “Kíyèsi, èmi ń kígbe pe, ‘Ọwọ́ alágbára!’ Ṣùgbọ́n a kò gbọ́ ti èmi; mo kígbe fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí ìdájọ́.
Behold I cry suffering violence, and no one will hear: I shall cry aloud, and there is none to judge.
8 Ó ṣọgbà dí ọ̀nà mi tí èmi kò le è kọjá, Ó sì mú òkùnkùn ṣú sí ipa ọ̀nà mi.
He hath hedged in my path round about, and I cannot pass, and in my way he hath set darkness.
9 Ó ti bọ́ ògo mi, ó sì ṣí adé kúrò ní orí mi.
He hath stripped me of my glory, and hath taken the crown from my head.
10 Ó ti bà mí jẹ́ ní ìhà gbogbo, ẹ̀mí sì pin; ìrètí mi ni a ó sì fàtu bí igi.
He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am lost, and he hath taken away my hope, as from a tree that is plucked up.
11 Ó sì tiná bọ ìbínú rẹ̀ sí mi, ó sì kà mí sí bí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀.
His wrath is kindled against me, and he hath counted me as his enemy.
12 Ẹgbẹ́ ogun rẹ̀ sì dàpọ̀ sí mi, wọ́n sì mọ odi yí mi ká, wọ́n sì yí àgọ́ mi ká.
His troops have come together, and have made themselves a way by me, and have besieged my tabernacle round about.
13 “Ó mú àwọn arákùnrin mi jìnà sí mi réré, àti àwọn ojúlùmọ̀ mi di àjèjì sí mi pátápátá.
He hath put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintance like strangers have departed from me.
14 Àwọn alájọbí mi fàsẹ́yìn, àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ tímọ́tímọ́ mi sì di onígbàgbé mi.
My kinsmen have forsaken me, and they that knew me, have forgotten me.
15 Àwọn ará inú ilé mi àti àwọn ìránṣẹ́bìnrin mi kà mí sí àjèjì; èmi jásí àjèjì ènìyàn ní ojú wọn.
They that dwelt in my house, and my maidservants have counted me a stranger, and I have been like an alien in their eyes.
16 Mo pe ìránṣẹ́ mi, òun kò sì dá mi lóhùn; mo fi ẹnu mi bẹ̀ ẹ́.
I called my servant, and he gave me no answer, I entreated him with my own mouth.
17 Ẹ̀mí mi ṣú àyà mi, àti òórùn mi ṣú àwọn ọmọ inú ìyá mi.
My wife hath abhorred my breath, and I entreated the children of my womb.
18 Àní àwọn ọmọdékùnrin fi mí ṣẹ̀sín, mo dìde, wọ́n sì sọ̀rọ̀ ẹ̀gàn sí mi.
Even fools despise me; and when I gone from them, they spoke against me.
19 Gbogbo àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ kòríkòsùn mi kórìíra mi, àwọn olùfẹ́ mi sì kẹ̀yìndà mí.
They that were sometime my counsellors, have abhorred me: and he whom I love most is turned against me.
20 Egungun mi lẹ̀ mọ́ ara mi àti mọ́ ẹran-ara mi, mo sì yọ́ pẹ̀lú awọ eyín mi.
The flesh being consumed. My bone hath cleaved to my skin, and nothing but lips are left about my teeth.
21 “Ẹ ṣàánú fún mi, ẹ ṣàánú fún mi, ẹ̀yin ọ̀rẹ́ mi, nítorí ọwọ́ Ọlọ́run ti bà mí.
Have pity on me, have pity on me, at least you my friends, because the hand of the Lord hath touched me.
22 Nítorí kí ni ẹ̀yin ṣe lépa mi bí Ọlọ́run, tí ẹran-ara mi kò tẹ́ yín lọ́rùn?
Why do you persecute me as God, and glut yourselves with my flesh?
23 “Háà! Ìbá ṣe pé a le kọ̀wé ọ̀rọ̀ mi nísinsin yìí, ìbá ṣe pé a le kọ ọ sínú ìwé!
Who will grant me that my words may be written? Who will grant me that they may be marked down in a book?
24 Kí a fi kálámù irin àti ti òjé kọ wọ́n sínú àpáta fún láéláé.
With an iron pen and in a plate of lead, or else be graven with an instrument in flint stone.
25 Nítorí èmi mọ̀ pé olùdáǹdè mi ń bẹ láààyè àti pe òun ni yóò dìde dúró lórí ilẹ̀ ní ìkẹyìn;
For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and in the last day I shall rise out of the earth.
26 àti lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí a pa àwọ̀ ara mi run, síbẹ̀ láìsí ẹran-ara mi ni èmi ó rí Ọlọ́run,
And I shall be clothed again with my skin, and in my flesh I will see my God.
27 ẹni tí èmi ó rí fún ara mi, tí ojú mi ó sì wo, kì sì í ṣe ti ẹlòmíràn; ọkàn mi sì dákú ní inú mi.
Whom I myself shall see, and my eyes shall behold, and not another: this my hope is laid up in my bosom.
28 “Bí ẹ̀yin bá wí pé, ‘Àwa ó ti lépa rẹ̀ tó! Àti pé, gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ náà ni a sá à rí ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀,’
Why then do you say now: Let us persecute him, and let us find occasion of word against him?
29 kí ẹ̀yin kí ó bẹ̀rù, nítorí ìbínú ní í mú ìjìyà wá nípa idà, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó lè mọ̀ pé ìdájọ́ kan ń bẹ.”
Flee then from the face of the sword, for the sword is the revenger of iniquities: and know ye that there is judgment.
