Job 19
1 Ìgbà náà ni Jobu dáhùn, ó sì wí pé:
Bvt Iob 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?
Howe long will yee vexe my soule, and torment me with wordes?
3 Ìgbà mẹ́wàá ní yin yọ mi lénu ẹ̀yin ti ń gàn mí; ojú kò tì yín tí ẹ fi jẹ mí ní yà.
Ye haue now ten times reproched me, and are not ashamed: ye are impudent toward mee.
4 Kí a sì wí bẹ́ẹ̀ pé, mo ṣìnà nítòótọ́, ìṣìnà mi wà lára èmi tìkára mi.
And though I had in deede erred, mine errour remaineth 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 in deede if ye will aduance your selues against me, and rebuke me for my reproche,
6 kí ẹ mọ̀ nísinsin yìí pé, Ọlọ́run ni ó bì mí ṣubú, ó sì nà àwọ̀n rẹ̀ yí mi ká.
Know nowe, that God hath ouerthrowen me, and hath compassed me with his net.
7 “Kíyèsi, èmi ń kígbe pe, ‘Ọwọ́ alágbára!’ Ṣùgbọ́n a kò gbọ́ ti èmi; mo kígbe fún ìrànlọ́wọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí ìdájọ́.
Beholde, I crie out of violence, but I haue none answere: I crie, but there is no iudgement.
8 Ó ṣọgbà dí ọ̀nà mi tí èmi kò le è kọjá, Ó sì mú òkùnkùn ṣú sí ipa ọ̀nà mi.
Hee hath hedged vp my way that I cannot passe, and he hath set darkenesse in my paths.
9 Ó ti bọ́ ògo mi, ó sì ṣí adé kúrò ní orí mi.
Hee hath spoyled mee of mine honour, and taken the crowne away from mine 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 mee on euery side and I am gone: and he hath remoued mine hope like a tree.
11 Ó sì tiná bọ ìbínú rẹ̀ sí mi, ó sì kà mí sí bí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ̀.
And he hath kindled his wrath against me, and counteth mee as one of his enemies.
12 Ẹgbẹ́ ogun rẹ̀ sì dàpọ̀ sí mi, wọ́n sì mọ odi yí mi ká, wọ́n sì yí àgọ́ mi ká.
His armies came together, and made their way vpon me, and camped about my tabernacle.
13 “Ó mú àwọn arákùnrin mi jìnà sí mi réré, àti àwọn ojúlùmọ̀ mi di àjèjì sí mi pátápátá.
He hath remooued my brethre farre from me, and also mine acquaintance were strangers vnto me.
14 Àwọn alájọbí mi fàsẹ́yìn, àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ tímọ́tímọ́ mi sì di onígbàgbé mi.
My neighbours haue forsaken me, and my familiars haue 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 dwel in mine house, and my maydes tooke me for a stranger: for I was a stranger in their sight.
16 Mo pe ìránṣẹ́ mi, òun kò sì dá mi lóhùn; mo fi ẹnu mi bẹ̀ ẹ́.
I called my seruant, but he would not answere, though I prayed him with my mouth.
17 Ẹ̀mí mi ṣú àyà mi, àti òórùn mi ṣú àwọn ọmọ inú ìyá mi.
My breath was strange vnto my wife, though I prayed her for the childrens sake of mine owne body.
18 Àní àwọn ọmọdékùnrin fi mí ṣẹ̀sín, mo dìde, wọ́n sì sọ̀rọ̀ ẹ̀gàn sí mi.
The wicked also despised mee, and when I rose, they spake against me.
19 Gbogbo àwọn ọ̀rẹ́ kòríkòsùn mi kórìíra mi, àwọn olùfẹ́ mi sì kẹ̀yìndà mí.
All my secret friends abhorred me, and they whome I loued, are turned against me.
20 Egungun mi lẹ̀ mọ́ ara mi àti mọ́ ẹran-ara mi, mo sì yọ́ pẹ̀lú awọ eyín mi.
My bone cleaueth to my skinne and to my flesh, and I haue escaped with the skinne of my teeth.
21 “Ẹ ṣàánú fún mi, ẹ ṣàánú fún mi, ẹ̀yin ọ̀rẹ́ mi, nítorí ọwọ́ Ọlọ́run ti bà mí.
Haue pitie vpon me: haue pitie vpon me, (O yee my friendes) for the hande of God hath touched me.
22 Nítorí kí ni ẹ̀yin ṣe lépa mi bí Ọlọ́run, tí ẹran-ara mi kò tẹ́ yín lọ́rùn?
Why do ye persecute me, as God? and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23 “Háà! Ìbá ṣe pé a le kọ̀wé ọ̀rọ̀ mi nísinsin yìí, ìbá ṣe pé a le kọ ọ sínú ìwé!
Oh that my wordes were nowe written! oh that they were written euen in a booke,
24 Kí a fi kálámù irin àti ti òjé kọ wọ́n sínú àpáta fún láéláé.
And grauen with an yron pen in lead, or in stone for euer!
25 Nítorí èmi mọ̀ pé olùdáǹdè mi ń bẹ láààyè àti pe òun ni yóò dìde dúró lórí ilẹ̀ ní ìkẹyìn;
For I am sure, that my Redeemer liueth, and he shall stand the last on the earth.
26 àti lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí a pa àwọ̀ ara mi run, síbẹ̀ láìsí ẹran-ara mi ni èmi ó rí Ọlọ́run,
And though after my skin wormes destroy this bodie, yet shall I see God in my flesh.
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.
Whome I my selfe shall see, and mine eyes shall beholde, and none other for me, though my reynes are consumed within me.
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,’
But yee sayde, Why is hee persecuted? And there was a deepe matter in me.
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.”
Be ye afraide of the sworde: for the sworde will be auenged of wickednesse, that yee may knowe that there is a iudgement.
