And he answered Job and he said.
2 “Àní lónìí ni ọ̀ràn mi korò; ọwọ́ mí sì wúwo sí ìkérora mi.
Also this day [the] rebellion of complaint my hand my it is heavy on groaning my.
3 Háà! èmi ìbá mọ ibi tí èmí ìbá wá Ọlọ́run rí, kí èmí kí ó tọ̀ ọ́ lọ sí ibùgbé rẹ̀!
Who? will he give I knew and I will find him I will come to place his.
4 Èmi ìbá sì to ọ̀ràn náà níwájú rẹ̀, ẹnu mi ìbá sì kún fún àròyé.
Let me set in order before him a case and mouth my let me fill arguments.
5 Èmi ìbá sì mọ ọ̀rọ̀ tí òun ìbá fi dá mi lóhùn; òye ohun tí ìbáwí a sì yé mi.
I want to know [the] words [which] he will answer me and I want to understand what? will he say to me.
6 Yóò ha fi agbára ńlá bá mi wíjọ́ bí? Àgbẹdọ̀, kìkì pé òun yóò sì kíyèsi mi.
¿ With greatness of power will he conduct a case with me not surely he he will put on me.
7 Níbẹ̀ ni olódodo le è bá a wíjọ́, níwájú rẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi yóò sì bọ́ ni ọwọ́ onídàájọ́ mi láéláé.
There an upright [person] [will be] reasoning with him and I will deliver to perpetuity from judge my.
8 “Sì wò ó, bí èmi bá lọ sí iwájú, òun kò sí níbẹ̀, àti sí ẹ̀yìn, èmi kò sì rí òye rẹ̀.
Here! forward I go and there not [is] he and backwards and not I perceive him.
9 Ni apá òsì bí ó bá ṣiṣẹ́ níbẹ̀, èmi kò rí i, ó fi ara rẹ̀ pamọ́ ni apá ọ̀tún, tí èmi kò le è rí i.
[the] left [side] When acts he and not I see [him] he turns [the] right [side] and not I see [him].
10 Ṣùgbọ́n òun mọ ọ̀nà tí èmi ń tọ̀, nígbà tí ó bá dán mí wò, èmi yóò jáde bí wúrà.
That he knows [the] way with me he has tested me like gold I will come forth.
11 Ẹsẹ̀ mí ti tẹ̀lé ipasẹ̀ ìrìn rẹ̀; ọ̀nà rẹ̀ ni mo ti kíyèsi, tí ń kò sì yà kúrò.
On step his it has taken hold foot my way his I have kept and not I have turned aside.
12 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò padà sẹ́yìn kúrò nínú òfin ẹnu rẹ̀, èmi sì pa ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu rẹ̀ mọ́ ju oúnjẹ òòjọ́ lọ.
[the] commandment of Lips his and not I have ceased more than portion my I have treasured up [the] words of mouth his.
13 “Ṣùgbọ́n onínú kan ni òun, ta ni yóò sì yí i padà? Èyí tí ọkàn rẹ̀ sì ti fẹ́, èyí náà ní í ṣe.
And he [is] one and who? will he turn back him and [that which] self his it has desired and he has done.
14 Nítòótọ́ ohun tí a ti yàn fún mi ní í ṣe; ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ irú ohun bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó wà ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀.
For he performs decree my and like them many [are] with him.
15 Nítorí náà ni ara kò ṣe rọ̀ mí níwájú rẹ̀; nígbà tí mo bá rò ó, ẹ̀rù a bà mi.
There-fore of him I am terrified I consider and I may be in dread from him.
16 Nítorí pé Ọlọ́run ti pá mi ní àyà, Olódùmarè sì ń dààmú mi.
And God he has made faint heart my and [the] Almighty he has terrified me.
17 Nítorí tí a kò tí ì ké mi kúrò níwájú òkùnkùn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò pa òkùnkùn biribiri mọ́ kúrò níwájú mi.
For not I have been destroyed from before darkness and from before me it covers gloom.
