Job 40
1 Olúwa dá Jobu lóhùn sí pẹ̀lú, ó sì wí pé,
Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,
2 “Ẹni tí ń bá Olódùmarè wíjọ́ yóò ha kọ ní ẹ̀kọ́? Ẹni tí ń bá Ọlọ́run wí jẹ́ kí ó dáhùn!”
Shall he that contends with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproves God, let him answer it.
3 Nígbà náà ni Jobu dá Olúwa lóhùn wá ó sì wí pé,
Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
4 “Kíyèsi i, ẹ̀gbin ni èmi—ohun kí ni èmi ó dà? Èmi ó fi ọwọ́ mi le ẹnu mi.
Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer you? I will lay my hand on my mouth.
5 Ẹ̀ẹ̀kan ní mo sọ̀rọ̀, ṣùgbọ́n èmi kì yóò tún sọ mọ́; lẹ́ẹ̀kejì ni, èmi kò sì le ṣe é mọ́.”
Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yes, twice; but I will proceed no further.
6 Nígbà náà ní Olúwa dá Jobu lóhùn láti inú ìjì àyíká wá, ó sì wí pé,
Then answered the LORD to Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
7 “Di àmùrè gírí ní ẹgbẹ́ rẹ bí ọkùnrin, èmi ó bi ọ léèrè, kí ìwọ kí ó sì dá mi lóhùn.
Gird up your loins now like a man: I will demand of you, and declare you to me.
8 “Ìwọ ha fẹ́ mú ìdájọ́ mi di asán? Ìwọ ó sì dá mi lẹ́bi, kí ìwọ lè ṣe olódodo.
Will you also cancel my judgment? will you condemn me, that you may be righteous?
9 Ìwọ ni apá bí Ọlọ́run tàbí ìwọ lè fi ohùn sán àrá bí òun?
Have you an arm like God? or can you thunder with a voice like him?
10 Fi ọláńlá àti ọlá ìtayọ rẹ̀ ṣe ara rẹ ní ọ̀ṣọ́, tí ó sì fi ògo àti títóbi ọ̀ṣọ́ bo ara ní aṣọ.
Deck yourself now with majesty and excellency; and array yourself with glory and beauty.
11 Mú ìrunú ìbínú rẹ jáde; kíyèsí gbogbo ìwà ìgbéraga rẹ kí o sì rẹ̀ ẹ́ sílẹ̀.
Cast abroad the rage of your wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.
12 Wo gbogbo ìwà ìgbéraga, ènìyàn kí o sì rẹ ẹ sílẹ̀ kí o sì tẹ ènìyàn búburú mọ́lẹ̀ ní ipò wọn.
Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
13 Sin gbogbo wọn papọ̀ nínú erùpẹ̀, kí o sì di ojú ìkọ̀kọ̀ wọn ní isà òkú.
Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.
14 Nígbà náà ní èmi ó yìn ọ́ pé, ọwọ́ ọ̀tún ara rẹ lè gbà ọ́ là.
Then will I also confess to you that your own right hand can save you.
15 “Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí kíyèsi Behemoti, tí mo dá pẹ̀lú rẹ, òun a máa jẹ koríko bí ọ̀dá màlúù.
Behold now behemoth, which I made with you; he eats grass as an ox.
16 Wò o nísinsin yìí, agbára rẹ wà ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ rẹ, àti ipa rẹ nínú ìṣàn ìkún rẹ.
See now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
17 Òun a máa jù ìrù rẹ̀ bí i igi kedari, iṣan itan rẹ̀ dìjọ pọ̀.
He moves his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
18 Egungun rẹ̀ ní ògùṣọ̀ idẹ, Egungun rẹ̀ dàbí ọ̀pá irin.
His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
19 Òun ni olórí nínú àwọn iṣẹ́ Ọlọ́run; síbẹ̀ Ẹlẹ́dàá rẹ̀ fi idà rẹ̀ lé e lọ́wọ́.
He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach to him.
20 Nítòótọ́ òkè ńlá ńlá ní i mu ohun jíjẹ fún un wá, níbi tí gbogbo ẹranko igbó máa ṣiré ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ibẹ̀.
Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21 Ó dùbúlẹ̀ lábẹ́ igi lótusì, lábẹ́ eèsún àti ẹrẹ̀.
He lies under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22 Igi lótusì síji wọn bò o; igi arọrọ odò yí i káàkiri.
The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
23 Kíyèsi i, odò ńlá sàn jọjọ, òun kò sálọ; ó wà láìléwu bí ó bá ṣe pé odò Jordani ti ṣàn lọ sí ẹnu rẹ̀.
Behold, he drinks up a river, and hastens not: he trusts that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
24 Ẹnìkan ha lè mú un ní ojú rẹ̀, tàbí dẹkùn fún tàbí a máa fi ọ̀kọ̀ gún imú rẹ̀?
He takes it with his eyes: his nose pierces through snares.
