Job 6
1 Jobu sì dáhùn ó si wí pé,
Bvt Iob answered, and said,
2 “Háà! À bá lè wọ́n ìbìnújẹ́ mi nínú òsùwọ̀n, kí a sì le gbé ọ̀fọ̀ mi lé orí òsùwọ̀n ṣọ̀kan pọ̀!
Oh that my griefe were well weighed, and my miseries were layed together in the balance.
3 Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, ìbá wúwo jú iyanrìn òkun lọ, nítorí náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ mi ṣe ń tàsé.
For it woulde be nowe heauier then the sande of the sea: therefore my wordes are swallowed vp.
4 Nítorí pé ọfà Olódùmarè wọ̀ mi nínú, oró èyí tí ọkàn mi mú; ìpayà-ẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run dúró tì mí.
For the arrowes of the Almightie are in me, the venime whereof doeth drinke vp my spirit, and the terrours of God fight against me.
5 Ǹjẹ́ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ igbó á máa dún nígbà tí ó bá ní koríko, tàbí ọ̀dá màlúù a máa dún lórí ìjẹ rẹ̀?
Doeth the wilde asse bray when he hath grasse? or loweth the oxe when he hath fodder?
6 A ha lè jẹ ohun tí kò ní adùn ní àìní iyọ̀, tàbí adùn ha wà nínú funfun ẹyin?
That which is vnsauerie, shall it be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egge?
7 Ohun ti ọ̀kan mi kọ̀ láti tọ́wò, òun ni ó dàbí oúnjẹ tí ó mú mi ṣàárẹ̀.
Such things as my soule refused to touch, as were sorowes, are my meate.
8 “Háà! èmi ìbá lè rí ìbéèrè mi gbà; àti pé, kí Ọlọ́run lè fi ohun tí èmi ṣàfẹ́rí fún mi.
Oh that I might haue my desire, and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
9 Àní Ọlọ́run ìbá jẹ́ pa mí run, tí òun ìbá jẹ́ ṣíwọ́ rẹ̀ kì ó sì ké mi kúrò.
That is, that God would destroy me: that he would let his hand go, and cut me off.
10 Nígbà náà ní èmi ìbá ní ìtùnú síbẹ̀, àní, èmi ìbá mú ọkàn mi le nínú ìbànújẹ́ mi ti kò dá ni sí: nítorí èmi kò fi ọ̀rọ̀ ẹni mímọ́ ni sin rí.
Then should I yet haue comfort, (though I burne with sorowe, let him not spare) because I haue not denyed the wordes of the Holy one.
11 “Kí ní agbára mi tí èmi ó fi retí? Kí sì ní òpin mi tí èmi ó fi ní sùúrù?
What power haue I that I should endure? or what is mine end, if I should prolong my life?
12 Agbára mi ha ṣe agbára òkúta bí? Ẹran-ara mi í ṣe idẹ?
Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brasse?
13 Ìrànlọ́wọ́ mi kò ha wà nínú mi: ọgbọ́n kò ha ti sálọ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi bí?
Is it not so, that there is in me no helpe? and that strength is taken from me?
14 “Ẹni tí àyà rẹ̀ yọ́ dànù, ta ni a bá máa ṣàánú fún láti ọ̀dọ̀ ọ̀rẹ́ rẹ̀ wá, kí ó má ba à kọ ìbẹ̀rù Olódùmarè sílẹ̀?
He that is in miserie, ought to be comforted of his neighbour: but men haue forsaken the feare of the Almightie.
15 Àwọn ará mi dàbí odò tí kò ṣe gbẹ́kẹ̀lé bí ìṣàn omi odò, wọ́n sàn kọjá lọ.
My brethre haue deceiued me as a brook, and as the rising of the riuers they passe away.
16 Tí ó dúdú nítorí omi dídì, àti níbi tí yìnyín dídì gbé di yíyọ́.
Which are blackish with yee, and wherein the snowe is hid.
17 Nígbàkígbà tí wọ́n bá gbóná wọn a sì yọ́ sàn lọ, nígbà tí oòrùn bá mú, wọn a sì gbẹ kúrò ni ipò wọn.
But in time they are dryed vp with heate and are consumed: and when it is hote they faile out of their places,
18 Àwọn oníṣòwò yà kúrò ní ọ̀nà wọn, wọ́n gòkè sí ibi asán, wọ́n sì run.
Or they depart from their way and course, yea, they vanish and perish.
19 Ẹgbẹ́ oníṣòwò Tema ń wá omi, àwọn oníṣòwò Ṣeba ń dúró dè wọ́n ní ìrètí.
They that go to Tema, considered them, and they that goe to Sheba, waited for them.
20 Wọ́n káàárẹ̀, nítorí tí wọ́n gbẹ́kẹ̀ wọn lé e; wọ́n dé bẹ̀, wọ́n sì dààmú.
But they were confounded: when they hoped, they came thither and were ashamed.
21 Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí, ẹ̀yin dàbí wọn; ẹ̀yin rí ìrẹ̀sílẹ̀ mi àyà sì fò mí.
Surely nowe are ye like vnto it: ye haue seene my fearefull plague, and are afraide.
22 Èmi ó ha wí pé, ‘Ẹ mú ohun fún mi wá, tàbí pé ẹ fún mi ní ẹ̀bùn nínú ohun ìní yín?
Was it because I said, Bring vnto me? or giue a rewarde to me of your substance?
23 Tàbí, ẹ gbà mí lọ́wọ́ ọ̀tá ni, tàbí, ẹ rà mí padà kúrò lọ́wọ́ alágbára nì’?
And deliuer me from the enemies hande, or ransome me out of the hand of tyrants?
24 “Ẹ kọ́ mi, èmi ó sì pa ẹnu mi mọ́ kí ẹ sì mú mi wòye níbi tí mo gbé ti ṣìnà.
Teach me, and I wil hold my tongue: and cause me to vnderstande, wherein I haue erred.
25 Wò ó! Bí ọ̀rọ̀ òtítọ́ ti lágbára tó ṣùgbọ́n kí ni àròyé ìbáwí yín jásí?
Howe stedfast are the wordes of righteousnes? and what can any of you iustly reproue?
26 Ẹ̀yin ṣè bí ẹ tún ọ̀rọ̀ mi ṣe àti ohùn ẹnu tí ó dàbí afẹ́fẹ́ ṣe àárẹ̀.
Doe ye imagine to reproue wordes, that the talke of the afflicted should be as the winde?
27 Àní ẹ̀yin ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí aláìní baba, ẹ̀yin sì da iye lé ọ̀rẹ́ yín.
Ye make your wrath to fall vpon the fatherlesse, and dig a pit for your friende.
28 “Nítorí náà, kí èyí kí ó tó fún yín. Ẹ má wò mi! Nítorí pé ó hàn gbangba pé, ní ojú yín ni èmi kì yóò ṣèké.
Nowe therefore be content to looke vpon me: for I will not lie before your face.
29 Èmi ń bẹ̀ yín, ẹ padà, kí ó má sì ṣe jásí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀; àní, ẹ sì tún padà, àre mi ń bẹ nínú ọ̀rọ̀ yìí.
Turne, I pray you, let there be none iniquitie: returne, I say, and ye shall see yet my righteousnesse in that behalfe.
30 Àìṣedéédéé ha wà ní ahọ́n mi? Ǹjẹ́ ìtọ́wò ẹnu mi kò kúkú le mọ ohun ti ó burú jù?
Is there iniquitie in my tongue? doeth not my mouth feele sorowes?
