Job 24
1 Times are not hid from the Almighty: but they that know him, know not his days.
“Ṣe bí ìgbà kò pamọ́ lọ́dọ̀ Olódùmarè fún ìdájọ́? Èéṣe tí ojúlùmọ̀ rẹ̀ kò fi rí ọjọ́ rẹ̀?
2 Some have removed landmarks, have taken away flocks by force, and fed them.
Wọ́n a sún àmì ààlà ilẹ̀, wọ́n á fi agbára kó agbo ẹran lọ, wọ́n a sì bọ́ wọn.
3 They have driven away the ass of the fatherless, and have taken away the widow’s ox for a pledge.
Wọ́n á sì da kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ aláìní baba lọ, wọ́n a sì gba ọ̀dá màlúù opó ní ohun ògo.
4 They have overturned the way of the poor, and have oppressed together the meek of the earth.
Wọ́n á bi aláìní kúrò lójú ọ̀nà, àwọn tálákà ayé a fi agbára sá pamọ́.
5 Others like wild asses in the desert go forth to their work: by watching for a prey they get bread for their children.
Kíyèsi i, bí i kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ igbó nínú ijù ni àwọn tálákà jáde lọ sí iṣẹ́ wọn, wọ́n a tètè dìde láti wá ohun ọdẹ; ijù pèsè oúnjẹ fún wọn àti fún àwọn ọmọ wọn.
6 They reap the field that is not their own, and gather the vintage of his vineyard whom by violence they have oppressed.
Olúkúlùkù a sì sá ọkà oúnjẹ ẹran rẹ̀ nínú oko, wọn a sì ká ọgbà àjàrà ènìyàn búburú.
7 They send men away naked, taking away their clothes who have no covering in the cold:
Ní ìhòhò ni wọn máa sùn láìní aṣọ, tí wọn kò ní ìbora nínú òtútù.
8 Who are wet, with the showers of the mountains, and having no covering embrace the stones.
Ọ̀wààrà òjò òkè ńlá sì pa wọ́n, wọ́n sì lẹ̀ mọ́ àpáta nítorí tí kò sí ààbò.
9 They have violently robbed the fatherless, and stripped the poor common people.
Wọ́n já ọmọ aláìní baba kúrò ní ẹnu ọmú, wọ́n sì gbà ọmọ tálákà nítorí gbèsè.
10 From the naked and them that go without clothing, and from the hungry they have taken away the ears of corn.
Wọ́n rìn kiri ní ìhòhò láìní aṣọ; àwọn tí ebi ń pa rẹrù ìdì ọkà.
11 They have taken their rest at noon among the stores of them, who after having trodden the winepresses suffer thirst.
Àwọn ẹni tí ń fún òróró nínú àgbàlá wọn, tí wọ́n sì ń tẹ ìfúntí àjàrà, síbẹ̀ òǹgbẹ sì ń gbẹ wọn.
12 Out of the cities they have made men to groan, and the soul of the wounded hath cried out, and God doth not suffer it to pass unrevenged.
Àwọn ènìyàn ń kérora láti ìlú wá, ọkàn àwọn ẹni tí ó gbọgbẹ́ kígbe sókè fún ìrànlọ́wọ́ síbẹ̀ Ọlọ́run kò kíyèsi àṣìṣe náà.
13 They have been rebellious to the light, they have not known his ways, neither have they returned by his paths.
“Àwọn ni ó wà nínú àwọn tí ó ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí ìmọ́lẹ̀, wọn kò mọ̀ ipa ọ̀nà rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọn kò dúró nípa ọ̀nà rẹ̀.
14 The murderer riseth at the very break of day, he killeth the needy, and the poor man: but in the night he will be as a thief.
Apànìyàn a dìde ní àfẹ̀mọ́júmọ́, a sì pa tálákà àti aláìní, àti ní òru a di olè.
15 The eye of the adulterer observeth darkness, saying: No eye shall see me: and he will cover his face.
Ojú alágbèrè pẹ̀lú dúró kí ilẹ̀ ṣú díẹ̀; ‘Ó ní, ojú ẹnìkan kì yóò rí mi,’ ó sì fi ìbòjú bojú rẹ̀.
16 He diggeth through houses in the dark, as in the day they had appointed for themselves, and they have not known the light.
Ní òkùnkùn wọn á rúnlẹ̀ wọlé, tí wọ́n ti fi ojú sọ fún ara wọn ní ọ̀sán, wọn kò mọ̀ ìmọ́lẹ̀.
17 If the morning suddenly appear, it is to them the shadow of death: and they walk in darkness as if it were in light.
Nítorí pé bí òru dúdú ní òwúrọ̀ fún gbogbo wọn; nítorí tí wọn sì mọ̀ ìbẹ̀rù òkùnkùn.
18 He is light upon the face of the water: cursed be his portion on the earth, let him not walk by the way of the vineyards.
“Ó yára lọ bí ẹni lójú omi; ìpín wọn ní ilé ayé ni a ó parun; òun kò rìn lọ mọ́ ní ọ̀nà ọgbà àjàrà.
Gẹ́gẹ́ bi ọ̀dá àti òru ní í mú omi òjò-dídì yọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ní isà òkú í run àwọn tó dẹ́ṣẹ̀. (Sheol h7585)
20 Let mercy forget him: may worms be his sweetness: let him be remembered no more, but be broken in pieces as an unfruitful tree.
Inú ìbímọ yóò gbàgbé rẹ̀, kòkòrò ní yóò máa fi adùn jẹun lára rẹ̀; a kì yóò rántí ènìyàn búburú mọ́; bẹ́ẹ̀ ní a ó sì ṣẹ ìwà búburú bí ẹní ṣẹ́ igi.
21 For he hath fed the barren that beareth not, and to the widow he hath done no good.
Ẹni tí o hù ìwà búburú sí àgàn tí kò ṣe rere sí opó.
22 He hath pulled down the strong by his might: and when he standeth up, he shall not trust to his life.
Ọlọ́run fi ipá agbára rẹ̀ fa alágbára, bí wọ́n tilẹ̀ fìdímúlẹ̀, kò sí ìrètí ìyè fún wọn.
23 God hath given him place for penance, and he abuseth it unto pride: but his eyes are upon his ways.
Ọlọ́run sì fi àìléwu fún un, àti nínú èyí ni a ó sì tì i lẹ́yìn, ojú rẹ̀ sì wà ní ipa ọ̀nà wọn.
24 They are lifted up for a little while and shall not stand, and shall be brought down as all things, and shall be taken away, and as the tops of the ears of corn they shall be broken.
A gbé wọn lékè nígbà díẹ̀, wọ́n kọjá lọ; a sì rẹ̀ wọ́n sílẹ̀, a sì mú wọn kúrò ní ọ̀nà bí àwọn ẹlòmíràn, a sì ké wọn kúrò bí orí síírí ọkà bàbà.
25 And if it be not so, who can convince me that I have lied, and set my words before God?
“Ǹjẹ́, bí kò bá rí bẹ́ẹ̀ nísinsin yìí, ta ni yóò mú mi ní èké, tí yóò sì sọ ọ̀rọ̀ mi di aláìníláárí?”
