Job 11
1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and sayde,
Mgbe ahụ, Zofa onye Neama zara sị:
2 Should not the multitude of wordes be answered? or should a great talker be iustified?
“Ọ dịghị nzaghachi dịịrị ọtụtụ okwu niile ndị a? A ga-agụ onye ekwurekwu a dịka onye ikpe na-amaghị?
3 Should men holde their peace at thy lyes? and when thou mockest others, shall none make thee ashamed?
Okwu efu gị ndị a ha ga-eme ka mmadụ gba nkịtị? Ọ bụ na ọ dịghị onye ga-abara gị mba mgbe ị na-akwa emo?
4 For thou hast sayde, My doctrine is pure, and I am cleane in thine eyes.
Ị na-asị Chineke, ‘Okwukwe m enweghị ntụpọ, adịkwa m ọcha nʼanya gị.’
5 But, oh that God would speake and open his lippes against thee!
Ọ ga-adị m nnọọ mma ma a si na Chineke ga-ekwu okwu, na ọ ga-asaghe egbugbere ọnụ ya imegide gị.
6 That he might shewe thee the secretes of wisedome, howe thou hast deserued double, according to right: know therefore that God hath forgotten thee for thine iniquitie.
Kpugheere gị ihe nzuzo niile nke amamihe, nʼihi na ezi amamihe nwere akụkụ abụọ. Mara nke a: Chineke echefuola ụfọdụ mmehie gị.
7 Canst thou by searching finde out God? canst thou finde out ye Almighty to his perfection?
“I nwere ike ịchọpụta ihe omimi Chineke? I nwere ike ịnwapụta nsọtụ nke Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile?
8 The heauens are hie, what canst thou doe? it is deeper then the hell, how canst thou know it? (Sheol h7585)
Ha dị elu karịa eluigwe, gịnị ka ị pụrụ ime? Ha dị ogbu karịa ala ili, gịnị ka ị pụrụ ịma? (Sheol h7585)
9 The measure thereof is longer then the earth, and it is broader then the sea.
Ọtụtụ ha dị ogologo karịa ụwa, dị obosara karịa oke osimiri.
10 If hee cut off and shut vp, or gather together, who can turne him backe?
“Ọ bụrụ na ọ bịa tụba gị nʼime ụlọ mkpọrọ, kpọkọta ndị ikpe, onye ga-egbochi ya?
11 For hee knoweth vaine men, and seeth iniquitie, and him that vnderstandeth nothing.
Nʼezie, ya onwe ya na-amata ndị nduhie, mgbe ọ hụrụ ajọ ihe, ọ bụ na ọ dịghị amatakwa ya?
12 Yet vaine man would be wise, though man new borne is like a wilde asse colte.
Onye nzuzu ga-aghọ onye maara ihe naanị mgbe nwa ịnyịnya ibu ọhịa mụrụ ghọrọ mmadụ.
13 If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him:
“Ma ọ bụrụ na i were obi gị nye ya, setịpụ aka gị abụọ nye ya,
14 If iniquitie be in thine hand, put it farre away, and let no wickednesse dwell in thy Tabernacle.
ọ bụrụ na i wezuga mmehie nke dị gị nʼaka, ghara ikwe ka ihe ọjọọ dịrị nʼụlọ ikwu gị
15 The truely shalt thou lift vp thy face without spot, and shalt be stable, and shalt not feare.
mgbe ahụ, ihere agaghị eme gị iwelite ihu gị, ị ga-eguzokwa chịm na-atụghị egwu.
16 But thou shalt forget thy miserie, and remember it as waters that are past.
Nʼezie ị ga-echefukwa nsogbu gị, na-echeta ya dịka mmiri gabigara agabiga.
17 Thine age also shall appeare more cleare then the noone day: thou shalt shine and bee as the morning.
Ndụ gị ga-amụke karịa etiti ehihie, ọchịchịrị ya ga-adịkwa ka ụtụtụ.
18 And thou shalt bee bolde, because there is hope: and thou shalt digge pittes, and shalt lye downe safely.
Ị ga-anọkwa nʼudo nʼihi na olileanya dị; ị ga-elegharịkwa anya gburugburu gị zuo ike na-atụghị ụjọ.
19 For when thou takest thy rest, none shall make thee afraide: yea, many shall make sute vnto thee.
Ị ga-edina ala na-atụghị egwu onye ọbụla, ọtụtụ ndị mmadụ ga-achọ ịnata amara nʼihu gị.
20 But the eyes of the wicked shall faile, and their refuge shall perish, and their hope shalbe sorow of minde.
Ma anya ndị na-emebi iwu ga-ada, ha agaghị achọta ụzọ mgbapụ; olileanya ha ga-abụ nkubi ume nke ọnwụ.”
