Job 34
1 Moreouer Elihu answered, and saide,
Mgbe ahụ Elihu sịrị:
2 Heare my wordes, ye wise men, and hearken vnto me, ye that haue knowledge.
“Nụrụ okwu m, unu ndị amamihe; gee m ntị unu ndị ikom nwere mmụta.
3 For the eare tryeth the words, as the mouth tasteth meate.
Ntị na-anwale okwu dịka ire si anụ ụtọ ihe oriri.
4 Let vs seeke iudgement among vs, and let vs knowe among our selues what is good.
Ka anyị chọpụtara onwe anyị ihe ziri ezi; ka anyị nọkọta mụta ihe dị mma.
5 For Iob hath saide, I am righteous, and God hath taken away my iudgement.
“Job na-asị, ‘Abụ m onye ezi omume, ma Chineke na-anapụ m ikpe ziri ezi.
6 Should I lye in my right? my wound of the arrowe is grieuous without my sinne.
Ọ bụ eziokwu na aka m dị ọcha ma a na-ahụta m dịka onye ụgha; ọ bụ eziokwu na ikpe amaghị m ma ọnya na-enweghị ngwọta ka àkụ ya na-enye m.’
7 What man is like Iob, that drinketh scornfulnesse like water?
Olee nwoke dịka Job, nke na-aṅụ ịkwa emo dịka mmiri?
8 Which goeth in the companie of them that worke iniquitie, and walketh with wicked men?
Ya na ndị na-eme ajọ ihe bụ enyi, ya na ndị ajọ omume na-emekọkwa ihe.
9 For he hath saide, It profiteth a man nothing that he should walke with God.
Nʼihi na ọ na-asị, ‘Ọ dịghị uru dị ya na mmadụ na-achọ ime ihe na-atọ Chineke ụtọ.’
10 Therefore hearken vnto me, ye men of wisedome, God forbid that wickednesse should be in God, and iniquitie in the Almightie.
“Ya mere, geenụ m ntị, unu ndị ikom nwere nghọta. Ya bụrụ ihe dị anya nʼebe Chineke nọ, bụ ime ajọ omume, bụrụkwa ihe dị anya nʼebe Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile nọ, bụ ime ihe na-ezighị ezi.
11 For he will render vnto man according to his worke, and cause euery one to finde according to his way.
Ọ na-akwụghachi onye ọbụla dịka ihe o mere si dị, ọ na-ewetara mmadụ dịka omume ya kwesiri.
12 And certainely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almightie peruert iudgement.
Ọ bụ ihe a na-ekwesighị iche nʼuche na Chineke pụrụ ime ihe na-ezighị ezi, na Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile ga-ekpe ikpe nʼezighị ezi.
13 Whome hath he appointed ouer the earth beside him selfe? or who hath placed the whole worlde?
Onye họpụtara ya ịchị ụwa? Onye mere ya onye nlekọta ụwa niile?
14 If he set his heart vpon man, and gather vnto him selfe his spirit and his breath,
Ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ ebumnuche ya iweghachi mmụọ ya na nkuume ya,
15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall returne vnto dust.
mmadụ niile ga-alakọta nʼiyi, mmadụ niile ga-alaghachikwa nʼaja.
16 And if thou hast vnderstanding, heare this and hearken to the voyce of my wordes.
“Ọ bụrụ na i nwere nghọta, nụrụ nke a; gee ntị nʼokwu m.
17 Shal he that hateth iudgement, gouerne? and wilt thou iudge him wicked that is most iust?
Ọ pụrụ ịchị bụ onye ahụ kpọrọ ikpe ziri ezi asị? Ị ga-ama Onye ezi omume na onye dị ike ikpe?
18 Wilt thou say vnto a King, Thou art wicked? or to princes, Ye are vngodly?
Ọ bụghị ya na-agwa ndị eze okwu sị, ‘Unu abaghị uru,’ ma na-agwakwa ndị a mara aha ha sị, ‘Unu bụ ndị ajọ omume.’
19 How much lesse to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, and regardeth not the rich, more then the poore? for they be all the worke of his handes.
Onye na-adịghị ekpe ikpe mmegide nye ụmụ ndị ikom eze, onye na-adịghị emenyere ndị ọgaranya, ma megbuo ndị ogbenye, nʼihi na ha niile bụ ọrụ aka ya.
20 They shall die suddenly, and the people shalbe troubled at midnight, and they shall passe foorth and take away the mightie without hand.
Nʼotu ntabi anya, ha na-anwụ nʼime etiti abalị; ndị ahụ na-ama jijiji ma gabiga; a na-ewezugakwa ndị dị ike ma ọ bụghị site nʼaka mmadụ.
21 For his eyes are vpon the wayes of man, and he seeth all his goings.
“Anya ya na-elekwasị ụzọ niile nke ụmụ mmadụ; ọ na-ahụkwa nzọ ụkwụ ha niile.
22 There is no darkenesse nor shadowe of death, that the workers of iniquitie might be hid therein.
Ọ dịghị ọchịchịrị dị, ọ dịghịkwa oke ọchịchịrị dị, ebe ndị na-eme ajọ ihe pụrụ izo.
23 For he will not lay on man so much, that he should enter into iudgement with God.
Ọ dịghị mkpa ọ dịịrị Chineke ịga nʼihu inyocha ụmụ mmadụ, nke mere na ha ga-abịa nʼihu ya maka ikpe ikpe.
24 He shall breake the mightie without seeking, and shall set vp other in their stead.
Na-ajụghị ajụjụ Chineke na-akụtu ndị a maara aha ha ma were ndị ọzọ dochie nʼọnọdụ ha.
25 Therefore shall he declare their works: he shall turne the night, and they shalbe destroyed.
Nʼihi na ọ na-agụkọ ọrụ ha niile, ọ na-achụpụ ha nʼabalị mee ka ha ghọọ ndị e gwepịara egwepịa.
26 He striketh them as wicked men in the places of the seers,
Nʼebe mmadụ niile ga-ahụ ha ka ọ na-ata ha ahụhụ nʼihi ajọ omume ha,
27 Because they haue turned backe from him, and would not consider all his wayes:
nʼihi na ha sitere nʼiso ya wezuga onwe ha, ha enweghịkwa uche ilebanye anya nʼụzọ ya ọbụla.
28 So that they haue caused the voyce of the poore to come vnto him, and he hath heard the cry of the afflicted.
Ha mere ka iti mkpu akwa nke ndị ogbenye ruo ya ntị, nke mere na ọ nụrụ akwa ndị nọ na mkpa.
29 And when he giueth quietnesse, who can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who can beholde him, whether it be vpon nations, or vpon a man onely?
Ma ọ bụrụ na ọ gba nkịtị, onye ga-ama ya ikpe? Ọ bụrụ na o zoo ihu ya, onye pụrụ ịhụ ya? Ma ya onwe ya na-achị isi nʼebe mmadụ na mba nọ,
30 Because the hypocrite doeth reigne, and because the people are snared.
igbochi nwoke na-adịghị atụ egwu Chineke ịchị obodo, ka ọ gharakwa ịbụ ihe ọnya nye ndị mmadụ.
31 Surely it appertaineth vnto God to say, I haue pardoned, I will not destroy.
“Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ a sị Chineke, ‘Abụ m onye ikpe mara ma agaghị m emehie kwa ọzọ.
32 But if I see not, teach thou me: if I haue done wickedly, I will doe no more.
Biko, zi m ihe ndị ahụ m na-apụghị ịhụ; ọ bụrụ na m emehiela, agaghị m emekwa ya ọzọ.’
33 Wil he performe the thing through thee? for thou hast reproued it, because that thou hast chosen, and not I. now speake what thou knowest.
Chineke ọ ga-akwụghachi gị ụgwọ ọrụ site na mkpebi gị mgbe ị jụrụ ichegharị? Gị onwe gị ga-ekpebi, ọ bụghị mụ; ya mere gwa m ihe ị mara.
34 Let men of vnderstanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken vnto me.
“Ndị ikom ndị nwere nghọta na-ekwu si, ndị amamihe nụrụ okwu m na-asị m,
35 Iob hath not spoken of knowledge, neyther were his wordes according to wisedome.
‘Job na-ekwu okwu dịka onye na-amaghị ihe; okwu ya dị ka nke onye na-enweghị uche.’
36 I desire that Iob may be tryed, vnto the ende touching the answeres for wicked men.
Ọ ga-adị nnọọ mma ma a sị na a nwaa Job ruo nsọtụ maka ọsịsa ya dịka nke ajọ mmadụ!
37 For he addeth rebellion vnto his sinne: he clappeth his handes among vs, and multiplieth his wordes against God.
Ọ na-atụkwasị nnupu isi nʼelu mmehie ya; na-akụ aka nʼetiti anyị nʼụzọ ịkwa emo, ma werekwa okwu nkwulu bara ụba megide Chineke.”
