Job 5
1 Call nowe, if any will answere thee, and to which of the Saintes wilt thou turne?
“Kpọọ oku ma ị chọọ, ma onyekwanụ ga-aza gị? Ole ndị dị nsọ ị ga-agbakwuru?
2 Doubtlesse anger killeth the foolish, and enuie slayeth the idiote.
Oke iwe na-egbu onye nzuzu, ekworo na-egbu onye na-enweghị uche.
3 I haue seene the foolish well rooted, and suddenly I cursed his habitation, saying,
Mụ onwe m ahụla onye nzuzu ka ọ na-agba mgbọrọgwụ, mana mberede, abụrụ ụlọ ya ọnụ.
4 His children shalbe farre from saluation, and they shall be destroyed in the gate, and none shall deliuer them.
Ụmụ ya na-anọpụ anya site nʼebe nchebe dị, a na-azọpịa ha nʼọnụ ụzọ ama, ọ dịkwaghị onye na-anapụta ha.
5 The hungrie shall eate vp his haruest: yea, they shall take it from among the thornes, and the thirstie shall drinke vp their substance.
Onye agụụ na-agụ na-eripịa ihe o wetara nʼubi; ọ na-ewere ihe ubi ndị a ọ bụladị site nʼetiti ogwu; akụnụba ya ka onye akpịrị na-akpọ nkụ ga-achụso.
6 For miserie commeth not foorth of the dust, neither doeth affliction spring out of the earth.
Nʼihi na ọnọdụ ọjọọ adịghị esite nʼala pupụta, ma ọ bụkwanụ nsogbu adịghịkwa esite nʼala walite.
7 But man is borne vnto trauaile, as the sparkes flie vpwarde.
Kama, a mụrụ mmadụ nye nsogbu, dịka ire ọkụ si esite nʼọkụ a kwanyere na-amali elu.
8 But I would inquire at God, and turne my talke vnto God:
“Ma ọ bụrụ na m bụ gị, m ga-ekpesara Chineke; ya ka m ga-akọsara ihe niile.
9 Which doeth great things and vnsearchable, and marueilous things without nomber.
Nʼihi na Chineke na-arụ ọrụ ịtụnanya karịrị nghọta, ọrụ ebube nke a na-apụghị ịgụta ọnụ.
10 He giueth raine vpon the earth, and powreth water vpon the streetes,
Ọ bụ ya na-enye elu ụwa mmiri ozuzo, ma na-ezigakwa mmiri nʼubi niile.
11 And setteth vp on hie them that be lowe, that the sorowfull may be exalted to saluation.
Ọ na-ebuli ndị dị ala elu, na-emekwa ka ndị na-eru ụjụ nọ nʼebe a na-echebe ha.
12 He scattereth the deuices of the craftie: so that their handes can not accomplish that which they doe enterprise.
Ọ na-emebi nzube niile nke ndị aghụghọ, ka aka ha ghara imezu ihe ha zubere.
13 He taketh the wise in their craftinesse, and the counsel of the wicked is made foolish.
Ọ na-ejide ndị oke amamihe nʼaghụghọ ha niile, mee ka atụmatụ ndị aghụghọ bụrụ ihe e kpochapụrụ.
14 They meete with darkenesse in the day time, and grope at noone day, as in the night.
Ọchịchịrị na-abịakwasị ha nʼoge ehihie, nʼetiti ehihie ha na-asọ ìsì dịka ndị nọ nʼọchịchịrị nke abalị;
15 But he saueth the poore from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hande of the violent man,
Ọ na-azọpụta ndị mkpa na-akpa, site na mma agha dị ha nʼọnụ, ọ na-anapụtakwa ha site nʼaka ndị dị ike.
16 So that the poore hath his hope, but iniquitie shall stop her mouth.
Ya mere, ndị ogbenye na-enwe olileanya, ikpe ezighị ezi na-emechikwa ọnụ ya.
17 Beholde, blessed is the man whome God correcteth: therefore refuse not thou the chastising of the Almightie.
“Ngọzị na-adịrị mmadụ ahụ Chineke na-adọ aka na ntị; ya mere, ajụla ịdọ aka na ntị nke Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile.
18 For he maketh the wound, and bindeth it vp: he smiteth, and his handes make whole.
Nʼihi na ọ na-etihịa mmadụ ahụ ma na-ekechikwa ọnya ha; Ọ na-eti mmadụ ihe, ma aka ya na-agwọkwa.
19 He shall deliuer thee in sixe troubles, and in the seuenth the euill shall not touch thee.
Ọ ga-anapụta gị site nʼụzọ nsogbu isii, mee ka ihe ọjọọ hapụ irute gị na nsogbu nke asaa.
20 In famine he shall deliuer thee from death: and in battel from the power of the sworde.
Ọ ga-echebe gị ka ị hapụ ịnwụ nʼoge ụnwụ; chebekwa gị ka mma agha hapụ ịmetụ gị nʼoge agha.
21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue, and thou shalt not be afraid of destruction when it commeth.
Ị ga-abụ onye a na-echebe site na nkwutọ nke ire ndị ga-ekwutọ gị. Ị gaghị atụkwa egwu mgbe mbibi bịara.
22 But thou shalt laugh at destruction and dearth, and shalt not be afraide of the beast of the earth.
Ị ga-achị ọchị nʼoge ụnwụ na nʼoge mbibi, ị gaghị atụkwa egwu ajọ anụ ọhịa dị iche iche.
23 For the stones of the fielde shall be in league with thee, and the beastes of the field shall be at peace with thee.
Nʼihi na gị na nkume niile dị nʼọhịa ga-agba ndụ, gị na anụ ọhịa ga-anọkwa nʼudo.
24 And thou shalt knowe, that peace shall be in thy tabernacle, and thou shalt visite thine habitation, and shalt not sinne.
Ị ga-amata na ụlọ ikwu gị dị nʼudo; ị ga-agụkọ ihe niile i nwere chọpụta na o nweghị nke na-efu efu.
25 Thou shalt perceiue also, that thy seede shalbe great, and thy posteritie as the grasse of the earth.
Ị ga-amata na ụmụ gị ga-adị ọtụtụ, matakwa na ụmụ ụmụ gị dị ukwuu nʼọnụọgụgụ dịka ahịhịa dị nʼala.
26 Thou shalt goe to thy graue in a ful age, as a ricke of corne commeth in due season into the barne.
Ị ga-aba nʼili gị mgbe i mere nnọọ ezigbo agadi, dịka ọka a ghọrọ mgbe oge ya ruru.
27 Lo, thus haue we inquired of it, and so it is: heare this and knowe it for thy selfe.
“Anyị enyochaala ihe a, hụ na ọ bụ eziokwu. Ya mere nụrụ ya, ma jiri ya rụọ ọrụ na ndụ gị.”
