Job 36
1 Elihu also proceeded, and said:
Elihu gara nʼihu sị:
2 Suffer me a little, and I will tell thee; for there are yet words on God's behalf.
“Nyetụ m nwa oge nta, ka m gosi gị na ọ ka dị ọtụtụ ihe e nwere ikwu nyere Chineke.
3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
Ana m enweta amamihe m site nʼebe dị anya; aga m enye Onye kere m ezi omume.
4 For truly my words are not false; one that is upright in mind is with thee.
Ya doo gị anya na okwu m abụghị okwu ụgha; onye zuruoke nʼihe ọmụma nọnyeere gị.
5 Behold, God is mighty, yet He despiseth not any; He is mighty in strength of understanding.
“Chineke dị ike ma ọ dịghị eleda mmadụ ọbụla anya; ọ dị ike, bụrụkwa onye na-eme ihe ọbụla o zubere ime.
6 He preserveth not the life of the wicked; but giveth to the poor their right.
Ọ naghị edebe ndị ajọ omume ndụ, kama ọ na-enye ndị a na-akpagbu akpagbu ihe ruuru ha.
7 He withdraweth not His eyes from the righteous; but with kings upon the throne He setteth them for ever, and they are exalted.
Ọ dịghị ewepụ anya ya nʼebe ndị ezi omume nọ, kama ọ na-eme ka ha na ndị eze nọkwasị nʼocheeze, bụrụ ndị e buliri elu ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
8 And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;
Ma ọ bụrụ na e kechie ụmụ mmadụ nʼagbụ igwe, jirikwa agbụ nke mkpagbu jidesie ha ike,
9 Then He declareth unto them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.
ọ na-agwa ha ihe ha mere, na ha sitere na nganga ha mehie.
10 He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
Ọ na-eme ka ha ṅaa ntị nye ntụziaka, na-enyekwa ha iwu ka ha chegharịa site nʼajọ ihe ha na-eme.
11 If they hearken and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
Ọ bụrụ na ha erube isi, jekwaara ya ozi, ha ga-abụ ndị ga-ebi oge ndụ ha fọdụrụ nʼakụnụba, biekwa ogologo ndụ ha niile nʼafọ ojuju.
12 But if they hearken not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
Ma ọ bụrụ na ha egeghị ntị, ha ga-ala nʼiyi site na mma agha, ha ga-anwụ na-enweghị ọmụma ihe.
13 But they that are godless in heart lay up anger; they cry not for help when He bindeth them.
“Ndị ajọ omume na-ebu iro nʼobi ha. Ha adịghị echegharị kpọkuo ya ọ bụladị mgbe o kere ha agbụ.
14 Their soul perisheth in youth, and their life as that of the depraved.
Ha na-anwụ nʼoge okorobịa ha, nʼetiti ndị ikom na-agba akwụna nʼụlọ arụsị dị iche iche.
15 He delivereth the afflicted by His affliction, and openeth their ear by tribulation.
Ma ndị na-ahụsị anya ka ọ na-azọpụta site nʼahụhụ ha; na-agwa ha okwu site na mkpagbu ha.
16 Yea, He hath allured thee out of distress into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which is set on thy table is full of fatness;
“Ọ na-achọsi ike ịnapụta gị site nʼọnụ mkpagbu, baa nʼebe sara mbara, ebe mkpagbu na-adịghị, baa na tebul nke jupụtara na nri dị ezi ụtọ.
17 And thou art full of the judgment of the wicked; judgment and justice take hold on them.
Ma ugbu a, ikpe ọmụma dịịrị ndị ajọ omume na-anyịgbu gị; ikpe ọmụma na ikpe ziri ezi abịakwasịla gị.
18 For beware of wrath, lest thou be led away by thy sufficiency; neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside.
Lezie anya ka mmadụ ọbụla ghara iji akụnụba rafuo gị; ekwekwala ka ihe ngarị bara ụba wezuga gị nʼọnọdụ gị.
19 Will thy riches avail, that are without stint, or all the forces of thy strength?
Akụnụba gị maọbụ ịdị ike gị ha pụrụ ịnapụta gị ka ị ghara ịnọ na mkpagbu?
20 Desire not the night, when peoples are cut off in their place.
Anọla na-echere ka abalị bịa, mgbe a na-adọkpụrụ ndị ụmụ mmadụ site nʼụlọ ha pụọ.
21 Take heed, regard not iniquity; for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
Lezie anya, ka i ghara iche ihu nye ajọ ihe, bụ nke ọ dị ka ị na-ahọrọ karịa mkpagbu.
22 Behold, God doeth loftily in His power; who is a teacher like Him?
“E buliela Chineke elu nʼike ya, onye bụ onye ozizi dịka ya?
23 Who hath enjoined Him His way? Or who hath said: 'Thou hast wrought unrighteousness'?
Onye họpụtaara ya ụzọ ọ ga-agbaso, maọbụ sị ya ‘I meela ajọ ihe’?
24 Remember that thou magnify His work, whereof men have sung.
Cheta ka i bulie ọrụ aka ya elu, bụ nke ụmụ mmadụ torola site nʼabụ.
25 All men have looked thereon; man beholdeth it afar off.
Mmadụ niile ahụzuola ya; ụmụ mmadụ nọ nʼebe dị anya na-ele ya anya.
26 Behold, God is great, beyond our knowledge; the number of His years is unsearchable.
Lee, Chineke dị ukwuu, karịa nghọta anyị. Ọnụọgụgụ afọ ya karịrị mmadụ ịchọpụta.
27 For He draweth away the drops of water, which distil rain from His vapour;
“Ọ bụ ya na-eme ka ukuru mmiri rigoro nʼelu mgbe anwụ na-acha, nke a na-aghọ mmiri ozuzo nye iyi niile.
28 Which the skies pour down and drop upon the multitudes of men.
Igwe ojii na-awụdata mmiri dị nʼime ya mee ka mmiri ozuzo dị ukwuu zokwasị ụmụ mmadụ.
29 Yea, can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, the crashings of His pavilion?
Onye pụrụ ịghọta ka o si gbasaa igwe ojii, ka o si ebigbọ site nʼebe obibi ya?
30 Behold, He spreadeth His light upon it; and He covereth the depths of the sea.
Lee, ọ gbasaala amụma ya gburugburu ya na-ekpuchi ebe niile dịkarịsịrị omimi nke oke osimiri.
31 For by these He judgeth the peoples; He giveth food in abundance.
Nke a bụ ụzọ o si achị mba niile na-enyejukwa ha nri afọ.
32 He covereth His hands with the lightning, and giveth it a charge that it strike the mark.
O ji amụma nke egbe eluigwe kpojuo aka ya, ma na-enye ya iwu itida ihe ọbụla ọ chọrọ.
33 The noise thereof telleth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the storm that cometh up.
Ịda ụda nke egbe eluigwe na-akọwa ọbịbịa nke oke ifufe mmiri; ọ bụladị ehi na-eme ka a mara na ọ nọ nso.
