Job 35
1 And Elius resumed and said,
Mgbe ahụ, Elihu sịrị:
2 What is this that you think to be according to right? who are you that you have said, I am righteous before the Lord?
“Ị na-eche na nke a ziri ezi? Ị sịrị, ‘Na m ziri ezi ọ bụghị Chineke.’
3 I will answer you, and your three friends.
Nʼagbanyeghị ihe ndị a, ị na-ajụ ya si, ‘Uru gịnị ka ọ baara m, gịnị bụ uru m ma ọ bụrụ na emehieghị m?’
4 Look up to the sky and see; and consider the clouds, how high [they are] above you.
“Ọ ga-amasị m ịzaghachi gị, zaghachikwa ndị enyi gị na ha nọ.
5 If you have sinned, what will you do?
Lelie anya na eluigwe ma hụkwa. Legide mbara igwe na igwe oji niile, nke dị anya karịa gị.
6 and if too you have transgressed much, what can you perform?
Ọ bụrụ na i mehie, olee ụzọ nke a si metụta ya? Ọ bụrụ na mmehie gị bara ụba, gịnị ka nke a pụrụ ime ya?
7 And suppose you are righteous, what will you give him? or what shall he receive of your hand?
Ọ bụrụ na ị bụ onye ezi omume, gịnị ka ị na-enye ya, maọbụ gịnị ka ọ na-anata site nʼaka gị?
8 Your ungodliness [may affect] a man who is like to you; or your righteousness a son of man.
Ajọ omume gị na-emetụta naanị mmadụ dịka gị, ma ezi omume gị na-emetụta naanị ụmụ ndị mmadụ.
9 They that are oppressed of a multitude will be ready to cry out; they will call for help because of the arm of many.
“Ụmụ mmadụ na-eti mkpu akwa nʼihi ịba ụba nke mmegbu, ha na-arịọ arịrịọ enyemaka site nʼaka ndị dị ike.
10 But none said, Where is God that made me, who appoints the night-watches;
Ma ọ dịghị onye na-asị, ‘Olee ebe Chineke onye kere m nọ, onye na-enye abụ nʼime abalị,
11 who makes me to differ from the four-footed beasts of the earth, and from the birds of the sky?
onye na-akụziri anyị ihe karịa ka ọ na-akụziri ụmụ anụ ọhịa nke ụwa, onye na-eme ka anyị bụrụ ndị maara ihe karịa ụmụ nnụnụ nke igwe?’
12 There they shall cry, and none shall listen, even because of the insolence of wicked men.
Ọ dịghị azaghachi mgbe ụmụ mmadụ na-eti mkpu akwa, nʼihi ịnya isi nke ndị ajọ omume.
13 For the Lord desires not to look on error, for he is the Almighty One.
Nʼezie, Chineke adịghị aṅa ntị nʼarịrịọ efu ha; Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile a dịghị elebara ya anya.
14 He beholds them that perform lawless deeds, and he will save me: and do you plead before him, if you can praise him, as it is [possible] even now.
Ma ya bụrụzie nke a ị na-ekwu, ọ ga-esi aṅaa gee ntị mgbe ị na-ekwu na ị dịghị ahụ ya anya, na i burula ikpe gị bịa nʼihu ya na ị ga-anọkwa na-eche ya!
15 For he is not [now] regarding his wrath, nor has he noticed severely any trespass.
Ọzọ, nʼihi na iwe ya adịghị eweta ntaramahụhụ, nʼihi na ọ dịghị arịba ama ajọ omume ọ bụladị nke dịkarịsịrị nta.
16 Yet Job vainly opens his mouth, in ignorance he multiplies words.
Ya mere, Job saghere ọnụ ya kwuo okwu dịka onye na-amaghị ihe; ka onye na-enweghị uche ọ na-ekwu okwu nkwukwasị efu.”
