Job 20
1 And he answered Zophar the Naamathite and he said.
Mgbe ahụ, Zofa onye Neama zara sị:
2 Therefore disquieting thoughts my they make respond me and in order to agitate I in me.
“Enweghị udo nke echiche m na-akpali m izaghachi nʼihi na anọ m na mwute dị ukwuu.
3 [the] correction of Insult my I have heard and a spirit from understanding my it answers me.
Anụla m okwu mkparị nke ileda anya nye m, ma nghọta m na-akpalịte m ịzaghachi gị.
4 ¿ This do you know from antiquity from when put humankind on earth.
“Nʼezie, ị maara otu ọ dị site na mgbe ochie, ya bụ kemgbe e debere mmadụ nʼụwa.
5 That [the] cry of joy of wicked [people] [is] from near and [the] gladness of [the] godless [is] until a moment.
Obi ụtọ nke onye na-emebi iwu na-adị nwa mgbe nta, ọṅụ nke ndị na-amaghị Chineke na-anọ naanị nwa oge.
6 Though it will go up to the heavens loftiness his and head his to the cloud[s] it will reach.
Nʼagbanyeghị na ịnya isi ya ga-eru eluigwe, na isi ya ga-emetụkwa igwe ojii;
7 Like own dung his to perpetuity he will perish [those who] saw him they will say where [is]? he.
ọ ga-ala nʼiyi ebighị ebi, dịka nsị ya onwe ya nyụrụ; ndị maara ya ga-ajụ, ‘Olee ebe ọ nọ?’
8 Like a dream he will fly away and not people will find him and he may be chased away like a vision of [the] night.
Ọ ga-efelaga dịka nrọ, agaghị achọtakwa ya mgbe ọbụla, dịka ọhụ abalị nke e chefuru echefu.
9 An eye it caught sight of him and not it will repeat and not again it will see him place his.
Anya hụrụ ya na mbụ agaghị ahụkwa ya ọzọ, ebe obibi ya agaghị elegidekwa ya anya ọzọ.
10 Children his they will seek [the] favor of poor [people] and own hands his they will give back wealth his.
Ụmụ ya ga-achọ ihuọma site nʼaka ndị ogbenye; aka ya abụọ kwa ga-enyeghachi akụ ya.
11 Bones his they were full (youthful vigor his *Q(K)*) and with him on [the] dust it will lie down.
Ọkpụkpụ ya nke jupụtara nʼike okorobịa ga-eso ya bụrụ ihe a ghanyere na ntụ.
12 Though it is sweet in mouth his evil he hides it under tongue his.
“Ọ bụ ezie na ihe ọjọọ na-atọ ya ụtọ nʼọnụ, na ọ na-ezokwa ya nʼokpuru ire ya;
13 He spares it and not he lets loose it and he withholds it in [the] midst of mouth his.
ọ bụ ezie na ọ pụghị nʼịhapụ ya, ọ na-edebe ya nʼọnụ ya,
14 Food his in inward parts his it is changed venom of cobras in inward part[s] his.
ma nri ọ na-eri ga-aghọ ihe gbara ụka nʼafọ ya, ọ ga-aghọkwa elo agwọ nʼime afọ ya.
15 Wealth he swallows and he has vomited up it from belly his he drives out it God.
Ọ ga-agbọpụta akụnụba niile o lodara; Chineke ga-eme ka o si nʼafọ ya gbọpụtachaa ha.
16 [the] poison of Cobras he sucks it slays him [the] tongue of a viper.
Ọ ga-amịcha elo agwọ, eze agwọ ajụala ga-egbu ya.
17 May not he look on streams rivers of torrents of honey and curd.
Ọ gaghị anụ ụtọ mmiri si nʼiyi, bụ iyi nke na-asọ asọ nke jupụtara na mmanụ aṅụ na mmiri ara ehi rahụrụ arahụ.
18 [he is] restoring [the] gain And not he swallows [it] according to [the] wealth of trading his not he will rejoice.
Ihe ọ rụpụtara ka ọ ga-eji kwụghachi ụgwọ o ji na-erighị ma otu. Uru ọ zụtara nʼahịa agaghị abụrụ ya ihe ọṅụ.
19 For he has crushed he has neglected poor [people] a house he has seized and not he had built it.
Nʼihi na ọ kpagburu ndị ogbenye, hapụ ha na-enweghị olileanya ọbụla, ọ nakọtakwara ụlọ nke ọ na-ewughị.
20 For - not he knows quiet in belly his among desired [things] his not he delivers.
“Nʼezie, ọ gaghị enwe izuike site nʼoke ọchịchọ ya; ọ gaghị azọpụtakwa onwe ya site nʼụlọakụ ya.
21 There not [is] a survivor to devour he there-fore not it will endure prosperity his.
Ọ dịghị ihe fọdụụrụ ya iripịa, ọganihu ya agaghị adịgide.
22 When is full sufficiency his it will be distress to him every hand of a sufferer it will come to him.
Nʼetiti ihe niile o nwere ka mkpagbu ga-abịakwasị ya, oke ịta ahụhụ ga-adakwasị ya.
23 May he be - [about] to fill belly his he will send on him [the] burning of anger his and he will send rain on him in bowel[s] his.
Mgbe o rijuru afọ ka Chineke ga-eme ka iwe ya dị ọkụ megide ya, iti aka Chineke ga-adakwasị ya dịka mmiri ozuzo.
24 He will flee from a weapon of iron it will cut through him a bow of bronze.
Ọ bụrụ na o si na ngwa agha e ji igwe kpụọ gbalaga, àkụ nke e ji ọla bronz kpụọ ọnụ ya ga-amapu ya ahụ.
25 He will draw [it] out and it came out from [the] back and lightning from gall-bladder his it will come on him terrors.
Nʼazụ ya ka ọ na-esi mịpụta ya, site nʼumeju ya ka a ga-esi mịpụta ọnụ ya na-egbu amụma. Oke egwu dị iche iche ga-abịakwasị ya.
26 All darkness [is] hidden for treasured [things] his it will consume him fire [which] not it has been fanned it will be evil a survivor in tent his.
Oke ọchịchịrị nọ na-echere akụnụba ya, ọkụ nke a na-afụnwughị afụnwu ga-erepịa ya ọ ga-erechapụkwa ihe niile fọdụrụ nʼụlọ ikwu ya.
27 They will reveal [the] heavens iniquity his and [the] earth [will] rise up to him.
Eluigwe ga-ekpughe ikpe ọmụma ya ụwa niile ga-ebili megide ya.
28 It will depart [the] produce of house his torrents on [the] day of anger his.
Idee mmiri ga-ebupu ụlọ ya; oke mmiri okwukwo nʼụbọchị iwe Chineke.
29 This - [is the] portion of a person wicked from God and [the] inheritance of decree his from God.
Nke a bụ oke nke Chineke debeere ndị na-emebi iwu, ya bụkwa ihe nketa nke Chineke kwadooro ha.”
