Job 34
1 And he answered Elihu and he said.
Mgbe ahụ Elihu sịrị:
2 Hear O wise [men] words my and O [those who] know give ear to me.
“Nụrụ okwu m, unu ndị amamihe; gee m ntị unu ndị ikom nwere mmụta.
3 For [the] ear words it tests and [the] palate it tastes to eat.
Ntị na-anwale okwu dịka ire si anụ ụtọ ihe oriri.
4 Justice let us choose for ourselves let us recognize between ourselves what? [is] good.
Ka anyị chọpụtara onwe anyị ihe ziri ezi; ka anyị nọkọta mụta ihe dị mma.
5 For he has said Job I am righteous and God he has taken away right my.
“Job na-asị, ‘Abụ m onye ezi omume, ma Chineke na-anapụ m ikpe ziri ezi.
6 On right my will I lie? [is] incurable arrow my not transgression.
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 Who? [is] a man like Job he drinks mockery like water.
Olee nwoke dịka Job, nke na-aṅụ ịkwa emo dịka mmiri?
8 And he travels for company with doers of evil and to walk with people of wickedness.
Ya na ndị na-eme ajọ ihe bụ enyi, ya na ndị ajọ omume na-emekọkwa ihe.
9 For he has said not it profits a man when is pleased he with God.
Nʼihi na ọ na-asị, ‘Ọ dịghị uru dị ya na mmadụ na-achọ ime ihe na-atọ Chineke ụtọ.’
10 Therefore - O people of heart listen to me far be it to God from wickedness and [the] Almighty from unrighteousness.
“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 [the] work of a person he will repay to him and according to [the] way of a person he will make find him.
Ọ na-akwụghachi onye ọbụla dịka ihe o mere si dị, ọ na-ewetara mmadụ dịka omume ya kwesiri.
12 Also truly God not he acts wickedly and [the] Almighty not he perverts justice.
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 Who? did he assign on him [the] earth towards and who? did he put [the] world all of it.
Onye họpụtara ya ịchị ụwa? Onye mere ya onye nlekọta ụwa niile?
14 If he will set to it heart his spirit his and breath his to himself he will gather.
Ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ ebumnuche ya iweghachi mmụọ ya na nkuume ya,
15 It will expire all flesh together and humankind to dust it will return.
mmadụ niile ga-alakọta nʼiyi, mmadụ niile ga-alaghachikwa nʼaja.
16 And if understanding hear! this give ear! to [the] sound of words my.
“Ọ bụrụ na i nwere nghọta, nụrụ nke a; gee ntị nʼokwu m.
17 ¿ Also [one who] hates justice will he govern and or? [the] righteous [one] [the] mighty [one] will you condemn as guilty.
Ọ pụrụ ịchị bụ onye ahụ kpọrọ ikpe ziri ezi asị? Ị ga-ama Onye ezi omume na onye dị ike ikpe?
18 ¿ To say to a king worthless person wicked [one] to noble [people].
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 Who not he lifts up - [the] faces of princes and not he regards a rich person before a poor [person] for [are the] work of hands his all of them.
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 A moment - they die and [the] middle of [the] night they are shaken a people so they may pass away and people may remove [the] mighty not by a 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 eyes his [are] on [the] ways of everyone and all steps his he sees.
“Anya ya na-elekwasị ụzọ niile nke ụmụ mmadụ; ọ na-ahụkwa nzọ ụkwụ ha niile.
22 There not [is] darkness and there not [is] deep darkness to hide themselves there [those who] do wickedness.
Ọ dịghị ọchịchịrị dị, ọ dịghịkwa oke ọchịchịrị dị, ebe ndị na-eme ajọ ihe pụrụ izo.
23 For not on a person he will appoint again to go to God in judgment.
Ọ dịghị mkpa ọ dịịrị Chineke ịga nʼihu inyocha ụmụ mmadụ, nke mere na ha ga-abịa nʼihu ya maka ikpe ikpe.
24 He breaks mighty [ones] not inquiry and he appointed others in place of them.
Na-ajụghị ajụjụ Chineke na-akụtu ndị a maara aha ha ma were ndị ọzọ dochie nʼọnọdụ ha.
25 Therefore he is acquainted with deeds their and he overthrows [them] night so they may be crushed.
Nʼihi na ọ na-agụkọ ọrụ ha niile, ọ na-achụpụ ha nʼabalị mee ka ha ghọọ ndị e gwepịara egwepịa.
26 In place of wicked [people] he slaps them in a place of [those who] see.
Nʼebe mmadụ niile ga-ahụ ha ka ọ na-ata ha ahụhụ nʼihi ajọ omume ha,
27 That there-fore they turned aside from after him and all ways his not they considered.
nʼihi na ha sitere nʼiso ya wezuga onwe ha, ha enweghịkwa uche ilebanye anya nʼụzọ ya ọbụla.
28 To cause to come to him [the] outcry of [the] poor and [the] outcry of afflicted [people] he heard.
Ha mere ka iti mkpu akwa nke ndị ogbenye ruo ya ntị, nke mere na ọ nụrụ akwa ndị nọ na mkpa.
29 And he he will keep quiet - and who? will he condemn [him] as guilty and he may hide face and who? will he observe him and over a nation and over a person alike.
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 From reigning a person godless from snares of a people.
igbochi nwoke na-adịghị atụ egwu Chineke ịchị obodo, ka ọ gharakwa ịbụ ihe ọnya nye ndị mmadụ.
31 For to God ¿ has anyone said I have borne not I will act corruptly.
“Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ a sị Chineke, ‘Abụ m onye ikpe mara ma agaghị m emehie kwa ọzọ.
32 Apart from [that which] I see O you instruct me if unrighteousness I have done not I will repeat.
Biko, zi m ihe ndị ahụ m na-apụghị ịhụ; ọ bụrụ na m emehiela, agaghị m emekwa ya ọzọ.’
33 ¿ From with you will he repay it if you have rejected for you you will choose and not I and what? do you know speak.
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 People of heart they will say to me and a man wise [who] listens to me.
“Ndị ikom ndị nwere nghọta na-ekwu si, ndị amamihe nụrụ okwu m na-asị m,
35 Job not with knowledge he speaks and words his not [are] with insight.
‘Job na-ekwu okwu dịka onye na-amaghị ihe; okwu ya dị ka nke onye na-enweghị uche.’
36 Would that! he will be tested Job until perpetuity on answers among people of wickedness.
Ọ ga-adị nnọọ mma ma a sị na a nwaa Job ruo nsọtụ maka ọsịsa ya dịka nke ajọ mmadụ!
37 For he adds to sin his transgression between us he claps and he multiplies words his to 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.”
