Job 36
1 Elihu also proceeded, and said,
Elihu gara nʼihu sị:
2 Bear with me a little, and I will show thee that I have yet to speak 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 bring 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 shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.
Ya doo gị anya na okwu m abụghị okwu ụgha; onye zuruoke nʼihe ọmụma nọnyeere gị.
5 Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
“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 right to the poor.
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 are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish 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 are bound in fetters, and are held in cords of affliction;
Ma ọ bụrụ na e kechie ụmụ mmadụ nʼagbụ igwe, jirikwa agbụ nke mkpagbu jidesie ha ike,
9 Then he showeth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.
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 obey 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 obey 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 the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not 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 They die in youth, and their life is among the sodomites.
Ha na-anwụ nʼoge okorobịa ha, nʼetiti ndị ikom na-agba akwụna nʼụlọ arụsị dị iche iche.
15 He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.
Ma ndị na-ahụsị anya ka ọ na-azọpụta site nʼahụhụ ha; na-agwa ha okwu site na mkpagbu ha.
16 Even so would he have removed thee out of distress into a broad place, where there is no restraint; and that which should be set on thy table should be 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 But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.
Ma ugbu a, ikpe ọmụma dịịrị ndị ajọ omume na-anyịgbu gị; ikpe ọmụma na ikpe ziri ezi abịakwasịla gị.
18 Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.
Lezie anya ka mmadụ ọbụla ghara iji akụnụba rafuo gị; ekwekwala ka ihe ngarị bara ụba wezuga gị nʼọnọdụ gị.
19 Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
Akụnụba gị maọbụ ịdị ike gị ha pụrụ ịnapụta gị ka ị ghara ịnọ na mkpagbu?
20 Desire not the night, when people 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 exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
“E buliela Chineke elu nʼike ya, onye bụ onye ozizi dịka ya?
23 Who hath directed him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?
Onye họpụtaara ya ụzọ ọ ga-agbaso, maọbụ sị ya ‘I meela ajọ ihe’?
24 Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
Cheta ka i bulie ọrụ aka ya elu, bụ nke ụmụ mmadụ torola site nʼabụ.
25 Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.
Mmadụ niile ahụzuola ya; ụmụ mmadụ nọ nʼebe dị anya na-ele ya anya.
26 Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
Lee, Chineke dị ukwuu, karịa nghọta anyị. Ọnụọgụgụ afọ ya karịrị mmadụ ịchọpụta.
27 For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour of it:
“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 clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
Igwe ojii na-awụdata mmiri dị nʼime ya mee ka mmiri ozuzo dị ukwuu zokwasị ụmụ mmadụ.
29 Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?
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 covereth the bottom of the sea.
Lee, ọ gbasaala amụma ya gburugburu ya na-ekpuchi ebe niile dịkarịsịrị omimi nke oke osimiri.
31 For by them he judgeth the people; he giveth food in abundance.
Nke a bụ ụzọ o si achị mba niile na-enyejukwa ha nri afọ.
32 With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh between.
O ji amụma nke egbe eluigwe kpojuo aka ya, ma na-enye ya iwu itida ihe ọbụla ọ chọrọ.
33 The noise of it showeth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.
Ịda ụda nke egbe eluigwe na-akọwa ọbịbịa nke oke ifufe mmiri; ọ bụladị ehi na-eme ka a mara na ọ nọ nso.
