Mgbe ahụ, Elihu sịrị:

2 הֲ֭זֹאת חָשַׁ֣בְתָּ לְמִשְׁפָּ֑ט אָ֝מַ֗רְתָּ צִדְקִ֥י מֵאֵֽל׃

“Ị na-eche na nke a ziri ezi? Ị sịrị, ‘Na m ziri ezi ọ bụghị Chineke.’

3 כִּֽי־תֹ֭אמַר מַה־יִּסְכָּן־לָ֑ךְ מָֽה־אֹ֝עִ֗יל מֵֽחַטָּאתִֽי׃

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 אֲ֭נִי אֲשִֽׁיבְךָ֣ מִלִּ֑ין וְֽאֶת־רֵעֶ֥יךָ עִמָּֽךְ׃

“Ọ ga-amasị m ịzaghachi gị, zaghachikwa ndị enyi gị na ha nọ.

5 הַבֵּ֣ט שָׁמַ֣יִם וּרְאֵ֑ה וְשׁ֥וּר שְׁ֝חָקִ֗ים גָּבְה֥וּ מִמֶּֽךָּ׃

Lelie anya na eluigwe ma hụkwa. Legide mbara igwe na igwe oji niile, nke dị anya karịa gị.

6 אִם־חָ֭טָאתָ מַה־תִּפְעָל־בּ֑וֹ וְרַבּ֥וּ פְ֝שָׁעֶ֗יךָ מַה־תַּעֲשֶׂה־לּֽוֹ׃

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 אִם־צָ֭דַקְתָּ מַה־תִּתֶּן־ל֑וֹ א֥וֹ מַה־מִיָּדְךָ֥ יִקָּֽח׃

Ọ bụrụ na ị bụ onye ezi omume, gịnị ka ị na-enye ya, maọbụ gịnị ka ọ na-anata site nʼaka gị?

8 לְאִישׁ־כָּמ֥וֹךָ רִשְׁעֶ֑ךָ וּלְבֶן־אָ֝דָ֗ם צִדְקָתֶֽךָ׃

Ajọ omume gị na-emetụta naanị mmadụ dịka gị, ma ezi omume gị na-emetụta naanị ụmụ ndị mmadụ.

9 מֵ֭רֹב עֲשׁוּקִ֣ים יַזְעִ֑יקוּ יְשַׁוְּע֖וּ מִזְּר֣וֹעַ רַבִּֽים׃

“Ụmụ mmadụ na-eti mkpu akwa nʼihi ịba ụba nke mmegbu, ha na-arịọ arịrịọ enyemaka site nʼaka ndị dị ike.

10 וְֽלֹא־אָמַ֗ר אַ֭יֵּה אֱל֣וֹהַּ עֹשָׂ֑י נֹתֵ֖ן זְמִר֣וֹת בַּלָּֽיְלָה׃

Ma ọ dịghị onye na-asị, ‘Olee ebe Chineke onye kere m nọ, onye na-enye abụ nʼime abalị,

11 מַ֭לְּפֵנוּ מִבַּהֲמ֣וֹת אָ֑רֶץ וּמֵע֖וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם יְחַכְּמֵֽנוּ׃

12 שָׁ֣ם יִ֭צְעֲקוּ וְלֹ֣א יַעֲנֶ֑ה מִ֝פְּנֵ֗י גְּא֣וֹן רָעִֽים׃

Ọ dịghị azaghachi mgbe ụmụ mmadụ na-eti mkpu akwa, nʼihi ịnya isi nke ndị ajọ omume.

13 אַךְ־שָׁ֭וְא לֹא־יִשְׁמַ֥ע ׀ אֵ֑ל וְ֝שַׁדַּ֗י לֹ֣א יְשׁוּרֶֽנָּה׃

Nʼezie, Chineke adịghị aṅa ntị nʼarịrịọ efu ha; Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile a dịghị elebara ya anya.

14 אַ֣ף כִּֽי־תֹ֭אמַר לֹ֣א תְשׁוּרֶ֑נּוּ דִּ֥ין לְ֝פָנָ֗יו וּתְח֥וֹלֵֽל לֽוֹ׃

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 וְעַתָּ֗ה כִּי־אַ֭יִן פָּקַ֣ד אַפּ֑וֹ וְלֹֽא־יָדַ֖ע בַּפַּ֣שׁ מְאֹֽד׃
