Job 14
1 “Mmadụ nke nwanyị mụrụ nwere ụbọchị ole na ole nke jupụtara na nsogbu.
A human being born of a woman [is] short of days and surfeited of turmoil.
2 Ọ na-awalite dịka okoko osisi, ma kpọnwụọkwa mgbe na-adịghị anya, dịka onyinyo, ọ na-agabiga agabiga.
Like a flower he comes forth and he withered and he fled like shadow and not he remains.
3 Ị na-elegide onye dị otu a anya? Ị ga-akpọ ya ikpe nʼihu gị?
Indeed? on this do you open eyes your and me do you bring? in judgment with yourself.
4 Onye pụrụ iwepụta ihe dị ọcha site nʼihe na-adịghị ọcha? Ọ dịghị onye ọ bụ.
Who? will he make a clean [thing] from an unclean [thing] not one [person].
5 Ị kpebiela ụbọchị ndụ nke mmadụ; ị kabiela ọnụọgụgụ nke ọnwa ya niile, kpaakwa oke ebe ọ na-agaghị agabiga.
If [are] determined - days his [the] number of months his [is] with you (limits his *Q(K)*) you have appointed and not he will pass.
6 Nʼihi nke a, wepụ anya gị nʼebe ọ nọ, hapụ ya ka ọ nọọrọ onwe ya ruo mgbe ụbọchị ya ga-ezu dịka onye e goro ọrụ.
Look away from on him so he may cease until he takes pleasure in like a hired laborer day his.
7 “Ma olileanya dịịrị osisi; nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na e gbutuo ya, ọ ga-epuchikwa, alaka ọhụrụ ya aghaghị ịwapụtakwa.
For there for a tree [is] hope if it will be cut down and again it will sprout afresh and young shoot[s] its not it will fail.
8 A sịkwarị na mgbọrọgwụ ya emeela ochie nʼala, maọbụ na ogwe ya anwụọ nʼaja,
Though it will grow old in the ground root its and in the dust it will die stump its.
9 mgbe ọbụla mmiri zokwasịrị ya, ọ na-epupụta dịka ihe a kụrụ akụ.
From [the] scent of water it will show buds and it will produce shoot[s] like a plant.
10 Ma mmadụ na-anwụ, e lie ya; ọ na-ekubikwa ume si otu a gabiga.
And a man he dies and he was weak and he expired a person and where [is]? he.
11 Dịka mmiri dị nʼoke osimiri si ata, maọbụ ka mmiri dị nʼiyi si ata nʼoge ọkọchị,
They disappear waters from [the] sea and a river it dries up and it is dry.
12 otu a ka mmadụ si e dinaa ma ọ dịghị etetakwa ọzọ; tutu ruo mgbe eluigwe na-agaghị adịkwa; mmadụ ọbụla apụghị i si nʼụra kpọtee ya, agaghị akpọtekwa ha site nʼụra ha.
And a person he lies down and not he will arise until [is] not heaven not they will awake and not they will be roused from sleep their.
13 “A sị na ị ga-ezo m nʼala mmụọ, na ị ga-ezobe m tutu ruo mgbe iwe gị gabigara. A sị na ị ga-akanyere m oge ma mesịa cheta m. (Sheol h7585)
Who? will he give - in Sheol you will hide me you will conceal me until turns back anger your you will set for me a limit and you will remember me. (Sheol h7585)
14 Ọ bụrụ na mmadụ anwụọ, ọ ga-adị ndụ ọzọ? Ụbọchị niile nke ọrụ ahụhụ m, aga m echere mgbe nnapụta m ga-abịa.
If he will die a man ¿ will he live all [the] days of service my I will wait until comes relief my.
15 Ị ga-akpọ, aga m azakwa gị, agụụ ọrụ aka gị ga-agụ gị.
You will call and I I will answer you for [the] work of hands your you will long.
16 Nʼihi mgbe ahụ ị ga-agụ nzọ ụkwụ m niile ọnụ, ma ị gaghị agụkọ mmehie m.
For now steps my you will count not you will watch over sin my.
17 A ga-ekechi njehie m nʼakpa, ị ga-ekpuchi mmehie m.
[will be] sealed up In a bag transgression my and you have smeared over iniquity my.
18 “Ma dịka ugwu si erichasi daa, na dịka a na-enupu oke nkume nʼọnọdụ ya,
And but a mountain [is] falling it crumbles away and a rock it moves from place its.
19 dịka mmiri si akwọchasị nkume, na dịka oke mmiri ozuzo si akwazekwa aja ala, otu a ka i si eme ka olileanya mmadụ laa nʼiyi.
Stones - they rub away waters it washes off overflowings its [the] dust of [the] earth and [the] hope of humankind you destroy.
20 Ị na-egosi ya na ị karịrị ya ike, ma ha na-agabiga; ị na-eme ka ihu ya gbanwee, ma zilaga ya.
You overpower him to perpetuity and he went [you are] changing face his and you sent away him.
21 Ọ bụrụ na a na-asọpụrụ ụmụ ha, ha adịghị amata nke a; ọ bụrụkwa na a na-eweda ha nʼala, ha ọ dịghị ahụ ya.
They are honored sons his and not he knows and they may be insignificant and not he perceives it.
22 Ihe mgbu nke anụ ahụ ya ka ọ na-ama ma na-erukwara naanị onwe ya ụjụ.”
Only own flesh his on himself it is in pain and self his on himself it mourns.
