And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
2 “Onye maara ihe ọ ga-eji okwu na-abaghị uru zaghachi? Ọ ga-emeju afọ ya nʼifufe na-ekpo ọkụ nke si nʼọwụwa anyanwụ?
¿ A wise [person] does he answer knowledge of wind so may he fill? east wind belly his.
3 Ọ ga-eji okwu na-abaghị uru rụọ ụka, maọbụ kwuo okwu na-enweghị isi?
Does he argue? with a word [which] not it is of use and words [which] not anyone profits by them.
4 Ma ị na-eleda ezi omume anya na-egbochikwa ịsọpụrụ Chineke.
Also you you annul fear so you may diminish meditation before God.
5 Mmehie gị na-eme ka ọnụ gị kwuo okwu ngwangwa; ọ bụkwa ire ndị aghụghọ ka i nwere.
For it teaches iniquity your mouth your so you may choose [the] tongue of crafty [people].
6 Ọnụ gị na-ama gị ikpe, ọ bụghị mụ onwe m, egbugbere ọnụ gị na-ekwu okwu megide gị.
It condemns as guilty you own mouth your and not I and own lips your they testify against you.
7 “Ị bụ mmadụ mbụ a mụrụ? A mụọla gị tupu e kee ugwu niile?
¿ First human being were you born and before [the] hills were you brought forth?
8 Ọ getụla ntị nʼizu nzuzo nke Chineke? Amamihe niile ọ bụ nʼime gị ka ha juru?
¿ In [the] council of God do you listen and you may restrain? to yourself wisdom.
9 Gịnị ka ị maara nke anyị na-amaghị? Ụdị nghọta dị aṅaa ka i nwere nke anyị na-enweghị?
What? do you know and not we know do you understand? and not [is] with us it.
10 Ndịisi awọ na ndị kara nka nọ nʼetiti anyị, ndị ikom mere agadi karịa nna mụrụ gị.
Both [the] gray haired as well as [the] aged [are] among us [those] old more than father your days.
11 Ọ ga-abụ na nkasiobi Chineke bụrụ gị ihe nta, ka ọ bụ okwu dị nro nke ọ gwara gị?
¿ [too] little For you [are] [the] consolations of God and a word to gentleness with you.
12 Gịnị mere obi gị ji duhie gị, gịnị mekwara anya gị abụọ ji chagharịa,
Why? does it carry away you heart your and why? do they flash! eyes your.
13 nke mere iwe gị jiri dị ọkụ megide Chineke, meekwa ka okwu ọjọọ ndị a niile si nʼọnụ gị pụta?
That you will turn against God spirit your and you will bring out from mouth your words.
14 “Gịnị ka mmadụ efu bụ, ọ ga-eji dị ọcha nʼobi, gịnị ka mmadụ nwanyị mụrụ bụ, na ha nwere ike ị bụ ndị ezi omume?
What? [is] a person that he will be pure and that he will be righteous [one] born of a woman.
15 Ọ bụrụ na Chineke atụkwasịghị ndị nsọ ya obi, ọ bụrụkwa na eluigwe adịghị ọcha nʼanya ya,
There! (in holy [ones] his *Q(K)*) not he trusts and [the] heavens not they are pure in view his.
16 ọ ga-esi aṅaa tụkwasị mmadụ efu onye rụrụ arụ obi, bụ onye na-aṅụ ajọ omume dịka mmiri.
Indeed? for [one who] is abhorrent and [one who] is corrupt a person [who] drinks like water unrighteousness.
17 “Gee m ntị ka m kọwaara gị; kwerekwa ka m gwa gị ihe m hụrụ,
I will tell you listen to me and what I have seen and I will recount.
18 bụ ihe ndị amamihe kwuru, ndị na-ezobeghị ihe ha natara nʼaka nna nna ha,
[that] which Wise [people] they have told and not they have hidden from ancestors their.
19 bụ ndị e nyefere ala ndị a nʼaka ha mgbe ọ dịghị onye ọbịa gabigara nʼetiti ha.
To them to alone them it was given the land and not he passed a stranger in midst their.
20 Ụbọchị ndụ ya niile, onye ajọ omume na-ata ahụhụ mmekpa ahụ, bụ nke e debere ogologo afọ nye nwoke ahụ na-eme ihe ike.
All [the] days of a wicked [person] he [is] writhing in pain and [the] number of years [which] they have been stored up for ruthless [person].

24 Ahụhụ na mkpagbu na-eme ka ọ tụọ oke egwu, nsogbu na-abịakwasị ya dịka eze nke nọ na njikere ibuso ndị iro ya agha.
They terrify him anxiety and distress it overpowers him like a king - ready for battle.
25 Nʼihi na ọ na-atụ Chineke aka nʼihu, dokwaa onwe ya imegide Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile.
For he has stretched out against God hand his and to [the] Almighty he behaves proudly.
26 O ji ikwesi olu ike, dịka ọta siri ike, na-emegide Chineke.
He runs against him with a neck with [the] thickness of [the] bosses of shields his.
27 “Ọ bụ ezie na abụba kpuchiri ihu ya, abụba nke dị nʼukwu ya na-eme ka anụ ahụ nupụtakwa,
For he has covered face his with fat his and he has made fat on loins.
28 ọ ga-ebi nʼobodo e bibiri ebibi, nʼụlọ nke mmadụ na-ekwesighị ibi nʼime ha, ụlọ nke na-adakasị adakasị.
And he dwelt - cities destroyed houses [which] not people will dwell themselves which they are destined for heaps of stones.
29 Ma ọ gaghị aga nʼihu ị bụ ọgaranya, akụ ya agaghị adịgidekwa. Ihe o nwere agakwaghị agbasapụ nʼala niile ahụ.

Not he will depart - from darkness young shoot[s] his it will dry up a flame so he may depart by [the] breath of mouth his.
31 Ka onye dị otu a hapụ ịghọgbu onwe ya site nʼịtụkwasị uche nʼihe efu, nʼihi na ọ dịghị ụgwọ ọrụ ọbụla ọ ga-enweta.
May not he trust (in worthlessness *Q(K)*) he has been led astray for worthlessness it will be recompense his.
32 Tụpụ oge ya eruo, ọ ga-anata ụgwọ ọrụ ya nʼuju, ọzọ, alaka ya ga-akpọnwụ
On not day his it will be completed and palm branch his not it will grow luxuriant.
33 Ọ ga-adị ka osisi vaịnị nke mkpụrụ ya dapụsịrị na-achaghị acha, dịka osisi oliv nke akwụkwọ ya kpọnwụrụ akpọnwụ.
He will wrong like vine unripe grape[s] his and he will shed like olive tree blossom his.
34 Nʼihi na ndị na-amaghị Chineke ga-adị ka nwanyị aga, ọkụ ga-erepịa ụlọ ikwu niile nke ndị hụrụ iri ngarị nʼanya.
For a company of [the] godless [is] barren and fire it consumes [the] tents of a bribe.

They conceive trouble and they give birth to wickedness and belly their it prepares deceit.
