12 Ihe na-agara m nke ọma, ma Chineke tipịara m. O jidere m nʼolu ma tiwasịa m. O meela m ihe ịgba ụta ya;
At ease I was - and he smashed me and he took hold on neck my and he shattered me and he set up me of him to a target.
13 ndị ọgba ụta ya agbaala m gburugburu. Ọ na-agbawa akụrụ m na-enweghị ọmịiko mee ka oluilu m wụsịa nʼala.
They surround me - archers his he splits open kidneys my and not he has compassion he pours out to the ground gall my.
14 Mgbe niile, ọ na-emegide m; ọ na-achụso m dịka dike nʼagha.
He breaks through me a breach on [the] face of a breach he runs on me like a warrior.
15 “Adụkọtala m akwa mkpe were ya kpuchie anụ ahụ m, liekwa ikuanya m nʼime ntụ.
Sackcloth I have sewed over skin my and I have inserted in the dust horn my.

For years of number they will come and a way [which] not I will return I will go.
