Job 19
1 Job zara sị:
Then Job answered and said,
2 “Ruo ole mgbe ka unu ga-anọgide na-ata m ahụhụ? Ruo ole mgbe ka unu ga-ewere okwu ọnụ unu zọpịa m?
How long will all of you vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
3 Ugboro iri ndị a ka unu kọcharala m, ihere adịghị eme unu na unu na-ebuso m agha?
These ten times have all of you reproached me: all of you are not ashamed that all of you make yourselves strange to me.
4 A sịkwarị na m bụ onye mmehie, ọ bụ naanị mụ onwe m ka ọ gbasara.
And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remains with myself.
5 Ọ bụrụ na unu na-ebuli onwe unu elu karịa m, ma were ọnọdụ ịdị ala m megide m,
If indeed all of you will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:
6 mgbe ahụ, maranụ na Chineke emejọọla m, were ụgbụ ya tụọ m gburugburu.
Know now that God has overthrown me, and has compassed me with his net.
7 “Ọ bụ ezie na m na-eti mkpu akwa sị: ‘A na-emejọ m.’ Ma ọ dịghị ọsịsa m na-anata; ọ bụ ezie na m na-eti mkpu ka e nyere m aka ma ikpe ziri ezi adịghị.
Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
8 Ọ nọchiela ụzọ m ka m ghara ịgafe; o jirila ọchịchịrị kpuchie ụzọ m.
He has fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he has set darkness in my paths.
9 O yipụla m ugwu m, wepụkwa okpueze m kpu nʼisi.
He has stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
10 Ọ na-eti m ihe otiti nʼakụkụ niile, ruo mgbe m gabigara; ọ na-ehopu olileanya m dịka osisi.
He has destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope has he removed like a tree.
11 Iwe ya dị ọkụ megide m; ọ na-agụnyekwa m dịka onye iro ya.
He has also kindled his wrath against me, and he counts me unto him as one of his enemies.
12 Ndị agha ya ji ike na-abịa; ha ewuola mgbidi were nnọchibido m ha agbaala ụlọ ikwu m gburugburu imegide m.
His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and camp round about my tabernacle.
13 “O meela ka ụmụnne m na ndị enyi m si nʼebe m nọ pụọ.
He has put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily cut off from me.
14 Ndị ikwu m anaghị etinyekwa uche nʼihe banyere m; ndị ezi enyi m niile echefuola m.
My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
15 Ndị ọbịa nọ nʼụlọ m na ndị odibo m nwanyị na-agụ m dịka onye ala ọzọ; adị m ka onye mba ọzọ nʼebe ha nọ.
They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an foreigner in their sight.
16 Ana m akpọ odibo m oku ma ọ dịghị aza m, ọ bụladị mgbe m jiri ọnụ m rịọ ya.
I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I implored him with my mouth.
17 Iku ume m abụrụla ihe nwunye m apụghị ịnagide; abụrụla m ihe arụ nye ụmụnne m.
My breath is strange to my wife, though I implored for the children's sake of mine own body.
18 Ọ bụladị ụmụntakịrị nwoke na-akwa m emo; ha na-ejikwa m eme ihe ọchị mgbe ọbụla m pụtara.
Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spoke against me.
19 Ndị ahụ m kpọrọ ndị enyi ọma m na-ele m anya dịka m bụ ihe arụ; ndị ahụ niile m hụrụ nʼanya echigharịakwala megide m
All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
20 Abụ m naanị ọkpụkpụ ọkpụkpụ; ihe m ji gbanarị ọnwụ adịghị ukwuu.
My bone cleaves to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
21 “Meerenụ m ebere, ndị enyi m, meerenụ m ebere, nʼihi na aka Chineke na-emegide m.
Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O all of you my friends; for the hand of God has touched me.
22 Gịnị mere unu ji achụ m dịka Chineke si achụ m? Ọ ga-abụ na ahụhụ m ejubeghị unu afọ?
Why do all of you persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23 “Ọ gaara atọ m ụtọ ma a sị na e dekọrọ okwu m nʼakwụkwọ,
Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
24 na e ji mkpisi igwe dee ha, maọbụ kakwasị ha nʼelu mbadamba nkume ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
25 Amara m na onye mgbapụta m na-adị ndụ, amakwaara m na ọ ga-eguzo nʼelu ụwa nʼoge ikpeazụ.
For I know that my redeemer lives, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
26 Mgbe e mebisikwara akpụkpọ ahụ m, ma nʼanụ ahụ m aga m ahụ Chineke.
And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
27 Mụ onwe m ga-eji anya m abụọ hụ ya, mụ onwe m, ọ bụghị onye ọzọ. Lee ka obi m si anụ ọkụ nʼime m maka nke a!
Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
28 “Ọ bụrụ na unu asị, ‘Anyị ga-emegide ya nʼihi na nsogbu a si nʼaka ya,’
But all of you should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
29 unu onwe unu kwesiri ịtụ egwu mma agha; nʼihi na iwe ga-ebute ịta ahụhụ nke mma agha, mgbe ahụ, unu ga-ama na ikpe dị.”
Be all of you afraid of the sword: for wrath brings the punishments of the sword, that all of you may know there is a judgment.
