And he answered Job and he said.

3 Nwee ndidi ka m kwuchaa okwu m, mgbe m kwuchara, gaa nʼihu ịkwa m emo.
Bear with me and I I will speak and after have spoken I you will mock.
4 “Ọ bụ mmadụ ka m na-ekpesara? Gịnị ka m ga-eji ghara ịbụ onye na-enweghị ndidi?
¿ I to humankind [is] complaint my and if why? not will it be short spirit my.
5 Lee m anya ka ahụ maa gị jijiji; were aka gị kpuchie ọnụ gị.
Turn to me and be appalled and put a hand over a mouth.
6 Mgbe m chere echiche maka nke a, egwu tụrụ m meekwa ka ahụ m maa jijiji.
And if I remember [this] and I am disturbed and it takes hold of flesh my shuddering.

Bull his it impregnates and not it fails it calves cow his and not it miscarries.
11 Ha na-ezipụ ụmụ ha dịka igwe atụrụ; ụmụntakịrị ha na-etegharị egwu.
They send forth like flock young boys their and children their they leap about!
12 Ha na-abụ abụ nʼụda egwu otiti na ụbọ akwara; ha na-aṅụrịkwa ọṅụ nʼụda nke ọja.
They lift according to tambourine and harp so they may rejoice to [the] sound of a flute.
(They complete *Q(K)*) in the good days their and in a moment Sheol they descend. (Sheol h7585)
14 Ma ndị a na-asị Chineke, ‘Hapụ anyị aka, ọ dịghị anyị mkpa ịmata ụzọ gị.

Are they? like straw before a wind and like chaff [which] it has stolen it a storm-wind.

And this [one] he will die with a soul bitter and not he has eaten in the good.
26 Nke ọbụla nʼime ha dina nʼakụkụ ibe ya nʼime aja, ikpuru kpuchikwara ha abụọ.
Together on dust they will lie and a maggot it will cover over them.

33 Aja dị na ndagwurugwu na-atọ ha ụtọ; Mmadụ niile na-eso ha nʼazụ, na ọtụtụ a na-apụghị ịgụta ọnụ na-ebu ha ụzọ nʼaga.
They will be sweet to him [the] clods of [the] wadi and after him every person he will follow and before him there not [is] number.
34 “Ya mere, olee otu unu ga-esi were okwu na-enweghị isi kasịe m obi? Ọ dịghị ihe fọdụrụ nʼọsịịsa unu ma ọ bụghị naanị okwu ụgha.”
