Job 35
1 Mgbe ahụ, Elihu sịrị:
Elihu spake moreouer, and said,
2 “Ị na-eche na nke a ziri ezi? Ị sịrị, ‘Na m ziri ezi ọ bụghị Chineke.’
Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?
3 Nʼagbanyeghị ihe ndị a, ị na-ajụ ya si, ‘Uru gịnị ka ọ baara m, gịnị bụ uru m ma ọ bụrụ na emehieghị m?’
For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne?
4 “Ọ ga-amasị m ịzaghachi gị, zaghachikwa ndị enyi gị na ha nọ.
Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee.
5 Lelie anya na eluigwe ma hụkwa. Legide mbara igwe na igwe oji niile, nke dị anya karịa gị.
Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou.
6 Ọ bụrụ na i mehie, olee ụzọ nke a si metụta ya? Ọ bụrụ na mmehie gị bara ụba, gịnị ka nke a pụrụ ime ya?
If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?
7 Ọ bụrụ na ị bụ onye ezi omume, gịnị ka ị na-enye ya, maọbụ gịnị ka ọ na-anata site nʼaka gị?
If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand?
8 Ajọ omume gị na-emetụta naanị mmadụ dịka gị, ma ezi omume gị na-emetụta naanị ụmụ ndị mmadụ.
Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man.
9 “Ụmụ mmadụ na-eti mkpu akwa nʼihi ịba ụba nke mmegbu, ha na-arịọ arịrịọ enyemaka site nʼaka ndị dị ike.
They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie.
10 Ma ọ dịghị onye na-asị, ‘Olee ebe Chineke onye kere m nọ, onye na-enye abụ nʼime abalị,
But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?
11 onye na-akụziri anyị ihe karịa ka ọ na-akụziri ụmụ anụ ọhịa nke ụwa, onye na-eme ka anyị bụrụ ndị maara ihe karịa ụmụ nnụnụ nke igwe?’
Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen.
12 Ọ dịghị azaghachi mgbe ụmụ mmadụ na-eti mkpu akwa, nʼihi ịnya isi nke ndị ajọ omume.
Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not.
13 Nʼezie, Chineke adịghị aṅa ntị nʼarịrịọ efu ha; Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile a dịghị elebara ya anya.
Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.
14 Ma ya bụrụzie nke a ị na-ekwu, ọ ga-esi aṅaa gee ntị mgbe ị na-ekwu na ị dịghị ahụ ya anya, na i burula ikpe gị bịa nʼihu ya na ị ga-anọkwa na-eche ya!
Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.
15 Ọzọ, nʼihi na iwe ya adịghị eweta ntaramahụhụ, nʼihi na ọ dịghị arịba ama ajọ omume ọ bụladị nke dịkarịsịrị nta.
But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,
16 Ya mere, Job saghere ọnụ ya kwuo okwu dịka onye na-amaghị ihe; ka onye na-enweghị uche ọ na-ekwu okwu nkwukwasị efu.”
Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.
