Job 36
1 Elihu gara nʼihu sị:
Elihu also proceeded and sayde,
2 “Nyetụ m nwa oge nta, ka m gosi gị na ọ ka dị ọtụtụ ihe e nwere ikwu nyere Chineke.
Suffer me a litle, and I will instruct thee: for I haue yet to speake on Gods behalfe.
3 Ana m enweta amamihe m site nʼebe dị anya; aga m enye Onye kere m ezi omume.
I will fetche my knowledge afarre off, and will attribute righteousnes vnto my Maker.
4 Ya doo gị anya na okwu m abụghị okwu ụgha; onye zuruoke nʼihe ọmụma nọnyeere gị.
For truely my wordes shall not be false, and he that is perfect in knowledge, speaketh with thee.
5 “Chineke dị ike ma ọ dịghị eleda mmadụ ọbụla anya; ọ dị ike, bụrụkwa onye na-eme ihe ọbụla o zubere ime.
Behold, the mighty God casteth away none that is mighty and valiant of courage.
6 Ọ naghị edebe ndị ajọ omume ndụ, kama ọ na-enye ndị a na-akpagbu akpagbu ihe ruuru ha.
He mainteineth not the wicked, but he giueth iudgement to the afflicted.
7 Ọ dịghị ewepụ anya ya nʼebe ndị ezi omume nọ, kama ọ na-eme ka ha na ndị eze nọkwasị nʼocheeze, bụrụ ndị e buliri elu ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous, but they are with Kings in ye throne, where he placeth them for euer: thus they are exalted.
8 Ma ọ bụrụ na e kechie ụmụ mmadụ nʼagbụ igwe, jirikwa agbụ nke mkpagbu jidesie ha ike,
And if they bee bound in fetters and tyed with the cordes of affliction,
9 ọ na-agwa ha ihe ha mere, na ha sitere na nganga ha mehie.
Then will he shewe them their worke and their sinnes, because they haue bene proude.
10 Ọ na-eme ka ha ṅaa ntị nye ntụziaka, na-enyekwa ha iwu ka ha chegharịa site nʼajọ ihe ha na-eme.
He openeth also their eare to discipline, and commandeth them that they returne from iniquity.
11 Ọ bụrụ na ha erube isi, jekwaara ya ozi, ha ga-abụ ndị ga-ebi oge ndụ ha fọdụrụ nʼakụnụba, biekwa ogologo ndụ ha niile nʼafọ ojuju.
If they obey and serue him, they shall end their dayes in prosperity, and their yeres in pleasures.
12 Ma ọ bụrụ na ha egeghị ntị, ha ga-ala nʼiyi site na mma agha, ha ga-anwụ na-enweghị ọmụma ihe.
But if they wil not obey, they shall passe by the sworde, and perish without knowledge.
13 “Ndị ajọ omume na-ebu iro nʼobi ha. Ha adịghị echegharị kpọkuo ya ọ bụladị mgbe o kere ha agbụ.
But the hypocrites of heart increase the wrath: for they call not when he bindeth them.
14 Ha na-anwụ nʼoge okorobịa ha, nʼetiti ndị ikom na-agba akwụna nʼụlọ arụsị dị iche iche.
Their soule dyeth in youth, and their life among the whoremongers.
15 Ma ndị na-ahụsị anya ka ọ na-azọpụta site nʼahụhụ ha; na-agwa ha okwu site na mkpagbu ha.
He deliuereth the poore in his affliction, and openeth their eare in trouble.
16 “Ọ na-achọsi ike ịnapụta gị site nʼọnụ mkpagbu, baa nʼebe sara mbara, ebe mkpagbu na-adịghị, baa na tebul nke jupụtara na nri dị ezi ụtọ.
Euen so woulde he haue taken thee out of the streight place into a broade place and not shut vp beneath: and that which resteth vpon thy table, had bene full of fat.
17 Ma ugbu a, ikpe ọmụma dịịrị ndị ajọ omume na-anyịgbu gị; ikpe ọmụma na ikpe ziri ezi abịakwasịla gị.
But thou art ful of the iudgement of the wicked, though iudgement and equitie maintaine all things.
18 Lezie anya ka mmadụ ọbụla ghara iji akụnụba rafuo gị; ekwekwala ka ihe ngarị bara ụba wezuga gị nʼọnọdụ gị.
For Gods wrath is, least hee should take that away in thine abundance: for no multitude of giftes can deliuer thee.
19 Akụnụba gị maọbụ ịdị ike gị ha pụrụ ịnapụta gị ka ị ghara ịnọ na mkpagbu?
Wil he regard thy riches? he regardeth not golde, nor all them that excel in strength.
20 Anọla na-echere ka abalị bịa, mgbe a na-adọkpụrụ ndị ụmụ mmadụ site nʼụlọ ha pụọ.
Be not carefull in the night, howe he destroyeth the people out of their place.
21 Lezie anya, ka i ghara iche ihu nye ajọ ihe, bụ nke ọ dị ka ị na-ahọrọ karịa mkpagbu.
Take thou heede: looke not to iniquitie: for thou hast chosen it rather then affliction.
22 “E buliela Chineke elu nʼike ya, onye bụ onye ozizi dịka ya?
Beholde, God exalteth by his power: what teacher is like him?
23 Onye họpụtaara ya ụzọ ọ ga-agbaso, maọbụ sị ya ‘I meela ajọ ihe’?
Who hath appointed to him his way? or who can say, Thou hast done wickedly?
24 Cheta ka i bulie ọrụ aka ya elu, bụ nke ụmụ mmadụ torola site nʼabụ.
Remember that thou magnifie his worke, which men behold.
25 Mmadụ niile ahụzuola ya; ụmụ mmadụ nọ nʼebe dị anya na-ele ya anya.
All men see it, and men beholde it afarre off.
26 Lee, Chineke dị ukwuu, karịa nghọta anyị. Ọnụọgụgụ afọ ya karịrị mmadụ ịchọpụta.
Beholde, God is excellent, and we knowe him not, neither can the nomber of his yeres bee searched out.
27 “Ọ bụ ya na-eme ka ukuru mmiri rigoro nʼelu mgbe anwụ na-acha, nke a na-aghọ mmiri ozuzo nye iyi niile.
When he restraineth the droppes of water, the rayne powreth down by the vapour thereof,
28 Igwe ojii na-awụdata mmiri dị nʼime ya mee ka mmiri ozuzo dị ukwuu zokwasị ụmụ mmadụ.
Which raine the cloudes do droppe and let fall abundantly vpon man.
29 Onye pụrụ ịghọta ka o si gbasaa igwe ojii, ka o si ebigbọ site nʼebe obibi ya?
Who can know the diuisions of ye clouds and the thunders of his tabernacle?
30 Lee, ọ gbasaala amụma ya gburugburu ya na-ekpuchi ebe niile dịkarịsịrị omimi nke oke osimiri.
Beholde, he spreadeth his light vpon it, and couereth the bottome of the sea.
31 Nke a bụ ụzọ o si achị mba niile na-enyejukwa ha nri afọ.
For thereby hee iudgeth the people, and giueth meate abundantly.
32 O ji amụma nke egbe eluigwe kpojuo aka ya, ma na-enye ya iwu itida ihe ọbụla ọ chọrọ.
He couereth the light with the clouds, and commandeth them to go against it.
33 Ịda ụda nke egbe eluigwe na-akọwa ọbịbịa nke oke ifufe mmiri; ọ bụladị ehi na-eme ka a mara na ọ nọ nso.
His companion sheweth him thereof, and there is anger in rising vp.
