How to pronounce this Latin proverb- "Absurdum est ut alios regat, qui seipsum regere nescit"?

Question

How do you pronounce "Absurdum est ut alios regat, qui seipsum regere nescit" ? I know it means " It is absurd that a man should rule others, who cannot rule himself" , but I was wondering how to pronounce it?

I'll give you a rough English-based approximation:

ob-sir-doom est oot ah-lee-ohss ray-got, kwee sayp-soom ray-gay-day ness-keet

Absurdum est ut alios regat, qui se ipsum regere nescit.
and here's the link for the closest to classical latin pronunciation as close as you're gonna get:

I had to change qui to cui so it'd say it right. (of course cui or CVI is a different word than qui or QVI, but it was for the pronunciation)
