Job 33
1 Therefore, hear my speeches, Job, and listen to all my words.
“No rĩu Ayubu-rĩ, thikĩrĩria ciugo ciakwa; tega matũ ũigue ũrĩa wothe nguuga.
2 Behold, I have opened my mouth; let my tongue speak along with my throat.
Ndĩ hakuhĩ gũtumũra kanua gakwa; ciugo ciakwa irĩ o rũrĩmĩ-inĩ rwakwa.
3 My words are from my simple heart, and my lips will speak a pure judgment.
Ciugo ciakwa ciumĩte ngoro nũngĩrĩru; mĩromo yakwa yaragia ĩtarĩ na ũhinga.
4 The Spirit of God made me, and the breath of the Almighty gave me life.
Roho wa Mũrungu nĩwe ũnyũmbĩte; mĩhũmũ ya Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩyo ĩĩheaga muoyo.
5 If you can, answer me, and oppose me to my face.
Nawe njookeria, akorwo nĩũkũhota; wĩhaarĩrie ũũngʼethere.
6 Behold, God has made me, just as he also has made you, and I, likewise, have been formed of the same clay.
Niĩ haana o tawe maitho-inĩ ma Mũrungu; o na niĩ ndombirwo na rĩũmba.
7 So, truly, do not let my wonders terrify you, and do not let my eloquence be burdensome to you.
Kwĩĩndigĩra gũtigakũmakie, kana guoko gwakwa gũkũritũhĩre.
8 For you have spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of your words, saying:
“No rĩrĩ, nĩuugĩte ngĩiguaga, ngaigua ciugo icio ũkiuga atĩ,
9 “I am clean and without sin; I am immaculate, and there is no iniquity in me.
‘Ndĩ mũtheru na ndirĩ na mehia; ndiĩkĩte ũũru, na ndirĩ na mahĩtia.
10 Yet he has discovered blame in me, and so he has treated me like his enemy.
No Ngai nĩanyonete na mahĩtia; anduĩte thũ yake.
11 He has put my feet in fetters; he has kept watch over all my ways.”
Nĩanjohaga magũrũ na mĩnyororo; arangagĩra njĩra ciakwa ciothe.’
12 Therefore, it is for this reason that you have not been justified. For I tell you that God is greater than man.
“No ngũkwĩra atĩrĩ, ũhoro-inĩ ũyũ wee ndũrĩ na kĩhooto, nĩgũkorwo Ngai nĩ mũnene gũkĩra mũndũ.
13 Do you contend against him because he has not responded to all of your words?
Ũramũtetia nĩkĩ, atĩ ndacookagia kiugo kĩa mũndũ o na kĩmwe?
14 God speaks once, and he does not repeat the same thing a second time.
Nĩgũkorwo Mũrungu nĩaaragia, rĩmwe na njĩra ĩmwe, na rĩngĩ akaaria na njĩra ĩngĩ, o na gũtuĩka mũndũ no aage gũkũũrana.
15 Through a dream in a vision of the night, when a deep sleep falls over men, and they are sleeping in their beds,
Rĩmwe akaaragia kĩroto-inĩ na kĩoneki-inĩ gĩa ũtukũ, rĩrĩa andũ mahĩtĩtwo nĩ toro mũnene marĩ ũrĩrĩ,
16 then, he opens the ears of men, and, educating them, he teaches discipline,
no amaarĩrie matũ-inĩ mao, na amamakie nĩguo amakaanie,
17 so that he may divert a man from the things that he is doing, and may free him from pride,
nĩguo agarũre mũndũ atige kũhĩtia, na atigane na mwĩtĩĩo,
18 rescuing his soul from corruption and his life from passing away by the sword.
nĩguo agitĩre roho wake kuuma gĩkuũ-inĩ, na agitĩre muoyo wake ndũkaniinwo na rũhiũ rwa njora.
19 Likewise, he rebukes by sorrow in bed, and he causes all of his bones to become weak.
Ningĩ mũndũ no arũithio na gũkomio ũrĩrĩ wa ruo, akorwo na thĩĩna wa mahĩndĩ ũtathiraga,
20 Bread becomes abominable to him in his life, and, to his soul, the meat which before he desired.
o nginya ngoro yake ĩgathũũra irio, na roho wake ũgathũũra irio iria njega mũno.
21 His body will waste away, and his bones, which had been covered, will be revealed.
Nyama cia mwĩrĩ wake ihĩnjaga igathirĩrĩkĩra, na mahĩndĩ make marĩa mataroonekaga makoimĩra.
22 His soul has approached corruption, and his life has drawn near to what is deadly.
Roho wake ũgakuhĩrĩria mbĩrĩra, na muoyo wake ũgakuhĩrĩria arĩa mareehage gĩkuũ.
23 If there were an angel speaking for him, one among thousands, to declare the fairness of the man,
“No rĩrĩ, angĩkorwo harĩ na mũraika mwena wake arĩ mũiguithania, ũmwe harĩ ngiri, wa kwĩra mũndũ ũndũ ũrĩa ũmwagĩrĩire,
24 he will have mercy on him, and he will say, “Free him, so that he will not descend to destruction. I have found a reason to be favorable to him.
nake amũkinyĩrie wega wake na oige atĩrĩ, ‘Mũhonokie ndagatuĩke wa gũikũrũka mbĩrĩra-inĩ; nĩnyonete gĩa kũmũkũũra nakĩo,’
25 His body is consumed by suffering. Let him return to the days of his youth.”
hĩndĩ ĩyo nyama cia mwĩrĩ wake igeethĩha ta cia mwana; igaacooka ta ũrĩa ciarĩ matukũ-inĩ ma wĩthĩ wake.
26 He will beg pardon from God, and he will be soothing to him; and he will look upon his face in jubilation, and he will restore his justice to man.
Ahooyaga Ngai ageekwo wega nĩwe, oonaga ũthiũ wa Ngai akaanĩrĩra nĩ gũkena; agacookio ũthingu-inĩ wake nĩ Ngai.
27 He will consider mankind, and he will say: “I have sinned and truly I have offended, yet I was not treated as I deserved.”
Nake agacooka agathiĩ kũrĩ andũ akameera atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩndehirie, na ngĩogomia ũndũ ũrĩa warĩ wa ma, no ndiigana kũherithio ũrĩa ndaagĩrĩirwo nĩkũherithio.
28 He has freed his soul from continuing into destruction, so that, in living, it may see the light.
Nĩakũũrire roho wakwa ndũkaharũrũkio mbĩrĩra, na niĩ ngũtũũra ngenagĩra ũtheri ũcio.’
29 Behold, all these things God works three times within each one,
“Mũrungu nĩekaga mũndũ maũndũ macio mothe, maita meerĩ o na kana matatũ,
30 so that he may revive their souls from corruption and enlighten them with the light of life.
nĩguo agarũre roho wake ndũkaharũrũkio mbĩrĩra, nĩgeetha ũtheri ũcio wa muoyo ũmũtherere.
31 Pay attention Job, and listen to me; and remain silent, while I speak.
“Atĩrĩrĩ Ayubu, tega matũ na ũũthikĩrĩrie; kira ki na niĩ njarie.
32 Yet, if you have anything to say, answer me and speak, for I want you to be treated justly.
Wakorwo ũrĩ na ũndũ wa kuuga-rĩ, njĩĩra; aria, nĩgũkorwo ingĩenda woneke ndwĩhĩtie.
33 But if you do not have anything to say, then listen to me. Be quiet and I will teach you wisdom.
No akorwo ti ũguo-rĩ, wee gĩthikĩrĩrie; kira ki, na nĩngũkũruta ũũgĩ.”
