Job 18
1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
Ningĩ Bilidadi ũrĩa Mũshuhi agĩcookia, akĩũria atĩrĩ:
2 When will yee make an ende of your words? cause vs to vnderstande, and then wee will speake.
“Ũrĩĩtiga kwaria mĩario ĩno rĩ? Gĩa na ũũgĩ nĩguo o na ithuĩ tũhote kwaria.
3 Wherefore are wee counted as beastes, and are vile in your sight?
Nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma ũtuone tũhaana ta ngʼombe, na tũgatuuo irimũ maitho-inĩ maku?
4 Thou art as one that teareth his soule in his anger. Shall the earth bee forsaken for thy sake? or the rocke remoued out of his place?
Wee ũrehanyũrũra nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa ũrakarĩte-rĩ, thĩ no ĩthaamwo nĩ ũndũ waku? Kana no nginya ndwaro cia mahiga cieherio harĩa itũire?
5 Yea, the light of the wicked shalbe quenched, and the sparke of his fire shall not shine.
“Tawa wa mũndũ mwaganu nĩmũhorie; rũrĩrĩmbĩ rwa mwaki wake nĩrũtigĩte gwakana.
6 The light shalbe darke in his dwelling, and his candle shalbe put out with him.
Ũtheri ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa hema yake ũtuĩkĩte nduma; naguo tawa ũrĩa ũrĩ hakuhĩ nake ũkahora.
7 The steps of his strength shalbe restrained, and his owne counsell shall cast him downe.
Hinya wa mũkinyũkĩrie wake nĩmũhũthie; namo mathugunda make makamũgũithia thĩ.
8 For hee is taken in the net by his feete, and he walketh vpon the snares.
Makinya make mamũikagia wabu-inĩ, nake akoorũraga thĩinĩ wa marima mayo.
9 The grenne shall take him by the heele, and the theefe shall come vpon him.
Mũtego ũmũnyiitĩire ndiira-inĩ ya kũgũrũ; mũtego ũgakĩmũrũmia biũ.
10 A snare is layed for him in the ground, and a trappe for him in the way.
Ahithĩirwo kĩana kĩa rũrigi tĩĩri-inĩ, akaambĩrwo mũtego njĩra-inĩ yake.
11 Fearefulnesse shall make him afrayde on euery side, and shall driue him to his feete.
Imakania imuumagĩrĩra na mĩena yothe, na ikamũtengʼeragia harĩa hothe aagerera.
12 His strength shalbe famine: and destruction shalbe readie at his side.
Mũtino nĩũmũhũũtĩire; mwanangĩko wetereire agwe.
13 It shall deuoure the inner partes of his skinne, and the first borne of death shall deuoure his strength.
Mũtino ũrĩĩaga icunjĩ cia gĩkonde gĩake; narĩo irigithathi rĩa gĩkuũ rĩgatambuuranga ciĩga ciake.
14 His hope shalbe rooted out of his dwelling, and shall cause him to go to the King of feare.
Aguucĩtio, akarutwo ũgitĩri-inĩ wa hema yake, na agatwarwo kũrĩ mũthamaki wa imakania.
15 Feare shall dwell in his house (because it is not his) and brimstone shalbe scattered vpon his habitation.
Mwaki nĩguo ũtũũraga hema-inĩ yake; ũbiriti ũgwakana nĩũhurunjĩtwo gĩikaro gĩake.
16 His rootes shalbe dryed vp beneath, and aboue shall his branche be cut downe.
Mĩri yake yũmagĩra tĩĩri-inĩ, nacio honge ciake ikahooha na igũrũ.
17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall haue no name in the streete.
Kĩririkano gĩake nĩ gĩgaathira thĩ; ndarĩ rĩĩtwa bũrũri-inĩ.
18 They shall driue him out of the light vnto darkenesse, and chase him out of the world.
Akaarutũrũrwo ũtheri-inĩ atwarwo nduma-inĩ na nĩakaingatwo oime thĩ ĩno.
19 Hee shall neither haue sonne nor nephewe among his people, nor any posteritie in his dwellings.
Ndarĩ ciana kana njiaro thĩinĩ wa andũ ao, o na ndarĩ mũndũ wake ũgaatigara kũrĩa aatũũraga.
20 The posteritie shalbe astonied at his day, and feare shall come vpon the ancient.
Andũ a mwena wa ithũĩro nĩmakagegio nĩ maũndũ marĩa mamũkorete; andũ a mwena wa irathĩro manyiitwo nĩ kĩmako.
21 Surely such are the habitations of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
Ti-itherũ ũguo nĩguo gĩikaro kĩa mũndũ mwaganu gũkahaana; kũndũ kwa mũndũ ũrĩa ũtooĩ Mũrungu-rĩ, gwake kũhaana ũguo.”
