Job 20
1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite and saide,
Nake Zofaru ũrĩa Mũnaamathi agĩcookia atĩrĩ:
2 Doubtlesse my thoughts cause me to answere, and therefore I make haste.
“Meciiria makwa nĩ mathĩĩnĩku, na nĩkĩo ngũcookia, nĩ ũndũ nĩndangĩkĩte mũno.
3 I haue heard the correction of my reproch: therefore the spirite of mine vnderstanding causeth me to answere.
Ndĩraigua irũithia rĩa kũnjonorithia, naguo ũmenyo wakwa nĩũranjĩkĩra hinya wa gũcookia.
4 Knowest thou not this of olde? and since God placed man vpon the earth,
“Ti-itherũ nĩũũĩ ũrĩa gũtũire kuuma tene rĩrĩa mũndũ aigirwo gũkũ thĩ ĩno,
5 That the reioycing of the wicked is short, and that the ioy of hypocrites is but a moment?
atĩ kũrũũhia kwa arĩa aaganu no gwa kahinda, o nakĩo gĩkeno kĩa andũ arĩa matooĩ Ngai no gĩa kahinda kanini.
6 Though his excellencie mount vp to the heauen, and his head reache vnto the cloudes,
O na gũtuĩka mwĩtĩĩo wake nĩ ũkinyaga o igũrũ, naguo mũtwe wake ũkahutia matu-rĩ,
7 Yet shall hee perish for euer, like his dung, and they which haue seene him, shall say, Where is hee?
agaathira nginya tene o ta mai make mwene; arĩa manamuona mooragie atĩrĩ, ‘Kaĩ aathiire kũ?’
8 He shall flee away as a dreame, and they shall not finde him, and shall passe away as a vision of the night,
Airagĩria ta kĩroto, akaaga kuoneka rĩngĩ, akaingatwo ta kĩoneki kĩa ũtukũ.
9 So that the eye which had seene him, shall do so no more, and his place shall see him no more.
Riitho rĩrĩa rĩamuonaga rĩtikamuona rĩngĩ; harĩa aaikaraga hatikamuona rĩngĩ.
10 His children shall flatter the poore, and his hands shall restore his substance.
Ciana ciake ikaageragia kwĩiguithania na athĩĩni; moko make mwene no nginya magaacookia ũtonga wake kũrĩa aaũrutire.
11 His bones are full of the sinne of his youth, and it shall lie downe with him in the dust.
Hinya wa wĩthĩ ũrĩa ũiyũrĩte mahĩndĩ-inĩ make ũgaakoma hamwe nake rũkũngũ-inĩ.
12 When wickednesse was sweete in his mouth, and he hid it vnder his tongue,
“O na gũtuĩka ũũru ũrĩ mũrĩo ũrĩ kanua gake, na nĩaũhithaga rungu rwa rũrĩmĩ rwake,
13 And fauoured it, and would not forsake it, but kept it close in his mouth,
o na gũtuĩka ndangĩhota kũũrekia na aũigaga kanua gake-rĩ,
14 Then his meat in his bowels was turned: the gall of Aspes was in the middes of him.
irio ciake nĩikarũra irĩ nda yake; igaatuĩka ũrũrũ wa nduĩra thĩinĩ wake.
15 He hath deuoured substance, and hee shall vomit it: for God shall drawe it out of his bellie.
Nĩagatahĩka ũtonga ũrĩa ameretie; Mũrungu nĩagatũma aũtahĩke.
16 He shall sucke the gall of Aspes, and the vipers tongue shall slay him.
Nĩakoonga thumu wa nyoka; magego ma nyoka nĩmo makaamũũraga.
17 He shall not see the riuers, nor the floods and streames of honie and butter.
Ndagakenera tũrũũĩ, njũũĩ iria ithereraga ũũkĩ na ngorono.
18 He shall restore the labour, and shall deuoure no more: euen according to the substance shalbe his exchange, and he shall enioy it no more.
Kĩndũ kĩrĩa anogeire no nginya agagĩcookia atakĩrĩte; ndagakenera uumithio wa wonjoria wake.
19 For he hath vndone many: he hath forsaken the poore, and hath spoyled houses which he builded not.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩahinyĩrĩirie athĩĩni, akamatiga matarĩ na kĩndũ; nĩatunyanĩte nyũmba iria ataakire.
20 Surely he shall feele no quietnes in his bodie, neither shall he reserue of that which he desired.
“Ti-itherũ merirĩria make matingĩthira; ndangĩĩhonokia na indo iria eigĩire.
21 There shall none of his meate bee left: therefore none shall hope for his goods.
Gũtirĩ kĩndũ atigĩirio gĩa kũrĩa; ũtonga wake ndũgatũũra.
22 When he shalbe filled with his abundance, he shalbe in paine, and the hand of all the wicked shall assaile him.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aiganĩire nĩ ũndũ wa kũingĩhia indo, mĩnyamaro nĩĩkamũnyiita; ũkĩa nĩũkamũkora na nditi nene.
23 He shall be about to fill his belly, but God shall sende vpon him his fierce wrath, and shall cause to rayne vpon him, euen vpon his meate.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aiyũrĩtie nda yake-rĩ, nĩguo Ngai akaarekereria marakara make mahiũ mamũkore na amuurĩrie mahũũra make.
24 He shall flee from the yron weapons, and the bow of steele shall strike him through.
O na angĩũrĩra indo cia mbaara cia kĩgera, akaarathwo na mũguĩ wa gĩcango.
25 The arrowe is drawen out, and commeth forth of the body, and shineth of his gall, so feare commeth vpon him.
Aũcomoraga kuuma ngʼongʼo wake, mũtheece ũcio mũkengu akaũcomora kuuma ini-inĩ rĩake. Imakania nĩikamũkorerera;
26 All darkenes shalbe hid in his secret places: the fire that is not blowen, shall deuoure him, and that which remaineth in his tabernacle, shalbe destroyed.
nduma nene nĩyetereire igĩĩna ciake. Mwaki ũtarĩ mũhurutĩre nĩũkamũcina, na ũniine kĩrĩa gĩtigaire thĩinĩ wa hema yake.
27 The heauen shall declare his wickednes, and the earth shall rise vp against him.
Igũrũ nĩrĩkaguũria wĩhia wake; thĩ nayo nĩĩkarahũka ĩmũũkĩrĩre.
28 The increase of his house shall go away: it shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
Kĩguũ nĩgĩgathereria nyũmba yake, indo cia nyũmba yake ithererio nĩ kĩguũ mũthenya ũcio wa mangʼũrĩ ma Ngai.
29 This is the portion of the wicked man from God, and the heritage that he shall haue of God for his wordes.
Ũcio nĩguo ũndũ ũrĩa Ngai agayagĩra arĩa aaganu, igai rĩrĩa maathĩrĩirwo nĩ Mũrungu.”
