Job 33
1 Wherefore, Iob, I pray thee, heare my talke and hearken vnto all my wordes.
“No rĩu Ayubu-rĩ, thikĩrĩria ciugo ciakwa; tega matũ ũigue ũrĩa wothe nguuga.
2 Beholde now, I haue opened my mouth: my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
Ndĩ hakuhĩ gũtumũra kanua gakwa; ciugo ciakwa irĩ o rũrĩmĩ-inĩ rwakwa.
3 My words are in the vprightnesse of mine heart, and my lippes shall speake pure knowledge.
Ciugo ciakwa ciumĩte ngoro nũngĩrĩru; mĩromo yakwa yaragia ĩtarĩ na ũhinga.
4 The Spirite of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almightie hath giuen me life.
Roho wa Mũrungu nĩwe ũnyũmbĩte; mĩhũmũ ya Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩyo ĩĩheaga muoyo.
5 If thou canst giue me answere, prepare thy selfe and stand before me.
Nawe njookeria, akorwo nĩũkũhota; wĩhaarĩrie ũũngʼethere.
6 Beholde, I am according to thy wish in Gods stead: I am also formed of the clay.
Niĩ haana o tawe maitho-inĩ ma Mũrungu; o na niĩ ndombirwo na rĩũmba.
7 Beholde, my terrour shall not feare thee, neither shall mine hand be heauie vpon thee.
Kwĩĩndigĩra gũtigakũmakie, kana guoko gwakwa gũkũritũhĩre.
8 Doubtles thou hast spoken in mine eares, and I haue heard the voyce of thy wordes.
“No rĩrĩ, nĩuugĩte ngĩiguaga, ngaigua ciugo icio ũkiuga atĩ,
9 I am cleane, without sinne: I am innocent, and there is none iniquitie in me.
‘Ndĩ mũtheru na ndirĩ na mehia; ndiĩkĩte ũũru, na ndirĩ na mahĩtia.
10 Lo, he hath found occasions against me, and counted me for his enemie.
No Ngai nĩanyonete na mahĩtia; anduĩte thũ yake.
11 He hath put my feete in the stockes, and looketh narrowly vnto all my paths.
Nĩanjohaga magũrũ na mĩnyororo; arangagĩra njĩra ciakwa ciothe.’
12 Behold, in this hast thou not done right: I will answere thee, that God is greater then man.
“No ngũkwĩra atĩrĩ, ũhoro-inĩ ũyũ wee ndũrĩ na kĩhooto, nĩgũkorwo Ngai nĩ mũnene gũkĩra mũndũ.
13 Why doest thou striue against him? for he doeth not giue account of all his matters.
Ũramũtetia nĩkĩ, atĩ ndacookagia kiugo kĩa mũndũ o na kĩmwe?
14 For God speaketh once or twise, and one seeth it not.
Nĩgũkorwo Mũrungu nĩaaragia, rĩmwe na njĩra ĩmwe, na rĩngĩ akaaria na njĩra ĩngĩ, o na gũtuĩka mũndũ no aage gũkũũrana.
15 In dreames and visions of the night, when sleepe falleth vpon men, and they sleepe vpon their beds,
Rĩmwe akaaragia kĩroto-inĩ na kĩoneki-inĩ gĩa ũtukũ, rĩrĩa andũ mahĩtĩtwo nĩ toro mũnene marĩ ũrĩrĩ,
16 Then he openeth the eares of men, euen by their corrections, which he had sealed,
no amaarĩrie matũ-inĩ mao, na amamakie nĩguo amakaanie,
17 That he might cause man to turne away from his enterprise, and that he might hide the pride of man,
nĩguo agarũre mũndũ atige kũhĩtia, na atigane na mwĩtĩĩo,
18 And keepe backe his soule from the pit, and that his life should not passe by the sword.
nĩguo agitĩre roho wake kuuma gĩkuũ-inĩ, na agitĩre muoyo wake ndũkaniinwo na rũhiũ rwa njora.
19 He is also striken with sorow vpon his bed, and the griefe of his bones is sore,
Ningĩ mũndũ no arũithio na gũkomio ũrĩrĩ wa ruo, akorwo na thĩĩna wa mahĩndĩ ũtathiraga,
20 So that his life causeth him to abhorre bread, and his soule daintie meate.
o nginya ngoro yake ĩgathũũra irio, na roho wake ũgathũũra irio iria njega mũno.
21 His flesh faileth that it can not be seene, and his bones which were not seene, clatter.
Nyama cia mwĩrĩ wake ihĩnjaga igathirĩrĩkĩra, na mahĩndĩ make marĩa mataroonekaga makoimĩra.
22 So his soule draweth to the graue, and his life to the buriers.
Roho wake ũgakuhĩrĩria mbĩrĩra, na muoyo wake ũgakuhĩrĩria arĩa mareehage gĩkuũ.
23 If there be a messenger with him, or an interpreter, one of a thousand to declare vnto man his righteousnesse,
“No rĩrĩ, angĩkorwo harĩ na mũraika mwena wake arĩ mũiguithania, ũmwe harĩ ngiri, wa kwĩra mũndũ ũndũ ũrĩa ũmwagĩrĩire,
24 Then will he haue mercie vpon him, and will say, Deliuer him, that he go not downe into the pit: for I haue receiued a reconciliation.
nake amũkinyĩrie wega wake na oige atĩrĩ, ‘Mũhonokie ndagatuĩke wa gũikũrũka mbĩrĩra-inĩ; nĩnyonete gĩa kũmũkũũra nakĩo,’
25 Then shall his flesh be as fresh as a childes, and shall returne as in the dayes of his youth.
hĩndĩ ĩyo nyama cia mwĩrĩ wake igeethĩha ta cia mwana; igaacooka ta ũrĩa ciarĩ matukũ-inĩ ma wĩthĩ wake.
26 He shall pray vnto God, and he will be fauourable vnto him, and he shall see his face with ioy: for he will render vnto man his righteousnes.
Ahooyaga Ngai ageekwo wega nĩwe, oonaga ũthiũ wa Ngai akaanĩrĩra nĩ gũkena; agacookio ũthingu-inĩ wake nĩ Ngai.
27 He looketh vpon men, and if one say, I haue sinned, and peruerted righteousnesse, and it did not profite me,
Nake agacooka agathiĩ kũrĩ andũ akameera atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩndehirie, na ngĩogomia ũndũ ũrĩa warĩ wa ma, no ndiigana kũherithio ũrĩa ndaagĩrĩirwo nĩkũherithio.
28 He will deliuer his soule from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
Nĩakũũrire roho wakwa ndũkaharũrũkio mbĩrĩra, na niĩ ngũtũũra ngenagĩra ũtheri ũcio.’
29 Lo, all these things will God worke twise or thrise with a man,
“Mũrungu nĩekaga mũndũ maũndũ macio mothe, maita meerĩ o na kana matatũ,
30 That he may turne backe his soule from the pit, to be illuminate in the light of the liuing.
nĩguo agarũre roho wake ndũkaharũrũkio mbĩrĩra, nĩgeetha ũtheri ũcio wa muoyo ũmũtherere.
31 Marke well, O Iob, and heare me: keepe silence, and I will speake.
“Atĩrĩrĩ Ayubu, tega matũ na ũũthikĩrĩrie; kira ki na niĩ njarie.
32 If there be matter, answere me, and speak: for I desire to iustifie thee.
Wakorwo ũrĩ na ũndũ wa kuuga-rĩ, njĩĩra; aria, nĩgũkorwo ingĩenda woneke ndwĩhĩtie.
33 If thou hast not, heare me: holde thy tongue, and I will teach thee wisedome.
No akorwo ti ũguo-rĩ, wee gĩthikĩrĩrie; kira ki, na nĩngũkũruta ũũgĩ.”
