Job 35
1 Elihu spake moreouer, and said,
Ningĩ Elihu akiuga atĩrĩ:
2 Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?
“Nĩũgwĩciiria ũhoro ũyũ nĩ wa kĩhooto? Ũroiga atĩrĩ, ‘Mũrungu nĩekũnjarĩrĩria atue ndiĩhĩtie.’
3 For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne?
No rĩrĩ, wee no ũramũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Kũrĩ na uumithio ũrĩkũ harĩ niĩ, na ngũgunĩka nakĩ ndaaga kwĩhia?’
4 Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee.
“No nyende gũgũcookeria ũhoro, wee hamwe na arata aku.
5 Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou.
Ta rora igũrũ wone; ta cũthĩrĩria matu macio marĩ igũrũ rĩaku kũraya mũno.
6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?
Ũngĩĩhia-rĩ, ũndũ ũcio ũngĩhutia Ngai atĩa? Mehia maku mangĩingĩha mũno-rĩ, ũndũ ũcio ũngĩmwĩka atĩa?
7 If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand?
Ũngĩkorwo ũrĩ mũthingu-rĩ, ũngĩmũhe kĩĩ, kana nĩ kĩĩ aamũkagĩra kuuma guoko-inĩ gwaku?
8 Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man.
Waganu waku ũhutagia o mũndũ tawe, na ũthingu waku ũkahutia o ciana cia andũ.
9 They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie.
“Andũ makayaga nĩ icooki rĩa kũhinyĩrĩrio; mathaithanaga mateithũrwo guoko-inĩ kwa ũcio ũrĩ hinya mũingĩ.
10 But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?
No gũtirĩ mũndũ uugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Ngai ũrĩa wanyũũmbire arĩ ha, ũrĩa ũheaga mũndũ nyĩmbo ũtukũ,
11 Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen.
ũrĩa ũtũrutaga maũndũ gũkĩra ũrĩa arutaga nyamũ cia werũ-inĩ, o na agatũhe ũũgĩ gũkĩra nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ?’
12 Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not.
Ndacookagia rĩrĩa andũ maakaya nĩ ũndũ wa mwĩtũũgĩrio wa andũ arĩa aaganu.
13 Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.
Ti-itherũ, Mũrungu ndathikagĩrĩria mathaithana mao ma tũhũ; ũcio Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ndarũmbũyagia mathaithana macio.
14 Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.
Githĩ ndakaaga gũthikĩrĩria mũno makĩria rĩrĩa ũkuuga atĩ ndũramuona, na atĩ ciira waku ũrĩ mbere yake, na no nginya ũmweterere,
15 But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,
na makĩria ma ũguo ũkoiga atĩ marakara make matiherithanagia na ndarũmbũyagia waganu o na hanini!
16 Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ayubu atumũrĩte kanua gake akaaria ũhoro wa tũhũ; nĩarĩĩtie ndeto nyingĩ atarĩ na ũmenyo.”
