Job 36
1 Elihu also proceeded and sayde,
Elihu agĩthiĩ na mbere kwaria, akiuga atĩrĩ:
2 Suffer me a litle, and I will instruct thee: for I haue yet to speake on Gods behalfe.
“Ngirĩrĩria hanini, na nĩngũkuonia atĩ harĩ maũndũ mangĩ mangiugwo ma gũciirĩrĩra Ngai.
3 I will fetche my knowledge afarre off, and will attribute righteousnes vnto my Maker.
Ũmenyo wakwa ndĩũrutĩte kũraihu; niĩ ngũtũũgĩria kĩhooto kĩa ũcio Mũnyũũmbi.
4 For truely my wordes shall not be false, and he that is perfect in knowledge, speaketh with thee.
Menya wega atĩ ndeto ciakwa ti cia maheeni; ũyũ mũrĩ nake arĩ na ũmenyo mũkinyanĩru.
5 Behold, the mighty God casteth away none that is mighty and valiant of courage.
“Mũrungu nĩwe mwene hinya, no ndairaga andũ; we nĩ mwene hinya, na nĩarũmagia muoroto wake.
6 He mainteineth not the wicked, but he giueth iudgement to the afflicted.
Ndatũũragia arĩa aaganu muoyo, no nĩaheaga arĩa anyariire kĩhooto kĩao.
7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous, but they are with Kings in ye throne, where he placeth them for euer: thus they are exalted.
Ndeheragia maitho make harĩ arĩa athingu; amaikaragĩria gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene hamwe na athamaki, na akamatũũgĩria nginya tene.
8 And if they bee bound in fetters and tyed with the cordes of affliction,
No rĩrĩ, andũ mangĩkorwo mohetwo na mĩnyororo, makanyiitio na mĩhĩndo ya mĩnyamaro,
9 Then will he shewe them their worke and their sinnes, because they haue bene proude.
we nĩameeraga ũrĩa mekĩte, atĩ mehĩtie na ũtũrĩka.
10 He openeth also their eare to discipline, and commandeth them that they returne from iniquity.
We nĩatũmaga mathikĩrĩrie ũtaaro, na akamaatha merire ũũru wao.
11 If they obey and serue him, they shall end their dayes in prosperity, and their yeres in pleasures.
Mangĩmwathĩkĩra na mamũtungatĩre, megũtũũra matukũ mao marĩa matigaru magaacĩire, na mĩaka yao o maiganĩire.
12 But if they wil not obey, they shall passe by the sworde, and perish without knowledge.
No mangĩaga kũigua, nĩmakaniinwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, na makue matarĩ na ũmenyo.
13 But the hypocrites of heart increase the wrath: for they call not when he bindeth them.
“Arĩa matarĩ na Ngai ngoro-inĩ meiigagĩra marakara; o na rĩrĩa aramooha na mĩnyororo, matikayaga mateithio.
14 Their soule dyeth in youth, and their life among the whoremongers.
Makuuaga marĩ ethĩ, magakua hamwe na arũme arĩa maraya ma mahooero-inĩ.
15 He deliuereth the poore in his affliction, and openeth their eare in trouble.
No arĩa mathĩĩnĩkaga, nĩamakũũraga kuuma thĩĩna-inĩ wao; nĩamaragĩria marĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ.
16 Euen so woulde he haue taken thee out of the streight place into a broade place and not shut vp beneath: and that which resteth vpon thy table, had bene full of fat.
“We-rĩ, nĩarakũguucĩrĩria uume magego-inĩ ma mĩnyamaro, agũtware handũ haariĩ hatarĩ na ũkunderu, na agũtware akũhurũkie metha-inĩ yaku ĩiyũrĩte irio iria njega.
17 But thou art ful of the iudgement of the wicked, though iudgement and equitie maintaine all things.
No rĩu-rĩ, ũtitikithĩtio ituĩro rĩrĩa rĩagĩrĩire arĩa aaganu; ituĩro rĩa ciira na kĩhooto nĩcigũkumbatĩte.
18 For Gods wrath is, least hee should take that away in thine abundance: for no multitude of giftes can deliuer thee.
Wĩmenyerere mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ndakanakũheenererie na ũtonga; ndũgetĩkĩrie ihaki inene rĩkũhĩtithie njĩra.
19 Wil he regard thy riches? he regardeth not golde, nor all them that excel in strength.
Ũtonga waku o na kana kĩyo gĩaku kĩnene-rĩ, no ikũnyiitĩrĩre nĩguo ndũgatoonye mĩnyamaro-inĩ?
20 Be not carefull in the night, howe he destroyeth the people out of their place.
Tiga kwĩrirĩria ũtukũ, nĩguo ũguucũrũrie andũ kuuma kwao mĩciĩ.
21 Take thou heede: looke not to iniquitie: for thou hast chosen it rather then affliction.
Wĩmenyerere ndũkeerekere ũũru-inĩ, tondũ ũkuoneka taarĩ guo wendete gũkĩra gũthĩĩnĩka.
22 Beholde, God exalteth by his power: what teacher is like him?
“Mũrungu nĩatũgĩrĩtio nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoti wake. Nũũ mũrutani take?
23 Who hath appointed to him his way? or who can say, Thou hast done wickedly?
Nũũ ũmwathĩrĩire njĩra ciake, kana akamwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Wee nĩwĩkĩte ũũru’?
24 Remember that thou magnifie his worke, which men behold.
Ririkanaga gwĩkĩrĩra wĩra wake, ũrĩa andũ manakumia na rwĩmbo.
25 All men see it, and men beholde it afarre off.
Andũ othe nĩmawonete; andũ mawĩroragĩra marĩ o kũraya.
26 Beholde, God is excellent, and we knowe him not, neither can the nomber of his yeres bee searched out.
Ĩ Mũrungu ndakĩrĩ mũnene; nĩ mũnene gũkĩra ũmenyi witũ! Mũigana wa mĩaka yake ndũngĩtuĩrĩka.
27 When he restraineth the droppes of water, the rayne powreth down by the vapour thereof,
“Ambatagia matata ma maaĩ, marĩa macookaga gũtaatĩra tũrũũĩ ta mbura;
28 Which raine the cloudes do droppe and let fall abundantly vpon man.
matu magaita ũigũ wamo, nayo mbura nyingĩ ĩkoirĩra andũ.
29 Who can know the diuisions of ye clouds and the thunders of his tabernacle?
Nũũ ũngĩmenya ũrĩa atambũrũkagia matu, kana ũhoro wa marurumĩ marĩa moimaga hema-inĩ yake?
30 Beholde, he spreadeth his light vpon it, and couereth the bottome of the sea.
Kĩone ũrĩa ahurunjaga rũheni rwake rũkamũthiũrũrũkĩria, agathambia iria kũrĩa kũriku.
31 For thereby hee iudgeth the people, and giueth meate abundantly.
Ũũ nĩguo aathaga ndũrĩrĩ na akaheana irio nyingĩ.
32 He couereth the light with the clouds, and commandeth them to go against it.
Akumbatagĩria rũheni na moko make, na akarwatha rũringe kĩrĩa kĩorotetwo.
33 His companion sheweth him thereof, and there is anger in rising vp.
Marurumĩ make nĩmanagĩrĩra kĩhuhũkanio kĩrĩa kĩroka; o na ngʼombe nĩimenyithanagia atĩ kũrĩ kĩhuhũkanio kĩroka.
