Job 26
1 But Job answered and said,
Ningĩ Ayubu agĩcookia atĩrĩ:
2 How have you helped him that is without power? how save you the arm that has no strength?
“Kaĩ ũrĩ gũteithia ũrĩa ũtarĩ na ũhoti-ĩ! Kaĩ ũrĩ kũhonokia guoko kũrĩa gũtarĩ na hinya-ĩ!
3 How have you counselled him that has no wisdom? and how have you plentifully declared the thing as it is?
Kaĩ ũrĩ gũtaara mũndũ ũtarĩ na ũũgĩ-ĩ! Na atĩrĩ, kaĩ nĩwonanĩtie ũmenyo mũnene-ĩ!
4 To whom have you uttered words? and whose spirit came from you?
Nũũ wagũteithia kwaria ciugo icio? Na nĩ roho waũ waria na kanua gaku?
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
“Arĩa akuũ marĩ na ruo rũnene, o acio marĩ rungu rwa maaĩ na kĩrĩa gĩothe gĩtũũraga kuo.
Gĩkuũ nĩkĩguũranie mbere ya Ngai; mwanangĩko ũikarĩte ũtarĩ mũhumbĩre. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretches out the north over the empty place, and hangs the earth upon nothing.
Atambũrũkagia matu ma mwena wa gathigathini igũrũ rĩa kũndũ gũtarĩ kĩndũ; nayo thĩ ndarĩ kĩndũ amĩcunjurĩtie nakĩo.
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
Athayaga maaĩ thĩinĩ wa matu make, no matu macio matingĩtembũrwo nĩ ũritũ wamo.
9 He holds back the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud upon it.
Ahumbagĩra ũthiũ wa mweri rĩrĩa waiganana, agatambũrũkia matu make igũrũ rĩaguo.
10 He has compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
Nĩekĩrĩte rũkiriri igũrũ rĩa maaĩ, rũkahakania ũtheri na nduma.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
Itugĩ iria itiirĩrĩire igũrũ nĩ ithingithaga, ikagegearaga nĩ ũndũ wa ikũũmana rĩake.
12 He divides the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through the proud.
Nĩoirugire maaĩ ma iria na ũndũ wa hinya wake; na nĩ ũndũ wa ũũgĩ wake nĩatinaangirie Rahabu tũcunjĩ.
13 By his spirit he has garnished the heavens; his hand has formed the crooked serpent.
Mĩhũmũ yake nĩyo yathakaririe igũrũ; guoko gwake nĩ gwatheecire nyoka ĩrĩa ĩnyororokaga na ihenya.
14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
Atĩrĩrĩ, ĩno no mĩthia ya mawĩra make; kaĩ no kamũheehũ kanini tũiguaga ka ũhoro wake-ĩ! Nũũ ũngĩgĩtaũkĩrwo nĩ marurumĩ ma ũhoti wake?”
