Job 36
1 And Elius further continued, and said,
Elihu agĩthiĩ na mbere kwaria, akiuga atĩrĩ:
2 Wait for me yet a little while, that I may teach you: for there is yet speech in me.
“Ngirĩrĩria hanini, na nĩngũkuonia atĩ harĩ maũndũ mangĩ mangiugwo ma gũciirĩrĩra Ngai.
3 Having fetched my knowledge from afar, and according to my works,
Ũmenyo wakwa ndĩũrutĩte kũraihu; niĩ ngũtũũgĩria kĩhooto kĩa ũcio Mũnyũũmbi.
4 I will speak just things truly, and you shall not unjustly receive unjust words.
Menya wega atĩ ndeto ciakwa ti cia maheeni; ũyũ mũrĩ nake arĩ na ũmenyo mũkinyanĩru.
5 But know that the Lord will not cast off an innocent man: being mighty in strength of wisdom,
“Mũrungu nĩwe mwene hinya, no ndairaga andũ; we nĩ mwene hinya, na nĩarũmagia muoroto wake.
6 he will not by any means save alive the ungodly: and he will grant the judgment of the poor.
Ndatũũragia arĩa aaganu muoyo, no nĩaheaga arĩa anyariire kĩhooto kĩao.
7 He will not turn away his eyes from the righteous, but [they shall be] with kings on the throne: and he will establish them in triumph, and they shall be exalted.
Ndeheragia maitho make harĩ arĩa athingu; amaikaragĩria gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene hamwe na athamaki, na akamatũũgĩria nginya tene.
8 But they that are bound in fetters shall be holden in cords of poverty.
No rĩrĩ, andũ mangĩkorwo mohetwo na mĩnyororo, makanyiitio na mĩhĩndo ya mĩnyamaro,
9 And he shall recount to them their works, and their transgressions, for such will act with violence.
we nĩameeraga ũrĩa mekĩte, atĩ mehĩtie na ũtũrĩka.
10 But he will listen to the righteous: and he has said that they shall turn from unrighteousness.
We nĩatũmaga mathikĩrĩrie ũtaaro, na akamaatha merire ũũru wao.
11 If they should hear and serve [him], they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in honor.
Mangĩmwathĩkĩra na mamũtungatĩre, megũtũũra matukũ mao marĩa matigaru magaacĩire, na mĩaka yao o maiganĩire.
12 But he preserves not the ungodly; because they are not willing to know the Lord, and because when reproved they were disobedient.
No mangĩaga kũigua, nĩmakaniinwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, na makue matarĩ na ũmenyo.
13 And the hypocrites in heart will array wrath [against themselves]; they will not cry, because he has bound them.
“Arĩa matarĩ na Ngai ngoro-inĩ meiigagĩra marakara; o na rĩrĩa aramooha na mĩnyororo, matikayaga mateithio.
14 Therefore let their soul die in youth, and their life be wounded by messengers [of death].
Makuuaga marĩ ethĩ, magakua hamwe na arũme arĩa maraya ma mahooero-inĩ.
15 Because they afflicted the weak and helpless: and he will vindicate the judgment of the meek.
No arĩa mathĩĩnĩkaga, nĩamakũũraga kuuma thĩĩna-inĩ wao; nĩamaragĩria marĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ.
16 And he has also enticed you out of the mouth of the enemy:
“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 [there is] a deep gulf [and] a rushing stream beneath it, and your table came down full of fatness. Judgment shall not fail from the righteous;
No rĩu-rĩ, ũtitikithĩtio ituĩro rĩrĩa rĩagĩrĩire arĩa aaganu; ituĩro rĩa ciira na kĩhooto nĩcigũkumbatĩte.
18 but there shall be wrath upon the ungodly, by reason of the ungodliness of the bribes which they received for iniquities.
Wĩmenyerere mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ndakanakũheenererie na ũtonga; ndũgetĩkĩrie ihaki inene rĩkũhĩtithie njĩra.
19 Let not [your] mind willingly turn you aside from the petition of the feeble that are in distress.
Ũtonga waku o na kana kĩyo gĩaku kĩnene-rĩ, no ikũnyiitĩrĩre nĩguo ndũgatoonye mĩnyamaro-inĩ?
20 And draw not forth all the mighty [men] by night, so that the people should go up instead of them.
Tiga kwĩrirĩria ũtukũ, nĩguo ũguucũrũrie andũ kuuma kwao mĩciĩ.
21 But take heed lest you do that which is wrong: for of this you has made choice because of poverty.
Wĩmenyerere ndũkeerekere ũũru-inĩ, tondũ ũkuoneka taarĩ guo wendete gũkĩra gũthĩĩnĩka.
22 Behold, the Mighty One shall prevail by his strength: for who is powerful as he is?
“Mũrungu nĩatũgĩrĩtio nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoti wake. Nũũ mũrutani take?
23 And who is he that examines his works? or who can say, he has wrought injustice?
Nũũ ũmwathĩrĩire njĩra ciake, kana akamwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Wee nĩwĩkĩte ũũru’?
24 Remember that his works are great [beyond] those which men have attempted.
Ririkanaga gwĩkĩrĩra wĩra wake, ũrĩa andũ manakumia na rwĩmbo.
25 Every man has seen in himself, how many mortals are wounded.
Andũ othe nĩmawonete; andũ mawĩroragĩra marĩ o kũraya.
26 Behold, the Mighty One is great, and we shall not know [him]: the number of his years is even infinite.
Ĩ Mũrungu ndakĩrĩ mũnene; nĩ mũnene gũkĩra ũmenyi witũ! Mũigana wa mĩaka yake ndũngĩtuĩrĩka.
27 And the drops of rain are numbered by him, and shall be poured out in rain to form a cloud.
“Ambatagia matata ma maaĩ, marĩa macookaga gũtaatĩra tũrũũĩ ta mbura;
28 The ancient [heavens] shall flow, and the clouds overshadow innumerable mortals: he has fixed a time to cattle, and they know the order of rest. [Yet] by all these things your understanding is not astonished, neither is your mind disturbed in [your] body.
matu magaita ũigũ wamo, nayo mbura nyingĩ ĩkoirĩra andũ.
29 And though one should understand the outspreadings of the clouds, [or] the measure of his tabernacle;
Nũũ ũngĩmenya ũrĩa atambũrũkagia matu, kana ũhoro wa marurumĩ marĩa moimaga hema-inĩ yake?
30 behold he will stretch his bow against him, and he covers the bottom of the sea.
Kĩone ũrĩa ahurunjaga rũheni rwake rũkamũthiũrũrũkĩria, agathambia iria kũrĩa kũriku.
31 For by them he will judge the nations: he will give food to him that has strength.
Ũũ nĩguo aathaga ndũrĩrĩ na akaheana irio nyingĩ.
32 He has hidden the light in [his] hands, and given charge concerning it to the interposing [cloud].
Akumbatagĩria rũheni na moko make, na akarwatha rũringe kĩrĩa kĩorotetwo.
33 The Lord will declare concerning this [to] his friend: [but there is] a portion also for unrighteousness.
Marurumĩ make nĩmanagĩrĩra kĩhuhũkanio kĩrĩa kĩroka; o na ngʼombe nĩimenyithanagia atĩ kũrĩ kĩhuhũkanio kĩroka.
