< Job 11 >

1 And he answered Zophar the Naamathite and he said.
Nake Zofaru ũrĩa Mũnaamathi agĩcookia, akĩũria atĩrĩ:
2 ¿ A multitude of words not will it be answered and or? a man of lips will he be acquitted.
“Ciugo icio ciothe-rĩ, nĩcikwaga gũcookio? Mwaria ũyũ-rĩ, nĩegũgĩtuuo mwagĩrĩru?
3 Empty boasts your men will they silence? and have you mocked? and there not [is one who] puts to shame.
Mwĩraho ũcio waku-rĩ, nĩguo ũgũkiria andũ naguo? No kwage mũndũ ũngĩgũkaania rĩrĩa ũranyũrũrania?
4 And you have said [is] pure teaching my and clean I am in view your.
Wee ũreera Ngai atĩrĩ, ‘Wĩtĩkio wakwa ndũrĩ ũcuuke, o na niĩ ndĩ mũtheru maitho-inĩ maku.’
5 And but who? will he give God to speak and he may open lips his with you.
Naarĩ korwo Ngai no aarie, atumũre mĩromo yake agũũkĩrĩre,
6 And may he tell to you - [the] secrets of wisdom for double [belongs] to sound wisdom and know that he will cause to forget to you God some of iniquity your.
na akũguũrĩrie hitho cia ũũgĩ, nĩ ũndũ ũũgĩ ũrĩa wa ma nĩ wa mĩena ĩĩrĩ. Menya ũndũ ũyũ; atĩ Ngai ndakũherithĩtie kũringana na ũrĩa mehia maku maigana.
7 ¿ [the] searching of God will you find or? to [the] end of [the] Almighty will you find.
“Wee no ũhote kũmenya maũndũ marĩa mahithe ma Ngai? Kana no ũhote gũtuĩria kũna maũndũ ma Mwene-Hinya-Wothe?
8 [the] heights of [the] heavens What? will you do deep more than Sheol what? will you know. (Sheol h7585)
Maũndũ make nĩmatũũgĩru gũkĩra igũrũ, wee nĩ atĩa ũngĩka? Nĩ mariku gũkĩra ũriku wa mbĩrĩra, wee nĩ atĩa ũngĩmenya? (Sheol h7585)
9 [is] long More than [the] earth measure its and broad more than [the] sea.
Gĩthimo kĩamo nĩ kĩraihu gũkĩra thĩ na nĩ kĩaramu gũkĩra iria rĩrĩa inene.
10 If he will pass by and he may shut up so he may summon an assembly and who? will he turn back him.
“Angĩũka agũikie njeera-rĩ, acooke etane ciira-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩmũgiria?
11 For he he knows men of falsehood and he has seen wickedness and not he shows himself attentive.
Ti-itherũ nĩoĩ andũ arĩa maheenanagia; na rĩrĩa oona ũndũ mũũru-rĩ, githĩ ndaũmenyaga?
12 And a person hollow he will become intelligent and a male donkey of a wild donkey a human being it will be born.
No rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũtarĩ ũũgĩ ndangĩtuĩka mũũgĩ o na rĩ, o ta ũrĩa njaũ ya ndigiri ya gĩthaka ĩtarĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩciarwo ĩrĩ mũndũ.
13 If you you have directed heart your and you will spread out to him palms your.
“No rĩrĩ, ũngĩneana ngoro yaku kũrĩ Ngai, na ũtambũrũkie moko maku kũrĩ we,
14 If wickedness [is] in hand your put far away it and may not you cause to dwell in tents your injustice.
ũngĩeheria mehia marĩa marĩ guoko-inĩ gwaku, na ũgirie ũũru ũikare thĩinĩ wa hema yaku-rĩ,
15 For then - you will lift up face your from blemish and you will be firmly established and not you will fear.
hĩndĩ ĩyo no ũhote gũtiira ũthiũ waku na igũrũ ũtegũconoka; no ũrũgame wega ũtarĩ na guoya.
16 For you trouble you will forget like waters [which] they have passed away you will remember [it].
Ti-itherũ nĩũkariganĩrwo nĩ mathĩĩna maku, ũmaririkanage o ta maaĩ marĩkĩtie gũtherera.
17 And more than noon it will rise lifespan it will be dark like the morning it will become.
Mũtũũrĩre waku nĩũgacangarara gũkĩra mũthenya barigici, nayo nduma ĩgaatuĩka o ta rũciinĩ.
18 And you will be secure for there [is] hope and you will be well protected to security you will lie down.
Ũgũtũũra ũrĩ na mwĩhoko tondũ ũrĩ na ũgitĩri, ũkehũgũraga harĩa ũrĩ, na ũkahurũka ũtarĩ na ũgwati.
19 And you will lie down and there not [will be one who] disturbs and they will entreat face your many [people].
Nĩũgakomaga, gũtarĩ na mũndũ ũngĩtũma wĩtigĩre, nao andũ aingĩ nĩmakeyendithagia harĩ we.
20 And [the] eyes of wicked [people] they will fail and a place of escape it will be lost from them and hope their [will be] a gasp of life.
No rĩrĩ, maitho ma andũ arĩa aaganu nĩmakaaga kuona, na matikoona gwa kũũrĩra; naguo ũndũ ũrĩa meriragĩria ũgaatuĩka mũcaayo wa gĩkuũ.”
