Job 15
1 And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
Nake Elifazu ũrĩa Mũtemaani akĩũria atĩrĩ:
2 ¿ A wise [person] does he answer knowledge of wind so may he fill? east wind belly his.
“Mũndũ mũũgĩ no acookie ũhoro na kwĩgereria, kana aiyũrie nda yake na rũhuho ruumĩte na irathĩro?
3 Does he argue? with a word [which] not it is of use and words [which] not anyone profits by them.
No eciirĩrĩre na ciugo cia tũhũ, kana na mĩario ĩtarĩ bata?
4 Also you you annul fear so you may diminish meditation before God.
No wee-rĩ, nĩũracambia ũhoro wa gwĩtigĩra Ngai, na ũkagirĩrĩria ũhoro wa andũ kwĩrutĩra Mũrungu.
5 For it teaches iniquity your mouth your so you may choose [the] tongue of crafty [people].
Mehia maku nĩmo mataaraga kanua gaku; nawe ũthuurĩte kwaria na rũrĩmĩ rwa mũndũ mwara.
6 It condemns as guilty you own mouth your and not I and own lips your they testify against you.
Kanua gaku wee mwene nĩko karagũtuĩra ciira, ti gakwa: nayo mĩromo yaku wee mwene ĩkaaria ũira wa gũgũũkĩrĩra.
7 ¿ First human being were you born and before [the] hills were you brought forth?
“Wee nĩwe mũndũ wa mbere gũciarwo? Wee-rĩ, waciarirwo mbere ya irĩma igĩe ho?
8 ¿ In [the] council of God do you listen and you may restrain? to yourself wisdom.
Wee nĩũthikagĩrĩria ndundu ya Ngai? Wee wiki-rĩ, nowe ũrigĩtie na ũũgĩ?
9 What? do you know and not we know do you understand? and not [is] with us it.
Nĩ atĩa ũũĩ ithuĩ tũtooĩ? Nĩ ũmenyo ũrĩkũ ũrĩ naguo ithuĩ tũtarĩ?
10 Both [the] gray haired as well as [the] aged [are] among us [those] old more than father your days.
Tũrĩ na athuuri marĩ na mbuĩ na arĩa akũrũ mũno, andũ akũrũ o na gũkĩra thoguo.
11 ¿ [too] little For you [are] [the] consolations of God and a word to gentleness with you.
Ndũiganĩtwo nĩ ũhoorerania wa Mũrungu, o na kana ũhoro ũcio warĩirio na ũhooreri?
12 Why? does it carry away you heart your and why? do they flash! eyes your.
Ngoro yaku ĩgũteete nĩkĩ, na nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma ũikare ũkiunaga maitho,
13 That you will turn against God spirit your and you will bring out from mouth your words.
nĩguo werekerie marakara maku kũrĩ Mũrungu, o na ũgaitũrũra ciugo ta icio kuuma kanua gaku?
14 What? [is] a person that he will be pure and that he will be righteous [one] born of a woman.
“Mũndũ akĩrĩ kĩ, atĩ no ahote gũtuĩka mũtheru, o na mũndũ ũciarĩtwo nĩ mũndũ-wa-nja nake akĩrĩ kĩĩ, atĩ no ahote gũtuĩka mũthingu?
15 There! (in holy [ones] his *Q(K)*) not he trusts and [the] heavens not they are pure in view his.
Angĩkorwo Ngai ndangĩhota kwĩhoka andũ arĩa ake aamũre-rĩ, na kũngĩkorwo o na igũrũ ti gũtheru maitho-inĩ make-rĩ,
16 Indeed? for [one who] is abhorrent and [one who] is corrupt a person [who] drinks like water unrighteousness.
mũndũ akĩrĩ kĩ atĩ amwĩhoke? Mũndũ nĩ mwaganu na nĩ kĩmaramari, anyuuaga waganu ta maaĩ!
17 I will tell you listen to me and what I have seen and I will recount.
“Wee ta thikĩrĩria na nĩngũgũtaarĩria; reke ngwĩre ũrĩa nyonete,
18 [that] which Wise [people] they have told and not they have hidden from ancestors their.
ngwĩre ũrĩa andũ arĩa oogĩ moigĩte, matekũhitha ũndũ o na ũmwe wa ũhoro ũrĩa maaheirwo nĩ maithe mao,
19 To them to alone them it was given the land and not he passed a stranger in midst their.
(o acio oiki maaheetwo bũrũri hĩndĩ ĩrĩa gũtaarĩ mũndũ wa kũngĩ watuĩkanagia gatagatĩ-inĩ kao):
20 All [the] days of a wicked [person] he [is] writhing in pain and [the] number of years [which] they have been stored up for ruthless [person].
Atĩrĩ, mũndũ mwaganu akoragwo na mĩnyamaro matukũ make mothe. Matukũ mothe ma ũcio ũtarĩ tha-rĩ, maigĩirwo o mĩnyamaro.
21 [the] sound of Dread [is] in ears his in peace a destroyer he will come to him.
Aiguaga o mĩgambo ya kũmakania mũno; hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maũndũ mothe moneka ta marĩ mega-rĩ, atunyani makamũtharĩkĩra.
22 Not he believes to return from darkness (and [is] watched *Q(k)*) he to [the] sword.
Ndarĩ na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro gĩa gwĩthara kuuma nduma-inĩ; etereirio kũũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora.
23 [is] wandering He for food where? he knows - that [has been] prepared in hand his a day of darkness.
Orũũraga agĩcaragia irio, oragie atĩrĩ, ‘Irĩ na kũ?’ Aikaraga amenyete atĩ mũthenya wa nduma ũrĩ o hakuhĩ.
24 They terrify him anxiety and distress it overpowers him like a king - ready for battle.
Mĩnyamaro na ruo rwa ngoro nĩcio imũmakagia; imũtooragia taarĩ mũthamaki wĩhaarĩirie kũmũtharĩkĩra,
25 For he has stretched out against God hand his and to [the] Almighty he behaves proudly.
nĩ ũndũ ainainagĩria Mũrungu ngundi, na akangʼathĩria Mwene-Hinya-Wothe,
26 He runs against him with a neck with [the] thickness of [the] bosses of shields his.
akamũguthũkĩra angʼathĩtie, arĩ na ngo yake mata ya hinya.
27 For he has covered face his with fat his and he has made fat on loins.
“O na gũtuĩka ũthiũ wake nĩ mũnoru, na njohero yake ĩkaneneha nĩ kũnora-rĩ,
28 And he dwelt - cities destroyed houses [which] not people will dwell themselves which they are destined for heaps of stones.
agaatũũraga matũũra maanangĩku, na aikarage nyũmba itatũũragwo nĩ mũndũ, nyũmba itigairie o kũmomoka ituĩke ihumbu cia mahiga.
29 Not he will be rich and not it will endure wealth his and not it will stretch out to the land property their.
Ndagacooka gũkorwo arĩ mũtongu, naguo ũtonga wake ndũgatũũra, o na kana indo ciake itheereme kũu bũrũri-inĩ.
30 Not he will depart - from darkness young shoot[s] his it will dry up a flame so he may depart by [the] breath of mouth his.
Ndakahota kũũrĩra nduma; rũrĩrĩmbĩ nĩrũkahoohia thuuna ciake, nayo mĩhũmũ ya kanua ka Ngai nĩĩkamweheria.
31 May not he trust (in worthlessness *Q(K)*) he has been led astray for worthlessness it will be recompense his.
Nĩatige kwĩheenia na ũndũ wa kwĩhoka maũndũ ma tũhũ, nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ kĩndũ makaamũrehere.
32 On not day his it will be completed and palm branch his not it will grow luxuriant.
Ihinda rĩake rĩtanakinya-rĩ, nĩakarĩhio mũigana wake wothe, na honge ciake itikarura.
33 He will wrong like vine unripe grape[s] his and he will shed like olive tree blossom his.
Agaatuĩka ta mũthabibũ ũhũrũrĩtwo thabibũ ciaguo itarĩ njĩru, ahaane ta mũtamaiyũ ũraita kĩro kĩaguo.
34 For a company of [the] godless [is] barren and fire it consumes [the] tents of a bribe.
Nĩgũkorwo andũ a thiritũ ya arĩa matooĩ Ngai matũũraga marĩ thaata, na mwaki nĩũgaacina hema cia arĩa mendete mahaki.
35 They conceive trouble and they give birth to wickedness and belly their it prepares deceit.
Magĩaga nda cia mathĩĩna, na magaciara waganu; nda ciao ithugundaga o maheeni.”
