Job 21
1 And he answered Job and he said.
Ningĩ Ayubu agĩcookia atĩrĩ:
2 Listen completely [to] speech my and let it be this consolations your.
“Thikĩrĩriai wega ciugo ciakwa; rekei ũndũ ũyũ ũtuĩke nĩguo mũkũũhooreria naguo.
3 Bear with me and I I will speak and after have spoken I you will mock.
Ngirĩrĩriai na niĩ njarie, na ndaarĩkia kwaria-rĩ, mũgĩcooke mũũnyũrũrie.
4 ¿ I to humankind [is] complaint my and if why? not will it be short spirit my.
“Niĩ-rĩ, kaĩ mateta makwa meerekeirio mũndũ? Ngũkĩaga kũremwo nĩ gũkirĩrĩria nĩkĩ?
5 Turn to me and be appalled and put a hand over a mouth.
Ta ndorai mũgege; mwĩnyiite tũnua twanyu na moko nĩ kũmaka.
6 And if I remember [this] and I am disturbed and it takes hold of flesh my shuddering.
Ndĩciiragia ũhoro ũyũ ngamaka mũno; ngethithimũkwo nĩ mwĩrĩ, ngambĩrĩria kũinaina.
7 Why? wicked [people] do they live they grow old also do they become strong? strength.
Atĩrĩ, andũ arĩa aaganu marekagwo matũũre muoyo nĩkĩ, magakũra o na magakĩrĩrĩria kũgĩa na ũhoti?
8 Offspring their [is] established before them with them and descendants their to eyes their.
Nĩmeonagĩra ciana ciao ikĩgaacĩra kũu marĩ, makoona rũciaro rwao rũkĩĩhaanda mbere ya maitho mao.
9 Houses their [are] safety from fear and not [the] rod of God [is] on them.
Mĩciĩ yao ĩikaraga ĩgitĩirwo na ĩtarĩ na guoya; naruo rũthanju rwa Ngai rũtimahũũraga.
10 Bull his it impregnates and not it fails it calves cow his and not it miscarries.
Ndegwa ciao itiagaga kũgwatia; ngʼombe ciao iciaraga, na itihunaga.
11 They send forth like flock young boys their and children their they leap about!
Moimagaragia twana twao tũingĩ o ta rũũru; ciana icio ciao ikaina igĩtũrũhaga.
12 They lift according to tambourine and harp so they may rejoice to [the] sound of a flute.
Nao o ene mainaga makĩhũũraga tũhembe na inanda cia mũgeeto; mekenagia na mũgambo wa mũtũrirũ.
Matũũraga mĩaka yao magaacĩire, na magathiĩ mbĩrĩra-inĩ marĩ na thayũ. (Sheol h7585)
14 And they have said to God depart from us and knowledge of ways your not we desire.
Na no-o meeraga Mũrungu atĩrĩ, ‘Thiĩ! Tigana na ithuĩ! Tũtikwenda kũmenya njĩra ciaku.
15 What? [is the] Almighty that we will serve him and what? will we gain that we will entreat him.
Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩwe ũ, atĩ nĩguo tũmũtungatagĩre? Tũkũgunĩka nakĩ tũngĩmũhooya?’
16 There! not [is] in own hand their prosperity their [the] counsel of wicked [people] it is far from me.
No rĩrĩ, kũgaacĩra kwao gũtirĩ moko-inĩ mao ene, nĩ ũndũ ũcio niĩ njikaraga haraaya na kĩrĩra kĩa andũ arĩa aaganu.
17 How often? - [the] lamp of wicked [people] is it extinguished and it may come? on them calamity their pain does he apportion? in anger his.
“Na rĩrĩ, nĩ maita maigana tawa wa arĩa aaganu ũhoragio? Nĩ maita maigana makoragwo nĩ mũtino, na nĩ maita maigana Ngai amagayagĩra ruo nĩ kũmarakarĩra?
18 Are they? like straw before a wind and like chaff [which] it has stolen it a storm-wind.
Nĩ maita maigana matuĩkaga ta nyeki nyũmũ ĩkũhurutwo nĩ rũhuho, o na kana ta maragara marĩa mombũragwo nĩ kĩhuhũkanio?
19 God he stores up for children his wickedness his let him repay to him so he may know.
Kuugagwo atĩrĩ, ‘Ngai aigagĩra ciana iherithia rĩa ithe wao.’ No rĩrĩ, nĩ kaba Ngai aherithie mũndũ ũcio we mwene, nĩguo amenye nĩehĩtie!
20 Let them see (own eyes his *Q(K)*) destruction his and from [the] rage of [the] Almighty let him drink.
Maitho make nĩmeyonere mwanangĩko wake mwene; nĩarekwo akunde mangʼũrĩ ma Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.
21 For what? [is] pleasure his in household his after him and [the] number of months his they have been cut off.
Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, anga no eetangaga ha ũhoro wa andũ ake arĩa agaatiga na thuutha, matukũ make maathira?
22 ¿ To God will anyone teach knowledge and he exalted [ones] he judges.
“Nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe ũngĩhota kũruta Mũrungu atĩ nĩguo agĩe na ũmenyo, kuona atĩ Mũrungu nĩwe ũtuanagĩra ciira, o na agatuĩra arĩa atũũgĩirie mũno?
23 This [one] he will die with limb[s] of completeness his all of him [is] at ease and at ease.
Nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ ũkuuaga arĩ na hinya wake wothe, arĩ mũgitĩre wega biũ, na arĩ na thayũ,
24 Pails his they are full milk and [the] marrow of bones his it is watered.
mwĩrĩ wake ũheetwo irio wega, na mahĩndĩ ma mĩthiimo yake marĩ o maigũ.
25 And this [one] he will die with a soul bitter and not he has eaten in the good.
Mũndũ ũngĩ agakua arĩ na marũrũ ma ngoro, atarĩ aakenera kĩndũ kĩega o na kĩ.
26 Together on dust they will lie and a maggot it will cover over them.
Makomaga o ro ũndũ ũmwe tĩĩri-inĩ, na eerĩ-rĩ, igunyũ ikamahumbĩra.
27 Here! I know thoughts your and [the] schemes on me you do violence.
“Niĩ nĩnjũũĩ wega ũrĩa mũreciiria, ngamenya mathugunda manyu maakũhĩtĩria namo.
28 For you say where? [is the] house of a noble [person] and where? [is the] tent of - [the] dwelling places of wicked [people].
Mũrooria atĩrĩ, ‘Rĩu nyũmba ya mũndũ ũrĩa mũnene ĩkĩrĩ ha, na hema ĩrĩa andũ aaganu maratũũraga-rĩ, ĩkĩrĩ ha?’
29 ¿ Not have you asked [those who] pass by of [the] road and signs their not do you recognize?
Kaĩ mũtarĩ muoria andũ arĩa mathiiaga ngʼendo? Kaĩ mũtarũmbũyagia ũrĩa mamwĩraga:
30 That to a day of calamity he is spared an evil [person] to a day of furi they are brought forth.
atĩ mũndũ ũrĩa mwaganu nĩ aiguagĩrwo tha mũthenya wa mũtino, atĩ nĩahonokagio mũthenya wa mangʼũrĩ?
31 Who? will he tell on face his way his and [that which] he he has done who? will he repay to him.
Nũũ ũreganaga na mĩtugo ya mũndũ mwaganu maitho-inĩ make? Nũũ ũmũrĩhagia kũringana na maũndũ marĩa aaneka?
32 And he to [the] grave he will be borne and over a tomb someone will keep watch.
Atwaragwo mbĩrĩra-inĩ, nayo mbĩrĩra yake ĩkarangagĩrwo.
33 They will be sweet to him [the] clods of [the] wadi and after him every person he will follow and before him there not [is] number.
Tĩĩri wa gĩtuamba nĩũrĩ mũrĩo harĩ we; andũ othe nĩwe marũmagĩrĩra, na kĩrĩndĩ gĩtangĩtarĩka gĩgathiiaga mbere yake.
34 And how? will you comfort me vanity and answers your it remains unfaithfulness.
“Mwakĩhota atĩa kũũhooreria na ndeto cia tũhũ? Hatirĩ kĩndũ gĩtigaru harĩ macookio manyu tiga o maheeni!”
