Job 23
1 and to answer Job and to say
Kisha Ayubu akajibu na kusema,
2 also [the] day rebellion complaint my hand my to honor: heavy upon sighing my
“Hata leo malalamiko yangu ni machungu; maumivu yangu ni mazito kuliko manung'uniko yangu.
3 who? to give: if only! to know and to find him to come (in): come till place his
Ee, ningejua niwezapokumwona! Ee, kwamba ningeweza kwenda alipo!
4 to arrange to/for face: before his justice and lip my to fill argument
Ningeweka shitaka langu mbele yake na kukijaza kinywa changu hoja.
5 to know speech to answer me and to understand what? to say to/for me
Ningejua ambavyo angenijibu na kufahamu ambavyo angesema juu yangu.
6 in/on/with abundance strength to contend with me me not surely he/she/it to set: consider in/on/with me
Je angehojiana nami katika ukuu wa nguvu zake? Hapana, angenisikiliza.
7 there upright to rebuke with him and to escape to/for perpetuity from to judge me
Pale mwenye haki angehojiana nami. Kwa njia hii ningeonekana bila hatia kwa mwamzi wangu.
8 look! front: forward to go: went and nothing he and back and not to understand to/for him
Tazama, naelekea mashariki, lakini hayupo pale, na upande wa magharibi, lakini siwezi kumwona.
9 left in/on/with to make: do he and not to see to turn aside right and not to see: see
Kaskazini, anapofanya kazi, lakini siwezi kumwona, na kusini, anapojificha hata nisimwone.
10 for to know way: conduct with me me to test me like/as gold to come out: come
Lakini anaijua njia ninayoichukua; atakapokuwa amenipima, nitatoka kama dhahabu.
11 in/on/with step his to grasp foot my way: conduct his to keep: obey and not to stretch
Mguu wangu umeunganishwa na hatua zake; nimezitunza njia zake na sijageuka.
12 commandment lips his and not to remove from statute: portion my to treasure word lip his
Sijaiacha amri ya midomo yake; nimeyatii maneno ya kinywa chake.
13 and he/she/it in/on/with one and who? to return: turn back him and soul: myself his to desire and to make: do
Lakini yeye ni wa pekee, naniawezaye kumgeuza? Analolitaka, hulitenda.
14 for to complete statute: portion my and like/as them many with him
Kwa maana hulitimiza agizo lake kinyume changu; anamipango mingi kwa ajili yangu; ipo mingi kama hiyo.
15 upon so from face his to dismay to understand and to dread from him
Kwa hiyo, nimetishwa mbele zake; ninapofikiri kumhusu, ninamwogopa.
16 and God be tender heart my and Almighty to dismay me
Kwani Mungu ameudhoofisha moyo wangu; Mwenyezi amenitisha.
17 for not to destroy from face: before darkness and from face my to cover darkness
Si kwa sababu nimeondolewa na giza, wala siyo kwamba giza nene limeufunika uso wangu.
