Job 26
1 Then Job answered and said,
Ningĩ Ayubu agĩcookia atĩrĩ:
2 “How you have helped one who has no power! How you have saved the arm that has no strength!
“Kaĩ ũrĩ gũteithia ũrĩa ũtarĩ na ũhoti-ĩ! Kaĩ ũrĩ kũhonokia guoko kũrĩa gũtarĩ na hinya-ĩ!
3 How you have advised one who has no wisdom and announced to him sound knowledge!
Kaĩ ũrĩ gũtaara mũndũ ũtarĩ na ũũgĩ-ĩ! Na atĩrĩ, kaĩ nĩwonanĩtie ũmenyo mũnene-ĩ!
4 With whose help have you spoken these words? Whose spirit was it that came out from you?
Nũũ wagũteithia kwaria ciugo icio? Na nĩ roho waũ waria na kanua gaku?
5 The dead are made to tremble, those who are beneath the waters and all who dwell in them.
“Arĩa akuũ marĩ na ruo rũnene, o acio marĩ rungu rwa maaĩ na kĩrĩa gĩothe gĩtũũraga kuo.
Gĩkuũ nĩkĩguũranie mbere ya Ngai; mwanangĩko ũikarĩte ũtarĩ mũhumbĩre. (Sheol h7585)
7 He stretches out the northern skies over the empty space, and he hangs the earth over nothing.
Atambũrũkagia matu ma mwena wa gathigathini igũrũ rĩa kũndũ gũtarĩ kĩndũ; nayo thĩ ndarĩ kĩndũ amĩcunjurĩtie nakĩo.
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, but the clouds are not torn under them.
Athayaga maaĩ thĩinĩ wa matu make, no matu macio matingĩtembũrwo nĩ ũritũ wamo.
9 He covers the surface of the moon and spreads his clouds on it.
Ahumbagĩra ũthiũ wa mweri rĩrĩa waiganana, agatambũrũkia matu make igũrũ rĩaguo.
10 He has engraved a circular boundary on the surface of the waters as the line between light and darkness.
Nĩekĩrĩte rũkiriri igũrũ rĩa maaĩ, rũkahakania ũtheri na nduma.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
Itugĩ iria itiirĩrĩire igũrũ nĩ ithingithaga, ikagegearaga nĩ ũndũ wa ikũũmana rĩake.
12 He calmed the sea with his power; by his understanding he shattered Rahab.
Nĩoirugire maaĩ ma iria na ũndũ wa hinya wake; na nĩ ũndũ wa ũũgĩ wake nĩatinaangirie Rahabu tũcunjĩ.
13 By his breath he made the skies clear; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
Mĩhũmũ yake nĩyo yathakaririe igũrũ; guoko gwake nĩ gwatheecire nyoka ĩrĩa ĩnyororokaga na ihenya.
14 See, these are but the fringes of his ways; how small a whisper do we hear of him! Who can understand the thunder of his power?”
Atĩrĩrĩ, ĩno no mĩthia ya mawĩra make; kaĩ no kamũheehũ kanini tũiguaga ka ũhoro wake-ĩ! Nũũ ũngĩgĩtaũkĩrwo nĩ marurumĩ ma ũhoti wake?”
