Job 11
1 Forsothe Sophar Naamathites answeride, and seide,
Ndipo Sofari Mnaamathi alijibu na kusema,
2 Whether he, that spekith many thingis, schal not also here? ether whethir a man ful of wordis schal be maad iust?
“Huo wingi wa maneno haupaswi kujibiwa? Mtu huyu, aliyejaa maneno mengi awe wa kuaminiwa?
3 Schulen men be stille to thee aloone? whanne thou hast scorned othere men, schalt thou not be ouercomun of ony man?
Kujivuna kwako kunapaswa kuwafanya wengine wabaki wamenyamaza? Wakati unapoyadhihaki mafundisho yetu, hakuna awaye yote atakayekufanya wewe ujisikie mwenye aibu?
4 For thou seidist, My word is cleene, and Y am cleene in thi siyt.
Kwa kuwa wewe unasema kwa Mungu, 'Imani yangu ni safi, Mimi sina waa lolote machoni pako.'
5 And `Y wolde, that God spak with thee, and openyde hise lippis to thee;
Lakini, laiti, Mungu huyo angesema na kufungua midomo yake dhidi yako;
6 to schewe to thee the priuetees of wisdom, and that his lawe is manyfold, and thou schuldist vndurstonde, that thou art requirid of hym to paie myche lesse thingis, than thi wickidnesse disserueth.
hivyo angekuonyesha wewe siri za hekima! Kwa kuwa yeye ni mkuu katika ufahamu. Tena tambua huyo Mungu anataka kutoka kwako kidogo kuliko uovu wako unavyostahili.
7 In hap thou schalt comprehende the steppis of God, and thou schalt fynde Almyyti God `til to perfeccioun.
Je, wewe unaweza kumfahamu Mungu kwa kumtafuta yeye? Unaweza kumtambua aliye mkuu kwa ukamilifu?
8 He is hiyere than heuene, and what schalt thou do? he is deppere than helle, and wherof schalt thou knowe? (Sheol h7585)
Upeo uko juu kama mbingu; unaweza kufanya nini wewe? Ni wenye kina kirefu kuliko kuzimu; waweza kufahamu nini wewe? (Sheol h7585)
9 His mesure is lengere than erthe, and brodere than the see.
Vipimo vyake ni virefu kuliko nchi, na vipana kuliko bahari.
10 If he distrieth alle thingis, ethir dryueth streitli `in to oon, who schal ayenseie hym? Ethir who may seie to hym, Whi doest thou so?
kama yeye akipita kati na kumyamazisha mtu yeyote, kama yeye akimwita mtu yeyote hukumuni, tena ni nani anayeweza kumzuia yeye?
11 For he knowith the vanyte of men; and whether he seynge byholdith not wickidnesse?
Kwa maana anawajua watu waongo; wakati anapoona uovu, hawezi yeye kuukumbuka?
12 A veyn man is reisid in to pride; and gessith hym silf borun fre, as the colt of a wilde asse.
Lakini watu wapumbavu hawana ufahamu; wataupata wakati punda mwitu atakapozaa mtu.
13 But thou hast maad stidefast thin herte, and hast spred abrood thin hondis to hym.
Lakini ikiwa umeuelekeza moyo wako kwa haki na umeunyosha mkono wako karibu na Mungu;
14 If thou doest awei `fro thee the wickidnesse, which is in thin hond, and vnriytfulnesse dwellith not in thi tabernacle,
ikiwa huo uovu ulikuwa katika mikono yako, lakini hivyo tena unauweka mbali nawe, na haukuruhusu kutokuwa mwenye haki kukaa hemani mwako.
15 thanne thou schalt mowe reise thi face with out wem, and thou schalt be stidefast, and thou schalt not drede.
Ndipo kwa hakika ungeinua juu uso wako bila ishara ya aibu; Ni dhahiri, ungethibitika na usingeogopa.
16 And thou schalt foryete wretchidnesse, and thou schalt not thenke of it, as of watris that han passid.
Wewe ungesahau mateso yako; ungeyakumbuka hayo tu kama maji ambayo yametiririka mbali.
17 And as myddai schynynge it schal reise to thee at euentid; and whanne thou gessist thee wastid, thou schalt rise vp as the dai sterre.
Maisha yako yangekuwa angavu kuliko adhuhuri; japokuwa kulikuwa na giza, litakuwa kama asubuhi.
18 And thou schalt haue trist, while hope schal be set forth to thee; and thou biried schalt slepe sikurli.
Ungekuwa salama kwa sababu kuna tumaini; ni dhahiri, wewe utapata usalama juu yako na utachukua pumziko lako katika usalama.
19 Thou schalt reste, and `noon schal be that schal make thee aferd; and ful many men schulen biseche thi face.
Pia ungelala chini katika pumziko, na hakuna ambaye angekufanya wewe uogope; hakika wengi wangetafuta upendeleo wako.
20 But the iyen of wickid men schulen faile; and socour schal perische fro hem, and the hope of hem schal be abhominacyioun of soule.
Lakini macho ya watu waovu yatashindwa; hawatakuwa na njia ya kukimbia; tumaini lao la pekee litakuwa pumzi yao ya mwisho ya uhai.
