< Job 12 >

1 Sotheli Joob answeride, and seide,
Ningĩ Ayubu agĩcookia atĩrĩ:
2 Therfor ben ye men aloone, that wisdom dwelle with you?
“Hatirĩ nganja inyuĩ nĩ inyuĩ andũ, naguo ũũgĩ ũgaathiranĩra na inyuĩ rĩrĩa mũgaakua!
3 And to me is an herte, as and to you, and Y am not lowere than ye; for who knowith not these thingis, whiche ye knowen?
No rĩrĩ, ndĩ na ũmenyo o ta inyuĩ; mũtirĩ oogĩ kũngĩra. Nũũ ũtooĩ maũndũ macio mothe?
4 He that is scorned of his frend, as Y am, schal inwardli clepe God, and God schal here hym; for the symplenesse of a iust man is scorned.
“Nduĩkĩte mũndũ wa gũthekererwo nĩ arata akwa, o na gũtuĩka nĩndakaĩire Ngai nake akĩnjigua: niĩ nduĩkĩte mũndũ wa gũthekererwo, o na gũtuĩka ndĩ mũthingu na ndirĩ ũcuuke!
5 A laumpe is dispisid at the thouytis of riche men, and the laumpe is maad redi to a tyme ordeyned.
Andũ arĩa maikaraga megangarĩte manyũrũragia mũtino, makona ta ũndũ ũcio ũkoraga o andũ arĩa magũrũ mao matenderũkaga.
6 The tabernaclis of robberis ben plenteuouse, `ether ful of goodis; and boldli thei terren God to wraththe, whanne he hath youe alle thingis in to her hondis.
Hema cia atunyani nĩcio ciikaraga igaacĩire, na andũ arĩa marakaragia Mũrungu nĩo maikaraga na thayũ, o acio makuuaga ngai yao na moko.
7 No wondur, ax thou beestis, and tho schulen teche thee; and axe thou volatilis of the eir, and tho schulen schewe to thee.
“No ta kĩũrie nyamũ, na nĩigũkũruta ũhoro, kana ũrie nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ, na nĩigũkwĩra;
8 Speke thou to the erthe, and it schal answere thee; and the fischis of the see schulen telle tho thingis.
kana warĩrie thĩ, na nĩĩgũkũruta ũhoro, kana ũkĩarĩrie thamaki cia iria-inĩ, nacio nĩigũkũhe ũhoro.
9 Who knowith not that the hond of the Lord made alle these thingis?
Nĩ irĩkũ cia icio ciothe itooĩ atĩ nĩ guoko kwa Jehova gwĩkĩte ũndũ ũyũ?
10 In whos hond the soule is of ech lyuynge thing, and the spirit, `that is, resonable soule, of ech fleisch of man.
Mĩoyo ya ciũmbe ciothe ĩrĩ guoko-inĩ gwake, o na mĩhũmũ ya andũ othe.
11 Whether the eere demeth not wordis, and the chekis of the etere demen sauour?
Githĩ gũtũ gũtithuuranagia ciugo o ta ũrĩa rũrĩmĩ rũcamaga irio?
12 Wisdom is in elde men, and prudence is in myche tyme.
Githĩ ũũgĩ ndũkoragwo na andũ arĩa akũrũ? Githĩ gũtũũra mũno gũtirehaga ũmenyo?
13 Wisdom and strengthe is at God; he hath counsel and vndurstondyng.
“Ũũgĩ na hinya nĩ cia Ngai; mataaro na ũmenyo nĩ ciake.
14 If he distrieth, no man is that bildith; if he schittith in a man, `noon is that openith.
Kĩrĩa amomoraga gĩtingĩakwo rĩngĩ; mũndũ ũrĩa aahingĩra njeera gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩmuohora.
15 If he holdith togidere watris, alle thingis schulen be maad drie; if he sendith out tho watris, tho schulen distrie the erthe.
Ahingagĩrĩria maaĩ, gũkaaga mbura; ningĩ aamarekereria makaananga bũrũri.
16 Strengthe and wisdom is at God; he knowith bothe hym that disseyueth and hym that is disseyued.
Hinya na ũtooria nĩ ciake; mũheenio na mũheenania eerĩ no ake.
17 And he bryngith conselours in to a fonned eende, and iugis in to wondryng, ethir astonying.
Aheani kĩrĩra amatongoragia matarĩ nguo, na agatua aciirithania irimũ.
18 He vnbindith the girdil of kyngis, and girdith her reynes with a coorde.
Nĩohoraga mĩnyororo ĩrĩa athamaki moohaga andũ nayo, akamooha mũcibi njohero.
19 He ledith her prestis with out glorie, and he disseyueth the principal men, `ethir counselours;
Athĩnjĩri-Ngai amatongoragia marutĩtwo nguo, na akangʼaũrania andũ arĩa mehaandire tene.
20 and he chaungith the lippis of sothefast men, and takith awei the doctrine of elde men.
Nĩakiragia mĩromo ya aheani kĩrĩra arĩa meehoketwo, nao athuuri akamatunya ũhoro wa gũkũũrana maũndũ.
21 He schedith out dispisyng on princes, and releeueth hem, that weren oppressid.
We nĩagagĩra arĩa atĩĩku bata, nao arĩa marĩ na hinya nĩamatunyaga indo ciao cia mbaara.
22 Which schewith depe thingis fro derknessis; and bryngith forth in to liyt the schadewe of deeth.
Nĩaguũragia maũndũ marĩa mariku ma nduma, na nduma nene ya gĩkuũ akamiumĩria ũtheri-inĩ.
23 Which multiplieth folkis, and leesith hem, and restorith hem destried in to the hool.
Anenehagia ndũrĩrĩ, agacooka agaciananga; aingĩhagia ndũrĩrĩ, agacooka agacihurunja.
24 Which chaungith the herte of princes of the puple of erthe; and disseyueth hem, that thei go in veyn out of the weie.
Nĩagaagagia meciiria ma atongoria a gũkũ thĩ; akamaingata, morũũrage werũ-inĩ mũtheri ũtarĩ njĩra.
25 Thei schulen grope, as in derknessis, and not in liyt; and he schal make hem to erre as drunken men.
Mahambaataga nduma-inĩ kũrĩa gũtarĩ ũtheri; ningĩ atũmaga matũgũũge ta mũndũ mũrĩĩu.
