< Job 21 >

1 Forsothe Joob answeride, and seide,
Ningĩ Ayubu agĩcookia atĩrĩ:
2 Y preye, here ye my wordis, and do ye penaunce.
“Thikĩrĩriai wega ciugo ciakwa; rekei ũndũ ũyũ ũtuĩke nĩguo mũkũũhooreria naguo.
3 Suffre ye me, that Y speke; and leiye ye aftir my wordis, if it schal seme worthi.
Ngirĩrĩriai na niĩ njarie, na ndaarĩkia kwaria-rĩ, mũgĩcooke mũũnyũrũrie.
4 Whether my disputyng is ayens man, that skilfuli Y owe not to be sori?
“Niĩ-rĩ, kaĩ mateta makwa meerekeirio mũndũ? Ngũkĩaga kũremwo nĩ gũkirĩrĩria nĩkĩ?
5 Perseyue ye me, and be ye astonyed; and sette ye fyngur on youre mouth.
Ta ndorai mũgege; mwĩnyiite tũnua twanyu na moko nĩ kũmaka.
6 And whanne Y bithenke, Y drede, and tremblyng schakith my fleisch.
Ndĩciiragia ũhoro ũyũ ngamaka mũno; ngethithimũkwo nĩ mwĩrĩ, ngambĩrĩria kũinaina.
7 Whi therfor lyuen wickid men? Thei ben enhaunsid, and coumfortid with richessis.
Atĩrĩ, andũ arĩa aaganu marekagwo matũũre muoyo nĩkĩ, magakũra o na magakĩrĩrĩria kũgĩa na ũhoti?
8 Her seed dwellith bifor hem; the cumpeny of kynesmen, and of sones of sones dwellith in her siyt.
Nĩmeonagĩra ciana ciao ikĩgaacĩra kũu marĩ, makoona rũciaro rwao rũkĩĩhaanda mbere ya maitho mao.
9 Her housis ben sikur, and pesible; and the yerde of God is not on hem.
Mĩciĩ yao ĩikaraga ĩgitĩirwo na ĩtarĩ na guoya; naruo rũthanju rwa Ngai rũtimahũũraga.
10 The cow of hem conseyuede, and caluede not a deed calf; the cow caluyde, and is not priued of hir calf.
Ndegwa ciao itiagaga kũgwatia; ngʼombe ciao iciaraga, na itihunaga.
11 Her litle children goen out as flockis; and her yonge children `maken fulli ioye with pleies.
Moimagaragia twana twao tũingĩ o ta rũũru; ciana icio ciao ikaina igĩtũrũhaga.
12 Thei holden tympan, and harpe; and ioien at the soun of orgun.
Nao o ene mainaga makĩhũũraga tũhembe na inanda cia mũgeeto; mekenagia na mũgambo wa mũtũrirũ.
13 Thei leden in goodis her daies; and in a point thei goen doun to hellis. (Sheol h7585)
Matũũraga mĩaka yao magaacĩire, na magathiĩ mbĩrĩra-inĩ marĩ na thayũ. (Sheol h7585)
14 Whiche men seiden to God, Go thou awei fro us; we nylen the kunnyng of thi weies.
Na no-o meeraga Mũrungu atĩrĩ, ‘Thiĩ! Tigana na ithuĩ! Tũtikwenda kũmenya njĩra ciaku.
15 Who is Almiyti God, that we serue him? and what profitith it to vs, if we preien him?
Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩwe ũ, atĩ nĩguo tũmũtungatagĩre? Tũkũgunĩka nakĩ tũngĩmũhooya?’
16 Netheles for her goodis ben not in her hond, `that is, power, the counsel of wickid men be fer fro me.
No rĩrĩ, kũgaacĩra kwao gũtirĩ moko-inĩ mao ene, nĩ ũndũ ũcio niĩ njikaraga haraaya na kĩrĩra kĩa andũ arĩa aaganu.
17 Hou ofte schal the lanterne of wickid men be quenchid, and flowing schal come on hem, and God schal departe the sorewis of his stronge veniaunce?
“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 Thei schulen be as chaffis bifor the face of the wynd; and as a deed sparcle, whiche the whirlewynd scaterith abrood.
Nĩ maita maigana matuĩkaga ta nyeki nyũmũ ĩkũhurutwo nĩ rũhuho, o na kana ta maragara marĩa mombũragwo nĩ kĩhuhũkanio?
19 God schal kepe the sorewe of the fadir to hise sones; and whanne he hath yoldun, thanne he schal wite.
Kuugagwo atĩrĩ, ‘Ngai aigagĩra ciana iherithia rĩa ithe wao.’ No rĩrĩ, nĩ kaba Ngai aherithie mũndũ ũcio we mwene, nĩguo amenye nĩehĩtie!
20 Hise iyen schulen se her sleyng; and he schal drynke of the stronge veniaunce of Almyyti God.
Maitho make nĩmeyonere mwanangĩko wake mwene; nĩarekwo akunde mangʼũrĩ ma Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.
21 For whi what perteyneth it to hym of his hows aftir hym, thouy the noumbre of his monethis be half takun awey?
Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, anga no eetangaga ha ũhoro wa andũ ake arĩa agaatiga na thuutha, matukũ make maathira?
22 Whether ony man schal teche God kunnyng, which demeth hem that ben hiye?
“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 yuel man dieth strong and hool, riche and blesful, `that is, myrie.
Nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ ũkuuaga arĩ na hinya wake wothe, arĩ mũgitĩre wega biũ, na arĩ na thayũ,
24 Hise entrails ben ful of fatnesse; and hise boonys ben moistid with merowis.
mwĩrĩ wake ũheetwo irio wega, na mahĩndĩ ma mĩthiimo yake marĩ o maigũ.
25 Sotheli anothir wickid man dieth in the bittirnesse of his soule, and with outen ony richessis.
Mũndũ ũngĩ agakua arĩ na marũrũ ma ngoro, atarĩ aakenera kĩndũ kĩega o na kĩ.
26 And netheles thei schulen slepe togidere in dust, and wormes schulen hile hem.
Makomaga o ro ũndũ ũmwe tĩĩri-inĩ, na eerĩ-rĩ, igunyũ ikamahumbĩra.
27 Certis Y knowe youre wickid thouytis, and sentensis ayens me.
“Niĩ nĩnjũũĩ wega ũrĩa mũreciiria, ngamenya mathugunda manyu maakũhĩtĩria namo.
28 For ye seien, Where is the hows of the prince? and where ben the tabernaclis of wickid men?
Mũrooria atĩrĩ, ‘Rĩu nyũmba ya mũndũ ũrĩa mũnene ĩkĩrĩ ha, na hema ĩrĩa andũ aaganu maratũũraga-rĩ, ĩkĩrĩ ha?’
29 Axe ye ech of `the weie goeris; and ye schulen knowe, that he vndurstondith these same thingis,
Kaĩ mũtarĩ muoria andũ arĩa mathiiaga ngʼendo? Kaĩ mũtarũmbũyagia ũrĩa mamwĩraga:
30 that an yuel man schal be kept in to the dai of perdicioun, and schal be led to the dai of woodnesse.
atĩ mũndũ ũrĩa mwaganu nĩ aiguagĩrwo tha mũthenya wa mũtino, atĩ nĩahonokagio mũthenya wa mangʼũrĩ?
31 Who schal repreue hise weies bifor hym? and who schal yelde to hym tho thingis, whiche he hath doon?
Nũũ ũreganaga na mĩtugo ya mũndũ mwaganu maitho-inĩ make? Nũũ ũmũrĩhagia kũringana na maũndũ marĩa aaneka?
32 He schal be led to the sepulcris; and he schal wake in the heep of deed men.
Atwaragwo mbĩrĩra-inĩ, nayo mbĩrĩra yake ĩkarangagĩrwo.
33 He was swete to the `stoonys, ether filthis, of helle; and drawith ech man aftir hym, and vnnoumbrable men bifor him.
Tĩĩri wa gĩtuamba nĩũrĩ mũrĩo harĩ we; andũ othe nĩwe marũmagĩrĩra, na kĩrĩndĩ gĩtangĩtarĩka gĩgathiiaga mbere yake.
34 Hou therfor coumforten ye me in veyn, sithen youre answeris ben schewid to `repugne to treuthe?
“Mwakĩhota atĩa kũũhooreria na ndeto cia tũhũ? Hatirĩ kĩndũ gĩtigaru harĩ macookio manyu tiga o maheeni!”
