Ayubu 18
1 Ningĩ Bilidadi ũrĩa Mũshuhi agĩcookia, akĩũria atĩrĩ:
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2 “Ũrĩĩtiga kwaria mĩario ĩno rĩ? Gĩa na ũũgĩ nĩguo o na ithuĩ tũhote kwaria.
When will yee make an ende of your words? cause vs to vnderstande, and then wee will speake.
3 Nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma ũtuone tũhaana ta ngʼombe, na tũgatuuo irimũ maitho-inĩ maku?
Wherefore are wee counted as beastes, and are vile in your sight?
4 Wee ũrehanyũrũra nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa ũrakarĩte-rĩ, thĩ no ĩthaamwo nĩ ũndũ waku? Kana no nginya ndwaro cia mahiga cieherio harĩa itũire?
Thou art as one that teareth his soule in his anger. Shall the earth bee forsaken for thy sake? or the rocke remoued out of his place?
5 “Tawa wa mũndũ mwaganu nĩmũhorie; rũrĩrĩmbĩ rwa mwaki wake nĩrũtigĩte gwakana.
Yea, the light of the wicked shalbe quenched, and the sparke of his fire shall not shine.
6 Ũtheri ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa hema yake ũtuĩkĩte nduma; naguo tawa ũrĩa ũrĩ hakuhĩ nake ũkahora.
The light shalbe darke in his dwelling, and his candle shalbe put out with him.
7 Hinya wa mũkinyũkĩrie wake nĩmũhũthie; namo mathugunda make makamũgũithia thĩ.
The steps of his strength shalbe restrained, and his owne counsell shall cast him downe.
8 Makinya make mamũikagia wabu-inĩ, nake akoorũraga thĩinĩ wa marima mayo.
For hee is taken in the net by his feete, and he walketh vpon the snares.
9 Mũtego ũmũnyiitĩire ndiira-inĩ ya kũgũrũ; mũtego ũgakĩmũrũmia biũ.
The grenne shall take him by the heele, and the theefe shall come vpon him.
10 Ahithĩirwo kĩana kĩa rũrigi tĩĩri-inĩ, akaambĩrwo mũtego njĩra-inĩ yake.
A snare is layed for him in the ground, and a trappe for him in the way.
11 Imakania imuumagĩrĩra na mĩena yothe, na ikamũtengʼeragia harĩa hothe aagerera.
Fearefulnesse shall make him afrayde on euery side, and shall driue him to his feete.
12 Mũtino nĩũmũhũũtĩire; mwanangĩko wetereire agwe.
His strength shalbe famine: and destruction shalbe readie at his side.
13 Mũtino ũrĩĩaga icunjĩ cia gĩkonde gĩake; narĩo irigithathi rĩa gĩkuũ rĩgatambuuranga ciĩga ciake.
It shall deuoure the inner partes of his skinne, and the first borne of death shall deuoure his strength.
14 Aguucĩtio, akarutwo ũgitĩri-inĩ wa hema yake, na agatwarwo kũrĩ mũthamaki wa imakania.
His hope shalbe rooted out of his dwelling, and shall cause him to go to the King of feare.
15 Mwaki nĩguo ũtũũraga hema-inĩ yake; ũbiriti ũgwakana nĩũhurunjĩtwo gĩikaro gĩake.
Feare shall dwell in his house (because it is not his) and brimstone shalbe scattered vpon his habitation.
16 Mĩri yake yũmagĩra tĩĩri-inĩ, nacio honge ciake ikahooha na igũrũ.
His rootes shalbe dryed vp beneath, and aboue shall his branche be cut downe.
17 Kĩririkano gĩake nĩ gĩgaathira thĩ; ndarĩ rĩĩtwa bũrũri-inĩ.
His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall haue no name in the streete.
18 Akaarutũrũrwo ũtheri-inĩ atwarwo nduma-inĩ na nĩakaingatwo oime thĩ ĩno.
They shall driue him out of the light vnto darkenesse, and chase him out of the world.
19 Ndarĩ ciana kana njiaro thĩinĩ wa andũ ao, o na ndarĩ mũndũ wake ũgaatigara kũrĩa aatũũraga.
Hee shall neither haue sonne nor nephewe among his people, nor any posteritie in his dwellings.
20 Andũ a mwena wa ithũĩro nĩmakagegio nĩ maũndũ marĩa mamũkorete; andũ a mwena wa irathĩro manyiitwo nĩ kĩmako.
The posteritie shalbe astonied at his day, and feare shall come vpon the ancient.
21 Ti-itherũ ũguo nĩguo gĩikaro kĩa mũndũ mwaganu gũkahaana; kũndũ kwa mũndũ ũrĩa ũtooĩ Mũrungu-rĩ, gwake kũhaana ũguo.”
Surely such are the habitations of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
