Ayubu 19
1 Nake Ayubu akĩũria atĩrĩ:
Bvt Iob answered, and said,
2 “Mũkũũnyariira nginya-rĩ, mũkĩĩhehenjaga na ciugo?
Howe long will yee vexe my soule, and torment me with wordes?
3 Rĩu mũrĩ kũndetia maita ikũmi; mũũtharĩkĩire mũtarĩ na thoni.
Ye haue now ten times reproched me, and are not ashamed: ye are impudent toward mee.
4 Angĩkorwo nĩ ma atĩ nĩhĩtĩtie njĩra, ihĩtia rĩakwa rĩgũikara rĩrĩ thĩĩna wakwa.
And though I had in deede erred, mine errour remaineth with me.
5 Mũngĩkorwo ti-itherũ nĩmũgwĩtũũgĩria igũrũ rĩakwa, na mũgĩe na mweke wa kũnjũkĩrĩra nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo njonorithĩtio,
But in deede if ye will aduance your selues against me, and rebuke me for my reproche,
6 no kĩmenyei atĩ Ngai nĩwe ũũhĩtĩirie, akandigiicĩria na wabu wake.
Know nowe, that God hath ouerthrowen me, and hath compassed me with his net.
7 “O na gũtuĩka nĩngayaga ngoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Ndĩĩmũhĩtĩrie!’ Niĩ ndirĩ ũndũ njookagĩrio; o na gũtuĩka nĩhooyaga ndeithio, gũtirĩ kĩhooto nyonaga.
Beholde, I crie out of violence, but I haue none answere: I crie, but there is no iudgement.
8 Nĩahingĩire njĩra na niĩ ndingĩhota kũhĩtũka; tũcĩra twakwa nĩatwĩkĩrĩte nduma.
Hee hath hedged vp my way that I cannot passe, and he hath set darkenesse in my paths.
9 Nĩanjaũrĩte gĩtĩĩo gĩakwa, na akanduta thũmbĩ mũtwe.
Hee hath spoyled mee of mine honour, and taken the crowne away from mine head.
10 Andarũrangaga kuuma mbarĩ ciothe nginya ngathira; amunyaga mwĩhoko wakwa o ta mũtĩ.
He hath destroyed mee on euery side and I am gone: and he hath remoued mine hope like a tree.
11 Marakara make nĩmanjakanĩire; andaraga hamwe na thũ ciake.
And he hath kindled his wrath against me, and counteth mee as one of his enemies.
12 Mbũtũ ciake cia ita injerekagĩra na hinya; ciakaga ihumbu cia kũnjũkĩrĩra, igathiũrũrũkĩria hema yakwa.
His armies came together, and made their way vpon me, and camped about my tabernacle.
13 “Nĩanyamũranĩtie na ariũ a baba makaahutatĩra; andũ arĩa tũyaine nao nĩmeĩndigithĩtie biũ.
He hath remooued my brethre farre from me, and also mine acquaintance were strangers vnto me.
14 Andũ a mbarĩ ciitũ nĩmathiĩte makandiga; arata akwa nĩmariganĩirwo nĩ niĩ.
My neighbours haue forsaken me, and my familiars haue forgotten me.
15 Ageni akwa na ndungata ciakwa cia andũ-a-nja matuaga ta matanjũũĩ; maanyonaga ta ndĩ mũndũ uumĩte kũndũ kũngĩ.
They that dwel in mine house, and my maydes tooke me for a stranger: for I was a stranger in their sight.
16 Njĩtaga ndungata yakwa, no ndĩngĩnjĩtĩka, o na ndĩmĩthaithĩte na kanua gakwa niĩ mwene.
I called my seruant, but he would not answere, though I prayed him with my mouth.
17 Mĩhũmũ ya kanua gakwa nĩmĩnungu harĩ mũtumia wakwa; nduĩkĩte wa kũmenwo harĩ ariũ a maitũ.
My breath was strange vnto my wife, though I prayed her for the childrens sake of mine owne body.
18 O na tũhĩĩ tũrĩa tũnini nĩtũũnyararĩte, rĩrĩa ndatuumĩrĩra no gũũthekerera tũũthekagĩrĩra.
The wicked also despised mee, and when I rose, they spake against me.
19 Arata akwa arĩa manguhĩrĩirie othe nĩmathũire; andũ arĩa nyendeete nĩmahutatĩire makaanjũkĩrĩra.
All my secret friends abhorred me, and they whome I loued, are turned against me.
20 Niĩ thirĩte ngatigara o gĩkonde na mahĩndĩ; niĩ ndigarĩirwo no kĩni kĩa magego giiki.
My bone cleaueth to my skinne and to my flesh, and I haue escaped with the skinne of my teeth.
21 “Njiguĩrai tha, inyuĩ arata akwa, iguai tha, nĩgũkorwo guoko kwa Ngai nĩkũngũthĩte.
Haue pitie vpon me: haue pitie vpon me, (O yee my friendes) for the hande of God hath touched me.
22 Mũthingatanaga na niĩ o ta ũrĩa Mũrungu aathingataga nĩkĩ? Mũtirĩ mũraiganwo nĩ nyama ciakwa?
Why do ye persecute me, as God? and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23 “Naarĩ korwo ciugo ciakwa nĩciandĩkĩtwo, igakĩandĩkwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo,
Oh that my wordes were nowe written! oh that they were written euen in a booke,
24 igakarwo na karamu ga kĩgera igũrũ rĩa ngocorai, kana igakururwo rwaro-inĩ rwa ihiga itũũre nginya tene!
And grauen with an yron pen in lead, or in stone for euer!
25 Nĩnjũũĩ atĩ Mũngũũri arĩ muoyo, na atĩ marigĩrĩrio-inĩ nĩwe ũkaarũgama thĩ ĩno.
For I am sure, that my Redeemer liueth, and he shall stand the last on the earth.
26 Nakĩo gĩkonde gĩkĩ gĩakwa kĩarĩkia gũthira, na mwĩrĩ ũyũ wa nyama ũkorwo ũtarĩ ho, hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩ ngoona Ngai;
And though after my skin wormes destroy this bodie, yet shall I see God in my flesh.
27 niĩ mwene nĩngamwĩonera na maitho, niĩ mwene, ti mũndũ ũngĩ. Ĩ ngoro yakwa ndĩkĩrĩ na wendo mũnene!
Whome I my selfe shall see, and mine eyes shall beholde, and none other for me, though my reynes are consumed within me.
28 “Mũngiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ĩ nĩtũthingatane nake, kuona atĩ nĩwe kĩhumo gĩa thĩĩna ũyũ,’
But yee sayde, Why is hee persecuted? And there was a deepe matter in me.
29 inyuĩ ene nĩmwagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩtigĩra rũhiũ rwa njora; nĩgũkorwo mangʼũrĩ nĩmakarehithia kũherithanio na rũhiũ rwa njora, na hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ nĩ kũrĩ ũtuanĩri wa ciira.”
Be ye afraide of the sworde: for the sworde will be auenged of wickednesse, that yee may knowe that there is a iudgement.
