Ayubu 20
1 Nake Zofaru ũrĩa Mũnaamathi agĩcookia atĩrĩ:
And Zophar the Naamathite answers and says:
2 “Meciiria makwa nĩ mathĩĩnĩku, na nĩkĩo ngũcookia, nĩ ũndũ nĩndangĩkĩte mũno.
“Therefore my thoughts cause me to answer, And because of my sensations in me.
3 Ndĩraigua irũithia rĩa kũnjonorithia, naguo ũmenyo wakwa nĩũranjĩkĩra hinya wa gũcookia.
I hear the discipline of my shame, And the spirit of my understanding causes me to answer:
4 “Ti-itherũ nĩũũĩ ũrĩa gũtũire kuuma tene rĩrĩa mũndũ aigirwo gũkũ thĩ ĩno,
Have you known this from antiquity? Since the placing of man on earth?
5 atĩ kũrũũhia kwa arĩa aaganu no gwa kahinda, o nakĩo gĩkeno kĩa andũ arĩa matooĩ Ngai no gĩa kahinda kanini.
That the singing of the wicked [is] short, And the joy of the profane for a moment,
6 O na gũtuĩka mwĩtĩĩo wake nĩ ũkinyaga o igũrũ, naguo mũtwe wake ũkahutia matu-rĩ,
Though his excellence goes up to the heavens, He strikes his head against a cloud—
7 agaathira nginya tene o ta mai make mwene; arĩa manamuona mooragie atĩrĩ, ‘Kaĩ aathiire kũ?’
He perishes as his own dung forever, His beholders say, Where [is] he?
8 Airagĩria ta kĩroto, akaaga kuoneka rĩngĩ, akaingatwo ta kĩoneki kĩa ũtukũ.
He flees as a dream, and they do not find him, And he is driven away as a vision of the night,
9 Riitho rĩrĩa rĩamuonaga rĩtikamuona rĩngĩ; harĩa aaikaraga hatikamuona rĩngĩ.
The eye has not seen him, and does not add. And his place does not behold him again.
10 Ciana ciake ikaageragia kwĩiguithania na athĩĩni; moko make mwene no nginya magaacookia ũtonga wake kũrĩa aaũrutire.
His sons oppress the poor, And his hands give back his wealth.
11 Hinya wa wĩthĩ ũrĩa ũiyũrĩte mahĩndĩ-inĩ make ũgaakoma hamwe nake rũkũngũ-inĩ.
His bones have been full of his youth, and it lies down with him on the dust.
12 “O na gũtuĩka ũũru ũrĩ mũrĩo ũrĩ kanua gake, na nĩaũhithaga rungu rwa rũrĩmĩ rwake,
Though he sweetens evil in his mouth, hides it under his tongue,
13 o na gũtuĩka ndangĩhota kũũrekia na aũigaga kanua gake-rĩ,
has pity on it, and does not forsake it, and keeps it back in the midst of his palate,
14 irio ciake nĩikarũra irĩ nda yake; igaatuĩka ũrũrũ wa nduĩra thĩinĩ wake.
his food is turned in his bowels, the bitterness of cobras [is] in his heart.
15 Nĩagatahĩka ũtonga ũrĩa ameretie; Mũrungu nĩagatũma aũtahĩke.
He has swallowed wealth, and vomits it. God drives it out from his belly.
16 Nĩakoonga thumu wa nyoka; magego ma nyoka nĩmo makaamũũraga.
He sucks [the] gall of cobras, the tongue of a viper slays him.
17 Ndagakenera tũrũũĩ, njũũĩ iria ithereraga ũũkĩ na ngorono.
He does not look on streams, Flowing of brooks of honey and butter.
18 Kĩndũ kĩrĩa anogeire no nginya agagĩcookia atakĩrĩte; ndagakenera uumithio wa wonjoria wake.
He is giving back [what] he labored for, and does not consume [it]; As a bulwark [is] his exchange, and he does not exult.
19 Nĩgũkorwo nĩahinyĩrĩirie athĩĩni, akamatiga matarĩ na kĩndũ; nĩatunyanĩte nyũmba iria ataakire.
For he oppressed—he forsook the poor, He has taken a house away violently, And he does not build it.
20 “Ti-itherũ merirĩria make matingĩthira; ndangĩĩhonokia na indo iria eigĩire.
For he has not known ease in his belly. With his desirable thing he does not deliver himself.
21 Gũtirĩ kĩndũ atigĩirio gĩa kũrĩa; ũtonga wake ndũgatũũra.
There is not a remnant to his food, Therefore his good does not stay.
22 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aiganĩire nĩ ũndũ wa kũingĩhia indo, mĩnyamaro nĩĩkamũnyiita; ũkĩa nĩũkamũkora na nditi nene.
In the fullness of his sufficiency he is constricted. Every perverse hand meets him.
23 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aiyũrĩtie nda yake-rĩ, nĩguo Ngai akaarekereria marakara make mahiũ mamũkore na amuurĩrie mahũũra make.
It comes to pass, at the filling of his belly, He sends forth against him The fierceness of His anger, Indeed, He rains on him in his eating.
24 O na angĩũrĩra indo cia mbaara cia kĩgera, akaarathwo na mũguĩ wa gĩcango.
He flees from an iron weapon, A bow of bronze passes through him.
25 Aũcomoraga kuuma ngʼongʼo wake, mũtheece ũcio mũkengu akaũcomora kuuma ini-inĩ rĩake. Imakania nĩikamũkorerera;
One has drawn, And it comes out from the body, And a glittering weapon proceeds from his gall. Terrors [are] on him.
26 nduma nene nĩyetereire igĩĩna ciake. Mwaki ũtarĩ mũhurutĩre nĩũkamũcina, na ũniine kĩrĩa gĩtigaire thĩinĩ wa hema yake.
All darkness is hid for his treasures, A fire not blown consumes him, The remnant is broken in his tent.
27 Igũrũ nĩrĩkaguũria wĩhia wake; thĩ nayo nĩĩkarahũka ĩmũũkĩrĩre.
The heavens reveal his iniquity, And earth is raising itself against him.
28 Kĩguũ nĩgĩgathereria nyũmba yake, indo cia nyũmba yake ithererio nĩ kĩguũ mũthenya ũcio wa mangʼũrĩ ma Ngai.
The increase of his house is removed, Poured forth in a day of His anger.
29 Ũcio nĩguo ũndũ ũrĩa Ngai agayagĩra arĩa aaganu, igai rĩrĩa maathĩrĩirwo nĩ Mũrungu.”
This [is] the portion of a wicked man from God. And an inheritance appointed him by God.”
