Ayubu 23

1 Ningĩ Ayubu agĩcookia atĩrĩ:

And he answered Job and he said.

2 “O na ũmũthĩ gũteta gwakwa no kũrũrũ; guoko gwake nĩkũnditũhĩire o na ngĩcaayaga ũguo.

Also this day [the] rebellion of complaint my hand my it is heavy on groaning my.

3 Naarĩ korwo nĩnjũũĩ kũrĩa ingĩmuona; Naarĩ korwo no hote gũthiĩ kũrĩa aikaraga!

Who? will he give I knew and I will find him I will come to place his.

4 Ingĩĩyarĩrĩria harĩ we, njiyũrie kanua gakwa ihooto.

Let me set in order before him a case and mouth my let me fill arguments.

5 No nyende kũmenya ũrĩa angĩĩnjookeria, ndĩcũũranie ũrĩa angĩnjĩĩra.

I want to know [the] words [which] he will answer me and I want to understand what? will he say to me.

6 No anjũkĩrĩre na ũhoti wake mũnene? Aca, ndangĩhatĩrĩria na thitango.

¿ With greatness of power will he conduct a case with me not surely he he will put on me.

7 Hau-rĩ, mũndũ mũrũngĩrĩru no atware ciira wake mbere yake, na niĩ njohorithio kuuma kũrĩ mũnjiirithia nginya tene.

There an upright [person] [will be] reasoning with him and I will deliver to perpetuity from judge my.

8 “No rĩrĩ, ingĩthiĩ mwena wa irathĩro, we ndarĩ kuo; ingĩthiĩ mwena wa ithũĩro, ndiramuona.

Here! forward I go and there not [is] he and backwards and not I perceive him.

9 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa arĩ wĩra-inĩ mwena wa gathigathini, ndimuonaga; rĩrĩa athiĩ mwena wa gũthini, ndimuonaga o na hanini.

[the] left [side] When acts he and not I see [him] he turns [the] right [side] and not I see [him].

10 Nowe-rĩ, nĩooĩ njĩra ĩrĩa ngeragĩra; aarĩkia kũngeria, ngoima haana o ta thahabu.

That he knows [the] way with me he has tested me like gold I will come forth.

11 Magũrũ makwa moimĩte makinya make thuutha; nũmagĩrĩra njĩra yake itekwahũka na mwena.

On step his it has taken hold foot my way his I have kept and not I have turned aside.

12 Niĩ nditiganĩirie maathani ma mĩromo yake; njĩkĩrĩire ciugo cia kanua gake gũkĩra irio ciakwa cia o mũthenya.

[the] commandment of Lips his and not I have ceased more than portion my I have treasured up [the] words of mouth his.

13 “No rĩrĩ, arũgamaga arĩ o wiki; nũũ ũngĩhota kũregana nake? Ekaga o ũrĩa ekwenda.

And he [is] one and who? will he turn back him and [that which] self his it has desired and he has done.

14 Ahingagia ũndũ ũrĩa anduĩrĩire, na arĩ o na mĩbango mĩingĩ ta ĩyo anjigĩire.

For he performs decree my and like them many [are] with him.

15 Kĩu nĩkĩo gĩtũmĩte nyiitwo nĩ kĩmako ndĩ mbere yake; ndeciiria maũndũ macio mothe-rĩ, ngamwĩtigĩra.

There-fore of him I am terrified I consider and I may be in dread from him.

16 Mũrungu nĩatũmĩte ngoro yakwa yũrwo nĩ hinya; ũcio Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩatũmĩte nyiitwo nĩ guoya.

And God he has made faint heart my and [the] Almighty he has terrified me.

17 No rĩrĩ, ndikirĩtio nĩ nduma, ĩĩ nduma ĩyo ndumanu ĩhumbĩrĩte ũthiũ wakwa.

For not I have been destroyed from before darkness and from before me it covers gloom.
