Ayubu 26
1 Ningĩ Ayubu agĩcookia atĩrĩ:
Then Job answered,
2 “Kaĩ ũrĩ gũteithia ũrĩa ũtarĩ na ũhoti-ĩ! Kaĩ ũrĩ kũhonokia guoko kũrĩa gũtarĩ na hinya-ĩ!
“How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength!
3 Kaĩ ũrĩ gũtaara mũndũ ũtarĩ na ũũgĩ-ĩ! Na atĩrĩ, kaĩ nĩwonanĩtie ũmenyo mũnene-ĩ!
How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
4 Nũũ wagũteithia kwaria ciugo icio? Na nĩ roho waũ waria na kanua gaku?
To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit came out of you?
5 “Arĩa akuũ marĩ na ruo rũnene, o acio marĩ rungu rwa maaĩ na kĩrĩa gĩothe gĩtũũraga kuo.
“The departed spirits tremble, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
Sheol (Sheol h7585) is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.
7 Atambũrũkagia matu ma mwena wa gathigathini igũrũ rĩa kũndũ gũtarĩ kĩndũ; nayo thĩ ndarĩ kĩndũ amĩcunjurĩtie nakĩo.
He stretches out the north over empty space, and hangs the earth on nothing.
8 Athayaga maaĩ thĩinĩ wa matu make, no matu macio matingĩtembũrwo nĩ ũritũ wamo.
He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not burst under them.
9 Ahumbagĩra ũthiũ wa mweri rĩrĩa waiganana, agatambũrũkia matu make igũrũ rĩaguo.
He encloses the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
10 Nĩekĩrĩte rũkiriri igũrũ rĩa maaĩ, rũkahakania ũtheri na nduma.
He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters, and to the confines of light and darkness.
11 Itugĩ iria itiirĩrĩire igũrũ nĩ ithingithaga, ikagegearaga nĩ ũndũ wa ikũũmana rĩake.
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 Nĩoirugire maaĩ ma iria na ũndũ wa hinya wake; na nĩ ũndũ wa ũũgĩ wake nĩatinaangirie Rahabu tũcunjĩ.
He stirs up the sea with his power, and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
13 Mĩhũmũ yake nĩyo yathakaririe igũrũ; guoko gwake nĩ gwatheecire nyoka ĩrĩa ĩnyororokaga na ihenya.
By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
14 Atĩrĩrĩ, ĩno no mĩthia ya mawĩra make; kaĩ no kamũheehũ kanini tũiguaga ka ũhoro wake-ĩ! Nũũ ũngĩgĩtaũkĩrwo nĩ marurumĩ ma ũhoti wake?”
Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways. How small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?”
