Ayubu 26
1 Ningĩ Ayubu agĩcookia atĩrĩ:
Then Job made answer and said,
2 “Kaĩ ũrĩ gũteithia ũrĩa ũtarĩ na ũhoti-ĩ! Kaĩ ũrĩ kũhonokia guoko kũrĩa gũtarĩ na hinya-ĩ!
How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength!
3 Kaĩ ũrĩ gũtaara mũndũ ũtarĩ na ũũgĩ-ĩ! Na atĩrĩ, kaĩ nĩwonanĩtie ũmenyo mũnene-ĩ!
How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!
4 Nũũ wagũteithia kwaria ciugo icio? Na nĩ roho waũ waria na kanua gaku?
To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?
5 “Arĩa akuũ marĩ na ruo rũnene, o acio marĩ rungu rwa maaĩ na kĩrĩa gĩothe gĩtũũraga kuo.
The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them.
The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil. (Sheol h7585)
7 Atambũrũkagia matu ma mwena wa gathigathini igũrũ rĩa kũndũ gũtarĩ kĩndũ; nayo thĩ ndarĩ kĩndũ amĩcunjurĩtie nakĩo.
By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing.
8 Athayaga maaĩ thĩinĩ wa matu make, no matu macio matingĩtembũrwo nĩ ũritũ wamo.
By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.
9 Ahumbagĩra ũthiũ wa mweri rĩrĩa waiganana, agatambũrũkia matu make igũrũ rĩaguo.
By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.
10 Nĩekĩrĩte rũkiriri igũrũ rĩa maaĩ, rũkahakania ũtheri na nduma.
By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.
11 Itugĩ iria itiirĩrĩire igũrũ nĩ ithingithaga, ikagegearaga nĩ ũndũ wa ikũũmana rĩake.
The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.
12 Nĩoirugire maaĩ ma iria na ũndũ wa hinya wake; na nĩ ũndũ wa ũũgĩ wake nĩatinaangirie Rahabu tũcunjĩ.
By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.
13 Mĩhũmũ yake nĩyo yathakaririe igũrũ; guoko gwake nĩ gwatheecire nyoka ĩrĩa ĩnyororokaga na ihenya.
By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.
14 Atĩrĩrĩ, ĩno no mĩthia ya mawĩra make; kaĩ no kamũheehũ kanini tũiguaga ka ũhoro wake-ĩ! Nũũ ũngĩgĩtaũkĩrwo nĩ marurumĩ ma ũhoti wake?”
See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.
