Ayubu 26
1 Ningĩ Ayubu agĩcookia atĩrĩ:
Then responded Job, and said: —
2 “Kaĩ ũrĩ gũteithia ũrĩa ũtarĩ na ũhoti-ĩ! Kaĩ ũrĩ kũhonokia guoko kũrĩa gũtarĩ na hinya-ĩ!
How hast thou given help to one of no-strength? given victory to an arm of no-power?
3 Kaĩ ũrĩ gũtaara mũndũ ũtarĩ na ũũgĩ-ĩ! Na atĩrĩ, kaĩ nĩwonanĩtie ũmenyo mũnene-ĩ!
How hast thou given counsel to one of no-wisdom? or, effective wisdom, abundantly made known?
4 Nũũ wagũteithia kwaria ciugo icio? Na nĩ roho waũ waria na kanua gaku?
Whom hast thou taught speech? Whose inspiration hath come from thee?
5 “Arĩa akuũ marĩ na ruo rũnene, o acio marĩ rungu rwa maaĩ na kĩrĩa gĩothe gĩtũũraga kuo.
The shades, tremble, beneath the waters and their inhabitants;
Naked is hades before him, and there is no covering to destruction; (Sheol h7585)
7 Atambũrũkagia matu ma mwena wa gathigathini igũrũ rĩa kũndũ gũtarĩ kĩndũ; nayo thĩ ndarĩ kĩndũ amĩcunjurĩtie nakĩo.
Who stretcheth out the north over emptiness, hangeth the earth upon nothingness;
8 Athayaga maaĩ thĩinĩ wa matu make, no matu macio matingĩtembũrwo nĩ ũritũ wamo.
Who bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not rent beneath them;
9 Ahumbagĩra ũthiũ wa mweri rĩrĩa waiganana, agatambũrũkia matu make igũrũ rĩaguo.
Who shutteth-in the face of the throne, he spreadeth over it his cloud;
10 Nĩekĩrĩte rũkiriri igũrũ rĩa maaĩ, rũkahakania ũtheri na nduma.
A, boundary, hath he encircled on the face of the waters, as far as where light ends in darkness;
11 Itugĩ iria itiirĩrĩire igũrũ nĩ ithingithaga, ikagegearaga nĩ ũndũ wa ikũũmana rĩake.
The pillars of the heavens, are shaken, and are terrified at his rebuke:
12 Nĩoirugire maaĩ ma iria na ũndũ wa hinya wake; na nĩ ũndũ wa ũũgĩ wake nĩatinaangirie Rahabu tũcunjĩ.
By his strength, hath he excited the sea, and, by his skill, hath he shattered the Crocodile:
13 Mĩhũmũ yake nĩyo yathakaririe igũrũ; guoko gwake nĩ gwatheecire nyoka ĩrĩa ĩnyororokaga na ihenya.
By his spirit, hath he arched the heavens, His hand hath pierced the fleeing 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?”
Lo! these, are the fringes of his way, and what a whisper of a word hath been heard of him! But, the thunder of his might, who could understand?
