< Ayubu 32 >

1 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio atatũ nĩmatigire gũcookeria Ayubu, nĩ ũndũ eeyonaga arĩ mũthingu.
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
2 No rĩrĩ, Elihu mũrũ wa Barakeli ũrĩa Mũbuzi, wa nyũmba ya Ramu, nĩarakaririo mũno nĩ Ayubu nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtua aarĩ na kĩhooto gũkĩra Ngai.
Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
3 Ningĩ nĩarakarĩtio nĩ arata acio atatũ tondũ nĩmagĩte ũndũ mangĩcookeria Ayubu, o na gũtuĩka nĩmamũtuĩrĩire ciira.
Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
4 Na rĩrĩ, Elihu aambĩte gweterera acio angĩ maarie atanaaria na Ayubu, tondũ o maarĩ akũrũ kũmũkĩra.
Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.
5 No rĩrĩa onire atĩ andũ acio atatũ matiarĩ na ũndũ ũngĩ wa kuuga-rĩ, agĩakanwo nĩ marakara.
When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Elihu, mũrũ wa Barakeli ũcio Mũbuzi, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Niĩ ndĩ na mĩaka mĩnini, na inyuĩ mũrĩ akũrũ; nĩkĩo ngwĩtigagĩra, ngaaga ũũmĩrĩru wa kũmwĩra ũrĩa njũũĩ.
And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and you are very old; why I was afraid, and dared not show you my opinion.
7 Ndeciiragia atĩrĩ, ‘Ũkũrũ nĩwaagĩrĩire warie; ũingĩ wa mĩaka nĩwaagĩrĩire kũrutana ũũgĩ.’
I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
8 No nĩ roho ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa mũndũ, o yo mĩhũmũ ya Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, ũheaga mũndũ ũmenyo.
But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty gives them understanding.
9 To arĩa akũrũ oiki oogĩ, na to arĩa akũrũ mamenyaga ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire.
Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
10 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nguuga atĩrĩ, ‘Thikĩrĩriai; o na niĩ nĩngũmwĩra ũrĩa njũũĩ.’
Therefore I said, Listen to me; I also will show my opinion.
11 Nĩngwetereire rĩrĩa mũkwaragia, ndathikĩrĩria ihooto cianyu; rĩrĩa mũgũcaragia ciugo-rĩ,
Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst you searched out what to say.
12 nĩngũmũtegeire matũ biũ. No gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wanyu wonanirie mahĩtia ma Ayubu; gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wanyu ũmũcookeirie mĩario yake.
Yes, I attended to you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
13 Tigai kuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩtũgĩĩte na ũũgĩ; rekei Mũrungu amũkararie, no ti mũndũ.’
Lest you should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusts him down, not man.
14 No rĩrĩ, Ayubu ti niĩ ekwerekeirie ciugo ciake, na niĩ ndikũmũcookeria kũringana na mĩario yanyu.
Now he has not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.
15 “Nĩmamakĩte, na matirĩ na ũndũ ũngĩ mangiuga; nĩmarigĩtwo nĩ atĩa mangiuga.
They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.
16 no nginya njeterere, nĩ ũndũ rĩu nĩmakirĩte, tondũ atĩ rĩu marũgamĩte hau matarĩ na macookio?
When I had waited, (for they spoke not, but stood still, and answered no more; )
17 O na niĩ nĩngwaria; o na niĩ nĩnguuga ũrĩa njũũĩ.
I said, I will answer also my part, I also will show my opinion.
18 Nĩgũkorwo njiyũrĩtwo nĩ ciugo, naguo roho ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ wakwa nĩũrandindĩkĩrĩria;
For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constrains me.
19 thĩinĩ wakwa haana ta ndibei ĩrĩ cuba ngunĩke, ngahaana ta mondo njerũ ya ndibei ĩkirie gũtuthũka.
Behold, my belly is as wine which has no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
20 no nginya njarie hũũcũke, no nginya ndumũre mĩromo yakwa njookie ũhoro.
I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.
21 Ndigũtĩĩra mũndũ o na ũ maũthĩ, kana ngaathĩrĩrie mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ tũhũ;
Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person, neither let me give flattering titles to man.
22 nĩ ũndũ korwo ndĩ mwara na kũgaathĩrĩria, Mũnyũũmbi no anjeherie narua.
For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
