Ayubu 32
1 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ acio atatũ nĩmatigire gũcookeria Ayubu, nĩ ũndũ eeyonaga arĩ mũthingu.
And these three men cease from answering Job, for he [is] 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.
and burn doth the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram; against Job hath his anger burned, because of his justifying himself more than God;
3 Ningĩ nĩarakarĩtio nĩ arata acio atatũ tondũ nĩmagĩte ũndũ mangĩcookeria Ayubu, o na gũtuĩka nĩmamũtuĩrĩire ciira.
and against his three friends hath his anger burned, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job.
4 Na rĩrĩ, Elihu aambĩte gweterera acio angĩ maarie atanaaria na Ayubu, tondũ o maarĩ akũrũ kũmũkĩra.
And Elihu hath waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days.
5 No rĩrĩa onire atĩ andũ acio atatũ matiarĩ na ũndũ ũngĩ wa kuuga-rĩ, agĩakanwo nĩ marakara.
And Elihu seeth that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burneth.
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 son of Barachel the Buzite answereth and saith: — Young I [am] in days, and ye [are] age Therefore I have feared, And am afraid of shewing you my opinion.
7 Ndeciiragia atĩrĩ, ‘Ũkũrũ nĩwaagĩrĩire warie; ũingĩ wa mĩaka nĩwaagĩrĩire kũrutana ũũgĩ.’
I said: Days do speak, And multitude of years teach wisdom.
8 No nĩ roho ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ wa mũndũ, o yo mĩhũmũ ya Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, ũheaga mũndũ ũmenyo.
Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One Doth cause them to understand.
9 To arĩa akũrũ oiki oogĩ, na to arĩa akũrũ mamenyaga ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire.
The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.
10 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nguuga atĩrĩ, ‘Thikĩrĩriai; o na niĩ nĩngũmwĩra ũrĩa njũũĩ.’
Therefore I have said: Hearken to me, I do shew my opinion — even I.
11 Nĩngwetereire rĩrĩa mũkwaragia, ndathikĩrĩria ihooto cianyu; rĩrĩa mũgũcaragia ciugo-rĩ,
Lo, I have waited for your words, I give ear unto your reasons, Till ye search out sayings.
12 nĩngũmũtegeire matũ biũ. No gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wanyu wonanirie mahĩtia ma Ayubu; gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wanyu ũmũcookeirie mĩario yake.
And unto you I attend, And lo, there is no reasoner for Job, [Or] answerer of his sayings among you.
13 Tigai kuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩtũgĩĩte na ũũgĩ; rekei Mũrungu amũkararie, no ti mũndũ.’
Lest ye say, We have found wisdom, God doth thrust him away, not man.
14 No rĩrĩ, Ayubu ti niĩ ekwerekeirie ciugo ciake, na niĩ ndikũmũcookeria kũringana na mĩario yanyu.
And he hath not set in array words for me, And with your sayings I do not answer him.
15 “Nĩmamakĩte, na matirĩ na ũndũ ũngĩ mangiuga; nĩmarigĩtwo nĩ atĩa mangiuga.
(They have broken down, They have not answered again, They removed from themselves words.
16 no nginya njeterere, nĩ ũndũ rĩu nĩmakirĩte, tondũ atĩ rĩu marũgamĩte hau matarĩ na macookio?
And I have waited, but they do not speak, For they have stood still, They have not answered any more.)
17 O na niĩ nĩngwaria; o na niĩ nĩnguuga ũrĩa njũũĩ.
I answer, even I — my share, I shew my opinion — even I.
18 Nĩgũkorwo njiyũrĩtwo nĩ ciugo, naguo roho ũrĩa ũrĩ thĩinĩ wakwa nĩũrandindĩkĩrĩria;
For I have been full of words, Distressed me hath the spirit of my breast,
19 thĩinĩ wakwa haana ta ndibei ĩrĩ cuba ngunĩke, ngahaana ta mondo njerũ ya ndibei ĩkirie gũtuthũka.
Lo, my breast [is] as wine not opened, Like new bottles it is broken up.
20 no nginya njarie hũũcũke, no nginya ndumũre mĩromo yakwa njookie ũhoro.
I speak, and there is refreshment to me, I 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 the face of any, Nor unto man give flattering titles,
22 nĩ ũndũ korwo ndĩ mwara na kũgaathĩrĩria, Mũnyũũmbi no anjeherie narua.
For I have not known to give flattering titles, In a little doth my Maker take me away.
