Ayubu 33
1 “No rĩu Ayubu-rĩ, thikĩrĩria ciugo ciakwa; tega matũ ũigue ũrĩa wothe nguuga.
Wherefore, Iob, I pray thee, heare my talke and hearken vnto all my wordes.
2 Ndĩ hakuhĩ gũtumũra kanua gakwa; ciugo ciakwa irĩ o rũrĩmĩ-inĩ rwakwa.
Beholde now, I haue opened my mouth: my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
3 Ciugo ciakwa ciumĩte ngoro nũngĩrĩru; mĩromo yakwa yaragia ĩtarĩ na ũhinga.
My words are in the vprightnesse of mine heart, and my lippes shall speake pure knowledge.
4 Roho wa Mũrungu nĩwe ũnyũmbĩte; mĩhũmũ ya Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩyo ĩĩheaga muoyo.
The Spirite of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almightie hath giuen me life.
5 Nawe njookeria, akorwo nĩũkũhota; wĩhaarĩrie ũũngʼethere.
If thou canst giue me answere, prepare thy selfe and stand before me.
6 Niĩ haana o tawe maitho-inĩ ma Mũrungu; o na niĩ ndombirwo na rĩũmba.
Beholde, I am according to thy wish in Gods stead: I am also formed of the clay.
7 Kwĩĩndigĩra gũtigakũmakie, kana guoko gwakwa gũkũritũhĩre.
Beholde, my terrour shall not feare thee, neither shall mine hand be heauie vpon thee.
8 “No rĩrĩ, nĩuugĩte ngĩiguaga, ngaigua ciugo icio ũkiuga atĩ,
Doubtles thou hast spoken in mine eares, and I haue heard the voyce of thy wordes.
9 ‘Ndĩ mũtheru na ndirĩ na mehia; ndiĩkĩte ũũru, na ndirĩ na mahĩtia.
I am cleane, without sinne: I am innocent, and there is none iniquitie in me.
10 No Ngai nĩanyonete na mahĩtia; anduĩte thũ yake.
Lo, he hath found occasions against me, and counted me for his enemie.
11 Nĩanjohaga magũrũ na mĩnyororo; arangagĩra njĩra ciakwa ciothe.’
He hath put my feete in the stockes, and looketh narrowly vnto all my paths.
12 “No ngũkwĩra atĩrĩ, ũhoro-inĩ ũyũ wee ndũrĩ na kĩhooto, nĩgũkorwo Ngai nĩ mũnene gũkĩra mũndũ.
Behold, in this hast thou not done right: I will answere thee, that God is greater then man.
13 Ũramũtetia nĩkĩ, atĩ ndacookagia kiugo kĩa mũndũ o na kĩmwe?
Why doest thou striue against him? for he doeth not giue account of all his matters.
14 Nĩgũkorwo Mũrungu nĩaaragia, rĩmwe na njĩra ĩmwe, na rĩngĩ akaaria na njĩra ĩngĩ, o na gũtuĩka mũndũ no aage gũkũũrana.
For God speaketh once or twise, and one seeth it not.
15 Rĩmwe akaaragia kĩroto-inĩ na kĩoneki-inĩ gĩa ũtukũ, rĩrĩa andũ mahĩtĩtwo nĩ toro mũnene marĩ ũrĩrĩ,
In dreames and visions of the night, when sleepe falleth vpon men, and they sleepe vpon their beds,
16 no amaarĩrie matũ-inĩ mao, na amamakie nĩguo amakaanie,
Then he openeth the eares of men, euen by their corrections, which he had sealed,
17 nĩguo agarũre mũndũ atige kũhĩtia, na atigane na mwĩtĩĩo,
That he might cause man to turne away from his enterprise, and that he might hide the pride of man,
18 nĩguo agitĩre roho wake kuuma gĩkuũ-inĩ, na agitĩre muoyo wake ndũkaniinwo na rũhiũ rwa njora.
And keepe backe his soule from the pit, and that his life should not passe by the sword.
19 Ningĩ mũndũ no arũithio na gũkomio ũrĩrĩ wa ruo, akorwo na thĩĩna wa mahĩndĩ ũtathiraga,
He is also striken with sorow vpon his bed, and the griefe of his bones is sore,
20 o nginya ngoro yake ĩgathũũra irio, na roho wake ũgathũũra irio iria njega mũno.
So that his life causeth him to abhorre bread, and his soule daintie meate.
21 Nyama cia mwĩrĩ wake ihĩnjaga igathirĩrĩkĩra, na mahĩndĩ make marĩa mataroonekaga makoimĩra.
His flesh faileth that it can not be seene, and his bones which were not seene, clatter.
22 Roho wake ũgakuhĩrĩria mbĩrĩra, na muoyo wake ũgakuhĩrĩria arĩa mareehage gĩkuũ.
So his soule draweth to the graue, and his life to the buriers.
23 “No rĩrĩ, angĩkorwo harĩ na mũraika mwena wake arĩ mũiguithania, ũmwe harĩ ngiri, wa kwĩra mũndũ ũndũ ũrĩa ũmwagĩrĩire,
If there be a messenger with him, or an interpreter, one of a thousand to declare vnto man his righteousnesse,
24 nake amũkinyĩrie wega wake na oige atĩrĩ, ‘Mũhonokie ndagatuĩke wa gũikũrũka mbĩrĩra-inĩ; nĩnyonete gĩa kũmũkũũra nakĩo,’
Then will he haue mercie vpon him, and will say, Deliuer him, that he go not downe into the pit: for I haue receiued a reconciliation.
25 hĩndĩ ĩyo nyama cia mwĩrĩ wake igeethĩha ta cia mwana; igaacooka ta ũrĩa ciarĩ matukũ-inĩ ma wĩthĩ wake.
Then shall his flesh be as fresh as a childes, and shall returne as in the dayes of his youth.
26 Ahooyaga Ngai ageekwo wega nĩwe, oonaga ũthiũ wa Ngai akaanĩrĩra nĩ gũkena; agacookio ũthingu-inĩ wake nĩ Ngai.
He shall pray vnto God, and he will be fauourable vnto him, and he shall see his face with ioy: for he will render vnto man his righteousnes.
27 Nake agacooka agathiĩ kũrĩ andũ akameera atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩndehirie, na ngĩogomia ũndũ ũrĩa warĩ wa ma, no ndiigana kũherithio ũrĩa ndaagĩrĩirwo nĩkũherithio.
He looketh vpon men, and if one say, I haue sinned, and peruerted righteousnesse, and it did not profite me,
28 Nĩakũũrire roho wakwa ndũkaharũrũkio mbĩrĩra, na niĩ ngũtũũra ngenagĩra ũtheri ũcio.’
He will deliuer his soule from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
29 “Mũrungu nĩekaga mũndũ maũndũ macio mothe, maita meerĩ o na kana matatũ,
Lo, all these things will God worke twise or thrise with a man,
30 nĩguo agarũre roho wake ndũkaharũrũkio mbĩrĩra, nĩgeetha ũtheri ũcio wa muoyo ũmũtherere.
That he may turne backe his soule from the pit, to be illuminate in the light of the liuing.
31 “Atĩrĩrĩ Ayubu, tega matũ na ũũthikĩrĩrie; kira ki na niĩ njarie.
Marke well, O Iob, and heare me: keepe silence, and I will speake.
32 Wakorwo ũrĩ na ũndũ wa kuuga-rĩ, njĩĩra; aria, nĩgũkorwo ingĩenda woneke ndwĩhĩtie.
If there be matter, answere me, and speak: for I desire to iustifie thee.
33 No akorwo ti ũguo-rĩ, wee gĩthikĩrĩrie; kira ki, na nĩngũkũruta ũũgĩ.”
If thou hast not, heare me: holde thy tongue, and I will teach thee wisedome.
