Ayubu 34
1 Ningĩ Elihu akiuga atĩrĩ:
Moreouer Elihu answered, and saide,
2 “Iguai ciugo ciakwa, inyuĩ andũ aya oogĩ; thikĩrĩriai, inyuĩ amenyi a maũndũ.
Heare my wordes, ye wise men, and hearken vnto me, ye that haue knowledge.
3 Nĩgũkorwo gũtũ gũthuuranagia ciugo o ta ũrĩa rũrĩmĩ rũcamaga irio.
For the eare tryeth the words, as the mouth tasteth meate.
4 Nĩtwĩkũũranĩrei ithuĩ ene ũndũ ũrĩa wagĩrĩire; nĩtwĩrute tũrĩ hamwe ũndũ ũrĩa mwega.
Let vs seeke iudgement among vs, and let vs knowe among our selues what is good.
5 “Ayubu aroiga atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ ndihĩtĩtie, no Mũrungu nĩanjagithĩtie kĩhooto gĩakwa.
For Iob hath saide, I am righteous, and God hath taken away my iudgement.
6 O na gũtuĩka ndĩraria ũrĩa kũrĩ, ndĩratuuo mũheenania; o na gũtuĩka ndirĩ na mahĩtia, mũguĩ wake ũngurarĩtie kĩronda gĩtangĩhona.’
Should I lye in my right? my wound of the arrowe is grieuous without my sinne.
7 Nĩ mũndũ ũrĩkũ ũhaana ta Ayubu, mũndũ ũnyuuaga kĩnyũrũri taarĩ maaĩ aranyua?
What man is like Iob, that drinketh scornfulnesse like water?
8 Atwaranaga na andũ arĩa mekaga ũũru; agĩĩaga thiritũ na andũ arĩa aaganu.
Which goeth in the companie of them that worke iniquitie, and walketh with wicked men?
9 Nĩgũkorwo oigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Gũtirĩ uumithio mũndũ onaga rĩrĩa arageria gũkenia Ngai.’
For he hath saide, It profiteth a man nothing that he should walke with God.
10 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio gĩĩthikĩrĩriei, inyuĩ andũ aya mũrĩ na ũtaũku. Ũhoro wa kwĩhia ũroaga kuoneka harĩ Mũrungu, Mwene-Hinya-Wothe aroaga gwĩka ũũru.
Therefore hearken vnto me, ye men of wisedome, God forbid that wickednesse should be in God, and iniquitie in the Almightie.
11 Arĩhaga mũndũ kũringana na ũrĩa ekĩte; akamũrehere o kĩrĩa kĩringaine na mĩthiĩre yake.
For he will render vnto man according to his worke, and cause euery one to finde according to his way.
12 Gũtingĩhoteka atĩ Mũrungu no eeke mahĩtia, atĩ ũrĩa Mwene-Hinya-Wothe no ogomie kĩhooto.
And certainely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almightie peruert iudgement.
13 Nũũ wamũtuire mũrori wa thĩ? Nũũ wamũtuire mũrũgamĩrĩri wa thĩ yothe?
Whome hath he appointed ouer the earth beside him selfe? or who hath placed the whole worlde?
14 Korwo aagĩa na muoroto wa kweheria roho wake na mĩhũmũ-rĩ,
If he set his heart vpon man, and gather vnto him selfe his spirit and his breath,
15 andũ othe mangĩthiranĩra hamwe, nake mũndũ acooke rũkũngũ-inĩ.
All flesh shall perish together, and man shall returne vnto dust.
16 “Akorwo ũrĩ mũndũ ũrĩ na ũtaũku-rĩ, igua ũhoro ũyũ; thikĩrĩria ũrĩa nguuga.
And if thou hast vnderstanding, heare this and hearken to the voyce of my wordes.
17 Mũndũ ũthũire kĩhooto-rĩ, no ahote gwathana? Ũrĩa ũrĩ kĩhooto, o Ũcio kĩhoti-rĩ, no ũmũtue mwĩhia?
Shal he that hateth iudgement, gouerne? and wilt thou iudge him wicked that is most iust?
18 Githĩ ti we wĩraga athamaki atĩrĩ, ‘Inyuĩ mũtirĩ kĩene,’ na akeera arĩa marĩ igweta atĩrĩ, ‘Inyuĩ mũrĩ aaganu,’
Wilt thou say vnto a King, Thou art wicked? or to princes, Ye are vngodly?
19 o ũcio ũtatĩagĩra anene maũthĩ, na ndendaga arĩa atongu gũkĩra arĩa athĩĩni, nĩgũkorwo othe nĩ wĩra wa moko make?
How much lesse to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, and regardeth not the rich, more then the poore? for they be all the worke of his handes.
20 Makuuaga o rĩmwe, o ũtukũ gatagatĩ; andũ mainainaga magakua; arĩa marĩ hinya meeheragio matahutĩtio nĩ guoko kwa mũndũ.
They shall die suddenly, and the people shalbe troubled at midnight, and they shall passe foorth and take away the mightie without hand.
21 “Maitho make maikaraga macũthĩrĩirie mĩthiĩre ya andũ; nĩonaga mĩthiĩre yao yothe.
For his eyes are vpon the wayes of man, and he seeth all his goings.
22 Gũtirĩ handũ harĩ nduma, kana handũ harĩ kĩĩruru kĩnene, hangĩĩhithwo nĩ arĩa meekaga ũũru.
There is no darkenesse nor shadowe of death, that the workers of iniquitie might be hid therein.
23 Mũrungu ndabatairio nĩgũthuthuuria ndeto cia andũ makĩria, atĩ nĩguo moke mbere yake maciirithio.
For he will not lay on man so much, that he should enter into iudgement with God.
24 Ahehenjaga arĩa marĩ ũhoti atekũũria mũndũ na akarũgamia andũ angĩ ithenya rĩao.
He shall breake the mightie without seeking, and shall set vp other in their stead.
25 Tondũ we nĩamenyaga maũndũ marĩa meekaga, amangʼaũranagia ũtukũ magathuthĩka.
Therefore shall he declare their works: he shall turne the night, and they shalbe destroyed.
26 Amaherithagĩria waganu wao makĩonagwo nĩ mũndũ o wothe,
He striketh them as wicked men in the places of the seers,
27 tondũ nĩmagarũrũkire magĩtiga kũmũrũmĩrĩra, na matirũmbũyagia njĩra yake o na ĩrĩkũ.
Because they haue turned backe from him, and would not consider all his wayes:
28 Nĩmatũmire kĩrĩro kĩa arĩa athĩĩni gĩkinye hau mbere yake, nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩigua kĩrĩro kĩa arĩa abatari.
So that they haue caused the voyce of the poore to come vnto him, and he hath heard the cry of the afflicted.
29 No rĩrĩ, angĩikara akirĩte-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩmũtua muhĩtia? Angĩhitha ũthiũ wake-rĩ, nũũ ũngĩmuona? Nowe arĩ igũrũ rĩa mũndũ na igũrũ rĩa rũrĩrĩ o ũndũ ũmwe,
And when he giueth quietnesse, who can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who can beholde him, whether it be vpon nations, or vpon a man onely?
30 nĩguo agirie mũndũ ũtarĩ na ũngai gwathana, amũgirie kũigĩra kĩrĩndĩ mĩtego.
Because the hypocrite doeth reigne, and because the people are snared.
31 “Korwo mũndũ no ere Mũrungu atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩnjĩhĩtie no ndikehia rĩngĩ.
Surely it appertaineth vnto God to say, I haue pardoned, I will not destroy.
32 Nduta menye ũrĩa itarahota kuona; ingĩkorwo nĩnjĩkĩte ũũru-rĩ, ndigacooka gwĩka ũguo rĩngĩ.’
But if I see not, teach thou me: if I haue done wickedly, I will doe no more.
33 Ngai-rĩ, no agĩkũrĩhe kũringana na ũrĩa wee ũkwenda rĩrĩa ũregete kwĩrira? No nginya we ũtue itua, no ti niĩ; nĩ ũndũ ũcio kĩnjĩĩre ũrĩa ũũĩ.
Wil he performe the thing through thee? for thou hast reproued it, because that thou hast chosen, and not I. now speake what thou knowest.
34 “Andũ arĩa marĩ na ũtaũku maroiga atĩrĩ, nao andũ acio oogĩ maiguĩte ngĩaria manjĩĩrĩte atĩrĩ,
Let men of vnderstanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken vnto me.
35 ‘Ayubu aaragia atarĩ na ũmenyo; ciugo ciake nĩciagĩte ũũgĩ.’
Iob hath not spoken of knowledge, neyther were his wordes according to wisedome.
36 Hĩ, naarĩ korwo Ayubu aagerio nginya mũthia, nĩ ũndũ macookio make nĩ ta ma mũndũ mwaganu!
I desire that Iob may be tryed, vnto the ende touching the answeres for wicked men.
37 Nĩongereire ũremi harĩ mehia make; atũhũũragĩra hĩ cia kĩnyũrũri, na akaingĩhia ciugo ciake cia gũũkĩrĩra Mũrungu.”
For he addeth rebellion vnto his sinne: he clappeth his handes among vs, and multiplieth his wordes against God.
