Ayubu 35
1 Ningĩ Elihu akiuga atĩrĩ:
And Elihu answers and says:
2 “Nĩũgwĩciiria ũhoro ũyũ nĩ wa kĩhooto? Ũroiga atĩrĩ, ‘Mũrungu nĩekũnjarĩrĩria atue ndiĩhĩtie.’
“Have you reckoned this for judgment [when] you have said, My righteousness [is] more than God’s?
3 No rĩrĩ, wee no ũramũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Kũrĩ na uumithio ũrĩkũ harĩ niĩ, na ngũgunĩka nakĩ ndaaga kwĩhia?’
For you say, What does it profit You? What do I profit from my sin?
4 “No nyende gũgũcookeria ũhoro, wee hamwe na arata aku.
I return words, and your friends with you,
5 Ta rora igũrũ wone; ta cũthĩrĩria matu macio marĩ igũrũ rĩaku kũraya mũno.
Behold attentively the heavens—and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than you.
6 Ũngĩĩhia-rĩ, ũndũ ũcio ũngĩhutia Ngai atĩa? Mehia maku mangĩingĩha mũno-rĩ, ũndũ ũcio ũngĩmwĩka atĩa?
If you have sinned, what do you do against Him? And your transgressions have been multiplied, What do you do to Him?
7 Ũngĩkorwo ũrĩ mũthingu-rĩ, ũngĩmũhe kĩĩ, kana nĩ kĩĩ aamũkagĩra kuuma guoko-inĩ gwaku?
If you have been righteous, What do you give to Him? Or what does He receive from your hand?
8 Waganu waku ũhutagia o mũndũ tawe, na ũthingu waku ũkahutia o ciana cia andũ.
For a man like yourself [is] your wickedness, And for a son of man your righteousness.
9 “Andũ makayaga nĩ icooki rĩa kũhinyĩrĩrio; mathaithanaga mateithũrwo guoko-inĩ kwa ũcio ũrĩ hinya mũingĩ.
Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty.
10 No gũtirĩ mũndũ uugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Ngai ũrĩa wanyũũmbire arĩ ha, ũrĩa ũheaga mũndũ nyĩmbo ũtukũ,
And none said, Where [is] God my Maker? Giving songs in the night,
11 ũrĩa ũtũrutaga maũndũ gũkĩra ũrĩa arutaga nyamũ cia werũ-inĩ, o na agatũhe ũũgĩ gũkĩra nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ?’
Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Indeed, He makes us wiser than the bird of the heavens.
12 Ndacookagia rĩrĩa andũ maakaya nĩ ũndũ wa mwĩtũũgĩrio wa andũ arĩa aaganu.
There they cry, and He does not answer, Because of the pride of evildoers.
13 Ti-itherũ, Mũrungu ndathikagĩrĩria mathaithana mao ma tũhũ; ũcio Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ndarũmbũyagia mathaithana macio.
Surely God does not hear vanity, And the Mighty does not behold it.
14 Githĩ ndakaaga gũthikĩrĩria mũno makĩria rĩrĩa ũkuuga atĩ ndũramuona, na atĩ ciira waku ũrĩ mbere yake, na no nginya ũmweterere,
Indeed, though you say you do not behold Him, Judgment [is] before Him, and stays for Him.
15 na makĩria ma ũguo ũkoiga atĩ marakara make matiherithanagia na ndarũmbũyagia waganu o na hanini!
And now, because there is not, He has appointed His anger, And He has not known in great extremity.
16 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ayubu atumũrĩte kanua gake akaaria ũhoro wa tũhũ; nĩarĩĩtie ndeto nyingĩ atarĩ na ũmenyo.”
And Job opens his mouth [with] vanity, He multiplies words without knowledge.”
