Ayubu 36
1 Elihu agĩthiĩ na mbere kwaria, akiuga atĩrĩ:
Elihu also proceeded and sayde,
2 “Ngirĩrĩria hanini, na nĩngũkuonia atĩ harĩ maũndũ mangĩ mangiugwo ma gũciirĩrĩra Ngai.
Suffer me a litle, and I will instruct thee: for I haue yet to speake on Gods behalfe.
3 Ũmenyo wakwa ndĩũrutĩte kũraihu; niĩ ngũtũũgĩria kĩhooto kĩa ũcio Mũnyũũmbi.
I will fetche my knowledge afarre off, and will attribute righteousnes vnto my Maker.
4 Menya wega atĩ ndeto ciakwa ti cia maheeni; ũyũ mũrĩ nake arĩ na ũmenyo mũkinyanĩru.
For truely my wordes shall not be false, and he that is perfect in knowledge, speaketh with thee.
5 “Mũrungu nĩwe mwene hinya, no ndairaga andũ; we nĩ mwene hinya, na nĩarũmagia muoroto wake.
Behold, the mighty God casteth away none that is mighty and valiant of courage.
6 Ndatũũragia arĩa aaganu muoyo, no nĩaheaga arĩa anyariire kĩhooto kĩao.
He mainteineth not the wicked, but he giueth iudgement to the afflicted.
7 Ndeheragia maitho make harĩ arĩa athingu; amaikaragĩria gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene hamwe na athamaki, na akamatũũgĩria nginya tene.
He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous, but they are with Kings in ye throne, where he placeth them for euer: thus they are exalted.
8 No rĩrĩ, andũ mangĩkorwo mohetwo na mĩnyororo, makanyiitio na mĩhĩndo ya mĩnyamaro,
And if they bee bound in fetters and tyed with the cordes of affliction,
9 we nĩameeraga ũrĩa mekĩte, atĩ mehĩtie na ũtũrĩka.
Then will he shewe them their worke and their sinnes, because they haue bene proude.
10 We nĩatũmaga mathikĩrĩrie ũtaaro, na akamaatha merire ũũru wao.
He openeth also their eare to discipline, and commandeth them that they returne from iniquity.
11 Mangĩmwathĩkĩra na mamũtungatĩre, megũtũũra matukũ mao marĩa matigaru magaacĩire, na mĩaka yao o maiganĩire.
If they obey and serue him, they shall end their dayes in prosperity, and their yeres in pleasures.
12 No mangĩaga kũigua, nĩmakaniinwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, na makue matarĩ na ũmenyo.
But if they wil not obey, they shall passe by the sworde, and perish without knowledge.
13 “Arĩa matarĩ na Ngai ngoro-inĩ meiigagĩra marakara; o na rĩrĩa aramooha na mĩnyororo, matikayaga mateithio.
But the hypocrites of heart increase the wrath: for they call not when he bindeth them.
14 Makuuaga marĩ ethĩ, magakua hamwe na arũme arĩa maraya ma mahooero-inĩ.
Their soule dyeth in youth, and their life among the whoremongers.
15 No arĩa mathĩĩnĩkaga, nĩamakũũraga kuuma thĩĩna-inĩ wao; nĩamaragĩria marĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ.
He deliuereth the poore in his affliction, and openeth their eare in trouble.
16 “We-rĩ, nĩarakũguucĩrĩria uume magego-inĩ ma mĩnyamaro, agũtware handũ haariĩ hatarĩ na ũkunderu, na agũtware akũhurũkie metha-inĩ yaku ĩiyũrĩte irio iria njega.
Euen so woulde he haue taken thee out of the streight place into a broade place and not shut vp beneath: and that which resteth vpon thy table, had bene full of fat.
17 No rĩu-rĩ, ũtitikithĩtio ituĩro rĩrĩa rĩagĩrĩire arĩa aaganu; ituĩro rĩa ciira na kĩhooto nĩcigũkumbatĩte.
But thou art ful of the iudgement of the wicked, though iudgement and equitie maintaine all things.
18 Wĩmenyerere mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ ndakanakũheenererie na ũtonga; ndũgetĩkĩrie ihaki inene rĩkũhĩtithie njĩra.
For Gods wrath is, least hee should take that away in thine abundance: for no multitude of giftes can deliuer thee.
19 Ũtonga waku o na kana kĩyo gĩaku kĩnene-rĩ, no ikũnyiitĩrĩre nĩguo ndũgatoonye mĩnyamaro-inĩ?
Wil he regard thy riches? he regardeth not golde, nor all them that excel in strength.
20 Tiga kwĩrirĩria ũtukũ, nĩguo ũguucũrũrie andũ kuuma kwao mĩciĩ.
Be not carefull in the night, howe he destroyeth the people out of their place.
21 Wĩmenyerere ndũkeerekere ũũru-inĩ, tondũ ũkuoneka taarĩ guo wendete gũkĩra gũthĩĩnĩka.
Take thou heede: looke not to iniquitie: for thou hast chosen it rather then affliction.
22 “Mũrungu nĩatũgĩrĩtio nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoti wake. Nũũ mũrutani take?
Beholde, God exalteth by his power: what teacher is like him?
23 Nũũ ũmwathĩrĩire njĩra ciake, kana akamwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Wee nĩwĩkĩte ũũru’?
Who hath appointed to him his way? or who can say, Thou hast done wickedly?
24 Ririkanaga gwĩkĩrĩra wĩra wake, ũrĩa andũ manakumia na rwĩmbo.
Remember that thou magnifie his worke, which men behold.
25 Andũ othe nĩmawonete; andũ mawĩroragĩra marĩ o kũraya.
All men see it, and men beholde it afarre off.
26 Ĩ Mũrungu ndakĩrĩ mũnene; nĩ mũnene gũkĩra ũmenyi witũ! Mũigana wa mĩaka yake ndũngĩtuĩrĩka.
Beholde, God is excellent, and we knowe him not, neither can the nomber of his yeres bee searched out.
27 “Ambatagia matata ma maaĩ, marĩa macookaga gũtaatĩra tũrũũĩ ta mbura;
When he restraineth the droppes of water, the rayne powreth down by the vapour thereof,
28 matu magaita ũigũ wamo, nayo mbura nyingĩ ĩkoirĩra andũ.
Which raine the cloudes do droppe and let fall abundantly vpon man.
29 Nũũ ũngĩmenya ũrĩa atambũrũkagia matu, kana ũhoro wa marurumĩ marĩa moimaga hema-inĩ yake?
Who can know the diuisions of ye clouds and the thunders of his tabernacle?
30 Kĩone ũrĩa ahurunjaga rũheni rwake rũkamũthiũrũrũkĩria, agathambia iria kũrĩa kũriku.
Beholde, he spreadeth his light vpon it, and couereth the bottome of the sea.
31 Ũũ nĩguo aathaga ndũrĩrĩ na akaheana irio nyingĩ.
For thereby hee iudgeth the people, and giueth meate abundantly.
32 Akumbatagĩria rũheni na moko make, na akarwatha rũringe kĩrĩa kĩorotetwo.
He couereth the light with the clouds, and commandeth them to go against it.
33 Marurumĩ make nĩmanagĩrĩra kĩhuhũkanio kĩrĩa kĩroka; o na ngʼombe nĩimenyithanagia atĩ kũrĩ kĩhuhũkanio kĩroka.
His companion sheweth him thereof, and there is anger in rising vp.
