Ayubu 37
1 “Ndaigua ũguo ngoro yakwa ĩgatumatuuma, na ĩkambarara ĩkoima handũ hayo.
At this my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place.
2 Thikĩrĩria! Thikĩrĩria mũraramo wa mũgambo wake, mũrurumo ũrĩa uumaga kanua gake.
Hear ye attentively the terror of his voice, and the sound that cometh out of his mouth.
3 Arekagĩrĩria rũheni rwake rungu rwa igũrũ guothe na akarũtũma nginya ituri cia thĩ.
He beholdeth under all the heavens, and his light is upon the ends of the earth.
4 Thuutha waruo gũũkaga mũgambo wa mũraramo wake; arurumaga na mũgambo wake mũkaru. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũgambo wake waiguuo-rĩ, ndarigagĩrĩria heni.
After it a noise shall roar, he shall thunder with the voice of his majesty, and shall not be found out, when his voice shall be heard.
5 Mũgambo wa Mũrungu ũrurumaga na njĩra ya magegania; ekaga maũndũ manene tũtangĩhota kũmenya.
God shall thunder wonderfully with his voice, he that doth great and unsearchable things.
6 Eeraga tharunji atĩrĩ, ‘Gwa thĩ,’ nayo mbura ya rũthuthuũ akamĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Tuĩka mbura nene.’
He commandeth the snow to go down upon the earth, and the winter rain, and the shower of his strength.
7 Nĩatigithagia mũndũ o wothe wĩra wake nĩgeetha andũ othe ombĩte mamenye wĩra wake.
He sealeth up the hand of all men, that every one may know his works.
8 Nyamũ nacio nĩciĩhithaga; ciikaraga imamo-inĩ ciacio.
Then the beast shall go into his covert, and shall abide in his den.
9 Kĩhuhũkanio kiumaga gĩikaro gĩakĩo, heho nayo ĩkoima rũhuho-inĩ rũkĩhurutana.
Out of the inner parts shall a tempest come, and cold out of the north.
10 Mĩhũmũ ya Mũrungu nĩĩthondekaga mbarabu, namo maaĩ harĩa maaramĩire makanyiitana.
When God bloweth there cometh frost, and again the waters are poured out abundantly.
11 Nĩaiyũragia matu na ũigũ; ahurunjaga rũheni rũkamatũrĩkia.
Corn desireth clouds, and the clouds spread their light:
12 Mathiiaga magĩthiũrũrũkaga o kũrĩa angĩmeerekeria thĩ yothe, mageeke o ũrĩa wothe angĩmaatha.
Which go round about, whithersoever the will of him that governeth them shall lead them, to whatsoever he shall command them upon the face of the whole earth:
13 Arehaga matu macio nĩguo aherithie andũ, kana aihũgie thĩ yake na onanie wendani wake.
Whether in one tribe, or in his own land, or in what place soever of his mercy he shall command them to be found.
14 “Ayubu, thikĩrĩria ũhoro ũyũ; tithĩria hau wĩcũũranie ũhoro wa magegania ma Mũrungu.
Hearken to these things, Job: Stand, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Wee nĩũũĩ ũrĩa Ngai aathaga matu, na ũrĩa atũmaga rũheni rwake rũhenũke?
Dost thou know when God commanded the rains, to shew his light of his clouds?
16 Wee nĩũũĩ ũrĩa matu macio macuurĩtio wega, magegania macio ma ũrĩa ũrĩ ũmenyo mũkinyanĩru?
Knowest thou the great paths of the clouds, and the perfect knowledges?
17 Wee ũringĩkaga nĩ ũrugarĩ wa nguo ciaku rĩrĩa bũrũri ũkirĩte ki hĩndĩ ya rũhuho rwa gũthini-rĩ,
Are not thy garments hot, when the south wind blows upon the earth?
18 no ũhote kũruta wĩra nake ũhoro-inĩ wa gũtambũrũkia matu mairũ, o macio momĩte o ta gĩcicio gĩa gĩcango?
Thou perhaps hast made the heavens with him, which are most strong, as if they were of molten brass.
19 “Ta twĩre ũrĩa twagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũmwĩra; tũtingĩhota gwĩciirĩra nĩ ũndũ wa nduma iitũ.
Shew us what we may say to him: for we are wrapped up in darkness.
20 Nĩagĩrĩire kwĩrwo atĩ nĩngwenda kwaria? Nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ o na ũ ũngiuga amerio?
Who shall tell him the things I speak? even if a man shall speak, he shall be swallowed up.
21 Rĩu-rĩ, gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩhota kũrora riũa, rĩcangararĩte kũu igũrũ thuutha wakuo kũhaatwo nĩ rũhuho gũgathera.
But now they see not the light: the air on a sudden shall be thickened into clouds, and the wind shall pass and drive them away.
22 Okaga kuuma mwena wa gathigathini arĩ na riiri ukengeete ta wa thahabu; Ngai okaga arĩ na ũkaru wa gwĩtigĩrwo.
Cold cometh out of the north, and to God praise with fear.
23 Ũcio Mwene-Hinya-Wothe-rĩ, tũtingĩhota kũmũkinyĩra, nĩatũũgĩrĩtio nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoti wake; tondũ wa ũrĩa arĩ wa kĩhooto na ũthingu mũnene-rĩ, ndahinyanagĩrĩria.
We cannot find him worthily: he is great in strength, and in judgment, and in justice, and he is ineffable.
24 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ nĩmamũtĩĩte, tondũ githĩ ndarũmbũyagia arĩa meyonaga ta marĩ oogĩ na ngoro ciao?”
Therefore men shall fear him, and all that seem to themselves to be wise, shall not dare to behold him.
