Ayubu 42
1 Ningĩ Ayubu agĩcookeria Jehova, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ:
Then Job answered the LORD:
2 “Nĩnjũũĩ atĩ wahota gwĩka maũndũ mothe; gũtirĩ mũbango waku ũngĩgirĩrĩka.
“I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.
3 Nĩworirie atĩrĩ, ‘Nũũ ũyũ ũrahithania kĩrĩra gĩakwa nĩ kwaga ũmenyo?’ Ti-itherũ ndaaririe maũndũ itaamenyete, maũndũ ma magegania itangĩmenya.
You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
4 “Woigire atĩrĩ, ‘Thikĩrĩria rĩu, na niĩ njarie; nĩngũkũũria ciũria, nawe nĩũkũnjookeria.’
You said, ‘Listen, now, and I will speak; I will question you, and you will answer me.’
5 Matũ makwa nĩmaiguĩte ũhoro waku no rĩu maitho makwa nĩgũkuona makuonete.
I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you.
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngwĩmena niĩ mwene, na ndĩrire, ndĩhurĩrie rũkũngũ na mũhu.”
Therefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”
7 Thuutha wa Jehova kwĩra Ayubu maũndũ macio-rĩ, nĩerire Elifazu ũrĩa Mũtemaani atĩrĩ, “Nĩndakarĩtio nĩwe na arata aku eerĩ, tondũ mũtiarĩtie ũhoro wakwa ũrĩa wagĩrĩire, ta ũrĩa ndungata yakwa Ayubu ĩĩkĩte.
It was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.
8 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, rĩu oyai ndegwa mũgwanja na ndũrũme mũgwanja, mũthiĩ kũrĩ ndungata yakwa Ayubu, mũkarute igongona rĩa njino nĩ ũndũ wanyu inyuĩ ene. Ndungata yakwa Ayubu nĩĩkamũhoera, na niĩ nĩngetĩkĩra mahooya make, na ndikamwĩka kũringana na ũrimũ wanyu. Mũtiarĩtie ũhoro wakwa ũrĩa wagĩrĩire ta ũrĩa ndungata yakwa Ayubu ĩĩkĩte.”
Now therefore, take to yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will accept him, that I not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.”
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Elifazu ũrĩa Mũtemaani, na Bilidadi ũrĩa Mũshuhi, na Zofaru ũrĩa Mũnaamathi magĩĩka o ta ũrĩa Jehova aameerire; nake Jehova nĩetĩkĩrire ihooya rĩa Ayubu.
So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did what the LORD commanded them, and the LORD accepted Job.
10 Thuutha wa Ayubu kũhoera arata ake-rĩ, Jehova nĩamũcookeirie ũtonga wake na akĩmũhe maita meerĩ ma indo iria aarĩ nacio mbere.
The LORD restored Job’s prosperity when he prayed for his friends. The LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11 Ariũ na aarĩ a nyina othe, na mũndũ o wothe wamũũĩ mbere, magĩũka makĩrĩĩanĩra nake mũciĩ gwake, nao makĩmũhooreria na makĩmũcakaithia nĩ ũndũ wa mathĩĩna marĩa mothe Jehova aamũreheire. Andũ acio o mũndũ akĩmũhe gĩcunjĩ kĩa betha na gĩcũhĩ gĩa thahabu.
Then all his brothers, all his sisters, and all those who had been of his acquaintance before, came to him and ate bread with him in his house. They comforted him, and consoled him concerning all the evil that the LORD had brought on him. Everyone also gave him a piece of money, and everyone a ring of gold.
12 Jehova nĩarathimire matukũ ma mũthia ma muoyo wa Ayubu gũkĩra marĩa ma mbere. Nĩaagĩire na ngʼondu 14,000, na ngamĩĩra 6,000, na ndegwa cia kuohwo macooki 1,000, na ndigiri 1,000.
So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.
13 Nĩacookire akĩgĩa na aanake mũgwanja na airĩtu atatũ.
He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14 Mwarĩ wa mbere aamũtuire Jemima, na wa keerĩ aamũtuire Kezia, nake wa gatatũ akĩmũtua Kereni-Hapuku.
He called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren Happuch.
15 Gũtirĩ handũ o na ha bũrũri-inĩ wothe hangĩonekire andũ-a-nja athaka ta airĩtu a Ayubu, nake ithe wao akĩmahe igai hamwe na ariũ a nyina.
In all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job. Their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
16 Thuutha wa maũndũ macio-rĩ, Ayubu nĩatũũrire mĩaka igana rĩa mĩrongo ĩna; akĩona ciana ciake na akĩona ciana ciacio, nginya rũciaro rwa kana.
After this Job lived one hundred forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, to four generations.
17 Nake agĩkua arĩ mũkũrũ, na arĩ na mĩaka mĩingĩ.
So Job died, being old and full of days.
