< Ayubu 1 >

1 Bũrũri-inĩ wa Uzu nĩ kwarĩ mũndũ watũire kuo wetagwo Ayubu. Mũndũ ũcio ndaarĩ ũcuuke ningĩ aarĩ mũndũ mũrũngĩrĩru; nĩetigĩrĩte Ngai na agatheemaga maũndũ marĩa mooru.
`A man, Joob bi name, was in the lond of Hus; and thilke man was symple, and riytful, and dredynge God, and goynge awey fro yuel.
2 Ayubu aarĩ na ariũ mũgwanja na airĩtu atatũ,
And seuene sones and thre douytris weren borun to hym;
3 ningĩ nĩ aarĩ na ngʼondu 7,000, na ngamĩĩra 3,000, na ndegwa cia kũigana kuohwo macooki 500, na ndigiri 500, na nĩ aarĩ na ndungata nyingĩ mũno. Nĩwe warĩ mũndũ ũrĩa mũnene mũno kũrĩ andũ arĩa angĩ othe a mwena wa Irathĩro.
and his possessioun was seuene thousynde of scheep, and thre thousynde of camels, and fyue hundrid yockis of oxis, and fyue hundrid of femal assis, and ful myche meynee; and `thilke man was grete among alle men of the eest.
4 Ariũ ake nĩmagĩaga na iruga o mũndũ riita rĩake gwake mũciĩ, na nĩmetaga aarĩ a nyina acio atatũ nĩguo marĩĩanĩre na manyuuanĩre nao.
And hise sones yeden, and maden feestis bi housis, ech man in his day; and thei senten, and clepiden her thre sistris, `that thei schulden ete, and drynke wiyn with hem.
5 Na matukũ ma maruga maathira, Ayubu nĩamatũmanagĩra moke nĩguo amatherie. Nĩokagĩra rũciinĩ tene akaruta igongona rĩa njino nĩ ũndũ wa o ũmwe wao, tondũ eeciiragia atĩrĩ, “No gũkorwo ciana ciakwa nĩciĩhĩtie ikaruma Ngai na ngoro.” Ũcio nĩguo warĩ mũtũgo wa Ayubu wa mahinda mothe.
And whanne the daies of feeste hadden passid in to the world, Joob sente to hem, and halewide hem, and he roos eerli, and offride brent sacrifices `bi alle. For he seide, Lest perauenture my sones do synne, and curse God in her hertis. Joob dide so in alle daies.
6 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũmwe araika nĩmathiire kũrũgama mbere ya Jehova, na Shaitani o nake agĩthiĩ hamwe nao.
Forsothe in sum day, whanne the sones of God `weren comun to be present bifor the Lord, also Sathan cam among hem.
7 Nake Jehova akĩũria Shaitani atĩrĩ, “Uuma kũ?” Nake Shaitani agĩcookeria Jehova atĩrĩ, “Nyuma kũriũnga thĩ, o na gũcangacanga kuo kũndũ na kũndũ.”
To whom the Lord seide, Fro whennus comest thou? Which answeride, and seide, Y haue cumpassid the erthe, and Y haue walkid thorouy it.
8 Ningĩ Jehova akĩũria Shaitani atĩrĩ, “Nĩũcũũranĩtie ũhoro wa ndungata yakwa Ayubu? Ũkoona atĩ kũu thĩ gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩ ũhaana take; ndarĩ ũcuuke na nĩmũrũngĩrĩru, mũndũ mwĩtigĩri-Ngai na ũtheemaga maũndũ marĩa mooru?”
And the Lord seide to hym, Whether thou hast biholde my seruaunt Joob, that noon in erthe is lyik hym; he is a symple man, and riytful, and dredynge God, and goynge awei fro yuel?
9 Shaitani agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ Ayubu agĩĩtigagĩra Ngai o ro ũguo tũhũ?
To whom Sathan answeride, Whether Joob dredith God veynli?
10 Githĩ wee ndũmũirigĩire na ũkamũrigiicĩria hamwe na nyũmba yake, o hamwe na maũndũ make mothe? Nĩũrathimĩte wĩra wa moko make, nĩ ũndũ ũcio ũhiũ wake na ndũũru ciake ciyũrĩte bũrũri wothe.
Whethir thou hast not cumpassid hym, and his hows, and al his catel bi cumpas? Thou hast blessid the werkis of hise hondis, and hise possessioun encreesside in erthe.
11 No rĩrĩ, ta tambũrũkia guoko gwaku ũhutie indo ciothe iria arĩ nacio, na ti-itherũ ndarĩ hĩndĩ ategũkũruma o ũthiũ-inĩ waku.”
But stretche forth thin hond a litil, and touche thou alle thingis whiche he hath in possessioun; if he cursith not thee `in the face, `bileue not to me.
12 Jehova akĩĩra Shaitani atĩrĩ, “No wega, indo ciothe iria arĩ nacio nĩndaciiga moko-inĩ maku, nowe mwene ndũkanamũhutie.” Nake Shaitani akiuma hau mbere ya Jehova.
Therfor the Lord seide to Sathan, Lo! alle thingis, whiche he hath, ben in thin hond; oneli stretche thou not forth thin hond in to hym. And Sathan yede out fro the face of the Lord.
13 Na rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũmwe hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ariũ na aarĩ a Ayubu maarĩĩaga na makanyua ndibei kwa mũrũ wa nyina wao ũrĩa mũkũrũ-rĩ,
Sotheli whanne in sum dai `hise sones and douytris eeten, and drunken wiyn in the hows of her firste gendrid brothir,
14 mũkinyia-ũhoro agĩkora Ayubu, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndegwa nĩkũrĩma ikũrĩmaga na mĩraũ, nacio ndigiri ikũrĩĩaga o hau hakuhĩ,
a messanger cam to Job, `whiche messanger seide, Oxis eriden, and femal assis `weren lesewid bisidis tho;
15 nao andũ a Sabea macitharĩkĩra na macitaha. Ndungata nacio maciũraga na rũhiũ rwa njora, na no niĩ nyiki ndahonoka, ndagĩũka gũkũrehere ũhoro!”
and Sabeis felden yn, and token awey alle thingis, and `smytiden the children with swerd; and Y aloone ascapide for to telle to thee.
16 O akĩaragia-rĩ, mũkinyia-ũhoro ũngĩ agĩũka, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwaki wa Ngai uumire na igũrũ na wacina ngʼondu o na ndungata waniina biũ; no niĩ nyiki ndahonoka, ndagĩũka gũkũrehere ũhoro!”
And whanne he spak yit, anothir cam, and seide, Fier of God cam doun fro heuene, and wastide scheep, and `children touchid; and Y aloone ascapide for to telle `to thee.
17 O akĩaragia-rĩ, mũkinyia-ũhoro ũngĩ agĩũka, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Akalidei meyũmba mbũtũ ithatũ, maatharĩkĩra ngamĩĩra ciaku na macitaha, maathiĩ nacio. Ndungata nacio maciũraga na rũhiũ rwa njora; na no niĩ nyiki ndahonoka, ndagĩũka gũkũrehere ũhoro!”
But yit the while he spak, also anothir cam, and seide, Caldeis maden thre cumpenyes, and assailiden the camels, and token tho awei, and thei smytiden `also the children with swerd; and Y aloone ascapide to telle to thee.
18 O akĩaragia-rĩ, mũkinyia-ũhoro o ũngĩ agĩũka, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ariũ na aarĩ aku mekũrĩĩaga, makĩnyuuaga ndibei kwa mũrũ wa nyina wao ũrĩa mũkũrũ;
And yit he spak, and, lo! anothir entride, and seide, While thi sones and douytris eeten, and drunken wiyn in the hows of her firste gendrid brothir,
19 na rĩrĩ, o hĩndĩ ĩyo rũhuho rũnene rwahurutana ruumĩte werũ-inĩ, na ruo rwahũũra nyũmba ĩyo koine ciayo inya, yamomoka, yamagwĩra maakua; na no niĩ nyiki ndahonoka, ndagĩũka gũkũrehere ũhoro!”
a greet wynde felde yn sudenli fro the coost of desert, and schook foure corneris of the hows, `which felde doun, and oppresside thi children, and thei ben deed; and Y aloone fledde to telle to thee.
20 Nake Ayubu aigua-ũhoro ũcio, akĩrũgama, agĩtembũranga nguo yake ya igũrũ, na akĩenjwo mũtwe. Agĩcooka akĩĩgũithia thĩ, akĩhooya Ngai,
Thanne Joob roos, and to-rente hise clothis, and `with pollid heed he felde doun on the erthe, and worschipide God,
21 akiuga atĩrĩ: “Ndoimire nda ya maitũ ndĩ njaga, na ngoima thĩ ĩno ndĩ njaga. Nĩ Jehova waheanire, na nĩ Jehova wacookera: rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova rĩrogoocwo.”
and seide, Y yede nakid out of the wombe of my modir, Y schal turne ayen nakid thidur; the Lord yaf, the Lord took awei; as it pleside the Lord, so `it is doon; the name of the Lord be blessid.
22 Thĩinĩ wa maũndũ macio mothe-rĩ, Ayubu ndaigana kwĩhia na ũndũ wa gũtuĩra Ngai mahĩtia.
In alle these thingis Joob synnede not in hise lippis, nether spak ony fonned thing ayens God.
