Job 26

1 But Job answered and said,

Ningĩ Ayubu agĩcookia atĩrĩ:

2 How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?

“Kaĩ ũrĩ gũteithia ũrĩa ũtarĩ na ũhoti-ĩ! Kaĩ ũrĩ kũhonokia guoko kũrĩa gũtarĩ na hinya-ĩ!

3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou abundantly declared the thing as it is?

Kaĩ ũrĩ gũtaara mũndũ ũtarĩ na ũũgĩ-ĩ! Na atĩrĩ, kaĩ nĩwonanĩtie ũmenyo mũnene-ĩ!

4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?

Nũũ wagũteithia kwaria ciugo icio? Na nĩ roho waũ waria na kanua gaku?

5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and its inhabitants.

“Arĩa akuũ marĩ na ruo rũnene, o acio marĩ rungu rwa maaĩ na kĩrĩa gĩothe gĩtũũraga kuo.

6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. (Sheol h7585)

Gĩkuũ nĩkĩguũranie mbere ya Ngai; mwanangĩko ũikarĩte ũtarĩ mũhumbĩre. (Sheol h7585)

7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

Atambũrũkagia matu ma mwena wa gathigathini igũrũ rĩa kũndũ gũtarĩ kĩndũ; nayo thĩ ndarĩ kĩndũ amĩcunjurĩtie nakĩo.

8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not torn under them.

Athayaga maaĩ thĩinĩ wa matu make, no matu macio matingĩtembũrwo nĩ ũritũ wamo.

9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.

Ahumbagĩra ũthiũ wa mweri rĩrĩa waiganana, agatambũrũkia matu make igũrũ rĩaguo.

10 He hath surrounded the waters with a border, until the day and night come to an end.

Nĩekĩrĩte rũkiriri igũrũ rĩa maaĩ, rũkahakania ũtheri na nduma.

11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.

Itugĩ iria itiirĩrĩire igũrũ nĩ ithingithaga, ikagegearaga nĩ ũndũ wa ikũũmana rĩake.

12 He divideth the sea by his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.

Nĩoirugire maaĩ ma iria na ũndũ wa hinya wake; na nĩ ũndũ wa ũũgĩ wake nĩatinaangirie Rahabu tũcunjĩ.

13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

Mĩhũmũ yake nĩyo yathakaririe igũrũ; guoko gwake nĩ gwatheecire nyoka ĩrĩa ĩnyororokaga na ihenya.

14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?

Atĩrĩrĩ, ĩno no mĩthia ya mawĩra make; kaĩ no kamũheehũ kanini tũiguaga ka ũhoro wake-ĩ! Nũũ ũngĩgĩtaũkĩrwo nĩ marurumĩ ma ũhoti wake?”
