Nilifanya agano na macho yangu; Basi nawezaje kumwangalia msichana? Ayabu 31:1

"I made a covenant with my eyes, How then should I look lustfully at a young woman?

Kwani sehemu ya Mungu itokayo juu ingekuwa nini, Na urithi wa Mwenyezi utokao juu? Ayabu 31:2

(Let me be weighed in an even balance, That God may know my integrity);

Ndipo hapo mke wangu na asage kwa mwingine, Na wengine na wainame juu yake. Ayabu 31:10

Kwa kuwa ni moto uteketezao hata Uharibifu, Nao ungeyang'oa maongeo yangu yote. Ayabu 31:12

Basi Mungu atakapoinuka nitafanya nini? Naye atakapozuru, nitamjibuje? Ayabu 31:14

What then shall I do when God rises up? When he visits, what shall I answer him?

Je! Huyo aliyenifanya mimi ndani ya tumbo, siye aliyemfanya na yeye? Si yeye mmoja aliyetufinyanga tumboni? Ayabu 31:15

If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering;

Ikiwa viuno vyake havikunibarikia, Au kama hakupata moto kwa manyoya ya kondoo zangu; Ayabu 31:20

If his heart hasn't blessed me, If he hasn't been warmed with my sheep's fleece;

Ikiwa nimewainulia mayatima mkono, Nilipoona msaada wangu langoni; Ayabu 31:21

Kama nililitazama jua lilipoangaza, Au mwezi ukiendelea katika kung'aa; Ayabu 31:26

If I have seen the sun when it shined, Or the moon moving in splendor,

Na moyo wangu umeshawishwa kwa siri, Na midomo yangu imeubusu mkono wangu; Ayabu 31:27

Hilo nalo lingekuwa uovu wa kuadhibiwa na waamuzi; Kwani ningemwambia uongo Mungu aliye juu. Ayabu 31:28

Kwa sababu niliwaogopa mkutano mkubwa, Na dharau la jamaa lilinitia hofu, Hata nilinyamaa kimya, nisitoke mlangoni- Ayabu 31:34

Because I feared the great multitude, And the contempt of families terrified me, So that I kept silence, and didn't go out of the door--

Miiba na imee badala ya ngano, Na magugu badala ya shayiri. Maneno ya Ayubu yamekoma hapa. Ayabu 31:40

Let briars grow instead of wheat, And stinkweed instead of barley." The words of Job are ended.
