Job 4
1 Hahoi Teman tami Eliphaz ni ahni koe bout a dei e teh,
Wasephendula u-Elifazi umThemani wathi:
2 nang koe lawk kam touh ka dei haw vai, na thaima han vaimoe. Hatei apinimaw dei laipalah ao thai han.
“Nxa umuntu angaphosa ilizwi nje kuwe uzacunuka na? Kodwa ngubani ongathula angakhulumi na?
3 Tami moikapap na cangkhai toe. Kut tha kaawm hoeh e tha na o sak.
Khumbula ukuthi sewabafundisa njani abanengi, ukuthi ubaqinise njani abalezandla ezibuthakathaka.
4 Na lawk ni karawmnaw hah a thaw sak teh, khokpakhu tha kaawm hoeh e tha ao sak.
Amazwi akho abasekele labo abakhubekayo; uwaqinisile amadolo axegayo.
5 Hateiteh, atu nama koe a pha teh, na lung sut a pout. Na tek teh, na ngaihmang.
Kodwa manje uhlupho luze kuwe, usuphela amandla; lukutshaya ubusudela ithemba.
6 Na barilawa e hoi na kâuepkhai e nahoehmaw, kakuep e lamthung hah na ngaihawi e nahoehmaw.
Kungani ukukholwa kwakho kungabi yiso isibindi sakho na lezindlela zakho ezimsulwa zibe lithemba lakho na?
7 Atu pouk haw, kayonhoehe apimaw kahmakata boi vai. Hat hoehpawiteh, tamikalan hah nâmaw tâkhawng e lah ao boi.
Khumbula manje: Ngubani owathi engelacala wabhubha na? Kungaphi lapho abaqotho abake babhujiswa khona na?
8 Kahmanae dawkvah payonpakainae, talai kanawk teh runae ka tu e ni doeh ouk a a.
Ngokubona kwami labo abalima okubi lalabo abahlanyela ububi bavuna bona.
9 Cathut e kâha dawk a kahma awh teh, a lungkhueknae kâha dawk be a kak awh.
Ngokuphefumula kukaNkulunkulu bayabhubha; ngokukhwaza kolaka lwakhe bayafa.
10 Sendek huk e pawlawk hoi, ka matheng poung e sendektan kanaw e a hâ hah a kâkhoe.
Izilwane zingabhonga zihwabhe, kodwa amazinyo ezilwane ezinkulu ayephuka.
11 Ca hane ao hoeh dawkvah Sendek matawngnaw a kamlum teh, Sendek manu e a canaw teh koung kâkapek awh.
Isilwane siyafa ngokuswela ukudla besekuthi imidlwane yesilwanekazi ihlakazeke.
12 Atu arulahoi kai koe lawk a pha teh, ka hnâ ni arulahoi pouk e hah a thai.
Kulethwe ilizwi kimi ngasese, indlebe zami zilizwile linyenyezwa.
13 Karoumcalah a i awh lahun navah, karum vah vision hah pouk lahun navah,
Phakathi kwamaphupho adungayo ebusuku, lapho abantu belele obukabhuka,
14 Takinae hoi pâyawnae kai koe a pha. Ka hrunaw pueng koung kâhlehlawk sak e han,
ukwesaba lokuthuthumela kwangifikela kwenza wonke amathambo ami aqhaqhazela.
15 Hottelah muitha teh, ka hmalah a kâhlai teh, ka muen rueng a thaw.
Kwathi tshazi umoya emehlweni ami, wahlasimula umzimba wami lenwele zami zema.
16 Hote muitha hah a kangdue teh, ka kamnuek e hah kapek thai hoeh. Ka mithmu vah hno buet touh a kamnue, duem ao teh lawk hah ka thai.
Umoya lowo wema, kodwa kangikwazanga ukuthi kuyini. Kwakumi into phambi kwamehlo ami, ngasengisizwa ilizwi elihelezayo:
17 Ka dout thai e tami heh, Cathut hlak vah a lan thai maw, tami heh kasakkung hlak vah a thoung thai na maw.
‘Kambe umuntu angalunga ukwedlula uNkulunkulu na? Umuntu angahlanzeka kuloMenzi wakhe na?
18 A sannaw patenghai kâuepkhai hoeh niteh, kalvantaminaw hai na payon tet pouh pawiteh,
Nxa uNkulunkulu engazethembi izinceku zakhe, nxa ebeka izingilosi zakhe umlandu ngokona,
19 amhru im dawk kho ka sak niteh, a kungpui teh, vaiphu lah ao teh, ahnimanaw teh, khakbara ni patenghai a tâ thai e hah bangtelamaw hoe a yuem thai han.
pho-ke kuzakuba njani kulabo abahlala ezindlini zodaka, ozisekelo zazo zisothulini, abahlifizeka lula njengenondo!
20 Amon hoi tangmin totouh katipcalah a kâbawng teh, apinihai tek laipalah a yungyoe a kahma awh.
Phakathi kokusa lokuhlwa bayabhidlizwa babe yizicucu; bengananzwa langubani, bayabhubha kokuphela.
21 Ahawi poungnae naw hai koung takhoe lah ao teh, lungangnae awm laipalah be a due awh telah atipouh.
Izintambo zamatende abo kazidonswa na, bafe bengelalwazi?’”
