Ayub 23
1 Eka Ayub nodwoko niya,
Wasephendula uJobe wathi:
2 “Kata kawuono pod aywagora ka an gi chuny malit; nikech kum mapek ma Nyasaye oketo kuoma miya achur ka an gi rem malich.
Lalamuhla isikhalazo sami silokubaba; isandla sami sinzima phezu kokububula kwami.
3 Ka dine bed ni angʼeyo kuma dayudie Nyasaye; kendo kata dabed ni anyalo dhi nyaka kuma odakie;
Kungathi ngabe ngiyazi lapho engingamthola khona! Bengingeza enkundleni yakhe!
4 to dine aterone ywakna, kendo anyise gik mopongʼo chunya,
Ngibeke kuhle udaba lwami phambi kwakhe, ngigcwalise umlomo wami ngokuphikisa.
5 mondo afweny gima doduoka kendo angʼe gima onyalo wacho.
Bengingawazi amazwi azangiphendula ngawo, ngiqedisise azakutsho kimi.
6 Bende doti gi tekone maduongʼ mondo okweda? Ooyo, ok dochun weche kuoma ni an jaketho.
Uzaphikisana lami ngobukhulu bamandla yini? Hatshi, kodwa uzabeka inhliziyo yakhe kimi.
7 Kuno ema ngʼama ja-adiera teroe ywakne, kendo kuno ema jal mangʼadona bura diweyae thuolo.
Lapho oqotho angaphikisana laye; ngakho bengizaphepha phakade kumahluleli wami.
8 “To kata ka adhi yo wuok chiengʼ to oonge kuno; ka adhi yo podho chiengʼ bende ok ayude.
Khangelani ngiya phambili, kodwa kakho, lemuva, kodwa kangimboni.
9 Ka odich otiyo yo nyandwat, to ok anene; to ka olokore ochomo yo milambo to kuno bende ok anyal nene.
Ngakwesokhohlo ekusebenzeni kwakhe, kodwa kangimboni; uyacatsha ngakwesokunene, kodwa kangimboni.
10 To ongʼeyo yora maluwo; bangʼ tema to abiro wuok aa e tem ka achalo dhahabu.
Kanti uyayazi indlela elami; kangihlole, ngizaphuma njengegolide.
11 Tiendena osebedo kaluwo okangene adimba; asebedo ka aluwo yorene ma ok abar.
Unyawo lwami lubambelele enyathelweni lakhe, ngiyigcinile indlela yakhe, kangiphambukanga.
12 Pok aweyo mak aluwo chike mowuok e dhoge; to asekawo weche mowuok e dhoge kaka mwandu maduongʼ moloyo chiemba mapile.
Kangisukanga lemlayweni wezindebe zakhe, ngawalondoloza amazwi omlomo wakhe okwedlula isabelo sami.
13 “En to ochungʼ kar kende, koso en ngʼa madipiem kode? Otimo gima en owuon ema ohero.
Kodwa yena ukokukodwa, ngubani-ke ongambuyisela emuva? Lokho umphefumulo wakhe okufisayo uyakwenza.
14 Obiro chopo gima nosechano chon, kendo pod en gi chenro machal kamago mokanona mathoth.
Ngoba uzaphelelisa engikumiselweyo; lezinto ezinengi ezinjalo zikuye.
15 Mano emomiyo kibaji maduongʼ omaka e nyime, kendo kaparo gigi duto to amiye luor.
Ngenxa yalokho ngitshaywa luvalo phambi kwakhe; ngicabanga, ngiyamesaba.
16 Nyasaye osemiyo chunya ool; Jehova Nyasaye Maratego osemiyo kibaji omaka.
Ngoba uNkulunkulu wenze inhliziyo yami yaphela amandla, loSomandla ungethusile.
17 Kata bed ni mudho odino wangʼa kamano, to mudhono ok nyal miya luoro.
Ngoba kangiqunywanga phambi komnyama, wagubuzela ubumnyama ebusweni bami.
