Ayub 4
1 Eka Elifaz ja-Teman nodwoke kama:
Wasephendula u-Elifazi umThemani wathi:
2 “Bende chunyi nyalo doko malit ka ngʼato okeloni wach moro nimar ok anyal lingʼ mak awuoyo?
“Nxa umuntu angaphosa ilizwi nje kuwe uzacunuka na? Kodwa ngubani ongathula angakhulumi na?
3 Parie kaka isepuonjo ji mangʼeny, kendo isejiwo joma chunygi onyosore.
Khumbula ukuthi sewabafundisa njani abanengi, ukuthi ubaqinise njani abalezandla ezibuthakathaka.
4 Wechegi osekonyo joma opodho; kendo isejiwo joma tekogi orumo.
Amazwi akho abasekele labo abakhubekayo; uwaqinisile amadolo axegayo.
5 To koro chandruok osechoponi kendo chunyi onyosore omiyo ionge gi kwe.
Kodwa manje uhlupho luze kuwe, usuphela amandla; lukutshaya ubusudela ithemba.
6 Luor miluorogo Nyasaye dak koro miyi chir koso ngimani moriere dak koro miyi geno?
Kungani ukukholwa kwakho kungabi yiso isibindi sakho na lezindlela zakho ezimsulwa zibe lithemba lakho na?
7 “Koro par ane: En ngʼa mosekum maonge ketho? Koso joma kare mage minyalo tieki?
Khumbula manje: Ngubani owathi engelacala wabhubha na? Kungaphi lapho abaqotho abake babhujiswa khona na?
8 Gima aseneno en ni joma chwoyo richo gi chandruok kayo mana richo.
Ngokubona kwami labo abalima okubi lalabo abahlanyela ububi bavuna bona.
9 Itiekogi apoya nono gi much Nyasaye; kendo sa ma mirimbe obiro to gilal nono.
Ngokuphefumula kukaNkulunkulu bayabhubha; ngokukhwaza kolaka lwakhe bayafa.
10 Sibuoche nyalo ruto kendo sibuoche mager nyalo goyo asumbi, to kata kamano leke sibuoche maroteke osemuki.
Izilwane zingabhonga zihwabhe, kodwa amazinyo ezilwane ezinkulu ayephuka.
11 Sibuor koro tho nikech gima ocham onge, kendo nyithi sibuor oringo ma oke.
Isilwane siyafa ngokuswela ukudla besekuthi imidlwane yesilwanekazi ihlakazeke.
12 “Ne okuodhna wach moro mos, to ne awinje mana marach rach.
Kulethwe ilizwi kimi ngasese, indlebe zami zilizwile linyenyezwa.
13 Wachni nobirona gotieno e yor lek, e sa ma nindo goye ji ngoga,
Phakathi kwamaphupho adungayo ebusuku, lapho abantu belele obukabhuka,
14 kendo luoro gi kibaji nogoya momiyo denda duto onyosore.
ukwesaba lokuthuthumela kwangifikela kwenza wonke amathambo ami aqhaqhazela.
15 Eka muya nokudho wangʼa, mi yier denda duto nojuol.
Kwathi tshazi umoya emehlweni ami, wahlasimula umzimba wami lenwele zami zema.
16 Nochungʼ molingʼ thi, to ne ok anyal ngʼeyo ni en angʼo. Kido moro nobiro mochungʼ e nyim wangʼa, kendo nawinjo dwol moro machil, kawacho niya:
Umoya lowo wema, kodwa kangikwazanga ukuthi kuyini. Kwakumi into phambi kwamehlo ami, ngasengisizwa ilizwi elihelezayo:
17 ‘Bende dhano mangima nyalo bedo makare moloyo Nyasaye? Dhano bende dibed maler moloyo jachwechne?
‘Kambe umuntu angalunga ukwedlula uNkulunkulu na? Umuntu angahlanzeka kuloMenzi wakhe na?
18 Ka Nyasaye ok nyal geno jotichne, ma kata malaika bende joketho e nyime,
Nxa uNkulunkulu engazethembi izinceku zakhe, nxa ebeka izingilosi zakhe umlandu ngokona,
19 to koro ere kaka dodew dhano molos gi lowo, ma mise mag-gi en mana buru, ma inyalo duny marum mana ka oguyo!
pho-ke kuzakuba njani kulabo abahlala ezindlini zodaka, ozisekelo zazo zisothulini, abahlifizeka lula njengenondo!
20 Chakre kogwen nyaka odhiambo inyalo turgi matindo tindo ka ok ongʼeyo, kendo gilal nyaka chiengʼ.
Phakathi kokusa lokuhlwa bayabhidlizwa babe yizicucu; bengananzwa langubani, bayabhubha kokuphela.
21 Donge tondegi ma gitweyogo hema igonyo, mondo omi githo ka gionge rieko?’
Izintambo zamatende abo kazidonswa na, bafe bengelalwazi?’”
