< Job 27 >

1 And he repeated Job to take up discourse his and he said.
UJobe waqhubeka ngenkulumo yakhe wathi:
2 [by] [the] life Of God [who] he has taken away right my and [the] Almighty [who] he has made bitter self my.
“Ngifunga ngoNkulunkulu ophilayo, ngubani ongithathele ilungelo lami lokwahlulelwa ngokulunga, uSomandla, ongizwise ubuhlungu bomphefumulo,
3 For all still breath my [is] in me and [the] spirit of God [is] in nostril[s] my.
nxa ngilokhu ngiselempilo ngaphakathi kwami, umphefumulo kaNkulunkulu usemakhaleni ami,
4 If they will speak lips my injustice and tongue my if it will utter deceit.
izindebe zami kazisoze zikhulume ububi, lolimi lwami kaluyikukhuluma inkohliso.
5 Far be it to me if I will declare right you until I will expire not I will put aside integrity my from me.
Kangisoze ngivume ukuthi lina lilungile ngelikutshoyo; ngizaze ngiyekufa ngingabulandulanga ubuqotho bami.
6 On righteousness my I have kept hold and not I will let go it not it reproaches heart my any of days my.
Ngizakugcina ukulunga kwami ngingakuyekeli; umzwangedwa wami kawuyikungihlupha empilweni yami.
7 May he be like a wicked [person] enemy my and [one who] raises himself against me like an evil-doer.
Sengathi izitha zami zingaba njengababi, abaxabana lami babe njengabangaqondanga!
8 For what? [is the] hope of a godless [person] if he will cut off if he will take away God life his.
Ngoba ulethemba bani ongakholwayo nxa esefile, uNkulunkulu angathatha impilo yakhe na?
9 ¿ Cry his will he hear - God if it will come on him distress.
UNkulunkulu uyakulalela yini ukukhala kwakhe nxa usizi lumehlela na?
10 Or? on [the] Almighty will he take delight will he call on? God at every time.
Uzakuthola yini ukuthokoza kuSomandla? Uzacela kuNkulunkulu sonke isikhathi na?
11 I will instruct you in [the] hand of God [that] which [is] with [the] Almighty not I will hide.
Ngizalifundisa mayelana lamandla kaNkulunkulu; izindlela zikaSomandla kangiyikuzifihla.
12 There! you all of you you have seen and why? this vanity do you act in vain.
Lonke lizibonele lokhu ngokwenu. Pho, ngeyani inkulumo yonke le eyize na?
13 This - [is the] portion of a person wicked - with God and [the] inheritance of ruthless [people] [which] from [the] Almighty they will receive.
Nansi isabelo uNkulunkulu asiqumela ababi, ilifa elemukelwa ngumuntu olesihluku sivela kuSomandla:
14 If they will increase children his for [the] sword and descendants his not they will be satisfied bread.
Loba bebanengi njani abantwabakhe, isabelo sabo yinkemba; lenzalo yakhe kayisoze lanini izuze ukudla okwaneleyo.
15 (Survivors his *Q(K)*) by death they will be buried and widows his not they will weep.
Isifo esibi sizabangcwaba labo abatshiywa nguye besaphila, labafelokazi babo kabayikubalilela.
16 If he will heap up like dust silver and like clay he will prepare clothing.
Lokuba angaze abuthelele isiliva njengothuli lezigqoko zibe yinqwaba njengodaka,
17 He will prepare [it] and a righteous [person] he will wear [it] and [the] silver [the] innocent he will divide up.
lokho akubuthelelayo abalungileyo bazakugqokela, labangelacala bazakwaba isiliva sakhe.
18 He has built like moth house his and like a shelter [which] he has made a watchman.
Indlu ayakhayo injengesidleke sobulembu, njengedumba elenziwe ngumlindi.
19 Rich he will lie down and not he will be removed eyes his he opens and there not [is] it.
Uthi esiyalala enothile, kodwa kasayikuphinda njalo; uthi esevula amehlo, konke sekuphelile.
20 It overtakes him like waters sudden terror night it steals away him a storm-wind.
Utshaywa luvalo kungathi ufuqwa yisikhukhula; isiphepho siyamhwitha ebusuku.
21 It will lift up him an east wind so he may go and it will whirl away him from place his.
Umoya wempumalanga udlula laye, anyamalale; uyamkhukhula endaweni yakhe.
22 And he will throw [it] on him and not he will show pity from hand his certainly he will flee.
Utshaya phezu kwakhe ngesihluku esithi uyabaleka ecambalele evika amandla awo.
23 Someone will clap on him hands their so he may hiss on him from place his.
Utshaya izandla umhleka ulunya uvunguza laye umsusa endaweni yakhe.”
