Hiob 18
1 Tete Suhitɔ, Bildad ɖo eŋu na Hiob be,
Kwathi lapho uBhilidadi umShuhi waphendula wathi:
2 Ɣe ka ɣi miadzudzɔ nya siawo gbɔgblɔ? Midze nunya ekema míate ŋu aƒo nu.
“Koze kube nini ulokhu uphethe emlonyeni? Nakana andubana sikhulume.
3 Nu ka ŋuti wobu mí movitɔwoe eye wobu mí bometsilawoe le wò ŋkume?
Kungani usithatha njengezinkomo kube ingathi siyizithutha kuwe na?
4 Wò ame si vuvu ɖokuiwò kɔ ɖi le wò dziku me, ɖe wòle be woagblẽ anyigba ɖi ɖe tawò alo woaɖe agakpewo ɖa le wò teƒea?
Wena ozidabudabulayo ube yiziqa ngokuthukuthela kwakho, uthi sesingawudela umhlaba ngenxa yakho? Loba uthi amadwala agudlulwe ezindaweni zawo na?
5 “Wotsia ame vɔ̃ɖi ƒe akaɖi eye eƒe dzo megabina o.
Isibane somubi siyacima; ilangabi lomlilo wakhe liyaphela ukubhebha.
6 Kekeli si le eƒe agbadɔ me la doa viviti eye akaɖi si le eƒe axadzi la hã tsina.
Ukukhanya ethenteni lakhe kuyafiphala; isibane esiseceleni kwakhe siyacima.
7 Megatea ŋu ɖea abla o eye eya ŋutɔ ƒe nuɖoɖowo ƒunɛ anyi.
Izisinde zakhe zamandla ziyadeda; lamacebo akhe yiwo amlahla phansi.
8 Eƒe afɔ ɖoa ɖɔ me eye wòƒoa dablibɛ le ɖɔkawo me.
Inyawo zakhe zimbeka emambuleni acine esemthandele.
9 Mɔ léa afɔkpodzi nɛ eye mɔ̃ka blanɛ sesĩe.
Umjibila umhwiphula ngesithende; isihitshela simuthi nki.
10 Wolɔa ke kɔna ɖe mɔka dzi nɛ le anyigba eye wotrea mɔ ɖe eƒe mɔ me.
Isihitshela usifihlelwe phansi; umjibila uthukuziwe endleleni yakhe.
11 Ŋɔdzidodowo doa vodzi nɛ le akpa sia akpa eye wokplɔa eƒe afɔɖeɖe ɖe sia ɖe ɖo.
Uyethuka ngokwesaba inxa zonke kumlandelele langaphi aya khona.
12 Dzɔgbevɔ̃e tsi dzi vevie be yeadzɔ ɖe edzi eye gbegblẽ le klalo be yeava edzi ne edze anyi.
Umonakalo umlambele; incithakalo imlindele nxa esiwa.
13 Eɖu eƒe ŋutilã ƒe akpa aɖewo eye ku ƒe ŋgɔgbevi vuvu eƒe ŋutinuwo
Kudla ingxenye yesikhumba sakhe; izibulo lokufa lidla izitho zakhe.
14 Woɖee ɖa le eƒe agbadɔ si nye eƒe sitsoƒe la me eye wokplɔe yina na ŋɔdziwo ƒe fia.
Uyasuswa ekuvikelekeni kwethente lakhe aqhutshwe asiwe enkosini yokwesaba.
15 Dzo bibi xɔ aƒe ɖe eƒe agbadɔ me eye aŋɔka bibi kaka ɖe eƒe nɔƒe.
Umlilo uhlala ethenteni lakhe; isolufa evuthayo ichithachithwe emzini wakhe.
16 Eƒe kewo yrɔna le ete ke eye eƒe aŋgbawo yrɔna le eƒe tame.
Impande zakhe ziyabuna ngaphansi lamagatsha akhe abune ngaphezulu.
17 Woŋlɔnɛ be le anyigba dzi eye eƒe ŋkɔ buna le amewo dome.
Ukukhunjulwa kwakhe kuyaphela emhlabeni; kalabizo elizweni.
18 Wonyanɛ tso kekeli nu yina ɖe viviti me eye woɖenɛ ɖa le xexea me.
Uyasuswa ekukhanyeni aye ebumnyameni njalo axotshwe emhlabeni.
19 Vi alo dzidzimevi menɔa esi le eƒe amewo dome o eye ame aɖeke metsia agbe le teƒe si wònɔ va yi o.
Kalabantwana loba isizukulwane ebantwini bakibo, kakho loyedwa owakhe lapho ake ahlala khona.
20 Ɣetoɖoƒetɔwo ƒe nu ku le nu si dzɔ ɖe edzi ta eye vɔvɔ̃ ɖo ɣedzeƒetɔwo.
Abantu bentshonalanga bayanengwa yisiphetho sakhe; abantu bempumalanga bayatshaqeka.
21 Vavãe, aleae ame vɔ̃ɖi ƒe nɔƒe nɔna, aleae ame si menya Mawu o la ƒe nɔƒe nɔna.”
Ngempela linjalo ikhaya lomuntu omubi; yiyo indawo yalowo ongamaziyo uNkulunkulu.”
