1 Tete Suhitɔ, Bildad ɖo eŋu na Hiob be,
Wasephendula uBilidadi umShuhi wathi:
2 Ɣe ka ɣi miadzudzɔ nya siawo gbɔgblɔ? Midze nunya ekema míate ŋu aƒo nu.
Koze kube nini libekela amazwi imigibe? Nanzelelani, lemva kwalokho sikhulume.
3 Nu ka ŋuti wobu mí movitɔwoe eye wobu mí bometsilawoe le wò ŋkume?
Kungani sithiwa sizinyamazana, singcolile emehlweni enu?
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?
Udwengula umphefumulo wakhe ngokuthukuthela kwakhe. Umhlaba uzatshiywa ngenxa yakho yini, loba idwala lisuswe endaweni yalo?
5 “Wotsia ame vɔ̃ɖi ƒe akaɖi eye eƒe dzo megabina o.
Yebo, ukukhanya kwabakhohlakeleyo kuzacitshwa, lenhlansi yomlilo wakhe kayiyikukhanya.
6 Kekeli si le eƒe agbadɔ me la doa viviti eye akaɖi si le eƒe axadzi la hã tsina.
Ukukhanya kuzafiphala ethenteni lakhe, lesibane sakhe ngaphezu kwakhe sizacitshwa.
7 Megatea ŋu ɖea abla o eye eya ŋutɔ ƒe nuɖoɖowo ƒunɛ anyi.
Izinyathelo zamandla akhe zizafinyezwa, lecebo lakhe lizamwisela phansi.
8 Eƒe afɔ ɖoa ɖɔ me eye wòƒoa dablibɛ le ɖɔkawo me.
Ngoba uzaphoselwa embuleni zinyawo zakhe, ahambe phezu kwembule.
9 Mɔ léa afɔkpodzi nɛ eye mɔ̃ka blanɛ sesĩe.
Umjibila uzambamba isithende, isihitshela sizamkhulela.
10 Wolɔa ke kɔna ɖe mɔka dzi nɛ le anyigba eye wotrea mɔ ɖe eƒe mɔ me.
Igoda lakhe lifihlwe emhlabathini, lomjibila wakhe endleleni.
11 Ŋɔdzidodowo doa vodzi nɛ le akpa sia akpa eye wokplɔa eƒe afɔɖeɖe ɖe sia ɖe ɖo.
Izesabiso zizamethusa inhlangothi zonke, zixotshane laye enyaweni zakhe.
12 Dzɔgbevɔ̃e tsi dzi vevie be yeadzɔ ɖe edzi eye gbegblẽ le klalo be yeava edzi ne edze anyi.
Amandla akhe azaqedwa yindlala, lengozi ilindele ukukhubeka kwakhe.
13 Eɖu eƒe ŋutilã ƒe akpa aɖewo eye ku ƒe ŋgɔgbevi vuvu eƒe ŋutinuwo
Kuzakudla ingxenye zesikhumba sakhe; izibulo lokufa lidle ingxenye zakhe.
14 Woɖee ɖa le eƒe agbadɔ si nye eƒe sitsoƒe la me eye wokplɔe yina na ŋɔdziwo ƒe fia.
Ithemba lakhe lizahluthunwa ethenteni lakhe, njalo kumenze aye enkosini yezesabiso.
15 Dzo bibi xɔ aƒe ɖe eƒe agbadɔ me eye aŋɔka bibi kaka ɖe eƒe nɔƒe.
Kuzahlala ethenteni lakhe elingeyisilo lakhe; isolufa izavuvuzelwa phezu kwendawo yakhe yokuhlala.
16 Eƒe kewo yrɔna le ete ke eye eƒe aŋgbawo yrɔna le eƒe tame.
Impande zakhe zizakoma ngaphansi, logatsha lwakhe lubune ngaphezulu.
17 Woŋlɔnɛ be le anyigba dzi eye eƒe ŋkɔ buna le amewo dome.
Ukukhunjulwa kwakhe kuzabhubha emhlabeni, angabi labizo ezitaladeni.
18 Wonyanɛ tso kekeli nu yina ɖe viviti me eye woɖenɛ ɖa le xexea me.
Bazamfuqa bamsuse ekukhanyeni bamuse emnyameni, bamxotshe emhlabeni.
19 Vi alo dzidzimevi menɔa esi le eƒe amewo dome o eye ame aɖeke metsia agbe le teƒe si wònɔ va yi o.
Kayikuba lenzalo lasizukulwana ebantwini bakibo; kakuyikuba lansali endaweni zakhe zokuhlala.
20 Ɣetoɖoƒetɔwo ƒe nu ku le nu si dzɔ ɖe edzi ta eye vɔvɔ̃ ɖo ɣedzeƒetɔwo.
Abalandelayo bazakwethuswa lusuku lwakhe, labokuqala bazabanjwa yisesabiso.
21 Vavãe, aleae ame vɔ̃ɖi ƒe nɔƒe nɔna, aleae ame si menya Mawu o la ƒe nɔƒe nɔna.”
Isibili zinjalo indawo zokuhlala zomubi, njalo yiyo le indawo yongamaziyo uNkulunkulu.
