Hiob 20
1 Tete Naamatitɔ, Zofar ɖo eŋu nɛ be,
Wasephendula uZofari umNahama wathi:
2 “Nu siwo le fu ɖem na nye susue dɔm be maɖo eŋu na wò elabena metsi dzi le ɖokuinye me ŋutɔ.
Ngakho imicabango yami ingenza ngiphendule, langenxa yokuphangisa kwami phakathi kwami.
3 Mese mokaname aɖe si ɖe bubu le ŋunye, eye nye gɔmesese de dzi ƒo nam be maɖo nyawo ŋu.
Ngizwile isijeziso sehlazo lami, lomoya wokuqedisisa kwami ungenza ngiphendule.
4 “Meka ɖe edzi be ènya ale si wònɔ tso blema, tso ɣeyiɣi si ke wowɔ amegbetɔ da ɖe anyigba dzi be
Uyakwazi lokhu yini, kusukela endulo, selokhu kwabekwa umuntu emhlabeni,
5 ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe nukoko nu mesena yina o, eye Mawumavɔ̃lawo ƒe aseyetsotso nɔa anyi ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe ko.
ukuthi injabulo yababi imfitshane, lentokozo yomzenzisi ngeyesikhatshana nje?
6 Togbɔ be eƒe dada yi ɖatɔ dziƒo, eƒe ta yi ɖatɔ lilikpowo ke hã la,
Loba ubukhosi bakhe busenyukela emazulwini, lekhanda lakhe lifinyelela emayezini,
7 atsrɔ̃ gbidii abe eya ŋutɔ ƒe afɔdzi ene eye ame siwo kpɔe la agblɔ be, ‘Afi ka wòle?’
uzabhubha phakade njengobulongwe bakhe; labo abambonileyo bathi: Ungaphi?
8 Edzona dzona abe drɔ̃e ene, womagakpɔe o eye wòabu abe ŋutega si wokpɔ le zã me ene.
Uzaphapha njengephupho, bangabe besamthola; yebo, uzaxotshwa njengombono webusuku.
9 Ŋku si kpɔe la magakpɔe akpɔ o, eye eƒe nɔƒe hã magakpɔe akpɔ o.
Ilihlo elike lambona aliyikuphinda, lendawo yakhe kayisayikumbona.
10 Ele be viawo nawɔ ɖɔɖɔɖo anyo dɔ me na ame dahewo, eya ŋutɔ ƒe asiwo aɖe asi le eƒe kesinɔnuwo ŋu.
Abantwana bakhe bazadinga ukuthokozisa abayanga, lezandla zakhe zibuyisele inotho yakhe.
11 Ɖekakpuimeŋusẽ dzodzoe si yɔ eƒe ƒuwo me la aku kplii ayi ke me.
Amathambo akhe ayegcwele ubutsha bakhe, kodwa azalala kanye laye enhlabathini.
12 “Togbɔ be nu vɔ̃ɖi vivi le eƒe nu me, eye wòɣlae ɖe eƒe aɖe te,
Uba ububi bumnandi emlonyeni wakhe, ebufihla ngaphansi kolimi lwakhe,
13 togbɔ be mate ŋu aɖe asi le eŋu o eye wòbe ɖe nu me nɛ hã la,
ebugodla, engabuyekeli, kodwa ebugcina phakathi komlomo wakhe,
14 eƒe nuɖuɖu ave le eƒe dɔ me, eye wòazu da ƒe aɖi le eƒe dɔgbowo me.
ukudla kwakhe kuzaphenduka esiswini sakhe, kuzakuba yibuhlungu bezinyoka phakathi kwakhe.
15 Atu kesinɔnu siwo wòmi la aƒu gbe. Mawu ana eƒe dɔgbowo nadzɔ wo katã aƒo ɖi.
Uginye inotho, kodwa uzayihlanza; uNkulunkulu uzayikhupha esiswini sakhe.
16 Eno da ƒe aɖi eye ƒli ƒe aɖi awui.
Uzamunya ubuhlungu bezinyoka, lolimi lwebululu luzambulala.
17 Makpɔ gome le tɔʋu kple tɔsisi siwo me anyitsi kple notsi babla le sisim le la me o.
Kayikubona izifula, imifula, izifudlana zoluju lolaza.
18 Maɖu nu siwo ŋu wòdze agbagba le o, ke boŋ atsɔ wo ana eye maɖu viɖe si do tso eƒe asitsatsa hã me o
Uzabuyisela lokho akusebenzelayo, angakuginyi; njengokwenotho izakuba njalo inhlawulo, njalo kayikuthokoza.
19 elabena ete ame dahewo ɖe to wozu hiãtɔwo eye wòxɔ aƒe siwo metu o.
Ngoba ubacindezele wabadela abayanga, waphanga indlu abengayakhanga.
20 “Vavã makpɔ gbɔdzɔe le eƒe nudzodzrowo me o eye maɖe eɖokui to eƒe nunɔamesiwo dzi o.
Ngoba kakwazi ukuthula esiswini sakhe, kayikusindisa lutho kusifiso sakhe.
21 Naneke masusɔ nɛ esi wòavuvu o eƒe kesinɔnuwo matɔ ɖi o.
Kakuyikusala lutho ekudleni kwakhe; ngenxa yalokhu okuhle kwakhe kakuyikuma.
22 Le eƒe nukpɔkpɔ gbogboawo dome la, xaxa ava edzi eye hiãtuame ƒe ŋusẽ katã ava edzi.
Ekugcwaleni kokwanela kwakhe uzakuba lencindezelo; sonke isandla sohluphekayo sizamfikela.
23 Ne eƒe ƒodo yɔ nyuie la Mawu atrɔ eƒe dziku bibi akɔ ɖe edzi eye wòana eƒe dɔmedzoe nadza ɖe edzi.
Kuzakuthi lapho egcwalisa isisu sakhe, uNkulunkulu athumele kuye ukuvutha kwentukuthelo yakhe, akunise phezu kwakhe ekudleni kwakhe.
24 Togbɔ be esi le gayibɔlãnu nu hã la, akɔbliŋutrɔ ƒo ɖee.
Uzabalekela isikhali sensimbi, idandili lethusi lizamhlaba.
25 Eɖee do goe tso eƒe lãme eye wòho eƒe tsutsyɔeƒe le eƒe aklã me. Ŋɔdzi alée,
Uyalihwatsha, liphume emhlana, lokubenyezelayo kuzaphuma enyongweni yakhe; izesabiso ziphezu kwakhe.
26 eye viviti tsiɖitsiɖi le eƒe kesinɔnuwo lalam. Dzo si womeƒlɔ ɖo o la afiae eye wòabi nu si susɔ ɖe eƒe agbadɔ me la keŋkeŋkeŋ.
Ubumnyama bonke bugcinelwe izinto zakhe ezibekelelweyo; umlilo ongavuthelwayo uzamqeda; kuzakuba kubi kunsali ethenteni lakhe.
27 Dziƒo aɖe eƒe vodada ɖe go eye anyigba atso ɖe eŋu.
Amazulu azakwembula ububi bakhe, lomhlaba umvukele.
28 Tsiɖɔɖɔ akplɔ eƒe aƒe adzoe eye le Mawu ƒe dɔmedzoeŋkeke la dzi la, tsi sisiwo akplɔe adzoe.
Ukwanda kwendlu yakhe kuzanyamalala, kukhukhulwe osukwini lwentukuthelo yakhe.
29 Esia nye gomekpɔkpɔ si Mawu ɖo ɖi na ame vɔ̃ɖiwo, eye wònye domenyinu tso Mawu gbɔ na wo.”
Lesi yisabelo somuntu omubi esivela kuNkulunkulu, lelifa alimiselwa nguNkulunkulu.
