Hiob 24
1 “Nu ka ŋuti Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la meɖo ɣeyiɣiwo ɖi hena ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ o? Nu ka ta ame siwo nyae la nanɔ mɔ kpɔm na ŋkeke siawo dzodzro?
Kungani izikhathi zingafihlelwanga uSomandla, labamaziyo bengaboni insuku zakhe?
2 Amewo ɖea liƒokpewo ɖa, wokplɔa lãha siwo wofi la yia gbeɖuƒee.
Bathuthukisa imingcele, baphange imihlambi bayeluse.
3 Wokplɔa tsyɔ̃eviwo ƒe tedziwo dzonae eye woxɔa ahosi ƒe nyi abe awɔbanu ene.
Baxotsha ubabhemi wezintandane, bathathe inkabi yomfelokazi ibe yisibambiso.
4 Wotutua asi hiãtɔwo ɖa le mɔƒome eye wozia ame dahe siwo katã le anyigba dzi la dzi be woasi abe.
Baphambula abaswelayo emigwaqweni; abayanga bomhlaba bacatsha ndawonye.
5 Ame dahewo ɖoa gbe nɔa nuɖuɖu dim abe gbetedziwo le gbegbe ene eye kuɖiɖinyigbawo dia nuɖuɖu na wo viwo.
Khangelani, bangobabhemi beganga enkangala, baphumela emsebenzini wabo, badinge impango ngovivi; inkangala ibe yikudla kwakhe lokwabantwana.
6 Woŋe gbe le agblewo dzi na lãwo eye wofɔa nuku siwo ge la le ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe waingblewo me.
Emasimini bavuna ukudla kwakhe, bakhothoze esivinini somubi.
7 Esi avɔ mele wo si o ta la womlɔ anyi ƒuƒlu le zã me eye naneke meli woatsyɔ le vuvɔ me o.
Balala beze ebusuku bengelasembatho, bengelasigubuzelo emqandweni.
8 Tsi ƒoa wo tea wo ŋu nyuie le towo dzi, wokuna ɖe agakpewo ŋu elabena bebeƒe meli o.
Bamanzi ngezihlambo zezintaba, babambelela edwaleni ngoba bengelasiphephelo.
9 Woɖea tsyɔ̃evi le no nu eye woxɔa ame dahe ƒe vi ɖe fe si wònyi la nu.
Bahluthuna intandane ebeleni, bathathe lesibambiso kumyanga.
10 Esi wònye avɔ mele wo si o ta la, wole yiyim amama, wolé lu bablawo ɖe ta, evɔ dɔ le wo wum.
Bahamba beze bengelasigqoko, labalambileyo bathwala isithungo.
11 Wole amiti ƒe ku tum le te dzi, wofiaa wain le wainfiaƒewo gake tsikɔ le wo wum.
Phakathi kwemiduli yabo bahluza amafutha, banyathela izikhamelo zewayini, kodwa bomile.
12 Ame siwo le kudɔ ƒom ƒe ŋeŋe de dzi le dua me kɔtɔɔ eye ame siwo xɔ abi la ƒe luʋɔwo le ɣli dom be woaxɔ na yewo, gake Mawu mebu fɔ ame aɖeke be edze agɔ o.
Abantu bayabubula besemzini, lomphefumulo wabalimeleyo uyakhala; kodwa uNkulunkulu kababaleli ukungalungi.
13 “Ame aɖewo li siwo tsi tsitre ɖe kekeli la ŋu, ame siwo menya eƒe mɔwo alo zɔ eƒe toƒewo o.
Bona baphakathi kwabavukela ukukhanya; kabazazi indlela zakhe, kabahlali emikhondweni yakhe.
14 Ne viviti do la, hlɔ̃dola la tsona hewua ame dahewo kple hiãtɔwo, le zã me la, enɔa zɔzɔm abe fiafitɔ ene
Umbulali uyavuka ngovivi, abulale umyanga loswelayo; lebusuku unjengesela.
15 Ahasitɔ ƒe ŋku nɔa viviti lalam, egblɔna le eƒe susu me be, ‘Ŋku aɖeke makpɔm o,’ eye wòɣlaa eƒe mo.
Lelihlo lesiphingi lilindela ukuhlwa, sisithi: Kakulalihlo elizangibona; sifake isimbombozo ebusweni baso.
16 Le viviti me la, amewo gbãa ʋɔ, gena ɖe aƒewo me gake ne ŋu ke la, wonɔa xɔ me tua ʋɔ ɖe wo ɖokuiwo nu elabena womedi kekeli ƒe nya aɖeke o.
Emnyameni ugebha aphutshele ezindlini abaziphawulele zona emini; kabakwazi ukukhanya.
17 Ke wo katã la, viviti tsiɖitsiɖie le na wo abe ŋdikekeli ene eye wodzea xɔ̃ viviti ƒe ŋɔdzinuwo.
Ngoba ikuseni kanyekanye ilithunzi lokufa kubo; uba besaziwa bakuzesabiso zethunzi lokufa.
18 “Evɔ la, futukpɔ ko wonye le tsi ŋgɔ, woƒoa fi dea anyigba ƒe akpa si nye woƒe gome ale be ame aɖeke mayi ɖe waingblewo me le afi ma o.
Ulula phezu kobuso bamanzi; isabelo sabo siqalekisiwe emhlabeni; kaphendukeli endleleni yezivini.
19 Abe ale si dzoxɔxɔ kple kuɖiɖi kplɔa tsikpe si lolõ la dzonae ene la, nenemae yɔdo kplɔa ame siwo wɔa nu vɔ̃ la hã dzonae. (Sheol h7585)
Imbalela lokutshisa kuqeda amanzi eliqhwa elikhithikileyo, ngokunjalo ingcwaba abonileyo. (Sheol h7585)
20 Vidzidɔ ŋlɔa wo be, wozua nuɖuɖu na ŋɔviwo, womegaɖoa ŋku ame vɔ̃ɖiwo dzi o, ke boŋ woŋena abe atilɔ ene.
Isizalo sizamkhohlwa, impethu izammunya, engabe esakhunjulwa, lenkohlakalo izakwephulwa njengesihlahla.
21 Wohaa konɔwo kple vimanɔsitɔwo eye womekpɔa nublanui na ahosiwo o.
Udla ngokuminza inyumba engazaliyo, kamenzeli okuhle umfelokazi.
22 Gake Mawu kplɔa kalẽtɔwo dzonae kple eƒe ŋusẽ. Togbɔ be woli ke hã la, kakaɖedzi mele wo si be woanɔ agbe o.
Njalo udonsa abalamandla ngamandla akhe, uyavuka, njalo kungabi lolethemba lempilo.
23 Ɖewohĩ ana woaɖe dzi ɖi abu be yewole dedie gake eƒe ŋkuwo le woƒe mɔwo ŋu.
Uyamnika ukuze alondolozeke, eseyama kukho, kodwa amehlo akhe aphezu kwendlela zabo.
24 Wodoa wo ɖe dzi ɣeyiɣi kpui aɖe, tete wo nu va yina, woɖiɖia wo ɖe anyi eye wokuna abe bubuawo katã ko ene ale woŋea wo abe ale si woŋea bli le bliti ŋu ene.
Bayaphakanyiswa okwesikhatshana, babesebengasekho, behliselwa phansi, bavalelwe njengaye wonke, bayaqunywa njengesihloko sesikhwebu.
25 “Ne mele alea o la, ame kae aɖe aʋatso nam eye wòana nye nyawo nazu tofloko?”
Uba-ke kungenjalo, ngubani ongangenza umqambimanga, enze inkulumo yami ibe yize?
