Ἰώβ 35

1 ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ελιους λέγει

UElihu wasephendula wathi:

2 τί τοῦτο ἡγήσω ἐν κρίσει σὺ τίς εἶ ὅτι εἶπας δίκαιός εἰμι ἔναντι κυρίου

Ukhumbula ukuthi lokhu kuqondile yini? Uthe: Ukulunga kwami kwedlula okukaNkulunkulu.

3 ἢ ἐρεῖς τί ποιήσω ἁμαρτών

Ngoba uthe kusizani kuwe, kungisizani okwedlula isono sami?

4 ἐγὼ σοὶ δώσω ἀπόκρισιν καὶ τοῖς τρισὶν φίλοις σου

Mina ngizakuphendula, labangane bakho kanye lawe.

5 ἀνάβλεψον εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ ἰδέ κατάμαθε δὲ νέφη ὡς ὑψηλὰ ἀπὸ σοῦ

Khangela amazulu ubone; ukhangele amayezi, aphakeme kulawe.

6 εἰ ἥμαρτες τί πράξεις εἰ δὲ καὶ πολλὰ ἠνόμησας τί δύνασαι ποιῆσαι

Uba usona, wenzani kuye? Uba iziphambeko zakho zizinengi, wenzani kuye?

7 ἐπεὶ δὲ οὖν δίκαιος εἶ τί δώσεις αὐτῷ ἢ τί ἐκ χειρός σου λήμψεται

Uba ulungile, umnikani, kumbe wemukelani esandleni sakho?

8 ἀνδρὶ τῷ ὁμοίῳ σου ἡ ἀσέβειά σου καὶ υἱῷ ἀνθρώπου ἡ δικαιοσύνη σου

Ububi bakho buthinta umuntu onjengawe, lokulunga kwakho indodana yomuntu.

9 ἀπὸ πλήθους συκοφαντούμενοι κεκράξονται βοήσονται ἀπὸ βραχίονος πολλῶν

Ngenxa yobunengi bencindezelo babenza bakhale; bayakhala ngenxa yengalo yabalamandla.

10 καὶ οὐκ εἶπεν ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ θεὸς ὁ ποιήσας με ὁ κατατάσσων φυλακὰς νυκτερινάς

Kodwa kakho othi: Ungaphi uNkulunkulu umenzi wami, onika amahubo ebusuku,

11 ὁ διορίζων με ἀπὸ τετραπόδων γῆς ἀπὸ δὲ πετεινῶν οὐρανοῦ

osifundisa okwedlula inyamazana zomhlaba, asenze sihlakaniphe okwedlula inyoni zamazulu?

12 ἐκεῖ κεκράξονται καὶ οὐ μὴ εἰσακούσῃ καὶ ἀπὸ ὕβρεως πονηρῶν

Lapho bayakhala, kodwa kaphenduli, ngenxa yokuzigqaja kwababi.

13 ἄτοπα γὰρ οὐ βούλεται ὁ κύριος ἰδεῖν αὐτὸς γὰρ ὁ παντοκράτωρ ὁρατής ἐστιν

Isibili uNkulunkulu kayikuzwa ize, loSomandla kayikukunanza.

14 τῶν συντελούντων τὰ ἄνομα καὶ σώσει με κρίθητι δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ εἰ δύνασαι αἰνέσαι αὐτόν ὡς ἔστιν

Yebo, lanxa usithi: Kawumboni, kanti isahlulelo siphambi kwakhe; ngakho umlindele.

15 καὶ νῦν ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπισκεπτόμενος ὀργὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω παραπτώματι σφόδρα

Kodwa khathesi, ngoba intukuthelo yakhe ingajezisanga, laye kayikwejwayela kakhulu yini ukuziphakamisa?

16 καὶ Ιωβ ματαίως ἀνοίγει τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀγνωσίᾳ ῥήματα βαρύνει

Ngakho uJobe uvule umlomo wakhe ngeze, wandisa amazwi engelalwazi.
