< Yobu 40 >
1 Awo Mukama n’agamba Yobu nti,
UThixo wathi kuJobe:
2 “Oyo anoonya okuyombera ebitaliimu anaayombesa Ayinzabyonna? Oyo aleeta empaka ku Katonda, amuddemu.”
“Lowo ophikisana loSomandla angamqondisa na? Yena lowo obeka uNkulunkulu icala kamphendule!”
3 Awo Yobu n’addamu Mukama nti,
Ngakho uJobe wasephendula uThixo wathi:
4 “Laba, sisaanidde, kiki kye nnaakuddamu? Emimwa kangibikkeko n’engalo.
“Kakungilingananga, ngingakuphendula njani na? Ngivala umlomo wami ngesandla sami.
5 Njogedde omulundi gumu, so siddemu; weewaawo emirundi ebiri sseeyongere mulundi mulala.”
Ngikhulumile kanye, kodwa kangilampendulo, kabili, kodwa kangisayikukhuluma njalo.”
6 Awo Mukama ng’ali mu muyaga ogw’amaanyi n’addamu Yobu nti,
UThixo wasekhuluma loJobe ephakathi kwesiphepho wathi:
7 “Weesibe engoye zo onywere ng’omusajja. Ka nkubuuze, naawe onziremu.
“Qina njengendoda; ngizakubuza, wena uzangiphendula.
8 “Onojjulula ensala yange ey’emisango; ononsingisa omusango ggwe atuukiridde?
Ungakusola na ukwahlulela kwami ngokulunga? Ungangilahla ukuze uzigeze na?
9 Olina omukono ng’ogwa Katonda, eddoboozi lyo lisobola okubwatuka ng’erirye?
Ulayo ingalo enjengekaNkulunkulu na, njalo ilizwi lakho lingaduma njengelakhe yini?
10 Kale nno yambala ekitiibwa n’obukulu weesibe ekitiibwa n’okusukkuluma osukkulume.
Nxa kunjalo zicecise ngobukhosi langenkazimulo, uzembathise ngodumo lobukhosi.
11 Yolesa obusungu bw’ekiruyi kyo otunuulire buli wa malala omusse wansi.
Khulula ukuvutha kolaka lwakho, khangela wonke umuntu ozigqajayo umthobise,
12 Tunuulira buli musajja ow’amalala omukkakkanye era olinnyirire abakozi b’ebibi obabetentere we bali.
khangela wonke umuntu ozigqajayo umbeke phansi, ubacobodise ababi khonapho abakhona.
13 Bonna baziikire wamu mu nfuufu, emitwe gyabwe ogibikkire mu ntaana.
Bambele bonke ndawonye othulini; goqela ubuso babo engcwabeni.
14 Nange kennyini ndyoke nzikirize, ng’omukono gwo ogwa ddyo, gusobola okukuwa amaanyi.”
Lapho-ke lami ngizavuma kuwe ukuthi isandla sakho sokunene singakusindisa.
15 “Laba ekisolo ekyefaananyiriza ng’envubu kye natonda nga ggwe, erya omuddo ng’ente,
Khangela imvubu, engayidala kanye lawe njalo edla utshani njengenkomo.
16 nga kirina amaanyi mayitirivu mu kiwato kyakyo amaanyi mangi mu binywa by’olubuto lwakyo.
Ilamandla amangalisayo okhalweni lwayo, amandla angaka emisipheni yesisu sayo!
17 Kiwuuba omukira gwakyo ne guba ng’omukira gw’omuvule Ebinywa by’ebisambi byakyo byakwatagana nnyo.
Umsila wayo uyazunguza njengomsedari; imisipha yemilenze yayo yalukene.
18 Amagumba gaakyo gali ng’enseke ez’ebikomo; amagulu n’emikono ng’emitayimbwa.
Amathambo ayo alezimbobo zethusi, lezitho zayo zinjengemiqwayi yensimbi.
19 Kibalibwa mu bitonde bya Katonda ebisooka, ate nga Katonda eyakitonda asobola okukisemberera n’ekitala kye.
Iyingqala yezidalwa zikaNkulunkulu, kodwa uMenzi wayo angayehlula ngenkemba yakhe.
20 Weewaawo ensozi zikireetera emmere, eyo ku nsozi, ensolo ez’omu nsiko zonna gye zizannyira.
Izintaba zimlethela izithelo zazo, kuthi zonke izilo zeganga zidlalele eduze.
21 Wansi w’ebisiikirize by’emiti egy’amaggwa, we kyebaka, ne kyekweka mu bitoogo ne mu bitosi.
Ilala ngaphansi kwezihlahla ezibukekayo, isithekile phakathi kwemihlanga exhaphozini.
22 Ebisiikirize by’emiti bikibikkako, emiti egiri ku mabbali g’omugga ne gikibikkako.
Izihlahla ezinhle ziyayisitha ngemithunzi yazo; imidubu okhunjini lomfula iyihonqolozele.
23 Laba omugga ne bwe gusiikuuka tekyekanga; kiba kinywevu, Yoludaani ne bwajjula n’abooga.
Nxa umfula uthwele izikhukhula kayethuki; kayithi thiki lokuba iJodani ithululela impophoma emlonyeni wayo.
24 Eriyo omuntu yenna ayinza okukikwata, oba okuyuza ennyindo yaakyo n’akasaale?”
Ukhona yini ongayibamba ngamehlo, kumbe ayithiye ayibhoboze amakhala na?”
