Joba 23

1 Hoe ty natoi’ Iobe:

Wasephendula uJobe wathi:

2 Mafaitse ty toreoko henaneo, taña-miletraletra ty amy hatreontreoko.

Lalamuhla isikhalazo sami silokubaba; isandla sami sinzima phezu kokububula kwami.

3 Ehe te napotako ty hahatreavako Aze, hiheovako mb’am-piambesa’e mb’eo.

Kungathi ngabe ngiyazi lapho engingamthola khona! Bengingeza enkundleni yakhe!

4 Halahako aolo’e eo ty amako, vaho hatsafeko veroke ty vavako.

Ngibeke kuhle udaba lwami phambi kwakhe, ngigcwalise umlomo wami ngokuphikisa.

5 Ho azoko ty entañe havale’e ahy, vaho ho rendreko ty hitsara’e.

Bengingawazi amazwi azangiphendula ngawo, ngiqedisise azakutsho kimi.

6 Hatreatré’e ami’ty hara’elahin-kaozara’e hao? Aiy, f’ie ho haoñe’e.

Uzaphikisana lami ngobukhulu bamandla yini? Hatshi, kodwa uzabeka inhliziyo yakhe kimi.

7 Mete hilahatse ama’e ty vañoñe, hamotsorañe ahy nainai’e amy Mpizakakoy.

Lapho oqotho angaphikisana laye; ngakho bengizaphepha phakade kumahluleli wami.

8 Hehe te mionjon-draho, f’ie tsy eo, midisa-voly, fa tsy isako,

Khangelani ngiya phambili, kodwa kakho, lemuva, kodwa kangimboni.

9 ie mitoloñ’an-kavia, tsy treako, ie mitolike mb’àn-kavana, tsy rendreko.

Ngakwesokhohlo ekusebenzeni kwakhe, kodwa kangimboni; uyacatsha ngakwesokunene, kodwa kangimboni.

10 Fe arofoana’e ty lala fombàko, ie fa nitsoeha’e le hiboake hoe volamena.

Kanti uyayazi indlela elami; kangihlole, ngizaphuma njengegolide.

11 Nahafitinoñe i lia’ey ty tomboko, nifaharako i lala’ey vaho tsy nitsile.

Unyawo lwami lubambelele enyathelweni lakhe, ngiyigcinile indlela yakhe, kangiphambukanga.

12 Tsy nisitahako o nafèm-pivimbi’eo; nahajako o tsaram-palie’eo mandikoatse ty anjara rimako.

Kangisukanga lemlayweni wezindebe zakhe, ngawalondoloza amazwi omlomo wakhe okwedlula isabelo sami.

13 F’ie tsy roe tsy telo, ia ty hampitolik’ aze? anoe’e iaby ze satrin’arofo’e.

Kodwa yena ukokukodwa, ngubani-ke ongambuyisela emuva? Lokho umphefumulo wakhe okufisayo uyakwenza.

14 Ie ro mañeneke o atolots’ ahikoo: maro ty fanoe’e hoe Izay.

Ngoba uzaphelelisa engikumiselweyo; lezinto ezinengi ezinjalo zikuye.

15 Aa le hirevendreven-draho añ’atrefa’e eo; izaho mitsakore, le añeveñako.

Ngenxa yalokho ngitshaywa luvalo phambi kwakhe; ngicabanga, ngiyamesaba.

16 Ampianifan’ Añahare ty troko, ampangebahebae’ i El-Sadai,

Ngoba uNkulunkulu wenze inhliziyo yami yaphela amandla, loSomandla ungethusile.

17 Toe tsy naitoañ’ añatrefa’ i ieñey iraho, naho nisaroña’e an-tareheko i fimoromoroñañey.

Ngoba kangiqunywanga phambi komnyama, wagubuzela ubumnyama ebusweni bami.
