UJobe 18
1 Kwathi lapho uBhilidadi umShuhi waphendula wathi:
Awo Birudaadi Omusukusi n’ayanukula n’agamba nti,
2 “Koze kube nini ulokhu uphethe emlonyeni? Nakana andubana sikhulume.
“Mulikomya ddi okufuulafuula ebigambo? Muddeemu amagezi, tulyoke twogere.
3 Kungani usithatha njengezinkomo kube ingathi siyizithutha kuwe na?
Lwaki tutwalibwa ng’ente era ne tulowoozebwa okuba abasirusiru mu maaso gammwe?
4 Wena ozidabudabulayo ube yiziqa ngokuthukuthela kwakho, uthi sesingawudela umhlaba ngenxa yakho? Loba uthi amadwala agudlulwe ezindaweni zawo na?
Ggwe eyeyuzayuza olw’obusungu, abantu ensi bagiveeko ku lulwo, oba enjazi zive mu bifo byazo?
5 Isibane somubi siyacima; ilangabi lomlilo wakhe liyaphela ukubhebha.
“Ddala etabaaza y’omukozi w’ebibi ezikidde, era n’omuliro gw’ekyoto kye tegukyayaka.
6 Ukukhanya ethenteni lakhe kuyafiphala; isibane esiseceleni kwakhe siyacima.
Ekitangaala kivudde mu weema ye; n’ettaala eri ku mabbali ge nayo ezikidde.
7 Izisinde zakhe zamandla ziyadeda; lamacebo akhe yiwo amlahla phansi.
Amaanyi gamuwedde, ebigere bye tebikyali bya maanyi, era enkwe ze, ze zimusuula.
8 Inyawo zakhe zimbeka emambuleni acine esemthandele.
Eky’amazima ebigere bye byamusuula mu kitimba era n’atangatanga mu butimba.
9 Umjibila umhwiphula ngesithende; isihitshela simuthi nki.
Omutego gumukwata ekisinziiro; akamasu ne kamunyweeza.
10 Isihitshela usifihlelwe phansi; umjibila uthukuziwe endleleni yakhe.
Omuguwa gumukwekerwa mu ttaka; akatego kamulindirira mu kkubo lye.
11 Uyethuka ngokwesaba inxa zonke kumlandelele langaphi aya khona.
Entiisa emukanga enjuuyi zonna era n’emugoba kigere ku kigere.
12 Umonakalo umlambele; incithakalo imlindele nxa esiwa.
Emitawaana gimwesunga; ekikangabwa kirindiridde okugwa kwe.
13 Kudla ingxenye yesikhumba sakhe; izibulo lokufa lidla izitho zakhe.
Kirya ebitundu by’olususu lwe; omubereberye wa walumbe amulyako emikono n’ebigere.
14 Uyasuswa ekuvikelekeni kwethente lakhe aqhutshwe asiwe enkosini yokwesaba.
Aggyibwa mu bukuumi bwa weema ye era n’atwalibwa eri kabaka w’ebikangabwa.
15 Umlilo uhlala ethenteni lakhe; isolufa evuthayo ichithachithwe emzini wakhe.
Omuliro gumalirawo ddala byonna eby’omu weema ye; ekibiriiti kyakira mu kifo mw’abeera.
16 Impande zakhe ziyabuna ngaphansi lamagatsha akhe abune ngaphezulu.
Emirandira gye gikala wansi, n’amatabi ge gakala waggulu.
17 Ukukhunjulwa kwakhe kuyaphela emhlabeni; kalabizo elizweni.
Ekijjukizo kye kibula ku nsi; talina linnya mu nsi.
18 Uyasuswa ekukhanyeni aye ebumnyameni njalo axotshwe emhlabeni.
Agobebwa okuva mu kitangaala, agenda mu kizikiza n’aggyibwa mu nsi.
19 Kalabantwana loba isizukulwane ebantwini bakibo, kakho loyedwa owakhe lapho ake ahlala khona.
Talina mwana wadde omuzzukulu mu bantu be, newaakubadde ekifo mwabeera.
20 Abantu bentshonalanga bayanengwa yisiphetho sakhe; abantu bempumalanga bayatshaqeka.
Abantu ab’ebugwanjuba beewuunya ebyamutuukako; n’ab’ebuvanjuba ne bakwatibwa ekikangabwa.
21 Ngempela linjalo ikhaya lomuntu omubi; yiyo indawo yalowo ongamaziyo uNkulunkulu.”
Ddala bw’etyo bw’ebeera ennyumba y’omukozi w’ebibi; bwe gaba bwe gatyo amaka g’oyo atamanyi Katonda.”
