UJobe 20
1 Wasephendula uZofari umNahama wathi:
Pea naʻe toki pehēange ʻe Sofaa mei Neama, ʻo ne pehē,
2 “Imicabango yami ekhathazekileyo ingifuqa ukuthi ngiphendule ngoba sengikhubekile kakhulu.
“Ko e moʻoni ʻoku langaʻi au ʻe heʻeku ngaahi mahalo ke u tali, ko ia ʻoku ou fakatoʻotoʻo ai.
3 Ngizwa kulokukhuzwa okungilulazisayo njalo ukuzwisisa kwami kungifuqela ukuthi ngiphendule.
Kuo u fanongo ki he tautea ʻo ʻeku manuki, pea ko e laumālie ʻo ʻeku ʻilo ʻoku langaʻi au ke u tali.
4 Ngempela uyakwazi ukuthi kwakuvele kunjani lendulo, kusukela ukubekwa komuntu emhlabeni,
ʻIkai te ke ʻilo eni mei muʻa, talu hono tuku ʻoe tangata ʻi māmani,
5 ukuthi injabulo yomubi imfitshane, intokozo yongakholwayo ngeyomzuzwana nje.
Koeʻuhi ʻoku fuonounou ʻae nekeneka ʻoe angahala, pea ko e fiefia ʻae mālualoi ʻoku ʻi he kemo pe taha?
6 Loba ukuzigqaja kwakhe kufika emazulwini lekhanda lakhe lithinta emayezini,
Neongo ʻae aʻu hake ki he langi ʻa hono ongolelei, pea ʻasi hake hono ʻulu ki he ngaahi ʻao;
7 uzabhubha okwaphakade, njengobulongwe bakhe; labo abake bambona bazakuthi, ‘Ungaphi kanti?’
Ka ʻe ʻauha ia ʻo taʻengata ʻo hangē pe ko ʻene meʻa kovi ʻaʻana: ko kinautolu naʻe mamata ki ai te nau pehē, ‘Kofaʻā ia?’
8 Njengephupho uyanyamalala angabe esabonwa njalo, axotshwe njengombono webusuku.
ʻE puna atu ia ʻo hangē ha misi, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻilo ia: ʻio, ʻe tuli atu ia ʻo hangē ko ha meʻa ʻoku hā mai ʻi he pō.
9 Ilihlo elake lambona kalisayikumbona njalo; indawo yakhe ingeke ibe isambona.
Ko e mata foki naʻe mamata ki ai ʻe ʻikai toe mamata ai; pea ʻe ʻikai toe ʻilo ia ʻe hono potu.
10 Abantwabakhe bazazincengela ebayangeni ngezandla zakhe abuyisele inotho yakhe.
ʻE kumi ʻe heʻene fānau ke fakafiemālieʻi ʻae masiva, pea ʻe toe ʻatu ʻe hono nima ʻenau ngaahi meʻa.
11 Amadlabuzane obutsha alawo emathanjeni akhe azalala kanye laye othulini.
ʻOku fonu hono ngaahi hui [ʻi he angahala ]ʻo ʻene kei siʻi, pea ʻe takoto mo ia ʻi he efu.
12 Loba ububi bumnandi emlonyeni wakhe, ebufihla ngaphansi kolimi lwakhe,
“Neongo ʻoku melie ʻi hono ngutu ʻae fai kovi, pea ne fufū ia ʻi hono lalo ʻelelo:
13 loba esehluleka ukutshiyana labo abugcine emlonyeni wakhe,
Neongo ʻene mamae ki ai, ʻo ʻikai liʻaki; kae maʻu pe ʻi hono loto ngutu:
14 kodwa ukudla kwakhe kuzahloba esiswini sakhe; kuzaphenduka kube yibuhlungu bezinyoka ngaphakathi kwakhe.
ʻE liliu ʻene meʻakai ʻi hono kete, ʻe hoko ia ko e ʻahu ʻoe fanga ngata fekai ʻi loto ʻiate ia.
15 Uzayihlanza yonke inotho ayiginyayo; uNkulunkulu uzakwenza isisu sakhe sikuhlanze konke.
Kuo ne folo hifo ʻae koloa, ka te ne toe lua ʻaki hake ia: ʻe lī ia ʻe he ʻOtua mei hono kete.
16 Uzamunya ubuhlungu bezinyoka; amazinyo ebululu azambulala.
ʻE mimisi ʻe ia ʻae kona ʻoe fanga ngata fekai: ʻe teʻia ia ʻe he ʻelelo ʻoe ngata fekai.
17 Akayikuyikholisa imifula, leyomifula egeleza uluju lolaza.
ʻE ʻikai mamata ia ki he ngaahi vai, ko e ngaahi vai lahi, mo e ngaahi vaitafe ʻoe meʻa huʻamelie mo e pota.
18 Lokho akuginqeleyo kumele akubuyise engakudlanga; akayikuyikholisa inzuzo yokuthengiselana kwakhe.
ʻE toe ʻatu ʻe ia ʻae fua ʻo ʻene ngāue, pea ʻe ʻikai folo hifo: pea ʻe ʻikai fiefia ia ʻi he lahi fau ʻo ʻene koloa.
19 Ngoba ubebancindezela abayanga basala bengelalutho; wathumba izindlu angazakhanga.
Koeʻuhi kuo ne taʻomia mo liʻaki ʻae masiva; kuo ne toʻo fakamālohi ʻae fale naʻe ʻikai ke ne langa;
20 Ngempela akayikudeda kulobubuhwaba bakhe; ngeke azisindise ngenotho yakhe.
“Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai te ne ongoʻi ʻae fiemālie ʻi hono loto, ʻe ʻikai te ne faʻa maʻu ʻaia kuo ne holi ki ai.
21 Akusela lutho angabe esaludla; ukuphumelela kwakhe kakuyikuma.
ʻE ʻikai toe ʻene meʻa kai; ko ia ʻe ʻikai ʻamanaki ʻe ha taha ki haʻane meʻa.
22 Phakathi kwenotho yakhe uzahlaselwa zinhlupho; ubuhlungu buzamehlela ngamandla.
ʻI he lahi ʻo ʻene maʻumeʻa ʻe masiva ai ia; ʻe hoko kiate ia ʻae nima ʻoe angakovi kotoa pē.
23 Nxa esesigcwalisile isisu sakhe, uNkulunkulu uzabhodlisela ulaka lwakhe oluvuthayo kuye akhwele ehle ngezidutshulo phezu kwakhe.
ʻI heʻene teu ke fakapito hono kete, ʻe lī kiate ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae mālohi ʻo hono houhau, pea fakaʻauha ia kiate ia lolotonga ʻene kai.
24 Lanxa angaze abalekele isikhali sensimbi umtshoko wethusi uzamciba.
ʻE puna ia mei he meʻa tau ukamea, ka ʻe fanaʻi ia ke ʻasi ʻe he kaufana ukamea.
25 Uyawuhwatsha emhlane wakhe, umcijo wawo ocazimulayo awuhwatshe esibindini. Uzangenwa yikwesaba okukhulu;
ʻE unuhi ia, pea ʻasi ʻi hono sino; ʻio, ʻoku haʻu mei hono ʻahu ʻae heletā ngingila, ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi ilifia.
26 umnyama omkhulu uyilindele inotho yakhe. Umlilo ongungumayo uzamqeda utshise lokho okuseleyo ethenteni lakhe.
Ko e ngaahi fakapoʻuli kotoa pē kuo fufū ʻi hono ngaahi potu fakalilolilo: ʻe fakaʻauha ia ʻe he afi taʻetapili; ʻe hoko ʻae kovi kiate ia ʻoku toe ʻi hono ʻapi.
27 Amazulu azabembula ububi bakhe; umhlaba uzamvukela.
ʻE fakahā ʻe he langi ʻa ʻene fai kovi, pea ʻe tuʻu hake ki ai ʻae fonua.
28 Isikhukhula sizayithwala indlu yakhe, kungamanzi azimpophoma mhla wosuku lolaka lukaNkulunkulu.
Ko e koloa ʻo hono fale ʻe mole, pea tafe atu ʻi he ʻaho ʻo hono houhau.
29 Sinjalo isiphetho uNkulunkulu asimisele ababi, ilifa abalikhethelwe nguNkulunkulu.”
Ko e ʻinasi eni ʻoe tangata angahala mei he ʻOtua, mo e tufakanga kuo tuʻutuʻuni maʻana ʻe he ʻOtua.”
