< UJobe 26 >
1 UJobe wasephendula wathi:
A LAILA olelo mai la o Ioba, i mai la,
2 “Usumsize njani ongelamandla! Usuyilamulele njani ingalo ebuthakathaka!
Pehea la oe i kokua mai ai i ka mea nawaliwali? A hooikaika mai hoi oe i ka lima ikaika ole?
3 Yiseluleko esinjani osusiphe lowo ongelakuhlakanipha! Njalo usubonise mbono bani!
Pehea la oe i ao mai ai i ka mea ike ole? A hoike nui mai hoi oe i ka noeau?
4 Ngubani okuncedisileyo ukukhuluma amazwi la na? Ngokabani umoya okhulume ngomlomo wakho na?
Ia wai anei oe i hai aku i na olelo? Nowai ka hanu i puka ae mai ou mai la?
5 Abafileyo basebuhlungwini obukhulu, labo abangaphansi kwamanzi lalabo abahlala kuwo.
O na mea i make, ua haalulu lakou mai lalo mai, O na wai a me kolaila poe e noho ana.
6 UKufa kwambulekile phambi kukaNkulunkulu; ikhamisile indawo yokubhubha. (Sheol )
Ua ahuwale ka ka po imua ona, Aohe uhi no kahi o ka poe i make. (Sheol )
7 Uyawendlala umkhathi wenyakatho endaweni engelalutho; aphanyeke umhlaba phezu kweze.
Ua hohola aku ia i ke kukuluakau maluna o ka neoneo, Ua kau aku i ka honua maluna o ka mea ole.
8 Ugoqele amanzi emayezini akhe, kodwa amayezi kawapatshaki yikusindwa ngamanzi.
Ua hoopaa oia i na wai maloko o na ao ona, Aole i nahae ke ao malalo o lakou.
9 Uyayigubuzela inyanga egcweleyo, endlale amayezi phezu kwayo.
Ua uhi no ia i ke alo o kona nohoalii, Ua hohola aku i kona ao maluna ona.
10 Umisa umkhawulo wokwengama umkhathi emanzini kube ngumngcele phakathi kokukhanya lobumnyama.
Ua hoopuni oia i na wai i ka palena, A hiki i kahi e pau ai ka malamalama iloko o ka pouli.
11 Izinsika zamazulu ziyazamazama, zisethuswa yikukhuza kwakhe.
O na kia o ka lani ua haalulu, A weliweli hoi i kona papa ana mai.
12 Ngamandla akhe waluthulisa ulwandle; ngenhlakanipho yakhe waquma uRahabi waba yiziqa.
Ua hoomalielie oia i ke kai ma kona mana, A ma kona naauao, hahau iho ia i kona kiekie.
13 Ngomoya wakhe umkhathi wacethula; isandla sakhe sayigwaza inyoka ibaleka.
Ma kona Uhane ua hoonani oia i na lani; Na kona lima i hana i ka nahesa e lele ana.
14 Njalo le yimisebenzi yakhe engaphandle nje ekucineni; esikuzwayo yilizwana nje lokunyenyeza kwakhe! Pho ngubani ongawuzwisisa umdumo wamandla akhe na?”
Aia hoi, oia kekahi mau mea o kona mau aoao; Nani hoi ka uuku o ka mea i loheia nona! A o ka hekili o kona mana owai la ka mea e ike pono?
