UJobe 28
1 Kulomgodi wesiliva lendawo lapho okucengwa khona igolide.
“Ko e moʻoni ʻoku ai ʻae halanga ki he siliva, mo e potu ki he koula ʻoku fakamaʻa ʻe he kakai.
2 Insimbi ithathwa emhlabathini, lethusi lincibilikiswa emanyeleni.
ʻOku toʻo ʻae ʻaione mei he kelekele, pea ʻoku haka ʻae palasa mei he maka.
3 Umuntu uyawuxotsha umnyama; uguduza ezingoxweni eziphansi kude edinga amanyele emnyameni othe bhuqe.
ʻOku ne fakangata ʻae fakapoʻuli, pea ne kumi ki hono ngataʻanga: ko e ngaahi maka ʻoe poʻuli mo e ʻata ʻoe mate.
4 Khatshana kwezindawo zabantu ugebha umgodi, ezindaweni lapho okungafiki nyawo lwamuntu; khatshana kwabantu uyalenga, azunguzeke.
ʻOku ʻoho mai ʻae vai mei he potu ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae kakai; ne ngalo ia ʻi he kau vaʻe: kuo matuʻu hake ia, ʻo mole atu mei he kakai.
5 Umhlaba, okuphuma kuwo ukudla, uyaguquka ngaphansi ingathi utshiswe ngomlilo;
ʻOku tupu ʻae mā mei he kelekele: pea ʻoku fulihi ʻi lalo ia ʻo hangē ko e afi.
6 amasafire amatshe amahle ayaphuma emadwaleni, uthuli lwawo lugcwele igolide.
Ko hono ngaahi maka ko e potu ia ʻoe ngaahi safaia: pea ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae efu koula.
7 Kakukho nyoni edla inyama eyaziyo leyondlela efihlekileyo, kakulalihlo laluphi ukhozi oselwake lwayibona.
Ko e hala eni ʻoku ʻikai ʻiloʻi ʻe he manupuna, pea kuo ʻikai mamata ki ai ʻae mata ʻoe vulita.
8 Izilo ezizithembileyo kazilubeki unyawo kuyo, njalo kakulasilwane esizingela khona.
Naʻe ʻikai moloki ia ʻe he fānganga ʻoe laione, pe ʻalu ʻi ai ʻae laione fekai.
9 Isandla somuntu yiso esihlasela idwala eliyinsengetshe siveze obala impande zezintaba.
ʻOku ne ʻai hono nima ki he maka; ʻoku taʻaki fuʻu hake ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi moʻunga.
10 Uyaligubha idwala angene; ilihlo lakhe liwabone wonke amagugu alo.
ʻOku ne matofa ʻae ngaahi tafeʻanga vai ʻi he ngaahi maka; pea ʻoku mamata ʻa hono mata ki he meʻa mahuʻinga kotoa pē.
11 Uyathungatha lapho okudabuka khona imifula aveze obala izinto ezifihlekileyo.
ʻOku ne nonoʻo ʻae ngaahi vai ke ʻoua naʻa mafola ia; pea ko ia naʻe fufū ʻoku ne ʻomi ki he maama.
12 Kodwa ukuhlakanipha kungafunyanwa ngaphi na? Kuhlala ngaphi na ukuzwisisa?
“Ka ʻe ʻilo ki fē ʻae poto? Pea komaʻa ia ʻae potu ʻoe ʻilo?
13 Umuntu kakuzwisisi ukuqakatheka kwakho; kakufunyanwa elizweni labaphilayo.
Ko hono mahuʻinga ʻo ia ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻe he tangata; pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ia ʻi he fonua ʻoe moʻui.
14 Phansi ekujuleni kuthi, “Kakukho kimi”; ulwandle luthi, “Kangilakho mina.”
ʻOku pehē ʻe he loloto, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ʻiate au ia:’ ʻoku pehē mo e tahi, ‘ʻOku ʻikai ʻiate au.’
15 Kungeke kwathengwa ngegolide elicolekileyo, njalo lentengo yakho ingeke yalinganiswa ngesiliva.
ʻE ʻikai faʻa maʻu ia ʻaki ʻae koula, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamamafa ʻae siliva mo hono totongi ʻoʻona.
16 Kungeke kwathengwa ngegolide lase-Ofiri, loba nge-onikisi kumbe isafire.
ʻE ʻikai fakatauʻaki ia ʻae koula ʻo Ofeli, pe ko e oniki mahuʻinga, pe ko e safaia.
17 Kungazake kulinganiswe legolide loba amatshe akhazimulayo, njalo kakuzuzwa ngemiceciso yegolide.
ʻOku ʻikai tatau mo ia ʻae koula mo e kalisitala: pea ʻe ʻikai fetongi ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi teunga koula lelei.
18 Amatshe amahle ekhorali lejaspa lawo kawabalwa lapha; intengo yokuhlakanipha ingaphezulu kwamarubhi.
ʻE ʻikai lau ki ai ʻae feo kulokula, mo e mataʻitofe: he ko e mahuʻinga ʻoe poto ʻoku lahi hake ia ʻi he ngaahi maka mahuʻinga.
19 Ithophazi yaseKhushi ngeke ilinganiswe lakho; ngeke kuthengwe langegolide elicolekileyo.
ʻOku ʻikai tatau mo ia ʻae topasi ʻo ʻItiopea, pea ʻe ʻikai totongi ʻaki ia ʻae koula haohaoa.
20 Pho kuvela ngaphi ukuhlakanipha na? Kuhlala ngaphi ukuzwisisa?
Ko ia, ʻoku haʻu mei fē ʻae poto? pea ko maʻā ia ʻae potu ʻoe ʻilo?
21 Kufihliwe emehlweni ento yonke ephilayo, kucatshisiwe lakuzo izinyoni zasemoyeni.
He kuo fufū ia mei he mata ʻoe moʻui kotoa pē, pea fakalilolilo mei he fanga manu ʻoe ʻatā.
22 INcithakalo loKufa kuthi, “Amahungahunga akho yiwo kuphela esiwezwayo.”
ʻOku pehē ʻe he fakaʻauha mo e mate, ‘Kuo ma fanongo ki hono ongoongo ʻo ia ʻaki homa telinga.’
23 UNkulunkulu uyayizwisisa indlela yakho njalo nguye yedwa okwaziyo lapho okuhlala khona,
“ʻOku ʻiloʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa hono hala, pea ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi mo hono potu.
24 ngoba uyayikhangela imikhawulo yomhlaba akubone konke okungaphansi kwamazulu.
He ʻoku ne sio ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani, pea ʻoku ne ʻafioʻi ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi lalo langi;
25 Wathi emisa umfutho womoya, elinganisa isimo samanzi,
Ke ne ngaohi ʻae mamafa ʻoe matangi; pea ʻoku ne tuʻutuʻuni ʻae ngaahi vai ʻi he fuofua.
26 wathi ebeka umthetho wezulu elinayo lendlela yezulu elilesiphepho,
ʻI heʻene fokotuʻu ʻae fono ki he ʻuha, pea mo e hala ki he ʻuhila ʻoe mana:
27 wasekukhangela ukuhlakanipha wakuhlola butsha; wakukholwa wakuqinisa, wakulinga ukuthi kuqinile.
Ko ia naʻa ne mamata ki ai, pea fakahā ia; naʻa ne fokotuʻumaʻu ia, ʻio, pea naʻa ne hakule ki ai.
28 Wathi emuntwini, “Ukumesaba uThixo yikho ukuhlakanipha, lokuxwaya ububi yikho ukuzwisisa.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki he tangata, ‘Vakai, ko e manavahē kia Sihova, ko e poto ia; pea ko e afe mei he kovi ko e ʻilo ia.’”
