UJobe 31
1 “Ngasenza isivumelwano lamehlo ami ukuthi angakhangeli intombi ayihawukele.
“Naʻa ku fai ʻae fuakava mo hoku mata; pea ka kuo pehē, ko e hā te u siofia ai ha taʻahine?
2 Siyini isabelo somuntu asabelwe nguNkulunkulu ophezulu na, ilifa lakhe elivela kuSomandla phezulu?
He ko e hā ʻae ʻinasi mei he ʻOtua ʻi ʻolunga? Pea mo e tufakanga mei he Māfimafi ʻi ʻolunga?
3 Akusikubhujiswa kwababi lokutshabalaliswa kwalabo abenza okubi na?
ʻIkai ʻoku ʻi he kau angahala ʻae malaʻia? Mo e fakaʻauha foʻou ki he kau fai kovi?
4 Kanti kaziboni yini izindlela zami abale zonke izinyathelo zami?
ʻIkai ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi hoku ngaahi hala, pea lau ʻeku ngaahi laka kotoa pē?
5 Nxa ngike ngahamba ngokwamanga loba unyawo lwami lwakhuthalela inkohliso
“He kapau naʻaku ʻalu ʻi he loi, pea kapau teu veʻe vave ki he kākā;
6 uNkulunkulu akangikale esikalini sakhe esiqotho ukuze abone ukuthi angilasici,
Tuku ke fakamamafa au ʻi he meʻa fakatatau totonu, koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa ʻeku angatonu.
7 nxa izinyathelo zami zike zaphambuka endleleni, nxa inhliziyo yami ikhokhelwe ngamehlo ami, noma kumbe izandla zami zike zangcoliswa,
He kapau naʻaku laka hē mei he hala, pea muimui hoku loto ki hoku mata, pe piki ha ʻuli ki hoku nima;
8 lapho-ke abanye kabazidlele lokho engikuhlanyeleyo, njalo amabele ami kawasitshunwe.
Tuku ai ke u tūtuuʻi kae kai ʻe ha taha kehe; ʻio, ke taʻaki fuʻu hake ʻa hoku taʻu.
9 Nxa inhliziyo yami ike yakhangwa ngowesifazane, kumbe nxa ngike ngacathama ngasemnyango kamakhelwane,
“Kapau naʻe kākaaʻi ʻa hoku loto ʻe ha fefine, pe te u toitoi ʻi he matapā ʻo hoku kaungāʻapi;
10 lapho-ke owami umfazi kacholele enye indoda, njalo amanye amadoda kawalale laye.
Pea tuku ke momosi ʻa hoku uaifi mo ha taha, pea mapelu ki ai ha niʻihi kehe.
11 Ngoba lokho bekuzakuba lihlazo, isono esifanele ukwahlulelwa.
He ko e hia matea ia, ʻio, ko e angahala ke tautea ʻe he kau fakamaau.
12 Kungumlilo otshisayo onguMaqothula; ngabe kwasiphuna isivuno sami.
He ko e afi ia ʻoku ne kai ʻo aʻu ki he fakaʻauha, pea ʻe ʻosiʻosingamālie ai ʻeku koloa.
13 Nxa ngingaphathanga kuhle izisebenzi zami, esesilisa lesesifazane nxa kukhona abakusolayo kimi,
“Kapau naʻaku lumaʻi ʻae meʻa ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki pe ko ʻeku kaunanga, ʻi he ʻena fai mo au.
14 ngizakuthini lapho uNkulunkulu esengibuza ngakho na? Ngizaphendula ngithini nxa sekumele ngichaze na?
Ko e hā ai te u fai ʻoka tuʻu hake ʻae ʻOtua? Pea ʻoka ʻaʻahi ʻe ia, ko e hā te u tali ʻaki ia?
15 Yena lowo owangenzayo esibelethweni kabenzanga labo na? Kasuye yini yena kanye owasenzayo sonke phakathi kwezisu zabomama na?
He ʻikai naʻe ngaohi ia ʻe ia naʻa ne ngaohi au ʻi he manāva? Pea ʻikai naʻe fakatupu ʻakimaua ʻosi pe ʻi he manāva ʻe he tokotaha?
16 Nxa ngilahlele eceleni izifiso zabayanga loba ngayekela amehlo omfelokazi edinwa yizinyembezi,
“Kapau ne u taʻofi ʻae masiva mei heʻenau holi, pe fai ke vaivai ʻae mata ʻoe fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti;
17 nxa ngizidlele ngedwa isinkwa sami, ngingasabelani lezintandane,
Pea kuo u kai vale haʻaku meʻa siʻi, ʻo ʻikai te ma kai ia mo e tamai mate;
18 kodwa ebutsheni bami ngabondla njengaboyise, njalo kusukela ekuzalweni kwami ngamkhokhela umfelokazi,
(He ʻoku talu ʻeku lahi hake mo ʻene ʻiate au, ʻo hangē ko haʻane tamai, pea talu ʻeku haʻu mei he manāva ʻo ʻeku faʻē mo ʻeku fakahinohino ia; )
19 nxa ngike ngabona umuntu esifa ngokuswela izigqoko, loba umuntu oswelayo engelasivunulo,
Kapau kuo u mamata ki ha taha ʻoku mate koeʻuhi ko e telefua, pe ha masiva taʻehakofu;
20 njalo inhliziyo yakhe ayingibusisanga ngokumfudumeza ngoboya bezimvu zami,
Kapau naʻe ʻikai tāpuaki au ʻe hono noʻotanga vala, pea ʻikai māfana ia ʻi he fulufulu ʻo ʻeku fanga sipi;
21 nxa ngike ngaphakamisa isandla sami phezu kwentandane, kodwa mina ngikwazi ukuthi bayangilalela emthethwandaba,
Kapau kuo u hiki hoku nima ki he tamai mate, ʻi heʻeku ʻilo ʻoku ou mālohi ʻi he matapā:
22 nxa kunjalo kayikhumuke ingalo yami kusukela ehlombe, kayephulwe endololwaneni.
ʻOfa ke homo hoku uma mei hoku hui fohe, pea fesiʻi hoku nima ʻi he hokotanga hui.
23 Ngoba ngesaba ukubhubhisa kukaNkulunkulu, kwathi ngokwesaba inkazimulo yakhe, ngayekela ukwenza izinto ezinjalo.
He ko e fakaʻauha mei he ʻOtua ko e meʻa fakailifia kiate au, pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ngeia naʻe ʻikai te u faʻa kātakiʻi.
24 Nxa ngifake ithemba lami phezu kwegolide, loba ngathi kulo igolide elicolekileyo, ‘Ulithemba lami,’
“He kapau naʻaku ʻamanaki ki he koula, pe te u pehē ki he koula lelei, ‘Ko hoku falalaʻanga koe;’
25 nxa bengithokoziswa yinotho yami enengi, lenzuzo evele ngezandla zami,
Kapau naʻaku fiefia ʻi he tupu ʻo lahi ʻeku koloa, pea koeʻuhi kuo maʻu lahi ʻe hoku nima;
26 nxa ngilikhangele ilanga libenyezela loba inyanga ihamba ngenkazimulo,
Kapau naʻaku siofia ʻae laʻā ʻi heʻene ulo, pe ko e māhina ʻoku hāʻele ʻi he ngingila;
27 yaze yayengeka inhliziyo yami ngaphakathi nganga isandla sami ukuzikhonza,
Pea kuo fasiaʻi fufū pe hoku loto, pe ʻuma hoku ngutu ki hoku nima:
28 lezi lazo yizono ebezifanele ukwahlulelwa, ngoba bengizabe ngingathembekanga kuNkulunkulu ophezulu.
Ko e angahala foki ia ke fakamaauʻi he ka ne pehē, ko ʻeku liʻaki ia ʻae ʻOtua ʻoku ʻi ʻolunga.
29 Nxa ngike ngathokoza ngomnyama owehlele isitha sami kumbe ngagqabhaza ngohlupho olumehleleyo,
He kapau naʻaku fiefia ʻi he ʻauha ʻo ia naʻe fehiʻa kiate au, pe te u angahiki ki ai ʻoka moʻua ia ʻe he kovi:
30 kangivumelanga umlomo wami ukuba wenze isono ngokuqalekisa ukuphila kwakhe,
Ka naʻe ʻikai te u tuku ke angahala ai ʻa hoku ngutu, ʻi he fakaʻamu ke tō ha malaʻia ki hono laumālie.
31 nxa abantu bendlu yami bengakaze bathi, ‘Ngubani ongazange azitike ngenyama kaJobe na?’
ʻIkai ʻoku faʻa pehē ʻe heʻeku kau nofoʻanga, Naʻe holi ʻe hai ki haʻane meʻakai pea ʻikai mākona ai?
32 kodwa kakulasihambi esake salala emgwaqweni, ngoba umnyango wami wawuhlala uvulelwe izihambi
Naʻe ʻikai mohe ʻae muli ʻi he hala: ka ne u fakaava hoku matapā ke talia ʻae fononga.
33 nxa ngisithukuzile isono sami njengokwenziwa ngabantu, ngokufihla umlandu wami enhliziyweni yami
He naʻaku fufū koā ʻeku angahala ʻo hangē ko ʻAtama, ʻo fakalilolilo ʻeku hia ʻi hoku fatafata?
34 ngoba ngisesaba abantu ngithuthunyeliswa yikweyiswa ngabosendo ngazithulela ngaze ngala lokuphumela phandle.
Pea te u manavahē ki he fuʻu tokolahi? Pe fakailifiaʻi au ʻe he manuki ʻae ngaahi fānau, ke u longo ai, ʻo taʻehū atu ʻi he matapā?
35 (Oh, kube ukhona ongizwayo! Sengisayina incwadi yokuzivikela kwami, uSomandla kangiphendule; ongimangalelayo kabhale phansi icala angethesa lona.
Taumaiā kuo ʻi ai ha tokotaha ʻe fie fanongo kiate au! Vakai, ko hoku loto ke talia au ʻe he Māfimafi, pea ke fai ha tohi ʻe hoku fili.
36 Leyoncwadi ngingayithwala ehlombe lami, ngingayithwala ekhanda njengomqhele.
Ko e moʻoni te u hili ia ki hoku uma, ʻo nonoʻo ia kiate au ʻo hangē ha pale.
37 Bengingamchazela ngokugcweleyo ngazozonke izinyathelo zami; ngisondele kuye njengenkosana.)
Te u ʻaʻau atu kiate ia ʻae lau ʻo ʻeku ngaahi laka; te u ʻalu atu ʻo hangē ha ʻeiki ke ofi kiate ia.
38 Nxa ilizwe lakithi lingiphika lemifolo yalo imanzi ngezinyembezi,
He kapau kuo tangi ʻe hoku fonua kiate au, pe lāunga ʻa hono ngaahi keliʻanga;
39 nxa ngike ngadla izithelo zalo angaze ngabhadala loba ngephula imimoya yabanikazi,
Pea kapau kuo u kai taʻetotongi ʻa hono ngaahi fua, pe te u fakamamahiʻi ʻae laumālie ʻokinautolu naʻe tauhi ki ai:
40 nxa kunjalo kakumile ameva esikhundleni sengqoloyi, lokhula esikhundleni sebhali.” Aphela lapha amazwi kaJobe.
ʻOfa ke tupu ai ʻae talatalaʻāmoa ko e fetongi ʻoe uite, mo e ʻakau taʻeʻaonga ko e fetongi ʻoe paʻale.” Kuo ngata ʻae fakamatala ʻa Siope.
