UJobe 32
1 Amadoda la womathathu ema ukuphendula uJobe ngoba wayelungile ngokubona kwakhe.
Naʻe tuku ai ʻe he kau tangata ʻe toko tolu ni ʻenau lea atu kia Siope, koeʻuhi naʻe māʻoniʻoni ia ʻi hono mata ʻoʻona.
2 Kodwa u-Elihu indodana kaBharakeli umBhuzi, owendlu kaRamu, wamzondela uJobe ngokuzigeza yena endaweni yokugezwa nguNkulunkulu.
Pea naʻe tupu ʻae ʻita ʻa Elihu ko e foha ʻo Palakela ko e tangata Pusa, ʻi he kāinga ʻo Lame: naʻe tupu ʻene ʻita kia Siope, koeʻuhi naʻa ne fakatonuhiaʻi ia ʻe ia kae ʻikai ko e ʻOtua.
3 Wayebazondele njalo labangane labo bobathathu ngoba babengayitholanga indlela yokuphikisa uJobe kodwa bemlahlile ngokumsola.
Naʻe ʻita foki ia ki hono kāinga ʻe toko tolu, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau faʻa talia ʻa Siope, ka kuo nau talatalaakiʻi ia.
4 U-Elihu wayeke wema ukukhuluma loJobe ngoba babebadala kulaye.
Ka naʻe tatali ʻa Elihu kaeʻoua ke ʻosi ʻae lea ʻa Siope, koeʻuhi naʻa nau motuʻa ʻiate ia.
5 Kodwa kwathi esebona ukuthi wonke amadoda womathathu ayengaselalutho ayengalutsho, ulaka lwakhe lwavutha.
Pea ʻi he vakai ʻa Elihu kuo ʻikai ha tali ʻi he ngutu ʻoe kau tangata ʻe toko tolu ni, naʻe tupu ʻene ʻita.
6 Ngakho-ke u-Elihu indodana kaBharakeli umBhuzi wathi: “Ngimncinyane ngeminyaka, lina libadala; yikho bengisesaba, ngithikaza ukutsho engikwaziyo.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Elihu ko e foha ʻo Palakela ko e tangata Pusa, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ou siʻi au, kae motuʻa ʻakimoutolu; ko ia ne u manavahē ai, ʻo taʻefiefakahā ʻa hoku loto.
7 Ngikhumbule ngathi, ‘Kakukhulume ubudala; iminyaka yokukhula kayifundise ukuhlakanipha.’
Ne u pehē, ‘ʻE lea ʻae ngaahi ʻaho, pea ʻe akonekina ke poto ʻe he ngaahi taʻu lahi.’
8 Kodwa kungumoya osemuntwini, ukuphefumula kukaSomandla, okumupha ukuqedisisa.
Ka ʻoku ai ʻae laumālie ʻi he tangata, pea ʻoku foaki kiate ia ʻae ʻilo lahi ʻe he fakamānava ʻae Māfimafi.
9 Kakusibo bodwa abadala abahlakaniphileyo, njalo kakusibo bodwa abalupheleyo abakuzwisisayo okulungileyo.
ʻOku ʻikai poto ʻae houʻeiki kotoa pē, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻe he mātuʻa ʻae fakamaau.
10 Ngakho ngithi: Lalelani kimi; lami ngizalitshela engikwaziyo.
Ko ia ne u pehē ai, ‘Fanongo mai kiate au; te u fakahā foki hoku loto.’
11 Bengithule lisakhuluma, ngikulalele ukucabanga kwenu; lathi lisadinga amazwi,
“Vakai, ne u tatali ki hoʻomou ngaahi lea; naʻaku fakafanongo ki hoʻomou ngaahi fakamatala, ʻi he lolotonga homou hakule ki haʻamou lea.
12 ngalilalela ngokupheleleyo. Kodwa kakho lamunye kini otshengise ukuthi uJobe ulahlekile; kakho omunye wenu osephendule imibono yakhe.
ʻIo, ne u tokangaʻi ʻakimoutolu, pea vakai, kuo ʻikai ha taha ʻiate kimoutolu kuo ne lavaʻi ʻa Siope, pe tali ʻene ngaahi lea:
13 Lingaze lathi, ‘Sesikutholile ukuhlakanipha; uNkulunkulu kaveze ukuphosisa kwakhe, hatshi umuntu.’
Telia naʻa mou pehē, ‘Kuo mau ʻiloʻi ʻae poto: ʻoku lī hifo ia ʻe he ʻOtua, kae ʻikai ko e tangata.’
14 Kodwa uJobe kakaqondisisi amazwi akhe kimi, futhi kangiyikumphendula ngendlela yenu yokuphikisa.
Pea ko eni, naʻe ʻikai te ne lea fakatotonu mai kiate au: pea ʻe ʻikai te u tali ʻaki ia ʻa hoʻomou ngaahi lea.
15 Sebededile kabaselakho okunye abangakutsho; sebesilela amazwi.
“Naʻe ofo ʻakinautolu, ʻo ʻikai te nau toe lea: pea fakalongo pe.
16 Ngike ngime na njengoba sebethule, sebemi nje laphayana bengaselampendulo?
Pea kuo u tatali, (he naʻe ʻikai te nau lea, kae tutuʻu pe, ʻo ʻikai toe lea: )
17 Lami ngisake ngikhulume; lami ngizakutsho engikwaziyo.
Pea ne u pehē, ‘Te u tali foki ʻeau ʻi hoku lakanga, te u fakahā foki hoku loto.’
18 Ngoba manengi amazwi engilawo, umoya ongaphakathi kwami uyangifuqa;
He ʻoku ou pito ʻi he ngaahi lea, ʻoku fakangaueʻi au ʻe hoku laumālie.
19 ngaphakathi ngiyafuthelana njengewayini elivalelwe embodleleni; njengemixhaka yewayini esifuna ukudubuka.
Vakai, ʻoku tatau hoku loto mo e uaine taʻehanoava; ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi hina ʻoe uaine foʻou, ʻoku toe siʻi pea mahaehae.
20 Kumele ngikhulume ukuze ngibhodle; kumele ngivule indebe zami ngiphendule.
Te u lea kau fiemālie: te u faʻai hoku loungutu ʻo tali.
21 Kangizukutshengisa ubandlululo loba kukubani, futhi kangisoze ngiyenge muntu;
ʻOfa ke ʻoua naʻaku filifilimānako ki ha taha, pea ʻoua naʻaku ʻai ʻae hingoa fakalapu ki ha tangata.
22 ngoba ngabe ngangiligabazi ekukhulumeni, uMenzi wami ubezangisusa masinyane.”
He ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ke ʻai ʻae hingoa lapu; telia naʻa ʻave fakavave ai au ʻe hoku Tupuʻanga.
