UJobe 34
1 U-Elihu waqhubeka esithi:
Awo Eriku ne yeeyongera okwogera nti,
2 “Zwanini amazwi ami, lina madoda ahlakaniphileyo; lalelani kimi, lina madoda ayizifundiswa.
“Muwulire ebigambo byange, mmwe abasajja ab’amagezi; mumpulirize mmwe abayivu.
3 Phela indlebe iyawahlola amazwi njengolimi lunambitha ukudla.
Kubanga okutu kugezesa ebigambo ng’olulimi bwe lugezesa emmere.
4 Asizihluzeleni thina okulungileyo; kasifundeni ndawonye okuhle.
Leka twesalirewo ekituufu; muleke tulondewo ekisaanidde.
5 UJobe uthi, ‘Kangilacala, kodwa uNkulunkulu kangahluleli ngokulunga.
“Yobu agamba nti, ‘Siriiko musango, naye Katonda agaanye okusala omusango gwange mu mazima.
6 Loba mina ngiqondile, kuthiwa ngilamanga; loba ngingelacala, umtshoko wakhe ungihlaba isilonda esingelaphekiyo.’
Wadde nga ndi mutuufu, ntwalibwa okuba omulimba, wadde nga siriiko musango, akasaale ke kanteseeko ekiwundu ekitawonyezeka.’
7 UJobe kanti ungumuntu bani, onatha ukuklolodela njengamanzi?
Musajja ki ali nga Yobu, anywa okunyoomebwa ng’anywa amazzi?
8 Uzwanana labantu abenza ububi; uhambisana labantu ababi.
Atambula n’abakozi b’ebibi, mukwano gw’abo abakola ebitali bya butuukirivu.
9 Ngoba uthi, ‘Umuntu kakumsizi ngalutho ukuzama ukuthokozisa uNkulunkulu.’
Kubanga agambye nti, ‘Omuntu talina kyaganyulwa bw’agezaako okusanyusa Katonda.’
10 Ngakho lalelani kimi lina madoda azwisisayo. Kakube khatshana laye uNkulunkulu ukwenza ububi, khatshana kukaSomandla ukona.
Noolwekyo mumpulirize mmwe abasajja abalina okutegeera. Kikafuuwe Katonda okukola ebibi, wadde Ayinzabyonna okukola ebikyamu.
11 Uyamphindisela umuntu ngalokho akwenzileyo; umehlisela lokho okufanele ukuziphatha kwakhe.
Asasula omuntu olw’ekyo ky’aba akoze; n’amutuusaako ebyo ebimusaanidde olw’empisa ze.
12 Kakungeni engqondweni ukuthi uNkulunkulu angenza ububi, ukuthi uSomandla angakutshila ukwahlulela ngokulunga.
Weewaawo amazima gali nti, Katonda tasobya. Ayinzabyonna tasaliriza musango.
13 Ngubani owambekayo phezu komhlaba na? Ngubani owathi kalawule umhlaba wonke na?
Obuyinza yabuggya eri ani okukulembera ensi? Ani eyamuwa olukusa okufuga ensi yonna?
14 Aluba wayengathanda asuse umoya wakhe lokuphefumula,
Singa asalawo n’atwala omwoyo gw’omuntu awamu n’omukka gwe,
15 bonke abantu babengatshabalala kanyekanye, umuntu wayezabuyela othulini.
abantu bonna bandizikiriridde wamu, era omuntu yandizzeeyo mu nfuufu.
16 Nxa lilokuzwisisa, zwanini lokhu; lalelani lokhu engikutshoyo.
“Bw’oba olina okutegeera, wuliriza kino; wuliriza kye ŋŋamba.
17 Kambe lowo ozonda ukwahlulela ngokulunga angabusa na? Liyamlahla yini Yena oqotho njalo olamandla?
Oyo atayagala bwenkanya asobola okufuga? Onoosalira abatuukirivu n’oyo ow’amaanyi omusango?
18 Kayisuye yini othi emakhosini, ‘Kalisizi lutho,’ athi kwabayizikhulu, ‘Libabi,’
Oyo si ye agamba bakabaka nti, ‘Tolina mugaso,’ n’abakungu nti, ‘Oli mukozi wa bibi,’
19 ongatshengisi ukwazisa amakhosana kulabanye loba athande abanothileyo kulabayanga, ngoba bonke bangumsebenzi wezandla zakhe?
atattira balangira ku liiso era nga tafa ku bagagga kusinga bw’afa ku baavu, kubanga egyo gye mirimu gy’emikono gye?
20 Bayafa nje masinyane, loba phakathi kobusuku; abantu bayanyikinywa bedlule; abalamandla bayasuswa kungelasandla somuntu.
Mu kaseera buseera baba bafiiridde wakati mu ttumbi. Abantu banyeenyezebwa ne baggyibwawo. Abo ab’amaanyi batwalibwa n’omukono ogutali gw’abantu.
21 Amehlo akhe aphezu kwezindlela zabantu; ubona zonke izinyathelo zabo.
“Amaaso ge gatunuulira amakubo g’abantu; atunuulira buli kigere kye batambula.
22 Akulandawo emnyama loba ithunzi elisithileyo, lapho abenzi bobubi abangacatsha khona.
Teri kifo kikwafu wadde ekisiikirize eky’amaanyi, ababi gye bayinza okwekweka.
23 UNkulunkulu kasweli ukuthi aphinde abahlolisise abantu, ukuze abalethe ekwahlulelweni phambi kwakhe.
Katonda teyeetaaga kwongera kwekebejja bantu okulabika mu maaso ge okusalirwa omusango.
24 Engaqalanga wahlola uyabaphahlaza abalamandla abeke abanye endaweni yabo.
Awatali kwebuuza ku muntu yenna, amenyaamenya ab’amaanyi n’ateekawo abalala mu kifo kyabwe.
25 Ngoba ezinanzelela izenzo zabo, uyabagenqula ebusuku bahlifizeke.
Olw’okubanga amanyi ebikolwa byabwe, abamalamu amaanyi ekiro ne babetentebwa.
26 Uyabajezisa ngenxa yobubi babo kube segcekeni emuntwini wonke,
Ababonereza olw’ebikolwa byabwe ebibi abantu bonna nga balaba,
27 ngoba baphambuka ekumlandeleni abaze banaka layiphi indlela yakhe.
kubanga baamuvaako ne balekeraawo okumugoberera ne bataddayo kufaayo n’akatono ku makubo ge gonna.
28 Benza ukukhala kwabayanga kweza phambi kwakhe, laye wakuzwa ukukhala kwabasweleyo.
Baleetera abaavu okukaaba, ne kumutuukako era n’awulira okukaaba kw’abanyigirizibwa.
29 Kodwa nxa elokhu ezithulele, ngubani ongamsola na? Angafihla ubuso bakhe ngubani ongambona na? Kanti uphezu komuntu lesizwe ngokufanayo,
Naye bw’asalawo obutabaako ky’ayogera, ani ayinza okumunenya? Bwakweka amaaso ge ani ayinza okumulaba? Eggwanga n’omuntu abalinako obuyinza bwe bumu;
30 ukwalela ongamesabiyo uNkulunkulu ukuthi abuse, ukuze angafakeli abantu izifu.
aziyiza omuntu atatya Katonda okufuga, aleme okutega abantu emitego.
31 Akesithi umuntu athi kuNkulunkulu, ‘Ngilecala kodwa kangisayikona njalo.
“Singa omuntu agamba Katonda nti, gunsinze, sikyaddayo kwonoona,
32 Ngifundisa lokho engingakuboniyo; nxa ngenze okubi, kangisayikuphinda ngikwenze.’
kye sitegeera kinjigirize, bwe mba nga nsobezza sikyaddayo kukikola,
33 Pho uNkulunkulu akuvuze ngokwentando yakho na, wena usala ukuphenduka? Kumele ukhethe wena, hatshi mina; ngakho ngitshela lokho okwaziyo.
olwo Katonda akuddemu nga bw’oyagala, akuleke ng’ogaanye okwenenya? Kaakano ggwe olina okusalawo, so sinze; noolwekyo mbuulira ggwe ky’omanyi.
34 Amadoda alokuqedisisa azakutsho, amadoda ahlakaniphileyo abangizwayo ngisithi kini,
“Abantu abalina okutegeera mumbuulire, abasajja abagezi abawulira muntegeeze,
35 ‘UJobe ukhuluma engelalwazi; amazwi akhe kawalambono.’
‘Yobu ayogeza butamanya ebigambo bye tebiriimu kwolesebwa.’
36 Oh, uJobe angasake alingwe ngokweqileyo ngoba uphendule njengomuntu omubi!
Singa Yobu agezesebbwa okutuusa ku nkomerero, olw’okwogera ng’abasajja abakozi b’ebibi!
37 Phezu kwesono sakhe wengeza ukuhlamuka; uyakloloda ngokuqakeza izandla zakhe phakathi kwethu andise amazwi akhe aphikisa uNkulunkulu.”
Kubanga ku kibi kye ayongeddeko obujeemu, n’akuba mu ngalo wakati mu ffe, n’ayongera okwogera ng’awakanya Katonda.”
