UJobe 36
1 U-Elihu waqhubeka esithi:
Elihu yi edzi be,
2 “Ake lingibekezelele okwesikhatshana ukuze ngilitshengise ukuthi kunengi okumele kutshiwo ngobuhle bukaNkulunkulu.
“Kpɔ nye asinu vie eye maɖee afia wò be nya geɖewo li magblɔ ɖe Mawu nu.
3 Ngiluzuza kude ulwazi lwami; ngithi ukwahlulela okulungileyo ngokukaMenzi wami.
Mexɔa nye gɔmesese tso afi aɖeke ɖaa, eya ta matso na nye Wɔla.
4 Yiba leqiniso ukuthi amazwi ami aqinisile; yena opheleleyo elwazini ulawe.
Kakaɖedzi nenɔ asiwò be, nye nyawo menye aʋatso o eya ta ame si si gɔmesese deto le lae le gbɔwò.
5 UNkulunkulu ulamandla, kodwa keyisi muntu; ulamandla njalo katshedi ezimisweni zakhe.
“Mawu nye Ŋusẽtɔ, etri akɔ eye meʋãna le eƒe taɖodzinu me o gake medoa vlo amewo o.
6 Ababi kabayekeli bephila kodwa abahluphekayo uyabapha okubafaneleyo.
Menana ame vɔ̃ɖiwo nɔa agbe o, ke boŋ ekpɔa hiãtɔwo ƒe hiahiãwo gbɔ na wo.
7 Kawasusi amehlo akhe kwabalungileyo; ubakhweza esihlalweni kanye lamakhosi abaphakamise nini lanini.
Meɖea eƒe ŋku ɖa le ame dzɔdzɔewo ŋu o, eɖoa wo zi dzi ɖe fiawo xa eye wòdoa wo ɖe dzi tegbetegbe.
8 Kodwa nxa abantu bebotshwe ngamaketane, bethiwe nko ngezibopho zezinhlupheko,
Ke ne wode ga amewo, hebla wo sesĩe kple hiã ƒe kawo la,
9 uyabatshela lokho abakwenzileyo, ukuthi benze isono ngokuziphakamisa.
egblɔa nu si wowɔ la na wo, esi nye be wowɔ nu vɔ̃ dadatɔe.
10 Ubenza balalele ukuqondiswa abalaye ukuthi baphenduke ebubini babo.
Enana woɖoa to ɖɔɖɔɖo eye wòɖea gbe na wo be woatrɔ le woƒe nu vɔ̃ɖi la me.
11 Nxa bemlalela bamkhonze, zonke insuku zabo eziseleyo zizaphumelela, leminyaka yabo ibe ngeyokusuthiseka.
Ne woɖo to eye wosubɔe la, woanɔ woƒe agbemeŋkeke mamlɛawo le nukpɔkpɔ me eye woƒe ƒewo ayɔ fũu kple dzidzeme.
12 Kodwa nxa bengalaleli, bazabhubha ngenkemba, bafe bengelalwazi.
Ke ne womeɖo to o la, yi atsrɔ̃ wo eye woaku numanyamanyae.
13 Abangamesabiyo uNkulunkulu bagodle ukusola enhliziyweni; loba angaze ababophe kabaceli ukusizwa.
“Fuléle le dzi me na Mawumavɔ̃lawo, ne ede kunyowu woƒe afɔwo hã la, womedoa ɣli be woaxɔ na yewo o.
14 Bafa besesebatsha, bephakathi kweziphingi ezingamadoda, ezihlala ezindaweni zokukhonzela.
Wokuna le woƒe ɖekakpui dzodzoe me, ɖe ŋutsu gbolowɔla siwo nɔa trɔ̃xɔwo me la dome.
15 Kodwa labo abahluphekayo uyabakhulula ekuhluphekeni kwabo; ukhuluma labo besezinkathazweni zabo.
Ke eɖea ame siwo le fu kpem la le woƒe fukpekpewo me eye wòƒoa nu na wo le woƒe xaxa me.
16 Uyakulimukisa ukuthi uphume emihlathini yosizi uye endaweni ebanzi, ekhululekileyo njalo engelazibopho, ebumnandini betafula yakho igcwele izidlo ezimnandi.
“Ele nuwò blem be nàdo go tso xaxa ƒe glã me, ava teƒe keke, ahavo tso dzizizi me eye nànɔ wò kplɔ̃ si dzi nuɖuɖu damiwo le fũu la ŋu le dziɖeɖi me.
17 Kodwa manje usindwa yikwahlulelwa okulungele ababi; ukuthonisiswa lokwahlulelwa ngokulunga yikho osekukuduba.
Ke azɔ la, wotsɔ ʋɔnudɔdrɔ̃ si dze na ame vɔ̃ɖiwo la do agbae na wò, ale nège ɖe afiatsotso kple tohehe ƒe asi me.
18 Qaphela kungabikhona okulingayo ngenotho; ungavumeli ukuthengwa ngemali kukususe endleleni.
Kpɔ nyuie be ame aɖeke metsɔ kesinɔnuwo ble nuwòe o eye zãnu si le kpekpem segee la nana nàdze ɖe aga o.
19 Kambe inotho yakho loba konke ukutshikatshika kwakho kungakusekela ukuze ungangeni osizini na?
Ɖe wò kesinɔnuwo alo wò kutrikuku veviwo katã alé wò ɖe asi be màɖo xaxa me oa?
20 Ungalangazeleli ubusuku, ukuze uyohudula abantu ezindaweni zabo.
Wò dzi megatsi dzi ɖe zã ƒe dodo ŋu ne nàhe amewo ado goe le woƒe aƒewo me o.
21 Qaphela ungangeni kokubi, okukhanya ingathi uyakuthanda kulokuhlupheka.
Kpɔ nyuie be mètrɔ ɖe nu vɔ̃ɖi, si nèdi wu hiã la ŋu o.
22 UNkulunkulu uphakeme ngamandla akhe. Ngubani ongafundisa njengaye na?
“Kpɔ ɖa, wodo Mawu ɖe dzi bobobo le eƒe ŋusẽ me. Ame kae nye nufiala abe eya ene?
23 Ngubani omisele izindlela zakhe na, loba othe kuye, ‘Usuwenze okungalunganga?’
Ame kae tia mɔ siwo wòato la nɛ alo gblɔ nɛ be, ‘Èwɔ nu gbegblẽ?’
24 Khumbula ukukhulisa umsebenzi wakhe, abantu abawudumisileyo ngengoma.
Ɖo ŋku edzi, nàdo eƒe dɔwɔwɔwo ɖe dzi, siwo amewo kafuna le woƒe hadzidziwo me.
25 Bonke abantu jikelele bakubonile lokhu; abantu bakukhangela bemi khatshana.
Amegbetɔwo katã kpɔe eye agbagbeawo ɖea ŋku ɖee tso adzɔge.
26 Ubukhulu bukaNkulunkulu bungaphezulu kokuzwisisa kwethu! Iminyaka yakhe ingezake yaziwe.
Mawu lolo loo, ekɔ gbɔ míaƒe gɔmesese ta! Eƒe ƒewo ƒe gɔmedidi gbɔ míaƒe nudidi ƒe ŋutete ta.
27 Uyawadonsa amathonsi amanzi, aqulungane abe lizulu elingena ezifuleni;
“Ehea tsi si le gegem toŋtoŋtoŋ la ƒoa ƒu, si dzana abe tsi ene ɖe tɔʋuwo me,
28 amayezi athulula amanzi awo kune izulu elikhulu ebantwini.
lilikpowo hã lolõa tsi si le wo me, eye tsi dzana bababa ɖe amegbetɔwo dzi.
29 Ngubani ongakuzwisisa ukuthi uwendlala njani amayezi na, ukuthi ukhwaza njani esesiqongweni sakhe na?
Ame kae ase ale si wòkeke lilikpowo, kple ale si wòɖea gbe tso eƒe agbadɔ me la gɔme?
30 Ake libone ukuthi uwuhlakaza njani umbane wakhe azizingelezele ngawo, abhukutshe ezinzikini zolwandle.
Kpɔ ale si wòkaka eƒe dzikedzo ƒo xlã eɖokui eye wòblu atsiaƒu ƒe gogloƒewo ke hã ɖa.
31 Yiyo indlela abusa ngayo izizwe aziphe ukudla okunengi.
Aleae wòkplɔa dukɔwoe eye wònaa nuɖuɖu wo le agbɔsɔsɔ me.
32 Ugcwalisa izandla zakhe ngombane awukhombise lapho omele utshaye khona.
Etsɔa dzikedzo yɔa eƒe asiwo mee eye wòdɔnɛ be wòake dzo ɖe nu si wòɖoe na la dzi.
33 Ukuduma kwakhe kubika isiphepho esizayo; lenkomo ziyatshengisa ukuza kwaso.”
Eƒe dziɖegbe ɖea gbeƒã ahom si gbɔna, nyiwo gɔ̃ hã ɖea gbeƒã, ne egbɔna.
