UJobe 37
1 “Konke lokhu kwenza inhliziyo yami itshaye ize itshede endaweni yayo.
“ʻOku tetetete hoku loto foki ʻi he meʻa ni, pea homo mei hono potu.
2 Lalela! Lalela ukubhonga kwelizwi lakhe, ukuzamazama okuphuma emlonyeni wakhe.
Ke ke fanongo lelei ki he longoaʻa ʻo hono leʻo, mo e fatulisi ʻoku ʻalu atu mei hono fofonga.
3 Uyawukhulula umbane wakhe ngaphansi kwawo wonke amazulu awuthumele emikhawulweni yomhlaba.
ʻOku ne fakahinohino ia ʻi he lalo langi kotoa pē, mo ʻene ʻuhila ʻoku aʻu atu ki he ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻo māmani.
4 Ngemva kwalokho kuza umdumo wokubhonga kwakhe; uduma ngelizwi lakhe lobukhosi. Nxa ilizwi lakhe seliqaqamba ulikhulula lonke angaligodli.
Hili ia ʻoku ʻuʻulu ʻae leʻo: ʻoku ne mana ʻaki ʻae leʻo ʻo hono ngeia; pea ʻi he ongoʻi ʻo hono leʻo ʻe ʻikai te ne taʻofi ia.
5 Ilizwi likaNkulunkulu liduma ngezindlela ezimangalisayo; wenza izinto ezinkulu ngaphezu kokuzwisisa kwethu.
ʻOku mana fakamanavahē mai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻaki hono leʻo; ʻoku fai ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai te tau faʻa ʻiloʻi.
6 Utshela ungqwaqwane athi, ‘Khithika phezu komhlaba,’ lezulu athi kulo, ‘Thululeka ube yisihlambo esikhulu.’
He ʻoku pehē ʻe ia ki he ʻuha hinehina, ‘Ke ke ʻi he kelekele koe;’ pea pehē pe ki he taumosi, mo e ʻuha lahi foki ʻo hono mālohi.
7 Ukuze kuthi bonke abantu abadalayo bakwazi ukusebenza kwakhe, uyamisa umuntu wonke emsebenzini wakhe.
ʻOku ne tāpuni ʻae nima ʻoe tangata kotoa pē; koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he tangata kotoa pē ʻa ʻene ngāue.
8 Izinyamazana ziyacatsha; zihlale ezikhundleni zazo.
Pea ʻoku toki hū ʻae fanga manu ki he ngaahi ʻana, ʻo nofo ʻi honau ngaahi potu.
9 Isiphepho siyaphuma ekamelweni laso, umqando uphume entshongolweni esikayo.
ʻOku haʻu ʻae ʻahiohio mei he feituʻu tonga: mo e momoko mei he tokelau.
10 Ukuphefumula kukaNkulunkulu kukhupha iliqhwa, amanzi aluwaca ajiye abe yilitshe.
ʻOku tupu ʻae hahau ʻi he mānava ʻae ʻOtua; pea ʻoku ʻapiʻapi ai ʻae māukupu ʻoe ngaahi vai.
11 Ugcwalisa amayezi ngamanzi; ahlakaze umbane wakhe ngawo.
Pea ʻi he faʻa ʻuha ʻoku ne fakamanifinifi ʻae ʻao matolu: ʻoku ne veteki ʻa ʻene ʻao ngingila:
12 Ngokuqondisa kwakhe ayaqhela embese umhlaba wonke ukuze enze loba yini awalaya yona.
Pea ʻoku ʻave fakatakamilo ia ʻe heʻene fakakaukau: koeʻuhi ke nau fai ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ne fekau kiate kinautolu ʻi he funga ʻo māmani ʻi he fonua.
13 Uyawaletha amayezi ajezise ngawo abantu, loba ukuthelezela umhlaba wakhe ukuze atshengise uthando lwakhe.
ʻOku ne pule ke haʻu ia, ko e meʻa tautea, pe ko e meʻa ʻa hono fonua, pe ʻi he ʻaloʻofa.
14 Lalela lokhu, Jobe; akume ukhumbule izimangaliso zikaNkulunkulu.
“Ke ke fakafanongo ʻe Siope, ki he meʻa ni: tuʻu mai ʻo fakakaukau ki he ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻae ʻOtua.
15 Uyakwazi na ukuthi uNkulunkulu uwalawula njani amayezi enze umbane wakhe ulavuke?
ʻOku ke ʻilo naʻe fakatonutonu ia ʻanefē ʻe he ʻOtua, pea pule ke huhulu ʻae maama ʻo ʻene ʻao?
16 Uyakwazi na ukuthi amayezi emi njani elengile, leyomimangaliso yakhe yena lowo opheleleyo elwazini?
ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻae potupotumālie ʻoe ngaahi ʻao, ʻae ngaahi ngāue fakaofo ʻo ia ʻaia ʻoku haohaoa ʻi he ʻilo?
17 Wena oginqiswa yikutshisa kwezigqoko zakho nxa umhlaba uthule zwi kubetha umoya waseningizimu,
Pea ʻoku mafana fēfē ho ngaahi kofu, ʻoka ne ka fakatofutofu ʻae fonua ʻaki ʻae matangi tonga?
18 ungamncedisa yini ukwendlala isibhakabhaka, esilukhuni njengesibuko sensimbi yethusi?
He naʻa ke kau mo ia ʻi he folahi atu ʻae langi, ʻaia ʻoku mālohi, pea ʻoku tatau mo e sioʻata haka?
19 Ake usitshele ukuthi pho sithini kuye; ngeke siyimise kuhle indaba yethu ngoba kumnyama nje lapha kithi.
ʻAko mai kiate kimautolu pe ko e hā te mau tala kiate ia; he ʻoku ʻikai te mau faʻa fakatonutonu ʻemau lea, ko e meʻa ʻi he fakapoʻuli.
20 Atshelwe kambe ukuthi ngifuna ukukhuluma? Ukhona umuntu ongacela ukuthi aginywe?
ʻE tala kiate ia ʻoku ou lea? Kapau ʻe lea ha tangata, ko e moʻoni ʻe fōngia hifo ia.
21 Phela kakho ongalikhangela ilanga, njengoba licazimula kangaka esibhakabhakeni nxa umoya uwaphephule wonke amayezi kwacethula.
Pea ko eni ʻoku ʻikai mamata ʻe he kakai ki he maama ngingila ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi ʻao: ka ʻoku ʻalu ʻae matangi, ʻo ne fakamaʻa ia.
22 Esuka enyakatho uqhamuka ngenkazimulo enjengegolide; uNkulunkulu uqhamuka ngobukhosi obesabekayo.
ʻOku haʻu ʻae ʻafua mei he tokelau: ʻoku ʻi he ʻOtua ʻae ngeia fakamanavahē.
23 USomandla asingeke simfinyelele njalo uphakeme ulamandla; ekwahluleleni kwakhe okuhle lokulunga okukhulu kancindezeli.
Ko e Māfimafi, ʻoku ʻikai te tau faʻa ʻiloʻi ia: ʻoku lahi ia ʻi he mālohi, mo e fakamaau, pea mohu angatonu: ʻe ʻikai te ne tautea.
24 Ngakho-ke abantu bayamhlonipha, ngoba kanti kabanaki yini bonke abahlakaniphileyo enhliziyweni?”
Ko ia ʻoku manavahē ai ʻae kakai kiate ia: ʻoku ʻikai te ne tokanga ki ha tokotaha ʻoku loto poto.”
