UJobe 39
1 “Uyakwazi na ukuthi amagogo azala nini? Uyawubukele yini nxa impalakazi izala izinyane layo?
“ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻae feituʻulaʻā ʻoku fanauʻi ai ʻae fanga kosi kaivao ʻoe maka? Pe ʻoku ke faʻa fakaʻilonga ʻoka fanauʻi ʻae fanga hainiti?
2 Uyawuzibale yini izinyanga zize zizale? Uyasazi isikhathi ezizazala ngaso na?
ʻOku ke faʻa lau ki he kakato ʻo honau ngaahi māhina? Pe ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻae feituʻulaʻā ʻoku nau fāʻele ai?
3 Ziyalala phansi zizale abantwana bazo; kube sekuphela ubuhlungu bokuhelelwa kwazo.
ʻOku nau fakamapelu ʻakinautolu, ʻoku nau fāʻeleʻi honau ʻuhiki, ʻoku nau lī kituʻa ʻenau ngaahi mamahi.
4 Amazinyane azo ayaqina akhule abe lamandla egangeni; ayasuka ahambe angabuyi.
ʻOku matamatalelei honau ʻuhiki, ʻoku nau tupu hake ʻi he toafa; ʻoku nau ʻalu atu, pea ʻikai toe haʻu kiate kinautolu.
5 Ngubani owakhulula ubabhemi weganga na? Ngubani owathukulula igoda lakhe na?
“Ko hai kuo ne fekau atu tauʻatāina ʻae ʻasi kaivao? Pe ko hai kuo ne vete ʻae ngaahi haʻi ʻoe ʻasi kaivao?
6 Ngamupha ugwadule lwaba likhaya lakhe, lenkangala yetswayi ibe ngumango wakhe.
ʻAia kuo u tuʻutuʻuni ʻae toafa ko hono fale ʻoʻona, mo e fonua lala ko hono ngaahi nofoʻanga.
7 Uyazincifela iziphithiphithi zedolobho; kakuzwa ukukhahlanyezwa ngumtshayeli.
ʻOku manuki ia ki he tokolahi ʻoe kolo, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne tokanga ki he kalanga ʻoe tauhi.
8 Uyazihambela abhode izintaba emadlelweni akhe edinga loba yini eluhlaza.
Ko hono kaiʻanga ko e ngaahi moʻunga ʻataʻatā, pea ʻoku ne kumi ʻae meʻa mata kotoa pē.
9 Inyathi kambe izavuma ukukusebenzela na? Izahlala esibayeni sakho ebusuku na?
“ʻE fie tauhi kiate koe ʻae liimi, pe nofo ofi ki hoʻo ʻaiʻangakai?
10 Ungayibamba ngomchilo ulime ngayo na? Ingazilima na izigodi zakho?
ʻOku ke faʻa nonoʻo ʻae liimi ʻaki hono noʻotaki ʻi he keli? Pe te ne muimui ʻiate koe ke fakatoka lelei ʻae ngaahi luo?
11 Ungayithemba yini ngenxa yamandla ayo amakhulu na? Ungawuyekelela yona umsebenzi wakho onzima na?
Te ke falala ki ai koeʻuhi ʻoku lahi ʻa hono mālohi? Pe te ke tuku hoʻo ngāue kiate ia?
12 Ungayithemba ukuthi izalayitsha amabele akho na iwase esizeni?
Te ke tui kiate ia, te ne fetuku ki ʻapi hoʻo ngaahi fua, ʻo tānaki ia ki ho feleoko?
13 Impiko zentshe zitshaya kakuhle, kodwa ngeke zilinganiswe lempiko kanye lezinsiba zengabuzane.
“Ko e kapakau ʻoe ʻositalesi ke kapakapa: ka ʻoku puna hake ʻae sitoaka mo e falekoni.
14 Ibekela amaqanda ayo emhlabathini iwayekele afudumale etshebetshebeni,
Vakai, ʻoku ne fakato hono ngaahi fua ʻi he kelekele, ʻo ne fakamafana ia ʻi he efu,
15 inganakananga ukuthi unyawo oluthile lungawahlifiza, ukuthi inyamazana yeganga ethile ingawanyathela.
Pea ngalo ʻiate ia ʻe laiki nai ia ʻe he vaʻe, pe maumauʻi ia ʻe he manu kaivao.
16 Amatsiyane ayo iyawakhahlameza, kube sengathi akusi wayo; ingakhathali ukuthi ukubekela kwayo kwaba yize,
Kuo fakafefeka ʻene anga ki hono fānganga ʻo hangē ʻoku ʻikai ʻaʻana ʻakinautolu: ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻene ngāue taʻemanavahē;
17 ngoba uNkulunkulu kayiphanga ukuhlakanipha loba ingqondo yokubona okufaneleyo.
Koeʻuhi kuo fakamasivaʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he poto, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku kiate ia ʻae faʻa ʻilo.
18 Kodwa nxa isiselula impiko zayo ukuthi igijime, iyalihleka ibhiza lomgadi walo.
Ko e feituʻulaʻā ko ia te ne tuʻu hake ki ʻolunga, ʻoku ne manukiʻi ʻae hoosi mo ia ʻoku heka ai.
19 Uyalipha na wena ibhiza amandla kumbe ugqokise intamo yalo ngomhlonga na?
“Naʻa ke tuku ʻe koe ʻae mālohi ki he hoosi? Naʻa ke fakakofuʻaki hono kia ʻae mana?
20 Uyalenza leqe njengentethe na, lingethuse ngokuhwabha kwalo kokuziqenya?
ʻOku ke faʻa fakamanavahēʻi ia ʻo hangē ko e heʻe? Ko e mānava lahi ʻo hono ihu ʻoku fakailifia.
21 Liyaphanda ngenkani, lithokoziswa ngamandla alo, lidlubulunde lihlasela isitha.
ʻOku kenukenu ia ʻi he vahaʻa moʻunga, pea fiefia ʻi he mālohi: ʻoku ʻalu atu ia ke fakafetaulaki ki he kau tangata ʻoku toʻo mahafutau.
22 Liyakuhleka ukwesaba, kalesabi lutho; kaliyikhekhelezi inkemba.
ʻOku ne manuki ki he manavahē, pea ʻoku ʻikai ilifia ia; pe foki kimui mei he heletā.
23 Umxhaka wemitshoko ukhehlezela emhlubulweni walo, ndawonye lomkhonto obenyezelayo kanye lomdikadika.
ʻOku ngatata ʻae tangakaho kiate ia, ʻae tao ngingila pea mo e fakaū.
24 Liyafuthelana ngamadlabuzane ligijime limbe phansi; kakulivumeli ukuma nxa icilongo selikhala.
ʻOku ne folohifo ʻae kelekele ʻi he feinga mo e lili: pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne tui ko e leʻo ia ʻoe meʻa lea.
25 Konela ukuthi likhale icilongo lihwabhe lithi, ‘Aha!’ Lihle lilizwe iphunga lempi isesekhatshana, ukukhwaza kwezinduna lomkhosi wempi.
ʻOku pehē ʻe ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa lea, ‘He, he;’ pea nanamu ki he tau ʻi he kei mamaʻo, ko e mana ʻoe kau taki tau, mo ʻenau mavava.
26 Ukhozi luphatshiswa yikuhlakanipha kwakho na lwelule impiko zalo ziqonde eningizimu?
“ʻOku puna ʻae falekoni ʻi hoʻo poto, ʻo mafao atu hono kapakau ki he feituʻu tonga?
27 Ukhozi luntweza ngokutshelwa nguwe yini kanye lokwakhela isidleke salo esiqongweni?
ʻOku puna hake ʻae ʻikale ko hoʻo fekau, ʻo ne ngaohi hono pununga ʻi ʻolunga?
28 Luhlala eliweni, lulale khona ebusuku; idwala elililiwa yilo inqaba yalo.
ʻOku nofo ia ʻo tatali ʻi he maka, ʻi he maka hangatāmaki, mo e potu mālohi.
29 Ludinga ukudla kwayo lusuka khona; amehlo alo akubona ekude.
ʻOku kumi mei ai ʻene meʻakai, pea ʻoku sio hono mata mei he mamaʻo.
30 Amatsiyane alo azitika ngegazi, kuthi lapho okulokubuleweyo khona lalo lukhona.”
ʻOku mimisi hake foki ʻe hono ʻuhiki ʻae toto: pea ko e potu ko ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae mate, ʻoku ʻi ai ia.”
