UJobe 42
1 UJobe wasemphendula uThixo wathi:
Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Siope kia Sihova, ʻo ne pehē,
2 “Ngiyazi ukuthi ungazenza zonke izinto; kalikho icebo lakho elingavinjwa.
“ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻoku ke faʻa fai ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha mahalo ʻe faʻa puli meiate koe.
3 Ubuzile wathi, ‘Ngubani lo ovala iseluleko sami engelalwazi na?’ Ngeqiniso ngikhulumile ngezinto ebengingazizwisisi, izinto ezimangalisayo engingeke ngizazi.
‘Ko hai ia ʻoku ne fufū ʻae fakakaukau ʻi he taʻeʻilo?’ Ko ia, kuo u puʻaki ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi; ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi hake fau ʻiate au, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloa.
4 Wena uthe, ‘Lalela manje, mina ngizakhuluma; ngizakubuza, wena uzangiphendula.’
‘ʻOku ou kole kiate koe ke ke fanongo mai, pea te u lea: te u ʻeke kiate koe, pea ke fakahā mai kiate au.’
5 Indlebe zami zasezizwile ngawe kodwa manje amehlo ami asekubonile.
Kuo u fanongo kiate koe ʻi he fanongo ʻoe telinga: ka ko eni kuo mamata ʻe hoku mata kiate koe.
6 Ngakho sengizeyisa, sengiphenduka ngizilahla othulini lasemlotheni.”
Ko ia ʻoku ou fehiʻa ai kiate au, ʻo fakatomala ʻi he efu mo e efuefu.”
7 Kwathi uThixo esetshilo lezizinto kuJobe wathi ku-Elifazi umThemani, “Ngikuzondele wena kanye labangane bakho bobabili, ngoba kalikhulumanga ngami okulungileyo njengenceku yami uJobe.
Pea naʻe pehē, hili ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni kia Siope, “Naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Elifasi mei Timani, Kuo tupu hoku houhau kiate koe, mo ho kāinga ʻe toko ua: he ʻoku ʻikai te mou lea ʻaki kiate au ʻae meʻa ʻoku totonu, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Siope.
8 Ngakho manje thathani inkunzi eziyisikhombisa lenqama eziyisikhombisa liye encekwini yami uJobe liyekwenza umnikelo wenu wokutshiswa. Inceku yami uJobe izalikhulekela, mina ngizawamukela umkhuleko wayo ngingaze ngalijezisa okufanele ubuthutha benu. Kalikhulumanga ngami okulungileyo njengenceku yami uJobe.”
Ko ia ke mou toʻo ni kiate kimoutolu ʻae fanga pulu ʻe fitu, mo e sipitangata ʻe fitu, ʻo ʻalu ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Siope, pea ʻohake ʻae feilaulau tutu koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu; pea ʻe hūfia ʻakimoutolu ʻe heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Siope: he te u maʻu ia: telia naʻaku taaʻi kiate kimoutolu ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou vale, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te mou lea ʻaki kiate au ʻaia ʻoku totonu, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Siope.”
9 Ngakho u-Elifazi umThemani, uBhilidadi umShuhi loZofari umNahama benza lokho abakutshelwa nguThixo; njalo uThixo wawemukela umkhuleko kaJobe.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Elifasi mei Timani, mo Pilitati mei Suaa, mo Sofaa mei Neama, ʻonau fai ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu: pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Sihova ʻa Siope foki.
10 UJobe esebakhulekele abangane bakhe, uThixo wamenza waphumelela njalo wamupha okunengi okuphindwe kabili kulokho ayelakho kuqala.
Pea naʻe liliu ʻe Sihova ʻae pōpula ʻo Siope, ʻi heʻene hūfia hono kāinga: pea naʻe fakamaʻumeʻa ʻe Sihova kia Siope ʻo liunga ua hake ʻi he meʻa naʻa ne maʻu ʻi muʻa.
11 Bonke abafowabo labodadewabo kanye lobani owayemazi ngaphambili weza ukuzakudla laye endlini yakhe. Bamkhalela, bamzwela ngakho konke ukuhlupheka uThixo ayemehlisele khona, kwathi ngulowo lalowo wamupha ulutho lwesiliva kanye lesongo legolide.
Pea naʻe toki haʻu kiate ia ʻa hono ngaahi kāinga kotoa pē, mo hono ngaahi tuofefine, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻa nau kaumeʻa mo ia ʻi muʻa, ʻonau kai mā mo ia ʻi hono fale: pea naʻa nau tēngihia ia, ʻo fakafiemālie ia ʻi he ngaahi kovi kotoa pē naʻe ʻomi ʻe Sihova kiate ia: pea naʻe foaki ʻe he tangata taki taha kotoa pē kiate ia ʻae paʻanga, mo e hau koula.
12 UThixo wayibusisa impilo yokucina kaJobe ukwedlula eyokuqala. Waba lezimvu eziyizinkulungwane ezilitshumi lane, izinkulungwane eziyisithupha zamakamela, inkulungwane yezipani zenkabi labobabhemi abayinkulungwane.
Pea naʻe tāpuaki lahi hake ʻe Sihova ʻae moʻui kimui ʻa Siope ʻi heʻene moʻui ki muʻa: he naʻa ne maʻu ʻae sipi ʻe taha mano ma fā afe, mo e kāmeli ʻe ono afe, mo e fanga pulu taulua ʻe taha afe, mo e ʻasi fefine ʻe taha afe.
13 Waphinda njalo waba lamadodana ayisikhombisa lamadodakazi amathathu.
Pea naʻa ne maʻu foki ʻae foha ʻe toko fitu mo e ʻofefine ʻe toko tolu.
14 Indodakazi yokuqala wayetha ibizo elithi Jemima, eyesibili yayinguKheziya, eyesithathu yaba nguKhereni-Haphutshi.
Pea naʻa ne ui ʻae hingoa ʻoe ʻuluaki, ko Simaima, mo e hingoa ʻo hono toko ua, ko Kesaia, mo e hingoa ʻo hono toko tolu, ko Keleni-Hapuka.
15 Kakuzange kube khona elizweni lonke abesifazane ababebahle njengamadodakazi kaJobe, njalo uyise wawabela ilifa kanye labanewabo.
Pea naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ha kau fefine hoihoifua ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Siope: pea naʻe foaki ʻae tofiʻa kiate kinautolu ʻe heʻenau tamai ʻi he fakataha mo honau ngaahi tuongaʻane.
16 Ngemva kwalokhu uJobe waphila iminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amane; wababona abantwabakhe labantwababo kwaze kwaba yisizukulwane sesine.
Pea hili ʻae meʻa ni naʻe moʻui ʻa Siope ʻi he taʻu ʻe teau ma fāngofulu, ʻo ne mamata ki hono ngaahi foha, mo e ngaahi foha ʻo hono ngaahi foha, ʻio, ko e toʻutangata ʻe fā.
17 UJobe wafa esemdala njalo eseluphele.
Pea naʻe pekia ʻa Siope, kuo motuʻa mo fonu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho.
