UJobe 5
1 “Memeza nxa uthanda, kodwa ngubani ozakuphendula na? Uzaphendukela kuwuphi wabangcwele na?
“Ui eni, ka ʻoku ai ha taha te ne talia koe; pea ko hai ʻi he kau māʻoniʻoni te ke hanga ki ai?
2 Ukucaphuka kuyasibulala isiwula lomhawu uyamqeda oyisithutha.
He ʻoku tāmateʻi ʻe he houhau ʻae tangata vale, pea fakaʻauha ʻe he tuputāmaki ʻae fakavalevale.
3 Mina ngokwami sengasibona isiwula siphumelela, kodwa masinyane nje indlu yaso yayisiqalekisiwe.
Kuo u mamata ki he vale kuo aka, kae fakafokifā ne u tuku hono ʻapi ki he malaʻia.
4 Abantwabaso kabavikelekanga lakancinyane, baphoselwa entolongweni bengelamvikeli.
ʻOku mamaʻo ʻene fānau mo e hūfanga, ʻoku taʻomia ʻakinautolu ʻi he matapā, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha fakahaofia.
5 Abalambileyo bayazidlela isivuno sakhe, besithatha kanye lasemeveni, labomileyo bahahabela inotho yakhe.
ʻOku kai honau taʻu ʻe he fiekaia, ʻo ne faʻao ia, ʻio, mei he loto ʻakau talatala, pea ʻoku folo hifo ʻe he kaihaʻa ʻenau koloa.
6 Ngoba ubunzima kabugobhozi emhlabathini, loba uhlupho luhlume phansi.
Neongo ʻoku ʻikai ʻalu hake mei he efu ʻae angahala, pea ʻoku ʻikai tupu mei he kelekele ʻae mamahi;
7 Kodwa umuntu uzalelwa ukuhlupheka njengoba ngeqiniso inhlansi zomlilo ziqhatshela phezulu.
Ka kuo fanauʻi ʻae tangata ki he mamahi, ʻo hangē ko e puna hake ʻae kalofiama.
8 Kodwa aluba ubuyimi, bengizamncenga uNkulunkulu; bengizakwethula udubo lwami kuye.
“Ko ia te u kumi ki he ʻOtua, pea te u tuku ʻeku ngāue ki he ʻOtua:
9 Uyazenza izimanga ezingelakulinganiswa, imimangaliso engelakubalwa.
He ko ia ia ʻoku ne faʻa fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi mo taʻefaʻaʻilo; ko e ngaahi meʻa fakaofo mo taʻefaʻalaua:
10 Uyanisa izulu emhlabeni; uthumela amanzi elizweni.
Ko ia ia ʻoku ne foaki ʻae ʻuha ki he kelekele, pea ne fekau hifo ʻae ngaahi vai ki he tokaʻanga ngoue:
11 Abaphansi uyabakhweza phezulu, lalabo abakhalayo ubaphakamisela ekuphepheni.
Koeʻuhi ke hiki ki ʻolunga ʻakinautolu ʻoku māʻulalo; kae hakeakiʻi ke moʻui ʻakinautolu ʻoku tangi.
12 Uyawafubisa amacebo amaqili, ukuze izandla zawo zingaphumeleli.
ʻOku ne motuhi ʻae fakakaukau ʻoe fie poto, pea ʻoku ʻikai faʻa fai ai ʻe honau nima ha momoʻi meʻa.
13 Uyababamba abahlakaniphileyo ebuqilini babo, kuthi amaqhinga eziphoxo achitheke.
ʻOku ne tauheleʻi ʻae poto ʻi heʻenau fiepoto: pea ko e fakakaukau ʻoe anga pikopiko ʻoku fakataʻeaongaʻi,
14 Ubumnyama buyabehlela emini; phakathi kwemini bayaphumputha kungathi kusebusuku.
ʻOku nau fekitaki mo e poʻuli ʻi he kei ʻaho, pea tautaufā ʻi he hoʻatāmālie ʻo hangē ko e pō.
15 Uyabasindisa abaswelayo baphephe inkemba emlonyeni wabo; uyabasindisa ekubanjweni ngabalamandla.
Ka ʻoku ne fakahaofia ʻae masiva mei he heletā ʻo honau ngutu, pea mei he nima ʻoe mālohi.
16 Ngakho abayanga balalo ithemba, ukwahlulela kubi kuvala owakho umlomo.
ʻOku tupu ai ʻi he masiva ʻae ʻamanaki lelei, pea ko e angahala ʻe tāpuni hono ngutu ʻoʻona.
17 Ubusisiwe umuntu oqondiswa nguNkulunkulu; ngakho ungaseyisi isijeziso sikaSomandla.
“Vakai, ʻoku monūʻia ʻae tangata ʻoku tautea ʻe he ʻOtua: ko ia, ʻoua naʻa ke taʻetokangaʻi ʻae tautea mei he Māfimafi:
18 Ngoba uyagwaza, kodwa aphinde abophe amanxeba; uyalimaza kodwa izandla zakhe njalo ziyapholisa.
He ʻoku ne fakamamahi, pea ʻoku ne nonoʻo: ʻoku ne hokaʻi, kae fakamoʻui ʻe hono nima ʻoʻona.
19 Uzakuhlenga ezinhluphekweni eziyisithupha; kweziyisikhombisa kawuyikuwelwa yingozi.
ʻE fakahaofi ʻe ia ʻa koe ʻi he mamahi ʻe ono: ʻio, ʻi he meʻa ʻe fitu ʻe ʻikai ha kovi te ne lavaʻi koe.
20 Ngesikhathi sendlala uzakuhlenga ekufeni, lasempini akuhlenge ekugaleleni kwenkemba.
Te ne huhuʻi koe mei he mate ʻi he honge: pea mei he mālohi ʻoe heletā ʻi he tau.
21 Uzavikelwa ekuhletshweni, ungaze wesaba nxa kufika incithakalo.
ʻE fufū koe mei he tautea ʻoe ʻelelo: pea ka haʻu ʻae fakaʻauha ʻe ʻikai te ke manavahē ai.
22 Uzakuhleka ukuchithakala kanye lendlala, njalo ungaze wazesaba izilo zomhlaba.
Te ke kata koe ʻi he fakaʻauha mo e honge: pea ʻe ʻikai te ke manavahē ki he fanga manu fekai ʻoe fonua.
23 Ngoba uzakuba lesivumelwano lamatshe eganga, lezinyamazana zeganga zizahlalisana kuhle lawe.
He te mou kaumeʻa mo e ngaahi maka ʻoe fonua: pea ʻe fiemālie mo koe ʻae fanga manu ʻoe fonua.
24 Uzakwazi ukuthi ithente lakho livikelekile; uzahlolisisa impahla yakho uthole kungelalutho olungekho.
Pea te ke ʻilo ʻe melino pe ho nofoʻanga; te ke ʻaʻahi ki ho ʻapi, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke angahala.
25 Uzakwazi ukuthi abantwabakho bazakuba banengi, lesizukulwane sakho sibe ngangotshani bomhlaba.
Pea te ke ʻilo foki ʻe tokolahi ho hako, pea ʻe tatau hoʻo fānau mo e mohuku ʻoe fonua.
26 Uzakuza engcwabeni usukhulile okugcweleyo njengezikhwebu zamabele eziqoqwa seziphelele.
Te ke hoko ki ho tanuʻanga ʻi he motuʻa lelei, ʻo hangē ko e ʻū koane ʻi hono faʻahitaʻu.
27 Sesikuhlolile lokhu, kuliqiniso. Ngakho kuzwisise, ukulandele wena ngokwakho.”
Vakai ko e meʻa ni, kuo mau ʻekea, pea ʻoku pehē pe ia; fanongo ki ai, pea ke ʻilo ia maʻau.
