UJobe 6
1 Wasephendula uJobe wathi:
Ka naʻe leaange ʻa Siope, ʻo ne pehē,
2 “Nxa ubuhlungu bami bungalinganiswa lokuhlupheka kwami konke kufakwe esikalini!
“Taumaiā kuo fakatatau totonu ʻa ʻeku mamahi, pea ke ʻai kātoa ʻeku mamahi ki he meʻa fakatatau!
3 Ngempela bungasinda ukwedlula itshebetshebe yolwandle, akungamangalisi ukuthi amazwi ami abhede kanje.
He ko eni, ʻe mamafa lahi ia ki he ʻoneʻone ʻoe tahi: ko ia kuo fōngia hifo ai ʻeku ngaahi lea.
4 Imitshoko kaSomandla iphakathi kwami, umoya wami unatha itshefu yayo; inhlupho zokuhlukuluza zikaNkulunkulu ziqondiswe kimi.
He ʻoku ʻi loto ʻiate au ʻae ngaahi ngahau ʻoe Māfimafi, ko hono kona ʻo ia ʻoku ne inumia hoku laumālie: ʻoku tuʻu tali tau pe kiate au ʻae ngaahi fakailifia ʻae ʻOtua.
5 Kambe ubabhemi weganga uyakhala yini utshani bukhona, loba inkabi ikhonye yona ukudla ilakho?
He ʻoku tangi ʻae ʻasi kai vao ʻoka maʻu ʻe ia ʻae mohuku? Pe ʻoku tangi ʻae pulu ʻi heʻene kai?
6 Ukudla okuduma kuyadleka na kungelatswayi, kumbe okumhlophe kweqanda kuyanambitheka yini?
ʻE faʻa kai ʻae meʻa ifoifonoa taʻehamāsima? Pe ʻoku ai ha ifo ʻi he nāunau ʻoe foʻi manu?
7 Ngiyala ukukuthinta; ukudla okunjalo kubuyisa inhliziyo yami.
Ko e ngaahi meʻa naʻe fehiʻa hoku laumālie ke ala ki ai, ko ʻeku meʻakai mamahi ia.
8 Oh, aluba ngingazuza isicelo sami, uNkulunkulu angiphe lokho engikufisayo,
“Taumaiā ke u lavaʻi ʻeku kole; pea tuku mai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae meʻa ʻoku ou holi ki ai!
9 ukuthi uNkulunkulu avume ukungichoboza, ekele nje isandla sakhe singiqede!
ʻIo, ke lelei ki he ʻOtua ke tāmateʻi au; ke ne tukuange hono nima, ʻo motuhi au!
10 Lalapho ngizabe ngilokhu ngilale induduzo intokozo yami ebuhlungwini obungadediyo, ukuthi bengingawaphikanga amazwi akhe oNgcwele.
Pehē te u toki maʻu ai ʻae fiemālie; ʻio, te u tali mālohi au ki he mamahi ke ʻoua naʻa ne mamae; he naʻe ʻikai te u fufū ʻae ngaahi folofola ʻae tokotaha māʻoniʻoni.
11 Ngilamandla bani okuthi ngibe lokhu ngithemba? Ngisamelelwe yini ukuba ngibe ngilokhu ngibekezela?
He ko e hā hoku mālohi, koeʻuhi ke u ʻamanaki ʻeau; pea ko e hā hoku ngataʻanga, koeʻuhi ke u fakatolonga ai pe ʻeku moʻui?
12 Ngilamandla elitshe yini? Inyama yami ilithusi na?
He ko e mālohi ʻoe ngaahi maka ʻa hoku mālohi? Pe ko e palasa ʻa hoku kakano?
13 Ngilawo yini amandla okuzisiza, manje njengoba sengemukwe impumelelo?
ʻIkai ʻoku ʻiate au haku tokoni? Pea kuo kapusi ʻaupito ʻae poto ʻiate au?
14 Iloba ngubani ogodla umusa kumkhula wakhe udela ukwesaba uSomandla.
“ʻOka mamahi ha taha [ʻoku ngali ]ke ʻofa kiate ia ʻa hono kāinga; ka ʻoku ne liʻaki ʻe ia ʻae manavahē ki he Māfimafi.
15 Kodwa abafowethu kabathenjwa njengemifula egeleza icitsha, njengemifula echithayo
Kuo fai kākā ʻa hoku kāinga ʻo hangē ko ha vaitafe, pea hangē ko e ʻoho ʻoe vai ʻoku nau mole atu;
16 ileliqhwa eselincibilika, njalo igcwele ngongqwaqwane osencibilikile,
He ʻoku ʻuliʻuli ia koeʻuhi ko e ʻaisi, ʻaia ʻoku lilo ʻi ai ʻae ʻuha hinehina:
17 kodwa ikhawule ukugeleza ngesikhathi sokoma, kuthi sekutshisa amanzi anyamalale ezindleleni zawo.
ʻOka māmāfana ia, ʻoku nau mole: pea ʻoka ʻaʻafu, ʻoku ʻauha leva ia mei hono potu.
18 Indwendwe zamakamela ziyaphambuka ezindleleni zazo; zintule enkangala zifele khona.
Ko e ngaahi hala ʻo honau tafeʻanga kuo fakakehe; ʻoku fakaʻaʻau ʻo ʻikai, pea mole.
19 Indwendwe zamakamela aseThema zidinga amanzi, abathengisi baseShebha balinde bethembile.
Naʻe kumi lahi ʻe he kakai ʻo Tima, ko e kau fononga ʻo Sipa naʻa nau tatali ki ai.
20 Bayadana ngoba bebekade bethembile; bayafika khonale bafike badane.
Naʻa nau puputuʻu koeʻuhi naʻa nau ʻamanaki; naʻa nau haʻu ki ai, pea mā.
21 Lani selitshengise ukuthi kalilancedo; libona into eyesabekayo beselisesaba.
He ko e meʻa noa pe foki ʻakimoutolu; ʻoku mou mamata ki hoku lī ki lalo, pea ʻoku mou ilifia.
22 Sengake ngatsho yini ukuthi, ‘Ake lingihlawulele lokhu, ngihlengani ngempahla yenu,
He ne u pehē, ‘Tokoni mai?’ Pe, ‘Foaki mai ha meʻa mei hoʻomou koloa?’
23 ngikhululani esandleni sesitha, ngihlengani ekufithizelweni ngabalesihluku’?
Pe, ‘Fakamoʻui au mei he nima ʻoe fili? Pe, ‘Huhuʻi au mei he nima ʻoe mālohi?’
24 Ngifundisani, ngizathula; ake lingitshengise lapho engiphambanise khona.
“Akonakiʻi au, pea te u longo pe: pea mou fai ke u ʻilo pe kuo u hē ʻi he hā.
25 Abuhlungu kanganani amazwi eqiniso! Kodwa ukuphikisa kwenu kutshengisani?
Hono ʻikai mālohi ʻae ngaahi lea totonu! Ka ʻoku valokiʻi ʻae hā ʻe hoʻomou valoki?
26 Lizama ukuqondisa engikutshoyo, amazwi omuntu oselahlekelwe lithemba liwathethe njengomoya nje na?
He ʻoku mou pehē ke valokiʻi ʻae ngaahi lea, mo e ngaahi tala ʻo ha taha kuo tuʻutāmaki, ʻoku hangē ha matangi?
27 Lina lingenza inkatho ngezintandane, lithengise lomngane wenu.
ʻIo, ʻoku mou lemohekina ʻae tamai mate, pea mou keli ha luo ki homou kāinga.
28 Kodwa okwamanje wobani lomusa lingizwele. Ngingaqamba amanga phambi kwenu na?
Ko ia, mou fiemālie, ʻo vakai kiate au; he ʻoku ʻilongofua kiate kimoutolu ʻo kapau ʻoku ou kākā.
29 Dedani, lingenzi okungaqondanga; khumbulani kutsha, phela ubuqotho bami busengozini.
ʻOku ou kole, mou toe fakakaukau he ʻoku ʻi ai ʻeku māʻoniʻoni.
30 Kukhona okubi na okusezindebeni zami? Kambe umlomo wami kawukwehlukanisi okubi na?”
He ʻoku ai ha angahala ʻi hoku ʻelelo? ʻIkai ʻe faʻa ʻilo ʻe hoku ngutu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kovi?
