UJobe 9
1 Wasephendula uJobe wathi:
Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Siope, ʻo ne pehē,
2 “Ngeqiniso ngiyazi ukuthi lokhu kuliqiniso. Kodwa umuntu wenyama angalunga yini kuNkulunkulu?
ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻoku pehē moʻoni ia ka ʻe tonuhia fēfē ʻae tangata ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua?
3 Loba umuntu ubengafisa ukuphikisana laye ngeke amphendule lakanye emibuzweni eyinkulungwane.
Kapau te na alea, mo ia, ʻe ʻikai te ne faʻa talia ʻe ia ha taha ʻi he meʻa ʻe afe.
4 Ukuhlakanipha kwakhe kujulile, amandla akhe makhulu. Ngubani kambe oke wamelana laye wasinda?
ʻOku poto ia ʻi loto, pea lahi ʻi he mālohi: ko hai kuo ne fakaangatuʻu ia kiate ia, pea monūʻia?
5 Uyazidudula izintaba zona zingazi lutho, azigenqule nxa esezondile.
Ko ia ia ʻoku ne hiki ʻae ngaahi moʻunga, kae ʻikai ke nau ʻilo: ʻoku ne fulihi ia ʻi hono houhau.
6 Uyawunyikinya umhlaba endaweni yawo, axukuxe izinsika zawo.
ʻOku ne luluʻi ʻae fonua mei hono potu, pea ʻoku ngalulululu hono ngaahi pou.
7 Uyalitshela ilanga ukuba lingakhanyi; asibekele ukukhanya kwezinkanyezi.
ʻOku ne fekauʻi ʻae laʻā, pea ʻikai ʻalu hake ia; pea ne tāpuni hake ʻae ngaahi fetuʻu.
8 Nguye kuphela owelula amazulu, ohamba phezu kwamagagasi olwandle.
ʻOku ne folahi atu tokotaha pē ʻae ngaahi langi, pea ʻoku ne hāʻele ʻi he ngaahi peau ʻoe tahi.
9 UnguMenzi wezinkanyezi iNgulube leZinja, iSilimela lomthala waseningizimu.
ʻOku ne ngaohi ʻa ʻAakitulio, mo Olioni, mo Peliatisi, pea mo e ngaahi potu ki he feituʻu tonga.
10 Wenza imimangaliso engafinyelelekiyo, izimanga ezingelakubalwa.
ʻOku ne fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi ʻo taʻefaʻaʻilo; ʻio, ko e ngaahi meʻa mana ʻoku taʻefaʻalaua.
11 Uthi nxa esedlula kimi, ngingamboni; ahambe khonapho ngingezwa lutho.
Vakai, ʻoku hāʻele ia ʻi hoku tafaʻaki, ka ʻoku ʻikai te u mamata ki ai: ʻoku ne hāʻele atu foki ka ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi ia.
12 Nxa ehluthuna, ngubani ongamalela? Ngubani ongathi kuye, ‘Wenzani wena?’
Vakai, ʻoku ne toʻo atu, ko hai ʻe faʻa taʻofi ia? Ko hai ʻe pehē kiate ia, ‘Ko e hā ʻoku ke fai?’
13 UNkulunkulu kalunqandi ulaka lwakhe; labasekeli bakaRahabi besaba bawela ezinyaweni zakhe.
“Kapau ʻe ʻikai taʻofi ʻe he ʻOtua ki hono houhau, ʻe mapelu ki lalo ʻiate ia ʻae kau tokoni fielahi.
14 Pho mina ngingaphikisana laye njani? Ngingawathatha ngaphi amazwi okujijana laye?
Kae fēfē ai ʻeku talia ia ʻeau, pea u fili ʻeku ngaahi lea ke alea mo ia?
15 Laloba ngingelamlandu, ngeke ngimphendule; ngingancenga uMahluleli wami kuphela ukuthi angihawukele.
ʻAia ʻe ʻikai te u talia, ʻoka ne u māʻoniʻoni, ka te u hū tāumaʻu ki hoku Fakamaau.
16 Lanxa bengingambiza asabele, angikholwa ukuthi ubengangilalela.
Ka ne u ui, pea talia ia; kae ʻikai te u tui kuo ne ongoʻi hoku leʻo.
17 Ubengangicobodisa ngesiphepho andise amanxeba ami kungelasizatho.
He ʻoku ne haʻaki au ʻaki ʻae afā, pea ne fakalahi ʻeku lavea taʻehanoʻuhinga.
18 Ubengasoze angiphe ithuba lokukhokha umoya kodwa ubezahle angincindezele ngosizi.
ʻOku ʻikai tuku ʻe ia ke u mānava, ka ʻoku ne fakapito au ʻaki ʻae mamahi.
19 Nxa kungokwamandla, alamandla amakhulu! Nxa kungokokwahlulela ngokulunga, ngubani ongamthonisisa?
Kapau te u lea ki he mālohi, vakai, ʻoku māfimafi ia: pe ki he fakamaau, ‘ko hai te ne fakamoʻoni kiate au?’
20 Loba ngingabe ngimsulwa, umlomo wami ubungangilahla; lanxa ngimsulwa wona ubuzakuthi ngilecala.
Kapau te u fakatonuhiaʻi au, pea tā ʻe fakahalaʻi au ʻe hoku ngutu ʻoʻoku; pē te u pehē ʻoku ou haohaoa, ʻe fakamoʻoni ia ki heʻeku halaia.
21 Lanxa ngingelacala, angizihluphi ngami; ngiyayeyisa impilo yami.
Neongo ʻa ʻeku haohaoa, ka ʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo ki hoku loto: te u fehiʻa ʻeau pē ki heʻeku moʻui.
22 Kuyafanana konke; yikho ngisithi, ‘Ubhubhisa bonke abangelacala lababi.’
“Ko e meʻa ni pē taha, ʻoku ou fakamoʻoni ki ai, ʻOku ne fakaʻauha ʻae haohaoa mo e angahala.
23 Nxa isifo esibi sibulala ngokuphangisa, uyabahleka abangelacala ngokulahla kwabo ithemba.
Kapau ʻe fakafokifā pē ʻae taaʻi ʻe he fakamamahi, ʻe kata ʻe ia ʻi he ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻoe taʻeangahala.
24 Nxa ilizwe liwela ezandleni zababi, wembesa amehlo abahluleli balo. Nxa kungayisuye, pho ngubani?
Kuo tuku ʻae fonua ki he nima ʻoe angahala: ʻoku ne ʻufiʻufi ʻae mata ʻo hono kau fakamāu; ka ʻikai, pea kofaa, pe ko hai ia?
25 Amalanga ami alesiqubu esidlula esesithunywa; ayaphapha anyamalale kungela mthonselanyana wokuthokoza.
“ʻOku vave eni ʻa hoku ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he tangata fekau: ʻoku puna atu ia, ʻoku ʻikai ʻilo ʻe ia ha lelei.
26 Antweza edlule njengezikepe zelala, njengenkozi zisehla zihwitha ezikudlayo.
Kuo mole ia ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi vaka ngaholo: ʻo hangē ko e ʻikale ʻoku fakavave ki he kai.
27 Nxa ngingathi, ‘Ngizakubeka eceleni ukusola kwami, ngicitshe ukunyukubala kwami, ngibobotheke,’
Kapau te u pehē, ‘Te u fakangaloʻi ʻa ʻeku mamahi, te u siʻaki ʻeku māfasia, ʻo fakafiemālieʻi au:’
28 ngilokhu ngihemahema ngezinhlupho zami, ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi kawuzukungigeza.
Tā te u ilifia ʻi heʻeku ngaahi mamahi fulipē, ʻoku ou ʻilo ʻe ʻikai te ke fakatonuhiaʻi au.
29 Njengoba ngivele sengibekwe icala, ngizazihluphelani ngokulwela ize na?
Kapau ʻoku ou angakovi, pea tā ʻoku kei taʻeʻaonga pe ʻeku ngāue?
30 Loba ngingaze ngigeze ngesepa lezandla zami ngesoda yokuhlambulula,
He kapau te u kaukau au ʻi he vai ʻuha hinehina, ʻo ngaohi ke maʻa ʻaupito hoku nima;
31 uzavele ungiphosele emgodini olodaka ngize ngenyanywe yizigqoko zami.
Ka te ke lī au ki he pelepela, pea ʻe fakaliliʻa kiate au ʻa hoku ngaahi kofu ʻoʻoku.
32 Akasumuntu njengami ukuthi ngingamphendula, ukuthi singamisana emthethwandaba.
He ʻoku ʻikai ko e tangata ia, ʻo hangē ko au, koeʻuhi ke u talia ia, pea kema fakataha ʻi he fakamaau.
33 Aluba ubengabakhona osilamulayo, abeke isandla sakhe phezu kwethu sobabili,
Pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata fakalelei ʻi homa vahaʻa, ke ne hili hono nima kiate kimaua fakatouʻosi.
34 omunye nje ongasusa uswazi lukaNkulunkulu kimi, ukuze ngingatshukunyiswa yikwesaba lokhu.
Ke toʻo ʻe ia ʻene meʻa tā ʻiate au, pea ʻoua naʻa fakailifiaʻi au ʻe heʻene manavahē:
35 Lapho-ke bengizakhuluma ngingesabi yena, kodwa okwakhathesi kunje, ngeke.”
Te u toki lea ai, ʻo taʻemanavahē kiate ia; ka ʻoku ʻikai te u pehē eni.
