UJobe 12
1 Wasephendula uJobe wathi:
Awo Yobu n’amuddamu nti,
2 Ngoba isibili lingabantu, lenhlakanipho izakufa lani.
“Awatali kubuusabuusa muli bantu. Bwe mulifa n’amagezi gammwe ne gafa.
3 Lami ngilengqondo njengani, kangiphansi kulani. Njalo ngubani ongelazo izinto ezinje?
Naye nange nnina amagezi ntegeera, temunsinga. Ani atabimanyi ebyo byonna?
4 Ngiyinhlekisa kumngane wami, obiza kuNkulunkulu amphendule; olungileyo oqondileyo uyinhlekisa.
Nfuuse ekisekererwa eri mikwano gyange. Nze eyakoowolanga Katonda n’anziramu, ne nsekererwa obusekererwa, ate nga ndi mutukuvu ataliiko musango!
5 Uyisibane esidelelekayo emnakanweni wowonwabileyo; ulungele ukutshelela ngonyawo.
Abantu abali mu ddembe lyabwe batera okusekerera abali mu mitawaana, ng’ebizibu bwe biba ku abo ababa batuuse awazibu.
6 Amathente abaphangi alokuthula, labamthukuthelisayo uNkulunkulu bavikelekile, kulowo oletha uNkulunkulu esandleni sakhe.
Weema z’abanyazi tezibaako mutawaana, era abo abanyiiza Katonda babeera mu ddembe abo abeetikka katonda waabwe mu mikono gyabwe.
7 Kodwa-ke buza khathesi inyamazana, zizakufundisa, lenyoni zamazulu, zizakutshela.
Naye buuza ensolo zijja kukuyigiriza, oba ebinyonyi eby’omu bbanga binaakubuulira.
8 Kumbe khuluma lomhlaba, uzakufundisa, lenhlanzi zolwandle zizakulandisela.
Oba yogera n’ettaka linaakusomesa oba ebyennyanja eby’omu nnyanja binaakunnyonnyola.
9 Ngubani ongaziyo phakathi kwakho konke lokhu ukuthi isandla sikaJehova sikwenzile lokhu?
Biki ku bino ebitamanyi nti, omukono gwa Mukama gwe gukoze ebyo?
10 Okusesandleni sakhe umphefumulo wakho konke okuphilayo, lomoya wayo yonke inyama yomuntu.
Buli bulamu bwa kitonde buli mu mukono gwe, na buli mukka ogussibwa abantu bonna.
11 Indlebe kayihloli yini amazwi, njengolwanga luzinambithela ukudla?
Okutu tekugezesa bigambo ng’olulimi bwe lukomba ku mmere?
12 Kwabadala kakhulu kulenhlakanipho, lebudeni bezinsuku kulokuqedisisa.
Amagezi tegasangibwa mu bakaddiye? Okuwangaala tekuleeta kutegeera?
13 Kuye kukhona inhlakanipho lamandla, uleseluleko lokuqedisisa.
Katonda y’alina amagezi n’amaanyi; y’ateesa ebigambo era y’alina okutegeera.
14 Khangela, udiliza, kungabe kusakhiwa; uvalela umuntu, kungabe kusavulwa.
Ky’amenya teri ayinza kuddamu kukizimba; ky’asiba mu kkomera tekiyinza kuteebwa.
15 Khangela, uvimbela amanzi, atshe; abesewathuma, agenqule umhlaba.
Bw’aziyiza amazzi, ekyeeya kijja, bw’agata gazikiriza ensi.
16 Kuye kukhona amandla lenhlakanipho; okhohlisiweyo lomkhohlisi bangabakhe.
Ye, ye nannyini maanyi n’obuwanguzi, abalimba n’abalimbibwa bonna babe.
17 Ukhupha abeluleki bahambe behlutshulwe, enze abehluleli babe yizithutha.
Aggyawo abawi b’amagezi nga tebalina kantu, abalamuzi n’abafuula abasirusiru.
18 Uthukulula isibopho samakhosi, abophe umbhinco enkalweni zawo.
Bakabaka abaggyako enjegere ze beesiba ebiwato byabwe, n’abasibamu obukete.
19 Ukhupha abapristi bahambe behlutshulwe, awise abalamandla.
Bakabona abatwala nga tebalina kantu, n’asuula abasajja abaanywera.
20 Uphambula inkulumo yabathembekileyo, asuse ukuqedisisa kwabasebekhulile.
Aziba emimwa egy’abawi b’amagezi abeesigwa, era n’aggyawo okwolesebwa kw’abakadde.
21 Uthela ukudelela phezu kweziphathamandla, axegise umbhinco wabalamandla.
Ayiwa ekivume ku bakungu, era n’aggya ebyokulwanyisa ku b’amaanyi.
22 Wembula izinto ezijulileyo ezisemnyameni, akhuphele ekukhanyeni ithunzi lokufa.
Abikkula ebintu eby’ebuziba eby’ekizikiza, n’aleeta n’ebisiikirize eby’amaanyi mu kitangaala.
23 Enze izizwe zibe zinkulu, abesezichitha; andise izizwe, abesezisusa.
Afuula amawanga okuba ag’amaanyi, era n’agazikiriza; agaziya amawanga n’agasaasaanya.
24 Ususa inhliziyo yenhloko zabantu bomhlaba, aziduhise enkangala engelandlela.
Abakulembeze baamawanga abaggyako okukola ebisaanidde; n’abasindika nga bagwirana mu ddungu eritaliimu kkubo.
25 Ziphumputhe emnyameni kungelakukhanya, uzenza zidiyazele njengodakiweyo.
Bawammantira mu kizikiza awatali kitangaala; abaleetera okutagala ng’abatamiivu.”
