< UJobe 18 >
1 Wasephendula uBilidadi umShuhi wathi:
Awo Birudaadi Omusukusi n’ayanukula n’agamba nti,
2 Koze kube nini libekela amazwi imigibe? Nanzelelani, lemva kwalokho sikhulume.
“Mulikomya ddi okufuulafuula ebigambo? Muddeemu amagezi, tulyoke twogere.
3 Kungani sithiwa sizinyamazana, singcolile emehlweni enu?
Lwaki tutwalibwa ng’ente era ne tulowoozebwa okuba abasirusiru mu maaso gammwe?
4 Udwengula umphefumulo wakhe ngokuthukuthela kwakhe. Umhlaba uzatshiywa ngenxa yakho yini, loba idwala lisuswe endaweni yalo?
Ggwe eyeyuzayuza olw’obusungu, abantu ensi bagiveeko ku lulwo, oba enjazi zive mu bifo byazo?
5 Yebo, ukukhanya kwabakhohlakeleyo kuzacitshwa, lenhlansi yomlilo wakhe kayiyikukhanya.
“Ddala etabaaza y’omukozi w’ebibi ezikidde, era n’omuliro gw’ekyoto kye tegukyayaka.
6 Ukukhanya kuzafiphala ethenteni lakhe, lesibane sakhe ngaphezu kwakhe sizacitshwa.
Ekitangaala kivudde mu weema ye; n’ettaala eri ku mabbali ge nayo ezikidde.
7 Izinyathelo zamandla akhe zizafinyezwa, lecebo lakhe lizamwisela phansi.
Amaanyi gamuwedde, ebigere bye tebikyali bya maanyi, era enkwe ze, ze zimusuula.
8 Ngoba uzaphoselwa embuleni zinyawo zakhe, ahambe phezu kwembule.
Eky’amazima ebigere bye byamusuula mu kitimba era n’atangatanga mu butimba.
9 Umjibila uzambamba isithende, isihitshela sizamkhulela.
Omutego gumukwata ekisinziiro; akamasu ne kamunyweeza.
10 Igoda lakhe lifihlwe emhlabathini, lomjibila wakhe endleleni.
Omuguwa gumukwekerwa mu ttaka; akatego kamulindirira mu kkubo lye.
11 Izesabiso zizamethusa inhlangothi zonke, zixotshane laye enyaweni zakhe.
Entiisa emukanga enjuuyi zonna era n’emugoba kigere ku kigere.
12 Amandla akhe azaqedwa yindlala, lengozi ilindele ukukhubeka kwakhe.
Emitawaana gimwesunga; ekikangabwa kirindiridde okugwa kwe.
13 Kuzakudla ingxenye zesikhumba sakhe; izibulo lokufa lidle ingxenye zakhe.
Kirya ebitundu by’olususu lwe; omubereberye wa walumbe amulyako emikono n’ebigere.
14 Ithemba lakhe lizahluthunwa ethenteni lakhe, njalo kumenze aye enkosini yezesabiso.
Aggyibwa mu bukuumi bwa weema ye era n’atwalibwa eri kabaka w’ebikangabwa.
15 Kuzahlala ethenteni lakhe elingeyisilo lakhe; isolufa izavuvuzelwa phezu kwendawo yakhe yokuhlala.
Omuliro gumalirawo ddala byonna eby’omu weema ye; ekibiriiti kyakira mu kifo mw’abeera.
16 Impande zakhe zizakoma ngaphansi, logatsha lwakhe lubune ngaphezulu.
Emirandira gye gikala wansi, n’amatabi ge gakala waggulu.
17 Ukukhunjulwa kwakhe kuzabhubha emhlabeni, angabi labizo ezitaladeni.
Ekijjukizo kye kibula ku nsi; talina linnya mu nsi.
18 Bazamfuqa bamsuse ekukhanyeni bamuse emnyameni, bamxotshe emhlabeni.
Agobebwa okuva mu kitangaala, agenda mu kizikiza n’aggyibwa mu nsi.
19 Kayikuba lenzalo lasizukulwana ebantwini bakibo; kakuyikuba lansali endaweni zakhe zokuhlala.
Talina mwana wadde omuzzukulu mu bantu be, newaakubadde ekifo mwabeera.
20 Abalandelayo bazakwethuswa lusuku lwakhe, labokuqala bazabanjwa yisesabiso.
Abantu ab’ebugwanjuba beewuunya ebyamutuukako; n’ab’ebuvanjuba ne bakwatibwa ekikangabwa.
21 Isibili zinjalo indawo zokuhlala zomubi, njalo yiyo le indawo yongamaziyo uNkulunkulu.
Ddala bw’etyo bw’ebeera ennyumba y’omukozi w’ebibi; bwe gaba bwe gatyo amaka g’oyo atamanyi Katonda.”
