UJobe 18
1 Wasephendula uBilidadi umShuhi wathi:
Na Suhini Bildad buae se,
2 Koze kube nini libekela amazwi imigibe? Nanzelelani, lemva kwalokho sikhulume.
“Bere bɛn na wubegyae kasa tenten yi? Dwene ho yiye, na afei yebetumi akasa.
3 Kungani sithiwa sizinyamazana, singcolile emehlweni enu?
Adɛn nti na wofa yɛn sɛ anantwi na wususuw sɛ yennim nyansa yi?
4 Udwengula umphefumulo wakhe ngokuthukuthela kwakhe. Umhlaba uzatshiywa ngenxa yakho yini, loba idwala lisuswe endaweni yalo?
Wo a wode abufuw tetew wo mu nketenkete, wo nti na yemfi asase so anaasɛ wonnwiriw abotan mfi wɔn sibea ana?
5 Yebo, ukukhanya kwabakhohlakeleyo kuzacitshwa, lenhlansi yomlilo wakhe kayiyikukhanya.
“Omumɔyɛfo kanea adum; na ne gya nnɛw bio.
6 Ukukhanya kuzafiphala ethenteni lakhe, lesibane sakhe ngaphezu kwakhe sizacitshwa.
Hann a ɛwɔ ne ntamadan mu duru sum; kanea a esi ne ho no dum.
7 Izinyathelo zamandla akhe zizafinyezwa, lecebo lakhe lizamwisela phansi.
Nʼanammɔntu mu ahoɔden ano bɛbrɛ ase; nʼankasa nhyehyɛe hwe no ase.
8 Ngoba uzaphoselwa embuleni zinyawo zakhe, ahambe phezu kwembule.
Nʼanammɔn de no kɔ afiri mu, na okyinkyin kɔtɔ ne tan mu.
9 Umjibila uzambamba isithende, isihitshela sizamkhulela.
Afiri so ne nantin na eso ne mu dennen.
10 Igoda lakhe lifihlwe emhlabathini, lomjibila wakhe endleleni.
Wɔasum no afiri ahintaw wɔ fam; afiri wɔ ne kwan mu.
11 Izesabiso zizamethusa inhlangothi zonke, zixotshane laye enyaweni zakhe.
Ahunahuna ma ɔbɔ huboa wɔ ne ho nyinaa na ɛhaw no wɔ nʼanammɔntu biara mu.
12 Amandla akhe azaqedwa yindlala, lengozi ilindele ukukhubeka kwakhe.
Atoyerɛnkyɛm kɔn dɔ no; na sɛ ɔhwe ase a, amanehunu retwɛn no.
13 Kuzakudla ingxenye zesikhumba sakhe; izibulo lokufa lidle ingxenye zakhe.
Ɛwewe ne honam ani baabi; na owu di kan sɛe nʼakwaa.
14 Ithemba lakhe lizahluthunwa ethenteni lakhe, njalo kumenze aye enkosini yezesabiso.
Wɔtwe no fi ne ntamadan bammɔ mu na wɔde no brɛ ahunahunahene.
15 Kuzahlala ethenteni lakhe elingeyisilo lakhe; isolufa izavuvuzelwa phezu kwendawo yakhe yokuhlala.
Ogya te ne ntamadan mu; na wɔabɔ sufre a ɛredɛw apete nʼatenae.
16 Impande zakhe zizakoma ngaphansi, logatsha lwakhe lubune ngaphezulu.
Ne ntin wuwu wɔ ase na ne mman nso wu wɔ soro.
17 Ukukhunjulwa kwakhe kuzabhubha emhlabeni, angabi labizo ezitaladeni.
Wɔnnkae no asase so bio; na onni din wɔ asase so.
18 Bazamfuqa bamsuse ekukhanyeni bamuse emnyameni, bamxotshe emhlabeni.
Wɔka no fi hann mu kɔ sum mu na wɔpam no fi wiase.
19 Kayikuba lenzalo lasizukulwana ebantwini bakibo; kakuyikuba lansali endaweni zakhe zokuhlala.
Onni mma anaa nananom wɔ ne nkurɔfo mu, na nʼaseni biara renka wɔ baabi a ɔtenae.
20 Abalandelayo bazakwethuswa lusuku lwakhe, labokuqala bazabanjwa yisesabiso.
Nnipa a wofi atɔe fam ho adwiriw wɔn wɔ nea ato no no ho; na aninyanne bunkam wɔn a wɔwɔ apuei fam no so.
21 Isibili zinjalo indawo zokuhlala zomubi, njalo yiyo le indawo yongamaziyo uNkulunkulu.
Ampa ara, sɛɛ na omumɔyɛfo atenae te; sɛɛ ne beae a nea onnim Onyankopɔn no te.”
