UJobe 21
1 Wasephendula uJobe wathi:
Awo Yobu n’addamu n’ayogera nti,
2 Zwanini lilalele ilizwi lami, lalokho kube zinduduzo zenu.
“Muwulirize n’obwegendereza ebigambo byange, era kino kibazzeemu amaanyi.
3 Ngibekezelelani, ukuthi mina ngikhulume; lemva kokukhuluma kwami lingakloloda.
Mungumiikirizeeko nga njogera, oluvannyuma museke.
4 Mina-ke ukusola kwami kusemuntwini yini? Kodwa uba kunjalo, kungani umoya wami ungekhathazeke?
“Okwemulugunya kwange nkw’olekezza muntu? Lwaki okugumiikiriza tekunzigwako?
5 Ngikhangelani, likhakhamale, libeke isandla phezu komlomo.
Muntunuulire mwewuunye, mujja kukwata ne ku mumwa.
6 Yebo, lapho ngikhumbula, ngitshaywa luvalo, lokuthuthumela kubamba inyama yami.
Bwe ndowooza ku kino, nfuna entiisa; omubiri gwange ne gukankana.
7 Ababi baphilelani, babe badala, yebo, bakhule emandleni?
Lwaki abakozi b’ebibi bawangaala, ne bakaddiwa ne beeyongera n’amaanyi?
8 Inzalo yabo izinze phambi kwabo kanye labo, lembewu yabo emehlweni abo.
Balaba abaana baabwe bwe banywezebbwa, ezzadde lyabwe nga balaba.
9 Izindlu zabo zilokuthula kungelakwesaba, loswazi lukaNkulunkulu kaluphezu kwabo.
Amaka gaabwe gaba n’emirembe nga temuli kutya; omuggo gwa Katonda tegubabeerako.
10 Inkunzi yakhe iyakhwela ingaphuthi; inkomokazi yakhe iyazala, ingaphunzi.
Ennume zaabwe teziremererwa, ente zaabwe enkazi zizaala awatali kusowola mwana gwazo.
11 Bakhupha abantwanyana babo njengomhlambi, labantwana babo bayagida.
Abaana baabwe bagendera wamu nga kisibo; obuto ne bubeera mu kuzina.
12 Baphakamisa ilizwi ngesigujana lechacho, bathokoze ngelizwi lomhlanga.
Bayimbira ku bitaasa n’ennanga, ne basanyukira eddoboozi ly’omulere.
Emyaka gyabwe gyonna babeera bulungi, mangwago ne bakka mu ntaana. (Sheol h7585)
14 Babesebesithi kuNkulunkulu: Suka kithi; ngoba kasifisi ulwazi lwendlela zakho.
Kyokka bagamba Katonda nti, ‘Tulekere emirembe gyaffe! Tetwegomba kumanya makubo go.
15 Uyini uSomandla ukuthi simkhonze? Sizazuzani uba simncenga?
Ayinzabyonna ye ani tulyoke tumuweereze? Kiki kye tuganyulwa bwe tumusaba?’
16 Khangela, okuhle kwabo kakukho esandleni sabo; icebo lababi likhatshana lami.
Naye obugagga bwabwe tebuli mu mikono gyabwe, noolwekyo amagezi g’abakozi b’ebibi ganneewunyisa.
17 Kukangaki isibane sababi sicitshwa, kusiza ukuchitheka kwabo phezu kwabo! UNkulunkulu ubabela ubuhlungu elakeni lwakhe.
“Ettaala y’abakozi b’ebibi yo, ezikira emirundi emeka? Ennaku ebajjira emirundi emeka? Katonda abatuusaako obulumi, ng’abasunguwalidde.
18 Banjengamahlanga phambi komoya, lanjengomule isiphepho esiwuphephulayo.
Bali ng’ebisasiro ebitwaalibwa empewo; ng’ebisusunku embuyaga bye zitwala.
19 UNkulunkulu ubekela abantwana bakhe usizi lwakhe. Uyamvuza, njalo uzakwazi.
Katonda abonereza abaana olw’ekibi kya bakitaabwe. Asasule omuntu yennyini oyo alyoke ategeere!
20 Amehlo akhe azabona ukuchitheka kwakhe, anathe okolaka lukaSomandla.
Leka amaaso ge ye yennyini galabe okuzikirira; leka anywe ku kiruyi kya Ayinzabyonna.
21 Ngoba iyini intokozo yakhe endlini yakhe emva kwakhe, lapho inani lenyanga zakhe liqunywa?
Kubanga aba afaayo ki ku maka g’aba alese, nga emyezi gye egyamutegekerwa giweddeko?
22 Kukhona ongafundisa uNkulunkulu ulwazi yini? Ngoba yena wehlulela abaphezulu.
“Eriyo ayinza okuyigiriza Katonda amagezi, kubanga asalira omusango n’abo abasinga okuba aba waggulu?
23 Lo uyafa esemandleni akhe apheleleyo, yena wonke onwabile, elokuthula.
Omusajja omu afiira w’abeerera ow’amaanyi, nga munywevu ddala ali mu mirembe gye,
24 Iziphathelo zakhe zigcwele uchago, lomnkantsho wamathambo akhe umanzi.
omubiri gwe nga guliisiddwa bulungi, amagumba ge nga gajjudde obusomyo.
25 Lomunye ufa elomphefumulo obabayo, engadlanga kokuhle.
Omusajja omulala n’afa ng’alina obulumi ku mutima, nga teyafuna kintu kyonna kirungi.
26 Balala ndawonye ethulini, lempethu zibasibekele.
Ne beebaka kye kimu mu ttaka, envunyu ne zibabikka bombi.
27 Khangelani, ngiyayazi imicabango yenu, lamacebo eliwaceba limelene lami.
“Mmanyi bulungi ddala kye mulowooza, enkwe ze mwagala okunsalira.
28 Ngoba lithi: Ingaphi indlu yesiphathamandla? Njalo lingaphi ithente lendawo zababi zokuhlala?
Mugamba nti, ‘Kaakano eruwa ennyumba y’omusajja ow’amaanyi, eweema abasajja abakozi b’ebibi mwe baabeeranga?’
29 Kalibabuzanga yini abadlula ngendlela, njalo kalinanzeleli iziboniso zabo?
Temwebuuzanga ku abo abatambula eŋŋendo? Temukkiriza bye babagamba,
30 Ukuthi omubi uyekelwa osukwini lokubhujiswa; bazalethwa osukwini lwezintukuthelo.
nti omusajja omukozi w’ebibi awona ku lunaku olw’emitawaana, era awona ku lunaku olw’ekiruyi?
31 Ngubani ozamtshela indlela yakhe ebusweni? Ngubani ozamphindisela ngakwenzileyo?
Ani avumirira ebikolwa bye maaso ku maaso, ani amusasula ebyo by’akoze?
32 Kanti yena uzasiwa engcwabeni, lilindwe idundulu.
Atwalibwa ku ntaana, era amalaalo ge gakuumibwa.
33 Amagade esihotsha amnandi kuye, njalo udonsa wonke umuntu emva kwakhe, njengoba bengelakubalwa abaphambi kwakhe.
Ettaka eriri mu lusenyi limuwoomera, abantu bonna bamugoberera, n’abalala abatamanyiddwa muwendo ne bamukulembera.
34 Pho lizangiduduza njani ngeze, ngoba empendulweni zenu kusele inkohliso?
“Kaakano musobola mutya okuŋŋumya n’ebitaliimu? Tewali kisigaddeyo ku bye mwanzizeemu wabula obulimba!”
