UJobe 22
1 Wasephendula uElifazi umThemani wathi:
Awo Erifaazi Omutemani n’addamu n’ayogera nti,
2 Umuntu angaba losizo kuNkulunkulu yini, ngoba ohlakaniphileyo elusizo kuye ngokwakhe?
“Omuntu ayinza okugasa Katonda? Wadde oyo ow’amagezi ayinza okumuyamba?
3 Kuyintokozo yini kuSomandla ukuthi ulungile? Kumbe inzuzo kuye ukuthi uphelelise indlela zakho?
Ayinzabyonna yandifunye kwesiima ki singa wali mutuukirivu? Yandiganyuddwa ki singa amakubo go gaali magolokofu?
4 Uzakusola yini ngenxa yokwesaba kwakho? Uzangena lawe kusahlulelo.
“Akukangavvula lwa kumutya era kyava akuvunaana?
5 Ububi bakho kabubukhulu yini, lezono zakho kazilakuphela?
Okwonoona kwo si kunene nnyo? Ebibi byo si bingi nnyo?
6 Ngoba uthethe isibambiso kubafowenu kungelasizatho, wahlubula abanqunu izigqoko.
Kubanga waggya ku muganda wo emisingo awatali nsonga; waggya engoye ku bantu, n’obaleka bwereere.
7 Kawumnathisanga amanzi odiniweyo, lolambileyo umgodlele ukudla.
Tewawa bakoowu mazzi, abaagala wabamma emmere,
8 Kodwa umuntu olengalo, umhlaba ungowakhe, lowemukeleka ebusweni wahlala kuwo.
wadde nga wali musajja wa maanyi, eyalina ettaka, omusajja ow’ekitiibwa, era nga byonna ggwe nnyini byo.
9 Uxotshile abafelokazi bengelalutho, lengalo zezintandane zichotshoziwe.
Weegobako bannamwandu bagende nga toliiko ky’obawadde; abatalina bakitaabwe n’obamalamu amaanyi.
10 Ngakho-ke imijibila ikuhanqile, lovalo luhle lwakwesabisa,
Emitego kyegivudde gikwetooloola. Lwaki entiisa ey’amangu ekujjira?
11 kumbe ubumnyama ukuze ungaboni, lesikhukhula samanzi sikusibekele.
Lwaki enzikiza ekutte nnyo tosobola kulaba, era lwaki amataba gakubikkako?
12 UNkulunkulu kakho yini engqongeni yamazulu? Bona-ke ingqonga yezinkanyezi, ukuthi ziphakeme kangakanani.
“Katonda tali waggulu mu ggulu? Era laba, emmunyeenye ezisingayo okuba waggulu, nga bwe ziri ewala!
13 Kanti uthi: UNkulunkulu wazini? Angahlulela yini engemuva komnyama onzima?
Ate n’ogamba nti, ‘Katonda amanyi ki? Ayinza okulamulira mu kizikiza?
14 Amayezi amnyama ayisisibekelo sakhe ukuze angaboni, uhamba esigombolozini samazulu.
Ebire ebikutte bimubikkako, n’aba ng’atatulaba bw’aba atambula mu bifo by’omu ggulu.’
15 Usunanzelele indlela endala yini abantu ababi abanyathela kuyo?
Onoosigala mu kkubo ery’edda abasajja abakozi b’ebibi lye baakwata?
16 Abahluthunwa kungakabi yisikhathi; uzamcolo wathululwa phezu kwesisekelo sabo.
Baatwalibwa ng’ekiseera kyabwe tekinnatuuka, emisingi gyabwe gyatwalibwa amataba.
17 Abathi kuNkulunkulu: Suka kithi. LoSomandla wayenzeni kubo?
Be bagamba Katonda nti, ‘Tulekere emirembe! Ayinzabyonna ayinza kutukola ki?’
18 Kanti yena wayegcwalise izindlu zabo ngokuhle; kodwa icebo labakhohlakeleyo likhatshana lami.
Ate nga ye, ye yajjuza ennyumba zaabwe ebintu ebirungi, noolwekyo neewuunya nnyo amagezi g’abakozi b’ebibi.
19 Abalungileyo bayakubona bathokoze, lomsulwa ubahleka usulu.
Abatuukirivu balaba okuzikirira kwabwe ne bajaguza; abataliiko musango babasekerera nga bagamba nti,
20 Isibili isitha sethu sichithiwe, lomlilo uqede insali yabo.
‘Ddala abalabe baffe bazikiridde, era omuliro gulidde obugagga bwabwe.’
21 Ake wejwayelane laye, ube lokuthula, ngalokho okuhle kuzakuza kuwe.
“Gonderanga Katonda ofunenga emirembe; mu ngeri eno ebirungi lwe binajjanga gy’oli.
22 Ake wemukele umlayo ovela emlonyeni wakhe, ubeke amazwi akhe enhliziyweni yakho.
Kkiriza ebiragiro ebiva mu kamwa ke era oteeke ebigambo bye mu mutima gwo.
23 Uba ubuyela kuSomandla, uzakwakhiwa, ususe okubi khatshana lamathente akho.
Bw’onodda eri oyo Ayinzabyonna, onodda buggya, bwonooteeka ebibi ewala ne weema yo,
24 Ubusubeka igolide lakho othulini, legolide leOfiri elitsheni lezifula.
n’oteeka n’amayinja go ag’omuwendo mu ttaka, zaabu yo eya Ofiri ku njazi z’omu mugga,
25 Ngakho uSomandla uzakuba ligolide lakho, lesiliva sakho esinengi.
awo Ayinzabyonna anaabeeranga zaabu yo, era ffeeza esingayo obulungi.
26 Ngoba ngalesosikhathi uzazithokozisa ngoSomandla, uphakamisele ubuso bakho kuNkulunkulu.
Ddala ddala olisanyukira mu oyo Ayinzabyonna era oyimuse amaaso go eri Katonda.
27 Uzakhuleka kuye, akuzwe, ukhokhe izifungo zakho.
Olimusaba, alikuwulira, era olituukiriza obweyamo bwo.
28 Uzaquma-ke udaba, luqiniseke kuwe, lokukhanya kukhanye endleleni zakho.
Ky’olisalawo kirikolebwa, era ekitangaala kirimulisa amakubo go.
29 Nxa behliselwe phansi, ubususithi: Phezulu! Abesesindisa othobekileyo ngamehlo.
Abantu abalala bwe balisuulibwa n’ogamba nti, ‘Bayimuse!’ Olwo alirokola abagudde.
30 Uzamkhulula ongemsulwa; njalo ukhululwa ngokuhlanzeka kwezandla zakho.
Alinunula n’oyo aliko omusango, alinunulwa olw’obulongoofu bw’emikono gyo.”
