UJobe 31
1 Ngenza isivumelwano lamehlo ami; pho ngingananzelela njani intombi?
“Naʻa ku fai ʻae fuakava mo hoku mata; pea ka kuo pehē, ko e hā te u siofia ai ha taʻahine?
2 Ngoba siyini isabelo sikaNkulunkulu esivela phezulu, lelifa likaSomandla elivela endaweni eziphezulu?
He ko e hā ʻae ʻinasi mei he ʻOtua ʻi ʻolunga? Pea mo e tufakanga mei he Māfimafi ʻi ʻolunga?
3 Incithakalo kayisiyomubi yini, lengozi yabenzi bobubi?
ʻIkai ʻoku ʻi he kau angahala ʻae malaʻia? Mo e fakaʻauha foʻou ki he kau fai kovi?
4 Yena kaziboni yini indlela zami, abale zonke izinyathelo zami?
ʻIkai ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi hoku ngaahi hala, pea lau ʻeku ngaahi laka kotoa pē?
5 Uba ngihambe ngokuyize, kumbe unyawo lwami luphuthumele enkohlisweni,
“He kapau naʻaku ʻalu ʻi he loi, pea kapau teu veʻe vave ki he kākā;
6 kangilinganise ngesilinganiso esilungileyo, ukuze uNkulunkulu azi ubuqotho bami.
Tuku ke fakamamafa au ʻi he meʻa fakatatau totonu, koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa ʻeku angatonu.
7 Uba inyathelo lami liphambukile endleleni, lenhliziyo yami yalandela amehlo ami, kumbe kunamathele isici ezandleni zami;
He kapau naʻaku laka hē mei he hala, pea muimui hoku loto ki hoku mata, pe piki ha ʻuli ki hoku nima;
8 kangihlanyele, kodwa kudle omunye, lezilimo zami zisitshulwe.
Tuku ai ke u tūtuuʻi kae kai ʻe ha taha kehe; ʻio, ke taʻaki fuʻu hake ʻa hoku taʻu.
9 Uba inhliziyo yami iyengwe ngowesifazana, kumbe ngacathama emnyango kamakhelwane wami,
“Kapau naʻe kākaaʻi ʻa hoku loto ʻe ha fefine, pe te u toitoi ʻi he matapā ʻo hoku kaungāʻapi;
10 umkami kacholele omunye, labanye kabaguqe phezu kwakhe.
Pea tuku ke momosi ʻa hoku uaifi mo ha taha, pea mapelu ki ai ha niʻihi kehe.
11 Ngoba lokho kuyinkohlakalo, njalo kuyisono ngabahluleli.
He ko e hia matea ia, ʻio, ko e angahala ke tautea ʻe he kau fakamaau.
12 Ngoba ngumlilo odla kuze kube yincithakalo, usiphule sonke isivuno sami.
He ko e afi ia ʻoku ne kai ʻo aʻu ki he fakaʻauha, pea ʻe ʻosiʻosingamālie ai ʻeku koloa.
13 Uba ngalile udaba lwenceku yami loba olwencekukazi yami, lapho ziphikisana lami,
“Kapau naʻaku lumaʻi ʻae meʻa ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki pe ko ʻeku kaunanga, ʻi he ʻena fai mo au.
14 pho ngizakwenzani lapho uNkulunkulu esukuma? Lalapho esethekela, ngizaphendulani kuye?
Ko e hā ai te u fai ʻoka tuʻu hake ʻae ʻOtua? Pea ʻoka ʻaʻahi ʻe ia, ko e hā te u tali ʻaki ia?
15 Lowo owangenza esiswini kamenzanga yena yini, lowasibumba esiswini munye?
He ʻikai naʻe ngaohi ia ʻe ia naʻa ne ngaohi au ʻi he manāva? Pea ʻikai naʻe fakatupu ʻakimaua ʻosi pe ʻi he manāva ʻe he tokotaha?
16 Uba ngigodlele umyanga isifiso, kumbe ngifiphaze amehlo omfelokazi,
“Kapau ne u taʻofi ʻae masiva mei heʻenau holi, pe fai ke vaivai ʻae mata ʻoe fefine kuo mate hono husepāniti;
17 kumbe ngadla ucezu lwami ngedwa, ukuze intandane ingadli kulo
Pea kuo u kai vale haʻaku meʻa siʻi, ʻo ʻikai te ma kai ia mo e tamai mate;
18 (ngoba kwasebutsheni bami yakhula lami nginjengoyise, ngamqondisa kusukela esizalweni sikamama),
(He ʻoku talu ʻeku lahi hake mo ʻene ʻiate au, ʻo hangē ko haʻane tamai, pea talu ʻeku haʻu mei he manāva ʻo ʻeku faʻē mo ʻeku fakahinohino ia; )
19 uba ngabona obhubha ngenxa yokuswela isigqoko, loba umyanga engelasembatho,
Kapau kuo u mamata ki ha taha ʻoku mate koeʻuhi ko e telefua, pe ha masiva taʻehakofu;
20 uba inkalo zakhe zingangibusisanga, ngoba ekhudunyezwe yiboya bezimvu zami,
Kapau naʻe ʻikai tāpuaki au ʻe hono noʻotanga vala, pea ʻikai māfana ia ʻi he fulufulu ʻo ʻeku fanga sipi;
21 uba ngaphakamisa isandla sami ngimelene lentandane, lapho ngabona usizo lwami esangweni,
Kapau kuo u hiki hoku nima ki he tamai mate, ʻi heʻeku ʻilo ʻoku ou mālohi ʻi he matapā:
22 kaliwe ihlombe lami esiphangeni sami, lengalo yami iqamuke ethanjeni layo.
ʻOfa ke homo hoku uma mei hoku hui fohe, pea fesiʻi hoku nima ʻi he hokotanga hui.
23 Ngoba incithakalo kaNkulunkulu yayiyisesabiso kimi, ngingenelisi ngenxa yobukhulu bakhe.
He ko e fakaʻauha mei he ʻOtua ko e meʻa fakailifia kiate au, pea ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ngeia naʻe ʻikai te u faʻa kātakiʻi.
24 Uba ngenzile igolide laba lithemba lami, ngathi kugolide elihle: Themba lami.
“He kapau naʻaku ʻamanaki ki he koula, pe te u pehē ki he koula lelei, ‘Ko hoku falalaʻanga koe;’
25 Uba ngithokozile ngoba inotho yami inengi, langoba isandla sami sithole okunengi;
Kapau naʻaku fiefia ʻi he tupu ʻo lahi ʻeku koloa, pea koeʻuhi kuo maʻu lahi ʻe hoku nima;
26 uba ngikhangele ilanga lapho libenyezela, loba inyanga ehamba enkazimulweni,
Kapau naʻaku siofia ʻae laʻā ʻi heʻene ulo, pe ko e māhina ʻoku hāʻele ʻi he ngingila;
27 lenhliziyo yami yayengwa ensitha, kumbe isandla sami sange umlomo wami,
Pea kuo fasiaʻi fufū pe hoku loto, pe ʻuma hoku ngutu ki hoku nima:
28 lalokho yisiphambeko phambi kwabehluleli, ngoba ngabe ngimphikile uNkulunkulu waphezulu.
Ko e angahala foki ia ke fakamaauʻi he ka ne pehē, ko ʻeku liʻaki ia ʻae ʻOtua ʻoku ʻi ʻolunga.
29 Uba ngithokozile ngokuchitheka kongizondayo, kumbe ngajabula lapho ububi bumthola;
He kapau naʻaku fiefia ʻi he ʻauha ʻo ia naʻe fehiʻa kiate au, pe te u angahiki ki ai ʻoka moʻua ia ʻe he kovi:
30 njalo ngingavumelanga umlomo wami ukuthi wone, ngokucela umphefumulo wakhe ngesiqalekiso;
Ka naʻe ʻikai te u tuku ke angahala ai ʻa hoku ngutu, ʻi he fakaʻamu ke tō ha malaʻia ki hono laumālie.
31 uba abantu bethente lami bebengatshongo ukuthi: Hawu, aluba besilokwenyama yakhe, ngabe kasisuthanga.
ʻIkai ʻoku faʻa pehē ʻe heʻeku kau nofoʻanga, Naʻe holi ʻe hai ki haʻane meʻakai pea ʻikai mākona ai?
32 Owemzini kazanga alale esitaladeni; iminyango yami ngayivulela isihambi.
Naʻe ʻikai mohe ʻae muli ʻi he hala: ka ne u fakaava hoku matapā ke talia ʻae fononga.
33 Uba ngasibekela iziphambeko zami njengoAdamu, ngokufihla isono sami esifubeni sami.
He naʻaku fufū koā ʻeku angahala ʻo hangē ko ʻAtama, ʻo fakalilolilo ʻeku hia ʻi hoku fatafata?
34 Ngoba ngethuswa lixuku elikhulu, lokudelelwa ngabensendo kwangesabisa, ngakho ngathula, kangaze ngaphuma emnyango.
Pea te u manavahē ki he fuʻu tokolahi? Pe fakailifiaʻi au ʻe he manuki ʻae ngaahi fānau, ke u longo ai, ʻo taʻehū atu ʻi he matapā?
35 Kungathi ngabe ngilongangizwa! Khangelani uphawu lwami. Kungathi uSomandla angangiphendula, lokuthi ophikisana lami ngabe ubhale ugwalo!
Taumaiā kuo ʻi ai ha tokotaha ʻe fie fanongo kiate au! Vakai, ko hoku loto ke talia au ʻe he Māfimafi, pea ke fai ha tohi ʻe hoku fili.
36 Isibili, bengingaluthwala ehlombe lami, ngilubophe lube ngumqhele kimi.
Ko e moʻoni te u hili ia ki hoku uma, ʻo nonoʻo ia kiate au ʻo hangē ha pale.
37 Ngimtshele inani lezinyathelo zami, ngisondele kuye njengesiphathamandla.
Te u ʻaʻau atu kiate ia ʻae lau ʻo ʻeku ngaahi laka; te u ʻalu atu ʻo hangē ha ʻeiki ke ofi kiate ia.
38 Uba umhlaba wami ukhalile ngami, lemifolo yawo ililile ndawonye,
He kapau kuo tangi ʻe hoku fonua kiate au, pe lāunga ʻa hono ngaahi keliʻanga;
39 uba ngidlile amandla awo kungelamali, kumbe ngenza umphefumulo wabaniniwo uphele,
Pea kapau kuo u kai taʻetotongi ʻa hono ngaahi fua, pe te u fakamamahiʻi ʻae laumālie ʻokinautolu naʻe tauhi ki ai:
40 kakuhlume ukhula oluhlabayo endaweni yengqoloyi, lokhula olunukayo endaweni yebhali. Amazwi kaJobe asephelile.
ʻOfa ke tupu ai ʻae talatalaʻāmoa ko e fetongi ʻoe uite, mo e ʻakau taʻeʻaonga ko e fetongi ʻoe paʻale.” Kuo ngata ʻae fakamatala ʻa Siope.
