UJobe 36
1 UElihu waseqhubeka wathi:
Ka naʻe fai ai pe ʻe Elihu ʻene lea, ʻo ne pehē,
2 Ngibekezelela kancinyane, ngizakubonisa ukuthi kuseselamazwi ngoNkulunkulu.
“Ke ke kātaki siʻi pe au, pea te u fakahā kiate koe ʻaia ʻoku toe ʻiate au ke lea ʻaki koeʻuhi ko e ʻOtua.
3 Ngizathatha ulwazi lwami luvela khatshana, nginike ukulunga kuMenzi wami.
Te u ʻomi ʻa ʻeku ʻilo mei he mamaʻo, pea te u tuku ʻae māʻoniʻoni ki hoku Tupuʻanga.
4 Ngoba isibili amazwi ami kawayisiwo amanga; opheleleyo elwazini ulawe.
He ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai hala ʻa ʻeku ngaahi lea: ko ia ia ʻoku haohaoa ʻi he ʻilo ʻoku ʻiate koe.
5 Khangela, uNkulunkulu ulamandla, njalo keyisi; mkhulu emandleni okuqedisisa.
“Vakai, ʻoku māfimafi ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne manukiʻi ha tokotaha: ʻoku māfimafi ia ʻi he mālohi mo e poto.
6 Kayekeli omubi aphile, kodwa unika abayanga okulungileyo.
ʻOku ʻikai te ne fakatolonga ʻae moʻui ʻae angakovi: ka ʻoku ne foaki ʻae totonu ki he masiva.
7 Kasusi amehlo akhe kolungileyo, kodwa balamakhosi esihlalweni sobukhosi; yebo, uyawahlalisa phakade, abesephakama.
ʻOku ʻikai toʻo ʻe ia hono fofonga mei he māʻoniʻoni; ka ʻoku nau ʻi he ngaahi tuʻi ʻi he nofoʻanga fakaʻeiʻeiki; ʻio, ʻoku ne fakatuʻumaʻu ʻakinautolu ke taʻengata, pea kuo hakeakiʻi ʻakinautolu.
8 Njalo uba bebotshiwe ngezibopho, bethunjwe ngezintambo zenhlupheko,
Pea kapau kuo haʻi ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae ngaahi ukamea fakamaʻu, pea fakamaʻu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi afo ʻoe mahaki;
9 abesebatshela isenzo sabo, leziphambeko zabo, ukuthi zazilamandla.
ʻOku ne fakahā ai kiate kinautolu ʻenau ngaahi ngāue, mo ʻenau ngaahi talangataʻa ʻaia kuo nau angatuʻu ai.
10 Uyavula indlebe yabo ekulayweni, alaye baphenduke ebubini.
ʻOku ne fakaava honau telinga foki ki he akonaki, pea fekau ke nau tafoki, pea fekau ke nau tafoki mei he angahia.
11 Uba belalela, bamkhonze, bazachitha insuku zabo kokuhle, leminyaka yabo ezintokozweni.
Kapau te nau talangofua pea tauhi ia, te nau fakaʻosi honau ngaahi ʻaho ʻi he monūʻia, mo honau ngaahi taʻu ʻi he fiemālie.
12 Kodwa uba bengalaleli, bazadlula ngomkhonto, baphele bengelalwazi.
Pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te nau talangofua, te nau ʻauha ʻi he heletā, pea te nau mate taʻemaʻu ʻae ʻilo.
13 Labangamesabiyo uNkulunkulu ngenhliziyo babuthelela intukuthelo; kabakhali esebabophile.
“Ka ko e kau loto mālualoi ʻoku nau fokotuʻu ʻae houhau: ʻoku ʻikai te nau tangi ʻi heʻene haʻisia ʻakinautolu.
14 Umphefumulo wabo uzafela ebutsheni, lempilo yabo phakathi kwezinkotshana.
ʻOku nau mate ʻi he kei talavou, pea ʻoku ʻi he kau taʻemaʻa ʻa ʻenau moʻui.
15 Uzakhulula ohluphekayo ekuhluphekeni kwakhe, avule indlebe yabo ecindezelweni.
ʻOku ne fakamoʻui ʻae mahaki ʻi hono mahaki, pea ne fakaava honau telinga ʻi he taʻomia.
16 Yebo, lawe wakuhuga ukuthi uphume emlonyeni wocindezelo uye endaweni ebanzi, okungelacindezelo kuyo, lokuphezu kwetafula lakho kuzagcwala amanono.
Pea ka ne ke pehē, kuo ne hiki foki koe mei he potu ʻapiʻapi ki he potu ʻataʻatā, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ʻi ai ha ʻapiʻapi; pea ko ia ʻe ʻi ho keinangaʻanga ʻe pito ia ʻi he ngako.
17 Kodwa ugcwalise isigwebo somubi; isigwebo lokulunga kukubambile.
“Ka kuo ke fakakakato ʻae fakamaau ʻoe kau angakovi: ko e fakamaau mo e angatonu ʻoku na puke koe.
18 Qaphela ulaka lungakuhugeli ekuklolodeni, lobukhulu benhlawulo bungakuphambuli.
“Koeʻuhi ʻoku ai ʻae houhau, ke ke vakai telia naʻa ne toʻo atu koe ʻi heʻene tā: pea ka pehē, ʻe ʻikai faʻa fakahaofi koe ʻe he huhuʻi lahi.
19 Ubengalinganisa inotho yakho, ukuthi ubungebe ecindezelweni, lemizamo yonke elamandla?
Pea ʻe manako ia ki hoʻo ngaahi koloa? ʻIkai ʻi he koula, pe ko e mafai kotoa pē ʻoe mālohi.
20 Ungakhefuzeleli lobobusuku bokususwa kwabantu endaweni yabo.
ʻOua naʻa ke holi ki he pō, ʻaia kuo motuhi ai ʻae kakai mei honau fonua.
21 Qaphela, ungaphendukeli ebubini, ngoba ukhethe lokho kulokuhlupheka.
Ke ke vakai, ke ʻoua naʻa ke tokanga ki he angahia: he kuo ke tomuʻa fili ia ʻi he mahaki.
22 Khangela, uNkulunkulu uziphakamisa ngamandla akhe; ngubani ongumfundisi njengaye?
Vakai, ʻoku hakeakiʻi ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi hono mālohi: ko hai ʻoku akonaki ʻo hangē ko ia?
23 Ngubani ommisele indlela yakhe? Kumbe ngubani othe: Wenze ububi?
Ko hai kuo ne tuʻutuʻuni kiate ia ʻa hono hala? Pe ko hai te ne faʻa pehē, ‘Kuo ke fai angahala?’
24 Khumbula ukuthi ukhulise umsebenzi wakhe, abahlabela ngawo abantu.
“Ke ke manatu ke fakaongolelei ʻa ʻene ngāue, ʻaia ʻoku mamata ki ai ʻae kakai.
25 Bonke abantu bayawubona; umuntu uyawukhangela ekhatshana.
ʻE faʻa mamata ki ai ʻae tangata kotoa pē, ʻe faʻa vakai ki ai ʻae tangata ʻi he kei mamaʻo.
26 Khangela, uNkulunkulu uphakeme, njalo kasimazi, lenani leminyaka yakhe kayilakuhlolwa.
Vakai, ʻoku lahi ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻikai te tau faʻa ʻiloʻi ia, pea ko e lau ʻo hono ngaahi ʻaho ʻoku taʻefaʻahakule.
27 Ngoba wenyusa amathonsi amanzi, ahlambulule izulu njengenkungu yawo;
He ʻoku ne toʻo hake ʻae ngaahi mosiʻi vai: ʻoku nau huaʻi hifo ʻae ʻuha ʻo fakatatau ki he mao ʻo ia:
28 amayezi alithululela phansi, lithonte kakhulu phezu komuntu.
ʻAia ʻoku tō hifo ʻe he ngaahi ʻao, pea ʻuha lahi ki he tangata.
29 Yebo, kukhona yini ongaqedisisa ukwendlaleka kwamayezi, umsindo wedumba lakhe?
Pea ʻe faʻa ʻilo koā ʻe ha taha hono folahi atu ʻoe ngaahi ʻao, pe ki he longoaʻa ʻo hono nofoʻanga?
30 Khangela, wendlala ukukhanya kwakhe phezu kwawo, agubuzele impande zolwandle.
Vakai, ʻoku ne folahi atu ʻa ʻene maama ki ai, pea ʻoku ne ʻufiʻufi ʻae kilisitahi.
31 Ngoba ngawo uyehlulela abantu, anike ukudla ngobunengi.
He ʻoku ne fakamaau ʻae kakai ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni; ʻoku ne foaki ʻae meʻakai lahi ʻaupito.
32 Ngezandla usibekela ukukhanya, abesekulaya ngalelo elingena phakathi.
ʻOku ne ʻufiʻufi ʻae maama ʻaki ʻae ngaahi ʻao; pea ne fekauʻi ia ʻi heʻene hoko ʻi he vahaʻa ke ʻoua naʻa ulo.
33 Umdumo wakhe ubika ngakho, lenkomo ngenkungu eyenyukayo.
Ko hono longoaʻa ʻoku ne fakahā ia, ko e houhau lahi ki he angahala.
