UJobe 39
1 Uyasazi yini isikhathi sokuzala kwamagogo edwala? Uyananzelela yini ukuhelelwa kwezimpala?
“ʻOku ke ʻilo ʻae feituʻulaʻā ʻoku fanauʻi ai ʻae fanga kosi kaivao ʻoe maka? Pe ʻoku ke faʻa fakaʻilonga ʻoka fanauʻi ʻae fanga hainiti?
2 Ungazibala yini inyanga ezizigcwalisayo? Njalo uyasazi yini isikhathi sokuzala kwazo?
ʻOku ke faʻa lau ki he kakato ʻo honau ngaahi māhina? Pe ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻae feituʻulaʻā ʻoku nau fāʻele ai?
3 Zigoba, zizale abantwana bazo, zikhuphe imihelo yazo.
ʻOku nau fakamapelu ʻakinautolu, ʻoku nau fāʻeleʻi honau ʻuhiki, ʻoku nau lī kituʻa ʻenau ngaahi mamahi.
4 Amazinyane azo aqine akhule egangeni; asuke ahambe, angabuyi kuzo.
ʻOku matamatalelei honau ʻuhiki, ʻoku nau tupu hake ʻi he toafa; ʻoku nau ʻalu atu, pea ʻikai toe haʻu kiate kinautolu.
5 Ngubani owakhupha ubabhemi weganga ekhululekile? Njalo ngubani othukulule izibopho zikababhemi weganga,
“Ko hai kuo ne fekau atu tauʻatāina ʻae ʻasi kaivao? Pe ko hai kuo ne vete ʻae ngaahi haʻi ʻoe ʻasi kaivao?
6 engimmisele inkangala ibe ngumuzi wakhe, lesimunyu sibe zindawo zakhe zokuhlala?
ʻAia kuo u tuʻutuʻuni ʻae toafa ko hono fale ʻoʻona, mo e fonua lala ko hono ngaahi nofoʻanga.
7 Uhleka umsindo womuzi, angezwa imisindo yomtshayeli.
ʻOku manuki ia ki he tokolahi ʻoe kolo, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne tokanga ki he kalanga ʻoe tauhi.
8 Udinga izintaba ezilidlelo lakhe, edinga elandela konke okuluhlaza.
Ko hono kaiʻanga ko e ngaahi moʻunga ʻataʻatā, pea ʻoku ne kumi ʻae meʻa mata kotoa pē.
9 Inyathi iyavuma yini ukukusebenzela? Izalala yini esibayeni sakho ebusuku?
“ʻE fie tauhi kiate koe ʻae liimi, pe nofo ofi ki hoʻo ʻaiʻangakai?
10 Ungayibophela inyathi yini ngentambo yayo emfolweni? Ingabhuqa yini izihotsha emva kwakho?
ʻOku ke faʻa nonoʻo ʻae liimi ʻaki hono noʻotaki ʻi he keli? Pe te ne muimui ʻiate koe ke fakatoka lelei ʻae ngaahi luo?
11 Ungathembela kuyo yini ngoba amandla ayo makhulu? Ungayiyekelela yini umtshikatshika wakho?
Te ke falala ki ai koeʻuhi ʻoku lahi ʻa hono mālohi? Pe te ke tuku hoʻo ngāue kiate ia?
12 Ungayikholwa yini ukuthi izabuyisa inhlanyelo yakho, njalo iyibuthele ebaleni lokubhulela lakho?
Te ke tui kiate ia, te ne fetuku ki ʻapi hoʻo ngaahi fua, ʻo tānaki ia ki ho feleoko?
13 Impiko zezintshe ziyaphaphazela ngentokozo; kodwa zizimpiko lezinsiba zengabuzane yini?
“Ko e kapakau ʻoe ʻositalesi ke kapakapa: ka ʻoku puna hake ʻae sitoaka mo e falekoni.
14 Ngoba itshiya amaqanda ayo emhlabathini, iwakhudumeze othulini,
Vakai, ʻoku ne fakato hono ngaahi fua ʻi he kelekele, ʻo ne fakamafana ia ʻi he efu,
15 iyakhohlwa ukuthi unyawo lungawachoboza, lokuthi isilo seganga singawanyathela.
Pea ngalo ʻiate ia ʻe laiki nai ia ʻe he vaʻe, pe maumauʻi ia ʻe he manu kaivao.
16 Iwaphatha kalukhuni amaphuphu ayo, kungathi kawayisiwo awayo; umtshikatshika wayo uyize, ingelakwesaba.
Kuo fakafefeka ʻene anga ki hono fānganga ʻo hangē ʻoku ʻikai ʻaʻana ʻakinautolu: ʻoku taʻeʻaonga ʻene ngāue taʻemanavahē;
17 Ngoba uNkulunkulu wayithathela inhlakanipho, kayabelanga ukuqedisisa.
Koeʻuhi kuo fakamasivaʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he poto, pea naʻe ʻikai te ne tuku kiate ia ʻae faʻa ʻilo.
18 Lapho sekuyisikhathi iyaziphakamisela phezulu, ihleke ibhiza lomgadi walo.
Ko e feituʻulaʻā ko ia te ne tuʻu hake ki ʻolunga, ʻoku ne manukiʻi ʻae hoosi mo ia ʻoku heka ai.
19 Uzanika yini ibhiza amandla? Uyayigqokisa yini intamo yalo ngomhlonga oyephuzelayo?
“Naʻa ke tuku ʻe koe ʻae mālohi ki he hoosi? Naʻa ke fakakofuʻaki hono kia ʻae mana?
20 Uyalenza leqe yini njengentethe? Ubukhosi bokukhala kwalo buyesabeka.
ʻOku ke faʻa fakamanavahēʻi ia ʻo hangē ko e heʻe? Ko e mānava lahi ʻo hono ihu ʻoku fakailifia.
21 Liyaphanda esihotsheni, lithokoze ngamandla alo, liphume ukuhlangabeza izikhali.
ʻOku kenukenu ia ʻi he vahaʻa moʻunga, pea fiefia ʻi he mālohi: ʻoku ʻalu atu ia ke fakafetaulaki ki he kau tangata ʻoku toʻo mahafutau.
22 Liyakuhleka ukwesaba, kalesabi, kaliphenduki phambi kwenkemba.
ʻOku ne manuki ki he manavahē, pea ʻoku ʻikai ilifia ia; pe foki kimui mei he heletā.
23 Phezu kwalo isamba semitshoko siyakhehlezela, umkhonto ophazimayo lomdikadika.
ʻOku ngatata ʻae tangakaho kiate ia, ʻae tao ngingila pea mo e fakaū.
24 Ngokuqhuqha lokufutheka liginye umhlaba; kalikholwa ukuthi ngumsindo wophondo.
ʻOku ne folohifo ʻae kelekele ʻi he feinga mo e lili: pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne tui ko e leʻo ia ʻoe meʻa lea.
25 Ekukhaleni kophondo lithi: Aha! Linuke impi ikhatshana, umdumo wezinduna, lokumemeza.
ʻOku pehē ʻe ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi meʻa lea, ‘He, he;’ pea nanamu ki he tau ʻi he kei mamaʻo, ko e mana ʻoe kau taki tau, mo ʻenau mavava.
26 Ukhozi luyaphapha yini ngokuqedisisa kwakho, luselulela impiko zalo eningizimu?
“ʻOku puna ʻae falekoni ʻi hoʻo poto, ʻo mafao atu hono kapakau ki he feituʻu tonga?
27 Ilinqe liyaqonga ngokulaya kwakho, lakhe isidleke salo engqongeni yini?
ʻOku puna hake ʻae ʻikale ko hoʻo fekau, ʻo ne ngaohi hono pununga ʻi ʻolunga?
28 Lihlala lilale ebusuku edwaleni, engqongeni yedwala leyenqaba.
ʻOku nofo ia ʻo tatali ʻi he maka, ʻi he maka hangatāmaki, mo e potu mālohi.
29 Lisuka lapho lidinga ukudla; amehlo alo abonela khatshana.
ʻOku kumi mei ai ʻene meʻakai, pea ʻoku sio hono mata mei he mamaʻo.
30 Lamaphuphu alo azitika ngegazi; lalapho okukhona ababuleweyo likhona.
ʻOku mimisi hake foki ʻe hono ʻuhiki ʻae toto: pea ko e potu ko ia ʻoku ʻi ai ʻae mate, ʻoku ʻi ai ia.”
