UJobe 40
1 INkosi yasiphendula uJobe yathi:
Pea naʻe folofola pe ʻa Sihova kia Siope, ʻo pehē,
2 Ophikisana loSomandla uzamqondisa yini? Osola uNkulunkulu kakuphendule.
“Ko ia ʻoku ne fakakikihi ki he Māfimafi te ne akonaki ia? Ko ia ʻoku ne valokiʻi ʻae ʻOtua, tuku ke ne talia ia.”
3 UJobe waseyiphendula iNkosi wathi:
Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Siope kia Sihova, ʻo ne pehē,
4 Khangela, ngiphansi; ngingakuphendula ngithini? Ngibeka isandla sami emlonyeni wami.
“Vakai kuo u kovi; ko e hā te u tali ʻaki koe? Te u ʻai hoku nima ki hoku ngutu.
5 Ngikhulumile kanye, kodwa kangiyikuphendula; kumbe kabili, kodwa kangiyikuqhubeka.
Kuo u lea ʻo tuʻo taha ka ʻe ʻikai te u toe lea: ʻio, kuo tuʻo ua ka ʻe ʻikai te u toe lea atu.”
6 INkosi yasimphendula uJobe isesivunguzaneni yathi:
Pea naʻe toki folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siope mei he ʻahiohio, ʻo pehē,
7 Bopha khathesi ukhalo lwakho njengendoda; ngizakubuza, ubusungazisa.
“Ko eni, ke ke nonoʻo ho noʻotangavala ʻo taau mo e tangata: pea te u ʻeke kiate koe, pea ke fakahā mai kiate au.
8 Isibili, uzachitha isahlulelo sami yini? Ungilahle, ukuze ube ngolungileyo yini?
Te ke fakataʻeʻaongaʻi ʻa ʻeku fakamaau foki? Te ke fakahalaia au, koeʻuhi ke ke māʻoniʻoni koe?
9 Njalo ulengalo yini njengoNkulunkulu? Kumbe ungaduma yini ngelizwi njengaye?
Kuo ke maʻu ʻae nima ʻo hangē ko e ʻOtua? Pe ʻoku ke faʻa mana koe ʻaki ʻae leʻo ʻo hangē ko ia?
10 Khathesi zicecise ngobukhosi lokuphakama, uzembese ngodumo lenkazimulo.
“Ko eni, ke ke teuʻi koe ʻaki ʻae māfimafi mo e ngeia; mo ke kofuʻaki koe ʻae nāunau mo e toulekeleka.
11 Usabalalise intukuthelo zolaka lwakho, ukhangele wonke ozigqajayo, umthobise.
Tufaki ke mamaʻo ʻae tuputāmaki ʻo ho houhau: pea vakai kiate kinautolu taki taha kotoa pē ʻoku laukau, ʻo fakavaivai ia.
12 Khangela wonke ozigqajayo, umehlisele phansi, unyathelele phansi ababi endaweni yabo.
Vakai kiate ia kotoa pē ʻoku fielahi, pea ʻohifo ia ki lalo; pea molomoloki hifo ʻae kau angahala ʻi honau potu.
13 Ubafihle bonke ethulini, ubophe ubuso babo ngasese.
Fakafufū ʻakinautolu fakataha ʻi he efu; pea nonoʻo honau mata ʻi he lilo.
14 Khona lami ngizavuma kuwe, ukuthi isandla sakho sokunene singakusindisa.
Pea te u toki fakamoʻoni kiate koe, ʻe faʻa fakamoʻui koe ʻe ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻoʻou.
15 Ake ukhangele imvubu engayenza kanye lawe; idla utshani njengenkabi.
“Ko eni, ke ke vakai ki he Piʻimote, ʻaia kuo u ngaohi mo koe; ʻoku ne kai mohuku ʻo hangē ko e fanga pulu:
16 Ake ukhangele, amandla ayo asekhalweni lwayo, lokuqina kwayo kusemisipheni yesisu sayo.
Vakai, ʻoku ʻi hono fasiʻatuʻa ʻa hono mālohi, mo ʻene mafai ʻoku ʻi he pito ʻo hono kete.
17 Iyagobisa umsila wayo njengomsedari; imisipha yemilenze yayo yelukene.
ʻOku ne ueʻi hono iku ʻo hangē ko e sita: ko e uoua ʻo hono tenga ʻoku fefihitaki fakataha.
18 Amathambo ayo anjengempompi zethusi, amathambo ayo anjengemigoqo yensimbi.
Ko hono ngaahi hui ʻoku tatau mo e ngaahi konga palasa mālohi; ʻoku tatau hono ngaahi hui mo e ngaahi vaʻa ʻaione.
19 Ingeyokuqala yezindlela zikaNkulunkulu; owayenzayo wasondeza inkemba yayo.
Ko e lahi ia ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻae ʻOtua: ko ia naʻa ne ngaohi ia ʻoku ne faʻa fai ke fakaofi ʻene heletā kiate ia.
20 Ngoba intaba ziyayivezela ukudla, lapho okudlala khona inyamazana zonke zeganga.
Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku tupu hake ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻae meʻakai maʻana, ʻaia ʻoku fakavā ai ʻae ngaahi manu kotoa pē ʻoe ngoue.
21 Ilala phansi kwesihlahla esiluhlaza, ekusithekeni kwemihlanga lamaxhaphozi.
ʻOku tokoto ia ʻi he lolo ʻakau malumalu, ʻi he lilolilo ʻoe kaho, mo e ngaahi ano.
22 Izihlahla eziluhlaza ziyayisibekela ngomthunzi wazo; imidubu yesifula iyayiphahla.
Ko e ngaahi ʻakau malumalu ʻoku ʻufiʻufi ia ʻaki honau ata; ʻoku tuʻu takatakai ʻiate ia ʻae ngaahi uilou ʻoe vaitafe.
23 Khangela, umfula uyayicindezela, kayiphangisi; ilesibindi lanxa iJordani ingaphuphumela emlonyeni wayo.
Vakai, ʻoku ne inu ʻae vaitafe ʻo maha, pea ʻikai toʻotoʻo: ʻoku tui ia te ne faʻa mimisi hake ʻa Sioatani ki hono ngutu.
24 Ongayibamba yini ngamehlo ayo? Ongahlaba yini amakhala ayo ngemijibila?
ʻOku ne maʻu ia ʻaki hono mata: ʻoku ne tuiʻi ʻae ngaahi tauhele ʻaki hono iku.
