UJobe 8
1 Wasephendula uBilidadi umShuhi wathi:
Tete Suhitɔ, Bildad ɖo nya ŋu na Hiob be,
2 Koze kube nini ukhuluma lezizinto, lamazwi omlomo wakho abe ngumoya olamandla?
“Va se ɖe ɣe ka ɣie nànɔ nya siawo gblɔm? Wò nyawo nye yaƒoƒo sesẽ ɖeɖe ko.
3 UNkulunkulu uyahlanekela isahlulelo yini? Kumbe uSomandla uyahlanekela ukulunga yini?
Ɖe Mawu atso afia ŋkunɔa? Ɖe Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la atrɔ nya dzɔdzɔe abua?
4 Uba abantwana bakho bonile kuye, yena usebalahlile emandleni esiphambeko sabo;
Esi viwòwo wɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe eŋu la, etsɔ wo de asi na tohehe si woƒe nu vɔ̃ dze na.
5 uba wena umdinga uNkulunkulu ngovivi, uncenge kuSomandla;
Gake ne àkpɔ Mawu dzi ɖa, aƒo koko na Ŋusẽkatãtɔ la,
6 uba uhlambulukile, uqotho; isibili khathesi ubezavuka ngenxa yakho, aphumelelise indawo yokuhlala yokulunga kwakho.
ekema ne èle dzadzɛe, le dzɔdzɔe, fifia gɔ̃ hã la, atso le tawò eye wòagaɖo wò te, ada wò ɖe teƒe si wòle be nànɔ.
7 Lanxa ukuqala kwakho bekukuncinyane, kube kanti isiphetho sakho sizakwanda kakhulu.
Wò gɔmedzedze anɔ sue gake emegbe àdzi asɔ gbɔ ɖe edzi.
8 Ngoba ake ubuze esizukulwaneni sakuqala, uzilungisele isidingo saboyise.
“Bia dzidzime siwo do ŋgɔ, eye nàkpɔe ɖa be nu ka wo fofowo srɔ̃ mahã,
9 Ngoba singabezolo, njalo kasazi, ngoba insuku zethu emhlabeni ziyisithunzi.
elabena míawo la, etsɔviwo míenye, míenya naneke o eye míaƒe ŋkekewo le anyigba dzi le abe vɔvɔli ko ene.
10 Kabayikukufundisa yini, bakutshele, bakhuphe amazwi enhliziyweni yabo?
Ɖe womafia nu wò, agblɔe na wò oa? Ɖe womagblɔ nya na wò tso woƒe gɔmesese me oa?
11 Imihlanga ingakhula lapho okungelaxhaphozi khona yini? Ibhuma likhule lapho okungelamanzi khona?
Ɖe keti miena, tsina ƒlaluu ɖe teƒe si sii mele oa? Ɖe aƒla awɔ nyuie ne mekpɔ tsi oa?
12 Nxa lisebuluhlazeni balo lingakakhiwa, kube kanti libuna kuqala kwazo zonke izihlahlakazana.
Esi wogale mumu ko eye womeɖo sisi me haɖe o la, woyrɔna kaba wu gbe si le gbedzi.
13 Zinjalo indlela zabo bonke abamkhohlwayo uNkulunkulu, lethemba lomzenzisi lizabhubha.
Aleae wòvaa emee na ame siwo katã ŋlɔ Mawu be eye nenemae Mawumavɔ̃lawo ƒe mɔkpɔkpɔ tsrɔ̃nae.
14 Othemba lakhe lizaqunywa, lokuthemba kwakhe kuyibulembu besayobe.
Nu si ŋu wòɖo dzi ɖo la meɖo ŋusẽ o eye nu si wòde mee la nye yiyiɖɔ.
15 Uyeyama endlini yakhe, kodwa kayimi; ubambelela kiyo, kodwa kayihlali.
Ede me eƒe ɖɔ eye wòlã, eku ɖe eŋu, gake etso ɖe eƒe asi me.
16 Uluhlaza phambi kwelanga, lamahlumela akhe aphuma esivandeni sakhe.
Ɖeko wòle abe ati si wode tsii nyuie le ŋdɔgbe ene ekekea eƒe alɔwo ɖe abɔa me,
17 Impande zakhe zithandele enqunjini; ubona indawo yamatshe.
eƒe kewo blana ɖe agakpe geɖewo ŋu eye wodia teƒe le kpewo dome.
18 Uba emchitha endaweni yakhe, izamphika ithi: Kangizange ngikubone.
Gake ne wohoe le enɔƒe la, teƒe la gbea nu le egbɔ eye wògblɔna be, ‘Nyemekpɔ wò kpɔ o.’
19 Khangela, le yintokozo yendlela yakhe; njalo kuzakhula abanye emhlabathini.
Vavã eƒe agbe yrɔna eye atiku bubuwo miena ɖe eteƒe.
20 Khangela, uNkulunkulu kayikumlahla opheleleyo, kabambi isandla sabenzi bobubi.
“Enye nyateƒe be Mawu megbea ame si ŋu fɔɖiɖi mele o alo doa ŋusẽ nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔlawo ƒe asi o.
21 Aze agcwalise umlomo wakho ngohleko, lezindebe zakho ngokumemeza kwentokozo.
Ke hã la, agana nukoko nayɔ wò nu me fũu, eye wòatsɔ dzidzɔɣli ayɔ wò nuyiwo nu.
22 Abakuzondayo bazakwembeswa ngenhloni, lethente lababi lingabi khona.
Ŋukpe alé wò futɔwo eye ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe agbadɔwo maganɔ anyi o.”
