UJobe 8
1 Wasephendula uBilidadi umShuhi wathi:
Awo Birudaadi Omusukusi n’addamu n’agamba nti,
2 Koze kube nini ukhuluma lezizinto, lamazwi omlomo wakho abe ngumoya olamandla?
“Onookoma ddi okwogera ebintu bino? Era ebigambo bino by’oyogera n’akamwa ko binaakoma ddi okuba ng’empewo ey’amaanyi?
3 UNkulunkulu uyahlanekela isahlulelo yini? Kumbe uSomandla uyahlanekela ukulunga yini?
Katonda akyusakyusa mu nsala ye? Oba oyo Ayinzabyonna akyusakyusa amazima?
4 Uba abantwana bakho bonile kuye, yena usebalahlile emandleni esiphambeko sabo;
Abaana bo bwe baayonoona eri Mukama, n’abawaayo eri empeera y’ekibi kyabwe.
5 uba wena umdinga uNkulunkulu ngovivi, uncenge kuSomandla;
Kyokka bw’onoonoonya Katonda, ne weegayirira oyo Ayinzabyonna,
6 uba uhlambulukile, uqotho; isibili khathesi ubezavuka ngenxa yakho, aphumelelise indawo yokuhlala yokulunga kwakho.
bw’onooba omulongoofu era ow’amazima, ddala ddala anaakuddiramu n’akuzzaayo mu kifo kyo ekituufu.
7 Lanxa ukuqala kwakho bekukuncinyane, kube kanti isiphetho sakho sizakwanda kakhulu.
Wadde ng’entandikwa yo yali ntono, embeera yo ey’enkomerero ejja kuba nnungi ddala.
8 Ngoba ake ubuze esizukulwaneni sakuqala, uzilungisele isidingo saboyise.
Buuza ku mirembe egy’edda, era onoonyereze ku bakitaabwe bye baayiga;
9 Ngoba singabezolo, njalo kasazi, ngoba insuku zethu emhlabeni ziyisithunzi.
kubanga ffe twazaalibwa jjuuzi era tetulina kye tumanyi, era ne nnaku ze twakamala ku nsi ziri ng’ekisiikirize.
10 Kabayikukufundisa yini, bakutshele, bakhuphe amazwi enhliziyweni yabo?
Tebaakulage bakumanyise era bakutegeeze ebigambo bye mitima gyabwe oba by’okutegeera kwabwe?
11 Imihlanga ingakhula lapho okungelaxhaphozi khona yini? Ibhuma likhule lapho okungelamanzi khona?
Ebitoogo biyinza okumera awatali bitosi?
12 Nxa lisebuluhlazeni balo lingakakhiwa, kube kanti libuna kuqala kwazo zonke izihlahlakazana.
Biba bikyakula nga tebinnasalibwa, bikala mangu okusinga omuddo.
13 Zinjalo indlela zabo bonke abamkhohlwayo uNkulunkulu, lethemba lomzenzisi lizabhubha.
Bw’etyo enkomerero bw’ebeera ey’abo bonna abeerabira Katonda, essuubi ly’abatatya Katonda bwe libula.
14 Othemba lakhe lizaqunywa, lokuthemba kwakhe kuyibulembu besayobe.
Ebyo bye yeesiga byatika mangu, ebyo bye yeesiga, nnyumba ya nnabbubi!
15 Uyeyama endlini yakhe, kodwa kayimi; ubambelela kiyo, kodwa kayihlali.
Yeesigama wuzi za nnabbubi ne zikutuka azeekwatako nnyo naye ne zitanywera.
16 Uluhlaza phambi kwelanga, lamahlumela akhe aphuma esivandeni sakhe.
Ali ng’ekimera ekifukirire obulungi ekiri mu musana, nga kyanjadde amatabi gaakyo mu nnimiro;
17 Impande zakhe zithandele enqunjini; ubona indawo yamatshe.
emirandira gyakyo nga gyezingiridde, okwetooloola entuumu y’amayinja, nga ginoonya ekifo mu mayinja.
18 Uba emchitha endaweni yakhe, izamphika ithi: Kangizange ngikubone.
Naye bwe bakiggya mu kifo kyakyo, ekifo ekyo kikyegaana ne kigamba nti, Sikulabangako.
19 Khangela, le yintokozo yendlela yakhe; njalo kuzakhula abanye emhlabathini.
Mazima ddala essanyu lyakyo liggwaawo, ebirime ebirala ne bikula okuva mu ttaka.
20 Khangela, uNkulunkulu kayikumlahla opheleleyo, kabambi isandla sabenzi bobubi.
Mazima ddala Katonda talekerera muntu ataliiko musango, era tanyweza mukono gw’abakola ebibi.
21 Aze agcwalise umlomo wakho ngohleko, lezindebe zakho ngokumemeza kwentokozo.
Ajja kuddamu ajjuze akamwa ko enseko, n’emimwa gyo amaloboozi ag’essanyu.
22 Abakuzondayo bazakwembeswa ngenhloni, lethente lababi lingabi khona.
Abalabe bo balijjula obuswavu, era n’ennyumba z’abakozi b’ebibi zirimalibwawo.”
