UJobe 8
1 Wasephendula uBilidadi umShuhi wathi:
Na ka whakautu a Pirirara Huhi, ka mea,
2 Koze kube nini ukhuluma lezizinto, lamazwi omlomo wakho abe ngumoya olamandla?
Kia pehea ake te roa o tau korero i enei mea? Kia pehea ake te roa o nga kupu a tou mangai e rite ai ki te hau kaha?
3 UNkulunkulu uyahlanekela isahlulelo yini? Kumbe uSomandla uyahlanekela ukulunga yini?
E whakaparori ke ranei te Atua i te whakawa? E whakaparori ke ranei te Kaha Rawa i te tika?
4 Uba abantwana bakho bonile kuye, yena usebalahlile emandleni esiphambeko sabo;
Ki te mea i hara au tamariki ki a ia, a kua maka atu ratou e ia hei utu mo to ratou he;
5 uba wena umdinga uNkulunkulu ngovivi, uncenge kuSomandla;
Ki te rapu wawe koe i to Atua, a ka inoi ki te Kaha Rawa;
6 uba uhlambulukile, uqotho; isibili khathesi ubezavuka ngenxa yakho, aphumelelise indawo yokuhlala yokulunga kwakho.
Ki te mea he ma koe, he tika, ina, ka ara ake ia ki a koe aianei, ka manaakitia ano e ia te nohoanga o tou tika.
7 Lanxa ukuqala kwakho bekukuncinyane, kube kanti isiphetho sakho sizakwanda kakhulu.
Ahakoa i iti tou timatanga, e nui noa atu tou whakamutunga.
8 Ngoba ake ubuze esizukulwaneni sakuqala, uzilungisele isidingo saboyise.
Tena ra, ui atu ki to mua whakatupuranga; anga atu hoki ki te mea kua rapua e o ratou matua.
9 Ngoba singabezolo, njalo kasazi, ngoba insuku zethu emhlabeni ziyisithunzi.
Nonanahi nei hoki tatou, kahore hoki e mohio; he atarangi nei hoki o tatou ra i runga i te whenua;
10 Kabayikukufundisa yini, bakutshele, bakhuphe amazwi enhliziyweni yabo?
E kore ranei ratou e whakaako i a koe, e korero ki a koe, e puaki mai ranei he kupu i o ratou ngakau?
11 Imihlanga ingakhula lapho okungelaxhaphozi khona yini? Ibhuma likhule lapho okungelamanzi khona?
E tupu ranei te wiwi i te mea kahore he repo? E nui ranei te raupo ki te kahore he wai?
12 Nxa lisebuluhlazeni balo lingakakhiwa, kube kanti libuna kuqala kwazo zonke izihlahlakazana.
I te mea he kaiota tonu, a kihai i tapahia, kua maroke i mua ake i nga otaota katoa.
13 Zinjalo indlela zabo bonke abamkhohlwayo uNkulunkulu, lethemba lomzenzisi lizabhubha.
Ka pera ano nga ara o te hunga katoa e wareware ana ki te Atua, a ka riro ki te kore ta te tangata whakaponokore i tumanako ai.
14 Othemba lakhe lizaqunywa, lokuthemba kwakhe kuyibulembu besayobe.
Ka motuhia atu tana i whakamanawa atu ai, ko te whare hoki o te pungawerewere hei tumanakohanga mona.
15 Uyeyama endlini yakhe, kodwa kayimi; ubambelela kiyo, kodwa kayihlali.
Ka okioki atu ia ki tona whare; heoi e kore e tu: u tonu tana pupuri atu, otiia e kore e mau.
16 Uluhlaza phambi kwelanga, lamahlumela akhe aphuma esivandeni sakhe.
E matomato ana i te mea kahore nei te ra, a e wana ana ona peka i tana kari.
17 Impande zakhe zithandele enqunjini; ubona indawo yamatshe.
Kapi tonu te puranga i ona pakiaka, e kitea ana e ia te wahi kamaka.
18 Uba emchitha endaweni yakhe, izamphika ithi: Kangizange ngikubone.
Ki te whakamotitia iho ia i tona wahi, ka whakakahore taua wahi ki a ia, ka mea, Kahore ahau i kite i a koe.
19 Khangela, le yintokozo yendlela yakhe; njalo kuzakhula abanye emhlabathini.
Nana, ko te hari tenei o tona ara, a ka tupu ake etahi atu i roto i te puehu.
20 Khangela, uNkulunkulu kayikumlahla opheleleyo, kabambi isandla sabenzi bobubi.
Nana, e kore te Atua e whakakahore ki te tangata tika, e kore ano e puritia e ia te ringa o nga tangata kino.
21 Aze agcwalise umlomo wakho ngohleko, lezindebe zakho ngokumemeza kwentokozo.
Tera ano tou mangaika whakakiia e ia ki te kata, ou ngutu ki te hamama.
22 Abakuzondayo bazakwembeswa ngenhloni, lethente lababi lingabi khona.
He whakama te kakahu mo te hunga e kino ana ki a koe, a ka kahore noa iho te tapenakara o te hunga kino.
