Ayubu 11
1 Ndipo Sofari Mnaamathi akajibu:
Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Sofaa mei Neama, ʻo ne pehē,
2 “Je, maneno haya yote yapite bila kujibiwa? Je, huyu mnenaji athibitishwe kuwa na haki?
“ʻIkai ʻoku totonu ke tali ʻae ngaahi lea lahi ni? Pea ʻe fakatonuhiaʻi koe ʻae tangata faʻa lau?
3 Je, maneno yako ya upuzi yawafanye watu wanyamaze kimya? Je, mtu asikukemee unapofanya dhihaka?
ʻE fakalongoʻi ʻae kakai ʻe hoʻo ngaahi loi? Pea ʻi hoʻo manuki, ʻe ʻikai fakamā koe ʻe ha taha?
4 Unamwambia Mungu, ‘Imani yangu ni kamili nami ni safi mbele zako.’
He kuo ke pehē, ‘Ko ʻeku akonaki ʻoku totonu pē, pea ʻoku ou maʻa ʻi ho ʻao.’
5 Aha! Laiti kwamba Mungu angesema, kwamba angefungua midomo yake dhidi yako,
Kae taumaiā ke folofola mai ʻae ʻOtua, ʻo ne faʻai hono fofonga kiate koe;
6 naye akufunulie siri za hekima, kwa kuwa hekima ya kweli ina pande mbili. Ujue hili: Mungu amesahau hata baadhi ya dhambi zako.
Pea ne fakahā kiate koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa lilo ʻoe poto, he ʻoku lahi hake ʻaupito ia ʻi he meʻa ʻoku hā mai! Ko ia ke ke ʻilo, ʻoku siʻi ʻae totongi ʻoku ʻeke ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he meʻa ʻoku taau mo hoʻo angahia.
7 “Je, waweza kujua siri za Mungu? Je, waweza kuyachunguza mambo yote kumhusu Mwenyezi?
“He te ke ʻilo ʻae ʻOtua ʻi he faʻa ʻeke? He te ke faʻa kumi ke ʻilo haohaoa ʻae Māfimafi?
8 Ni juu mno kuliko mbingu: waweza kufanya nini? Kina chake ni kirefu kuliko kuzimu: wewe waweza kujua nini? (Sheol h7585)
ʻOku māʻolunga ia ʻo hangē ko e langi; ko e hā ʻaʻau te ke fai? ʻOku māʻulalo hifo ʻi heli; te ke faʻa ʻilo ʻae hā? (Sheol h7585)
9 Kipimo chake ni kirefu kuliko dunia, nacho ni kipana kuliko bahari.
Ko hono fuofua ʻoku lōloa lahi ʻi he māmani, pea lau lahi ia ʻi he tahi.
10 “Kama akija na kukufunga gerezani, na kuitisha mahakama, ni nani awezaye kumpinga?
Kapau ʻe tuʻusi ʻe ia, pe tāpuni ke maʻu, pe tānaki fakataha, ʻe taʻofi ia ʻe hai?
11 Hakika anawatambua watu wadanganyifu; naye aonapo uovu, je, haangalii?
He ʻoku ne ʻiloʻi ʻae kakai vale: ʻoku ne vakai foki ki he fai kovi; pea ʻe ʻikai te ne tokangaʻi?
12 Mpumbavu aweza kuwa mwenye hekima, endapo mtoto wa punda-mwitu atazaliwa mwanadamu.
He ʻoku fie poto ʻae tangata vale, neongo ʻoku fanauʻi ʻae tangata ʻo hangē ko e ʻuhiki ʻoe ʻasi kai vao.
13 “Hata sasa ukiutoa moyo wako kwake na kumwinulia mikono yako,
“Kapau te ke teu ho loto, pea mafao atu ho nima kiate ia;
14 ukiiondolea mbali ile dhambi iliyo mkononi mwako wala usiuruhusu uovu ukae hemani mwako,
Kapau ʻoku ʻi ho nima ʻae angahala, siʻaki ia ke mamaʻo, pea ʻoua naʻa nofo ʻae kovi ʻi ho ngaahi fale.
15 ndipo utainua uso wako bila aibu; utasimama imara bila hofu.
He ko ia te ke toki hanga hake ai ho mata ʻo taʻehanoʻila; ʻio, te ke tuʻumaʻu, ʻo ʻikai manavahē:
16 Hakika utaisahau taabu yako, utaikumbuka tu kama maji yaliyokwisha kupita.
He te ke fakangaloʻi hoʻo mamahi, ʻo manatuʻi ia ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi vai kuo tafe atu:
17 Maisha yako yatangʼaa kuliko adhuhuri, nalo giza litakuwa kama alfajiri.
Pea ʻe ʻāsinisini lahi hoʻo motuʻa ʻi he hoʻatāmālie ʻoe ʻaho; te ke ulo atu, te ke tatau mo e pongipongi.
18 Utakuwa salama, kwa kuwa lipo tumaini; utatazama pande zote na kupumzika kwa salama.
Pea te ke fiemālie koe, he ʻoku ai ʻae ʻamanaki lelei; ʻio, te ke keli, ʻo mālōlō fiemālie pe.
19 Utalala, wala hakuna atakayekuogofya, naam, wengi watajipendekeza kwako.
Pea te ke tokoto foki, pea ʻe ʻikai fakamanavahēʻi koe ʻe ha taha; ʻio, ʻe kumi meʻa meiate koe ʻe he tokolahi.
20 Bali macho ya waovu hayataona, wokovu utawaepuka; tarajio lao litakuwa ni hangaiko la mtu anayekata roho.”
Ka ʻe vaivai ʻae mata ʻoe angahala, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau hao, pea ko e ifi ʻoe mānava ʻa ʻenau ʻamanaki.”
