Siope 6
1 Ka naʻe leaange ʻa Siope, ʻo ne pehē,
Wasephendula uJobe wathi:
2 “Taumaiā kuo fakatatau totonu ʻa ʻeku mamahi, pea ke ʻai kātoa ʻeku mamahi ki he meʻa fakatatau!
“Nxa ubuhlungu bami bungalinganiswa lokuhlupheka kwami konke kufakwe esikalini!
3 He ko eni, ʻe mamafa lahi ia ki he ʻoneʻone ʻoe tahi: ko ia kuo fōngia hifo ai ʻeku ngaahi lea.
Ngempela bungasinda ukwedlula itshebetshebe yolwandle, akungamangalisi ukuthi amazwi ami abhede kanje.
4 He ʻoku ʻi loto ʻiate au ʻae ngaahi ngahau ʻoe Māfimafi, ko hono kona ʻo ia ʻoku ne inumia hoku laumālie: ʻoku tuʻu tali tau pe kiate au ʻae ngaahi fakailifia ʻae ʻOtua.
Imitshoko kaSomandla iphakathi kwami, umoya wami unatha itshefu yayo; inhlupho zokuhlukuluza zikaNkulunkulu ziqondiswe kimi.
5 He ʻoku tangi ʻae ʻasi kai vao ʻoka maʻu ʻe ia ʻae mohuku? Pe ʻoku tangi ʻae pulu ʻi heʻene kai?
Kambe ubabhemi weganga uyakhala yini utshani bukhona, loba inkabi ikhonye yona ukudla ilakho?
6 ʻE faʻa kai ʻae meʻa ifoifonoa taʻehamāsima? Pe ʻoku ai ha ifo ʻi he nāunau ʻoe foʻi manu?
Ukudla okuduma kuyadleka na kungelatswayi, kumbe okumhlophe kweqanda kuyanambitheka yini?
7 Ko e ngaahi meʻa naʻe fehiʻa hoku laumālie ke ala ki ai, ko ʻeku meʻakai mamahi ia.
Ngiyala ukukuthinta; ukudla okunjalo kubuyisa inhliziyo yami.
8 “Taumaiā ke u lavaʻi ʻeku kole; pea tuku mai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae meʻa ʻoku ou holi ki ai!
Oh, aluba ngingazuza isicelo sami, uNkulunkulu angiphe lokho engikufisayo,
9 ʻIo, ke lelei ki he ʻOtua ke tāmateʻi au; ke ne tukuange hono nima, ʻo motuhi au!
ukuthi uNkulunkulu avume ukungichoboza, ekele nje isandla sakhe singiqede!
10 Pehē te u toki maʻu ai ʻae fiemālie; ʻio, te u tali mālohi au ki he mamahi ke ʻoua naʻa ne mamae; he naʻe ʻikai te u fufū ʻae ngaahi folofola ʻae tokotaha māʻoniʻoni.
Lalapho ngizabe ngilokhu ngilale induduzo intokozo yami ebuhlungwini obungadediyo, ukuthi bengingawaphikanga amazwi akhe oNgcwele.
11 He ko e hā hoku mālohi, koeʻuhi ke u ʻamanaki ʻeau; pea ko e hā hoku ngataʻanga, koeʻuhi ke u fakatolonga ai pe ʻeku moʻui?
Ngilamandla bani okuthi ngibe lokhu ngithemba? Ngisamelelwe yini ukuba ngibe ngilokhu ngibekezela?
12 He ko e mālohi ʻoe ngaahi maka ʻa hoku mālohi? Pe ko e palasa ʻa hoku kakano?
Ngilamandla elitshe yini? Inyama yami ilithusi na?
13 ʻIkai ʻoku ʻiate au haku tokoni? Pea kuo kapusi ʻaupito ʻae poto ʻiate au?
Ngilawo yini amandla okuzisiza, manje njengoba sengemukwe impumelelo?
14 “ʻOka mamahi ha taha [ʻoku ngali ]ke ʻofa kiate ia ʻa hono kāinga; ka ʻoku ne liʻaki ʻe ia ʻae manavahē ki he Māfimafi.
Iloba ngubani ogodla umusa kumkhula wakhe udela ukwesaba uSomandla.
15 Kuo fai kākā ʻa hoku kāinga ʻo hangē ko ha vaitafe, pea hangē ko e ʻoho ʻoe vai ʻoku nau mole atu;
Kodwa abafowethu kabathenjwa njengemifula egeleza icitsha, njengemifula echithayo
16 He ʻoku ʻuliʻuli ia koeʻuhi ko e ʻaisi, ʻaia ʻoku lilo ʻi ai ʻae ʻuha hinehina:
ileliqhwa eselincibilika, njalo igcwele ngongqwaqwane osencibilikile,
17 ʻOka māmāfana ia, ʻoku nau mole: pea ʻoka ʻaʻafu, ʻoku ʻauha leva ia mei hono potu.
kodwa ikhawule ukugeleza ngesikhathi sokoma, kuthi sekutshisa amanzi anyamalale ezindleleni zawo.
18 Ko e ngaahi hala ʻo honau tafeʻanga kuo fakakehe; ʻoku fakaʻaʻau ʻo ʻikai, pea mole.
Indwendwe zamakamela ziyaphambuka ezindleleni zazo; zintule enkangala zifele khona.
19 Naʻe kumi lahi ʻe he kakai ʻo Tima, ko e kau fononga ʻo Sipa naʻa nau tatali ki ai.
Indwendwe zamakamela aseThema zidinga amanzi, abathengisi baseShebha balinde bethembile.
20 Naʻa nau puputuʻu koeʻuhi naʻa nau ʻamanaki; naʻa nau haʻu ki ai, pea mā.
Bayadana ngoba bebekade bethembile; bayafika khonale bafike badane.
21 He ko e meʻa noa pe foki ʻakimoutolu; ʻoku mou mamata ki hoku lī ki lalo, pea ʻoku mou ilifia.
Lani selitshengise ukuthi kalilancedo; libona into eyesabekayo beselisesaba.
22 He ne u pehē, ‘Tokoni mai?’ Pe, ‘Foaki mai ha meʻa mei hoʻomou koloa?’
Sengake ngatsho yini ukuthi, ‘Ake lingihlawulele lokhu, ngihlengani ngempahla yenu,
23 Pe, ‘Fakamoʻui au mei he nima ʻoe fili? Pe, ‘Huhuʻi au mei he nima ʻoe mālohi?’
ngikhululani esandleni sesitha, ngihlengani ekufithizelweni ngabalesihluku’?
24 “Akonakiʻi au, pea te u longo pe: pea mou fai ke u ʻilo pe kuo u hē ʻi he hā.
Ngifundisani, ngizathula; ake lingitshengise lapho engiphambanise khona.
25 Hono ʻikai mālohi ʻae ngaahi lea totonu! Ka ʻoku valokiʻi ʻae hā ʻe hoʻomou valoki?
Abuhlungu kanganani amazwi eqiniso! Kodwa ukuphikisa kwenu kutshengisani?
26 He ʻoku mou pehē ke valokiʻi ʻae ngaahi lea, mo e ngaahi tala ʻo ha taha kuo tuʻutāmaki, ʻoku hangē ha matangi?
Lizama ukuqondisa engikutshoyo, amazwi omuntu oselahlekelwe lithemba liwathethe njengomoya nje na?
27 ʻIo, ʻoku mou lemohekina ʻae tamai mate, pea mou keli ha luo ki homou kāinga.
Lina lingenza inkatho ngezintandane, lithengise lomngane wenu.
28 Ko ia, mou fiemālie, ʻo vakai kiate au; he ʻoku ʻilongofua kiate kimoutolu ʻo kapau ʻoku ou kākā.
Kodwa okwamanje wobani lomusa lingizwele. Ngingaqamba amanga phambi kwenu na?
29 ʻOku ou kole, mou toe fakakaukau he ʻoku ʻi ai ʻeku māʻoniʻoni.
Dedani, lingenzi okungaqondanga; khumbulani kutsha, phela ubuqotho bami busengozini.
30 He ʻoku ai ha angahala ʻi hoku ʻelelo? ʻIkai ʻe faʻa ʻilo ʻe hoku ngutu ʻae ngaahi meʻa kovi?
Kukhona okubi na okusezindebeni zami? Kambe umlomo wami kawukwehlukanisi okubi na?”
