Siope 1
1 Naʻe ai ʻae tangata ʻi he fonua ko Usa, naʻe hingoa ko Siope; pea naʻe haohaoa mo angatonu ʻae tangata ko ia, pea ne manavahē ia ki he ʻOtua, pea afe mei he kovi.
Elizweni lase-Uzi kwakuhlala indoda eyayithiwa nguJobe. Indoda le yayingelasici, iqotho; yayimesaba uNkulunkulu njalo ikuxwaya okubi.
2 Pea naʻe fanauʻi kiate ia ʻae foha ʻe toko fitu mo e ʻofefine ʻe toko tolu.
Yayilamadodana ayisikhombisa lamadodakazi amathathu,
3 Ko ʻene koloa ko e sipi ʻe fitu afe, mo e kāmeli ʻe tolu afe, mo e taulua fanga pulu ʻe nimangeau, mo e ʻasi fefine ʻe nimangeau, mo e fuʻu ʻapi tokolahi ʻaupito; pea naʻe lahi taha ai ʻae tangata ni ʻi he kakai kotoa pē ʻoe potu hahake.
ilezimvu eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa, amakamela azinkulungwane ezintathu, izipani zenkabi ezingamakhulu amahlanu labobabhemi abangamakhulu amahlanu, njalo ilezisebenzi ezinengi. Yayinothile kulabo bonke abantu beMpumalanga.
4 Pea naʻe faʻa fai ʻe hono ngaahi foha ʻae kātoanga kai ʻi honau ngaahi fale, ʻo taki taha ʻi hono ʻaho; pea naʻe tala ki honau tuofefine ʻe toko tolu ke kai mo inu mo kinautolu.
Amadodana akhe ayesenza amazopha okwenza amadili okuthakazelela amalanga okuzalwa kwawo ezindlini zawo, anxuse odadewabo bobathathu ukuzakudla anathe labo.
5 Pea kuo ʻosi ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo ʻenau fai kātoanga, naʻe fekau ʻe Siope ke fakatapui ʻakinautolu, pea ne tuʻu hengihengi hake, ʻo ʻatu ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ʻo fakatatau ki honau tokolahi kotoa pē: he naʻe pehē ʻe Siope, naʻa kuo angahala ʻa hoku ngaahi foha, ʻo lea kovi ki he ʻOtua ʻi honau loto. Naʻe fai pehē pe ʻa Siope ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē.
Kwakusithi mhla idili liphela, uJobe wayewabiza azowahlambulula. Ekuseni kakhulu wayesenza umnikelo wokutshiswa wamunye ngamunye esithi, “Mhlawumbe abantwabami benzile isono bathuka uNkulunkulu ezinhliziyweni zabo.” Lo waba ngumkhuba wakhe uJobe.
6 Ka naʻe ai ʻae ʻaho naʻe fakataha ai ʻae ngaahi foha ʻoe ʻOtua ke fakahā ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe haʻu ai foki ʻa Sētane mo kinautolu.
Ngelinye ilanga izingilosi zeza ukuzezethula phambi kukaThixo, loSathane weza lazo.
7 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Ko hoʻo haʻu mei fē?” Pea tali ʻe Sētane kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Mei heʻeku fakatakamilo ʻa māmani mo ʻeku feʻaluʻaki fano ʻi ai.”
UThixo wathi kuSathane, “Uvela ngaphi?” USathane wamphendula uThixo wathi, “Ngivela ekuzulazuleni emhlabeni, ngihambahamba ngisiya le lale.”
8 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Kuo ke tokangaʻi ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Siope, he ʻoku ʻikai hano tatau ʻi māmani, ko e tangata haohaoa mo angatonu, ʻoku manavahē ia ki he ʻOtua, pea afe mei he kovi?”
UThixo wasesithi kuSathane, “Usuke wayinanzelela yini inceku yami uJobe? Kakho emhlabeni onjengaye; kalasici, uqondile, indoda emesabayo uNkulunkulu, exwaya okubi.”
9 Pea naʻe tali ai ʻe Sētane kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “He kuo manavahē ʻa Siope ki he ʻOtua taʻehatotongi?
USathane waphendula wathi, “Kambe uJobe umesaba kungelasizatho na uNkulunkulu?
10 ʻIkai kuo ke takatakai ʻaki ia ʻae ʻā, mo hono fale, mo ʻene meʻa kotoa pē mei he potu kotoa pē? Pea kuo ke fakamonūʻiaʻi ʻae ngāue ʻa hono nima, pea ʻoku tupulekina ʻene koloa ʻi he fonua.
Kawumbiyelanga ngothango yini yena lendlu yakhe, kanye lakho konke alakho? Uwubusisile umsebenzi wezandla zakhe kuze kuthi imihlambi yakhe yezimvu leyenkomo igcwale ilizwe lonke.
11 Kae mafao atu eni ho nima, ʻo taaʻi ʻaia kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻana, pea te ne lauʻikoviʻi koe ʻi ho fofonga.”
Kodwa ake welule isandla sakho uchithe konke alakho, uzabona uzakuthuka ebusweni bakho.”
12 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Sētane, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻi ho nima ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻaʻana; kaeʻoua naʻa ke hilifaki ho nima kiate ia.” Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Sētane mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
UThixo wathi kuSathane, “Kulungile, konke alakho kusezandleni zakho, kodwa yena ngokwakhe ungamthinti.” USathane wasesuka phambi kukaThixo.
13 Pea naʻe ai ʻae ʻaho naʻe kai mo inu uaine ʻe hono ngaahi foha mo hono ngaahi ʻofefine ʻi he fale ʻo honau taʻokete lahi:
Ngelinye ilanga amadodana kaJobe lamadodakazi akhe ayezitika ngokudla, enatha iwayini endlini yomnewabo omdala,
14 Pea naʻe haʻu ai ʻae talafekau kia Siope, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe fai ʻae keli ʻe he fanga pulu, pea kai ʻae fanga ʻasi ʻi he potu ofi ki ai:
isithunywa safika kuJobe sathi, “Inkabi bezilima labobabhemi besidla eduze khonapho,
15 Pea naʻe ʻoho mai ʻae kakai Sipa ʻo ʻave ʻakinautolu; pea kuo nau tāmateʻi ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā; pea ko au pe kuo hao ke tala ia kiate koe.”
kwafika amaSabhini ahlasela aqhuba konke ahamba. Izisebenzi azicakazile ngenkemba kwasala mina ngedwa engisindileyo ukuzakubikela!”
16 Pea lolotonga ʻene lea mo ʻene haʻu foki ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē, “Kuo tō mai mei he langi ʻae afi ʻae ʻOtua, pea kuo vela ai ʻae fanga sipi, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki, ʻo fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu; pea ko au pe kuo hao ke tala ia kiate koe.”
Sisakhuluma esinye isithunywa safika sathi, “Umlilo kaNkulunkulu wehle uvela ezulwini wazitshisa izimvu lezisebenzi, kusele mina ngedwa engisindileyo ukuzakubikela!”
17 Pea lolotonga ʻene lea mo ʻene haʻu foki ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe vahe tolu ʻae kongakau Kalitia, ʻonau ʻoho mai ki he fanga kāmeli, pea ʻave ia, pea kuo nau tāmateʻi ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā; pea ko au pe kuo hao ke tala ia kiate koe.”
Elokhu esakhuluma kwafika esinye isithunywa sathi, “AmaKhaladiya abe ngamaqembu amathathu ehlela emakameleni akho awaqhuba ahamba lawo. Izisebenzi azicakazile ngenkemba kwasila mina ngedwa ukuzakubikela!”
18 Pea lolotonga ʻene lea mo ʻene haʻu foki ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne pehē, “Naʻe kai mo inu uaine ʻa ho ngaahi foha mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine ʻi he fale ʻo honau taʻokete lahi:
Elokhu esakhuluma kwafika njalo esinye isithunywa sathi, “Amadodana lamadodakazi akho abesidla edilini enatha iwayini endlini yomnewabo omdala,
19 Pea ʻiloange, kuo hā mai ʻae fuʻu matangi lahi mei he toafa, ʻo taaʻi hono tuliki ʻe fā ʻoe fale, pea naʻe holo ia ki he kau talavou, pea kuo nau mate; pea ko au pe kuo hao ke tala ia kiate koe.”
kwathi masinyane vungu isavunguzane siqhamuka enkangala saphekula amagumbi womane endlu. Yathi mbo phezu kwabo bahle bafa, kwasila mina ngedwa ukuzakubikela!”
20 Pea naʻe toki tuʻu hake ʻa Siope, ʻo ne haehae hono pulupulu, ʻo fakatekefua ia, pea fakafoʻohifo ki he kelekele, ʻo hū.
Ekuzwa lokho uJobe wasukuma wadabula isembatho sakhe, waphuca ikhanda lakhe. Wazilahla phansi wakhonza
21 ʻO ne pehē, “Naʻaku haʻu telefua pe mei he manāva ʻo ʻeku faʻē, pea te u toe ʻalu telefua atu pe: naʻe foaki ʻe Sihova, pea kuo toʻo atu ʻe Sihova; fakafetaʻi pe ki he huafa ʻo Sihova.”
wathi: “Ngaphuma ngize esiswini sikamama, njalo ngizasuka ngize. UThixo wapha njalo usethethe; kalidunyiswe ibizo likaThixo.”
22 ʻI he ngaahi meʻa ni kotoa pē naʻe ʻikai angahala ʻa Siope, pe tuku ha kovi ki he ʻOtua.
Phakathi kwakho konke lokhu uJobe kazange enze isono ngokubeka umlandu wokuthi athi uNkulunkulu wonile.
