Jobo
12 Cwale Jobo aalaba, ali:
2 “Kaniti mina batu ki mina babanani zibo,*
Mi butali bukafela ka nako yemuka shwa!
3 Kono ni na, ninani ngana.*
Hamu nifiti ku sesiñwi.
Ki mañi yasazibi litaba ze?
Mutu yalukile ni yasanyazahali wasehiwa.
5 Mutu yasanyandi unyefula yatahezwi ki ziyezi,
Uhupula kuli ziyezi itahelanga feela ba mahutu ashekesha.*
6 Litende za masholi li mwa kozo,+
Mi babahalifisa Mulimu baiketile,+
Bona babanani mulimu wabona mwa mazoho abona.
7 Kono hamubuze lifolofolo, mi lika miluta;
Mubuze ni linyunywani za mahalimu, mi lika mitaluseza.
8 Kamba mubuze* lifasi, mi lika miluta;
Mi litapi za mwa liwate lika mibulelela.
9 Ki ifi kwa lika zeo kaufela yesazibi kuli
Lizoho la Jehova ki lona leliezize cwalo?
11 Kana zebe haizibi kuketa manzwi
Sina lulimi moluzibela muutwahalelo wa lico?+
12 Kana butali habufumanwi ku babahulile,+
Mi kana kutwisiso haifumanwi ku babapilile nako yetelele?
14 Halutulula nto yeñwi, haikoni kuyahiwa sinca;+
Sakwalile, hakuna mutu yakona kusikwalula.
16 Ki yamaata mi unani butali sakata;+
Unani maata fahalimwaa yakeluha mwa nzila ni yakelusa babañwi;
17 Utahisa kuli baelezi bazamaye basina makatulo,*
Mi uzizibaza baatuli.+
18 Utamulula mawenge atamilwe ki malena,+
Mi ubatama makanda mwa liteka.
19 Utahisa kuli baprisita bazamaye basina makatulo,+
Mi utulula babamaata;+
20 Baelezi babasepilwe ubatokwisa manzwi
Mi basupali* ubaamuha kutwisiso;
21 Utahisa kuli babakutekeha+ bashubulwe,
Mi ufokolisa babamaata;*
22 Upatulula lika zetungile kulizwisa mwa lififi,+
Mi utahisa lififi lelituna mwa liseli;
23 Utiisa macaba ilikuli aatimeze;
Uhulisa macaba kuli aaise mwa buhapiwa.
