INkosi yasimphendula uJobe isesivunguzaneni yathi:
2 and seide, Who is this man, wlappynge sentences with vnwise wordis?
Ngubani lo ofiphaza iseluleko ngamazwi angelalwazi?
3 Girde thou as a man thi leendis; Y schal axe thee, and answere thou to me.
Bopha-ke ukhalo lwakho njengendoda, njalo ngizakubuza, njalo ungenze ngazi.
4 Where were thou, whanne Y settide the foundementis of erthe? schewe thou to me, if thou hast vndurstondyng.
Wawungaphi lapho ngimisa izisekelo zomhlaba? Tshono uba usazi ukuqedisisa.
5 Who settide mesures therof, if thou knowist? ethir who stretchide forth a lyne theronne?
Ngubani owabeka izilinganiso zawo, uba ukwazi? Kumbe ngubani owelulela intambo yokulinganisa phezu kwawo?
6 On what thing ben the foundementis therof maad fast? ether who sente doun the corner stoon therof,

Kumbe ngubani owavalela ulwandle ngezivalo, lapho lufohla luphuma esiswini,
9 Whanne Y settide a cloude the hilyng therof, and Y wlappide it with derknesse, as with clothis of yong childhed.
lapho ngimisa iyezi laba yisembatho salo, lomnyama onzima waba yimbeleko yalo?
10 Y cumpasside it with my termes, and Y settide a barre, and doris;
Njalo ngaluqumela isimiso, ngamisa imigoqo lezivalo,
11 and Y seide, `Til hidur thou schalt come, and thou schalt not go forth ferthere; and here thou schalt breke togidere thi bolnynge wawis.
ngathi: Uzafika kuze kube lapha, kodwa ungedluli, lalapha kuzamelana lokuzigqaja kwamagagasi akho.
