< UJobe 26 >
1 UJobe wasephendula wathi:
2 “Usumsize njani ongelamandla! Usuyilamulele njani ingalo ebuthakathaka!
3 Yiseluleko esinjani osusiphe lowo ongelakuhlakanipha! Njalo usubonise mbono bani!
4 Ngubani okuncedisileyo ukukhuluma amazwi la na? Ngokabani umoya okhulume ngomlomo wakho na?
5 Abafileyo basebuhlungwini obukhulu, labo abangaphansi kwamanzi lalabo abahlala kuwo.
6 UKufa kwambulekile phambi kukaNkulunkulu; ikhamisile indawo yokubhubha. (Sheol )
7 Uyawendlala umkhathi wenyakatho endaweni engelalutho; aphanyeke umhlaba phezu kweze.
8 Ugoqele amanzi emayezini akhe, kodwa amayezi kawapatshaki yikusindwa ngamanzi.
9 Uyayigubuzela inyanga egcweleyo, endlale amayezi phezu kwayo.
10 Umisa umkhawulo wokwengama umkhathi emanzini kube ngumngcele phakathi kokukhanya lobumnyama.
11 Izinsika zamazulu ziyazamazama, zisethuswa yikukhuza kwakhe.
12 Ngamandla akhe waluthulisa ulwandle; ngenhlakanipho yakhe waquma uRahabi waba yiziqa.
13 Ngomoya wakhe umkhathi wacethula; isandla sakhe sayigwaza inyoka ibaleka.
14 Njalo le yimisebenzi yakhe engaphandle nje ekucineni; esikuzwayo yilizwana nje lokunyenyeza kwakhe! Pho ngubani ongawuzwisisa umdumo wamandla akhe na?”
