UJobe 30

1 Kodwa khathesi abatsha kulami ngensuku bayangihleka, oyise babo engangingabadelela ukubafaka lezinja zomhlambi wami.

2 Yebo, amandla ezandla zabo ayengaba yini kimi, ukuvuthwa kwabo sekuphelile?

3 Ngenswelo langendlala bajujukile, bangqathuze elizweni elomileyo, elalikade liyinkangala legwadule.

4 Abakha imibhida yetshwayi enkotheni, lempande yesihlahla serotemu iyikudla kwabo.

5 Baxotshwa phakathi kwabantu; bamemeza ngabo kungathi lisela;

6 ukuthi bahlale eliweni lezihotsha, imigodi yenhlabathi, lamadwala.

7 Bayakhonya phakathi kwenkotha, babuthane phansi kokhula.

8 Bangabantwana beziphukuphuku, yebo abantwana abangelabizo; betshaywa, bexotshwa emhlabeni.

9 Khathesi sengiyingoma yabo, sengiyisiga sabo.

10 Banengwa yimi, bamela khatshana lami; kabayekeli ukungikhafulela ebusweni ngamathe.

11 Ngoba ukhulule intambo yami, wangicindezela, ngakho balahle itomu phambi kwami.

12 Ngakwesokunene abatsha bayasukuma, bafuqa inyawo zami, bangivusela indlela zabo zokubhubhisa.

13 Badiliza indlela yami, bancedisa ukuqhubela phambili incithakalo yami, kabalamncedisi.

14 Beza kungathi bafohlela esikhaleni esibanzi; phakathi kwencithakalo batheleka.

15 Izesabiso ziphendukele phezu kwami; baxotshana lodumo lwami njengomoya, lempumelelo yami yedlula njengeyezi.

16 Khathesi-ke umphefumulo wami uyazithulula phezu kwami; insuku zosizi zingibambile.

17 Ubusuku bugwaza amathambo ami phakathi kwami, lokungingqathuzayo kakuphumuli.

18 Ngobunengi bamandla akhe isembatho sami siyaguqulwa; uyangibhinca njengesiphika sebhatshi lami.

19 Ungiphosele odakeni, senginjengothuli lomlotha.

20 Ngiyakhala kuwe, kodwa kawungiphenduli; ngiyasukuma, unginanzelele nje.

21 Usuphenduke waba lesihluku kimi; ngamandla esandla sakho umelana lami.

22 Ungiphakamisela emoyeni, ungigadise kuwo, ungincibilikisele kusiphepho.

23 Ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi uzangibuyisela ekufeni, lendlini emiselwe bonke abaphilayo.

24 Kodwa umuntu kayikwelulela isandla engcwabeni, kumbe encithakalweni yakhe akhalele usizo.

25 Kangimkhalelanga inyembezi yini owayelensuku ezilukhuni, umphefumulo wami wadabuka ngongumyanga?

26 Lapho ngilindele okuhle, kweza okubi; lapho ngilindele ukukhanya, kweza umnyama.

27 Imibilini yami yabila, kayithulanga, lensuku zosizi zingandulele.

28 Ngahamba ngilila, kungelalanga; ngasukuma ebandleni ngakhalela usizo.

29 Ngingumfowabo wemigobho, lomngane wezintshe.

30 Isikhumba sami simnyama phezu kwami, lamathambo ami atshile ngokutshisa.

31 Ichacho lami selibe yisililo, lomhlanga wami uyilizwi labakhala inyembezi.
