< UJobe 33 >

1 Kube kanti-ke, Jobe, ake uzwe inkulumo zami, ubeke indlebe kuwo wonke amazwi ami.
“Khathesi-ke, Jobe, lalela amazwi ami; lalelisisa konke engikutshoyo.
2 Khangelani, sengivule umlomo wami, ulimi lwami lukhuluma emlonyeni wami.
Sengizawuvula umlomo wami; amazwi ami asesolimini lwami.
3 Amazwi ami angawokuqonda kwenhliziyo yami, azakhuluma ulwazi lwendebe zami ngokuhlanzeka.
Amazwi ami aphuma enhliziyweni eqotho; izindebe zami zikhuluma ngokukholwa lokho engikwaziyo.
4 UMoya kaNkulunkulu wangenza, lokuphefumula kukaSomandla kwanginika impilo.
UMoya kaNkulunkulu wangenza; umphefumulo kaSomandla ungipha impilo.
5 Uba ulakho ngiphendula; zihlele phambi kwami, uzimise.
Ngiphendula nxa usenelisa; zilungiselele ukuthi ungiphikise.
6 Khangela, nginjengawe kuNkulunkulu, lami ngathatshwa ebumbeni.
Lami nginjengawe phambi kukaNkulunkulu; lami njalo ngathathwa emhlabathini.
7 Khangela, ukwethusa kwami kungakwethusi, lesandla sami singabi nzima phezu kwakho.
Ukungesaba kwakho makungakwethusi, njalo isandla sami masingasindi kuwe.
8 Isibili ukhulume endlebeni zami, ngezwa ilizwi lamazwi, uthi:
Kodwa ukhulumile ngisizwa, ngiwezwile amazwi wona kanye,
9 Ngimsulwa, kangilasiphambeko, ngihlanzekile, njalo kakulabubi kimi.
‘Ngimsulwa njalo kangilasono; ngihlanzekile kangilamlandu.
10 Khangela, uthola amathuba okumelana lami, ungibala njengesitha sakhe.
Ikanti uNkulunkulu ubone okusolekayo kimi; ungithatha njengesitha sakhe.
11 Ufaka inyawo zami esigodweni, aqaphele zonke indlela zami.
Uyazikhina inyawo zami ngezibopho; uyaziqaphelisisa zonke izindlela zami.’
12 Khangela, kulokhu kawulunganga; ngizakuphendula, ngoba uNkulunkulu mkhulu kulomuntu.
Kodwa ngiyakutshela ukuthi lapha uyalahleka, uNkulunkulu mkhulu kulomuntu.
13 Umphikiselani? Ngoba engaphenduli leyodwa yezindaba zakhe.
Kungani umsola usithi kaphenduli amazwi omuntu na?
14 Ngoba uNkulunkulu ukhuluma kanye, yebo, kabili, engekho onanzayo.
Ngempela uNkulunkulu uyakhuluma, khathesi akhulume ngale indlela, aphinde akhulume ngenye lokuba umuntu angaze akunanzelela.
15 Ephutsheni, kumbono webusuku, lapho ubuthongo obunzima busehlela abantu, ekuwozeleni embhedeni;
Kungaba ngephupho, kube ngombono ebusuku lapho abantu belele befile bethe nya emibhedeni yabo,
16 abesesembula indlebe yabantu, aphawule ukuqondiswa kwabo;
angakhuluma ezindlebeni zabo, abethuse ngezixwayiso,
17 ukuze aphambule umuntu ekwenzenikwakhe, afihle ukuzigqaja emuntwini,
ukuze aguqule umuntu ekwenzeni okubi aqede ukuzikhukhumeza kwakhe,
18 anqande umphefumulo wakhe egodini, lempilo yakhe ekwedluleni ngenkemba.
ukulondoloza umphefumulo wakhe ungayi egodini, lempilo yakhe ingabhubhi ngenkemba.
19 Njalo ujeziswa ngobuhlungu embhedeni wakhe, langokuqaqamba kwamathambo akhe okungapheliyo,
Loba umuntu angajeziswa ngobuhlungu esembhedeni wakhe, langokuqaqamba okungathuliyo emathanjeni akhe,
20 ize impilo yakhe inengwe yisinkwa, lomphefumulo wakhe yikudla okuloyisekayo.
aze ezwe umzimba wakhe usunengwa yikudla lomoya wakhe usenyanya lokudla okumnandi kakhulu.
21 Inyama yakhe iyaphela, ingabonakali, lamathambo akhe abekade engabonakali avele.
Inyama yakhe iyacikizeka iphele, lamathambo akhe ayekade evaliwe abonakale egcekeni.
22 Lomphefumulo wakhe useduze legodi, lempilo yakhe kubabulali.
Umoya wakhe uyasondela egodini, lempilo yakhe kuzo izithunywa zokufa.
23 Uba kulesithunywa kanye laye, umlamuli, oyedwa phakathi kwenkulungwane, ukutshela umuntu ukuqonda kwakhe,
Kodwa nxa kulengilosi eceleni kwakhe, engumeli, eyodwa phakathi kwenkulungwane, ukutshela umuntu okuyikho okumfaneleyo,
24 uzakuba lomusa kuye athi: Mkhulule ekwehleleni egodini, sengithole inhlawulo.
ukuba lomusa kuye isithi, ‘Mxolele angayingena egodini; sengimzuzele inhlawulo yakhe yokumhlenga
25 Inyama yakhe izakuba ntsha okwedlula ubutsha; abuyele ensukwini zobutsha bakhe.
bese inyama yakhe ivuselelwa njengeyomntwana; iyavuselelwa ibe njengezinsukwini zobutsha bakhe.’
26 Akhuleke kuNkulunkulu, ozakuba lesisa kuye, abone ubuso bakhe ngentokozo; ngoba uzabuyisela emuntwini ukulunga kwakhe.
Uyakhuleka kuNkulunkulu amthokozele, abubone ubuso bukaNkulunkulu amemeze ngentokozo; uyabuyiselwa nguNkulunkulu esimeni sakhe sokulunga.
27 Ukhangela ebantwini athi: Ngonile, ngahlanekela okulungileyo, kodwa kakungisizanga.
Kuthi-ke abesebuya ebantwini athi, ‘Ngenza isono, ngahlanekela okulungileyo, kodwa kangisazuzanga obekungifanele.
28 Uhlengile umphefumulo wami ekwedluleni egodini, lempilo yami izabona ukukhanya.
Wawuhlenga umphefumulo wami ukuze ungayi egodini, ngakho ngizaphila ukuze ngikholise ukukhanya.’
29 Khangelani, lezizinto uNkulunkulu uyazenza ngomuntu kabili kumbe kathathu,
UNkulunkulu uyazenza zonke lezizinto emuntwini kabili, noma kathathu
30 ukuze abuyise umphefumulo wakhe egodini, ukuze akhanyiswe ngokukhanya kwabaphilayo.
ukubuyisa umphefumulo wakhe ungayi egodini, ukuthi isibane sokuphila sikhanye kuye.
31 Zwana, Jobe, ungilalele, uthule, njalo mina ngikhulume.
Nanzelela, Jobe, ulalele kimi; thula kukhulume mina.
32 Uba kulamazwi, ungiphendule; khuluma, ngoba ngifisa ukutshengisa ukuthi ulungile.
Nxa ulolutho lokutsho, ngiphendula; khuluma sibili, ngoba ngifuna ukuthi ugezwe umlandu.
33 Uba kungenjalo, wena ngilalela; thula, njalo ngizakufundisa inhlakanipho.
Kodwa nxa lungekho lalela kimi; thula zwi mina ngizakufundisa ukuhlakanipha.”
