UBhilidadi ukhuluma noJobho kokuthoma
1UBhilidadi umTjhurhi waphendula uJobho wathi:
2“Kuzabe kube nini ulokhu ukhuluma njalo?
Umlomakho ukhuluma ilize lakolize!
3UZimu uyahlanakezela ubulungiswa na?
OSabekako uyahlanakezela okulungileko na?
4Nakube abantwabakho bonile kuye,
ubanikele emandleni wesiphambeko sabo.
5Wena nawungafunisisa uZimu,
wenze isibawo sakho koSabekako,
6nakube umsulwa begodu ulungile,
ngambala yena uzakuphakamela kuwe,
abuyisele umuzi wakho esigeni.
7Nanyana isithomo sakho sibe sincani,
isiphetho sakho sizakuba sikhulu kwamambala.
8“Yeke, buza kabadala,
ubeke ihliziywakho efundisweni yaboyise,
9ngombana thina singebayizolo,
yeke abe akunanto esiyaziko
namalangethu ephasini asithunzi.
10Bona bazakufundisa, bakuhlahle,
bakuyale ngelwazi labo.
11“Incinini ingamila lapha kunganachibi na?
Umgaba ungahluma lapha kunganamanzi na?
12Kuzakuthi kungakaphalazi
begodu kungakasikwa nokusikwa,
kutjhwabe msinyana kunabo boke utjani.
13Zinjalo iindlela zaloyo okhohlwa uZimu,
irhuluphelo yonganaZimu iyatjhabalala.
14Ithemba lakhe linjengentambo yesiswebu
nesisekelo sakhe siyindlwana yeswebu.
15Naziyama ngekumbakhe, iyawa,
nayikakarelako, ayidzimeleli.
16Ufana nomgade omila endaweni enelanga,
onamahlumela anabela esivandeni.
17Imirajanawo irarela isiqorho,
ihlala hlangana namatje.
18Kodwana nawuruthulwako endawenawo,
indawo leyo ayitjho bona kwakhe kwamilani kiyo.
19Lokho kukukwenama kwepilwawo:
Equlwanenapho kuzakumila omunye.
20“UZimu akasoze alahle umuntu omsulwa
begodu angeze asekele abenza ubumbi.
21UZimu angazalisa umlomakho ngesihleko godu
neembhena zakho ngokuhlokoma.
22Labo abakuzondako bazakwembathwa mahloni
namatende wabakhohlakeleko atjhabalale.”
