UJobho uphendula uBhilidadi
1UJobho waphendula wathi:
2“Maye, umsize kangangani obogabogako!
Wanceda ingalo enganamandla!
3Wanikela ongakahlakaniphi iseluleko!
Wazisa okungaveza imiphumela emihle!
4Ngubani okufundise amezwi lawo?
Uwakhulume ngommoya kabani?
5Iintsitsirimba zithuthumela ekuzikeni kwelwandle,
iye, amanzi nokukiwo kuyazamazama.
6Indawo yabafileko yembulekile kuZimu,
indawo yokubhujiswa isepepeneneni.
7Wendlala isibhakabhaka esingetlhagwini
njengetende elinganansika,
alembelelise umhlaba phezu kwelize.
8Uphuthela amanzi ngamafu wakhona,
kodwana amafu lawo akaphadlhuki.
9Wembesa ilingaphambili lesihlalo sakhe sobukhosi,
aqhise amafu phambi kwaso.
10Uthala isiyingi somkayi ebusweni bamanzi,
sibe mkhawulo okude wepelamehlo
phakathi kobumnyama nokukhanya.
11Iinsekelo zamazulu zihlengezele,
zethuswe kukhalima kwakhe.
12Ngamandlakhe wathulisa ilwandle,
ngekghono lakhe waphihliza uRahabu.
13Iye, isandla sakhe sahlaba inyoka etjhelelako,
ngokuphefumula kwakhe umkayi wacweba.
14Lokhu seziinquqwana zomsebenzakhe;
amahlebezi ngaye siwazwela kude.
Ngubani ongazwisisa umdumo wamandlakhe?”
