UYOBI 37

1“Kuthi ke kwakuba njalo isuke igubhe intliziyo yam, ixhume endaweni yayo.

2Khanikuve ukuzongoma kwelizwi lakhe,

niphulaphule ukungqokola okuphuma emlonyeni wakhe.

3Utshawuzisa imibane esibhakabhakeni,

ayithumele eziphelweni zehlabathi.

4Ikhatshwa kukududuma kwelizwi lakhe,

lizongoma ngezwi lobungangamsha bakhe.

Xa avakalisa izwi lakhe

kuba zizabhokhwe zombane ezingathintelekiyo.

5Ewe, uThixo wenza imimangaliso ngezwi lakhe,

utsho ngezinto ezinkulu esingenako ukuziqonda.

6Uthi kwikhephu: ‘Yiwa emhlabeni;’

kwimikhwitsho yemvula athi: ‘Yenza izandyondyo zomvimbi.’

7Ke bona abantu batsho bayeke ukusebenza;

kaloku ngoku nguye osebenzayo.

8Iinyamakazi zitsho zingene emingxunyeni yazo,

zizimele apho ezikhundleni zazo.

9Iinkqwithela ziphuma endaweni yazo,

imimoya enamandla ize nengqele.

10UThixo uthi angaphefumla amanzi atsho abe ngumkhenkce,

ububanzi bawo buqine bukhenkcezeke.

11Kanti wona amafu uwahlohl' ukufuma,

aze awahlwayele imibane.

12Kaloku nguThixo owalawulayo,

atsho enze eyakhe imiyalelo kulo lonke elimiweyo.

13Unethisa imvula emhlabeni;

kanti isenokuba sisibetho ebantwini,

kwanjengokuba isenokuba ngumqondiso wothando lwakhe.

14“Yobi, khawunqumame wondele,

ujonge imimangaliso kaThixo.

15Uyakwazi ukuhamba komyalelo kaThixo,

esithi umbane mawulenyeze emafini?

16Amafu la uthi ajinga kanjani esibhaka-bhakeni,

into emangalisayo engumsebenzi walowo unolwazi olugqibeleleyo?

17Uxakwa nje kukuzikhusela ngezambatho kwifuthe lolophu,

18ungathini ukufuna ukubambisana naye xa atwabulula isibhakabhaka,

esenza somelele okwesipili esityhidiweyo?

19“Khawutsho, uthi masithini ke kuThixo?

Kaloku kumnyama kuthi;

asinamhlaba wakuziphendulela!

20Uthi masicele ukuthetha naye!

Ngubani ongazibizela intshabalalo?

21Bekungekho bani unako ukubona ukukhanya;

ukuqaqamba kwako bekusithwe ngamafu,

kodwa kwakudlula umoya, kuthi qwenge.

22Emantla phaya ukukhanya busabugoliderha;

isihomo sikaThixo sisitsho sinkwantye ke thina.

23Amandla akhe amtsho angafikeleleki;

usulungekile, ebalasele ngobulungisa;

akukho bani amcinezelayo.

24Ngenxa yaloo nto ke, abantu bayamhlonela;

kambe ke zona izindwebi akazikhathalele.”

UYOBI 38

UNdikhoyo: Mna ndiza kubuza, wena ke uphendule

1Ke *uNdikhoyo waphendula esesaqhwithini, wathetha noYobi wathi:

2“Wena kuxa ungubani, ukuba ude ufune ukulenza mfiliba icebo lam?

Mazwi mani wona la, engenalwazi nje?

3Khawuqule, ume njengendoda;

mna ndiza kukubuza, wena ke uphendule.

4“Wawuphi xa ndiseka ihlabathi?

Yitsho kaloku, uyingqondi andithi?

5Ngubani owamisa ubungakanani balo?

Awunakungayazi loo nto!

Ngubani owalijikelezayo etsala intambo?

6Khona, zixhaswe yintoni iintsika zalo?

Ingubani owalimisela ilitye lesiseko?

7Ngaloo ntsasa iinkwenkwezi zamemelela,

izidwangube zakwaThixo zona zanemincili.

8Mhla lwagqabhuka ulwandle emhlabeni,

ngubani owalumisela imida?

9Kaloku ndim owalwambathisa ngamafu,

ndaza ndalusonga ngobumnyama.

10Ndim owalumisela imida,

ndalubiyela ndaluvalela endaweni yalo.

11Ndaluyalela ndathi:

‘Hamba, ungagqithi apha;

amaza akho adlokovayo makaphele apha.’

12“Ukhonje wakha wayiyalela intsasa yabakho?

Wakha wasikhombisa indawo yaso na isifingo?

13Nditsho umsobomvu okhanyisela iziphelo zehlabathi,

khon' ukuze izikhohlakali zingabi nakuzimela ebumnyameni.

14Kaloku ukusa kuzitsho ziphuhle iinduli neentili,

zibe ngathi yingubo ebikade isongene;

ewe, zitsho zicace oku kophawu olushicilelwe kumdongwe.

15Abakhohlakeleyo bayoyiswa kukukhanya;

kaloku ingalo yabo yokugonyamela yaphulwe.

16“Ngaba wakha wayibona imithombo yolwandle?

Sowukhe wathi cakatha ezintunjini zenzonzobila?

17Uwatyhilelwe na amasango okufa?

Wakha wakubona kwamnyama-ndawo?

18Khawutsho, lingakanani ihlabathi?

Phendula kaloku ukuba uyazazi ezi zinto!

19“Ungalixela apho likhoyo ikhaya lokukhanya?

Khona, wona umthombo wobumnyama uphi?

20Ezi zinto ungazibuyisela na endaweni yazo?

Khona, uyayazi na indlela esinga esikhundleni sazo?

21Awunakungazazi; kaloku wawuseluzelwe,

neminyaka yobomi bakho mininzi, ngabula wena!

22“Wakha wababona oovimba bam bekhephu?

Oovimba besichotho bona uyabazi?

23Ezi zinto ndizigcinele mhla kwanyembeleka;

ndizigcinele mhla kwathiwa ilizwe lifile.

24Uyayazi na indlela eya apho kuvela khona ukukhanya?

Uthini umoya wasempuma ukusasazeka phezu kwehlabathi?

25Ngubani ovulela izandyondyo zemvula umjelo;

ingubani yena khona ovulela iindudumo indlela?

26Ngubani onisa imvula endle phaya?

Inethiswa ngubani imvula enkqantosini,

27ukuze ithobe unxano kumhlaba okhamisileyo,

kutsho kuthi rhwelele utyani?

28Kakade, imvula le yinto kabani;

ingubani yena uyise wombethe?

29Ke wona umkhenkce wakhawulwa ngubani;

ingubani yena umzali weqabaka?

30Kaloku amanzi ayaqina abe ngathi lilitye;

inzongo-nzongo yamanzi itsho ikhenkcezele.

31“Uthi ngaba unokuzidibanisa izilimela;

khona unako ukuwakhulula amakroza?

32Ungazilawula iinkwenkwezi namathuba azo,

nditsho oozibhere ngokunjalo namatakane azo?

33Uyayazi imithetho elawula ilanga nenyanga neenkwenkwezi?

Unganako ukumisela impembelelo yazo emhlabeni?

34“Unganako ukuliphakamisela emafini ilizwi lakho,

khon' ukuze akugubungele ngezantyala-ntyala zemvula?

35Ngaba unganako ukuyithuma imibane?

Ngaba ingavuma ithi: ‘Ndiyaya’?

36Ngubani oyazisayo intsikizi ngemvula,

ingubani oxelela umqhagi ngemini entsha?

37Sisiphi isilumko esinokubala amafu,

ingubani onokuqubuda iingqayi zamanzi zasemazulwini?

38Nditsho imvula ejika uthuli lube ludaka,

ke wona amagade atsho ancamathelane.

39“Unganako ukuzingelela imazi yengonyama?

Ungawahluthisa khona amathole engonyama,

40xa ahleli esikhundleni sawo,

okanye xa ancathame ngetyholo?

41Uthi ngubani owondla amahlungulu, xa amantshontsho awo akhala kuThixo,

ebhadula ngenxa yendlala?”

UYOBI 39

1“Ngaba uyalazi ixesha lokuzala kwamagogo asemaweni?

Wakha walibona na inxala xa lifikelwa yinimba yokuzala?

2Lithatha iinyanga ezingakanani lithwele,

lize lifike nini ke ixesha lokuzala kwalo?

3Uyalazi ukuba lingqengqa nini na ukuze libeke itakane lalo,

ibe ke ngokunjalo idlule intlungu yenimba?

4Amatakane alo akhulela ezindle ade omelele,

aze ke asuke emke angaze abe sabuya.

5“Iqwarha eli layithatha phi inkululeko?

Ngubani owalikhulula intambo ukuba libhadule?

6Ndim owalinikela ukuba lihlale entlango,

ikhaya lalo libe kuloo mathafa etyuwa.

7Isiphithi-phithi sasezixekweni yintlekisa kulo;

ngokunjalo nemikhwazo yombhexeshi aliyiva.

8Libhadula ezintabeni lifuna amadlelo,

lize limemethe naluphi na uhlaza elilufumanayo.

9“Uthi ungaze uyisebenzise inyathi?

Unganako ukuyivalela ebuhlanti?

10Uthi ungayirhintyela ulime ngayo;

mhlawumbi uyerhe entilini phaya?

11Uthi ingaze ikuncede ngamandla ayo;

ungawunikela kuyo umsebenzi wakho?

12Ngaba unganako ukuvuna ngayo?

Uthi ungabhula ngayo esandeni phaya?

13“Hayi ukufaneleka kwamaphiko enciniba!

Kambe ke iyagqweswa yingwamza ngokuphapha.

14Amaqanda ayo iwabeka emhlabeni iwashiye

ukuze ke afudunyezwe ngumhlaba lowo.

15Ayinaloyiko lokuba osuka anyathelwe,

okanye kuthi gqi inyamakazi iwakroboze.

16Ayinankathalo ngamantshontsho ayo, ngathi asingawayo;

ayivakalelwa kukubhanga kwemigudu yayo.

17UThixo uyivimbe ubulumko inciniba,

akayinika nokuyinika ingqiqo.

18Kambe ke yakuwathi naa amaphiko ayo ibaleka

iyalihleka ihashe nokhwele kulo.

19“Ngaba nguwe na owenze ihashe lomelela kangaka?

Nguwe owalivathisa ngeso singci siyakayaka?

20Nguwe olenze lanako ukuthi qakatha njengeenkumbi?

Nguwe olenze larhwaqelisa ngesandi somfutho walo?

21Ligxanya ngamandla ngaloo manqina alo xa lijikela entilini phaya,

selifunzele phakathi kwayiwayo!

22Kaloku lona alinadyudyu nantaka;

aliwazele nto umkhonto, alibuyi ngamva.

23Kaloku lo uphezu kwalo uxhob' uf' amacala;

oomikhonto noozincula ziyabengezela.

24Ngaloo manqina alo lisiphula umhlaba,

selingasakwazi ukuzibamba, lilindele ukuvakala kwexilongo.

25Lakuva umtyangampo wexilongo lithi: ‘Ngxatsho ke!’

ze lithi lisekude lé, libe seliqonda ukuba izwe lifile!

Kaloku liyabeva oomaqhuzu xa bayalelayo.

26“Ngaba bubulumko bakho na obunika ukhetshe ubuchule bokubhabha?

Nguwe omenza athi naa amaphiko abheke kwelasezantsi?

27Ngaba nguwe oyalela ixhalanga ukuba lintinge,

lakhe nendlu yalo emalenga-lengeni phaya?

28Kaloku lona lihlala kwiinkelekethe zamawa;

lizenzela inqaba kwiimfanta zamalenga-lenga.

29Lithi cwaa apho lilonga-longe ixhoba,

lize lilipopole noba selisekudeni.

30Amathole alo amfimfitha igazi;

nalapho zikhoyo izidumbu libutha khona ixhalanga.”

UYOBI 40

UNdikhoyo: Wena omangalela uThixo, phendula

1*UNdikhoyo uqhube wathi kuYobi:

2“Ngaba ufuna ukubambana noSomandla,

usalatha iimpazamo zakhe?

Wena omangalela uThixo, phendula.”

UYobi: Ndosuka ndiwuthunge umlomo

3Ke yena uYobi uphendule *uNdikhoyo wathi:

4“Xa kungokunje ndiyaqonda ukuba andinto yanto.

Ndingaba saphendula ndithini?

Kungokunje ndidl' imu.

5Ewe, ndithethe ndaphinda-phinda,

kambe ke ngoku ndosuka ndiwuthunge.”
