UYOBI 40

UNdikhoyo: Ngaba nawe womelele njengoThixo?

6Ke *uNdikhoyo waphendula esesaqhwithini, wathetha noYobi wathi:

7“Khawuqule, ume njengendoda;

mna ndiza kukubuza, wena ke uphendule.

8“Ngaba ufuna ukusisingela phantsi isigwebo sam?

Ugweba mna ukuze wena ugwetyelwe?

9Ngaba nawe womelele njengoThixo?

Nelakho ilizwi lizongoma njengelakhe?

10Xa kunjalo ke khawuvele uveth' isidima uzimasekile;

khawuthi jize isihomo nesithozela.

11Khawuphokoze loo msindo wakho,

ubaphoxe abo bazigwagwisayo.

12Ewe, badilize abo baqholosayo;

ke zona izikhohlakali zinyhashele apho zikhoyo.

13Xa zizonke zibandakanye uzingcwabe;

zigqume zihlale kwelo labafileyo.

14Xa kunjalo ke ndiya kuvuma,

ndisithi unako ukuzisindisa ngawakho amandla.

15“Imvubu le uyayiqonda?

Njengawe nayo ndayidala;

phofu yona injengenkomo, itya ingca.

16Kambe ke, yeka – asimandla esinqeni sayo!

Yinto emzimba unemisipha engwanyalala!

17Yinto emsila ungqangqasholo okomsedare;

ke zona izihlunu zemilenze ziphindene.

18Amathambo ayo omelele njengobhedu;

ewe, afana nemivalo yentsimbi.

19Kuzo zonk' izidalwa ithe kratya ngokukhwankqisa;

nguMdali wayo yedwa onako ukuyoyisa.

20Ukutya kwayo kufumaneka ezintabeni phaya,

apho zidloba-dloba khona izilwanyana.

21Ungafika ingqengqe phantsi kwamatyholo akhula ngasemanzini,

okanye izimele ezingcongolweni, emgxobhozweni phaya.

22Ewe, iphumla emthunzini wamatyholo entlanjeni phaya,

ufike ijikelezwe yimingcunube.

23Yona ayiwoyiki umlambo ophuphumayo;

ithi zole nakwiJordan elatyuza amanzi de abethe emlonyeni wayo.

24Kodwa kodwa ngubani ongayihlaselayo?

Ngaba uqale wayityhaphaza?

Ngubani ongayithiyela ayithi qhoo ngaloo mpumlo?”

UYOBI 41

1“Uthi ungaze uyilobe ingwenya, okanye ubambe ulwimi lwayo ngentambo?

2Uthi ungaze uyifake intambo impumlo yayo,

mhlawumbi uyithi qhoo imihlathi ngegwegwe?

3Ucing' ukuba ingaze itarhuzise kuwe?

Uthi ingakukubongoza ngamazwi athambileyo?

4Uthi ingenza isivumelwano kunye nawe,

ithembise ukuba likhoboka lakho ngonaphakade?

5Ngaba ungayenza intaka ongadlalisa ngayo,

uyikhulekele amantombazana akho?

6Abarhwebi uthi bangarhweba ngayo?

Ucing' ukuba bangahlulelana ngayo?

7Isikhumba sayo ungasigqobhoza ngamagwegwe?

Mkhonto waphi ongangxwelerha intloko yayo?

8Khawuyichukumise nje – soz' uphinde!

Engak' imfazwe soz' uyilibale!

9Ngamampunge ukucinga ukuba ungayoyisa.

Umntu uthi nje akuyibona asuke avikiveke aphelelwe.

10Kungekho bani nje unesibindi sokuyiphazamisa,

ngubani ke ngoko onako ukumelana nam?

11Ukhona na onako ukubanga into kum ukuze ndimbuyisele?

Kaloku yonke into phantsi kwezulu yeyam.

12“Andinakuthi cwaka ngemilenze yayo;

makhe ndikuphokozele ngokomelela kwayo

nokufaneleka kokwakhiwa kwayo.

13Ngubani onokuyinyanzela ukuvula umlomo,

ingubani onokuyifaka umkhala?

14Ewe, ngubani ongavula loo mihlathi yayo

ijikelezwe ziingxavula ezoyikekayo zamazinyo?

15Umqolo wayo unoludwe lwamakhaka

aphotheneyo ngathi atywiniwe.

16Ewe, asondelelene ayimbumba;

phakathi kwawo akungeni nomoya.

17Hayi, anxibelelene angunonca,

abambene nkwa, akanakwahlukaniswa.

18Yintw' ethi yakuthimla kumenyeze,

emehlo ngathi lilanga liphuma.

19Yintw' emlomo ulatyuza amadangatye,

kutsho kutak' iintlantsi.

20Yintw' emarhanana alephuz' umsi,

oku kwembiza ebaselwe ngeengcongolo.

21Ngomphefumlo wayo ungáwuphemb' umlilo;

kaloku kuthaphuz' amadangatye kuloo mlomo.

22Yintw' etsho ngengwanyalala yesixhanti;

bakuyibona abantu suka barhwaqele.

23Izihlunu zayo zifumbene;

ziyingwanyalala engenakuhluthuzwa.

24Yintw' entliziyo iqine oku kwenyengane!

Yomelele oku kwelitye lokusila.

25Ithi ingaphakama kunkwantye neengangalala;

yakushukuma zisuka zithi phithi.

26Yona yomelele, ayinakungxwelerhwa

naziintshuntshe, oomikhonto, noozincula.

27Kuyo intsimbi ifana nomququ;

ke lona ubhedu nqwa nevithi.

28Okukokwalo utolo ayilwazele nto;

kuyo ilitye *lenkwitshi linkumnka ngathi sisabhunge.

29Ke lona ibhunguza lifana nodiza;

iincula ziyinto yentsini kuyo.

30Isisu sayo nqwa namaceba embiza;

umhlaba siwukrazula oku kwesileyi sokubhula.

31Amanzi enzonzobila iwatsho abile okwembiza,

ulwandle iluzama-zamise okweqhaga leziqholo.

32Emva kwayo ngumzila omenyezelayo emanzini.

Inzonzobila isuka ifane neenwele zengwevu.

33Ehlabathini akukho nto inokulinganiswa nayo,

nditsho isilo esingenabo ubugwala.

34Kaloku noozindlula-mthi izikrobile;

ewe, ingukumkani kwizilo zonke ezinyalasayo.”

UYOBI 42

UYobi: Ndiyazisola

1Ke kaloku uYobi uphendule *uNdikhoyo wenjenje:

2“Ewe, ngoku ndiyaqonda ukuba wena unako ukufeza konke;

konke okucebayo wena unako ukukwenza.

3Bendingubani ukufuna ukulenza mfiliba icebo lakho, ndingenalwazi nje?

Ngenene ndigabadele, ndithethiswa kukungaqondi;

ndithethe ngemimangaliso nezinto ezinkulu kunam.

4“Uthe kum: ‘Phulaphula,

mna ndiza kukubuza, wena ke uphendule.’

5Ngoko bendikwazi nje ngokuva ngeendlebe,

kambe ke ngoku ndikubonile ngala wam amehlo.

6Ngenxa yale nto ke ngoku ndiyazisola;

ewe, ndiyaguquka; ndiseluthulini naseluthuthwini.”

UNdikhoyo: UYobi uya kunithandazela

7Emva kwale ntetho *kaNdikhoyo noYobi uNdikhoyo ubhekise kuElifazi waseTema, wathi: “Umsindo wam uyavutha kuwe nakubahlobo bakho ababini, kuba anithethanga nto iyiyo ngam njengesicaka sam uYobi. 8Ngoko ke thathani iinkunzi zeenkomo ezisixhenxe, neenkunzi zeegusha ezikwasixhenxe, niye nazo kwisicaka sam uYobi, nizenzele idini elitshiswayo. Ke yena uYobi isicaka sam uya kunithandazela; ibe ke mna ndiya kuwamkela loo mthandazo wakhe, ndinganiphathi ngokobudenge benu. Kaloku nina anithethanga nto iyiyo ngam njengoko enzileyo yena uYobi isicaka sam.”

Isiphetho

9Ngenene ke uElifazi waseTeman noBhildadi waseShuwa noZofare waseNama benza ngokomlomo *kaNdikhoyo, waza ke yena wawamkela umthandazo kaYobi.

10Akuba ke uYobi ebathandazele abahlobo bakhe kuNdikhoyo, uNdikhoyo waphinda wambuyisela uYobi kundalashe. Ewe, ubutyebi bakhe wada wabuphinda-phinda. 11Abantakwabo noodade bakhe, ngokunjalo nâbo babemazi ngaphambili, beza, batya kunye naye emzini wakhe. Bavelana naye, bamkhuza bemthuthuzela ngenxa yesithwakumbe awayebethwe ngaso nguNdikhoyo. Bonke ngabanye ngabanye bamnika imali nomsesane wegolide.

12Ke kaloku uNdikhoyo walithamsanqela ikamva likaYobi nangaphezu kokuba wayenzile kubomi bakhe bangaphambili. UYobi waba neshumi elinesine lamawaka eegusha, isithandathu samawaka eenkamela, amawaka amabini eenkabi zeenkomo newaka leedonki. 13Waphiwa isixhenxe soonyana neentombi zantathu. 14Eyokuqala yayinguJimayima, kweza uKeziya, eyesithathu ke yanguKeren-hapuka. 15Kulo lonke ihlabathi akukho ntombi yayifika kwezo ntombi zikaYobi ngobunzwakazi. Nazo ke uyise wazinika ilifa kwanjengabantakwazo.

16Emva koku ke uYobi wahlala iminyaka elikhulu elinamashumi amane. Ewe, wada wabona abazukulwana nabantwana babo kwada kwaya kuthi xhaxhe ngesesine isizukulwana. 17Ke kaloku uYobi wafa seleyingwevu, iminyaka selihambile.
