UJobe 16

₂“Ngizwile izinto eziningi ezinjalo;

nina nonke ningabaduduzi ababi.

₃Amazwi angumoya nje awayikuphela yini?

Ucunulwa yintoni ukuba uphendule na?

₄Nami ngingakhuluma njengani;

uma imiphefumulo yenu ibisesikhundleni

somphefumulo wami,

bengiyakuhlanganisa amazwi ngani,

ngininikinele ikhanda lami.

₅Benginganiqinisa ngomlomo,

induduzo yezindebe zami inidambise.

₆“Noma ngikhuluma,

ubuhlungu bami abudanjiswanga;

noma ngiyeka,

kuyini okumuka kimi na?

₇Kepha manje ungikhathazile,

uyichithile yonke indlu yami.

₈Ungicindezele, kungubufakazi;

ukonda kwami kuyangivukela,

kufakaze ebusweni bami.

₉Ulaka lwakhe luyangidwengula,

lungizingele;

uyangigedlela amazinyo;

isitha sami singicijisela amehlo aso.

₁₀Bangikhamisela imilomo yabo,

bangimukula esihlathini ngenhlamba,

bangihlanganyela.

₁₁UNkulunkulu uyanginikela kubantu abonakeleyo,

angiphonse esandleni sababi.

₁₂Ngangihlezi kahle, wangichoboza;

wangibamba ngentamo,

wangiphahlaza;

wangimisa ngibe yisigcibisholo.

₁₃Abacibishelayo bakhe bangihaqa;

uyaqhekeza izinso zami engenasihawu;

uchithela inyongo yami emhlabathini.

₁₄Uyangidiliza nokudiliza futhifuthi,

angidumele njengeqhawe.

₁₅“Ngithungile indwangu yamasaka phezu kwesikhumba sami.

ngingcolisile uphondo lwami othulini.

₁₆Ubuso bami bubomvu ngokukhala;

ezinkosheni zami kukhona ithunzi lokufa,

₁₇noma kungekho ubudlova ezandleni zami

nokukhuleka kwami kulungile.

₁₈Mhlaba, ungathukusi igazi lami;

ukukhala kwami makungabi nandawo.

₁₉Namanje bheka,

ufakazi wami usezulwini;

ummeli wami usezindaweni eziphakemeyo.

₂₀Abangane bami bayangiklolodela;

iso lami liphophoza izinyembezi kuNkulunkulu

₂₁ukuba amphikele umuntu kuNkulunkulu

nendodana yomuntu kumakhelwane wayo.

₂₂Ngokuba iyingcosana iminyaka eyakubalwa,

ngingakahambi indlela engingayikubuya kuyo.
