UJobe 5

8“Kodwa mina bengiyakumfuna uNkulunkulu;

kuNkulunkulu bengiyakubeka indaba yami,

9yena owenza izinto ezinkulu ezingaphenyekiyo,

izimangaliso ezingenakubalwa,

10yena onisa imvula emhlabeni,

athume amanzi ebusweni bamasimu,

11ukuze aphakamise abayizimpofana nabadabukileyo

baphakanyiselwe ukusindiswa.

12Uyachitha amacebo abanobuqili,

ukuze izandla zabo zingabi nakufeza umgomo wabo.

13Uyabamba abahlakaniphileyo ebuqilini babo;

isiluleko soyisigwegwe siyachithwa ngokuphuthuma.

14Emini bahlangana nobumnyama,

baphumputha emini njengasebusuku.

15Uyasindisa enkembeni yemilomo yabo,

yebo, abampofu esandleni sonamandla.

16Ompofu usenethemba;

ububi buvala umlomo wabo.

17“Bheka, ubusisiwe lowo muntu uNkulunkulu amlayayo;

ngalokho ungadeleli ukukhuzwa nguSomandla.

18Ngokuba uma ezwisa ubuhlungu,

ubuye abophe;

uyalimaza, kepha izandla zakhe zibuye zelaphe.

19Uyakophula ezinhluphekweni eziyisithupha;

yebo, nakweziyisikhombisa awuyikuthintwa ngokubi.

20Endlaleni uyakukuhlenga ekufeni

nasempini emandleni enkemba.

21Uyakufihlwa enkalivasini* yolimi;

awuyikwesaba lapho kufika ukuchitha.

22Uyakuhleka incithakalo nendlala,

nezilo zomhlaba awuyikuzesaba.

23Ngokuba unesivumelwano namatshe asendle;

izilo zasendle zihlalisana kahle nawe.

24Uyakwazi ukuthi itende lakho linokuthula;

uyakuhambela indlu yakho,

awuyikusilalelwa lutho.

25Uyakwazi ukuthi inzalo yakho iyakuba nkulu,

abantwana bakho babe njengotshani bomhlaba.

26Uyakufika ethuneni usuthi ngobudala

njengeqhinqa lamabele ngesikhathi salo.

27Bheka, lokho sikuphenyile; kunjalo;

kuzwe, uzazele khona.”

UJobe 6

UJobe uphendula inkulumo yokuqala ka-Elifazi: ukusinda kwenhlupheko kaJobe; ubulukhuni babangane bakhe

1Wayesephendula uJobe ethi:

2“Sengathi ukuncokolozwa kwami

ngabe kulinganiswe nokulinganiswa,

inhlupheko yami ibekwe esilinganisweni kanyekanye.

3Ngokuba manje iyasinda kunesihlabathi solwandle;

ngalokho amazwi ami ayengukubheda.

4Ngokuba imicibisholo kaSomandla ikimi;

isihlungu sayo siphuzwa ngumoya wami;

izesabiso zikaNkulunkulu ziyangehlela.

5Imbongolo yasendle iyakhala yini inotshani na?

Inkabi iyakhonya isekudleni kwayo na?

6Okudumayo kungadliwa ngaphandle kukasawoti na?

Kukhona ukuklwabusa kokumhlophe kweqanda na?

7Umphefumulo wami uyala ukukuthinta,

kungukudla okunengekayo kimi.

8“Sengathi isicelo sami singenziwa,

uNkulunkulu angiphe lokhu engikubhekayo.

9Yebo, sengathi uNkulunkulu angangichoboza,

athukulule isandla sakhe, anginqume.

10Lokho ngakube kuhlale kube yinduduzo yami,

yebo, ngabe ngijabule ebuhlungwini obungahawukeliyo

ukuthi angigodlanga amazwi oNgcwele.

11Ayini amandla ami ukuba ngingaze ngethembe na?

Ukuphela kwami kuyini ukuba ngingaze ngibekezele na?

12Pho, amandla ami angamandla amatshe yini?

Inyama yami iyithusi na?

13Akusikho yini ukuthi alukho usizo kimi;

ukusindiswa kususwa kimi.

14“Odangeleyo nga ehawukelwa ngumngane wakhe;

kepha ukumesaba uSomandla kuyayekwa.

15Abafowethu bambuluzile njengomfula,

njengemithonjana yemifula eshayo,

16emnyama ngeqhwa,

lapho ungqoqwane ezisitheza khona,

17kepha ngesikhathi sokufudumala inyamalale,

ishe endaweni yayo, lapho libalele.

18Abahamba ngezindlela zayo bayaphambuka,

benyukela oqwathuleni, babhubhe.

19Izihambi zakwaThema zabheka;

izindwendwe zakwaSheba zazihlalela.

20Zajabha, ngokuba zazibhekile;

sezifike khona zadana.

21Ngokuba kalokhu seniyize nje;

nibona okwesabisayo niyesaba.

22Ngasho yini ukuthi: ‘Ngipheni,

ninginike isipho empahleni yenu,’ na?

23noma: ‘Ngikhululeni esandleni sesitha,

ningihlenge esandleni sezidlova,’ na?

24“Ngifundiseni, khona ngiyakuthula mina,

ningiqondise lapho ngiduke khona.

25Ukukhuluma okuqotho kunamandla,

kepha ukusolwa nokusolwa yinina kusizani na?

26Nicabanga yini ukusola amazwi,

lokhu ukukhuluma kophelelwa ithemba kungumoya nje na?

27Yebo, nenza inkatho ngentandane,

nithengisa ngomngane wenu.

28Manje, qalani ukungibuka;

kuyakuba sobala,

uma ngiqamba amanga.

29Ake niphenduke,

kungabikho ukungalungi,

nibuye niphenduke;

indaba yami ilungile.

30Kukhona ukungalungi olimini lwami yini,

ulwanga lwami alunakuqonda okubi na?

UJobe 7

UJobe ukhala kuNkulunkulu ngobunzima bokuhamba komuntu

1“Umuntu akasempini yini emhlabeni,

imihla yakhe ayinjengemihla yomqashwa na?

2Njengenceku ekhefuzelela ithunzi,

nanjengomqashwa obheka umvuzo wakhe,

3kanjalo ngithole ifa lezinyanga zokubi;

ngimiselwe ubusuku bezinhlupheko.

4Lapho ngilala phansi,

ngisho ngithi:

‘Ngingavuka nini,’

ngokuba ubusuku bude;

ngigcwele ukubinyabinyeka kuze kuse.

5Inyama yami yembesiwe izimpethu namagade othuli;

isikhumba sami siyaphola,

sibuye sibhicike.

6“Imihla yami iyashesha kunesaluko,

iphela ingenathemba.

7Khumbula ukuthi ukuphila kwami kungumoya;

iso lami aliyikubuye libone okuhle.

8Iso longibonayo alisayikungibuka;

amehlo akho esekimi, angisekho.

9Ifu liphela lihamba;

kanjalo owehlele endaweni yabafileyo akasayikukhuphuka.

10Kasayikubuyela endlini yakhe;

indawo yakhe ayisayikumazi.

11“Ngalokho nami angiyikubamba

umlomo wami;

ngiyakukhuluma osizini lomoya wami,

ngikhale ngomunyu womphefumulo wami.

12Ngilulwandle yini,

ngingumkhomo yini,

ukuze ungibekele abalindi?

13Lapho ngithi umbhede wami uyakungiduduza,

ukhukho lwami lungithwalise ukukhala kwami,

14uyangesabisa ngamaphupho,

ungethusa ngemibono,

15ukuze umphefumulo wami ukhethe ukuklinywa

nokufa kunalawa mathambo ami.

16Ngiyanengwa yiwo;

mangingahlali njalo;

ngiyeke, ngokuba imihla yami iyize.

17Uyini umuntu ukuba umkhulise,

nokuba ubeke inhliziyo yakho kuye,

18nokuba umhambele ekuseni njalo,

umhlole njalonjalo, na?

19Koze kube nini uyeka ukungibheka na?

Ngiyeke, ngize ngiminze amathe ami.

20Noma ngonile,

ngenzeni kuwe mlindi wabantu na?

Ungimiseleni ngibe yisigcibisholo sakho,

ngize ngibe ngumthwalo nakimi, na?

21Awuthetheleli ngani isiphambeko sami,

ususe isono sami, na?

Ngokuba manje ngiyakulala phansi othulini;

uyakungifunisisa, kepha angiyikubakho.”

UJobe 8

Inkulumo yokuqala kaBilidadi: isandla sikaNkulunkulu sishaya ababi; abalungileyo bayasindiswa

1Wayesethatha uBilidadi umShuhi, wathi:

2“Koze kube nini ukhuluma lezi zinto,

amazwi akho abe ngumoya onamandla, na?

3UNkulunkulu uhlanekezela ukwahlulela yini?

USomandla uphendukezela ukulunga na?

4Uma abantwana bakho bonile kuye,

yena wabanikela emandleni ezono zabo,

5khona, uma wena ufunisisa uNkulunkulu,

unxuse kuye uSomandla,

6uma uhlambulukile, futhi ulungile,

khona yena uyakuvuka ngenxa yakho,

aphumelelise ikhaya lokulunga kwakho.

7Ukuqala kwakho sekuyakuba ngokuncane,

nokugcina kwakho kube ngokukhulu kakhulu.

8Ake ubuze ezizukulwaneni zakuqala,

uzibhekise lokho abakuphenyileyo oyise bazo,

9ngokuba thina singabezolo nje, asinalwazi,

lokhu imihla yethu emhlabeni iyithunzi;

10bona abayikukufundisa yini, bakutshele,

bakhiphe amazwi ezinhliziyweni zabo, na?

11Umhlanga ungahluma lapho kungekho xhaphozi na?

Incema ingamila kungekho manzi na?

12Uma iseluhlaza, ingakakhiwa,

iyabuna phambi kwabo bonke utshani.

13“Zinjalo izindlela zabo bonke abakhohlwa uNkulunkulu:

ithemba longenaNkulunkulu liyakuchitheka;

14ithemba lakhe liyakunqunywa,

nesisekelo sakhe siyindlu yolwembu.

15Uyakwencika endlini yakhe,

kepha ayiyikuma;

uyakubambelela kuyo,

kepha ayiyikuqina.

16Yena uluhlaza phambi kwelanga;

imixhantela yakhe iyaxhantela ensimini yakhe.

17Izimpande zakhe ziyathandela enqwabeni yamatshe,

aqhekeze indawo yamatshe.

18Uma echithwa endaweni yakhe,

iyakumala ngokuthi:

‘Angizange ngikubone.’

19Bheka, injalo indlela yokuthokoza kwakhe;

kuyakuvela abanye othulini.

20“UNkulunkulu akamlahli opheleleyo,

kabambi isandla sababi,

21aze agcwalise umlomo wakho ngokuhleka,

nezindebe zakho ngokumemeza.

22Abakuzondayo bayakwembeswa amahloni;

itende lababi aliyobe lisabakho.”

UJobe 9

UJobe uphendula inkulumo yokuqala kaBilidadi: uyahlushwa kungekho sizathu

1Wayesephendula uJobe ethi:

2“Ngeqiniso ngiyazi ukuthi kunjalo,

kepha umuntu angaba elungile phambi kukaNkulunkulu na?

3Uma efuna ukuthetha amacala naye,

angemphendule nakwelilodwa kwayinkulungwane.

4Ehlakaniphile enhliziyweni,

eqinile emandleni,

ngubani oziqinisele kuye, waphumelela,

5yena ogudluza izintaba ngokungazeleli,

ezigumbuqela ngentukuthelo yakhe;

6ozamazamisa umhlaba usuke endaweni yawo,

kuthuthumele izinsika zawo;

7oyala ilanga lingaphumi,

avalele izinkanyezi;

8oweneka izulu yedwa,

ahambe emazeni olwandle;

9owenza iBhere,* neMpambano,

nesiLimela,

namaKamelo aseningizimu;*

10owenza izinto ezinkulu ezingenakuhlolwa,

yebo, izimangaliso ezingenakubalwa.

11Bheka, uyangidlula, ngingaboni;

uyagudla, ngingezwa.

12Bheka, uyabamba;

ngubani ongamkhalima na?

Ngubani ongasho kuye ukuthi:

‘Wenzani na?’

13“UNkulunkulu akayikubuyisa intukuthelo yakhe;

phansi kwakhe bayakhothama abasizi bakaRahabi.

14Pho, mina ngingamphendula ngithini,

ngikhethe amazwi ami aqondene naye, na?

15Noma bengilungile,

bengingenakumphendula,

kepha nginxuse umahluleli wami.

16Uma bengimbizile abesengiphendula,

bengingayikukholwa nokho ukuthi

ubekile indlebe ezwini lami.

17Uyangilimaza ngesiphepho;

uyandisa amanxeba ami ngeze.

18Kavumi ukuba ngiphefumule,

kepha uyangigcwalisa ngomunyu.

19Uma kuyindaba yamandla,

nangu onawo;

uma yindaba yokwahlulela,

ngubani ongimemayo na?

20Noma ngilungile,

umlomo wami uyakungilahla;

noma ngingenacala,

uyakuthi ngonakele.

21Anginasici; anginakekeli umphefumulo wami;

anginanzi ukuphila kwami.

22Ukuphela kunye nje; ngalokho ngithi:

‘Uyaqeda ongenasici kanye nomubi.’

23Uma isiswebhu sibulala ngokuzumayo,

uyahleka ingozi yabangenacala.

24Umhlaba unikezwe esandleni sababi;

uyasibekela ubuso babahluleli bawo;

uma kungesiye, pho, ngubani na?
