UJOBHO 33
33
1Nje-ke Jobho, akhe ulalele amezwami,
ulalelisise koke engikutjhoko.
2Qala, ngivula umlomami,
ilimu lami ngemlonyeni lifuna ukukhuluma.
3Amezwami avuthiweko azakuveza ubuqotho behliziywami,
umlomami ukhulume okumsulwa kwaphela.
4UMoya kaZimu uyangenzisa,
umphefumulo woSabekako ungenza ngikhulume.
5Ngiphendula-ke, nakube uyakghona,
zilungiselele uqalane nami.
6Phambi kwakaZimu sengizifanela nawe,
nami ngabunjwa ngomdaka.
7Ngalokho ukungesaba kungakwethusi,
nesandla sami singakudisibezi.
8“Kodwana ngikuzwe kuhle,
namezwakho ngisawezwa eendlebeni zami
lokha nawusithi,
9‘Ngihlanzekile, anginasiphambeko,
ngimsulwa, anginasono.
10Qala, uZimu uyangitjhijila,
ungithatha njengesitha sakhe.
11Ubophelela iinyawo zami ngesimbi esigodweni,
uqalisisa zoke iindlela zami.’
12Kodwana ngokutjho njalo kwakho, uphambukile.
Ipendulwami kilokho ithi,
‘UZimu mkhulu kunobhubhako.’
13Kubayini usolane naye,
uthi akaphenduli nalinye ilizwi lomuntu?
14Phela uZimu uyakhuluma,
kungaba ngalendlela namkha ngenye,
nanyana umuntu angakuboni lokho.
15Kungaba ngebhudango, umbono webusuku:
Lokha abantu nababanjwe buthongo,
barhona emikghadinabo,
16yena uvula iindlebe zabo,
abaphazamise ngeeyeleliso,
17ukuze atjhidise umuntu ekoneni kwakhe,
ahlunge ukuzitjhaya kuye,
18amphephise emlonyeni wethuna,
iye, ipilwakhe ekubhujisweni ngomkhonto.
19Godu umuntu angakhalinywa ngesihlabi asemkghadini,
okukuqaqamba kwamathambo okungapheliko,
20ihliziywakhe ithitjhelwe kugoma,
angabi nendeni emhlophe ngeenkhanakhana.
21Umzimbakhe uyawohloka angasaqaleka,
namathambakhe ebegade angabonakali,
abonakale avele ngaphandle.
22Umphefumulwakhe utjhidela ethuneni,
ipilwakhe ibandamela kabafileko.
23“Nakunengilozi yinye phakathi kwekulungwana
ebeyingamsekela, imkhulumele,
imemezele ukulunga ngaye,
24ibe nomusa kuye ithi,
‘Zimu, msindise emlonyeni wethuna,
ngimfumanele isihlengo’,
25umzimbakhe uzakwenziwa butjha
ube ngaphezu kwebutjheni bakhe
iye, uzakuphuluka ube namandla wobutjha.
26Uzakuthandaza kuZimu, uZimu amamukele,
uzazizwela ubukhona bakaZimu ngokuhlokoma,
uZimu abuyisele obhubhako esimeni sokulunga.
27Umuntu loyo uzakusuka
aye ebantwini athi,
‘Ngonile, ngahlanakezela okulungileko,
azange ngifumane okungifaneleko.
28UZimu uhlenge umphefumulwami ekufeni,
yeke ngizakuphila ngithokozele ukukhanya.’
29“UZimu wenzela umuntu koke lokhu,
kube kabili, bekube kathathu,
30abuyise umphefumulwakhe ekufeni,
ukuze umkhanyo wokuphila ukhanye kuye.
31Yelela-ke Jobho, ungilalelisise,
thula uthi du, ngikhulume.
32Nakube kunento ofuna ukuyitjho, ngiphendula,
khuluma ndoda,
ngombana ngifuna ukuvumelana nawe.
33Kodwana nakube akunalitho,
khona-ke yewungilalele,
thula uthi du, ngikufundise ukuhlakanipha.”
