UJOBHO 34
34
U-Elihu ujama ekutheni uJobho unephoso
1U-Elihu wathatha wathi:
2“Lalelani amezwami nina nhlakaniphi,
bekani indlebe kimi nina zazi ndina.
3Mbala, indlebe izizinya amezwi
njengombana nelimu linandipha ukugoma.
4Asikhetheni thina lokho okulungileko,
siqunte ngokwethu lokho okuhle.
5Njengombana uJobho lo athe, ‘Ngimsulwa!
UZimu ungimuke ilungelo lami.
6Nanyana ngineqiniso nje,
ngibonwa njengomleyimala;
nanyana nginganamlandu,
umsubela okimi
ungibangele isilonda esingapholiko.’
7Mumuntu onjani ofana noJobho,
ozikholisa ngokunyefula uZimu
inga mumuntu osela amanzi na?
8Ukhozisana nabenza okumbi,
azihlanganise neenkhohlakali,
9ngombana uthi, ‘Akumsizi ngalitho umuntu
lokha nalinga ukujabulisa uZimu.’
10Yeke yeningilalele nina madoda anokwazi:
Kukude noZimu ukwenza okumbi,
kukude noSabekako ukwenza okuphambeneko.
11Unikela umuntu umvuzo ngokwezenzo zakhe,
amehlisele okukhambisana nokuziphatha kwakhe.
12Mbala, uZimu akenzi ubukhohlakali,
oSabekako akahlanakezeli ubulungiswa.
13Ngubani owambeka bona aphathe umhlaba?
Ngubani owambeka phezu kwelizwe loke?
14Nabegade angahlosa
ukuthatha ummoyakhe nomphefumulwakhe,
15koke okuphilako gade kuzakubhubha,
umuntu abuyele ethulini.
16“Nakube unelwazi wena Jobho,
lalela lokhu,
yelela amezwami!
17Ozonda ukulunga angabusa na?
Ungasola olungileko nonamandla ngokungalungi na?
18Nguye ongathi emakhosini, ‘Niziinrhwirirhwiri’,
bese athi emakhosaneni, ‘Niziinkhohlakali’,
19ongakhethi ubuso beenkhulu,
ongabeki abanothileko phambi kwabadududu
ngombana boke bamsebenzi wezandla zakhe.
20Msinyana bayabhubha,
ngokurhabileko abanjingileko bayadlula banyamalale,
abanamandla bayasuswa kungengasandla somuntu.
21Amehlwakhe aseendleleni zabantu,
ubona amagadangwabo woke.
22Akunandawo emnyama,
ngitjho nobumnyama obunzima tshu,
lapha abenza okumbi bangabhaca khona.
23UZimu akadingi ukubeka isikhathi
sokobana umuntu avele phambi kwakhe ebandla.
24Ngaphandle kokubuza, ususa abanamandla,
ajamise abanye eenkhundleni zabo,
25ngombana uyelela izenzo zabo.
Msinyana angabehlisela ihlekelele bese bayabhubha.
26Ubahlunguphazela ukukhohlakala kwabo,
emtarini babonwe mumuntu woke.
27Umphumela wokuhlubuka kwabo
nokungayeleli iindlela zakhe,
28kukukobana isililo sodududu sizwakala kuye,
begodu uzwa isililo sabagandelelweko.
29Lokha uZimu nathulileko,
ngubani ongamsola ngokungalungi?
Nange afihla ubuso bakhe,
ngubani ongamkhalimela?
Yena ulawula izizwe nomuntu ngamunye
30ukuze onganaZimu angabusi,
angabi sisifu ebantwini.
31Akhe sithi umuntu onjalo uthi kuZimu,
‘Nginomlandu, nokho angeze bengisona;
32ngizakuyelela, yewungifundise,
nakube ngiphosisile, angeze bengisathoma.’
33Alo, utjho bona uZimu ahlunguphaze onjalo
ngebanga lokobana wena umlahlile na?
Nguwe owenze isiqunto elinjalo, ingasi mina!
Nje-ke, veza umbonwakho ndoda!
34Amadoda anelwazi azakuvumelana nami,
iye, indoda ehlakaniphileko izakuthi kimi,
35‘UJobho ukhuluma anganalwazi,
amagamakhe akakavuthwa.’
36“Madoda! Kwangathi uJobho lo angahlala ahlolisiswa,
ngombana iimpendulo zakhe ngezabantu abakhohlakeleko.
37Uthi anezono angezelele ngokuba lihlubuka,
uthintitha izandla ngokunyefula phakathi kwethwapha,
abe namagama amdlulako kuZimu.”
