UJOBHO 36
36
1U-Elihu wangezelela wathi:
2“Akhe ningibekezelele kancani,
kunengi engingakutjho ukumela uZimu.
3Ilwazi enginalo libuya kudanyana,
ngizakhuluma ukulunga ngoMdalami.
4Ngambala, amezwami akasimamala,
nangumuntu onelwazi elipheleleko phakathi kwenu.
5Qalani, uZimu unamandla begodu akanyazi umuntu,
yena unamandla amakhulu ekuzwisiseni.
6Abakhohlakeleko akabagcini baphila,
kodwana umela abagandelelweko.
7Akawasusi amehlwakhe kabalungileko,
ubahlalisa namakhosi esihlalweni sawo;
bagcinekile begodu bayaphakanyiswa.
8Nakube abantu babotjhwe ngeenketani,
bakhungwa ngeentambo zobuhlungu,
9uZimu ubatjela lokho abakwenzileko,
ngitjho neemphambeko zabo
kobana banezenzo zelunya.
10Ubenza bayelele bonyana uyabakhalima,
abayale kobana baphenduke kokumbi.
11Nakube bayamlalela bebamlotjhe,
bazakuhlala emnonweni imihlabo yoke,
bakhombe ngophakathi iminyakabo yoke.
12Kodwana nakube abalaleli,
bazakubhubha ngomkhonto,
bafe ngokuswela ilwazi.
13AbanganaZimu ehliziyweni bakghubelela itukuthelwakhe,
abalileli isizo kuye lokha nababophako.
14Bafa basese batjha,
ipilwabo isathambile.
15UZimu usindisa ngobuhlungu abahlunguphaziweko,
iye, uvula iindlebe zabo ngegandelelo.
16“UZimu bekangakuphunyurhisa
hlangana nemihlathi yesizi,
akuse endaweni ebanzi.
Bekangagcwalisa isithebe sakho
ngeenkhanakhana zokudla godu.
17Kodwana wena ulungelwe sigwebo sesikhohlakali,
sewembethwe kugwetjwa kanye nokulunga.
18Umuntu kufuze atjheje angayengwa mnono,
angavumeli ukufunjathiswa okunengi kumphambukise.
19Idumo lakho belingalinganiswa negolide,
ngitjho nepahlakho yoke na?
20Ebusuku bewungakameli
ukutjhidisa abantu eendaweni zabo.
21Bewufanele utjheje, ungaphambukeli ekohlakalweni,
ngombana ngalokho uzizinywe yihlupheko.
22Nakube uZimu uziveza aphakeme emandlenakhe
ngubani ongafundisa njengaye na?
23Ngubani omkhokhela eendleleni zakhe,
namkha athi kuye, ‘Lapha utjhaphile’ na?
24“Khumbula ukudumisa imisebenzakhe,
abantu ababhina ngayo.
25Boke abantu bakubonile lokho,
obhubhako ukubukela akude.
26Maye uZimu mkhulu!
Ungaphezu kokwazi kwethu!
Inani leminyakakhe aliphenyeki.
27Wenyusa amathosi wamanzi,
awatsenge ekungwini kube lizulu,
28elehliselwa mamafu ehlabathini
nombethe okhithikela phezu kwabantu.
29Godu ngubani ongalemuka
bona amafu endlaleka njani
nokuduma kwesibhakabhaka sakhe na?
30Qala, uhlakaza umbanakhe phezulu,
ngawo embese amaphethelo welwandle.
31Ngezulu nangombani
ugweba abantu,
abe anikele ngokudla okunengi.
32Izandla zakhe zifumbethe umbani,
uyawuyala bona urarambe kuphi.
33Umdumo womkhosakhe uyambika,
itukuthelwakhe ilwa nokonakala.
