Amavesi eBhayibheli adumile avela kokuthi UJobe 2

Dlulisela

Umkakhe wayesethi kuye: “Usabambelele yini ebumsulweni bakho na? Thuka uNkulunkulu, ufe.” Kepha uJobe wathi kuye: “Ukhulumisa okowesifazane oyisiwula. Siyakwamukela okuhle kuphela yini kuNkulunkulu, asiyukwamukela yini nokubi na?” Kukho konke lokho uJobe akonanga ngomlomo wakhe.

Wayesethi uSimakade kuSathane: “Inhliziyo yakho iyiqaphele yini inceku yami uJobe na? Akekho onjengaye emhlabeni, umuntu ongenasici, oqotho, owesaba uNkulunkulu, ogwema okubi, osabambelele ebumsulweni bakhe noma ungibelesela ukuba ngimelane naye, ngimbhubhise engenacala.”

USimakade wayesethi kuSathane: “Kulungile-ke, ngimnikela esandleni sakho, kodwa ungalinge uthinte umphefumulo wakhe.”

Kwathi ukuba abangani abathathu bakaJobe bezwe ngakho konke okubi okwakumehlele, bafika njengokuvumelana kwabo ukuzomkhalela nokumduduza, yilowo nalowo esuka endaweni yakhe: u-Elifazi umThemani, uBhilidadi umShuhi, noZofari umNahama. Kuthe besebuqamama baphakamisa amehlo abo, kodwa abambonanga ukuthi nguye; badazuluka bakhala, kwayilowo nalowo waklebhula ingubo yakhe, bazithela amakhanda ngothuli beluphonsa phezulu. Bahlala naye emhlabathini izinsuku eziyisikhombisa nobusuku obuyisikhombisa, bengasho lutho kuye, ngokuba babona ukuthi wayesebuhlungwini obukhulu kakhulu.
