Jobho 24:1-25
24 “Kubayini uMninimandla Woke angabeki ilanga lakhe lokwahlulela okhohlakeleko?+
Kubayini labo abamaziko bangaliboni ilangelo?
2 Abantu batjhidisa iinkhonkhwani;+Beba izimvu bazifake emhlambinabo.
3 Bathumba udumbana weentandaniBathathe ikunzi yomhlolokazi njengesibambiso.+
4 Abavumeli abadududu bakhambe endleleni;Babenza babaleke ngebanga lokusaba.+
5 Abatlhagako bafuna ukudla emmangweni njengabodumbana+ bommango;Bafunela abantwababo ukudla erhalawumbeni.
6 Kufuze bavune kwenye isimu*Begodu baburuje esimini yamadiribe yokhohlakeleko.
7 Ubusuku boke bahlubule, abanazembatho;+Akunanto abangazimbesa ngayo emakhazeni.
8 Banethwa lizulu entabeni;Baphephela emadwaleni ngebanga lokungabi nesiphephelo.
9 Intandani iyahluthulwa emabeleni kanina;+Begodu izembatho zotlhagako ziyathathwa bona zibe sibambiso,+
10 Lokho kubakatelela bona bakhambe bahlubule banganazembatho,Begodu balambile njengombana baphethe abakuvunileko.
11 Basebenza budisi emibundwini hlangana namaboda wamatje emini ilanga lihlabile;*Bagadanga amadiribe bona benze iwayini, nanyana kunjalo bafile kukoma.+
12 Abahlongakalako bayaquma edorobheni;Abalimele khulu balilela isizo,+Kodwana uZimu akanandaba nalokho.*
13 Kunalabo abahlubuka ukukhanya;+Abangaboni iindlela zokukhanyokho,Nabangakhambi eendleleni zakho.
14 Umbulali uvuka ngamathathakusa;Arhayile ongasililitho notlhagako,+Ebusuku uyeba.
15 Ofebako* ulindela bona kuhlwe,+Uthi, ‘Akekho ozongibona!’+
Begodu ufihla nobuso bakhe.
16 Ebusuku amadoda aziinkhohlakali angena ngeendlini ebe;Kuthi emini azivalele ngeendlini zawo.
Awakwazi ukukhanya.+
17 Ukukhanya kwekuseni kuwathusa njengobumnyama obunzima tshu!
Awabusabi ubumnyama njengabanye abantu.
18 Kodwana akhukhulwa mamanzi msinyana.
Isabelo sawo senarheni sizokuqalekiswa.+
Angekhe asabuyela emasiminawo wamadiribe.
19 Njengalokha igabhogo elincibilikileko nalinyamalalako ngesikhathi sesomiso,Nalabo abonileko bazokunyamalala ngendlela efanako eThuneni!*+
20 Unina wabonileko uzobakhohlwa; bazokudliwa ziimbungu.
Angekhe basakhunjulwa.+
Begodu abangakalungi bazokuquntwa njengomuthi.
21 Umuntu okhohlakeleko utlhorisa inyumba,Begodu aphathe kumbi umhlolokazi.
22 UZimu uzokusebenzisa amandlakhe bona asuse abanamandla;Ngitjho nanyana bangaphakama, angekhe baragele phambili baphila.
23 UZimu ubavumela bona bazithembe begodu bazizwe bavikelekile,+Kodwana amehlwakhe aqale koke abakwenzako.+
24 Bazikhakhazisa isikhatjhana, ngemva kwalokho abasekho.+
Bayehliswa,+ bafe njengabo boke abantu;Baquntwa njengeenqwambi zekoroyi.
25 Nje-ke ngubani ongathi nginamalaNamkha ongaphikisana nelizwi lami?”
