Jobho 9:1-35
9 UJobho wathi:
2 “Ngiyazi ukuthi lokhu kuliqiniso.
Alo umuntu* angaba njani ngolungileko phambi kwakaZimu?+
3 Nange kuba nomuntu ofuna ukuphikisana naye,+Angeze aphendula ngitjho nombuzo munye emibuzwenakhe eyikulungwana.
4 Uhlakaniphile begodu unamandla.+
Ngubani ongajamelana naye begodu angalimali?+
5 Ususa iintaba begodu abantu abakulemuki lokho;Ngelaka lakhe ugubuda iintabezo.
6 Wenza iphasi lisikinyeke,Bona iinsekelo zalo zidengezele.+
7 Utjela ilanga bona lingakhanyi
Usitha nomkhanyo weenkwekwezi;+
8 Wendlala izulu libe njengetjhila,+Ukhamba phezu kwamagagasi amakhulu welwandle.+
9 Wenze iinkwekwezi ezibizwa ngokuthi yi-Atjhi,* ezibizwa ngokuthi yiKhesili,* ezibizwa ngokuthi yiKhimarha,*+Neenkwekwezi zesewula;*
10 Wenza izinto ezikulu nezingazwisiseki,+Nezinto ezinengi khulu ezikarisako.+
11 Udlula phambi kwami kodwana angimboni;Ukhamba phambi kwami kodwana angimlemuki.
12 Nakathatha into, ngubani ongamvimba?
Ngubani ongambuza athi, ‘Wenzani?+
13 UZimu angeze avalela ilaka lakhe;+Ngitjho nabasizi bakaRarhabu*+ bazokuguqa phambi kwakhe.
14 Kangangani-ke nakuzakufuze ngimphenduleNangizakuphikisana naye kufuze ngikhethe amagamami kuhle!
15 Ngitjho nanyana ngingaba msulwa, angeze ngimphendule.+
Engingakubawa kumahlulelami* mumusa kwaphela.
16 Nange ngingambiza, uzangiphendula na?
Angikholwa nokuthi uzalilalela ilizwi lami,
17 Ngombana ungimadlha ngesiwuruwuruWandisa nomtlhagwami ngaphandle kwesizathu.+
18 Akangivumeli bona ngidose umoya;Begodu uhlala angandisela ubuhlungu.
19 Nakuziwa endabeni yamandla, unguSomandla.+
Nakuziwa endabeni yobulungiswa, uthi: ‘Ngubani ongangibeka umlandu?’
20 Nanyana ngingaba msulwa, umlomami uzangibeka umlandu;Ngitjho nanyana ngingathembeka, uzakuthi ngimlandu.
21 Ngitjho nanyana ngingathembeka, angazi bona kuzokwenzekani ngami;Ngiyakunyenya ukuphila kwami.
22 Koke kuyafana, kungebangelo ngithi,‘Utjhabalalisa olungileko nokhohlakeleko ngendlela efanako.’
23 Nange isirhurhula esifika ngokuphazima kwelihlo sibulala abantu bangakayeleli,Uzomhleka olungileko nakambona anganathemba.
24 Iphasi linikelwe abantu abakhohlakeleko;+Uvala amehlo* wabahluleli balo.
Nange kungasinguye, alo ngubani?
25 Amalangami agijima ukudlula isithunywa;+Ayagijima begodu akaboni okuhle.
26 Agijima njengesikepe somhlanga,Njengekhozi nalehla liyokubamba inyamazana.
27 Nange ngingathi, ‘Ngizokulibala ubuhlungu bami,Angeze ngisabonakala ukuthi ngidanile kunalokho ngizokuthaba,’
28 Ngisazokuba nevalo ngebanga labo boke ubuhlungu bami,+Ngiyazi ukuthi angeze wathi ngimsulwa.
29 Ngisazokufunyanwa ngimlandu.
Alo kubayini kufuze ngitlhagele ilize?+
30 Nange ngingahlamba ngamanzi wegabhogo,Ngihlanze nezandla zami ngamanzi anomlotha,+
31 Uzongiphosela ngemgodini,Kangangokuthi nezambatho zami zizonginyenya.
32 Bengingamphendula kodwana akasimumuntu njengami,Engingamusa ekhotho.+
33 Akekho ozakuba mlamuli phakathi kwethu,Nozaba ngumahlulelethu.
34 Nakangalisa ukungibetha*Alise nokwenza izinto zakhe ezithusako zingibethise ivalo,+
35 Ngizakukhuluma naye ngingabi nevalo,Ngombana angisimumuntu okhuluma ngokusaba.
