UThixo Uyakhuluma
1 UThixo wasekhuluma loJobe ephakathi kwesiphepho. Wathi:
2 “Ngubani na lowo odunga amacebo ami
ngamazwi okungazi?
3 Qina njengendoda;
ngizakubuza,
lawe uzangiphendula.
4 Wawungaphi lapho ngibeka izisekelo zomhlaba na?
Ngitshela nxa uqedisisa.
5 Ngubani owamisa izilinganiso zawo na? Phela angithi uyazi!
Ngubani owayidonsayo intambo yokulinganisa kuwo na?
6 Izinsika zawo zamiswa phezu kwani na,
loba ngubani owamisa ilitshe lawo lekhoneni na
7 lapho izinkanyezi zokusa zazihlabelela kanyekanye
lezingilosi zonke zamemeza ngentokozo?
8 Ngubani owavalela ulwandle ngemva kwezivalo
lapho selufohla esiswini na,
9 lapho ngisenza amayezi aba yisembatho salo na
ngalugoqela ngomnyama omkhulu,
10 lapho ngalubekela imikhawulo
ngamisa iminyango yalo lemigoqo endaweni yayo,
11 lapho engathi, ‘Ungeza uze ufike lapha kodwa ungedluli;
kulapha amagagasi akho azigqajayo aphelela khona?’
12 Sewake wabekela ikuseni umthetho na,
loba watshengisa ukusa indawo yakho
13 ukuba kuphakamise umhlaba ngemiphetho
kuthintithe ababi abakuwo?
14 Umhlaba ubumbeka isimo njengebumba ufakwe uphawu;
imibala yawo ikhanye ithi bha njengelembu.
15 Ababi bayacitshelwa ukukhanya,
lengalo yabo ephakanyisiweyo iyephulwa.
16 Sewake wahamba emithonjeni yolwandle na
loba wahamba ezingoxweni zenziki yalo na?
17 Amasango okufa aseke abonakaliswa kuwe na?
Usuke wawabona amasango ethunzi lokufa na?
18 Ubuqedisisile na ubukhulu bobubanzi bomhlaba?
Ngitshela nxa ukwazi konke lokhu.
19 Yiphi indlela eya ekhaya elihlala ukukhanya na?
Ubumnyama bona buhlala ngaphi?
20 Ungakusa ezindaweni zakho na?
Uyazazi izindlela eziya emizini yazo na?
21 Ye uyakwazi, ngoba wawuvele usuzelwe!
Usuphile iminyaka yonke le!
22 Sewake wangena eziphaleni zikangqwaqwane
loba wabona iziphala zesiqhotho na,
23 engizilindisele izikhathi zohlupho,
insuku zempi lokuhlasela na?
24 Ingaphi indlela eya esigodlweni sokwaba umbane,
loba indawo yokuhlakaza umoya wempumalanga phezu komhlaba na?
25 Ngubani ogubhe intshukuntshu yezihlambo zezulu,
lendlela yomdumo wesiphepho;
26 ukuthelezela ilizwe elingahlali muntu,
inkangala okungelamuntu kuyo,
27 ukusuthisa ilizwe elilugwadule
kulenze lihlume utshani na?
28 Izulu elinayo liloyise na?
Ngubani onguyise wamathonsi amazolo na?
29 Ngesikabani isisu esizala iliqhwa na?
Ngubani ozala umtshazo ovela phezulu na
30 lapho amanzi abalukhuni njengelitshe,
lapho iphezulu yolwandle ijiyile?
31 Ungasibopha na isiLimela lesi esihle?
Ungazithukulula yini izintambo zeziNja?
32 Ungawuletha na uMthala ngesikhathi sawo
loba ukhuphe inkanyezi ethiwa yiNgulube lemidlwane yayo?
33 Uyayazi imithetho yasezulwini na?
Ungawakha yini umbuso kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni?
34 Ungawamemeza yini amayezi
uthi akunethise ngesihlambo samanzi?
35 Uyakuthuma yini ukuphazima kombane?
Uyabika kuwe yini uthi, ‘Ngilapha’?
36 Ngubani owapha inhliziyo ukuhlakanipha
kumbe owapha ingqondo ukuzwisisa na?
37 Ngubani ololwazi lokubala amayezi na?
Ngubani ongagenqula amaqhaga asezulwini na
38 nxa uthuli seluqina
lamagade omhlabathi esebumbene?
39 Uyasizingelela na isilwanekazi ukudla kwaso,
uyiqede indlala yezilwane
40 lapho zilele ezikhundleni zazo
kumbe zicwathile ezixukwini?
41 Ngubani opha iwabayi ukudla
lapho amatsiyane alo ekhala kuNkulunkulu
ezulazula ehayila ngendlala na?”
