U-Elihu Uqhubeka Ekhuluma
1 “Khathesi-ke, Jobe, lalela amazwi ami;
lalelisisa konke engikutshoyo.
2 Sengizawuvula umlomo wami;
amazwi ami asesolimini lwami.
3 Amazwi ami aphuma enhliziyweni eqotho;
izindebe zami zikhuluma ngokukholwa lokho engikwaziyo.
4 UMoya kaNkulunkulu wangenza;
umphefumulo kaSomandla ungipha impilo.
5 Ngiphendula nxa usenelisa;
zilungiselele ukuthi ungiphikise.
6 Lami nginjengawe phambi kukaNkulunkulu;
lami njalo ngathathwa emhlabathini.
7 Ukungesaba kwakho makungakwethusi,
njalo isandla sami masingasindi kuwe.
8 Kodwa ukhulumile ngisizwa,
ngiwezwile amazwi wona kanye,
9 ‘Ngimsulwa njalo kangilasono;
ngihlanzekile kangilamlandu.
10 Ikanti uNkulunkulu ubone okusolekayo kimi;
ungithatha njengesitha sakhe.
11 Uyazikhina inyawo zami ngezibopho;
uyaziqaphelisisa zonke izindlela zami.’
12 Kodwa ngiyakutshela ukuthi lapha uyalahleka,
uNkulunkulu mkhulu kulomuntu.
13 Kungani umsola
usithi kaphenduli amazwi omuntu na?
14 Ngempela uNkulunkulu uyakhuluma,
khathesi akhulume ngale indlela,
aphinde akhulume ngenye
lokuba umuntu angaze akunanzelela.
15 Kungaba ngephupho, kube ngombono ebusuku
lapho abantu belele befile
bethe nya emibhedeni yabo,
16 angakhuluma ezindlebeni zabo,
abethuse ngezixwayiso,
17 ukuze aguqule umuntu ekwenzeni okubi
aqede ukuzikhukhumeza kwakhe,
18 ukulondoloza umphefumulo wakhe ungayi egodini,
lempilo yakhe ingabhubhi ngenkemba.
19 Loba umuntu angajeziswa ngobuhlungu esembhedeni wakhe,
langokuqaqamba okungathuliyo emathanjeni akhe,
20 aze ezwe umzimba wakhe usunengwa yikudla
lomoya wakhe usenyanya lokudla okumnandi kakhulu.
21 Inyama yakhe iyacikizeka iphele,
lamathambo akhe ayekade evaliwe abonakale egcekeni.
22 Umoya wakhe uyasondela egodini,
lempilo yakhe kuzo izithunywa zokufa.
23 Kodwa nxa kulengilosi eceleni kwakhe,
engumeli, eyodwa phakathi kwenkulungwane,
ukutshela umuntu okuyikho okumfaneleyo,
24 ukuba lomusa kuye isithi,
‘Mxolele angayingena egodini;
sengimzuzele inhlawulo yakhe yokumhlenga
25 bese inyama yakhe ivuselelwa njengeyomntwana;
iyavuselelwa ibe njengezinsukwini zobutsha bakhe.’
26 Uyakhuleka kuNkulunkulu amthokozele,
abubone ubuso bukaNkulunkulu amemeze ngentokozo;
uyabuyiselwa nguNkulunkulu esimeni sakhe sokulunga.
27 Kuthi-ke abesebuya ebantwini athi,
‘Ngenza isono, ngahlanekela okulungileyo,
kodwa kangisazuzanga obekungifanele.
28 Wawuhlenga umphefumulo wami ukuze ungayi egodini,
ngakho ngizaphila ukuze ngikholise ukukhanya.’
29 UNkulunkulu uyazenza zonke lezizinto emuntwini
kabili, noma kathathu
30 ukubuyisa umphefumulo wakhe ungayi egodini,
ukuthi isibane sokuphila sikhanye kuye.
31 Nanzelela, Jobe, ulalele kimi;
thula kukhulume mina.
32 Nxa ulolutho lokutsho, ngiphendula;
khuluma sibili, ngoba ngifuna ukuthi ugezwe umlandu.
33 Kodwa nxa lungekho lalela kimi;
thula zwi mina ngizakufundisa ukuhlakanipha.”
