Jobho 16:1-22
16 UJobho wathi:
2 “Ngizwe izinto ezinengi ezinjengalezi ngaphambilini.
Nina noke nibaduduzi abangakalungi!+
3 Amezwi angatjho litho la azakhe aphele na?
Elifazi, yini ekwenza uphendule ngendlela le?
4 Nami bengingakhuluma njengani.
Ngathana benisebujamweni bamobu,Bengingatjho izinto ezinengi ngokujamelene naniBenginikine ihloko nanginibonako.+
5 Kodwana kunokobana ngenze njalo, bengizoniqinisa ngamezwami,Induduzo yomlomami beyizokuletha ipumuzo.+
6 Nangikhulumako, ubuhlungu bami abubi ngcono,+Nangilisa ukukhuluma, ubuhlungu bami buzokuphunguleka kangangani?
7 Kodwana uZimu ungenze ngaphela amandla;+Utjhabalalise boke abahlala ngendlinami.
8 Ungenze ngatlhaga begodu abantu bayakwazi lokho,Njengombana ngondile abantu bacabanga bona ngimlandu.
9 Ilaka lakhe lingirathule ngaba ziintokana begodu ufukamele ihloyo ngami.+
Usilingeka khulu nakangibonako.
Inaba lami lingihlaba ngamehlwalo.+
10 Bavule imilomabo bona bangigomojele,+Begodu bangibethe emihlathini ngokungidelela;Babuthene bababanengi bona balwe nami.+
11 UZimu unginikele ezandleni zabesanyana,Begodu ungiphosele ezandleni zabakhohlakeleko.+
12 Bengingatshwenywa lilitho kodwana yena wangihlakaza;+Wangibamba ngentamo wangipitliza;Wangiqothela.
13 Abadumuzi bakhe bemisubela bayangibhoda;+
Ungihlaba iziso+ begodu akangirhawukeli;Uthululela inyongwami ehlabathini.
14 Ungibhoboza njengeboda alibhoboza ngokubuyelelweko;Ugijimela kimi njengengorho.
15 Ngimbethe izambatho zokuzila,+Ngibulunge isithunzi sami ehlabathini.+
16 Ubuso bami bube bomvu ngebanga lokulila,+
Namehlwami abe mnyama,
17 Nanyana izandla zami zingakhenge zenze inturhuNomthandazwami umsulwa.
18 Wena phasi, ungafihli iingazi zami!+
Isililo sami asingathuliswa!
19 Ngitjho nanje, ufakazami usezulwini;Ufakazami useendaweni eziphakemeko.
20 Abangani bami bangihleke ubudlhadlha+Amehlwami aqale kuZimu, awanabuthongo.+
21 Akube nomlamuli phakathi kwami noZimu,Njengombana kunomlamuli phakathi komuntu nomuntu wekhabo.+
22 Angekhe ngiphile isikhathi eside,Ngizokukhamba, angekhe ngibuye.+
