Jobho 32:1-22
32 Nje-ke amadoda amathathu lawo alisa ukuphendulana noJobho ngombana uJobho bekazibona alunge khulu.+
2 Kodwana u-Elihu indodana kaBharakeli umBhuzi+ womndeni kaRamu wasilingeka khulu ngebanga lakaJobho ngombana ulinge ukuzenza olungileko kunoZimu.+
3 Wasilingeka ngebanga labangani bakaJobho abathathu ngombana babhalelwe kumphendula kuhle kunalokho basola uZimu.+
4 Ngebanga lokuthi amadoda la bewamakhulu kunaye, u-Elihu walinda ngaphambi kobana aphendule uJobho.+
5 Kuthe nakabona ukuthi amadoda amathathu la akunanto enetlha angayitjho kuJobho, kwathi akafe ngokusilingeka.
6 U-Elihu indodana kaBharakeli umBhuzi, wathi:
“Mina ngisesemutjha*Begodu nina nibadala.+
Nje-ke ngehlonipho ngizibambile,+Akhenge nginitjele engikwaziko.
7 Ngacabanga ngathi, ‘Akukhulume abantu abadala,Begodu labo abaphile isikhathi eside abaveze ukuhlakanipha kwabo.’
8 Kwamambala nguZimu onikela abantu ummoya ocwengileko,Begodu kuphefumula koMninimandla Woke okubenza bazwisise.+
9 Ubudala abumenzi umuntu ahlakaniphe,Begodu akusibabantu abadala kwaphela abazwisisa okulungileko.+
10 Nje-ke ngithi kuwe, ‘Akhungilalele,Nami ngizokutjela engikwaziko.’
11 Bengisolo ngilindele amezwenu;Bengisolo ngilalele indlela enicabanga ngayo+Nanisolo nifunana nezinto eningazitjho.+
12 Bengisolo ngilalelisise enikutjhoko,Begodu noke nje nibhalelwe kusola uJobhoNamkha niphendule amezwakhe.
13 Yeke ningazitjeli nithi, ‘Sifumene ukuhlakanipha;Akube nguZimu omlungisako, kungabi mumuntu.’
14 Amezwakhe akhenge awaqalisele kimi,Nje-ke angekhe ngimphendule ngalokho akutjhwileko.
15 Bararekile, abasakghoni ukuphendula;Akusekho okhunye abangakutjho.
16 Bengisolo ngilindile kodwana abasakghoni ukukhuluma;Sebajame kwaphela abasenapendulo.
17 Nje-ke nami ngizokuphendula;Ngizonitjela engikwaziko,
18 Ngombana kunengi engingakutjho;Ummoya ongaphakathi kwami uyangisunduza.
19 Amathumbami afana newayini elivalelekileko lingafumani umoya,Afana nemigodla yewayini efuna ukuthuthumba.+
20 Akhe ngikhulume bona ngikghone ukutjhaphuluka!
Ngizokuvula umlomami, ngiphendule.
21 Akunamuntu engizomkhethulula;+Namkha ngimtshime,
22 Ngombana angikwazi ukutshima;Ngathana bengikwazi, uMbumbami bekazongisusa khonokho.
