Jobho 8:1-22
8 Ngemva kwalokho uBhilidadi+ umTjhurhi+ waphendula wathi:
2 “Kuzabe kube nini usolo ukhuluma ngendlela le?+
Amezwakho ayikulumo engatjho litho!*
3 Kghani uZimu uzokusebenzisa ubulungiswa ngendlela engasiyo,Namkha uMninimandla Woke uzokusebenzisa ukulunga ngendlela engasiyo?
4 Nangabe amadodanakho onile kuye,UZimu uwajezise ngebanga lokuvukela kwawo;
5 Kodwana wena nawungafuna uZimu+Ubawe uMninimandla Woke bona akurhawukele,
6 Nawumsulwa begodu ulungile,+Uzokutjheja*Uzokubuyisela indlwakho, abuyisele koke esigeni.
7 Ngitjho nanyana isithomo sakho besisincani,Ingomuso lakho lizokuba likhulu.+
8 Ngibawa ubuze isizukulwana saphambilini,Utjhejisise izinto ezafunyanwa boyise baso.+
9 Ngombana thina sibelethwe izolo, asazi litho,Amalangethu ephasini asithunzi.
10 Isizukulwanesi angeze na sakufundisa
Sakutjela esikwaziko?*
11 Kghani isitjalo sephaphirasi singakhula sibe side na, lapha kunganamanzi khona?
Umhlanga ungakhula ube mude ngaphandle kwamanzi?
12 Kuzakuthi sesitlhurhile begodu singakavunwa sitjhwabe,Sizokomelela msinyana ngaphambi kwezinye iintjalo.
13 Lo kuzokuba mphumela* wabo boke abalibala uZimu,Ngombana ithemba laloyo ongasabi uZimu* lizokutjhabalala,
14 AkasanathembaNgombana izinto ebekathembele kizo zibe njengendlu yesiswebu etjhatjalalisiweko.
15 Uzokusama ngendlwakhe kodwana angekhe isolo ijamile;Uzokulinga ukubambelela kiyo kodwana angekhe ijame unomphela.
16 Usitjalo esigcwele amanzi esiselangeni,Iimpande zaso zinabela esivandeni.+
17 Imirabhaso, irarela esiqorhweni samatje;Sifuna indlu hlangana namatje.
18 Kodwana nasiruthulwa endawenaso,Indawo leyo izosiphika ithi, ‘Angikwazi.’+
19 Sizokunyamalala njalo;+Bese kuvele ezinye iintjalo esikhundleni saso.
20 UZimu angeze abalahla abathembekileko;*Angeze asekele abantu abambi,
21 Uzokwenza uhleke
Begodu urhuwelele ngethabo godu.
22 Labo abakuhloyako bazokwembathiswa iinhloni,Netende labantu abambi angekhe lisaba khona.”
