Jobe 16:1-22
16 Jobe waphendvula watsi:
2 “Sengive tintfo letinyenti letifana naleti.
Kunekutsi ningidvudvute, ningivisa buhlungu lobukhulu!+
3 Kantsi angeke aphele yini lamavi lalite?*
Yini lenenta nikhulume ngalendlela?
4 Nami bengingakhuluma njengani.
Kube benehlelwe nguloku lokungehlele,Bengitawusho tintfo letinyenti letimelene naniFutsi nginikine inhloko yami ngekunedzelela.+
5 Kodvwa kunekutsi ngente njalo, bengitanicinisa ngemavi laphuma emlonyeni wami,Futsi emavi lamnandzi lebengitawasho bekatanidvudvuta.+
6 Nangikhuluma, buhlungu bami abupheli,+Futsi ngisho ngiyekela kukhuluma, buhlungu bami buchubeka bukhona.
7 Kodvwa nyalo Nkulunkulu ungente ngaphelelwa ngemandla;+Uhlasele wonkhe umndeni wami.*
8 Uyangibamba, nebantfu bayakubona loko,Kangangekutsi kondza kwami sekubufakazi lobumelene nami.
9 Intfukutselo yakhe ingidzabule ngaba ticucu, futsi uyangenyanya.+
Uyatfukutsela* nakangibona.
Sitsa sami singibuka kabi.+
10 Titsa tami tivule imilomo kuze tingimite,+Tangidzabula ngetimphama etihlatsini tingedzelela,Tibutsene taba sicumbi kuze tingihlasele.+
11 Nkulunkulu uvumele kutsi ngihlaselwe bafanyana,Futsi ungifucele etandleni talababi.+
12 Kute lebekungikhatsata, kodvwa yena wangivisa buhlungu lobukhulu;+Ungibambile futsi wacindzetela inhloko yami phansi ngelunyawo lwakhe;Butjoki bakhe ubucondzise kimi.
13 Bantfu bakhe labasebentisa butjoki bangitungeletile;+Ugwaza tinso tami+ futsi angabi nandzaba;Inyongo yami uyicitsela phansi emhlabatsini.
14 Nginjengelubondza loluchubeka lubhotjoswa timbobo;Yena ugijimela kimi njengelisotja.
15 Sengitfunge indvwangu yelisaka kute ngiyembatse,+Ngitiva ngiphansi futsi sengite emandla kangangekutsi sengihleti elutfulini.+
16 Buso bami sebuze bubovu ngenca yekukhala,+Futsi emehlo ami ambonywe bumnyama.*
17 Kodvwa tandla tami atikalimati muntfuFutsi nemthantazo wami ucotfo.
18 Awu mhlaba, ungayimbonyi ingati yami!+
Shengatsi kukhala kwami kungete kwathuliswa ngumuntfu!
19 Fakazi wami usemazulwini;Loyo longangifakazela usendzaweni lephakeme.
20 Bangani bami bahlekisa ngami+Njengobe ngikhala tinyembeti kuNkulunkulu.*+
21 Akube khona lowehlulela emkhatsini wami naNkulunkulu,Njengobe kungaba njalo nasemkhatsini wemuntfu nemngani wakhe.+
22 Ngobe imbalwa iminyaka leseyisele,Futsi ngitawuhamba ngingaphindzi ngibuye.+
