Jobe 20:1-29
20 Sofari+ umNama waphendvula watsi:
2 “Ngihlushwa yimicabango yami, manje sekutsi angikhulumeNgobe sengicansuke kakhulu.
3 Ngikuve ungisola ngemavi layinhlamba;Futsi ngibona ngatsi kufanele ngikuphendvule.
4 Ngiyaciniseka kutsi uyakwati loku lengitakutjela kona,Ngobe bekusolo kunjalo kusukela kwadalwa umuntfu,*+
5 Kutsi umuntfu lowenta lokubi ujabula sikhashanaNekutfokota kwalomubi* kusheshe kuphele.+
6 Ngisho nobe bukhulu bakhe bungenyukela ezulwiniNenhloko yakhe ifike emafini,
7 Utawunyamalala kuze kube phakadze njengemangcoliso akhe;Bantfu lebebavame kumbona batawutsi: ‘Uphi?’
8 Batawusheshe bamkhohlwe, njengobe kuba njalo nangeliphupho;Utawunyamalala njengembono wasebusuku.
9 Liso lelike lambona, angeke liphindze limbone,Nendzawo yakhe angeke aphindze ahlale kuyo.+
10 Bantfwabakhe batawucela lusito kulabeswele,Netandla takhe titawubuyisela umcebo lawutsatsa kulabanye bantfu.+
11 Ematsambo akhe asecine njengasebusheni bakhe,Kodvwa utawubuyela elutfulini.
12 Kuye, kwenta lokubi kufanana nekudla lokumnandzi,Ukubeka ngephansi kwelulwimi lwakhe kute kuncibilike,
13 Ukugcina emlonyeni wakheAkuhlalise khona, achubeke eva bunandzi bako,
14 Kodvwa kutsi kungefika esiswini sakhe, loku lokunongotelako kujike kumbabele;Kutawufanana nesihlungu setimfeti ngekhatsi kuye.
15 Umite umcebo, kodvwa utawuphindze awuhlante;Nkulunkulu utawukhipha esiswini sakhe.
16 Utawumunya sihlungu setimfeti;Alunywe libululu futsi limbulale.
17 Angeke aphindze alunatse lubisi futsi adle neluju,Lokugeleta njengemanti.
18 Tintfo latitsetse utawutijikisa angakatisebentisi;*Angeke ajabule ngemcebo lawutfole ngekutsenga nangekutsengisa.+
19 Ngobe ucindzetele labeswele futsi wabalahla;Nendlu langazange ayakhe uyitsetse ngenkhani.
20 Kodvwa angeke abe nekuthula;Nemcebo wakhe angeke umsite kutsi abaleke.
21 Kute nalokuncane lokusele langatitsatsela kona;Kungako angeke aphumelele sikhatsi lesidze.
22 Nasewumnyenti kakhulu umcebo wakhe, uhlale akhatsatekile;Tonkhe tintfo letimbi tita kuye.
23 Utawutsi nakagcwalisa sisu sakhe,Nkulunkulu* atfumele intfukutselo yakhe levutsako kuye,Tintfo letimbi titamehlela njengemvula.
24 Utsi nakabalekela tikhali tensimbi,Agwazwe yimicibisholo yebutjoki belitfusi.
25 Ukhipha umcibisholo lomgwaze emhlane,Akhiphe sikhali lesimanyatelako lesihlabe inyongo yakhe,Futsi ufikelwa kwesaba lokukhulu.+
26 Umcebo wakhe utawulahlelwa ebumnyameni lobukhulu;Yena utawushwabadzelwa ngumlilo longavutselwa ngumuntfu;Nobe ngubani lotawusindza ethendeni lakhe umelwe yinhlekelele.
27 Lizulu litasibeka ebaleni sono sakhe;Nemhlaba utawumelana naye.
28 Sikhukhula sitawukhukhula indlu yakhe;Kutawugeleta emanti lanemandla ngelilanga lentfukutselo yaNkulunkulu.*
29 Ngulesi-ke sabelo Nkulunkulu lasinika umuntfu lowenta lokubi,Lifa Nkulunkulu lambekele lona.”
