Abathuthuzeli Abangathuthuzeliyo

UYobhi ubabiza ngabathuthuzeli abangathuthuzeliyo, athi naye angathetha ngokunjalo ukuba babetshintshelene iindawo. Uchaza uThixo njengegorha elimbambe entanyeni lammisa waba liteke. Kanti usabambelele ekubeni ingqina lakhe limi emazulwini.

Waphendula ke uYobhi wathi: “Ndizivile izinto ezininzi ezinje; ningabathuthuzeli abangathuthuzeliyo nonke. Akukho sanqamko na kuwo amazwi akho angumoya? Yintoni na ekuchukumisayo ukuba uqhubeke uphendule? Nam bendingathetha njengokuba usenza, ukuba beniyimani endaweni yam; bendingawathunga ndawonye amazwi nxamnye nani, ndininikinele intloko yam. Kodwa bendingakuxhasa ngomlomo wam, nentuthuzelo yemilebe yomlomo wam ibunciphise ubuhlungu bakho. Ukuba ndithethile, abunciphi ubuhlungu bam; nokuba ndithi cwaka, yintoni na emka kum? Inene ngoku uThixo undiphelisile amandla; ulichithile lonke ibandla lam. Undishwabanisile, kwaza oko kwaba lingqina; ukubhityiswa kwam kundivukela kundingqinele ebusweni bam. Umsindo wakhe undiqwengile, wandingxamela; undigedlele amazinyo akhe; utshaba lwam luwajolise amehlo alo kum. Amadoda andikhamisele imilomo yawo; andibethe esidleleni ngengcikivo; ahlanganisene nxamnye nam. UThixo uyandinikela kwabangalungisiyo, andiphosele enkohlakalweni yabangendawo. Bendisonwabile, waza wandiqhekeza; wandibamba entanyeni wandiphahlaza ndaba ngamaqhekeza; undimisele ndaba litekeni lakhe. Abatoli bakhe bandirhawule; uzicanda izintso zam engenanceba, aze aphalaze inyongo yam emhlabeni. Undaphula ngesibetho emva kwesibetho; undigxalathela njengegorha. Ndizithungele iingubo zokuzila phezu kolusu lwam, ndaza ndabeka ubuso bam eluthulini. Ubuso bam bubomvu kukulila, kwaye ithunzi elikhulu lisemehlweni am, nangona kungekho gonyamelo ezandleni zam, nomthandazo wam ucocekile. Mhlaba, uze ungaligqumi igazi lam, nesikhalo sam masingafumani ndawo yokuphumla. Nangoku, ingqina lam lisemazulwini, nommeli wam uphezulu. Abahlobo bam bayandigculela; iliso lam liphalaza iinyembezi kuThixo, ukuze alithethelele ityala lendoda phambi koThixo, njengonyana womntu emthethelela ummelwane wakhe. Kuba yiminyaka embalwa nje eya kudlula, ndaza ndandule ukuhamba ngendlela yokungabuyi.”
