UJobe 30

30 ¹"Kodwa manje abancane kunami bayangihleka—amadoda engangingayikuvuma ukubeka oyise nezinja zomhlambi wami. ²Wawungisiza ngani amandla ezandla zabo? Umfutho wabo wawusuphelile. ³Bebbonda ngenxa yobubha nendlala, baququda umhlabathi owomile ebumnyameni bencithakalo nokuchithwa. ⁴Bakha imifino yosawoti phakathi kwamahlathi, nezimpande zesihlahla somganu zaziwukudla kwabo. ^a a v4 Imifino yosawoti nezihlahla zomganu zizimila zasogwadule ezincane—ukudla kokugcina kwabantu abaswele impela. ⁵Baxoshwa phakathi kwabantu; abantu babememeza emva kwabo njengokumemeza isela. ⁶Kwakumelwe bahlale ezimfologweni zemifula eyomileyo, emigodini yomhlabathi nasemadwaleni. ⁷Phakathi kwamahlathi babehhonga; ngaphansi kwekhula babeqoqanela ndawonye. ⁸Inzalo eyisiwula engenagama, baxoshwa ezweni.

⁹"Manje sengibe yingoma yabo yokuklolodela; sengiyinhlekisa kubo. ¹⁰Bayanenga bagcine ibanga nami; abayekethisi ukungikhafulela ebusweni. ¹¹Ngokuba uNkulunkulu uthukulule intambo yomnsalo wami wangithobisa, sebelahle konke ukuzibamba phambi kwami. ¹²Ngakwesokunene kwami kuvukela isixuku; baludunduza unyawo lwami baphinde bakhe amafohlo abo okungihlasela encithakalweni. ¹³Badiliza indlela yami; bazuza enhlekeleleni yami, kungekho obanqandayo. ¹⁴Basondela njengokungathi badabula ngesikhala esibanzi; phakathi kokubhidlika bagingqika befika. ¹⁵Izinkemba zokwesaba zikhululelwe phezu kwami; udumo lwami luxoshwa njengomoya, nenhlanhla yami idlulile njengefu.

¹⁶"Manje impilo yami ithululekile ngaphakathi kwami; izinsuku zosizi zingibambile. ¹⁷Ebusuku amathambo ami ayagwazwa, nezinhlungu ezingququdayo azithuli nakancane. ¹⁸Ngamandla amakhulu ingubo yami isontekile; ingibopha iqine njengekhola lebhantshi lami. ¹⁹UBaba wethu ungiphonse odakeni, sengaba njengothuli nomlotha.

²⁰"Ngikhala kuwe ngicela usizo, kodwa awungiphenduli; ngiyasukuma, kodwa wena ungiqalaza nje. ²¹Usuphenduke waba nonya kimi; ngamandla esandla sakho uyangihlasela. ²²Uyangiphakamisela emoyeni ungenze ngigibele phezu kwawo; uyangiphonsaphonsa phakathi kokuhlokoma kwesiphepho. ²³Ngokuba ngiyazi ukuthi uyangehlisela ekufeni, endlini emiselwe bonke abaphilayo.

²⁴"Kodwa akukho yini oyelula isandla ezincithakalweni, noma akhale ecela usizo enhlekeleleni yakhe? ²⁵Angikhalanga yini ngalowo owayenosuku olunzima? Umphefumulo wami awudabukanga yini ngabaswele? ²⁶Kodwa lapho ngithemba okuhle, kwafika okubi; lapho ngilindele ukukhanya, kwehla ubumnyama. ²⁷Izibilini zami ziyaxokozela azithuli; izinsuku zosizi ziyangihlangabeza. ²⁸Ngihamba ngimnyama, kodwa hhayi ngenxa yelanga; ngisukuma ebandleni ngikhale ngicela usizo. ²⁹Sengibe ngumfowabo wezimpungushe nomngane wezintshe. ³⁰Isikhumba sami siba mnyama siyebuka kimi, namathambo ami ayasha ngomkhuhlane. ³¹Ihabhu lami lilungiselwe ukulila, nomtshingo wami ulungiselwe umsindo wokukhala."
