UJobe 41

41 ¹“Ungamdonsa yini uLeviyathani ngedobo, noma ucindezele ulimi lwakhe ngentambo? ^a a v1 ULeviyathani uyisilwane esikhulu solwandle esingenakuthanjiswa—umfanekiso wamandla okungekho muntu ongawabusa, kodwa uBaba wethu uwabamba kalula. ²Ungafaka yini intambo ekhaleni lakhe, noma ubhoboze umhlathi wakhe ngengwegwe? ³Uyakukunxusa kaningi na? Uyakukhuluma amazwi athambile kuwe na? ⁴Uyakwenza isivumelwano nawe, ukuba umthathe abe yinceku yakho kuze kube phakade na? ⁵Uyakudlala naye njengenyoni, noma umbophe ngentambo ngenxa yamantombazane akho na? ⁶Abahwebi bayakuthengisana ngaye na? Bayakumhlukaniselana phakathi kwabathengi na? ⁷Ungasigcwalisa yini isikhumba sakhe ngemicibisholo, noma ikhanda lakhe ngemikhonto yezinhlanzi? ⁸Beka isandla sakho phezu kwakhe; khumbula impi—ngeke uphinde ukwenze. ⁹Lonke ithemba lokumnqoba lingamanga; ukumbona nje kuyakukulahla phansi. ¹⁰Akekho onolaka ngokwanele ukuba amvuse. Pho ngubani ongema phambi kwami? ¹¹Ngubani oke wamelana nami, ukuze ngikhokhe kuye? Konke okungaphansi kwezulu lonke kungokwami. ^b b v11 UPhawuli uphinda leli vesi—akekho owake wapha uBaba wethu ukuze abe nesikweletu kuye; konke kuvele kungokwakhe (KwabaseRoma 11:35).

¹²“Ngeke ngithule ngamalunga akhe, amandla akhe amakhulu, noma isimo sakhe esihle. ¹³Ngubani ongahlubula isembatho sakhe sangaphandle, noma asondele kuye ngetomu eliphindwe kabili? ¹⁴Ngubani ongavula iminyango yobuso bakhe? Amazinyo akhe azungelezayo azungezwe uvalo. ¹⁵Umhlane wakhe uyimigqa yezihlangu, evalwe ngokuqinileyo kungathi ivalwe ngophawu. ¹⁶Enye iseduze kangaka kwenye kangangokuba kungadluli moya phakathi kwazo. ¹⁷Zihlangene enye nenye; zibambana zodwa, zingenakwahlukaniswa. ¹⁸Ukuthimula kwakhe kukhanyisa ukukhanya, namehlo akhe anjengezinkophe zokuntwela kokusa. ^c c v18 “Izinkophe zokuntwela kokusa” kungumfanekiso wesiHeberu wokubenyezela okubomvu kokukhanya kokuqala—amehlo akhe akhanya abe bomvu njengokuphuma kwelanga okuvuthayo. ¹⁹Emlonyeni wakhe kuphuma izibani ezivuthayo; kuqhashaza izinhlansi zomlilo. ²⁰Emakhaleni akhe kuphuma intuthu, kungathi isebhodweni elibilayo phezu kwemihlanga evuthayo. ²¹Umphefumulo wakhe ulumathisa amalahle, kanti ilangabi liqhashuka emlonyeni wakhe. ²²Amandla ahlala entanyeni yakhe, kanti ukwesabeka kuyagiya phambi kwakhe. ²³Imigoqo yenyama yakhe inamathelene, ibunjelwe kuye ngokuqinileyo, ingenakunyakaziswa. ²⁴Inhliziyo yakhe iqinile njengetshe, iqinile njengetshe lokusila elingaphansi. ²⁵Lapho esukuma, abanamandla bayesaba; ekudumeni kwakhe baphuthelwa yingqondo. ²⁶Noma inkemba imfinyelela kuye, ayibambi, kanjalo nomkhonto, nomcibisholo, noma isijula. ²⁷Ubala insimbi njengotshani, nethusi njengokhuni olubolileyo. ²⁸Umcibisholo ngeke umbalekise; kuye, amatshe endwayimane aphenduka izibi. ²⁹Izagila zibalwa njengezibi; uyahleka ekukhenkethekeni kwesijula. ³⁰Ingaphansi lakhe linjengezingcephu zebumba ezibukhali; welula njengesileji sokubhula phezu kodaka. ^d d v30 Isileji sokubhula kwakuyipulangwe elalinamatshe abukhali, lihudulwa phezu kokusanhlamvu—isisu sikaLeviyathani sishiya umkhondo ofanayo ogebhekileyo. ³¹Wenza ulwandle olujulileyo lubile njengebhodwe; uyaluphehla ulwandle njengembiza ephehla amafutha. ³²Ngemuva kwakhe ushiya umkhondo okhazimulayo; umuntu angacabanga ukuthi ulwandle olujulileyo selumile izinwele ezimhlophe. ³³Emhlabeni akukho okufana naye, isidalwa esadalwa singenakwesaba. ³⁴Ubukela phansi konke okuphakemeyo; uyinkosi phezu kwabo bonke abazidlayo.”
