UJobe 6

6 ¹UJobe waphendula wathi: ²“Sengathi ubuhlungu bami bungakalwa, nenhlekelele yami yonke ibekwe ndawonye esikalini! ³Ngempela bebuyakusinda kunesihlabathi solwandle—yikho amazwi ami ebengamawala. ⁴Ngokuba imicibisholo kaSomandla isekimi; umoya wami uphuza ubuthi bayo; izesabiso zikaNkulunkulu zihlelwe ukumelana nami. ⁵Imbongolo yasendle iyakhala yini lapho inotshani bayo, noma inkabi ibhonge lapho inokudla kwayo? ⁶Ukudla okungenambitho kuyadliwa yini kungenaswayi, noma kukhona yini ukunambitheka emhluzini wemifino yasendle? ^a a v6 Umfino wasendle uhlobo lwesitshalo esimila sodwa; umhluzi wawo onamanzi wawuduma ungenambitho — umfanekiso wokudla okungaphilisi futhi okungakhangi. ⁷Umphefumulo wami uyenqaba ukuthinta lokhu; izinto ezinjalo ziwukudla okunengayo kimi. ⁸O, sengathi isicelo sami singavunywa, ukuba uNkulunkulu anginike lokho engikulangazelelayo, ⁹ukuba uNkulunkulu avume ukungichoboza, akhulule isandla sakhe anginqume! ¹⁰Lokhu bekuyoba yinduduzo yami— bengiyoqhakaza ngenjabulo ngisho nasebuhlungwini obungenasihe—ukuthi angiwaphikanga amazwi oNgcwele. ¹¹Yimaphi amandla enginawo, ukuze ngiqhubeke nokuthemba? Yisiphi isiphetho esingilindele, ukuze ngibekezele? ¹²Amandla ami angamandla amatshe yini? Inyama yami yenziwe ngethusi yini? ¹³Alukho yini usizo nhlobo kimi, njengoba ukuhlakanipha okuqinile sekususiwe kimi? ¹⁴Noma ngubani ogodla umusa kumngane wakhe ulahla ukwesaba uSomandla. ¹⁵Kodwa abafowethu bayakhohlisa njengomfudlana wasogwadule, njengemisele yemifula echichimayo bese iyoma, ¹⁶efiphazwe yiqhwa elincibilikayo, ekhukhumele ngeqhwa elifihlakele, ¹⁷kodwa ngesikhathi sokoma iyacima; lapho kufika ukushisa, iyanyamalala endaweni yayo. ¹⁸Izindwendwe zabahambi ziphambuka ezindleleni zazo; ziyenyukela ehlane bese ziyabhubha. ¹⁹Izindwendwe zaseThema zifuna amanzi; abahambi baseSheba bawathemba. ²⁰Bayahlazeka ngoba babethembile; bafika endaweni bese bedumala. ²¹Manje nani seniyize; nibona into eyesabekayo bese niyesaba. ²²Ngake ngasho yini ukuthi, ‘Nginikeni okuthile’? Noma, ‘Ngikhokheleni isifumbathiso ngengcebo yenu’? ²³Noma, ‘Ngophuleni esandleni sesitha’? Noma, ‘Ngihlengeni ekubanjweni kwabanonya’? ²⁴Ngifundiseni, ngizothula; ngikhombiseni lapho ngiphambuke khona. ²⁵Yeka ubuhlungu bamazwi aqotho! Kodwa ukusola kwenu kufakazelani ngempela? ²⁶Nifuna ukulungisa amazwi nje yini, niphathe inkulumo yomuntu ophelelwe yithemba njengomoya? ²⁷Ningaze niphosele intandane inkatho, nithengise ngomngane wenu siqu. ²⁸Kodwa manje, ake nibheke kimi—angisoze ngaqamba amanga ebusweni benu. ²⁹Buyelani emuva, ngiyanincenga; akungabi khona okungalungile. Buyelani emuva—ukulunga kwami kusemile. ³⁰Kukhona yini okubi olimini lwami? Umlomo wami awukwazi yini ukwahlukanisa okubhubhisayo?”
