UJobe Uyaphendula

² “Sengezwa izinto ezinengi ezifana lalezi; lingabaduduzi ababi lina lonke!

³ Zizaphela nini inkulumo zokubhuda kwenu lokhu? Kuyini okulihluphayo laphikelela nje lidaza inkani?

⁴ Lami bengingakhuluma njengani aluba yini elisesikhundleni sami; ngabe ngikhupha inkulumo ezimnandi ngilisola ngize nginikine ikhanda lami.

⁵ Kodwa umlomo wami ngabe uyaliqinisa; induduzo yezindebe zami idedise inhlungu zenu.

⁶ Kodwa nxa ngikhuluma, ubuhlungu obukimi kabudedi; loba ngingaze ngithule, kabupheli.

⁷ Ngeqiniso, Nkulunkulu, usungiqede amandla; usuyitshabalalisile yonke imuli yami.

⁸ Usungibophile sekuyibo ubufakazi balokho; lokucikizeka kwami kuyakhula kungilahla.

⁹ UNkulunkulu uyanginxwanela angidlikize ngolaka lwakhe, angigedlele amazinyo; isitha sami singinyonkoloze ngamehlo ahlabayo.

¹⁰ Abantu bavula imilomo yabo bengihoza; bangimakala esihlathini bengihlambaza babambane bangihlanganyele.

¹¹ UNkulunkulu usenginikele ebantwini ababi wangiphosela ezandleni zezigangi.

¹² Konke kwakukuhle kimi, kodwa wangibhidliza; wangixhakalaza ngentamo wangichoboza. Usengenze ngaba yinto yakhe yokunenjwa;

¹³ abacibi bemtshoko bakhe bangihanqile. Ungiciba izinso zami engelazwelo achithele inyongo yami phansi.

¹⁴ Ungisukela njalonjalo; angidumele njengebutho.

¹⁵ Sengithungele isembatho sesaka emzimbeni wami ngathukuza ibunzi lami othulini.

¹⁶ Ubuso bami sebubomvu ngokukhala, amathunzi anzima ahonqolozela amehlo ami;

¹⁷ kodwa izandla zami kaziluqhelanga udlakela, lomkhuleko wami uhlanzekile.

¹⁸ Awu mhlaba, ungaligqibeli igazi lami; sengathi lokukhala kwami kungaze kwacitshwa lanini!

¹⁹ Lakhathesi ufakazi wami usezulwini; umeli wami uphezulu khonale.

²⁰ Umeli wami ngumngane wami nxa amehlo ami empompoza inyembezi kuNkulunkulu;

²¹ uyamncengela umuntu kuNkulunkulu njengomuntu encengela umngane wakhe.

²² Kusasele iminyakana engemingaki andubana ngiye lapho kungabuywa khona.”
