EkaJokobe 5

¹ Hambani manje nina bacebileyo, likhale nikhale ngosizi oluzayo phezu kwenu.

² Inotho yenu ibolile, nezingubo zenu zidliwe yizinundu.

³ Igolide lenu nesiliva kugqwalile; nokugqwala kwazo kuyakuba ngufakazi ngani, kudle inyama yenu njengomlilo. Niqongelele ingcebo ngezinsuku zokugcina.

⁴ Bhekani, inkokhelo yezisebenzi ezivune amasimu enu, eniyigodlile ngobuqili, iyakhala; nokukhala kwabavuniyo kungene ezindlebeni zeNkosi yamabandla.

⁵ Niphile ubumnandi emhlabeni, nizitika; nondlile izinhliziyo zenu njengasosukwini lokuhlaba.

⁶ Nimlahlile nambulala olungileyo; futhi akamelani nani.

⁷ Ngakho bekezelani, bazalwane, kuze kube sekufikeni kweNkosi. Bhekani, umlimi ulindela isithelo somhlaba esinqabileyo, uyabekezela ngaso, aze amukele imvula yokuqala neyamuva.

⁸ Bekezelani nani; niqinise izinhliziyo zenu, ngokuba ukufika kweNkosi kusondele.

⁹ Ningagqubuthelani, bazalwane, ukuze ningalahlwa; bhekani, umahluleli umi ngasemnyango.

¹⁰ Bazalwane bami, thathani abaprofethi abakhuluma egameni leNkosi, babe yisibonelo sokuhlupheka nokubekezela.

¹¹ Bheka, sithi babusisiwe abakhuthazelayo. Nizwile ngokubekezela kukaJobe, nibonile isiphetho seNkosi; ukuthi iNkosi inesihawu esikhulu, nesihawu.

¹² Kepha phezu kwakho konke, bazalwane bami, ningafungi, noma izulu, noma umhlaba, noma esinye isifungo; noCha wenu, cha; funa niwele ekwahlulelweni.

¹³ Ukhona yini phakathi kwenu ohluphekayo? akakhuleke. Ingabe kukhona okujabulisayo? makahube amahubo.

¹⁴ Kukhona ogulayo phakathi kwenu na? makabize amalunga ebandla; kabakhuleke phezu kwakhe, bamgcobe ngamafutha ebizweni leNkosi.

¹⁵ Umkhuleko wokukholwa uyakumsindisa ogulayo, iNkosi imvuse; uma enzile izono, uyakuthethelelwa.

¹⁶ Vumani izono omunye komunye, nikhulekelane ukuba niphulukiswe. Umkhuleko wolungileyo unamandla amakhulu.

¹⁷ U-Eliya wayengumuntu onemizwa efana neyethu, wakhuleka ngobuqotho ukuba lingani; futhi kalizange line emhlabeni iminyaka emithathu nezinyanga eziyisithupha.

¹⁸ Wabuye wakhuleka, izulu lanika imvula, nomhlaba wathela izithelo zawo.

¹⁹ Bazalwane, uma omunye kini eduka eqinisweni, omunye ambuyise;

²⁰ Mazi ukuthi obuyisa isoni ekudukeni kwendlela yaso uyakusindisa umphefumulo ekufeni, asibekele izono eziningi.
