UJobe 15 U-Elifazi ufuna ukwazi ukuthi kuwukuhlakanipha yini ukukhuluma njengoJobe

¹ Wayesephendula u-Elifazi umThemani, wathi:

² Umuntu ohlakaniphileyo angakhuluma ukwazi okuyize, agcwalise isisu sakhe ngomoya wasempumalanga, na?

³ Ingabe kufanele acabange ngenkulumo engenamsebenzi? kumbe ngamazwi angekhe enze lutho ngawo?

⁴ Yebo, uyakulahla ukwesaba, unqande ukukhuleka phambi kukaNkulunkulu.

⁵ Ngokuba ububi bakho bukhuluma ububi bakho, ukhetha ulimi lwabanobuqili.

⁶ Umlomo wakho uyakulahla, akumina; yebo, izindebe zakho ziyafakaza ngawe.

⁷ Ingabe ungowokuqala owazalwa? noma wenziwa zingakabi khona izintaba na?

⁸ Usuyizwile imfihlo kaNkulunkulu na? wena uzigcinele ukuhlakanipha na?

⁹ Wazini esingakwaziyo? niqondeni, okungekho kithi na?

¹⁰ Kithi kukhona izimpunga namaxhegu, amadala kunoyihlo.

¹¹ Zincane yini induduzo kaNkulunkulu kini? kukhona okuyimfihlo kuwe na?

¹² Inhliziyo yakho ikuthathelani na? lapho amehlo akho ecwayiza.

¹³ Uphendulela uNkulunkulu umoya wakho, ukhuphe amazwi anjalo emlonyeni wakho?

¹⁴ Uyini umuntu ukuba abe mhlophe? nozelwe ngowesifazane ukuba abe ngolungileyo na?

¹⁵ Bheka, akabethembi abangcwele bakhe; yebo, izulu alihlanzekile phambi kwamehlo akhe.

¹⁶ Kakhulu kangakanani onengeka nongcolile umuntu ophuza ububi njengamanzi?

¹⁷ Ngizokukhombisa, ngilalele; futhi engikubonile ngizokumemezela;

¹⁸ okwakhulunywa ngabahlakaniphileyo ngoyise kodwa kabakufihlanga;

¹⁹ Laphiwa bona kuphela umhlaba, njalo kakho owemzini owadabula phakathi kwabo.

²⁰ Omubi uzwa ubuhlungu zonke izinsuku zakhe, nenani leminyaka lifihlelwe umcindezeli.

²¹ Umsindo owesabekayo usezindlebeni zakhe;

²² Akakholwa ukuthi uyobuya ebumnyameni, futhi ulindelwe ngenkemba.

²³ Wazulazula efuna isinkwa, wathi: “Kuphi na?” uyazi ukuthi usuku lobumnyama selusondele esandleni sakhe.

²⁴ Usizi nosizi kuyomethusa; ziyakumkhukhumeza njengenkosi elungele ukulwa.

²⁵ Ngokuba welulela isandla sakhe kuNkulunkulu, aziqinise ngokumelene noMninimandla onke.

²⁶ Uyagijima phezu kwakhe, yebo, entanyeni yakhe, phezu koboya obuminyene bezihlangu zakhe.

²⁷ Ngoba umboza ubuso bakhe ngamanoni akhe, akhuluphale ezinhlangeni zakhe.

²⁸ Futhi uhlala emizini eyincithakalo nasezindlini ezingahlalwa, esezilungele ukuba yinqwaba.

²⁹ Ngeke acebe, futhi ingcebo yakhe ngeke ibe khona, futhi ngeke andise ukuphelela kwayo emhlabeni.

³⁰ Kayikusuka ebumnyameni; ilangabi liyomisa amagatsha akhe, futhi ngomoya womlomo wakhe uyomuka.

³¹ Okhohliswayo makangathembeli ezeni, ngokuba inzuzo yakhe iyize.

³² Uyoqedwa ngaphambi kwesikhathi sawo, futhi igatsha lawo ngeke libe luhlaza.

³³ Uyakuvuthulula izithelo zakhe zomvini ezingavuthwanga njengomvini, avuthulule imbali yakhe njengomnqumo.

³⁴ Ngokuba umhlangano wabazenzisi uyakuba yihlane, nomlilo uqede amatende okufumbathisa.

³⁵ Bakhulelwa ububi, bazale okuyize, isisu sabo silungisa inkohliso.
