UJobe 22 U-Elifazi umangalela uJobe

¹ Wayesephendula u-Elifazi umThemani, wathi:

² Umuntu angaba lusizo kuNkulunkulu, njengoba ohlakaniphileyo engaba usizo kuye?

³ Kuyamthokozisa yini uSomandla ukuthi ulungile? Kuyinzuzo yini kuye ukuthi wenze izindlela zakho ziphelele?

⁴ Ingabe uyokukhuza ngokwesaba ngenxa yakho? Uyakuya nawe ekwahlulelweni na?

⁵ Ububi bakho abubukhulu yini? nobubi benu bungapheli na?

⁶ Ngoba wathatha isibambiso kumfowenu ngesize, wahlubula abanqunu izigqoko zabo.

⁷ Okhatheleyo awumnikanga amanzi okuphuza, nabalambileyo ubagodle isinkwa.

⁸ Kepha umuntu onamandla, umhlaba; nomuntu ohloniphekile wahlala kulo.

⁹ Abafelokazi wabamukisa bengenalutho, nezingalo zezintandane zaphulwa.

¹⁰ Ngakho-ke izingibe zikuhanqile, uvalo oluzumayo luyakwethusa;

¹¹ Loba ubumnyama ongeke wabubona; futhi amanzi amaningi akusibekele.

¹² UNkulunkulu akakho yini endaweni ephakeme yezulu? futhi bheka ukuthi izinkanyezi ziphakeme kangakanani, ukuthi ziphakeme kangakanani!

¹³ Futhi nithi: UNkulunkulu ukwazi kanjani lokhu na? angahlulela phakathi kwefu elimnyama na?

¹⁴ Amafu awugqinsi ayisibekele angaboni; futhi uhamba emjikelezweni wezulu.

¹⁵ Ingabe usuwuphawulile umgwaqo omdala owawuhanjwa abantu ababi?

¹⁶ owachithwa kudala, osisekelo sakhe sakhukhulwa nguzamcolo;

¹⁷ abathi kuNkulunkulu: “Suka kithi; uSomandla angabenzelani na?

¹⁸ Kodwa wagcwalisa izindlu zabo ngezinto ezinhle, kodwa iseluleko sababi sikhatshana lami.

¹⁹ Abalungileyo bayakubona, bajabule, nabangenacala bayabahleka.

²⁰ Lanxa impahla yethu ingabhubhi, kodwa insalela yakho umlilo utshisa.

²¹ Jayelana naye manje, ube nokuthula; ngalokho okuhle kuyakwehlela phezu kwakho.

²² Yamukela umthetho ophuma emlonyeni wakhe, ugcine amazwi akhe enhliziyweni yakho.

²³ Uma ubuyela kuSomandla, uyokwakhiwa, ususe ububi bude namatende akho.

²⁴ Khona-ke kumelwe ulahle igolide njengothuli negolide lase-Ofiri njengamatshe emithombo.

²⁵ Yebo, uSomandla uyakuba yinqaba yakho, ube nensada yesiliva.

²⁶ Ngokuba lapho uyakuphakamisela injabulo yakho kuSomandla nobuso bakho kuNkulunkulu.

²⁷ Kumelwe uthandaze kuye, futhi uyokuzwa, futhi kumelwe uzifeze izifungo zakho.

²⁸ Kumelwe unqume okuthile, futhi kuyokuma kuwe, futhi ukukhanya kukhanye ezindleleni zakho.

²⁹ Lapho abantu bewiswa phansi, khona-ke kumelwe uthi: ‘Kukhona ukuphakamisa; futhi uyosindisa abathobekile.

³⁰ Uyakusindisa isiqhingi sabangenacala, sisindiswe ngokuhlanzeka kwezandla zakho.
