Jobe

13 “Liso lami likubone konkhe loku,

Indlebe yami ikuvile futsi ngakucondza.

 2 Lenikwatiko nine, nami ngiyakwati;

Kute lenincono ngako kimi.

 3 Kodvwa mine ngingamane ngikhulume naSomandla;

Ngifuna kukhombisa kutsi ngimsulwa embikwaNkulunkulu.+

 4 Kepha nine ningibhoca ngemanga;

Nonkhe nibodokotela labangenalusito.+

 5 Kube mane beningathula ningakhulumi,

Loko bekutawukhomba kutsi nihlakaniphile.+

 6 Ngicela nilalele lengikushoko,

Futsi niwanakisise emavi ami.*

 7 Nifuna kukhuluma intfo lengakalungi yini egameni laNkulunkulu,

Futsi nitawukhuluma emanga yini egameni lakhe?

 8 Nitawuvumelana naye yini,*

Nitawetama kusekela Nkulunkulu weliciniso yini?

10 Nakanjani utanisola

Nangabe ngasense nenta shengatsi nisekela yena.+

11 Bukhulu bakhe angeke yini bunetfuse

Nekumesaba angeke yini kunincobe?

12 Emavi enu lahlakaniphile ataga letingasho lutfo letifanana nemlotsa;

Tivikelo* tenu titsambe njengemahawu lakhiwe ngelubumba.

14 Ngitifakelani engotini*

Futsi ngibeke kuphila kwami etandleni tami?

15 Ngitawulindza ngisho nobe angangibulala;+

Ngitawukhombisa kutsi ngimsulwa* embikwakhe.

16 Yena utawubese uyangivikela,+

Ngobe kute umuntfu lomubi* longasondzela kuye.+

17 Lilalelisiseni livi lami;

Nikunake loko lengikushoko.

18 Nyalo sengikulungele kuletsa indzaba yami enkantolo;

Ngiyati kutsi kute lengikonile.

20 Awu Nkulunkulu, kubili nje kuphela lengicela ungentele kona,

Kuze ngingatifihli embikwakho:

21 Susa sandla sakho lesinemandla, usikhweshise kimi,

Futsi ungangenti ngetfuswe kukwesaba.+

24 Ubufihlelani buso bakho+

Futsi ungitsatselani njengesitsa sakho?+

25 Ungetama yini kwesabisa licembe leliphephukako

Nobe ucoshane nemakhoba lomile?

26 Ngobe uyachubeka utibhala phansi tintfo letibuhlungu longimangalela ngato,

Ungijezisela tono lengatenta ebusheni bami.

27 Uyangijezisa,*

Unakisisa tonkhe tindlela tami,

Futsi ubukisisa tonkhe tinyatselo tami.

28 Ngako umuntfu* uyabola njengentfo leyonakele,

Kuhle kwemphahla ledliwe ngumvunya.
