UJobe 34

U-Elihu uyagomela ngokuthi uNkulunkulu akenzanga ukungabi nabulungisa kuJobe

1U-Elihu waphendula wathi:

2Yizwani amazwi ami nina zihlakaniphi! futhi ngilaleleni nina eninolwazi.

3Ngoba indlebe iyahlola amazwi, njengomlomo unambitha ukudla.

4Masizikhethele ukwahlulela, sazi phakathi kwethu okuhle.

5Ngokuba uJobe wathi: “Ngilungile, kepha uNkulunkulu uthathe ukulunga kwami.”

6Kufanele ngiqambe amanga ngiphikisa ilungelo lami na? isilonda sami asinakuphulukiswa, singenasiphambeko.

7Ngubani onjengoJobe, oklolodela njengamanzi okuphuza?

8abahamba nabenzi bokubi, bahambe nababi.

9Ngokuba wathi: “Umuntu othokoza ngoNkulunkulu akamsizi ngalutho.”

10Ngakho-ke ngilaleleni nina madoda anokuqonda! Kukude noNkulunkulu ukuthi ubengenza ububi; nokaSomandla, ukuba enze okubi.

11Ngomsebenzi womuntu uyakubuyisela kuye, kube yilowo nalowo athole njengezindlela zakhe.

12Yebo, uNkulunkulu ngeke enze okubi, futhi uMninimandla onke ngeke aphendukezele isahlulelo.

13Ubani owamnika umyalo phezu komhlaba? Noma ngubani owadla umhlaba wonke?

14Uma ebeka inhliziyo yakhe kumuntu, azibuthele kuye umoya wakhe nomoya wakhe;

15Yonke inyama iyobhubha kanyekanye, futhi umuntu uyobuyela othulini.

16Manje uma ninokuqondisisa, yizwani lokhu: lalelani izwi lamazwi ami.

17Lowo ozonda ubulungisa uyobusa na? futhi uyakulahla olungileyo kakhulu na?

18Kuyafaneleka yini ukuthi enkosini: ‘Umubi? nakuzikhulu: Nibabi na?

19Kangakanani-ke ngongamukeli ubuso bezikhulu, futhi ongabheki ocebile kunompofu? ngoba bonke bangumsebenzi wezandla zakhe.

20Bazofa ngokuphazima kweso, futhi abantu bayothuthumela phakathi kobusuku futhi badlule, futhi amaqhawe ayothathwa ngaphandle kwesandla.

21Ngokuba amehlo akhe aphezu kwezindlela zomuntu, futhi ubona zonke izindlela zakhe.

22Abukho ubumnyama nethunzi lokufa lapho abenzi bobubi bengacasha khona.

23Ngoba kayikuqamba amanga phezu komuntu; ukuze angene ekwahluleleni noNkulunkulu.

24Uyochoboza amadoda anamandla ngaphandle kokubalwa, amise abanye esikhundleni sabo.

25Ngakho uyazazi izenzo zabo futhi uyabaphendula ebusuku ukuze babhujiswe.

26Uyabashaya njengababi phambi kwamehlo omuntu;

27Ngoba bamfulathela, kabazange bacabangele zonke izindlela zakhe;

28Ukuze bavumele ukukhala kompofu kufike kuye, futhi ezwe ukukhala kwabalusizi.

29Uma ethula, ubani ongabanga inkathazo na? uma efihla ubuso bakhe, ngubani ongambona na? noma kwenziwa esizweni noma kumuntu yedwa;

30Ukuthi umzenzisi akabusi, ukuze abantu bangabanjwa.

31Kuyafaneleka ukuthi kuNkulunkulu: Ngikubekezelele ukujeziswa, angisayikona.

32Engingakuboniyo wena uyangifundisa; uma ngonile, angisayikwenza.

33Kufanele kube njengokuqonda kwakho na? uyakukubuyisela, noma wenqaba, noma ukhetha; hhayi mina; ngalokho khuluma okwaziyo.

34Abantu abanokuqonda mabangitshele, nomuntu ohlakaniphileyo makangilalele.

35UJobe wakhuluma engelalwazi, lamazwi akhe ayengelakuhlakanipha.

36Ngifisa ukuthi uJobe avivinywe kuze kube sekupheleni ngenxa yezimpendulo zakhe kubantu ababi.

37Ngokuba enezela ukuhlubuka esonweni sakhe, ushaya ihlombe phakathi kwethu, andise amazwi akhe ngokumelene noNkulunkulu.
