UYOBI 40

UNdikhoyo: Wena omangalela uThixo, phendula
1*UNdikhoyo uqhube wathi kuYobi:
2“Ngaba ufuna ukubambana noSomandla,
usalatha iimpazamo zakhe?
Wena omangalela uThixo, phendula.”
UYobi: Ndosuka ndiwuthunge umlomo
3Ke yena uYobi uphendule *uNdikhoyo wathi:
4“Xa kungokunje ndiyaqonda ukuba andinto yanto.
Ndingaba saphendula ndithini?
Kungokunje ndidl' imu.
5Ewe, ndithethe ndaphinda-phinda,
kambe ke ngoku ndosuka ndiwuthunge.”
UNdikhoyo: Ngaba nawe womelele njengoThixo?
6Ke *uNdikhoyo waphendula esesaqhwithini, wathetha noYobi wathi:
7“Khawuqule, ume njengendoda;
mna ndiza kukubuza, wena ke uphendule.
8“Ngaba ufuna ukusisingela phantsi isigwebo sam?
Ugweba mna ukuze wena ugwetyelwe?
9Ngaba nawe womelele njengoThixo?
Nelakho ilizwi lizongoma njengelakhe?
10Xa kunjalo ke khawuvele uveth' isidima uzimasekile;
khawuthi jize isihomo nesithozela.
11Khawuphokoze loo msindo wakho,
ubaphoxe abo bazigwagwisayo.
12Ewe, badilize abo baqholosayo;
ke zona izikhohlakali zinyhashele apho zikhoyo.
13Xa zizonke zibandakanye uzingcwabe;
zigqume zihlale kwelo labafileyo.
14Xa kunjalo ke ndiya kuvuma,
ndisithi unako ukuzisindisa ngawakho amandla.
15“Imvubu le uyayiqonda?
Njengawe nayo ndayidala;
phofu yona injengenkomo, itya ingca.
16Kambe ke, yeka – asimandla esinqeni sayo!
Yinto emzimba unemisipha engwanyalala!
17Yinto emsila ungqangqasholo okomsedare;
ke zona izihlunu zemilenze ziphindene.
18Amathambo ayo omelele njengobhedu;
ewe, afana nemivalo yentsimbi.
19Kuzo zonk' izidalwa ithe kratya ngokukhwankqisa;
nguMdali wayo yedwa onako ukuyoyisa.
20Ukutya kwayo kufumaneka ezintabeni phaya,
apho zidloba-dloba khona izilwanyana.
21Ungafika ingqengqe phantsi kwamatyholo akhula ngasemanzini,
okanye izimele ezingcongolweni, emgxobhozweni phaya.
22Ewe, iphumla emthunzini wamatyholo entlanjeni phaya,
ufike ijikelezwe yimingcunube.
23Yona ayiwoyiki umlambo ophuphumayo;
ithi zole nakwiJordan elatyuza amanzi de abethe emlonyeni wayo.
24Kodwa kodwa ngubani ongayihlaselayo?
Ngaba uqale wayityhaphaza?
Ngubani ongayithiyela ayithi qhoo ngaloo mpumlo?”
