Kukhulumisana kwekucala
(Jobe 4:1 – 14:22)
Inkhulumo ya-Elifazi
1Elifazi, umThemani, waphendvula watsi:
2“Nangabe umuntfu atimisele kukhuluma nawe,
wena utambeketelela yini?
Ngubani nje longake athule angakhulumi?
3Ase ucabange kutsi banyenti kangakanani
bantfu bewubafundzisa,
nalababutsakatsaka bewubakhutsata.
4Emavi akho abesimisa labakhubatelako,
acinise nemadvolo lagedletelako.
5Kodvwa nyalo kuhlupheka sekuhlasele wena,
nawe sewujabhile, kuhlupheka sekukusukele,
nawe sewuphelelwa ngemandla.
6Kantsi lokukhonta kwakho Nkulunkulu
akukudvudvuti ngani?
Bona lobucotfo bakho abukuniki ngani litsemba?
7“Ase ucabange naku:
Wase wambona yini longenacala abhubha?
Ngukuphi lapho labalungile bake babulawa khona?
8 Njengobe sengike ngabona kutsi
labo labalima bubi bahlanyele kuhlupheka,
bavele bavune kona loko.
9 Ngekuphefumula kwaNkulunkulu bayabhubha;
ngekuvunguta kwentfukutselo yakhe bayaphela.
10Emabhubesi angabhodla ahhonge,
noko ematinyo alawo mabhubesi lamakhulu ahhumukile.
11Libhubesi libulawa kweswela kudla,
emawundlu elibhubesi abaleke asabalale.
12“Kwanyenyiselwa livi kimi,
tindlebe tami takubamba loko lokwakuhletjwa.
13Kwatsi emkhatsini wekuvinjetelwa kwami ngemaphupho ebusuku,
ngesikhatsi bantfu behlelwa ngulobukhulu butfongo,
14kwesaba nekutfutfumela kwangigagadlela,
kwatfutfumelisa onkhe ematsambo ami.
15Umoya wantjuza wendlula embikwami,
kwasikitela tinwele emtimbeni wami.
16Wema; kodvwa angizange ngati kutsi kuyini.
Kwema intfo embikwemehlo ami,
ngase ngiva liphimbo lelihlebako, litsi:
17 ‘Kungenteka yini lobhubhako alunge kakhulu kunaNkulunkulu?
Kungenteka yini umuntfu abe msulwa kakhulu kuneMdali wakhe?
18Nangabe Nkulunkulu angatetsembi tinceku takhe,
nangabe tingilosi takhe atibeka licala,
19 kakhulu kangakanani-ke
labo labahlala etindlini letakhiwe ngeludzaka,
letitisekelo tato tiselutfulini,
labo labapitjiteka kalula njengemiyiyane.
20Babhujiswa emkhatsini wekusa nekuhwalala,
babhubha kokuphela kubete nalokunakako loko.
21Atikadvonswa yini tindophi temathende abo,
badzimate bafe bangenakuhlakanipha nje?’ ”
