UJobe
11 UZofari+ umNamathi waphendula wathi:
2 “Kambe umuntu angakhuluma amazwi wonke la angaphendulwa yini?
Kambe ukulawula kungenza umuntu abe ngoqondileyo?
3 Ubona angani amazwi akho angelangqondo angavala imilomo yabantu yini?
Kambe kungaswelakala yini umuntu ongakukhuza wena ukhulumela eceleni?+
5 Aluba nje uNkulunkulu ubengakhuluma,
Avule umlomo wakhe akhulume lawe!+
6 Ubezakutshela imfihlo yokuhlakanipha,
Ngoba ukuhlakanipha kubanzi futhi kujulile.
Lapho-ke ubuzananzelela ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyazikhohlwa ezinye iziphambeko zakho.
7 Ungabazazi yini izinto ezijulileyo ezimayelana loNkulunkulu?
Ungenelisa yini ukwazi konke ngoSomandla?
8 Ukuhlakanipha kuphakeme kulamazulu. Pho wena kuyini ongakwenza?
Kuyatshona ukwedlula ingcwaba. Wena kungakanani ongabakwazi?
9 Kukhulu kulomhlaba,
Njalo kubanzi kulolwandle.
10 Nxa uNkulunkulu ubengadlula ebopha umuntu abesebiza inkundla,
Ngubani obengaphikisana laye?
11 Phela yena uyababona abantu nxa beqilibezela abanye.
Kambe angabona okubi angenzi lutho?
12 Nxa umuntu ongelangqondo angazwisisa,
Ubabhemi weganga angazala umuntu.
13 Aluba ubungalungisa inhliziyo yakho,
Uthandaze kuNkulunkulu.*
14 Nxa isandla sakho sisenza okubi kuyekele,
Ungavumi ukuthi okubi kwenzakale etendeni lakho.
15 Nxa ungenza njalo uzaphakamisa ikhanda lakho usazi ukuthi umsulwa.
Uzakuma uqine ungesabi lutho,
16 Ulukhohlwe udubo lwakho,
Ulukhohlwe njengamanzi ageleze adlula.
17 Impilo yakho izakhanya ukwedlula imini enkulu;
Lalapho isimnyama izakhanya njengasekuseni.
18 Uzakuba lesibindi ngoba uzabe usulethemba,
Uzathalaza ngapha langapha, ulale behle.
19 Uzalala kuhle kungabi lamuntu ozakwethusela,
Abantu abanengi bazabuya bezokuncenga.
20 Kodwa amehlo abantu abenza okubi azafiphala,
Abasoze bayithole indawo yokucatsha,
Ithemba labo lizakuba yikufa kuphela.”+
