UJobe
29 UJobe waqhubeka ekhuluma esithi:
2 “Sengize ngikhumbula izinyanga leziyana ezedlulayo,
Ngensuku uNkulunkulu esangivikela,
3 Engikhanyisela ngesibane sakhe phezu kwekhanda lami,
Ngihamba emnyameni ngikhanyiselwe nguye.+
4 Ngangiseselamandla,
UNkulunkulu esesengumngane wami futhi ehlala etendeni lami,+
5 USomandla wayeseselami,
Labantwabami besesekhona,*
6 Ngangihamba ezindleleni ezigeleza uchago,
Emadwaleni kugeleza amafutha ami ama-oliva.+
7 Ngangijayele ukuya egedini ledolobho+
Ngifike ngihlale egcekeni ledolobho.+
9 Iziphathamandla zazithula zingatsho lutho,
Zivale imilomo yazo ngezandla.
10 Izikhulu zaziphelelwa ngamazwi,
Zithule zwi.*
11 Loba ngubani owayengizwa ngikhuluma wayengincoma,
Lalabo ababengibona babengifakazela,
12 Ngoba ngangisiza umyanga owayekhalela uncedo,+
Ngisize lentandane laloba ngubani owayengelamuntu ongamnceda.+
14 Ngangigqoka ukulunga kube yisembatho sami,
Lokwahlulela kuhle kube lijazi lami leqhiye yami.
15 Ngangingamehlo eziphofu
Lenyawo zezigoga.
17 Ngangisephula umhlathi womuntu owenza okubi,+
Ngikhulule labo ayebacindezela.
18 Ngangihlala ngisithi, ‘Ngizafela emzini wami,+
Lensuku zami zizakuba zinengi njengetshebetshebe.
19 Impande zami zizanaba ziyefika emanzini,
Lengatsha zami zibe lamazolo ubusuku bonke.
20 Udumo lwami alusoze luphele,
Ngizaqhubeka ngiphosa imitshoko ngedandili* lami.’
21 Abantu babethula zwi bangilalele,
Bathiye indlebe befuna ukuzwa ukuthi ngizabeluleka ngisithini.+
22 Ngangisithi ngingakhuluma bangabi lokunye abangakutsho,
Amazwi ami ayemnandi ezindlebeni zabo.
23 Babengilindela angathi balindele izulu,
Bamelele ukuzwa amazwi ami angathi balindele izulu lokucina.+
24 Ngangisithi ngingabobotheka babone angathi bayaphupha,
Ngithi ngingahlekelela baduduzeke.
