UJobe Uyaphendula
1 UJobe wasephendula wathi:
2 “Usumsize njani ongelamandla!
Usuyilamulele njani ingalo ebuthakathaka!
3 Yiseluleko esinjani osusiphe lowo ongelakuhlakanipha!
Njalo usubonise mbono bani!
4 Ngubani okuncedisileyo ukukhuluma amazwi la na?
Ngokabani umoya okhulume ngomlomo wakho na?
5 Abafileyo basebuhlungwini obukhulu,
labo abangaphansi kwamanzi lalabo abahlala kuwo.
6 UKufa kwambulekile phambi kukaNkulunkulu;
ikhamisile indawo yokubhubha.
7 Uyawendlala umkhathi wenyakatho endaweni engelalutho;
aphanyeke umhlaba phezu kweze.
8 Ugoqele amanzi emayezini akhe,
kodwa amayezi kawapatshaki yikusindwa ngamanzi.
9 Uyayigubuzela inyanga egcweleyo,
endlale amayezi phezu kwayo.
10 Umisa umkhawulo wokwengama umkhathi emanzini
kube ngumngcele phakathi kokukhanya lobumnyama.
11 Izinsika zamazulu ziyazamazama,
zisethuswa yikukhuza kwakhe.
12 Ngamandla akhe waluthulisa ulwandle;
ngenhlakanipho yakhe waquma uRahabi waba yiziqa.
13 Ngomoya wakhe umkhathi wacethula;
isandla sakhe sayigwaza inyoka ibaleka.
14 Njalo le yimisebenzi yakhe engaphandle nje ekucineni;
esikuzwayo yilizwana nje lokunyenyeza kwakhe!
