| 31:40 | bese, makungihlumele ukhula oluhlabayo esikhundleni samabele, nameva esikhundleni sebhali. (Lokhu aqeda amazwi kaJobe.) |
Umsebenzi 32
| 32:1 | Kodwa la madoda amathathu ayeka ukumphendula uJobe, ngoba wayezibona elungile. |
| 32:2 | no-Elihu indodana kaBarakeli umBuzi, wezihlobo zikaRamu, wathukuthela wacasuka. Kodwa wamthukuthelela uJobe ngoba wayezichaza ukuthi ulungile phambi kukaNkulunkulu. |
| 32:3 | Ngaphezu kwalokho, wabathukuthelela abangani bakhe ngoba babengayitholanga impendulo ezwakalayo, ngaphandle nje kokuthi bamlahla uJobe. |
| 32:4 | Ngakho-ke, U-Eliu walinda ngenkathi uJobe ekhuluma, ngoba yilaba abadala bakhe ababekhuluma. |
| 32:5 | Kodwa lapho ebona ukuthi laba abathathu abakwazi ukuphendula, wayethukuthele kakhulu. |
| 32:6 | Ngakho u-Elihu indodana kaBharakeli umBuzi wasabela ngokuthi: Ngimncane ngeminyaka, futhi nina nibadala kakhulu; ngakho-ke, Ngaligcina liphansi ikhanda, ngoba ngesaba ukunembulela umbono wami. |
| 32:7 | Ngoba ngangithemba ukuthi inkathi enkulu iyokhuluma, nokuthi iminyaka eminingi izofundisa ukuhlakanipha. |
| 32:8 | Kodwa sengiyabona manje ukuthi umoya awukho emadodeni, nokuthi kungukuphefumulelwa kukaSomandla okunikeza ukuqonda. |
| 32:9 | Abahlakaniphile akubona abadala, nabadala abaqondi ukwahlulela. |
| 32:10 | Ngakho-ke, Ngizokhuluma. Ngilalele, ngakho ngizokukhombisa ukuhlakanipha kwami. |
| 32:11 | Ngoba ngiwabekezelele amazwi akho; Ngizinakile izicamango zenu, ngenkathi uphikisana ngamazwi. |
| 32:12 | Futhi inqobo nje uma bengicabanga ukuthi kukhona okushoyo, Ngacabanga; kodwa manje ngiyabona ukuthi akekho kini okwazi ukuphikisana noJobe futhi aphendule amazwi akhe. |
| 32:13 | Ukuze ungasho, “Sikutholile ukuhlakanipha,” UNkulunkulu umwise phansi, hhayi umuntu. |
| 32:14 | Akashongo lutho kimi, futhi ngeke ngimphendule ngokwamazwi enu. |
| 32:15 | Base begcwala ukwesaba, ngakho ababe besaphendula, basebesuka ekukhulumeni kwabo. |
| 32:16 | Ngakho-ke, ngoba ngilindile kodwa kabazange bakhulume, ngoba bema baqina kabaphendulanga lakancane, |
| 32:17 | nami ngiyakuphendula ngesikhathi sami, futhi ngizokwembula ulwazi lwami. |
| 32:18 | Ngoba ngigcwele amazwi, nomuzwa osethunjini lami uyangikhuthaza. |
| 32:19 | Yebo, isisu sami sinjengewayini elibilayo elingenasikhala, okuqhumisa iziqukathi ezintsha. |
| 32:20 | Kufanele ngikhulume, kodwa nami ngizophefumula kancane; ngizovula izindebe zami, futhi ngizophendula. |
| 32:21 | Ngeke ngisazise isithunzi somuntu, futhi ngeke ngilinganise uNkulunkulu nomuntu. |

| 33:22 | Umphefumulo wakhe ususondele ekonakaleni, futhi ukuphila kwakhe sekusondele kokubulalayo. |
| 33:23 | Ukube bekunengelosi emkhulumelayo, eyodwa phakathi kwezinkulungwane, ukumemezela ukulunga komuntu, |
| 33:24 | uzakuba lesihawu kuye, futhi uzothi, “Mkhulule, ukuze angehleli ekubhujisweni. Ngithole isizathu sokuba nomusa kuye. |
| 33:25 | Umzimba wakhe udliwa ukuhlupheka. Makabuyele ezinsukwini zobusha bakhe.” |
| 33:26 | Uyocela intethelelo kuNkulunkulu, futhi uyakuba mnandi kuye; futhi uyobuka ubuso bakhe ngokujabula, futhi uyobuyisela ubulungisa bakhe kumuntu. |
| 33:27 | Uzocabangela isintu, futhi uzothi: “Ngonile futhi ngonile ngempela, nokho angizange ngiphathwe ngendlela engangifanele.” |
| 33:28 | Ukhululile umphefumulo wakhe ekuqhubekeleni phambili ekubhujisweni, ukuze, ekuphileni, ingase ibone ukukhanya. |
| 33:29 | Bheka, zonke lezi zinto uNkulunkulu usebenza kathathu phakathi kwenye ngayinye, |
| 33:30 | ukuze avuselele imiphefumulo yabo ekonakaleni futhi abakhanyisele ngokukhanya kokuphila. |
| 33:31 | Naka Jobe, futhi ungilalele; aphinde athule, ngisakhuluma. |
| 33:32 | Nokho, uma unokuthile ongakusho, ngiphendule ngikhulume, ngoba ngithanda ukuthi uphathwe ngokulunga. |
| 33:33 | Kodwa uma ungenalutho ongakusho, bese ungilalela. Thula, ngikufundise ukuhlakanipha;. |
Umsebenzi 34
| 34:1 | Ngemva kokumemezela lezi zinto, U-Eliu wabe esesho lokhu: |
| 34:2 | kwangathi abahlakaniphileyo bezwa amazwi ami, kwangathi abafundile bangangilalela. |
| 34:3 | Ngoba indlebe iyahlola amazwi, nomlomo wehlukanisa ukudla ngokunambitha. |
| 34:4 | Ake sizikhethele ukwahlulela, futhi ake sicabangele phakathi kwethu ukuthi yini engcono. |
| 34:5 | Ngoba uJobe uthe: “Ngimane nje, nokho uNkulunkulu uphambukile ukwahlulela kwami. |
| 34:6 | Ngoba, ngaphakathi kokwahlulela kwami, kukhona amanga: izindebe zami ezibuhlungu azinasono.” |
| 34:7 | Imuphi umuntu ofana noJobe, ophuza inhlekisa kungathi amanzi, |
| 34:8 | ophelezela abenza okubi, futhi ohamba namadoda angalungile? |
| 34:9 | Ngoba eshilo, “Umuntu ngeke amjabulise uNkulunkulu, noma kufanele ahambe naye.” |
| 34:10 | Ngakho-ke, amadoda ahlakaniphileyo, ngizwe: ukubi kukude noNkulunkulu, nobubi bukude kuSomandla. |
| 34:11 | Ngoba uyobuyisela kumuntu izenzo zakhe, futhi ngokwezindlela zalowo nalowo, uzowabuyisela. |
| 34:12 | Ngoba ngempela, UNkulunkulu ngeke alahle ngeze, futhi uSomandla ngeke asilahle isahlulelo. |
| 34:13 | Yini enye emisiwe phezu komhlaba? Noma ubani ambeke phezu komhlaba, akwenzile? |
| 34:14 | Kodwa, uma eqondisa inhliziyo yakhe kuye, uyozidonsela kuye umoya nomoya wakhe. |
| 34:15 | Yonke inyama iyohluleka kanyekanye, futhi umuntu uyobuyela emlotheni. |
| 34:16 | Ngakho-ke, uma unakho ukuqonda, ukuzwa okushiwoyo, futhi ulalele umsindo wokukhuluma kwami. |
| 34:17 | Ingabe ongathandi ukwahlulela uyakwazi ukuqondiswa? Futhi ungamlahla kanjani kangaka olungile?? |
| 34:18 | Ithi enkosini, “Uyisihlubuki.” Ubiza abalawuli ngababi. |
| 34:19 | Akalamukeli isithunzi sabaholi; futhi akamqapheli umashiqela njengoba elwa nabampofu. Ngoba bonke bangumsebenzi wezandla zakhe. |
| 34:20 | Bayofa ngokuzumayo, futhi abantu bayokhathazeka phakathi kobusuku, kodwa bayakudabula, nabanobudlova bayosuswa ngaphandle kwesandla. |
| 34:21 | Ngoba amehlo akhe aphezu kwezindlela zabantu, futhi uhlola zonke izinyathelo zabo. |
| 34:22 | abukho ubumnyama nethunzi lokufa, lapho abenza okubi bengase bacashe khona. |
| 34:23 | Ngoba akusekho emandleni omuntu ukungena ekwahluleleni noNkulunkulu. |
| 34:24 | Uzoqhekeka abe yizicucu eziningi ezingenakubalwa, futhi uyokwenza abanye basukume esikhundleni sabo. |
| 34:25 | Ngoba uyayazi imisebenzi yabo, futhi, ngenxa yalokho, uzoletha ubusuku, futhi bayochotshozwa. |
| 34:26 | Njengoba nje ababi benza, ubashaye endaweni lapho bebonakala khona. |
| 34:27 | Bona, njengokungathi ngokukhulu ukukhuthala, bahoxile kuye, bala ukuqonda zonke izindlela zakhe, |
| 34:28 | baze benza ukuba ukukhala kwabampofu kufinyelele kuye, wezwa izwi labampofu. |
| 34:29 | Ngoba, lapho enikeza ukuthula, ngubani ongalahla? Lapho ezifihle ubuso, ngubani ongacabanga ngaye, loba phakathi kwezizwe, kumbe phakathi kwabantu bonke? |
| 34:30 | Ubangela ukuba umuntu ozenzisayo abuse ngenxa yezono zabantu. |
| 34:31 | Ngakho-ke, njengoba kade ngikhuluma ngoNkulunkulu, Ngeke ngikuvimbele ukuthi wenze okufanayo. |
| 34:32 | Uma ngenze iphutha, ungangifundisa; uma ngikhulume ngokungafanele, angisayikwengeza. |
| 34:33 | Ingabe uNkulunkulu ufuna lokhu kuwe ngoba kukubi? Ngoba nguwe owakhuluma kuqala, futhi hhayi mina. Kodwa uma wazi okuthile okungcono, khuluma. |
| 34:34 | Abantu abanokuqonda mabakhulume nami, nomuntu ohlakaniphileyo makangilalele. |
| 34:35 | Kodwa uJobe ubekhuluma ngobuwula, futhi amazwi akhe aqukethe imfundiso engenangqondo. |
| 34:36 | Ubaba wami, uJobe akavivinywe kuze kube sekupheleni; kwangathi ungahlehla kumuntu wobubi. |
| 34:37 | Ngoba wenezela ukuhlambalaza phezu kwezono zakhe; nokho, makaphoqeleke ukuba abe phakathi kwethu, khona-ke makavuse uNkulunkulu ekwahluleleni ngamazwi akhe. |
Umsebenzi 35
| 35:1 | Ngemva kwalokhu, U-Eliu waphinde wakhuluma ngale ndlela: |
| 35:2 | Ingabe kubonakala kulungile kuwe emicabangweni yakho, ukuthi kufanele usho, “Ngilungile kunoNkulunkulu?” |
| 35:3 | Ngoba uthe, “Ukwenza okulungile akukuthokozisi,” futhi, “Kuzokuhlomula kanjani, uma ngona?” |
| 35:4 | Manje, Ngizosabela emazwini akho, nakubangani bakho okanye nawe. |
| 35:5 | Bheka phezulu ubheke ezulwini futhi ucabange; futhi, cabanga ngesibhakabhaka, okuyinto ephakeme kunawe. |
| 35:6 | Uma ona, kuzomlimaza kanjani? Futhi uma iziphambeko zenu zanda, uzomenzani? |
| 35:7 | Ngaphezu kwalokho, uma wenza ngokulunga, uzomnikani, kumbe uzakwemukelani esandleni sakho? |
| 35:8 | Ukungathembeki kwakho kungalimaza umuntu onjengawe, noma ubulungisa bakho bungayisiza indodana yomuntu. |
| 35:9 | Ngenxa yobuningi babamangaleli bamanga, bayokhala; futhi bayolila ngenxa yengalo enamandla yabashiqela. |
| 35:10 | Nokho akakasho: “Uphi uNkulunkulu, owangenza, onikeze izingoma ebusuku, |
| 35:11 | osifundisa ngaphezu kwezilwane zomhlaba, nosifundisayo kanye nezinyoni zezulu?” |
| 35:12 | Lapho bayokhala, futhi akayikulalela kubo, ngenxa yokuzidla kwababi. |
| 35:13 | Ngakho-ke, UNkulunkulu akezwa ngeze, futhi uSomandla uyobheka kuzo zonke izimo. |
| 35:14 | Manje, uma usho, “Akahloli,” ahlulelwe phambi kwakhe, kodwa mlindeni. |
| 35:15 | Ngoba, kulesi sikhathi samanje, akavezi ukufutheka kwakhe, futhi akajezisi kakhulu isono. |
| 35:16 | Ngakho-ke, UJobe uvule umlomo wakhe ngeze futhi uye wandisa amazwi angenalwazi. |
Umsebenzi 36
| 36:1 | Ukuqhubeka ngendlela efanayo, U-Eliu wayesho lokhu: |
| 36:2 | Ngibekezeleleni isikhashana, ngizokukhombisa; ngoba ngisesengizakutsho ngomusa kaNkulunkulu. |
| 36:3 | Ngizobuyekeza ulwazi lwami kusukela ekuqaleni, futhi ngizobonisa uMenzi wami ukuthi ulungile. |
| 36:4 | Ngoba ngempela amazwi ami awanamanga futhi ulwazi oluphelele luyofakazelwa kini. |
| 36:5 | UNkulunkulu akabalahli abanamandla, ngoba laye uqobo ulamandla. |
| 36:6 | Kodwa akasindisi abangenanhlonipho, lanxa enika abayanga ukwahlulela. |
| 36:7 | Ngeke awasuse amehlo akhe kwabalungile, njalo ubeka amakhosi ezihlalweni zawo zobukhosi, futhi baphakeme. |
| 36:8 | Futhi, uma besekuthunjweni, noma beboshwe ngamaketango obumpofu, |
| 36:9 | uyobembulela izenzo zabo, kanye nokona kwabo, ngokuthi babenobudlova. |
| 36:10 | Ngokunjalo, uyakuvula izindlebe zabo ekuqondiseni kwakhe, futhi uzokhuluma kubo, ukuze babuye ebubini. |
| 36:11 | Uma belalela futhi belalela, bayogcwalisa izinsuku zabo ngokuhle, baphelelise iminyaka yabo enkazimulweni. |
| 36:12 | Kodwa uma bengalaleli, bayakudlula ngenkemba, baqedwe ubuwula. |
| 36:13 | Abakhohlisayo nabanobuqili bathukuthelisa ulaka lukaNkulunkulu, nokho abamemezeli kuye lapho beboshiwe. |
| 36:14 | Umphefumulo wabo uyofa esiphepho, kanye nempilo yabo, phakathi kwabangabesilisa. |
| 36:15 | Uyokhulula ompofu osizini lwakhe, futhi uyovula indlebe yakhe phakathi nosizi. |
| 36:16 | Ngakho-ke, uyakukusindisa emlonyeni omncane kakhulu, nakuba ingenasisekelo ngaphansi kwayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuphumula kwakho etafuleni kuyakugcwala ukukhuluphala. |
| 36:17 | Icala lakho lahlulelwe njengelababi; uyakuhoxisa ukunxusa kwakho nokwahlulelwa kwakho. |
| 36:18 | Ngakho-ke, ungavumeli ukuthukuthela kukwehlule uze ucindezele omunye; futhi akufanele uvumele inqwaba yezipho ukuba zikuthonye. |
