UJobe
38 UJehova wasekhuluma ephakathi kwesivunguzane+ wathi kuJobe:
2 “Ngubani lowo owenza izeluleko zami zingazwakali?
Ngubani lowo okhuluma engazi lutho?+
3 Qina ube yindoda,
Mina ngizakubuza wena ungiphendule.
4 Wawungaphi ngidala umhlaba?+
Ngitshela nxa uzwisisa ukuthi ngawenza njani.
5 Uyakwazi yini ukuthi ngubani owafaka izilinganiso zawo,
Lokuthi ngubani owawulinganisa ngentambo?
6 Izikhonkwane zawo zabethelwa ngaphi?
Ngubani owabeka ilitshe lawo eliyisiqokoqela?*+
8 Ngubani owavalela ulwandle ngemva kwezivalo,+
Ngesikhathi amanzi alo ethela?
9 Wawungaphi ngilwembathisa ngamayezi,
Ngesikhathi ngilugoqela ngobumnyama obukhulu?
10 Wawungaphi ngimisa imingcele yalo,
Ngilufakela izivalo lemigubazi?+
11 Wawungaphi lapho ngisithi, ‘Ungasondela uze ufike lapha, kodwa ungedluli,
Lapha yikho okuzaphelela khona amagagasi akho amakhulu?’+
12 Wake walitshela yini ilanga ukuthi liphume,
Loba watshengisa ukusa ukuthi kumele kuthutshe ngaphi?+
13 Nguwe yini owatshela ukusa ukuthi kufike lasemikhawulweni yomhlaba,
Lokuthi kuxotshe abantu abenza okubi?+
14 Umhlaba uyaguquka njengebumba lifakwa uphawu,
Konke okukuwo kukhanye bha njengamabala esigqoko.
15 Kodwa ukukhanya kwababi kuyasuswa,
Basale bengelamandla okucindezela abanye.
16 Sewake wayafika yini lapho okudabuka khona ulwandle,
Watshona waze wafika enzikini yalo?+
18 Uyazwisisa yini ukuthi umhlaba mkhulu kangakanani?+
Akungitshele nxa ukwazi konke lokhu.
19 Uyakwazi yini ukuthi ukukhanya kuhlala ngaphi,+
Lokuthi ubumnyama butholakala ngaphi?
20 Ungakuthatha yini ukubuyisele lapho okuvela khona?
Uyayazi na indlela eya lapho okuhlala khona?
21 Wawusuzelwe yini ngidala konke lokhu ukuthi usungaze ukwazi,
Kumbe yikuthi usuleminyaka eminengi?
22 Sewake wangena yini eziphaleni zongqwaqwane?+
Wake wazibona yini iziphala zesiqhotho,+
23 Engizigcinele isikhathi sokuhlupheka
Lengizibekele usuku lwempi?+
24 Ukukhanya kusabalala njani?
Umoya wasempumalanga uqalisela ngaphi ukuvunguza?+
25 Ngubani owavulela isikhukhula indlela?
Ngubani owavula indlela yamayezi esiphepho,+
26 Ukuze izulu line lapho okungahlali muntu,
Ligxobe enkangala okungelamuntu khona,+
27 Besekugcwala amanzi endaweni ezomileyo
Kumile lotshani?+
28 Izulu liloyise yini?+
Ngubani uyise wamazolo?+
29 Ungqwaqwane wazalwa ngubani?
Ngubani owazala iliqhwa elikhithika livela phezulu?+
30 Ngubani owembesa amanzi ngongqwaqwane ome angathi lidwala,
Enze lamanzi atshonayo ome phezulu abe lilitshe?+
31 Ungazibopha yini intambo zeqembu lezinkanyezi okuthiwa yiKhima,
32 Ungalikhokhela yini iqembu lezinkanyezi ngesikhathi salo,
Loba uqondise i-Ashi* labantwabayo?
33 Uyayazi yini imithetho eqondisa izinto ezisemkhathini?+
Ungayifaka yini leyomithetho lasemhlabeni?
34 Ungawamemeza yini amayezi
Ukuze kune izulu elikhulu likusibekele?+
35 Ungawuthuma yini umbane?
Ungaphenduka yini kuwe ufike uthi, ‘Sengibuyile’?
37 Ngubani ohlakaniphe okokuthi angabala amayezi,
Loba athulule imbiza zamanzi ezisezulwini?+
38 Ngubani owenza uthuli lutshintshe lube yizigaqa,
Lenhlabathi ibumbane ibe ngamagade?
39 Ungasidingela ukudla yini isilwane,
Loba usuthise izilwane ezilamandla,+
40 Nxa zilele ezimbalwini zazo
Kumbe zicatheme ezixukwini?
41 Ngubani opha iwabayi ukudla+
Nxa abantwabalo bekhala kuNkulunkulu becela uncedo,
Bezulazula bengelakudla?
