1Lawo madoda amathathu ayeseyeka ukumphendula uJobe, ngokuba wayelungile emehlweni akhe.
2Lwavutha ulaka luka-Elihu, indodana kaBarageli, umBushi, owesizwe sikaRamu; ulaka lwakhe lwamvuthela uJobe, ngokuba wayezilungisile kunoNkulunkulu.
3Intukuthelo yakhe yavuthela abangane bakhe abathathu, ngokuba bengatholanga impendulo, kepha bamlahla uJobe.
4U-Elihu wayeselinda waze wakhuluma uJobe, ngokuba babebadala kunaye.
5Lapho u-Elihu ebona ukuthi akukho mpendulo emilonyeni yala madoda amathathu, ulaka lwakhe lwavutha.
6Wayesephendula u-Elihu indodana kaBarageli umBushi, wathi: “Mina ngimncane, nina nibadala kakhulu; ngakho-ke ngesaba futhi angizange ngilokothe ngimemezele umbono wami.
7Ngathi: Izinsuku mazikhulume, iminyaka eminingi iyakufundisa ukuhlakanipha.
8Kodwa kukhona umoya kumuntu, futhi ukuphefumula kukaSomandla kubanikeza ukuqonda.
9Abantu abakhulu abahlakaniphile ngaso sonke isikhathi, nabadala abakuqondi ukwahlulela.
10Ngakho ngithe: Ngilaleleni; Nami ngizobeka umbono wami.
11Bheka, ngiwalindile amazwi akho; Ngilalele izizathu zenu, ngenkathi nifuna ukuthi nithini.
12Yebo, ngalinaka, bheka, akakho kini owamkholisa uJobe, owaphendula amazwi akhe.
13Ningasho ukuthi: “Sifumene ukuhlakanipha; uNkulunkulu wamwisa, hhayi umuntu.”
14Manje akabhekisanga kimi amazwi akhe, futhi ngeke ngimphendule ngezinkulumo zenu.
15Bamangala, kababe besaphendula; bayeka ukukhuluma.
16Lapho ngilindile (ngokuba abazange bakhulume, kodwa bema bangaphindi baphendule;)
17Ngathi: Lami ngizaphendula okwami, lami ngiveze umbono wami.
18Ngoba ngigcwele uthuli, umoya ophakathi kwami uyangiqhubezela.
19Bheka, isisu sami sinjengewayini elingenawo umoya; selilungele ukuqhuma njengamabhodlela amasha.
20Ngiyakukhuluma, ukuze ngiqabuleke; ngizovula izindebe zami ngiphendule.
21Mangingakhethi ubuso bamuntu, futhi ngingavumi ukuthopha umuntu.
22Ngokuba angikwazi ukubiza amagama athophayo; ukuze umenzi wami angisuse masinyane.
