U-Elihu Uthi Ukuhlakanipha Namandla KaNkulunkulu Kukhonjwa Ngokubusa Kwakhe Ukuduma Nemvula

1“Ngenxa yalokho inhliziyo yami iyathuthumela,

isuke endaweni yayo.

2 Lalelani, nizwe ukuduma kwezwi lakhe,

nemvunge ephuma emlonyeni wakhe.

3 Ukuthumela phansi kwezulu lonke,

unyazi lwakhe luye emagumbini omhlaba.

4Emveni kwalokho izwi lakhe liyaduma,

uyaduma ngezwi lakhe lobukhosi,

akalunqandi unyazi

uma kuzwakala izwi lakhe.

5 UNkulunkulu uduma ngokumangalisayo ngezwi lakhe;

wenza izinto ezinkulu esingenakuziqonda.

6 Ngokuba uthi eqhweni:

‘Khithikela emhlabeni;’

kanjalo nasesihlambini semvula,

yebo, ezihlambini zezimvula zakhe ezinamandla.

7 Ubeka uphawu ezandleni zabantu

ukuze bonke abantu

bayazi imisebenzi yakhe.

8 Izilwane zibuyela ezikhundleni zazo,

zihlale emihumeni yazo.

9 Isikhwishikhwishi siphuma engosini yaso,

namakhaza avela emoyeni ohlabayo.

10 Ngokuphefumula kukaNkulunkulu,

kuvela ungqoqwane namanzi

ngobuningi bawo,

abe yiqhwa.

11 Yebo, ugcwalisa amafu ngomswakama,

awendlale amafu onyazi lwakhe,

12 ayazungeza,

ajikeleze njengalokhu ewaqondisa,

ukuze akufeze konke awayale khona

ebusweni bomhlaba,

13 noma ngabe lokho ukwenzela ukujezisa,

noma umhlaba wakhe,

noma ngothando,

uyakuvumela ukuba kwenzeke.

14“Beka indlebe kulokhu, Jobe,

uthule du,

uzindle ngezimangaliso zikaNkulunkulu.

15Uyazi yini ukuthi uNkulunkulu uwashayela

kanjani umthetho,

enze unyazi lwakhe lubanize emafini na?

16 Uyazi yini ukuthi amafu

endlaleke kanjani,

umsebenzi omangalisayo

walowo Ophelele olwazini,

17wena ozembatho zakho zifudumele,

lapho umhlaba uthule ngenxa yeshisandlu na?

18 Ungaseneka yini isibhakabhaka njengaye,

siqine njengesibuko esibunjiweyo na?

19 Sifundise esiyakukusho kuye,

asinakulubeka udaba lwethu,

ngenxa yokuthi sidukuza oswini.

20Angatshelwa yini uNkulunkulu

ukuthi ngizokhuluma na?

Ukhona yini ongathi

ufuna ukubhujiswa na?

21Abantu abazukuwubona umbani emafini

ngoba umoya sewedlulile, selicwathile.

22Ngasenyakatho kuqhamuka inkazimulo yegolide,

uNkulunkulu wembethe ubukhosi obesabekayo.

23 USomandla singemqonde,

mkhulu ngamandla nangobulungiswa,

ngokulunga kwakhe okukhulu akoni muntu.

24 Ngakho-ke abantu bayamesaba,

kodwa akabagqizi qakala

abacabanga ukuthi bayizihlakaniphi ezinhliziyweni zabo.”
