Imphendvulo yesitsatfu yaJobe kuBildadi
1Jobe waphendvula, watsi:
2“Maye, wena ulusito kulobutsakatsaka!
Maye, wena uwusindzisile lomkhono bewute emandla!
3Maye, wena umyale wamcondzisa lomuntfu longakahlakaniphi!
Maye, ukukhombisile kucondza kwakho!
4Usitwe ngubani wena kutsi ukhulume lamavi?
Wabani lomoya lokhulume ngemlomo wakho?
5“Labafile baselusizini lolukhulu kabi,
labo labangaphansi kwemanti
nako konkhe lokukuwo.
6Kufa kungcunu embikwaNkulunkulu;
imbhubhiso ayikafihleki kuye.
7Wendlala inyakatfo emkhatsini longenalutfo,
alengise umhlaba eteni.
8Ugocota emanti emafini akhe,
noko lawo manti akavuti kulamafu.
9Inyanga ledvulungene uyayisitsa,
endlale lifu lakhe etikwayo.
10Udvweba umnyele wemkhatsi etikwemanti,
kutsi kube ngumnyele wekukhanya nebumnyama.
11Tinsika tasezulwini tiyatfutfumela,
timangaliswe kutsetsa kwakhe.
12Ngemandla akhe wathulisa lwandle,
ngekuhlakanipha kwakhe wagawula Rahabi waba ticucu.
13Ngekuphefumula kwakhe
emazulu akhanya, angabi nalutfo;
sandla sakhe sayigwaza inyoka lentjuzako.
14Lawa ngemacentselo nje emisebenti yakhe.
Maye, lokukhulunywa ngaye sikuva kalufifi!
Ngubani nje longakucondza
kudvuma kwemandla akhe?”
