UYobhi Chapter42
1 UYobhi wamphendula uYehova, wathi,
2 Ndiyazi ukuba unako ukufeza konke, Akunqatyelwa nto uyicingileyo.
3 Ngubani na lo usithe icebo engenakwazi? Ngoko ke ndithethe ndingaziqondi Izinto ezibalulekileyo kum, ndingazazi.
4 Khawuphulaphule, ndithethe mna; Ndiya kubuza kuwe, undazise.
5 Bendikuva ukukuva ngendlebe, Kungoku iliso lam likubonile.
6 Ngenxa yoko ndiyazicekisa, ndizohlwaye, Ndiseluthulini naseluthuthwini.
7 Ke kaloku kwathi, emva kokuba uYehova ewathethile la mazwi kuYobhi, wathi uYehova kuElifazi wakwaTeman, Umsindo wam uyavutha kuwe, nakubamelwane bakho bobabini; kuba anithethanga nto iyiyo ngam, njengomkhonzi wam uYobhi.
8 Ngoku ke zithabatheleni iinkunzi ezintsha zeenkomo zibe sixhenxe, neenkunzi zeegusha zibe sixhenxe, niye kumkhonzi wam uYobhi, nizinyusele idini elinyukayo, uYobhi umkhonzi wam anithandazele. Ndomnonelela yena yedwa, ukuze ndingenzi kuni ngokobudenge benu; kuba ningathethanga nto iyiyo ngam, njengomkhonzi wam uYobhi.
9 Baya ke ooElifazi wakwaTeman, noBhiledadi wakwaShuwa, noTsofare waseNahama, benza njengoko wakuthethayo kubo uYehova. Waza uYehova wamnonelela ke uYobhi.
10 UYehova wakubuyisa ukuthinjwa kukaYobhi, akubon’ ukuba ubathandazele oowabo. Wakongeza uYehova konke awayenako uYobhi, kwada kwaphindwa kabini.
11 Beza kuye bonke abazalwana bakhe, noodade babo bonke, nabo bonke ababesazana naye ngenxa engaphambili, badla naye ukutya endlwini yakhe, bamkhuza, bamthuthuzela ngenxa yobubi bonke, abemfikisele bona uYehova; bamnika elowo ikhulu lemali, elowo ijikazi legolide.
12 UYehova wakusikelela ukuphela kukaYobhi ngaphezu kokuqala kwakhe; waba neshumi elinesine lamawaka empahla emfutshane, nesithandathu samawaka eenkamela, newaka lezibini zeenkomo, newaka leemazi zamaesile.
13 Waba noonyana abasixhenxe, neentombi ezintathu. Igama leyokuqala kwathiwa nguJemima,
14 igama leyesibini nguKetsiya, igama leyesithathu nguKeren-hapuki.
15 Akwafumaneka mankazana mahle njengeentombi zikaYobhi ezweni lonke. Uyise wazinika amafa phakathi kwabanakwazo.
16 Emveni koko, uYobhi wadla ubomi iminyaka elikhulu elinamanci mane, wabona oonyana bakhe, noonyana boonyana bakhe, izizukulwana zazine.
17 Wafa ke uYehobi, eyindoda enkulu, ephelele ebudaleni.
