Job 23

2 Lalamuhla ^a isikhalazo sami silokubaba ^b; isandla sami sinzima phezu kokububula kwami. 3 Kungathi ngabe ngiyazi lapho engingamthola khona ^c! Bengingeza enkundleni yakhe ^d! 4 Ngibeke kuhle udaba lwami phambi kwakhe ^e, ngigcwalise umlomo wami ngokuphikisa ^f. 5 Bengingawazi amazwi azangiphendula ngawo, ngiqedisise azakutsho kimi. 6 Uzaphikisana lami ngobukhulu bamandla yini? Hatshi, kodwa uzabeka inhliziyo yakhe kimi ^g. 7 Lapho oqotho angaphikisana laye; ngakho bengizaphepha phakade kumahluleli wami. 8 Khangelani ^h ngiya phambili, kodwa kakho ⁱ, lemuva ^j, kodwa kangimboni ^k. 9 Ngakwesokhohlo ekusebenzeni kwakhe, kodwa kangimboni ^l; uyacatsha ngakwesokunene ^m, kodwa kangimboni ⁿ. 10 Kanti uyayazi indlela elami ^o; kangihlole, ngizaphuma njengegolide ^p. 11 Unyawo lwami lubambelele enyathelweni lakhe ^q, ngiyigcinile indlela yakhe, kangiphambukanga ^r. 12 Kangisukanga lemlayweni wezindebe zakhe, ngawalondoloza amazwi omlomo wakhe okwedlula isabelo sami. 13 Kodwa yena ukokukodwa, ngubani-ke ongambuyisela emuva ^s? Lokho umphefumulo wakhe okufisayo uyakwenza ^t. 14 Ngoba uzaphelelisa engikumiselweyo; lezinto ezinengi ezinjalo zikuye ^u. 15 Ngenxa yalokho ngitshaywa luvalo phambi kwakhe; ngicabanga, ngiyamesaba ^v. 16 Ngoba uNkulunkulu wenze inhliziyo yami yaphela amandla, loSomandla ungethusile ^w. 17 Ngoba kangiqunywanga phambi komnyama ^x, wagubuzela ubumnyama ^y ebusweni bami ^z.
