Job 35
1 And Elihu answers and says:
Ipapo Erihu akati:
2 “Have you reckoned this for judgment [when] you have said, My righteousness [is] more than God’s?
“Unofunga kuti izvi zvakarurama here? Iwe zvaunoti, ‘Ndichanzi ndakarurama naMwari.’
3 For you say, What does it profit You? What do I profit from my sin?
Kunyange zvakadaro unomubvunza uchiti, ‘Zvinondibatsirei, uye ndinowaneiko nokusatadza.’
4 I return words, and your friends with you,
“Ndinoda kupindura iwe neshamwari dzako dzaunadzo.
5 Behold attentively the heavens—and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than you.
Tarira kumatenga uone; nanʼanidza makore ari pamusoro pako.
6 If you have sinned, what do you do against Him? And your transgressions have been multiplied, What do you do to Him?
Kana ukatadza, zvinomurwadza zvakadiniko? Kana zvivi zvako zvikawanda, zvinoita sei kwaari?
7 If you have been righteous, What do you give to Him? Or what does He receive from your hand?
Kana wakarurama, unomupeiko iye, kana kuti anogamuchireiko kubva muruoko rwako?
8 For a man like yourself [is] your wickedness, And for a son of man your righteousness.
Kuipa kwako kunongobata munhu akaita sewe, uye kururama kwako ndekwomwanakomana wavanhu chete.
9 Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty.
“Vanhu vanoridza mhere vari pasi pomutoro wokumanikidzwa; vanokumbira kusunungurwa kubva muruoko rwoune simba.
10 And none said, Where [is] God my Maker? Giving songs in the night,
Asi hakuna munhu anoti, ‘Aripiko Mwari Muiti wangu, anopa nziyo panguva yousiku,
11 Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Indeed, He makes us wiser than the bird of the heavens.
anodzidzisa zvakawanda kwatiri kupfuura mhuka dzenyika uye anotiita vakachenjera kupfuura shiri dzedenga.’
12 There they cry, and He does not answer, Because of the pride of evildoers.
Haapinduri kana vanhu vachiridza mhere, nokuda kwokuzvikudza kwavakaipa.
13 Surely God does not hear vanity, And the Mighty does not behold it.
Zvirokwazvo, Mwari haateereri chikumbiro chavo chisina maturo; Wamasimba Ose haazviteereri izvozvo.
14 Indeed, though you say you do not behold Him, Judgment [is] before Him, and stays for Him.
Ndoda, zvino, haangateereri kana uchiti hausi kumuona, mhaka yako iri pamberi pake zvokuti unofanira kumumirira,
15 And now, because there is not, He has appointed His anger, And He has not known in great extremity.
uyezve, kuti kutsamwa kwake hakumborangi, uye haana hanya zvake nezvakaipa.
16 And Job opens his mouth [with] vanity, He multiplies words without knowledge.”
Saka Jobho anoshamisa muromo wake achitaura zvisina maturo; anowanza mashoko ake asina zivo.”
