Job 14
1 Man, that is born of woman, Is of few days, and full of trouble.
“Munhu akazvarwa nomukadzi ane mazuva mashoma azere nokutambudzika.
2 He cometh forth as a flower, and is cut down; He fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
Anobuda seruva agosvava; anotiza somumvuri, haagari.
3 And dost thou fix thine eyes upon such a one? And dost thou bring me into judgment with thee?
Ko, munotarisisa munhu akadai here? Ko, muchamuuyisa kuzotongwa pamberi penyu here?
4 Who can produce a clean thing from an unclean? Not one.
Ndianiko angabudisa chinhu chakachena kubva pane chine tsvina? Hakuna!
5 Seeing that his days are determined, And the number of his months, with thee, And that thou hast appointed him bounds which he cannot pass,
Mazuva omunhu akatarwa; makatema kuwanda kwemwedzi yake, mukamutarira miganhu yaasingagoni kudarika.
6 O turn thine eyes from him, and let him rest, That he may enjoy, as a hireling, his day!
Naizvozvo regai kumutarisa uye mumusiye ari oga, kusvikira apedza nguva yake somunhu anoshanda.
7 For there is hope for a tree, If it be cut down, that it will sprout again, And that its tender branches will not fail;
“Asi kumuti kune tariro: Kana ukatemwa, unobukirazve, uye mabukira awo matsva haasvavi.
8 Though its root may have grown old in the earth, And though its trunk be dead upon the ground,
Midzi yawo ingava yakwegura hayo muvhu uye hunde yawo ichifa muvhu,
9 Through the scent of water it will bud, And put forth boughs, like a young plant.
asi uchabukira pakunhuhwira kwemvura ugomera somuti uchangotanga kumera.
10 But man dieth, and he is gone! Man expireth, and where is he?
Asi munhu anofa agoradzikwa pasi; anofema kokupedzisira uye haazovapozve.
11 The waters fail from the lake; And the stream wasteth and drieth up;
Sokupera kunoita mvura mugungwa, kana kupwa nokuoma kworwizi,
12 So man lieth down, and riseth not; Till the heavens be no more, he shall not awake, Nor be roused from his sleep.
saizvozvo munhu anovata pasi asingazomuki; kusvikira matenga asisiko, vanhu havazomukizve kana kumutswa pakuvata kwavo.
13 O that thou wouldst hide me in the under-world! That thou wouldst conceal me till thy wrath be past! That thou wouldst appoint me a time, and then remember me! (Sheol h7585)
“Haiwa, dai mandiviga henyu muguva chete, uye mandiviga kusvikira kutsamwa kwenyu kwapfuura! Dai chete manditarira nguva, uye ipapo mugondirangarira! (Sheol h7585)
14 If a man die, can he live again? All the days of my war-service would I wait, Till my change should come.
Kana munhu akafa, angazoraramazve here? Mazuva ose okushanda kwangu kwakaoma, ndicharindira kusvikira kuvandudzwa kwangu kwasvika.
15 Thou wilt call, and I will answer thee; Thou wilt have compassion upon the work of thy hands!
Muchadana uye ini ndichakupindurai; muchashuva chisikwa chamakaita namaoko enyu.
16 But now thou numberest my steps; Thou watchest over my sins.
Zvirokwazvo muchaverenga nhambwe dzangu ipapo, asi musingarondi chivi changu.
17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag; Yea, thou addest unto my iniquity.
Kudarika kwangu kuchasungirwa musaga; muchafukidzira chivi changu.
18 As the mountain falling cometh to nought, And the rock is removed from its place;
“Asi sokupfupfunyuka kunoita gomo rigoondomoka, uye sokubviswa kwedombo panzvimbo yaro,
19 As the waters wear away the stones, And the floods wash away the dust of the earth, So thou destroyest the hope of man.
semvura inochera mabwe, uye sokuyerera kwemvura zhinji inokukura ivhu, saizvozvo munoparadza tariro yomunhu.
20 Thou prevailest against him continually, and he perisheth; Thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
Munomukunda kamwe chete zvachose, uye akasazovapo; munoshandura chiso chake mobva mamudzinga.
21 His sons come to honor, but he knoweth it not; Or they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not.
Kana vanakomana vake vachikudzwa, iye haazvizivi; kana vakadzikisirwa pasi, iye haazvioni.
22 But his flesh shall have pain for itself alone; For itself alone shall his soul mourn.
Anongonzwa kurwadza kwomuviri wake chete, agozvichema iye pachake bedzi.”
