Job 17
1 Mi spirit schal be maad feble; my daies schulen be maad schort, and oneli the sepulcre is left to me.
Mweya wangu waputsika, mazuva angu aitwa mashoma, guva rakandimirira.
2 Y have not synned, and myn iye dwellith in bittirnessis.
Zvirokwazvo vaseki vakandipoteredza; meso angu anofanira kuramba akatarisa ruvengo rwavo.
3 Lord, delyuere thou me, and sette thou me bisidis thee; and the hond of ech fiyte ayens me.
“Ndipei, imi Mwari, chitsidzo chamunoda. Ndianiko achandiisira rubatso?
4 Thou hast maad the herte of hem fer fro doctryn, `ethir knowyng of treuthe; therfor thei schulen not be enhaunsid.
Makapofumadza ndangariro dzavo pakunzwisisa; naizvozvo hamungavatenderi kukunda.
5 He bihetith prey to felowis, and the iyen of hise sones schulen faile.
Kana munhu akaramba shamwari dzake nokuda kwomubayiro, meso avana vake achapofumara.
6 He hath set as in to a prouerbe of the comyn puple, and his saumple bifor hem.
“Mwari akandiita shumo kuvanhu vose, munhu anopfirwa mate kumeso kwake navanhu.
7 Myn `iye dasewide at indignacioun; and my membris ben dryuun as in to nouyt.
Meso angu aneta nokuchema; muviri wangu wose wangova mumvuri zvawo.
8 Iust men schulen wondre on this thing; and an innocent schal be reisid ayens an ypocrite.
Vanhu vakarurama vanokatyamadzwa nazvo; vasina mhaka vachamukira vasingadi Mwari.
9 And a iust man schal holde his weie, and he schal adde strengthe to clene hondis.
Kunyange zvakadaro, vakarurama vachabatirira panzira dzavo, uye vana maoko akachena vachanyanya kusimba.
10 Therfor alle `ye be conuertid, and come ye; and Y schal not fynde in you ony wiys man.
“Asi uyai, imi mose, edzaizve! Handingawani murume ane uchenjeri pakati penyu.
11 My daies ben passid; my thouytis ben scaterid, turmentynge myn herte.
Mazuva angu apfuura, urongwa hwangu hwaparadzwa, saizvozvowo zvishuvo zvomwoyo wangu.
12 Tho han turned the nyyt `in to day; and eft aftir derknessis hope liyt.
Vanhu ava vanoshandura usiku kuti huve masikati; mukati merima ivo vanoti, ‘Chiedza chiri pedyo.’
13 If Y `susteyne, ether suffre pacientli, helle is myn hous; and Y haue arayede my bed in derknessis. (Sheol h7585)
Kana musha wandinotarisira uri guva chete, kana ndikawaridzira mubhedha wangu murima, (Sheol h7585)
14 Y seide to rot, Thou art my fadur; and to wormes, Ye ben my modir and my sister.
kana ndikati kuuori, ‘Ndiwe baba vangu,’ nokuhonye ndikati, ‘Ndiwe mai vangu’ kana ‘Hanzvadzi yangu,’
15 Therfor where is now myn abidyng? and who biholdith my pacience?
ko, tariro yangu iripi zvino? Ndianiko angaona tariro yangu?
