UJobe 11
1 UZofari umNahama wasephendula wathi:
Ipapo Zofari muNaamati akapindura akati:
2 “Uthi amazwi wonke la angayekelwa ukuphendulwa na? Uwawane lolu luyekelwe nje lubheda?
“Mashoko aya ose haangapindurwi here? Ko, mutauri uyu anofanira kushayirwa mhosva here?
3 Umbhedo wakho lo ungenza abantu bathule na? Uthi ungangakhuzwa muntu wena ukhulumela eceleni?
Ko, kubvotomoka kwako kunganyaradza vanhu here? Ko, pangashaya anokutsiura paunenge uchituka here?
4 Uthi kuNkulunkulu, ‘Inkolo yami kayilansolo njalo ngimsulwa phambi kwakho.’
Iwe unoti kuna Mwari, ‘Zvandinotenda zvakarurama uye ndakachena pamberi penyu.’
5 Oh, ngize ngifise ukuthi ngabe uNkulunkulu uyakhuluma, avule izindebe zakhe ekusola
Haiwa, ndinoda sei kuti dai Mwari ataura, kuti dai ashamisa hake muromo wake pamusoro pako,
6 akuvulele imfihlo zokuhlakanipha, ngoba inhlakanipho yeqiniso ikabili. Yazi lokhu: UNkulunkulu uvele usezikhohliwe ezinye izono zakho.
uye akuzarurire zvakavanzika zvouchenjeri, nokuti uchenjeri hwechokwadi huri paviri. Uzive izvi: Mwari akatokanganwa kare zvimwe zvivi zvako.
7 Kambe ungayifinyelela yini imfihlakalo kaNkulunkulu? Ungaziphenya iziphetho zikaSomandla na?
“Ko, unganzwisisa zvakavanzika zvaMwari here? Unganzwisisa panogumira Wamasimba Ose here?
8 Ziqongile ngaphezu kwamazulu, ungenzani kambe? Zizikile kulokujula kolwandle, kuyini ongakwazi pho? (Sheol h7585)
Zvakakwirira kupfuura matenga, iwe ungaiteiko? Zvakadzika kupfuura kudzika kwebwiro, iwe ungaziveiko? (Sheol h7585)
9 Ukulinganiswa kwazo kude kulomhlaba njalo kubanzi kulolwandle.
Chiero chazvo chakareba kupfuura nyika uye zvakapamhama kupfuura gungwa.
10 Nxa engeza lapha akuphosele entolongweni abize inkundla, ngubani ongamphikisa na?
“Kana iye akasvika akakupfigira mujeri uye akakoka dare remhosva, ndianiko angapikisana naye?
11 Liqiniso ukuthi uyababona abantu abakhohlisayo; njalo nxa ebona okubi, kananzeleli na?
Zvirokwazvo anoziva vanhu vanonyengera; uye paanoona chakaipa, anoshaya hanya here?
12 Kodwa umuntu oyisithutha ngeke ahlakaniphe njengoba ubabhemi weganga engeke azalwa ngumuntu.
Asi munhu asina kuchenjera haangagoni kuva akangwara sezvo zvisingagoneki kuti mwana wembizi angaberekwa nomunhu.
13 Kodwa nxa ugxilisa inhliziyo yakho kuye uphakamisele izandla zakho kuye,
“Asi kana mwoyo wako ukazvipira kwaari, uye ukatambanudzira maoko ako kwaari,
14 nxa ulahla isono esisesandleni sakho ungavumeli bubi buhlale ethenteni lakho,
kana ukaisa kure chivi chiri muruoko rwako, uye ukasatendera chakaipa kugara mutende rako,
15 lapho-ke uzabuveza ubuso bakho ungelanhloni; uzakuma uqine ungesabi.
ipapo uchasimudza chiso chako usina nyadzi, uchamira wakasimba uye usingatyi.
16 Uzalukhohlwa ngempela uhlupho lwakho, lufike nje engqondweni njengezikhukhula ezadlulayo.
Zvirokwazvo uchakanganwa nhamo yako, uchangoirangarira semvura yakaerera.
17 Impilo izakhanya kulemini enkulu, lobumnyama buzakuba njengasekuseni.
Upenyu huchajeka kupfuura masikati makuru, uye rima richaita samangwanani.
18 Uzavikeleka, ngoba ithemba likhona; uzakhangela ofuna khona uzuze ukuphumula uvikelekile.
Iwe uchagara zvakanaka, nokuti tariro iriko; ucharinga-ringa ugozorora murugare.
19 Uzazilalela, kungekho okwethusayo, njalo abanengi bazabe sebezisondeza kuwe.
Uchavata hako pasi, pasina munhu anokuvhundutsa, uye vazhinji vachakumbira nyasha dzako.
20 Kodwa amehlo ababi azafiphala, behluleke lokubaleka; ithemba labo libe yikuhotsha umoya wokufa.”
Asi meso avakaipa achaneta, uye vachashayiwa kwokutizira; tariro yavo ichava yokufa.”
