UJobe 13

1 “Amehlo ami asekubonile konke lokhu, indlebe zami zikuzwile zakuqedisisa lokhu.

“Meso angu akaona izvi zvose, nzeve dzangu dzakanzwa dzikazvinzwisisa.

2 Elikwaziyo lina lami ngiyakwazi; kalingcono ngalutho kulami.

Zvamunoziva imi, neniwo ndinozviziva; handisi muduku kwamuri.

3 Kodwa ngiloyisa ukukhuluma loSomandla, ngiphikisane loNkulunkulu ngendaba yami.

Asi ndinoshuva kutaura naWamasimba Ose uye ndigozvidavirira nyaya yangu kuna Mwari.

4 Kodwa lina lingigcona ngamanga; lonke lizinyanga ezingelamsebenzi!

Kunyange zvakadaro, imi munondizora nhema; muri varapi vasina maturo, imi mose!

5 Thulani lithi zwi lonke! Lokho kungaba yikuhlakanipha kini.

Haiwa, dai bedzi mainyarara henyu! Nokuti hungava uchenjeri kwamuri.

6 Zwanini-ke manje engikutshoyo; lalelani ukuncenga kwezindebe zami.

Chinzwai zvino kuzvidavirira kwangu; teererai munzwe kudemba kwemiromo yangu.

7 Lingakhuluma okubi limele uNkulunkulu na? Lingamkhulumela inkohliso na?

Ko, mungataura zvakaipa muchimiririra Mwari here? Ko, mungataura zvinonyengera muchiti matumwa naye here?

8 Limtshengisa ukuthi liyabandlulula yini? Yini elimkhulumelayo uNkulunkulu akutshoyo?

Mungamuitira rusaruro here? Mungamiririra Mwari here?

9 Kungalilungela yini nxa engalihlola? Kambe lingamkhohlisa njengoba lingakhohlisa abantu na?

Ko, zvingabuda zvakanaka here kana akakuedzai? Ko, mungamunyengera sokunyengera kwamunoita vanhu here?

10 Ngempela angaligcona nxa lingabe litshengisa ukubandlulula.

Zvirokwazvo iye angakutsiurai kana mukaratidza rusaruro muchivande.

11 Inkazimulo yakhe ingezake ilethuse na? Ukwesabeka kwakhe kungezake kulehlele na?

Ko, kubwinya kwake hakungakutyisei here? Ko, kutyisa kwake hakungawiri pamusoro penyu here?

12 Izitsho zenu ziyizaga zomlotha; lezivikelo zenu yizivikelo zebumba kuphela.

Mashoko enyu anotendwa itsumo dzamadota; nhare dzenyu inhare dzevhu.

13 Thulani ngikhulume mina; kungivelele loba kuyini okuvelayo.

“Nyararai uye regai nditaure; ipapo chinouya kwandiri ngachiuye hacho.

14 Ngizifakelani engozini na ngiphathe impilo yami ezandleni zami?

Ko, ndinozviisirei munjodzi ndichibatira upenyu hwangu mumaoko angu?

15 Lanxa engangibulala kodwa ngizakwala ngimethemba; ngizazivikela izindlela zami phambi kwakhe.

Kunyange akandiuraya hake, asi ini ndichavimba naye; zvirokwazvo ndichadzivirira nzira dzangu pamberi pake.

16 Ngeqiniso lokhu kuzangihlenga, ngoba kakho umuntu ongakholwayo ongasondela kuye!

Zvirokwazvo, uku ndiko kuchava kuponeswa kwangu, nokuti hakuna munhu asina umwari achasvika pamberi pake!

17 Ake lilalele kuhle amazwi ami; vulani indlebe zenu lizwe engikutshoyo.

Teereresai kumashoko angu, nzeve dzenyu ngadzigamuchire zvandinoreva.

18 Manje-ke njengoba sengiyilungisile indaba yami, ngiyabona ukuthi ngizakhululwa.

Zvino ndagadzirisa nyaya yangu, ndinoziva kuti ndichashayirwa mhosva.

19 Ngubani kambe ongangethesa icala? Nxa ekhona, ngizathula ngife.

Pane angagona kundipa mhaka here? Kana aripo, ndichanyarara ndigofa hangu.

20 Akungiphe lezizinto ezimbili nje, Oh Nkulunkulu, lapho-ke angiyikukucatshela:

“Haiwa Mwari, nditsidzirei hangu zvinhu zviviri izvi. Uye ipapo handingavandi pamberi penyu.

21 Sisusele khatshana lami isandla sakho, ukhawule ukungethusa ngokwesabeka kwakho.

Bvisai ruoko rwenyu rwuve kure neni, uye murege kundivhundutsa nokutyisa kwenyu.

22 Ubusungibizela ecaleni, ngizaphendula, kumbe ungiyekele ngikhulume, lawe uphendule.

Ipapo mukandidana ndichadavira. Kana kuti murege nditaure, imi mugopindura.

23 Sengenze iziphambeko lezono ezinganani na? Ngitshengisa isiphambeko sami lesono sami.

Zvivi zvandakaita nezvikanganiso zvangu zvinganiko? Ndiratidzei kudarika kwangu nechivi changu.

24 Kungani ufihla ubuso bakho ungithathe njengesitha sakho?

Munovanzireiko chiso chenyu muchindiona somuvengi wenyu?

25 Uzahluphana lehlamvu eliphetshulwa ngumoya na? Uzaxotshana lomule owomileyo na?

Ko, muchatambudza shizha rinopeperetswa nemhepo here? Ko, muchadzingana nehundi yakaoma here?

26 Ngoba ubhala izinto ezibuhlungu ngami ungenze ngivune izono zobutsha bami.

Nokuti munonyora zvinhu zvinovava pamusoro pangu, uye munondigarisa nhaka yezvivi zvoujaya hwangu.

27 Ukhina inyawo zami ngezibopho; ulandelela zonke izindlela zami ngokudweba uphawu ezinyathelweni zezinyawo zami.

Munosunga tsoka dzangu nezvisungo; munocherechedza nzira dzangu dzose nokuisa mutaro panotsika tsoka dzangu.

28 Yikho-ke umuntu ecikizeka njengento ebolileyo, njengesigqoko esidliwe yinondo.”

“Saizvozvo munhu anopera kufanana nechinhu chakaora, senguo yakadyiwa nezvipfukuto.
