UJobe 26

1 UJobe wasephendula wathi:

Ipapo Jobho akapindura akati:

2 “Usumsize njani ongelamandla! Usuyilamulele njani ingalo ebuthakathaka!

“Ndiweka wakabatsira vasina simba! Wakaponesa sei ruoko rwakarukutika!

3 Yiseluleko esinjani osusiphe lowo ongelakuhlakanipha! Njalo usubonise mbono bani!

Ndiweka wakapa zano kune asina uchenjeri! Ndiweka wakaratidza njere dzakakura kwazvo!

4 Ngubani okuncedisileyo ukukhuluma amazwi la na? Ngokabani umoya okhulume ngomlomo wakho na?

Ndianiko akakubatsira kutaura mashoko aya? Uye mweya waaniko wakataura kubva pamuromo wako?

5 Abafileyo basebuhlungwini obukhulu, labo abangaphansi kwamanzi lalabo abahlala kuwo.

“Vakafa vari pakushungurudzika kukuru, ivo vari pasi pemvura zhinji navose vanogara mairi.

6 UKufa kwambulekile phambi kukaNkulunkulu; ikhamisile indawo yokubhubha. (Sheol h7585)

Sheori yakashama pamberi paMwari; kuparadza hakuna kufukidzwa. (Sheol h7585)

7 Uyawendlala umkhathi wenyakatho endaweni engelalutho; aphanyeke umhlaba phezu kweze.

Anotambanudza matenga nechokumusoro panzvimbo isina chinhu; anorembedza nyika pasina chinhu.

8 Ugoqele amanzi emayezini akhe, kodwa amayezi kawapatshaki yikusindwa ngamanzi.

Anoputira mvura zhinji mumakore ake; asi makore acho haabvaruki nokuda kwokuremerwa.

9 Uyayigubuzela inyanga egcweleyo, endlale amayezi phezu kwayo.

Anofukidza chiso chomwedzi uzere, achiwarira makore ake pamusoro pawo.

10 Umisa umkhawulo wokwengama umkhathi emanzini kube ngumngcele phakathi kokukhanya lobumnyama.

Anotara muganhu pamberi pemvura zhinji, kuti ugova muganhu pakati pechiedza nerima.

11 Izinsika zamazulu ziyazamazama, zisethuswa yikukhuza kwakhe.

Mbiru dzokudenga dzinodengenyeka, dzichivhundutswa nokutuka kwake.

12 Ngamandla akhe waluthulisa ulwandle; ngenhlakanipho yakhe waquma uRahabi waba yiziqa.

Akaunganidza mvura dzegungwa nesimba rake; akagura-gura Rahabhi nenjere dzake.

13 Ngomoya wakhe umkhathi wacethula; isandla sakhe sayigwaza inyoka ibaleka.

Matenga akashongedzwa nokufema kwake; ruoko rwake rwakabaya nyoka inobhururuka.

14 Njalo le yimisebenzi yakhe engaphandle nje ekucineni; esikuzwayo yilizwana nje lokunyenyeza kwakhe! Pho ngubani ongawuzwisisa umdumo wamandla akhe na?”

Uye izvi ndiwo macheto oga ebasa rake; haiwa tinongonzwa kuzevezera kwake! Zvino ndianiko anganzwisisa kutinhira kwesimba rake?”
