UJobe 29
1 UJobe waqhubeka ngenkulumo yakhe wathi:
Jobho akapfuurira mberi nokutaura kwake achiti:
2 “Ngiyaziloyisa lezozinyanga esezadlulayo, lezinsuku uNkulunkulu esangilinda,
“Haiwa ndinoshuva sei mwedzi yakapfuura, iwo mazuva andairindirwa naMwari,
3 lapho isibane sakhe sisakhanyisa phezu kwekhanda lami ngihamba ngokukhanya kwakhe emnyameni!
mwenje wake pawaivhenekera pamusoro pangu uye ndaivhenekerwa nechiedza chake ndichifamba murima!
4 Oh, lezinsuku ngisazizwa ukuthi ngiyimi, lapho ubudlelwano obukhulu loNkulunkulu busesendlini yami,
Haiwa, iwo mazuva andakanga ndichine simba, ushamwari hwaMwari chaihwo huchiropafadza imba yangu,
5 lapho uSomandla eseselami labantwabami besaphila lami,
Wamasimba Ose paakanga achineni uye vana vangu pavakanga vakandipoteredza,
6 lapho indlela yami ifafazwe ngolaza ledwala lingithululela impophoma zamafutha e-oliva.
painyorovedzwa nzira yangu noruomba, uye dombo richindidururira hova dzamafuta omuorivhi.
7 Ekuyeni kwami emasangweni edolobho ngafika ngahlala enkundleni,
“Pandakaenda kusuo reguta ndikandogara muchivara,
8 amajaha angibona agudluka ema eceleni, abadala baphakama bema ngezinyawo;
majaya akandiona akatsaukira parutivi uye vatana vakasimuka;
9 amadoda ayizikhulu athula akaze akhuluma avala imilomo yawo ngezandla zawo;
vakuru vakaramba kutaura vakafumbira miromo yavo namaoko avo;
10 amazwi ezikhulu ehliselwa phansi, inlimi zazo zanamathela olwangeni lwazo.
manzwi avakuru akanyararidzwa, uye ndimi dzavo dzikanamira kumusoro kwemiromo yavo.
11 Loba ngubani owangizwayo wakhuluma kuhle ngami, kwathi labo abangibonayo bangibuka,
Vose vakandinzwa vakataura zvakanaka pamusoro pangu, uye vose vakandiona vakandirumbidza,
12 ngoba ngalamulela abayanga abacela uncedo, lezintandane ezazingelamsizi.
nokuti ndakanunura varombo vaichemera rubatsiro, uye nherera dzakanga dzisina anobatsira.
13 Indoda eyayisifa yangibusisa; ngenza inhliziyo yomfelokazi yahlabelela.
Munhu akanga ofa akandiropafadza; ndakaita kuti mwoyo wechirikadzi uimbe.
14 Ngavunula ukulunga njengezigqoko zami; ukwahlulela ngokulunga kwaba yisembatho sami lengwane yami.
Ndakafuka kururama sechipfeko changu; kururamisira kwaiva nguo yangu nenguwani yangu.
15 Ngangingamehlo kwabayiziphofu lezinyawo kwabaqhulayo.
Ndakanga ndiri meso kumapofu namakumbo kuzvirema.
16 Nganginguyise kwabaswelayo; ngayimela indaba yesihambi.
Ndakanga ndiri baba kuna vanoshayiwa; ndaimiririra mhaka yomutorwa.
17 Ngawephula amazinyo ababi ngahluthuna labo ababebabambile ngamazinyo abo.
Ndakavhuna meno emunhu akanga akaipa, ndikabvuta chaakanga akaruma.
18 Ngakhumbula ngathi, ‘Ngizafela endlini yami, insuku zami zinengi njengezinhlamvu zetshebetshebe.
“Ndakafunga kuti, ‘Ndichafira mumba mangu, mazuva angu awanda sejecha.
19 Impande zami zizafinyelela emanzini, amazolo azalala emagatsheni ubusuku bonke.
Midzi yangu ichasvika kumvura, uye dova richava pamatavi angu usiku hwose.
20 Udumo lwami luzahlala lulutsha kimi, idandili lami lilitsha esandleni sami.’
Kukudzwa kwangu kucharamba kuri kutsva pandiri, uta hucharamba huri hutsva muruoko rwangu.’
21 Abantu babengilalela belethemba, belindele ukwelulekwa bethule zwi.
“Vanhu vakanditeerera vachitarisira kwazvo, vanyerere vakamirira kurayira kwangu.
22 Nxa sekukhulume mina, kungakhulumi omunye njalo; amazwi ami ayengena kamnandi ezindlebeni zabo.
Shure kwokutaura kwangu, ivo havana kuzotaurazve; mashoko angu akawira panzeve dzavo zvinyoronyoro.
23 Babengilindela njengokulindela izulu, bawanathe amazwi ami njengezulu lentwasa.
Vakandimirira kunge vakamirira mvura yomupfunhambuya, uye vakanwa mashoko angu kunge mvura yechirimo.
24 Ngangisithi ngingababobothekela, bathabe bangakholwa; ukukhanya kobuso bami kwakuligugu kubo.
Pandakanyemwerera kwavari havana kuzvitenda; chiedza chechiso changu chaikosha kwavari.
25 Yimi engangibakhethela ukuthi benzeni ngoba ngisanduna kubo; ngangihlala njengenkosi phakathi kwamabutho ayo; ngangifana lomduduzi wabalilayo.”
Ndakavasarudzira nzira ini ndokugara saishe wavo; ndakagara samambo pakati pamauto ake; ndakanga ndakaita somunhu anonyaradza vanochema.
