< UJobe 34 >

1 U-Elihu waqhubeka esithi:
Ipapo Erihu akati:
2 “Zwanini amazwi ami, lina madoda ahlakaniphileyo; lalelani kimi, lina madoda ayizifundiswa.
“Inzwai mashoko angu, imi vanhu vakachenjera; nditeererei, imi vanhu vedzidzo.
3 Phela indlebe iyawahlola amazwi njengolimi lunambitha ukudla.
Nokuti nzeve inoedza mazwi sokuravira kunoita rurimi chokudya.
4 Asizihluzeleni thina okulungileyo; kasifundeni ndawonye okuhle.
Ngatinzverei pachedu kuti chakarurama ndechipi; ngatidzidzei pamwe chete kuti chakanaka ndechipi.
5 UJobe uthi, ‘Kangilacala, kodwa uNkulunkulu kangahluleli ngokulunga.
“Jobho anoti, ‘Handina mhosva, asi Mwari anoramba kundiruramisira.
6 Loba mina ngiqondile, kuthiwa ngilamanga; loba ngingelacala, umtshoko wakhe ungihlaba isilonda esingelaphekiyo.’
Kunyange ndakarurama, ndinonzi ndiri murevi wenhema; kunyange ndisina mhaka, museve wake unobaya ronda risingarapiki.’
7 UJobe kanti ungumuntu bani, onatha ukuklolodela njengamanzi?
Ndianiko munhu akaita saJobho, anonwa kushorwa semvura?
8 Uzwanana labantu abenza ububi; uhambisana labantu ababi.
Anofambidzana navanoita zvakaipa; anowirirana navanhu vakaipa.
9 Ngoba uthi, ‘Umuntu kakumsizi ngalutho ukuzama ukuthokozisa uNkulunkulu.’
Nokuti anoti, ‘Munhu haana chaanobatsirwa nacho, paanoedza kufadza Mwari.’
10 Ngakho lalelani kimi lina madoda azwisisayo. Kakube khatshana laye uNkulunkulu ukwenza ububi, khatshana kukaSomandla ukona.
“Saka nditeererei, imi vanhu vokunzwisisa. Mwari haangatongoiti zvakaipa, Wamasimba Ose haangatongokanganisi.
11 Uyamphindisela umuntu ngalokho akwenzileyo; umehlisela lokho okufanele ukuziphatha kwakhe.
Anoripira munhu pane zvaanenge aita; anoisa pamusoro pake zvakakodzera mafambiro ake.
12 Kakungeni engqondweni ukuthi uNkulunkulu angenza ububi, ukuthi uSomandla angakutshila ukwahlulela ngokulunga.
Hazvingatongogoni kuti Mwari angaita zvakaipa, kuti Wamasimba Ose angaminamisa kururamisira.
13 Ngubani owambekayo phezu komhlaba na? Ngubani owathi kalawule umhlaba wonke na?
Ndianiko akamugadza pamusoro penyika? Ndianiko akamuita mutariri wepasi pose?
14 Aluba wayengathanda asuse umoya wakhe lokuphefumula,
Kana kwaiva kufunga kwake, uye akatora mweya wake nokufema kwake,
15 bonke abantu babengatshabalala kanyekanye, umuntu wayezabuyela othulini.
marudzi ose avanhu aiparara pamwe chete, uye munhu aizodzokerazve kuguruva.
16 Nxa lilokuzwisisa, zwanini lokhu; lalelani lokhu engikutshoyo.
“Kana uchinzwisisa teerera izvi; chinzwa zvandinoreva.
17 Kambe lowo ozonda ukwahlulela ngokulunga angabusa na? Liyamlahla yini Yena oqotho njalo olamandla?
Ko, munhu anovenga kururamisira angatonga here? Ko, muchapomera akarurama uye ane simba here?
18 Kayisuye yini othi emakhosini, ‘Kalisizi lutho,’ athi kwabayizikhulu, ‘Libabi,’
Ko, haazi iye anoti kumadzimambo, ‘Hamubatsiri imi,’ uye kumakurukota, ‘Makaipa imi,’
19 ongatshengisi ukwazisa amakhosana kulabanye loba athande abanothileyo kulabayanga, ngoba bonke bangumsebenzi wezandla zakhe?
asingaitiri machinda zvakanaka nokuti machinda, uye asingaitiri zvakanaka vapfumi kupfuura varombo, nokuti vose ibasa ramaoko ake?
20 Bayafa nje masinyane, loba phakathi kobusuku; abantu bayanyikinywa bedlule; abalamandla bayasuswa kungelasandla somuntu.
Vanofa kamwe kamwe, pakati pousiku; vanhu vanovhundutswa vagoparara; vane simba vanobviswa zvisingaitwi noruoko rwomunhu.
21 Amehlo akhe aphezu kwezindlela zabantu; ubona zonke izinyathelo zabo.
“Meso ake ari panzira dzavanhu; anoona nhambwe imwe neimwe yavo.
22 Akulandawo emnyama loba ithunzi elisithileyo, lapho abenzi bobubi abangacatsha khona.
Hakuna nzvimbo ine rima, hakuna mumvuri wakadzama, pangavanda vaiti vezvakaipa.
23 UNkulunkulu kasweli ukuthi aphinde abahlolisise abantu, ukuze abalethe ekwahlulelweni phambi kwakhe.
Mwari haanei nezvokuedzazve vanhu, kuti vauye vamire pamberi pake vagotongwa.
24 Engaqalanga wahlola uyabaphahlaza abalamandla abeke abanye endaweni yabo.
Anoparadza vane simba asina kumbobvunza, agogadza vamwe panzvimbo yavo.
25 Ngoba ezinanzelela izenzo zabo, uyabagenqula ebusuku bahlifizeke.
Nokuti anocherechedza mabasa avo, anovabvisa usiku uye vanopwanyiwa.
26 Uyabajezisa ngenxa yobubi babo kube segcekeni emuntwini wonke,
Anovaranga nokuda kwokuipa kwavo, pavanoonekwa nomunhu wose,
27 ngoba baphambuka ekumlandeleni abaze banaka layiphi indlela yakhe.
nokuti vakatsauka pakumutevera uye havana kuva nehanya kana neimwe yenzira dzake.
28 Benza ukukhala kwabayanga kweza phambi kwakhe, laye wakuzwa ukukhala kwabasweleyo.
Vakakonzera kuchema kwavarombo kuti kusvike pamberi pake, zvokuti akanzwa kuchema kwavanoshayiwa.
29 Kodwa nxa elokhu ezithulele, ngubani ongamsola na? Angafihla ubuso bakhe ngubani ongambona na? Kanti uphezu komuntu lesizwe ngokufanayo,
Asi kana akaramba anyerere ndiani angamupa mhosva? Kana akavanza chiso chake, ndianiko angamuona? Zvakadaro iye ari pamusoro pazvose, munhu nendudzi,
30 ukwalela ongamesabiyo uNkulunkulu ukuthi abuse, ukuze angafakeli abantu izifu.
kuti abvise munhu asina umwari pakutonga, kuti asaisira vanhu misungo.
31 Akesithi umuntu athi kuNkulunkulu, ‘Ngilecala kodwa kangisayikona njalo.
“Ngatiti munhu oti kuna Mwari, ‘Ndine mhaka asi handichatadzazve.
32 Ngifundisa lokho engingakuboniyo; nxa ngenze okubi, kangisayikuphinda ngikwenze.’
Ndidzidzisei zvandisingagoni kuona; kana ndakaita zvakaipa, handichazviitizve.’
33 Pho uNkulunkulu akuvuze ngokwentando yakho na, wena usala ukuphenduka? Kumele ukhethe wena, hatshi mina; ngakho ngitshela lokho okwaziyo.
Ko, Mwari angafanira kukupa mubayiro sezvaunoda iwe here, zvaunoramba kutendeuka? Unofanira kusarudza iwe, kwete ini; saka nditaurire zvaunoziva.
34 Amadoda alokuqedisisa azakutsho, amadoda ahlakaniphileyo abangizwayo ngisithi kini,
“Imi vanhu vokunzwisisa taurai, vanhu vakachenjera munondinzwa muti kwandiri,
35 ‘UJobe ukhuluma engelalwazi; amazwi akhe kawalambono.’
‘Jobho anotaura asina zivo; mashoko ake haana uchenjeri.’
36 Oh, uJobe angasake alingwe ngokweqileyo ngoba uphendule njengomuntu omubi!
Haiwa, dai Jobho aedzwa kusvikira pakupedzisira, nokuti anopindura somunhu akaipa!
37 Phezu kwesono sakhe wengeza ukuhlamuka; uyakloloda ngokuqakeza izandla zakhe phakathi kwethu andise amazwi akhe aphikisa uNkulunkulu.”
Pachivi chake anowedzera kumukira; anouchira maoko ake pakati pedu sezvisina basa, uye anowedzera mashoko ake okurwa naMwari.”
