UJobe 35
1 U-Elihu wasesithi:
Ipapo Erihu akati:
2 “Ukhumbula ukuthi lokhu kulungile yini? Uthi, ‘Ngizagezwa nguNkulunkulu.’
“Unofunga kuti izvi zvakarurama here? Iwe zvaunoti, ‘Ndichanzi ndakarurama naMwari.’
3 Kodwa uyambuza uthi, ‘Kungisiza ngani lokhu na, njalo ngizuzani ngokungenzi isono?’
Kunyange zvakadaro unomubvunza uchiti, ‘Zvinondibatsirei, uye ndinowaneiko nokusatadza.’
4 Ngithanda ukukuphendula kanye labangane bakho abalapha.
“Ndinoda kupindura iwe neshamwari dzako dzaunadzo.
5 Ake ukhangele emazulwini ubone; khangela amayezi aphakeme kangaka ngaphezu kwakho.
Tarira kumatenga uone; nanʼanidza makore ari pamusoro pako.
6 Ungaze wenze isono, lokho kumthinta ngani na? Nxa izono zakho zizinengi, kwenzani lokho kuye na?
Kana ukatadza, zvinomurwadza zvakadiniko? Kana zvivi zvako zvikawanda, zvinoita sei kwaari?
7 Nxa ulungile, kuyini omnika khona wena na, kumbe yena wamukelani esandleni sakho?
Kana wakarurama, unomupeiko iye, kana kuti anogamuchireiko kubva muruoko rwako?
8 Ububi bakho bulimaza kuphela umuntu onjengawe, lokulunga kwakho kuthinta amadodana abantu kuphela.
Kuipa kwako kunongobata munhu akaita sewe, uye kururama kwako ndekwomwanakomana wavanhu chete.
9 Abantu bayakhala ngomthwalo wokuncindezelwa; bacela ukuphunyuzwa ezingalweni zalabo abalamandla.
“Vanhu vanoridza mhere vari pasi pomutoro wokumanikidzwa; vanokumbira kusunungurwa kubva muruoko rwoune simba.
10 Kodwa kakho othi, ‘Ungaphi uNkulunkulu uMenzi wami na, opha amahubo ebusuku,
Asi hakuna munhu anoti, ‘Aripiko Mwari Muiti wangu, anopa nziyo panguva yousiku,
11 osifundisayo thina kulezinyamazana zalapha emhlabeni asenze sihlakaniphe kulezinyoni zasemoyeni?’
anodzidzisa zvakawanda kwatiri kupfuura mhuka dzenyika uye anotiita vakachenjera kupfuura shiri dzedenga.’
12 Kaphenduli nxa abantu bebiza ngenxa yokuziphakamisa kwababi.
Haapinduri kana vanhu vachiridza mhere, nokuda kwokuzvikudza kwavakaipa.
13 Ngempela uNkulunkulu kakulaleli ukuncenga kwabo kwamanga; uSomandla kayilaleli into enjalo.
Zvirokwazvo, Mwari haateereri chikumbiro chavo chisina maturo; Wamasimba Ose haazviteereri izvozvo.
14 Kuzakuba njani pho, angakulalela nxa usithi kawumboni, usithi indaba yakho iphambi kwakhe ngakho kuzamele ulinde yena,
Ndoda, zvino, haangateereri kana uchiti hausi kumuona, mhaka yako iri pamberi pake zvokuti unofanira kumumirira,
15 njalo futhi, ukuthi ulaka lwakhe kalujezisi njalo akabunanzi lakancane ububi.
uyezve, kuti kutsamwa kwake hakumborangi, uye haana hanya zvake nezvakaipa.
16 Yikho uJobe evula umlomo wakhe ekhuluma ize; ngokuswela ulwazi wandisa amazwi.”
Saka Jobho anoshamisa muromo wake achitaura zvisina maturo; anowanza mashoko ake asina zivo.”
