UJobe 21
1 Wasephendula uJobe wathi:
Ipapo Jobho akapindura akati:
2 Zwanini lilalele ilizwi lami, lalokho kube zinduduzo zenu.
“Teereresa mashoko angu; uku ngakuve kunyaradza kwaunondipa.
3 Ngibekezelelani, ukuthi mina ngikhulume; lemva kokukhuluma kwami lingakloloda.
Ndiitire mwoyo murefu ndichitaura hangu, uye kana ndapedza kutaura, urambe uchiseka hako.
4 Mina-ke ukusola kwami kusemuntwini yini? Kodwa uba kunjalo, kungani umoya wami ungekhathazeke?
“Ko, kunyunyuta kwangu kwakanangana nomunhu here? Ndingatadza seiko kuora mwoyo?
5 Ngikhangelani, likhakhamale, libeke isandla phezu komlomo.
Nditarire ushamiswe; ufumbire muromo wako noruoko.
6 Yebo, lapho ngikhumbula, ngitshaywa luvalo, lokuthuthumela kubamba inyama yami.
Ndinotya, pandinofunga izvi; kudedera kunobata muviri wangu.
7 Ababi baphilelani, babe badala, yebo, bakhule emandleni?
Nemhaka yeiko vakaipa vachirarama, vachikwegura uye vachiwedzerwa simba?
8 Inzalo yabo izinze phambi kwabo kanye labo, lembewu yabo emehlweni abo.
Vanoona vana vavo vachikura ivo vachiri vapenyu, zvizvarwa zvavo pamberi pavo.
9 Izindlu zabo zilokuthula kungelakwesaba, loswazi lukaNkulunkulu kaluphezu kwabo.
Misha yavo igere zvakanaka uye haina chainotya; shamhu yaMwari haisi pamusoro pavo.
10 Inkunzi yakhe iyakhwela ingaphuthi; inkomokazi yakhe iyazala, ingaphunzi.
Hando dzavo hadzikonewi kubereka, mhou dzavo dzinobereka mhuru dzisingasvodzi.
11 Bakhupha abantwanyana babo njengomhlambi, labantwana babo bayagida.
Vanobudisa vana vavo seboka ramakwai; vapwere vavo vanopembera vachitamba.
12 Baphakamisa ilizwi ngesigujana lechacho, bathokoze ngelizwi lomhlanga.
Vanoimba vachiridzirwa tambureni nembira; vanofarira kurira kwenyere.
Vanopedza makore avo mukubudirira uye vanopinda muguva nenguva isipi. (Sheol h7585)
14 Babesebesithi kuNkulunkulu: Suka kithi; ngoba kasifisi ulwazi lwendlela zakho.
Kunyange zvakadaro vanoti kuna Mwari, ‘Tisiyei takadaro! Hatina hanya nokuziva nzira dzenyu.
15 Uyini uSomandla ukuthi simkhonze? Sizazuzani uba simncenga?
Wamasimba Ose ndianiko, kuti timushumire? Tinowaneiko kana tikamunamata?’
16 Khangela, okuhle kwabo kakukho esandleni sabo; icebo lababi likhatshana lami.
Asi kubudirira kwavo hakusi mumaoko avo, naizvozvo ndinomira kure nerangano yevakaipa.
17 Kukangaki isibane sababi sicitshwa, kusiza ukuchitheka kwabo phezu kwabo! UNkulunkulu ubabela ubuhlungu elakeni lwakhe.
“Kunyange zvakadaro, kanganiko kanodzimwa mwenje wevakaipa? Kanganiko vachiwirwa nenjodzi, magumo anotarwa naMwari mukutsamwa kwake?
18 Banjengamahlanga phambi komoya, lanjengomule isiphepho esiwuphephulayo.
Vanofanana namakoto anopeperetswa nemhepo runganiko, sehundi inokukurwa nedutu?
19 UNkulunkulu ubekela abantwana bakhe usizi lwakhe. Uyamvuza, njalo uzakwazi.
Zvinonzi, ‘Mwari anochengetera vana vomunhu kutongwa.’ Ngaamutsive iye amene, kuitira kuti agozviziva!
20 Amehlo akhe azabona ukuchitheka kwakhe, anathe okolaka lukaSomandla.
Meso ake pachake ngaaone kuparadzwa kwake; iye ngaanwe kutsamwa kwoWamasimba Ose.
21 Ngoba iyini intokozo yakhe endlini yakhe emva kwakhe, lapho inani lenyanga zakhe liqunywa?
Nokuti ane hanya yeiko nemhuri yaanosiya shure, mwedzi yaakagoverwa zvoyopera?
22 Kukhona ongafundisa uNkulunkulu ulwazi yini? Ngoba yena wehlulela abaphezulu.
“Ko, pane munhu angagona kudzidzisa ruzivo kuna Mwari here, iye achitonga kunyange vari pamusoro-soro?
23 Lo uyafa esemandleni akhe apheleleyo, yena wonke onwabile, elokuthula.
Mumwe munhu anofa achine simba rake rizere, akachengetedzeka uye akagadzikana,
24 Iziphathelo zakhe zigcwele uchago, lomnkantsho wamathambo akhe umanzi.
muviri wake wakagwinya, mapfupa ake azere nomwongo.
25 Lomunye ufa elomphefumulo obabayo, engadlanga kokuhle.
Mumwe munhu anofa ane shungu dzomwoyo, asina kumbonakidzwa nezvipi zvazvo zvakanaka.
26 Balala ndawonye ethulini, lempethu zibasibekele.
Vanovata muguruva pamwe chete, uye honye dzinovafukidza vose.
27 Khangelani, ngiyayazi imicabango yenu, lamacebo eliwaceba limelene lami.
“Ndinoziva chose zvamunofunga, iwo mano amungandikanganisa nawo.
28 Ngoba lithi: Ingaphi indlu yesiphathamandla? Njalo lingaphi ithente lendawo zababi zokuhlala?
Imi munoti, ‘Imba yomunhu mukuru iripiko zvino, iwo matende aigarwa navanhu vakaipa?’
29 Kalibabuzanga yini abadlula ngendlela, njalo kalinanzeleli iziboniso zabo?
Hauna kumbobvunza vafambi vaya here? Hauna kuva nehanya nenhoroondo dzavo here,
30 Ukuthi omubi uyekelwa osukwini lokubhujiswa; bazalethwa osukwini lwezintukuthelo.
dzokuti munhu akaipa anodarikwa pazuva renjodzi, kuti anorwirwa pazuva rokutsamwa?
31 Ngubani ozamtshela indlela yakhe ebusweni? Ngubani ozamphindisela ngakwenzileyo?
Ndianiko anotsoropodza mafambiro ake pachena? Ndianiko anomuripira pane zvaakaita?
32 Kanti yena uzasiwa engcwabeni, lilindwe idundulu.
Iye anotakurwa achiendeswa kuguva, uye rinda rake rinorindwa.
33 Amagade esihotsha amnandi kuye, njalo udonsa wonke umuntu emva kwakhe, njengoba bengelakubalwa abaphambi kwakhe.
Ivhu romunhika rinotapira kwaari; vanhu vose vanomutevera, uye anotungamirirwa navazhinji vasingaverengeki.
34 Pho lizangiduduza njani ngeze, ngoba empendulweni zenu kusele inkohliso?
“Saka mungandinyaradza sei nezvisina maturo? Hapana chasara pakupindura kwenyu asi nhema dzoga!”
