UJobe 23
1 Wasephendula uJobe wathi:
Ipapo Jobho akapindura akati:
2 Lalamuhla isikhalazo sami silokubaba; isandla sami sinzima phezu kokububula kwami.
“Kunyange nanhasi ndinonyunyuta ndine shungu; ruoko rwake runondiremera kunyange ndiri pakugomera kwangu.
3 Kungathi ngabe ngiyazi lapho engingamthola khona! Bengingeza enkundleni yakhe!
Dai chete ndaiziva kwandingamuwana; dai chete ndaigona kuenda kwaanogara!
4 Ngibeke kuhle udaba lwami phambi kwakhe, ngigcwalise umlomo wami ngokuphikisa.
Ndaitaura hangu mhaka yangu pamberi pake, uye ndaizadza muromo wangu nenharo.
5 Bengingawazi amazwi azangiphendula ngawo, ngiqedisise azakutsho kimi.
Ndaizoziva hangu zvaaizondipindura, uye ndaizocherechedza zvaaizoreva.
6 Uzaphikisana lami ngobukhulu bamandla yini? Hatshi, kodwa uzabeka inhliziyo yakhe kimi.
Kuti aizondidzivisa nesimba guru here? Kwete, haaizondipomera mhaka.
7 Lapho oqotho angaphikisana laye; ngakho bengizaphepha phakade kumahluleli wami.
Ipapo munhu akarurama aigona kuzotaura mhaka yake pamberi pake, uye ndaizosunungurwa kubva pamutongi wangu nokusingaperi.
8 Khangelani ngiya phambili, kodwa kakho, lemuva, kodwa kangimboni.
“Asi kana ndikaenda kumabvazuva, iye haako; kana ndikaenda kumavirira, handimuwani.
9 Ngakwesokhohlo ekusebenzeni kwakhe, kodwa kangimboni; uyacatsha ngakwesokunene, kodwa kangimboni.
Paanenge ari pabasa nechokumusoro, handimuoni; paanotsaukira zasi, handikwanisi kumuona.
10 Kanti uyayazi indlela elami; kangihlole, ngizaphuma njengegolide.
Asi iye anoziva nzira yandinofamba nayo; kana apedza kundiedza, ndichabuda ndava segoridhe.
11 Unyawo lwami lubambelele enyathelweni lakhe, ngiyigcinile indlela yakhe, kangiphambukanga.
Tsoka dzangu dzakanyatsotevera paakatsika; ndakarambira panzira dzake ndisingambotsaukiri parutivi.
12 Kangisukanga lemlayweni wezindebe zakhe, ngawalondoloza amazwi omlomo wakhe okwedlula isabelo sami.
Handina kumbobva pamirayiro yemiromo yake; ndakakoshesa mashoko omuromo wake kupfuura chingwa changu chamazuva ose.
13 Kodwa yena ukokukodwa, ngubani-ke ongambuyisela emuva? Lokho umphefumulo wakhe okufisayo uyakwenza.
“Asi iye anomira oga, uye ndiani angapikisana naye? Anoita zvaanoda.
14 Ngoba uzaphelelisa engikumiselweyo; lezinto ezinengi ezinjalo zikuye.
Anoita zvaakatema pamusoro pangu, uye urongwa huzhinji hwakadai achinahwo mudura rake.
15 Ngenxa yalokho ngitshaywa luvalo phambi kwakhe; ngicabanga, ngiyamesaba.
Ndokusaka ndichitya pamberi pake; pandinofunga nezvose izvi, ndomutya.
16 Ngoba uNkulunkulu wenze inhliziyo yami yaphela amandla, loSomandla ungethusile.
Mwari akaita kuti mwoyo wangu unete; Wamasimba Ose akandivhundutsa.
17 Ngoba kangiqunywanga phambi komnyama, wagubuzela ubumnyama ebusweni bami.
Kunyange zvakadaro rima harina kuita kuti ndinyarare, iro rima guru rinofukidza chiso changu.
