UJobe 26
1 Wasephendula uJobe wathi:
Ipapo Jobho akapindura akati:
2 Umsize njani ongelamandla, wasindisa ingalo engelamandla?
“Ndiweka wakabatsira vasina simba! Wakaponesa sei ruoko rwakarukutika!
3 Umeluleke njani ongelakuhlakanipha, watshumayela ngobunengi ulwazi oluqotho?
Ndiweka wakapa zano kune asina uchenjeri! Ndiweka wakaratidza njere dzakakura kwazvo!
4 Utshele bani amazwi? Njalo ngumoya kabani ophume kuwe?
Ndianiko akakubatsira kutaura mashoko aya? Uye mweya waaniko wakataura kubva pamuromo wako?
5 Abafileyo bayathuthumela ngaphansi kwamanzi, labahlali bawo.
“Vakafa vari pakushungurudzika kukuru, ivo vari pasi pemvura zhinji navose vanogara mairi.
Sheori yakashama pamberi paMwari; kuparadza hakuna kufukidzwa. (Sheol h7585)
7 Welulela inyakatho phezu kwendawo engelalutho, aphanyeke umhlaba phezu kweze.
Anotambanudza matenga nechokumusoro panzvimbo isina chinhu; anorembedza nyika pasina chinhu.
8 Uyabophela amanzi emayezini akhe, kodwa amayezi kawadabuki ngaphansi kwawo.
Anoputira mvura zhinji mumakore ake; asi makore acho haabvaruki nokuda kwokuremerwa.
9 Uyasibekela ubuso besihlalo sakhe sobukhosi, endlale iyezi phezu kwaso.
Anofukidza chiso chomwedzi uzere, achiwarira makore ake pamusoro pawo.
10 Udwebe umngcele oyisigombolozi phezu kobuso bamanzi, kuze kube sekucineni kokukhanya lomnyama.
Anotara muganhu pamberi pemvura zhinji, kuti ugova muganhu pakati pechiedza nerima.
11 Insika zamazulu ziyathuthumela, zethuswa yikukhuza kwakhe.
Mbiru dzokudenga dzinodengenyeka, dzichivhundutswa nokutuka kwake.
12 Ngamandla akhe uthulisa ulwandle, langenhlakanipho yakhe uphahlaza ukuziqhenya.
Akaunganidza mvura dzegungwa nesimba rake; akagura-gura Rahabhi nenjere dzake.
13 Ngomoya wakhe ucecise amazulu; isandla sakhe sagwaza inyoka ebalekayo.
Matenga akashongedzwa nokufema kwake; ruoko rwake rwakabaya nyoka inobhururuka.
14 Khangela, lokhu kungamaphethelo ezindlela zakhe; kodwa kuzwakala into encinyane kangakanani ngaye! Kanti umdumo wamandla akhe ngubani ongawuqedisisa?
Uye izvi ndiwo macheto oga ebasa rake; haiwa tinongonzwa kuzevezera kwake! Zvino ndianiko anganzwisisa kutinhira kwesimba rake?”
