UJobe 28
1 Isibili kukhona umthapho wesiliva, lendawo yegolide abalicengayo.
“Mugodhi wesirivha uripo, nenzvimbo inonatswa goridhe.
2 Insimbi ithathwa enhlabathini, lethusi lincibilikiswa elitsheni.
Simbi inocherwa pasi, uye ndarira inonyautswa ichibva pamhangura.
3 Umisela umnyama umngcele, udingisisa kuze kube sekupheleleni konke, amatshe obumnyama lethunzi lokufa.
Munhu anoita kuti rima ripere; anotsvakisisa kusvikira kumucheto chaiko, mhangura iri murima rakasviba kwazvo.
4 Uqhekeza umgodi khatshana lalapho okuhlala khona abantu, lapho abakhohlwe khona lunyawo; bayalenga bejikajika khatshana labantu.
Anovhura mugodhi kure nokunogara vanhu, kunzvimbo dzakakanganikwa norutsoka rwomunhu; kure navanhu anorezuka ndokuzeya uku nokuku.
5 Umhlaba, kuphuma ukudla kuwo, langaphansi kwawo kuphenduka kwangathi ngumlilo.
Iyo nyika, zvokudya zvichibva mairi, inoshandurwa nechapasi seinoshandurwa nemoto,
6 Amatshe awo ayindawo yesafire, njalo ulothuli lwegolide.
safire inobva mumatombo ayo, uye guruva rayo rine upfu hwegoridhe,
7 Inyoni edla inyama kayiyazi indlela, lelihlo lelinqe kaliyibonanga.
Hakuna gondo rinoziva nzira iyo yakavanzika, hakuna ziso rorukodzi rakaiona.
8 Imidlwane yokuziqhenyayo kayiyinyathelanga, isilwane kasihambanga kuyo.
Mhuka dzinozvikudza hadziisi rutsokapo, uye hakuna shumba inofambapo.
9 Uyelula isandla sakhe elitsheni elilukhuni, uyagenqula izintaba ezimpandeni.
Ruoko rwomunhu runorova dombo romusarasara uye ronoisa midzi yamakomo pachena.
10 Aqhekeze imisele emadwaleni, lelihlo lakhe libona konke okuligugu.
Anochera mugero nomumatombo; meso ake anoona pfuma yawo yose.
11 Uyabopha izifula zingathonti, lokufihlakeleyo ukukhuphela ekukhanyeni.
Anotsvakisisa panotangira nzizi uye anobudisa zvinhu zvakavanzika pachena.
12 Kodwa inhlakanipho ingatholakala ivela ngaphi? Lendawo yokuqedisisa ingaphi?
“Asi uchenjeri hungawanikwepiko? Kunzwisisa kunogarepiko?
13 Umuntu kalazi ixabiso lakho, njalo kakutholakali elizweni labaphilayo.
Munhu haanzwisisi kukosha kwahwo; hahungawanikwi munyika yavapenyu.
14 Ukujula kuthi: Kakukho kimi. Lolwandle luthi: Kakulami.
Pakadzika panoti, ‘Hahuzi mandiri.’ Gungwa rinoti, ‘Hahuzi pandiri.’
15 Igolide elihle lingenikwe endaweni yakho, lesiliva singelinganiselwe intengo yakho.
Hahungatengwi negoridhe yakaisvonaka, uye mutengo wahwo haungayerwi nesirivha.
16 Kungelingane legolide leOfiri, le-onikse eligugu, lesafire.
Hahungatengwi negoridhe reOfiri, namatombo anokosha eonikisi kana esafire.
17 Igolide lekristali kungelingane lakho, futhi kungenaniswe ngesitsha segolide elicwengekileyo.
Hahungaenzaniswi negoridhe kana kristari, uye hahungatsinhaniswi nezvishongo zvegoridhe.
18 Ikorali lekristali kakuyikukhunjulwa, ngoba intengo yenhlakanipho ingaphezu kwamatshe aligugu.
Korari nejasipa hazvingatongorehwi; mutengo wouchenjeri unokunda maparera.
19 Itopazi leEthiyophiya lingelinganiswe lakho, kungelingane legolide elicwengekileyo.
Topazi yeEtiopia haingaenzaniswi nahwo; hahungatongotengwi negoridhe rakaisvonaka.
20 Pho, inhlakanipho ivela ngaphi? Lendawo yokuqedisisa ingaphi?
“Zvino uchenjeri hunobvepiko? Kunzwisisa kunogarepiko?
21 Ngoba kusithekile emehlweni abo bonke abaphilayo, kwafihlwa ezinyonini zamazulu.
Kwakavanzirwa meso ezvipenyu zvose, zvakavigwa kunyange kushiri dzedenga.
22 Ukubhujiswa lokufa kuthi: Sizwile ngendlebe zethu umbiko wakho.
Kuparadza noRufu zvinoti, ‘Runyerekupe rwahwo chete ndirwo rwakasvika munzeve dzedu.’
23 UNkulunkulu uyayiqedisisa indlela yakho, njalo yena uyayazi indawo yakho.
Mwari oga ndiye anonzwisisa nzira inoenda kwahuri, uye ndiye oga anoziva kwahunogara,
24 Ngoba yena uyakhangela kuze kube semikhawulweni yomhlaba, abone ngaphansi kwawo wonke amazulu.
nokuti anoona magumo enyika, uye anoona zvinhu zvose zviri pasi pamatenga.
25 Esenzela umoya isisindo, walinganisa amanzi ngesilinganiso.
Paakasimbisa simba remhepo uye akayera mvura,
26 Lapho esenzela izulu isimiso, lombane wokuduma indlela.
paakaita chirevo chemvura negwara rokutinhira wemheni,
27 Ngalesosikhathi wakubona, walandisa ngakho; wakulungisa, yebo, wakuhlolisisa.
ipapo akatarira kuuchenjeri akahunzvera; akahusimbisa uye akahuedza.
28 Wasesithi emuntwini: Khangela, ukwesaba iNkosi, lokhu kuyinhlakanipho, lokusuka ebubini kuyikuqedisisa.
Zvino akati kumunhu, ‘Kutya Ishe, ndihwo uchenjeri, uye kusiya zvakaipa ndiko kunzwisisa.’”
