UJobe 31
1 Ngenza isivumelwano lamehlo ami; pho ngingananzelela njani intombi?
“Ndakaita sungano nameso angu kuti ndirege kutarisa musikana noruchiva.
2 Ngoba siyini isabelo sikaNkulunkulu esivela phezulu, lelifa likaSomandla elivela endaweni eziphezulu?
Nokuti mugove womunhu unobva kumusoro kuna Mwari ndoweiko, iyo nhaka yake inobva kuna Wamasimba Ose?
3 Incithakalo kayisiyomubi yini, lengozi yabenzi bobubi?
Ko, hakuzi kuparadzwa kwavakaipa, nenjodzi kuna avo vanoita zvakaipa here?
4 Yena kaziboni yini indlela zami, abale zonke izinyathelo zami?
Ko, iye haaoni nzira dzangu uye haaverengi nhambwe dzangu dzose here?
5 Uba ngihambe ngokuyize, kumbe unyawo lwami luphuthumele enkohlisweni,
“Kana ndakafamba nenzira yenhema kana kuti tsoka dzangu dzakamhanyira kunyengera,
6 kangilinganise ngesilinganiso esilungileyo, ukuze uNkulunkulu azi ubuqotho bami.
Mwari ngaandiyere pachiyero chakatendeka uye achaziva kuti handina mhosva,
7 Uba inyathelo lami liphambukile endleleni, lenhliziyo yami yalandela amehlo ami, kumbe kunamathele isici ezandleni zami;
kana tsoka dzangu dzakatsauka kubva pagwara, kana kuti mwoyo wangu wakatevera meso angu, kana kuti maoko angu akasvibiswa,
8 kangihlanyele, kodwa kudle omunye, lezilimo zami zisitshulwe.
ipapo vamwe ngavadye zvandakadyara, uye mbesa dzangu ngadzidzurwe.
9 Uba inhliziyo yami iyengwe ngowesifazana, kumbe ngacathama emnyango kamakhelwane wami,
“Kana mwoyo wangu wakanyengerwa nomukadzi, kana kuti ndakavandira pamusuo wemuvakidzani wangu,
10 umkami kacholele omunye, labanye kabaguqe phezu kwakhe.
ipapo mukadzi wangu ngaakuye zviyo zvomumwe murume, uye vamwe varume ngavavate naye.
11 Ngoba lokho kuyinkohlakalo, njalo kuyisono ngabahluleli.
Nokuti chingadai chiri chinhu chinonyadzisa, chivi chinofanira kutongwa.
12 Ngoba ngumlilo odla kuze kube yincithakalo, usiphule sonke isivuno sami.
Ndiwo moto unopfuta kusvikira pakuparadzwa; ungadai wakadzura mukohwo wangu.
13 Uba ngalile udaba lwenceku yami loba olwencekukazi yami, lapho ziphikisana lami,
“Kana ndichinge ndaramba kururamisira varanda vangu, pavane mhaka neni,
14 pho ngizakwenzani lapho uNkulunkulu esukuma? Lalapho esethekela, ngizaphendulani kuye?
ndichaita sei pandichasangana naMwari? Ndichatiiko ndikanzi ndizvidavirire?
15 Lowo owangenza esiswini kamenzanga yena yini, lowasibumba esiswini munye?
Ko, iye akandiisa muchizvaro haazi iye akavaita here? Ko, haazi iye mumwe chete akatiumba tose muna vanamai vedu here?
16 Uba ngigodlele umyanga isifiso, kumbe ngifiphaze amehlo omfelokazi,
“Kana ndakaramba zvido zvevarombo kana kurega meso echirikadzi achineta,
17 kumbe ngadla ucezu lwami ngedwa, ukuze intandane ingadli kulo
kana ndakazvidyira chingwa changu, ndisingachigoverani nenherera,
18 (ngoba kwasebutsheni bami yakhula lami nginjengoyise, ngamqondisa kusukela esizalweni sikamama),
asi kubva paujaya hwangu ndakamurera sezvinoitwa nababa, uye kubva pakuberekwa kwangu ndakatungamirira chirikadzi,
19 uba ngabona obhubha ngenxa yokuswela isigqoko, loba umyanga engelasembatho,
kana ndakaona mumwe achiparara nokuda kwokushaya zvokupfeka, kana munhu anoshayiwa asina nguo,
20 uba inkalo zakhe zingangibusisanga, ngoba ekhudunyezwe yiboya bezimvu zami,
uye mwoyo wake ukasandiropafadza nokuti adziyirwa namakushe amakwai angu,
21 uba ngaphakamisa isandla sami ngimelene lentandane, lapho ngabona usizo lwami esangweni,
kana ndakasimudzira nherera ruoko rwangu ndichiziva kuti ndinozivikanwa padare redzimhosva,
22 kaliwe ihlombe lami esiphangeni sami, lengalo yami iqamuke ethanjeni layo.
ipapo ruoko rwangu ngaruwe papfudzi rangu, ruwire pasi napafundo.
23 Ngoba incithakalo kaNkulunkulu yayiyisesabiso kimi, ngingenelisi ngenxa yobukhulu bakhe.
Nokuti ndaitya kuparadza kunobva kuna Mwari, uye handina kuita zvinhu zvakadaro nokuti ndaitya kubwinya kwake.
24 Uba ngenzile igolide laba lithemba lami, ngathi kugolide elihle: Themba lami.
“Kana ndakaisa chivimbo changu pagoridhe, kana kuti kugoridhe rakaisvonaka ndikati, ‘Ndiwe chivimbo changu,’
25 Uba ngithokozile ngoba inotho yami inengi, langoba isandla sami sithole okunengi;
kana ndakafadzwa nepfuma yangu huru, mukomborero wakabva mumaoko angu,
26 uba ngikhangele ilanga lapho libenyezela, loba inyanga ehamba enkazimulweni,
kana ndakava nehanya nezuva pakubwinya kwaro, kana mwedzi uchifamba mukubwinya,
27 lenhliziyo yami yayengwa ensitha, kumbe isandla sami sange umlomo wami,
zvokuti mwoyo wangu wakanyengereka pakavanda, uye ruoko rwangu rukazviremekedza nokuzvisveta,
28 lalokho yisiphambeko phambi kwabehluleli, ngoba ngabe ngimphikile uNkulunkulu waphezulu.
zvino izvozviwo zvingangova zvivi zvinofanira kutongwa, nokuti ndainge ndisina kutendeka kuna Mwari wokumusoro.
29 Uba ngithokozile ngokuchitheka kongizondayo, kumbe ngajabula lapho ububi bumthola;
“Kana ndakafadzwa nokurasikirwa kwomuvengi wangu, kana kufara zvikuru pamusoro penhamo yakamuwira,
30 njalo ngingavumelanga umlomo wami ukuthi wone, ngokucela umphefumulo wakhe ngesiqalekiso;
handina kutendera muromo wangu kutadza, nokudana chituko pamusoro poupenyu hwake,
31 uba abantu bethente lami bebengatshongo ukuthi: Hawu, aluba besilokwenyama yakhe, ngabe kasisuthanga.
kana vanhu veimba yangu vasina kumboti, ‘Ndianiko asina kumbogutswa nenyama yaJobho?’
32 Owemzini kazanga alale esitaladeni; iminyango yami ngayivulela isihambi.
Hapana mutorwa akavata usiku hwose munzira dzomumusha, nokuti musuo wangu wakaramba wakazarurirwa vashanyi.
33 Uba ngasibekela iziphambeko zami njengoAdamu, ngokufihla isono sami esifubeni sami.
Kana ndakavanza chivi changu saAdhamu, nokuviga mhosva yangu mumwoyo mangu,
34 Ngoba ngethuswa lixuku elikhulu, lokudelelwa ngabensendo kwangesabisa, ngakho ngathula, kangaze ngaphuma emnyango.
nokuda kwokuti ndaitya kwazvo vanhu vazhinji, uye ndakatya kwazvo kuzvidza kwevemhuri, zvokuti ndakaramba ndinyerere ndikasabuda kunze,
35 Kungathi ngabe ngilongangizwa! Khangelani uphawu lwami. Kungathi uSomandla angangiphendula, lokuthi ophikisana lami ngabe ubhale ugwalo!
“Haiwa, dai ndaiva nomumwe angandinzwa! Ndinonyora runyoro rwangu ndichizvidzivirira iye zvino, Wamasimba Ose ngaandipindure; mupomeri wangu ngaanyore rugwaro rwezvaanondipomera.
36 Isibili, bengingaluthwala ehlombe lami, ngilubophe lube ngumqhele kimi.
Zvirokwazvo ndairutakura pamapfudzi angu, ndairupfeka sekorona.
37 Ngimtshele inani lezinyathelo zami, ngisondele kuye njengesiphathamandla.
Ndaimupa kuzvidavirira kwangu kwenhambwe imwe neimwe; ndaiswedera kwaari somuchinda.
38 Uba umhlaba wami ukhalile ngami, lemifolo yawo ililile ndawonye,
“Kana munda wangu ukadanidzira kwandiri uchindipa mhosva, uye miforo yose ikanyorova nemisodzi,
39 uba ngidlile amandla awo kungelamali, kumbe ngenza umphefumulo wabaniniwo uphele,
kana ndakadya zvibereko zvawo ndisingaripi, kana ndakaparadza upenyu hwavanourima,
40 kakuhlume ukhula oluhlabayo endaweni yengqoloyi, lokhula olunukayo endaweni yebhali. Amazwi kaJobe asephelile.
ipapo rukato ngarumere pachinzvimbo chegorosi, nesora pachinzvimbo chebhari.” Mashoko aJobho apera.
