UJobe 34
1 Wasephendula uElihu wathi:
Ipapo Erihu akati:
2 Zwanini amazwi ami, zihlakaniphi, lani zazi, libeke indlebe kimi.
“Inzwai mashoko angu, imi vanhu vakachenjera; nditeererei, imi vanhu vedzidzo.
3 Ngoba indlebe ihlola amazwi, njengolwanga lunambitha ukudla.
Nokuti nzeve inoedza mazwi sokuravira kunoita rurimi chokudya.
4 Asizikhetheleni isahlulelo; sazi phakathi kwethu okuhle.
Ngatinzverei pachedu kuti chakarurama ndechipi; ngatidzidzei pamwe chete kuti chakanaka ndechipi.
5 Ngoba uJobe uthe: Ngilungile, kodwa uNkulunkulu ususe isahlulelo sami;
“Jobho anoti, ‘Handina mhosva, asi Mwari anoramba kundiruramisira.
6 ngiqamba amanga ngimelene lelungelo lami; umtshoko wami kawelapheki, ngaphandle kwesiphambeko.
Kunyange ndakarurama, ndinonzi ndiri murevi wenhema; kunyange ndisina mhaka, museve wake unobaya ronda risingarapiki.’
7 Nguwuphi umuntu onjengoJobe? Unatha ukuklolodelwa njengamanzi,
Ndianiko munhu akaita saJobho, anonwa kushorwa semvura?
8 ahambahambe exukwini labenzi bobubi, ahambe labantu benkohlakalo.
Anofambidzana navanoita zvakaipa; anowirirana navanhu vakaipa.
9 Ngoba uthe: Kakumsizi umuntu nxa ethokoza ngoNkulunkulu.
Nokuti anoti, ‘Munhu haana chaanobatsirwa nacho, paanoedza kufadza Mwari.’
10 Ngakho, bantu bengqondo, ngilalelani: Kakube khatshana loNkulunkulu ukwenza inkohlakalo, loSomandla ukwenza isiphambeko.
“Saka nditeererei, imi vanhu vokunzwisisa. Mwari haangatongoiti zvakaipa, Wamasimba Ose haangatongokanganisi.
11 Ngoba umsebenzi womuntu uzawubuyisela kuye, amenze athole njengendlela yalowo lalowo.
Anoripira munhu pane zvaanenge aita; anoisa pamusoro pake zvakakodzera mafambiro ake.
12 Yebo, isibili uNkulunkulu kenzi okubi, njalo uSomandla kagobisi isehlulelo.
Hazvingatongogoni kuti Mwari angaita zvakaipa, kuti Wamasimba Ose angaminamisa kururamisira.
13 Ngubani owambeka phezu komhlaba? Kumbe ngubani owamisa umhlaba wonke?
Ndianiko akamugadza pamusoro penyika? Ndianiko akamuita mutariri wepasi pose?
14 Uba ebeka inhliziyo yakhe phezu kwakhe, uzabuthela umoya wakhe lomphefumulo wakhe kuye.
Kana kwaiva kufunga kwake, uye akatora mweya wake nokufema kwake,
15 Inyama yonke ibizaphela kanyekanye, lomuntu abuyele ethulini.
marudzi ose avanhu aiparara pamwe chete, uye munhu aizodzokerazve kuguruva.
16 Uba kulokuqedisisa-ke, zwana lokhu, ubeke indlebe elizwini lamazwi ami.
“Kana uchinzwisisa teerera izvi; chinzwa zvandinoreva.
17 Kambe, ozonda isehlulelo ubengabusa yini? Kambe uzamlahla yini olungileyo kakhulu?
Ko, munhu anovenga kururamisira angatonga here? Ko, muchapomera akarurama uye ane simba here?
18 Angatsho yini enkosini: Mkhohlisi; kuziphathamandla: Lina abangelaNkulunkulu?
Ko, haazi iye anoti kumadzimambo, ‘Hamubatsiri imi,’ uye kumakurukota, ‘Makaipa imi,’
19 Kuye ongemukeli ubuso beziphathamandla, engananzi isinothi phambi komyanga? Ngoba bonke bangumsebenzi wezandla zakhe.
asingaitiri machinda zvakanaka nokuti machinda, uye asingaitiri zvakanaka vapfumi kupfuura varombo, nokuti vose ibasa ramaoko ake?
20 Bayafa ngesikhatshana; laphakathi kobusuku abantu bayaqhuqhiswa, bedlule; kuzasuswa olamandla kungelasandla.
Vanofa kamwe kamwe, pakati pousiku; vanhu vanovhundutswa vagoparara; vane simba vanobviswa zvisingaitwi noruoko rwomunhu.
21 Ngoba amehlo akhe aphezu kwendlela zomuntu, uyabona zonke izinyathelo zakhe.
“Meso ake ari panzira dzavanhu; anoona nhambwe imwe neimwe yavo.
22 Kakulamnyama njalo kakulathunzi lokufa lapho abenzi bobubi abangacatsha khona.
Hakuna nzvimbo ine rima, hakuna mumvuri wakadzama, pangavanda vaiti vezvakaipa.
23 Ngoba kabi lokhu enaka umuntu, ukuthi aye kuNkulunkulu esahlulelweni.
Mwari haanei nezvokuedzazve vanhu, kuti vauye vamire pamberi pake vagotongwa.
24 Uyaphahlaza abalamandla kungahlolwanga, amise abanye endaweni zabo.
Anoparadza vane simba asina kumbobvunza, agogadza vamwe panzvimbo yavo.
25 Ngakho uyayazi imisebenzi yabo, uyabagenqula ebusuku, bachotshozwe.
Nokuti anocherechedza mabasa avo, anovabvisa usiku uye vanopwanyiwa.
26 Uyabatshaya njengababi endaweni yababukelayo.
Anovaranga nokuda kwokuipa kwavo, pavanoonekwa nomunhu wose,
27 Ngenxa yokuthi bephambukile ekumlandeleni, bengananzanga leyodwa yezindlela zakhe,
nokuti vakatsauka pakumutevera uye havana kuva nehanya kana neimwe yenzira dzake.
28 baze benza ukukhala komyanga kufike kuye, njalo wakuzwa ukukhala kwabahluphekayo.
Vakakonzera kuchema kwavarombo kuti kusvike pamberi pake, zvokuti akanzwa kuchema kwavanoshayiwa.
29 Lapho yena ethulisa, ngubani-ke ongaziphatha ngenkohliso? Lapho efihla ubuso, ngubani-ke ongambona? Loba esizweni loba emuntwini eyedwa.
Asi kana akaramba anyerere ndiani angamupa mhosva? Kana akavanza chiso chake, ndianiko angamuona? Zvakadaro iye ari pamusoro pazvose, munhu nendudzi,
30 Ukuze abantu abangabazenzisi bangabusi, ukuze bangabi yimijibila ebantwini.
kuti abvise munhu asina umwari pakutonga, kuti asaisira vanhu misungo.
31 Isibili uthe kuNkulunkulu: Ngithwele isijeziso, kangiyikona.
“Ngatiti munhu oti kuna Mwari, ‘Ndine mhaka asi handichatadzazve.
32 Lokhu engingakuboniyo ngifundise wena; uba ngenze okubi kangisayikukwenza futhi.
Ndidzidzisei zvandisingagoni kuona; kana ndakaita zvakaipa, handichazviitizve.’
33 Uzaphindisela yini njengokuthanda kwakho, loba uyala, loba wena ukhetha, njalo kungesimi? Wazini-ke? Khuluma.
Ko, Mwari angafanira kukupa mubayiro sezvaunoda iwe here, zvaunoramba kutendeuka? Unofanira kusarudza iwe, kwete ini; saka nditaurire zvaunoziva.
34 Abantu abalokuqedisisa bazakhuluma kimi, lomuntu ohlakaniphileyo uzangizwa.
“Imi vanhu vokunzwisisa taurai, vanhu vakachenjera munondinzwa muti kwandiri,
35 UJobe ukhulume engelalwazi, lamazwi akhe kawalanhlakanipho.
‘Jobho anotaura asina zivo; mashoko ake haana uchenjeri.’
36 Kungathi ngabe uJobe uyahlolwa kuze kube sekupheleni, ngenxa yempendulo zakhe njengabantu ababi.
Haiwa, dai Jobho aedzwa kusvikira pakupedzisira, nokuti anopindura somunhu akaipa!
37 Ngoba esonweni sakhe wengezelela ububi, etshaya izandla phakathi kwethu, esandisa amazwi akhe emelene loNkulunkulu.
Pachivi chake anowedzera kumukira; anouchira maoko ake pakati pedu sezvisina basa, uye anowedzera mashoko ake okurwa naMwari.”
