UJobe 35
1 UElihu wasephendula wathi:
Ipapo Erihu akati:
2 Ukhumbula ukuthi lokhu kuqondile yini? Uthe: Ukulunga kwami kwedlula okukaNkulunkulu.
“Unofunga kuti izvi zvakarurama here? Iwe zvaunoti, ‘Ndichanzi ndakarurama naMwari.’
3 Ngoba uthe kusizani kuwe, kungisizani okwedlula isono sami?
Kunyange zvakadaro unomubvunza uchiti, ‘Zvinondibatsirei, uye ndinowaneiko nokusatadza.’
4 Mina ngizakuphendula, labangane bakho kanye lawe.
“Ndinoda kupindura iwe neshamwari dzako dzaunadzo.
5 Khangela amazulu ubone; ukhangele amayezi, aphakeme kulawe.
Tarira kumatenga uone; nanʼanidza makore ari pamusoro pako.
6 Uba usona, wenzani kuye? Uba iziphambeko zakho zizinengi, wenzani kuye?
Kana ukatadza, zvinomurwadza zvakadiniko? Kana zvivi zvako zvikawanda, zvinoita sei kwaari?
7 Uba ulungile, umnikani, kumbe wemukelani esandleni sakho?
Kana wakarurama, unomupeiko iye, kana kuti anogamuchireiko kubva muruoko rwako?
8 Ububi bakho buthinta umuntu onjengawe, lokulunga kwakho indodana yomuntu.
Kuipa kwako kunongobata munhu akaita sewe, uye kururama kwako ndekwomwanakomana wavanhu chete.
9 Ngenxa yobunengi bencindezelo babenza bakhale; bayakhala ngenxa yengalo yabalamandla.
“Vanhu vanoridza mhere vari pasi pomutoro wokumanikidzwa; vanokumbira kusunungurwa kubva muruoko rwoune simba.
10 Kodwa kakho othi: Ungaphi uNkulunkulu umenzi wami, onika amahubo ebusuku,
Asi hakuna munhu anoti, ‘Aripiko Mwari Muiti wangu, anopa nziyo panguva yousiku,
11 osifundisa okwedlula inyamazana zomhlaba, asenze sihlakaniphe okwedlula inyoni zamazulu?
anodzidzisa zvakawanda kwatiri kupfuura mhuka dzenyika uye anotiita vakachenjera kupfuura shiri dzedenga.’
12 Lapho bayakhala, kodwa kaphenduli, ngenxa yokuzigqaja kwababi.
Haapinduri kana vanhu vachiridza mhere, nokuda kwokuzvikudza kwavakaipa.
13 Isibili uNkulunkulu kayikuzwa ize, loSomandla kayikukunanza.
Zvirokwazvo, Mwari haateereri chikumbiro chavo chisina maturo; Wamasimba Ose haazviteereri izvozvo.
14 Yebo, lanxa usithi: Kawumboni, kanti isahlulelo siphambi kwakhe; ngakho umlindele.
Ndoda, zvino, haangateereri kana uchiti hausi kumuona, mhaka yako iri pamberi pake zvokuti unofanira kumumirira,
15 Kodwa khathesi, ngoba intukuthelo yakhe ingajezisanga, laye kayikwejwayela kakhulu yini ukuziphakamisa?
uyezve, kuti kutsamwa kwake hakumborangi, uye haana hanya zvake nezvakaipa.
16 Ngakho uJobe uvule umlomo wakhe ngeze, wandisa amazwi engelalwazi.
Saka Jobho anoshamisa muromo wake achitaura zvisina maturo; anowanza mashoko ake asina zivo.”
