UJobe 8
1 Wasephendula uBilidadi umShuhi wathi:
Ipapo Bhiridhadhi muShuhi akapindura akati:
2 Koze kube nini ukhuluma lezizinto, lamazwi omlomo wakho abe ngumoya olamandla?
“Uchasvika riini uchitaura zvinhu zvakadai? Mashoko ako imhepo inovhuvhuta.
3 UNkulunkulu uyahlanekela isahlulelo yini? Kumbe uSomandla uyahlanekela ukulunga yini?
Ko, Mwari angaminamisa zvakarurama here? Ko, iye Wamasimba Ose angaminamisa kururama here?
4 Uba abantwana bakho bonile kuye, yena usebalahlile emandleni esiphambeko sabo;
Vana vako pavakamutadzira, akaita kuti varangirwe chivi chavo.
5 uba wena umdinga uNkulunkulu ngovivi, uncenge kuSomandla;
Asi kana ukatarisa kuna Mwari uye ukademba kuna Wamasimba Ose,
6 uba uhlambulukile, uqotho; isibili khathesi ubezavuka ngenxa yakho, aphumelelise indawo yokuhlala yokulunga kwakho.
kana uri wakachena uye wakarurama, kunyange izvozvi achasimuka kuti akurwire, agokudzoserazve panzvimbo yako chaiyo.
7 Lanxa ukuqala kwakho bekukuncinyane, kube kanti isiphetho sakho sizakwanda kakhulu.
Kunyange mavambo ako akanga ari epasi pasi, ramangwana rako richava rokubudirira.
8 Ngoba ake ubuze esizukulwaneni sakuqala, uzilungisele isidingo saboyise.
“Bvunza marudzi akare ugocherechedza zvakadzidzwa namadzibaba avo,
9 Ngoba singabezolo, njalo kasazi, ngoba insuku zethu emhlabeni ziyisithunzi.
nokuti isu takaberekwa zuro uye hatina chatinoziva, uye mazuva edu panyika akangoita somumvuri.
10 Kabayikukufundisa yini, bakutshele, bakhuphe amazwi enhliziyweni yabo?
Ko, havangakudzidzisi uye vagokuudza here? Ko, havangakuvigiri mashoko anobva pakunzwisisa kwavo here?
11 Imihlanga ingakhula lapho okungelaxhaphozi khona yini? Ibhuma likhule lapho okungelamanzi khona?
Ko, nhokwe dzingamera pasina nhope here? Ko, tsanga dzingararama pasina mvura here?
12 Nxa lisebuluhlazeni balo lingakakhiwa, kube kanti libuna kuqala kwazo zonke izihlahlakazana.
Dzichiri kumera uye dzisati dzatemwa, dzinokurumidza kuoma kupinda uswa.
13 Zinjalo indlela zabo bonke abamkhohlwayo uNkulunkulu, lethemba lomzenzisi lizabhubha.
Ndizvo zvakaita magumo avose vanokanganwa Mwari; saizvozvo tariro yavasina Mwari inoparara.
14 Othemba lakhe lizaqunywa, lokuthemba kwakhe kuyibulembu besayobe.
Zvaanovimba nazvo hazvina kusimba, zvaanovimba nazvo mambure edandemutande.
15 Uyeyama endlini yakhe, kodwa kayimi; ubambelela kiyo, kodwa kayihlali.
Anosendamira padandemutande rake, asi rinobvaruka; anobatirira pariri, asi harimiri.
16 Uluhlaza phambi kwelanga, lamahlumela akhe aphuma esivandeni sakhe.
Akafanana nomuti wakanyatsodiridzwa pamushana, unotandavadza mabukira awo pamusoro pebindu;
17 Impande zakhe zithandele enqunjini; ubona indawo yamatshe.
unomonera midzi yawo pamurwi wamatombo, uye unotsvaka nzvimbo pakati pamatombo.
18 Uba emchitha endaweni yakhe, izamphika ithi: Kangizange ngikubone.
Asi kana ukatsemuka ukadzurwa kubva panzvimbo yawo, nzvimbo iyo ichauramba igoti, ‘Handina kumbokuona.’
19 Khangela, le yintokozo yendlela yakhe; njalo kuzakhula abanye emhlabathini.
Zvirokwazvo upenyu hwawo, hunooma, uye mimwe miti inomera ichibuda muvhu.
20 Khangela, uNkulunkulu kayikumlahla opheleleyo, kabambi isandla sabenzi bobubi.
“Zvirokwazvo Mwari haarambi munhu asina mhaka uye haasimbisi maoko avaiti vezvakaipa.
21 Aze agcwalise umlomo wakho ngohleko, lezindebe zakho ngokumemeza kwentokozo.
Achazadza muromo wako nokuseka uye miromo yako nokupururudza.
22 Abakuzondayo bazakwembeswa ngenhloni, lethente lababi lingabi khona.
Vavengi vako vachashongedzwa kunyadziswa, uye matende avakaipa haachazovapozve.”
