Jobho 10
1 “Ndinosema upenyu hwangu chaihwo, naizvozvo ndicharega kunyarara pakunyunyuta kwangu ndigotaura mukushungurudzika kwemwoyo wangu.
“My soul is weary of my life. I will give free course to my complaint. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 Ndichati kuna Mwari: Musandiwanira mhosva asi mundiudze mhaka yangu nemi.
I will tell God, ‘Do not condemn me. Show me why you contend with me.
3 Ko, kundimanikidza kunokufadzai, kuti muzvidze basa ramaoko enyu, muchinyemwerera kurangano dzavakaipa here?
Is it good to you that you should oppress, that you should despise the work of your hands, and smile on the counsel of the wicked?
4 Ko, imi muna meso enyama here? Munoona sokuona kunoita munhu anofa here?
Do you have eyes of flesh? Or do you see as man sees?
5 Ko, mazuva enyu akaita seavaya vanofa, kana makore enyu samakore omunhu,
Are your days as the days of mortals, or your years as man’s years,
6 kuti muongorore mhosva yangu uye mutsvage chivi changu,
that you inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?
7 kunyange muchiziva kuti handina mhosva, uye kuti hakuna anogona kundinunura paruoko rwenyu here?
Although you know that I am not wicked, there is no one who can deliver out of your hand.
8 “Maoko enyu akandiumba uye akandigadzira. Zvino modzoka kuzondiparadza here?
“‘Your hands have framed me and fashioned me altogether, yet you destroy me.
9 Rangarirai kuti makandiumba sevhu. Zvino mondidzoserazve kuvhu here?
Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay. Will you bring me into dust again?
10 Hamuna kundidurura somukaka here uye mukandigwambisa sechizi,
Haven’t you poured me out like milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11 mukandifukidza neganda nenyama mukandisonanidza pamwe chete namapfupa namarunda here?
You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
12 Makandipa upenyu mukandinzwira ngoni, uye nehanya yenyu mukachengeta mweya wangu.
You have granted me life and loving kindness. Your visitation has preserved my spirit.
13 “Asi izvi ndizvo zvamakaviga mumwoyo menyu, uye ndinoziva kuti izvi zvaiva mupfungwa dzenyu.
Yet you hid these things in your heart. I know that this is with you:
14 Kana ndakatadza, imi maizenge makanditarisa, uye hamaizotendera kudarika kwangu kuti kurege kurangwa.
if I sin, then you mark me. You will not acquit me from my iniquity.
15 Kana ndine mhosva, ndine nhamo! Kunyange dai ndisina mhosva, handingasimudzi musoro wangu, nokuti ndizere nenyadzi uye ndakanyura mukutambudzika kwangu.
If I am wicked, woe to me. If I am righteous, I still will not lift up my head, being filled with disgrace, and conscious of my affliction.
16 Kana ndikasimudza musoro wangu, imi munondironda sezvinoita shumba, uyezve munoratidza simba renyu rinotyisa pamusoro pangu.
If my head is held high, you hunt me like a lion. Again you show yourself powerful to me.
17 Munouya nezvapupu zvenyu zvitsva kuzondipomera mhosva uye munowedzera hasha dzenyu pamusoro pangu, hondo dzenyu dzinondirwisa, mapoka namapoka.
You renew your witnesses against me, and increase your indignation on me. Changes and warfare are with me.
18 “Ko, zvino makandibudisirei mudumbu? Ndinoshuva kuti dai ndakafa hangu pasati pava neziso randiona.
“‘Why, then, have you brought me out of the womb? I wish I had given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me.
19 Dai chete ndakanga ndisina kumbovapo hangu, kana kuti ndakatakurwa ndichiendeswa kubwiro ndichangobva mudumbu ramai vangu!
I should have been as though I had not been. I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 Ko, mazuva angu haasi mashoma ava kutopera here? Ibvai kwandiri kuti ndimbofara hangu kwakanguva,
Aren’t my days few? Stop! Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,
21 ndisati ndaenda kusingadzokwi, kunyika yerima nomumvuri wakadzama,
before I go where I will not return from, to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
22 kunyika yerima guru, yomumvuri wakadzama nenyonganyonga, iko kunoti kunyange chiedza chakangofanana nerima.”
the land dark as midnight, of the shadow of death, without any order, where the light is as midnight.’”
