Jobho 11
1 Ipapo Zofari muNaamati akapindura akati:
UZofari umNahama wasephendula wathi:
2 “Mashoko aya ose haangapindurwi here? Ko, mutauri uyu anofanira kushayirwa mhosva here?
“Uthi amazwi wonke la angayekelwa ukuphendulwa na? Uwawane lolu luyekelwe nje lubheda?
3 Ko, kubvotomoka kwako kunganyaradza vanhu here? Ko, pangashaya anokutsiura paunenge uchituka here?
Umbhedo wakho lo ungenza abantu bathule na? Uthi ungangakhuzwa muntu wena ukhulumela eceleni?
4 Iwe unoti kuna Mwari, ‘Zvandinotenda zvakarurama uye ndakachena pamberi penyu.’
Uthi kuNkulunkulu, ‘Inkolo yami kayilansolo njalo ngimsulwa phambi kwakho.’
5 Haiwa, ndinoda sei kuti dai Mwari ataura, kuti dai ashamisa hake muromo wake pamusoro pako,
Oh, ngize ngifise ukuthi ngabe uNkulunkulu uyakhuluma, avule izindebe zakhe ekusola
6 uye akuzarurire zvakavanzika zvouchenjeri, nokuti uchenjeri hwechokwadi huri paviri. Uzive izvi: Mwari akatokanganwa kare zvimwe zvivi zvako.
akuvulele imfihlo zokuhlakanipha, ngoba inhlakanipho yeqiniso ikabili. Yazi lokhu: UNkulunkulu uvele usezikhohliwe ezinye izono zakho.
7 “Ko, unganzwisisa zvakavanzika zvaMwari here? Unganzwisisa panogumira Wamasimba Ose here?
Kambe ungayifinyelela yini imfihlakalo kaNkulunkulu? Ungaziphenya iziphetho zikaSomandla na?
8 Zvakakwirira kupfuura matenga, iwe ungaiteiko? Zvakadzika kupfuura kudzika kwebwiro, iwe ungaziveiko? (Sheol h7585)
Ziqongile ngaphezu kwamazulu, ungenzani kambe? Zizikile kulokujula kolwandle, kuyini ongakwazi pho? (Sheol h7585)
9 Chiero chazvo chakareba kupfuura nyika uye zvakapamhama kupfuura gungwa.
Ukulinganiswa kwazo kude kulomhlaba njalo kubanzi kulolwandle.
10 “Kana iye akasvika akakupfigira mujeri uye akakoka dare remhosva, ndianiko angapikisana naye?
Nxa engeza lapha akuphosele entolongweni abize inkundla, ngubani ongamphikisa na?
11 Zvirokwazvo anoziva vanhu vanonyengera; uye paanoona chakaipa, anoshaya hanya here?
Liqiniso ukuthi uyababona abantu abakhohlisayo; njalo nxa ebona okubi, kananzeleli na?
12 Asi munhu asina kuchenjera haangagoni kuva akangwara sezvo zvisingagoneki kuti mwana wembizi angaberekwa nomunhu.
Kodwa umuntu oyisithutha ngeke ahlakaniphe njengoba ubabhemi weganga engeke azalwa ngumuntu.
13 “Asi kana mwoyo wako ukazvipira kwaari, uye ukatambanudzira maoko ako kwaari,
Kodwa nxa ugxilisa inhliziyo yakho kuye uphakamisele izandla zakho kuye,
14 kana ukaisa kure chivi chiri muruoko rwako, uye ukasatendera chakaipa kugara mutende rako,
nxa ulahla isono esisesandleni sakho ungavumeli bubi buhlale ethenteni lakho,
15 ipapo uchasimudza chiso chako usina nyadzi, uchamira wakasimba uye usingatyi.
lapho-ke uzabuveza ubuso bakho ungelanhloni; uzakuma uqine ungesabi.
16 Zvirokwazvo uchakanganwa nhamo yako, uchangoirangarira semvura yakaerera.
Uzalukhohlwa ngempela uhlupho lwakho, lufike nje engqondweni njengezikhukhula ezadlulayo.
17 Upenyu huchajeka kupfuura masikati makuru, uye rima richaita samangwanani.
Impilo izakhanya kulemini enkulu, lobumnyama buzakuba njengasekuseni.
18 Iwe uchagara zvakanaka, nokuti tariro iriko; ucharinga-ringa ugozorora murugare.
Uzavikeleka, ngoba ithemba likhona; uzakhangela ofuna khona uzuze ukuphumula uvikelekile.
19 Uchavata hako pasi, pasina munhu anokuvhundutsa, uye vazhinji vachakumbira nyasha dzako.
Uzazilalela, kungekho okwethusayo, njalo abanengi bazabe sebezisondeza kuwe.
20 Asi meso avakaipa achaneta, uye vachashayiwa kwokutizira; tariro yavo ichava yokufa.”
Kodwa amehlo ababi azafiphala, behluleke lokubaleka; ithemba labo libe yikuhotsha umoya wokufa.”
