Jobho 15
1 Ipapo Erifazi muTemani akapindura akati:
Wasephendula u-Elifazi umThemani wathi:
2 “Ko, munhu akachenjera angapindura zvisina njere here, kana kuzadza dumbu rake nemhepo inopisa yokumabvazuva?
“Kambe indoda ehlakaniphileyo ingaphendula ngeze nje loba igcwalise isisu sayo ngomoya otshisayo wempumalanga na?
3 Ko, angakakavara namashoko asina maturo, kana namashoko asina basa here?
Ingadaza inkani ngamazwi angatsho lutho, ngezinkulumo ezingelasisindo na?
4 Asi unotorwisa umwari uye unodzivisa kunamata Mwari.
Wena uze weyise ukulunga njalo uphazame lokukhonza uNkulunkulu.
5 Chivi chako chinorunzira muromo wako; uye unotevera rurimi rwavanyengeri.
Isono sakho sikhuthaza umlomo wakho; usuthethe ulimi lwamaqili.
6 Muromo wako pachako ndiwo unokupa mhosva, kwete wangu, miromo yako pachako inokupupurira zvakaipa.
Umlomo wakho yiwo okulahlayo, hatshi owami; izindebe zakho zifakaza ububi bakho.
7 “Ko, ndiwe munhu wakatanga kuzvarwa here? Ko, iwe wakazvarwa makomo asati avapo here?
Nguwe yini umuntu wokuqala ukuzalwa? Wabakhona kuqala kulezintaba na?
8 Unoteererawo here panokurukurwa mazano aMwari? Unoti uchenjeri ndohwako woga kanhi?
Uyake ulalele yini enkundleni kaNkulunkulu? Nguwe wedwa yini ololwazi?
9 Chiiko chaunoziva chatisingazivi isu? Kunzwisisa kwaunako ndokweiko kwatisinawo isu?
Kuyini okwaziyo wena thina esingakwaziyo? Ulemibono bani wena thina esingelayo?
10 Vane bvudzi rakachena navatana vakwegura vari kudivi redu, varume vatochembera kupinda baba vako.
Asebezimpunga lamakhehla bavumelana lathi, amadoda amadala kuloyihlo.
11 Ko, kunyaradza kwaMwari hakuna kukukwanira here, iro shoko rakataurwa kwauri zvine unyoro?
Induduzo zikaNkulunkulu kazikwanelisi yini, amazwi akhulunywa kamnandi kuwe?
12 Ko, mwoyo wako wakurasireiko, uye meso ako anobwairireiko,
Kungani uvumela ukufuqwa yinhliziyo na, kungani amehlo akho eqwayiza,
13 zvokuti unoitira Mwari hasha ugobudisa mashoko akadai kubva mumuromo mako?
uze ubhodlise ulaka lwakho kuNkulunkulu ukhihlize amazwi anjalo ngomlomo wakho?
14 “Munhu chiiko, zvokuti angava akanaka, kana munhu akazvarwa nomukadzi, kuti angava akarurama?
Umuntu uyini ukuthi abe ngohlanzekileyo na, lozelwe ngowesifazane ongaba ngcwele?
15 Kana Mwari akasavimba navatsvene vake, kunyange dai matenga akasava akachena pamberi pake,
Nxa uNkulunkulu engazethembi izingilosi zakhe, njalo lamazulu engathembekanga kuye,
16 ko, kuzoti munhu, ane uori uye akaora, anonwa zvakaipa semvura!
pho umuntu ongcolileyo ke, oxhwalileyo, onatha ububi njengamanzi!
17 “Nditeerere ndigokutsanangurira; rega ndikuudze zvandakaona,
Lalela kimi ngikuchazele; wothi ngikutshele esengakubonayo,
18 zvakataurwa navanhu vakachenjera, vasingavanzi chinhu chavakagamuchira kubva kumadzibaba avo,
lokho osekwafakazwa yizihlakaniphi, bengafihli lutho abaluthatha kubokhokho babo
19 ivo voga vakapiwa nyika pasina mutorwa akapfuura napakati pavo:
(abayibo kuphela abaphiwa ilizwe njalo akwaze kwedlula muntu wezizweni phakathi kwabo):
20 Murume akaipa anotambudzika nokurwadziwa pamazuva ake ose, makore ose outsinye akachengeterwa iye.
Ngezinsuku zakhe zonke umuntu omubi uhlutshwa yizinhlungu, kube yisihluku seminyaka yonke ayibekelweyo.
21 Maungira anotyisa anozadza nzeve dzake; pazvinenge zvaita sezvakanaka, vapambi vanomurwisa.
Imisindo eyesabisayo iyagcwala ezindlebeni zakhe; nxa kusithi kuyalunga, izikliwi zimhlasele.
22 Anorasikirwa netariro yokupunyuka parima; munondo ndiwo waakatarirwa.
Ulahlekelwa lithemba lokuwuphepha umnyama; umiselwe inkemba.
23 Anofamba-famba achiita sechokudya zvamagora; anoziva kuti zuva rerima raswedera.
Uyantula nje abe yikudla kwamanqe; uyazi ukuthi usuku lobumnyama selusondele.
24 Kutambudzika nokurwadziwa zvinomuzadza nokutya; zvinomukunda, samambo agadzirira kurwisa,
Usizi lobuhlungu emoyeni bumlethela uvalo; inhlupho ziyamgabhela, njengenkosi isilungele ukuhlasela,
25 nokuti anokungira Mwari chibhakera chake uye anozvikudza pamusoro paWamasimba Ose,
ngoba efumbathele uNkulunkulu inqindi, ezimisela ukulwa loSomandla,
26 achimhanyira kwaari asingatyi ane nhoo hobvu, yakasimba.
aqholoze amhlasele ngesihlangu esiqinileyo, esilohlonzi.
27 “Kunyange chiso chake chakafukidzwa namafuta uye chiuno chake chakafuta nenyama,
Lanxa ezimuke ubuso bungaka, umkhaba ulenga ngedanga,
28 iye achagara mumaguta akaparadzwa nomudzimba dzisingagarwi nomunhu, dzimba dzokoromoka kuva marara.
uzahlala emadolobheni angamanxiwa lezindlini ezingahlali muntu, izindlu eziwohlokayo zibe yinqumbi.
29 Haachazovazve mupfumi uye pfuma yake haingagari, kana nepfuma yake haingazadzi nyika.
Kasayikunotha futhi lenotho yakhe kayiyikuma, lezifuyo zakhe kazisayikugcwala ilizwe lonke.
30 Haangapunyuki rima; murazvo uchasvavisa mabukira ake, uye kufema kwomuromo waMwari kuchamurasira kure.
Kayikuphepha emnyameni; ilangabi lizabunisa amahlumela akhe lomoya wokuphefumula komlomo kaNkulunkulu uzamthwalela kude.
31 Ngaarege kuzvinyengera nokuvimba nezvisina maturo, nokuti haana chaachawana pazviri.
Makangazikhohlisi ngokuthemba okuyize, ngoba akazukuzuza lutho ngakho.
32 Acharipirwa zvakazara nguva yake isati yasvika, uye matavi ake haangawandi.
Singakapheli isikhathi sakhe uzajeziswa, lezingatsha zakhe kaziyikuhluma.
33 Achafanana nomuzambiringa wabvisirwa mazambiringa asati aibva, kufanana nomuti womuorivhi wodonhedza maruva awo.
Uzaba njengevini eliphundlwe izithelo zalo zingakavuthwa, njengesihlahla se-oliva sikhithiza impoko zaso.
34 Nokuti ungano yavasingadi Mwari ichashaya zvibereko, uye moto uchaparadza matende avaya vanofarira fufuro.
Ngoba ixuku labangamesabiyo uNkulunkulu kalizukuba lezithelo, lomlilo uzawahangula amathente alabo abathanda isivalamlomo.
35 Vanobata mimba yokutambudzika vagozvara zvakaipa; dumbu ravo rinogadzira kunyengera.”
Bazithwala uhlupho babelethe ububi; isibeletho sabo sibumba inkohliso.”
