Jobho 16
1 Ipapo Jobho akapindura akati:
Pamenepo Yobu anayankha kuti,
2 “Ndakanzwa zvinhu zvakawanda sezvizvi; mose muri vanyaradzi pasina!
“Ndinamvapo zambiri monga zimenezi; nonsenu ndinu anthu osatha kutonthoza mtima mnzanu.
3 Ko, kutaura kwenyu kwamadzokorora kwenguva refu hakuperiwo here? Chii chinokurwadzai kuti murambe muchiita nharo?
Kodi mawu anu ochulukawo adzatha? Kodi chikukuvutani nʼchiyani kuti muzingoyankhula mawu otsutsawa?
4 Neniwo ndaigona kutaura semi, dai imi manga muri pachinzvimbo changu; ndaigona kutaura mashoko okukupikisai uye ndigokudzungudzirai musoro wangu.
Inenso ndikanatha kuyankhula monga inu, inuyo mukanakhala monga ndilili inemu; Ine ndikanatha kuyankhula mawu omveka bwino kutsutsana nanu ndi kukupukusirani mutu wanga.
5 Asi muromo wangu waizokukurudzirai: kunyaradza kunobva pamuromo wangu kwaizokuvigirai zororo.
Ndipo mawu a pakamwa panga akanakulimbikitsani; chitonthozo chochokera pa milomo yanga chikanachepetsa ululu wanu.
6 “Asi kana ndikataura, kurwadziwa kwangu hakuperi; uye kana ndikanyarara, iko hakubvi.
“Koma ine ndikati ndiyankhule ululu wanga sukuchepa; ndipo ndikati ndikhale chete, ululu wanga sukuchokabe.
7 Zvirokwazvo, imi Mwari, mandipedza simba; maparadza imba yangu yose.
Ndithudi, Inu Mulungu mwanditha mphamvu; mwawononga banja langa lonse.
8 Makandisunga ini, uye chava chapupu; kuondoroka kunondiwira uye kunopupurira zvinondirwisa.
Inu mwandimanga ndipo kundimangako kwakhala umboni; kuwonda kwanga kwandiwukira ndipo kukuchita umboni wonditsutsa.
9 Mwari anondirova uye anondibvambura mukutsamwa kwake, uye anondirumanyira meno ake; mudzivisi wangu anondidzvokorera meso ake anobaya.
Mulungu amabwera kwa ine mwankhanza ndipo amadana nane, amachita kulumira mano; mdani wanga amandituzulira maso.
10 Vanhu vanoshamisa miromo yavo kuti vandiseke; vanondirova padama pakundimhura kwavo, uye vanobatana pamwe chete kuzondirwisa.
Anthu amatsekula pakamwa pawo kundikuwiza; amandimenya pa tsaya mwachipongwe ndipo amagwirizana polimbana nane.
11 Mwari akandidzorera mumaoko avanhu vakaipa, uye akandikanda mumaoko avakashata.
Mulungu wandipereka kwa anthu ochita zoyipa ndipo wandiponyera mʼmanja mwa anthu oyipa mtima.
12 Zvose zvakanga zvakanaka hazvo kwandiri, asi iye akandivhuna; akandibata napahuro akandipwanya-pwanya. Akandivavarira;
Ine ndinali pamtendere, koma Mulungu ananditswanya; anandigwira pa khosi ndi kundiphwanya. Iye anandisandutsa choponyera chandamale chake;
13 vapfuri vake vemiseve vakandikomba. Anobaya itsvo dzangu asina tsitsi, uye anodururira nduru yangu pasi.
anthu ake oponya mauta andizungulira. Mopanda kundimvera chisoni, Iye akulasa impsyo zanga ndipo akutayira pansi ndulu yanga.
14 Nguva nenguva anondirwisa; anondidzingirira somurwi.
Akundivulaza kawirikawiri, akuthamangira pa ine monga munthu wankhondo.
15 “Ndakasona nguo dzamasaga kuti ndifukidze ganda rangu, uye ndaviga huma yangu muguruva.
“Ndasokerera chiguduli pa thupi langa ndipo ndayika mphamvu zanga pa fumbi.
16 Chiso changu chatsvuka nokuchema, rima guru rakomberedza meso angu;
Maso anga afiira ndi kulira, ndipo zikope zanga zatupa;
17 asi zvazvo maoko angu haana kuita chisimba, uye munyengetero wangu wakachena.
komatu manja anga sanachite zachiwawa ndipo pemphero langa ndi lolungama.
18 “Iwe nyika, rega kufukidza ropa rangu; kuchema kwangu ngakurege kuwana zororo!
“Iwe dziko lapansi, usakwirire magazi anga; kulira kwanga kofuna thandizo kusalekeke!
19 Kunyange iko zvino chapupu changu chiri kudenga; murevereri wangu ari kumusoro.
Ngakhale tsopano mboni yanga ili kumwamba; wonditchinjiriza pa mlandu wanga ali komweko.
20 Murevereri wangu ndiye shamwari yangu, meso angu paanodurura misodzi kuna Mwari;
Wondipembedzera ndi bwenzi langa, pamene maso anga akukhuthula misozi kwa Mulungu;
21 anomira pachinzvimbo chomunhu achikumbira kuna Mwari, somunhu anokumbirira shamwari yake.
iye, mʼmalo mwanga, amamudandaulira Mulungu monga munthu amadandaulira bwenzi lake.
22 “Makore mashoma bedzi asara, ndisati ndaenda parwendo rusingadzokwi.
“Pakuti sipapita zaka zambiri ndisanayende mʼnjira imene sindidzabwerera.”
