< Jobho 16 >
1 Ipapo Jobho akapindura akati:
UJobe wasephendula wathi:
2 “Ndakanzwa zvinhu zvakawanda sezvizvi; mose muri vanyaradzi pasina!
“Sengezwa izinto ezinengi ezifana lalezi; lingabaduduzi ababi lina lonke!
3 Ko, kutaura kwenyu kwamadzokorora kwenguva refu hakuperiwo here? Chii chinokurwadzai kuti murambe muchiita nharo?
Zizaphela nini inkulumo zokubhuda kwenu lokhu? Kuyini okulihluphayo laphikelela nje lidaza inkani?
4 Neniwo ndaigona kutaura semi, dai imi manga muri pachinzvimbo changu; ndaigona kutaura mashoko okukupikisai uye ndigokudzungudzirai musoro wangu.
Lami bengingakhuluma njengani aluba yini elisesikhundleni sami; ngabe ngikhupha inkulumo ezimnandi ngilisola ngize nginikine ikhanda lami.
5 Asi muromo wangu waizokukurudzirai: kunyaradza kunobva pamuromo wangu kwaizokuvigirai zororo.
Kodwa umlomo wami ngabe uyaliqinisa; induduzo yezindebe zami idedise inhlungu zenu.
6 “Asi kana ndikataura, kurwadziwa kwangu hakuperi; uye kana ndikanyarara, iko hakubvi.
Kodwa nxa ngikhuluma, ubuhlungu obukimi kabudedi; loba ngingaze ngithule, kabupheli.
7 Zvirokwazvo, imi Mwari, mandipedza simba; maparadza imba yangu yose.
Ngeqiniso, Nkulunkulu, usungiqede amandla; usuyitshabalalisile yonke imuli yami.
8 Makandisunga ini, uye chava chapupu; kuondoroka kunondiwira uye kunopupurira zvinondirwisa.
Usungibophile sekuyibo ubufakazi balokho; lokucikizeka kwami kuyakhula kungilahla.
9 Mwari anondirova uye anondibvambura mukutsamwa kwake, uye anondirumanyira meno ake; mudzivisi wangu anondidzvokorera meso ake anobaya.
UNkulunkulu uyanginxwanela angidlikize ngolaka lwakhe, angigedlele amazinyo; isitha sami singinyonkoloze ngamehlo ahlabayo.
10 Vanhu vanoshamisa miromo yavo kuti vandiseke; vanondirova padama pakundimhura kwavo, uye vanobatana pamwe chete kuzondirwisa.
Abantu bavula imilomo yabo bengihoza; bangimakala esihlathini bengihlambaza babambane bangihlanganyele.
11 Mwari akandidzorera mumaoko avanhu vakaipa, uye akandikanda mumaoko avakashata.
UNkulunkulu usenginikele ebantwini ababi wangiphosela ezandleni zezigangi.
12 Zvose zvakanga zvakanaka hazvo kwandiri, asi iye akandivhuna; akandibata napahuro akandipwanya-pwanya. Akandivavarira;
Konke kwakukuhle kimi, kodwa wangibhidliza; wangixhakalaza ngentamo wangichoboza. Usengenze ngaba yinto yakhe yokunenjwa;
13 vapfuri vake vemiseve vakandikomba. Anobaya itsvo dzangu asina tsitsi, uye anodururira nduru yangu pasi.
abacibi bemtshoko bakhe bangihanqile. Ungiciba izinso zami engelazwelo achithele inyongo yami phansi.
14 Nguva nenguva anondirwisa; anondidzingirira somurwi.
Ungisukela njalonjalo; angidumele njengebutho.
15 “Ndakasona nguo dzamasaga kuti ndifukidze ganda rangu, uye ndaviga huma yangu muguruva.
Sengithungele isembatho sesaka emzimbeni wami ngathukuza ibunzi lami othulini.
16 Chiso changu chatsvuka nokuchema, rima guru rakomberedza meso angu;
Ubuso bami sebubomvu ngokukhala, amathunzi anzima ahonqolozela amehlo ami;
17 asi zvazvo maoko angu haana kuita chisimba, uye munyengetero wangu wakachena.
kodwa izandla zami kaziluqhelanga udlakela, lomkhuleko wami uhlanzekile.
18 “Iwe nyika, rega kufukidza ropa rangu; kuchema kwangu ngakurege kuwana zororo!
Awu mhlaba, ungaligqibeli igazi lami; sengathi lokukhala kwami kungaze kwacitshwa lanini!
19 Kunyange iko zvino chapupu changu chiri kudenga; murevereri wangu ari kumusoro.
Lakhathesi ufakazi wami usezulwini; umeli wami uphezulu khonale.
20 Murevereri wangu ndiye shamwari yangu, meso angu paanodurura misodzi kuna Mwari;
Umeli wami ngumngane wami nxa amehlo ami empompoza inyembezi kuNkulunkulu;
21 anomira pachinzvimbo chomunhu achikumbira kuna Mwari, somunhu anokumbirira shamwari yake.
uyamncengela umuntu kuNkulunkulu njengomuntu encengela umngane wakhe.
22 “Makore mashoma bedzi asara, ndisati ndaenda parwendo rusingadzokwi.
Kusasele iminyakana engemingaki andubana ngiye lapho kungabuywa khona.”
