Jobho 17
1 Mweya wangu waputsika, mazuva angu aitwa mashoma, guva rakandimirira.
Mi spirit schal be maad feble; my daies schulen be maad schort, and oneli the sepulcre is left to me.
2 Zvirokwazvo vaseki vakandipoteredza; meso angu anofanira kuramba akatarisa ruvengo rwavo.
Y have not synned, and myn iye dwellith in bittirnessis.
3 “Ndipei, imi Mwari, chitsidzo chamunoda. Ndianiko achandiisira rubatso?
Lord, delyuere thou me, and sette thou me bisidis thee; and the hond of ech fiyte ayens me.
4 Makapofumadza ndangariro dzavo pakunzwisisa; naizvozvo hamungavatenderi kukunda.
Thou hast maad the herte of hem fer fro doctryn, `ethir knowyng of treuthe; therfor thei schulen not be enhaunsid.
5 Kana munhu akaramba shamwari dzake nokuda kwomubayiro, meso avana vake achapofumara.
He bihetith prey to felowis, and the iyen of hise sones schulen faile.
6 “Mwari akandiita shumo kuvanhu vose, munhu anopfirwa mate kumeso kwake navanhu.
He hath set as in to a prouerbe of the comyn puple, and his saumple bifor hem.
7 Meso angu aneta nokuchema; muviri wangu wose wangova mumvuri zvawo.
Myn `iye dasewide at indignacioun; and my membris ben dryuun as in to nouyt.
8 Vanhu vakarurama vanokatyamadzwa nazvo; vasina mhaka vachamukira vasingadi Mwari.
Iust men schulen wondre on this thing; and an innocent schal be reisid ayens an ypocrite.
9 Kunyange zvakadaro, vakarurama vachabatirira panzira dzavo, uye vana maoko akachena vachanyanya kusimba.
And a iust man schal holde his weie, and he schal adde strengthe to clene hondis.
10 “Asi uyai, imi mose, edzaizve! Handingawani murume ane uchenjeri pakati penyu.
Therfor alle `ye be conuertid, and come ye; and Y schal not fynde in you ony wiys man.
11 Mazuva angu apfuura, urongwa hwangu hwaparadzwa, saizvozvowo zvishuvo zvomwoyo wangu.
My daies ben passid; my thouytis ben scaterid, turmentynge myn herte.
12 Vanhu ava vanoshandura usiku kuti huve masikati; mukati merima ivo vanoti, ‘Chiedza chiri pedyo.’
Tho han turned the nyyt `in to day; and eft aftir derknessis hope liyt.
13 Kana musha wandinotarisira uri guva chete, kana ndikawaridzira mubhedha wangu murima, (Sheol h7585)
If Y `susteyne, ether suffre pacientli, helle is myn hous; and Y haue arayede my bed in derknessis. (Sheol h7585)
14 kana ndikati kuuori, ‘Ndiwe baba vangu,’ nokuhonye ndikati, ‘Ndiwe mai vangu’ kana ‘Hanzvadzi yangu,’
Y seide to rot, Thou art my fadur; and to wormes, Ye ben my modir and my sister.
15 ko, tariro yangu iripi zvino? Ndianiko angaona tariro yangu?
Therfor where is now myn abidyng? and who biholdith my pacience?
