Jobho 18
1 Ipapo Bhiridhadhi muShuhi akapindura akati:
Kwathi lapho uBhilidadi umShuhi waphendula wathi:
2 “Muchapedza kutaura uku riiniko? Chimbonyatsofungai, ipapo tigotaurirana hedu.
“Koze kube nini ulokhu uphethe emlonyeni? Nakana andubana sikhulume.
3 Tinobatirweiko semombe uye tichionekwa samapenzi pamberi penyu?
Kungani usithatha njengezinkomo kube ingathi siyizithutha kuwe na?
4 Iyewe unozvibvamburanya mukutsamwa kwako, nyika ingasiyiwa nokuda kwako here? Kana matombo angafanira kubviswa panzvimbo yawo here?
Wena ozidabudabulayo ube yiziqa ngokuthukuthela kwakho, uthi sesingawudela umhlaba ngenxa yakho? Loba uthi amadwala agudlulwe ezindaweni zawo na?
5 “Mwenje weakaipa unodzimwa; murazvo womoto wake unopera kupisa.
Isibane somubi siyacima; ilangabi lomlilo wakhe liyaphela ukubhebha.
6 Chiedza chiri mutende rake chinova rima; mwenje uri parutivi pake unodzima.
Ukukhanya ethenteni lakhe kuyafiphala; isibane esiseceleni kwakhe siyacima.
7 Simba renhambwe dzake rinorukutika; mano ake pachake anomuwisira pasi.
Izisinde zakhe zamandla ziyadeda; lamacebo akhe yiwo amlahla phansi.
8 Tsoka dzake dzinomuwisira mumumbure, uye anodzungaira ari mumaburi awo.
Inyawo zakhe zimbeka emambuleni acine esemthandele.
9 Musungo unomubata chitsitsinho; rugombe runomubatisisa.
Umjibila umhwiphula ngesithende; isihitshela simuthi nki.
10 Chishwe chakavanzwa muvhu nokuda kwake; musungo wakaradzikwa munzira yake.
Isihitshela usifihlelwe phansi; umjibila uthukuziwe endleleni yakhe.
11 Kutyisa kunomuvhundutsa kumativi ose, uye kunomuteverera panhambwe dzake dzose.
Uyethuka ngokwesaba inxa zonke kumlandelele langaphi aya khona.
12 Pfumvu inomudokwairira; njodzi yakamugaririra paanowa.
Umonakalo umlambele; incithakalo imlindele nxa esiwa.
13 Inodya zvikamu zveganda rake; dangwe rorufu rinopedza mitezo yake.
Kudla ingxenye yesikhumba sakhe; izibulo lokufa lidla izitho zakhe.
14 Anodzurwa kubva patende raanovimba naro agoendeswa kuna mambo anotyisa kwazvo.
Uyasuswa ekuvikelekeni kwethente lakhe aqhutshwe asiwe enkosini yokwesaba.
15 Moto unogara mutende rake; safuri inopisa inoparadzirwa pamusoro pougaro hwake.
Umlilo uhlala ethenteni lakhe; isolufa evuthayo ichithachithwe emzini wakhe.
16 Moto unogara mutende rake; uye matavi ake anosvava kumusoro.
Impande zakhe ziyabuna ngaphansi lamagatsha akhe abune ngaphezulu.
17 Kurangarirwa kwake kunopera panyika; haana zita munyika.
Ukukhunjulwa kwakhe kuyaphela emhlabeni; kalabizo elizweni.
18 Anobviswa pachiedza achiendeswa murima, uye anodzingwa panyika.
Uyasuswa ekukhanyeni aye ebumnyameni njalo axotshwe emhlabeni.
19 Haana mwana kana chizvarwa chinotevera pakati pavanhu vokwake, hakuna akasara kwaaimbogara.
Kalabantwana loba isizukulwane ebantwini bakibo, kakho loyedwa owakhe lapho ake ahlala khona.
20 Varume vokumavirira vakakatyamara namagumo ake; varume vokumabvazuva vakabatwa nokutya kukuru.
Abantu bentshonalanga bayanengwa yisiphetho sakhe; abantu bempumalanga bayatshaqeka.
21 Zvirokwazvo, ndizvo zvakaita ugaro hwomurume akaipa; iyoyi ndiyo nzvimbo yomunhu asingazivi Mwari.”
Ngempela linjalo ikhaya lomuntu omubi; yiyo indawo yalowo ongamaziyo uNkulunkulu.”
