Jobho 18
1 Ipapo Bhiridhadhi muShuhi akapindura akati:
Wasephendula uBilidadi umShuhi wathi:
2 “Muchapedza kutaura uku riiniko? Chimbonyatsofungai, ipapo tigotaurirana hedu.
Koze kube nini libekela amazwi imigibe? Nanzelelani, lemva kwalokho sikhulume.
3 Tinobatirweiko semombe uye tichionekwa samapenzi pamberi penyu?
Kungani sithiwa sizinyamazana, singcolile emehlweni enu?
4 Iyewe unozvibvamburanya mukutsamwa kwako, nyika ingasiyiwa nokuda kwako here? Kana matombo angafanira kubviswa panzvimbo yawo here?
Udwengula umphefumulo wakhe ngokuthukuthela kwakhe. Umhlaba uzatshiywa ngenxa yakho yini, loba idwala lisuswe endaweni yalo?
5 “Mwenje weakaipa unodzimwa; murazvo womoto wake unopera kupisa.
Yebo, ukukhanya kwabakhohlakeleyo kuzacitshwa, lenhlansi yomlilo wakhe kayiyikukhanya.
6 Chiedza chiri mutende rake chinova rima; mwenje uri parutivi pake unodzima.
Ukukhanya kuzafiphala ethenteni lakhe, lesibane sakhe ngaphezu kwakhe sizacitshwa.
7 Simba renhambwe dzake rinorukutika; mano ake pachake anomuwisira pasi.
Izinyathelo zamandla akhe zizafinyezwa, lecebo lakhe lizamwisela phansi.
8 Tsoka dzake dzinomuwisira mumumbure, uye anodzungaira ari mumaburi awo.
Ngoba uzaphoselwa embuleni zinyawo zakhe, ahambe phezu kwembule.
9 Musungo unomubata chitsitsinho; rugombe runomubatisisa.
Umjibila uzambamba isithende, isihitshela sizamkhulela.
10 Chishwe chakavanzwa muvhu nokuda kwake; musungo wakaradzikwa munzira yake.
Igoda lakhe lifihlwe emhlabathini, lomjibila wakhe endleleni.
11 Kutyisa kunomuvhundutsa kumativi ose, uye kunomuteverera panhambwe dzake dzose.
Izesabiso zizamethusa inhlangothi zonke, zixotshane laye enyaweni zakhe.
12 Pfumvu inomudokwairira; njodzi yakamugaririra paanowa.
Amandla akhe azaqedwa yindlala, lengozi ilindele ukukhubeka kwakhe.
13 Inodya zvikamu zveganda rake; dangwe rorufu rinopedza mitezo yake.
Kuzakudla ingxenye zesikhumba sakhe; izibulo lokufa lidle ingxenye zakhe.
14 Anodzurwa kubva patende raanovimba naro agoendeswa kuna mambo anotyisa kwazvo.
Ithemba lakhe lizahluthunwa ethenteni lakhe, njalo kumenze aye enkosini yezesabiso.
15 Moto unogara mutende rake; safuri inopisa inoparadzirwa pamusoro pougaro hwake.
Kuzahlala ethenteni lakhe elingeyisilo lakhe; isolufa izavuvuzelwa phezu kwendawo yakhe yokuhlala.
16 Moto unogara mutende rake; uye matavi ake anosvava kumusoro.
Impande zakhe zizakoma ngaphansi, logatsha lwakhe lubune ngaphezulu.
17 Kurangarirwa kwake kunopera panyika; haana zita munyika.
Ukukhunjulwa kwakhe kuzabhubha emhlabeni, angabi labizo ezitaladeni.
18 Anobviswa pachiedza achiendeswa murima, uye anodzingwa panyika.
Bazamfuqa bamsuse ekukhanyeni bamuse emnyameni, bamxotshe emhlabeni.
19 Haana mwana kana chizvarwa chinotevera pakati pavanhu vokwake, hakuna akasara kwaaimbogara.
Kayikuba lenzalo lasizukulwana ebantwini bakibo; kakuyikuba lansali endaweni zakhe zokuhlala.
20 Varume vokumavirira vakakatyamara namagumo ake; varume vokumabvazuva vakabatwa nokutya kukuru.
Abalandelayo bazakwethuswa lusuku lwakhe, labokuqala bazabanjwa yisesabiso.
21 Zvirokwazvo, ndizvo zvakaita ugaro hwomurume akaipa; iyoyi ndiyo nzvimbo yomunhu asingazivi Mwari.”
Isibili zinjalo indawo zokuhlala zomubi, njalo yiyo le indawo yongamaziyo uNkulunkulu.
