Jobho 21
1 Ipapo Jobho akapindura akati:
UJobe wasephendula wathi:
2 “Teereresa mashoko angu; uku ngakuve kunyaradza kwaunondipa.
“Lalelani kuhle amazwi ami; lokhu akube yinduduzo elingipha yona.
3 Ndiitire mwoyo murefu ndichitaura hangu, uye kana ndapedza kutaura, urambe uchiseka hako.
Ake lingibekezelele nxa ngisakhuluma, ngithi nxa sengikhulumile liklolode.
4 “Ko, kunyunyuta kwangu kwakanangana nomunhu here? Ndingatadza seiko kuora mwoyo?
Ukusola kwami kuqonde umuntu yini? Ngingayekelelani ukucunuka pho?
5 Nditarire ushamiswe; ufumbire muromo wako noruoko.
Ngikhangelani, lizamangala; vulani imilomo yenu ngezandla.
6 Ndinotya, pandinofunga izvi; kudedera kunobata muviri wangu.
Nxa ngikhumbula ngalokhu ngitshaywa luvalo; ngizwa umzimba wami uqhaqhazela.
7 Nemhaka yeiko vakaipa vachirarama, vachikwegura uye vachiwedzerwa simba?
Kungani ababi bephila impilo ende, baluphale nje amandla abo esanda?
8 Vanoona vana vavo vachikura ivo vachiri vapenyu, zvizvarwa zvavo pamberi pavo.
Babona abantwababo bezinza benamile, inzalo yabo layo beyikhangele.
9 Misha yavo igere zvakanaka uye haina chainotya; shamhu yaMwari haisi pamusoro pavo.
Imizi yabo ihlezi kayilakwesaba; induku kaNkulunkulu kayikho phezu kwabo.
10 Hando dzavo hadzikonewi kubereka, mhou dzavo dzinobereka mhuru dzisingasvodzi.
Inkunzi zabo zikhuthele ziyazala; amankomokazi abo azala kuhle kawaphunzi.
11 Vanobudisa vana vavo seboka ramakwai; vapwere vavo vanopembera vachitamba.
Abantwababo bayazihambela njengomhlambi; izingane zabo ziyazigidela zichelesile.
12 Vanoimba vachiridzirwa tambureni nembira; vanofarira kurira kwenyere.
Bayahlabela betshaya izigubhu lamachacho; bayazithokozisa ngomsindo wemiqangala.
Yonke iminyaka yabo ngeyokuphumelela baze bayongena egodini belokuthula. (Sheol h7585)
14 Kunyange zvakadaro vanoti kuna Mwari, ‘Tisiyei takadaro! Hatina hanya nokuziva nzira dzenyu.
Kodwa bathi kuNkulunkulu, ‘Tshiyana lathi! Kasifisi ukuzazi izindlela zakho.
15 Wamasimba Ose ndianiko, kuti timushumire? Tinowaneiko kana tikamunamata?’
Ungubani yena uSomandla ofuna ukuthi simkhonze na? Sizazuzani nxa sikhuleka kuye na?’
16 Asi kubudirira kwavo hakusi mumaoko avo, naizvozvo ndinomira kure nerangano yevakaipa.
Kodwa ukuphumelela kwabo kakukho ezandleni zabo, ngakho kangisondeli ezelulekweni zababi.
17 “Kunyange zvakadaro, kanganiko kanodzimwa mwenje wevakaipa? Kanganiko vachiwirwa nenjodzi, magumo anotarwa naMwari mukutsamwa kwake?
Kodwa kukangaki na isibane sababi sicinywa? Kukangaki besehlelwa ngamabhadi na, abawabelwa nguNkulunkulu ezondile?
18 Vanofanana namakoto anopeperetswa nemhepo runganiko, sehundi inokukurwa nedutu?
Kukangaki besiba njengomule emoyeni na, njengamakhoba ephetshulwa yisivunguzane?
19 Zvinonzi, ‘Mwari anochengetera vana vomunhu kutongwa.’ Ngaamutsive iye amene, kuitira kuti agozviziva!
Kuthiwa, ‘UNkulunkulu ulomba isijeziso somuntu asibekele amadodana akhe.’ Kajezise yena umuntu ngokwakhe ukuze akwazi!
20 Meso ake pachake ngaaone kuparadzwa kwake; iye ngaanwe kutsamwa kwoWamasimba Ose.
Amehlo akhe kawakubone ukuchithwa kwakhe; kalunathe ulaka lukaSomandla.
21 Nokuti ane hanya yeiko nemhuri yaanosiya shure, mwedzi yaakagoverwa zvoyopera?
Ngoba uvele uzihlupha ngani ngemuli avele ezayitshiya nxa izinyanga zakhe azabelweyo seziphelile na?
22 “Ko, pane munhu angagona kudzidzisa ruzivo kuna Mwari here, iye achitonga kunyange vari pamusoro-soro?
Kambe ukhona ongafundisa uNkulunkulu ulwazi, njengoba yena esahlulela labaphezulu na?
23 Mumwe munhu anofa achine simba rake rizere, akachengetedzeka uye akagadzikana,
Umuntu uyafa ephilile kuhle, kukuhle konke ekhululekile,
24 muviri wake wakagwinya, mapfupa ake azere nomwongo.
umzimba wakhe uzimukile, amathambo akhe egcwele umnkantsho.
25 Mumwe munhu anofa ane shungu dzomwoyo, asina kumbonakidzwa nezvipi zvazvo zvakanaka.
Omunye ufa elobuhlungu emphefumulweni wakhe, evele engakaze akholise lutho oluhle.
26 Vanovata muguruva pamwe chete, uye honye dzinovafukidza vose.
Bobabili balaliswe ndawonye eceleni komunye othulini, impethu zinyakaze phezu kwabo bobabili.
27 “Ndinoziva chose zvamunofunga, iwo mano amungandikanganisa nawo.
Ngiyazi kamhlophe ukuthi licabangani, amacebo elidinga ukungilimaza ngawo.
28 Imi munoti, ‘Imba yomunhu mukuru iripiko zvino, iwo matende aigarwa navanhu vakaipa?’
Lithi, ‘Ingaphi-ke manje indlu yesikhulu, amathente okwakuhlala kuwo abantu ababi?’
29 Hauna kumbobvunza vafambi vaya here? Hauna kuva nehanya nenhoroondo dzavo here,
Kalikaze libuze labo abahambayo na? Kalize lananzelela izinto abazilandisayo,
30 dzokuti munhu akaipa anodarikwa pazuva renjodzi, kuti anorwirwa pazuva rokutsamwa?
ukuthi umuntu omubi uyaphepha ngosuku lokubhujiswa na, ukuthi uyakhululwa ngosuku lwesiphithiphithi?
31 Ndianiko anotsoropodza mafambiro ake pachena? Ndianiko anomuripira pane zvaakaita?
Kambe ngubani omtshela ngobubi bakhe ebusweni bakhe na? Ngubani ophindiselayo ngalokho akwenzileyo na?
32 Iye anotakurwa achiendeswa kuguva, uye rinda rake rinorindwa.
Uthwalelwa engcwabeni, lilindwe ingcwaba lakhe ngemfanelo.
33 Ivhu romunhika rinotapira kwaari; vanhu vose vanomutevera, uye anotungamirirwa navazhinji vasingaverengeki.
Inhlabathi esigodini leso imnandi kuye; bonke abantu bayamlandela, banengi kakhulu njalo abahamba kuqala kulaye.
34 “Saka mungandinyaradza sei nezvisina maturo? Hapana chasara pakupindura kwenyu asi nhema dzoga!”
Pho-ke lingangiduduza njani likhuluma ize nje? Akusalanga lutho elilutshoyo ngaphandle kwenkohliso.”
