Jobho 23
1 Ipapo Jobho akapindura akati:
Wasephendula uJobe wathi:
2 “Kunyange nanhasi ndinonyunyuta ndine shungu; ruoko rwake runondiremera kunyange ndiri pakugomera kwangu.
Lalamuhla isikhalazo sami silokubaba; isandla sami sinzima phezu kokububula kwami.
3 Dai chete ndaiziva kwandingamuwana; dai chete ndaigona kuenda kwaanogara!
Kungathi ngabe ngiyazi lapho engingamthola khona! Bengingeza enkundleni yakhe!
4 Ndaitaura hangu mhaka yangu pamberi pake, uye ndaizadza muromo wangu nenharo.
Ngibeke kuhle udaba lwami phambi kwakhe, ngigcwalise umlomo wami ngokuphikisa.
5 Ndaizoziva hangu zvaaizondipindura, uye ndaizocherechedza zvaaizoreva.
Bengingawazi amazwi azangiphendula ngawo, ngiqedisise azakutsho kimi.
6 Kuti aizondidzivisa nesimba guru here? Kwete, haaizondipomera mhaka.
Uzaphikisana lami ngobukhulu bamandla yini? Hatshi, kodwa uzabeka inhliziyo yakhe kimi.
7 Ipapo munhu akarurama aigona kuzotaura mhaka yake pamberi pake, uye ndaizosunungurwa kubva pamutongi wangu nokusingaperi.
Lapho oqotho angaphikisana laye; ngakho bengizaphepha phakade kumahluleli wami.
8 “Asi kana ndikaenda kumabvazuva, iye haako; kana ndikaenda kumavirira, handimuwani.
Khangelani ngiya phambili, kodwa kakho, lemuva, kodwa kangimboni.
9 Paanenge ari pabasa nechokumusoro, handimuoni; paanotsaukira zasi, handikwanisi kumuona.
Ngakwesokhohlo ekusebenzeni kwakhe, kodwa kangimboni; uyacatsha ngakwesokunene, kodwa kangimboni.
10 Asi iye anoziva nzira yandinofamba nayo; kana apedza kundiedza, ndichabuda ndava segoridhe.
Kanti uyayazi indlela elami; kangihlole, ngizaphuma njengegolide.
11 Tsoka dzangu dzakanyatsotevera paakatsika; ndakarambira panzira dzake ndisingambotsaukiri parutivi.
Unyawo lwami lubambelele enyathelweni lakhe, ngiyigcinile indlela yakhe, kangiphambukanga.
12 Handina kumbobva pamirayiro yemiromo yake; ndakakoshesa mashoko omuromo wake kupfuura chingwa changu chamazuva ose.
Kangisukanga lemlayweni wezindebe zakhe, ngawalondoloza amazwi omlomo wakhe okwedlula isabelo sami.
13 “Asi iye anomira oga, uye ndiani angapikisana naye? Anoita zvaanoda.
Kodwa yena ukokukodwa, ngubani-ke ongambuyisela emuva? Lokho umphefumulo wakhe okufisayo uyakwenza.
14 Anoita zvaakatema pamusoro pangu, uye urongwa huzhinji hwakadai achinahwo mudura rake.
Ngoba uzaphelelisa engikumiselweyo; lezinto ezinengi ezinjalo zikuye.
15 Ndokusaka ndichitya pamberi pake; pandinofunga nezvose izvi, ndomutya.
Ngenxa yalokho ngitshaywa luvalo phambi kwakhe; ngicabanga, ngiyamesaba.
16 Mwari akaita kuti mwoyo wangu unete; Wamasimba Ose akandivhundutsa.
Ngoba uNkulunkulu wenze inhliziyo yami yaphela amandla, loSomandla ungethusile.
17 Kunyange zvakadaro rima harina kuita kuti ndinyarare, iro rima guru rinofukidza chiso changu.
Ngoba kangiqunywanga phambi komnyama, wagubuzela ubumnyama ebusweni bami.
