Jobho 24
1 “Seiko Wamasimba Ose asingatari nguva dzokutonga? Seiko avo vanomuziva vachitarisira mazuva akadai pasina?
“Chifukwa chiyani Wamphamvuzonse sayikiratu nthawi yoti aweruze? Chifukwa chiyani iwo amene amadziwa Iyeyo amayembekezera pachabe masiku oterewa?
2 Vanhu vanobvisa mabwe omuganhu; vanofudza makwai avakaba.
Anthu amasuntha miyala ya mʼmalire, kuti akuze dziko lawo; amadyetsa ziweto zimene aba.
3 Vanotinha mbongoro dzenherera, uye vanotora nzombe yechirikadzi vachiita rubatso.
Amalanda abulu a ana amasiye ndipo amatenganso ngʼombe ya mkazi wamasiye ngati chikole.
4 Vanodzinga vanoshayiwa kubva panzira, uye vanomanikidza varombo vose venyika kundovanda.
Amachotsa mʼmisewu anthu osauka, ndipo amathamangitsa amphawi onse mʼdziko.
5 Sezvinoita mbizi murenje, varombo vanobuda vachienda kumabasa avo, okukwara-kwara zvokudya; gwenga rinopa vana varo zvokudya.
Amphawiwo amakhala ngati mbidzi mʼchipululu, amayendayenda kufuna chakudya; dziko lowuma limapereka chakudya cha ana awo.
6 Vanosunganidza uswa mumasango, uye vanononga mazambiringa muminda yavakaipa.
Iwo amakolola za mʼminda ya eni ake, ndipo amakunkha mphesa mʼminda ya anthu oyipa.
7 Vashaya nguo, vagovata usiku hwose vasina zvavakapfeka uye vanoshayiwa zvokufuka muchando.
Amagona maliseche usiku wonse kusowa zovala; pa nthawi yozizira amasowa chofunda.
8 Vanototeswa nemvura inonaya mumakomo, uye vanombundikira matombo nokuda kwokushayiwa pokuvanda.
Amavumbwa ndi mvula ya mʼmapiri ndipo amakangamira ku matanthwe kusowa pobisalapo.
9 Mwana nherera anobvutwa kubva pazamu; mwana mucheche womurombo anotorwa nokuda kwechikwereti.
Amatsomphola mwana wamasiye wa ku bere; ndipo amagwira mwana wakhanda wa mʼmphawi kuti akhale chikole.
10 Nokushayiwa zvokufuka, vanongofamba-famba havo vasina kupfeka; vanotakura zvisote, asi vane nzara.
Amphawi amangoyenda maliseche kusowa zovala; amasenza mitolo ya tirigu, koma nʼkumagonabe ndi njala.
11 Vanopwanya maorivhi pakati pemihoronga; vanotsika zvisviniro zvewaini, asi vanofa nenyota.
Iwo amayenga mafuta a olivi mʼminda ya anthu oyipa; amapsinya mphesa, koma nʼkumamvabe ludzu.
12 Kugomera kwavanhu vanofa kunonzwika muguta, uye mweya yavakakuvadzwa inochema kuti ibatsirwe. Asi Mwari haana munhu waanopa mhosva.
Kubuwula kwa anthu amene akufa kumamveka kuchokera mu mzinda, anthu ovulala akulirira chithandizo. Koma Mulungu sakuyimba mlandu wina aliyense.
13 “Varipo vanomukira chiedza, vasingambozivi nzira dzacho kana kugara mumakwara acho.
“Pali ena amene amakana kuwala, amene safuna kuyenda mʼkuwalako kapena kukhala mʼnjira zake.
14 Panongovira zuva, muurayi anobva amuka, uye anouraya varombo navanoshayiwa; panguva dzousiku anonyahwaira sembavha.
Dzuwa likalowa, wopha anzake amadzuka ndipo amakapha osauka ndi amphawi; nthawi ya usiku iye amasanduka mbala.
15 Ziso remhombwe rinomirira rubvunzavaeni; anofunga achiti, ‘Hakuna ziso richandiona,’ uye anogara akavanza chiso chake.
Munthu wachigololo amadikira chisisira; iyeyo amaganiza kuti, ‘Palibe amene akundiona,’ ndipo amaphimba nkhope yake.
16 Vanhu vanopaza dzimba murima, asi masikati vanozvipfigira mukati madzo; havana chokuita nechiedza.
Mbala zimathyola nyumba usiku, koma masana zimadzitsekera; izo zimathawa kuwala.
17 Kwavari vose zvavo, rima guru ndiwo mangwanani avo; vanoita ushamwari nokutyisa kwerima.
Pakuti kwa onsewa mdima wandiweyani ndiye kuti kwawachera. Iwo amachita ubale ndi zoopsa za mdima.
18 “Nyamba ivo ifuro riri pamusoro pemvura; mugove wavo wenyika wakatukwa, zvokuti hakuna munhu achaenda kuminda yemizambiringa.
“Komatu iwowo ndi thovu loyandama pa madzi; minda yawo ndi yotembereredwa pa dzikolo kotero kuti palibe amene amapita ku minda ya mpesa.
19 Kupisa nokuoma sezvakunobvisa chando chanyunguduka, saizvozvo guva rinobvuta vaya vakatadza. (Sheol h7585)
Monga momwe kutentha ndi chilala zimasungunulira madzi owundana ndi momwemonso mmene manda amachotsera omwe achimwa. (Sheol h7585)
20 Chizvaro chinovakanganwa, honye inovadya; vanhu vakaipa havacharangarirwizve asi vakavhunwa somuti.
Mayi wowabereka amawayiwala, mphutsi zimasangalala powadya; anthu oyipa sakumbukiridwanso koma amathyoka ngati mtengo.
21 Vanovandira mukadzi asingabereki, asina mwana, uye havaitiri chirikadzi tsitsi.
Amachitira nkhanza mayi wosabala ndi mayi amene alibe mwana, ndipo sakomera mtima mkazi wamasiye.
22 Asi Mwari anokwekweredza vane simba nesimba rake; kunyange vakasimbiswa, havana chokwadi noupenyu hwavo.
Koma Mulungu amawononga munthu wamphamvu mwa mphamvu zake; ngakhale munthuyo atakhazikika, alibe chiyembekezo cha moyo wake.
23 Angavarega zvavo vakazorora vachifungidzira kuti vakachengetedzwa; asi meso ake ari panzira dzavo.
Mulungu atha kuwalola kuti akhale mosatekeseka, koma amakhala akupenyetsetsa njira zawo.
24 Vanosimudzirwa kwechinguva chiduku, gare gare vaenda; vanodukupiswa vagounganidzwa savamwe vose, vanochekwa sehura dzezviyo.
Kwa kanthawi kochepa oyipa amakwezedwa ndipo kenaka saonekanso; amatsitsidwa ndipo amachotsedwa monga ena onse; amadulidwa ngati ngala za tirigu.
25 “Kana zvisina kudaro, ndiani anganditi ndinoreva nhema, agoshayisa mashoko angu simba?”
“Ngati zimenezi sizoona, ndani angaonetse kuti ndine wabodza ndi kusandutsa mawu anga kukhala wopanda pake?”
