Jobho 27
1 Zvino Jobho akapfuurira mberi nokutaura achiti:
Job again took up his parable, and said,
2 “Zvirokwazvo naMwari mupenyu, iye akaramba kundiruramisira, iye Wamasimba Ose, akaita kuti ndinzwe shungu pamwoyo wangu,
"As God lives, who has taken away my right, Shaddai, who has made my soul bitter.
3 chero ndichine upenyu mandiri, ndichine kufema kwaMwari mumhino dzangu,
(For the length of my life is still in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils);
4 miromo yangu haingatauri zvakashata, uye rurimi rwangu harungatauri nokunyengera.
surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, neither shall my tongue utter deceit.
5 Handingambobvumi kuti muri kutaura chokwadi; kusvikira ndafa, handizorambi kururama kwangu.
Far be it from me that I should justify you. Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
6 Ndichachengetedza kururama kwangu uye handingakuregedzi; hana yangu haingandipi mhosva ndichiri mupenyu.
I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go. My conscience will not accuse me as long as I live.
7 “Vavengi vangu ngavaite savakaipa, navadzivisi vangu savasakarurama!
"Let my enemy be as the wicked. Let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.
8 Ko, munhu asina Mwari ane tariro yeiko kana afa, Mwari paanotora upenyu hwake?
For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
9 Ko, Mwari anoteerera kuchema kwake paanowirwa nenhamo here?
Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?
10 Iye angawana mufaro muna Wamasimba Ose here? Ko, achadana kuna Mwari panguva dzose here?
Will he delight himself in Shaddai, and call on God at all times?
11 “Ndichakudzidzisai nezvesimba raMwari; nzira dzaWamasimba Ose handingadzivanzi.
I will teach you about the hand of God. That which is with Shaddai will I not conceal.
12 Imi mose makazviona izvi pachenyu. Zvino munotaurireiko zvisina maturo?
Look, all of you have seen it yourselves; why then have you become altogether vain?
13 “Haano magumo anogoverwa vakaipa naMwari, iyo nhaka inogamuchirwa navanhu vano utsinye, kubva kuna Wamasimba Ose.
"This is the portion of a wicked man with God, the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from Shaddai.
14 Hazvinei kuti vana vake vakawanda sei, magumo avo munondo; zvizvarwa zvake hazvizombowani zvokudya zvakakwana.
If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword. His offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
15 Denda richaviga vaya vanenge vasara, uye chirikadzi dzavo hadzingavachemi.
Those who remain of him shall be buried in death. His widows shall make no lamentation.
16 Kunyange akaunganidza sirivha seguruva, uye zvokupfeka zvikaita somurwi wevhu,
Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay;
17 zvaanowana zvichapfekwa navakarurama, uye vasina mhaka vachagovana sirivha yake.
he may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
18 Imba yaanovaka yakaita sedende rechipfukuto, sechirindo chakaitwa nomurindi.
He builds his house as the moth, as a booth which the watchman makes.
19 Anovata pasi akapfuma, asi haachazviitizve; paanosvinura meso ake, wanei zvose zvaenda.
He lies down rich, but he shall not do so again. He opens his eyes, and it is gone.
20 Zvinotyisa zvinomubata kufanana namafashamu; dutu rinomubvutira kure panguva yousiku.
Terrors overtake him like waters. A storm steals him away in the night.
21 Mhepo yokumabvazuva inomutakura ichimuendesa kure, achibva zvachose. Inomukukura kubva panzvimbo yake.
The east wind carries him away, and he departs. It sweeps him out of his place.
22 Inovhuvhuta paari isingamunzwiri ngoni, paanenge achitiza akati tande achitiza simba rayo.
For it hurls at him, and does not spare, as he flees away from his hand.
23 Inomuomberera maoko ichimuseka, ichishinyira ichiita kuti abve panzvimbo yake.
Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
