Jobho 27
1 Zvino Jobho akapfuurira mberi nokutaura achiti:
And 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 liveth, who hath taken away my right; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;
3 chero ndichine upenyu mandiri, ndichine kufema kwaMwari mumhino dzangu,
(For my life is yet whole 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.
God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me.
6 Ndichachengetedza kururama kwangu uye handingakuregedzi; hana yangu haingandipi mhosva ndichiri mupenyu.
My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach [me] so long as I live.
7 “Vavengi vangu ngavaite savakaipa, navadzivisi vangu savasakarurama!
Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and let him that riseth 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, though he get him gain, when God taketh away his soul?
9 Ko, Mwari anoteerera kuchema kwake paanowirwa nenhamo here?
Will God hear his cry, when trouble cometh upon him?
10 Iye angawana mufaro muna Wamasimba Ose here? Ko, achadana kuna Mwari panguva dzose here?
Will he delight himself in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?
11 “Ndichakudzidzisai nezvesimba raMwari; nzira dzaWamasimba Ose handingadzivanzi.
I will teach you concerning the hand of God; that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
12 Imi mose makazviona izvi pachenyu. Zvino munotaurireiko zvisina maturo?
Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye 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, and the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.
14 Hazvinei kuti vana vake vakawanda sei, magumo avo munondo; zvizvarwa zvake hazvizombowani zvokudya zvakakwana.
If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword; and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
15 Denda richaviga vaya vanenge vasara, uye chirikadzi dzavo hadzingavachemi.
Those that remain of him shall be buried in death, and 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 raiment 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 buildeth his house as the moth, and as a booth which the keeper maketh.
19 Anovata pasi akapfuma, asi haachazviitizve; paanosvinura meso ake, wanei zvose zvaenda.
He lieth down rich, but he shall not be gathered; he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
20 Zvinotyisa zvinomubata kufanana namafashamu; dutu rinomubvutira kure panguva yousiku.
Terrors overtake him like waters; a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
21 Mhepo yokumabvazuva inomutakura ichimuendesa kure, achibva zvachose. Inomukukura kubva panzvimbo yake.
The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth; and it sweepeth him out of his place.
22 Inovhuvhuta paari isingamunzwiri ngoni, paanenge achitiza akati tande achitiza simba rayo.
For [God] shall hurl at him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of 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.
