Jobho 27
1 Zvino Jobho akapfuurira mberi nokutaura achiti:
Ndipo Ayubu akaendelea na hoja yake, akasema:
2 “Zvirokwazvo naMwari mupenyu, iye akaramba kundiruramisira, iye Wamasimba Ose, akaita kuti ndinzwe shungu pamwoyo wangu,
“Hakika kama Mungu aishivyo, aliyeninyima haki yangu, Mwenyezi ambaye amenifanya nionje uchungu wa nafsi,
3 chero ndichine upenyu mandiri, ndichine kufema kwaMwari mumhino dzangu,
kwa muda wote nitakaokuwa na uhai ndani yangu, nayo pumzi ya Mungu ikiwa puani mwangu,
4 miromo yangu haingatauri zvakashata, uye rurimi rwangu harungatauri nokunyengera.
midomo yangu haitanena uovu, wala ulimi wangu hautatamka udanganyifu.
5 Handingambobvumi kuti muri kutaura chokwadi; kusvikira ndafa, handizorambi kururama kwangu.
Sitakubaliana nanyi kabisa kuwa mko sahihi; hadi nife, sitakana uadilifu wangu.
6 Ndichachengetedza kururama kwangu uye handingakuregedzi; hana yangu haingandipi mhosva ndichiri mupenyu.
Nitadumisha haki yangu wala sitaiacha; dhamiri yangu haitanisuta muda wote ninaoishi.
7 “Vavengi vangu ngavaite savakaipa, navadzivisi vangu savasakarurama!
“Watesi wangu wawe kama waovu, nao adui zangu wawe kama wasio haki!
8 Ko, munhu asina Mwari ane tariro yeiko kana afa, Mwari paanotora upenyu hwake?
Kwa maana mtu asiyemcha Mungu analo tegemeo gani anapokatiliwa mbali, Mungu anapouondoa uhai wake?
9 Ko, Mwari anoteerera kuchema kwake paanowirwa nenhamo here?
Je, Mungu husikiliza kilio chake, shida zimjiapo?
10 Iye angawana mufaro muna Wamasimba Ose here? Ko, achadana kuna Mwari panguva dzose here?
Je, anaweza kumfurahia Mwenyezi? Je, atamwita Mungu nyakati zote?
11 “Ndichakudzidzisai nezvesimba raMwari; nzira dzaWamasimba Ose handingadzivanzi.
“Nitawafundisha juu ya uweza wa Mungu; njia za Mwenyezi sitazificha.
12 Imi mose makazviona izvi pachenyu. Zvino munotaurireiko zvisina maturo?
Ninyi nyote mmeona hili wenyewe. Ni ya nini basi mazungumzo haya yasiyo na maana?
13 “Haano magumo anogoverwa vakaipa naMwari, iyo nhaka inogamuchirwa navanhu vano utsinye, kubva kuna Wamasimba Ose.
“Hili ndilo fungu ambalo Mungu humpa mtu mwovu, urithi ule mtu mdhalimu anapokea kutoka kwa Mwenyezi:
14 Hazvinei kuti vana vake vakawanda sei, magumo avo munondo; zvizvarwa zvake hazvizombowani zvokudya zvakakwana.
Hata kama watoto wake watakuwa wengi kiasi gani, fungu lao ni kuuawa kwa upanga; wazao wake hawatakuwa kamwe na chakula cha kuwatosha.
15 Denda richaviga vaya vanenge vasara, uye chirikadzi dzavo hadzingavachemi.
Tauni itawazika wale watakaonusurika miongoni mwao, nao wajane wao hawatawaombolezea.
16 Kunyange akaunganidza sirivha seguruva, uye zvokupfeka zvikaita somurwi wevhu,
Ajapokusanya fedha nyingi kama mavumbi, na mavazi kama malundo ya udongo wa mfinyanzi,
17 zvaanowana zvichapfekwa navakarurama, uye vasina mhaka vachagovana sirivha yake.
yale yote mtu mwovu aliyojiwekea akiba, mwenye haki atayavaa, naye asiye na hatia ataigawanya fedha yake.
18 Imba yaanovaka yakaita sedende rechipfukuto, sechirindo chakaitwa nomurindi.
Nyumba aijengayo ni kama utando wa buibui, kama kibanda alichotengeneza mlinzi.
19 Anovata pasi akapfuma, asi haachazviitizve; paanosvinura meso ake, wanei zvose zvaenda.
Yeye hulala akiwa tajiri, lakini ndiyo mara ya mwisho; afunguapo macho yake, yote yametoweka.
20 Zvinotyisa zvinomubata kufanana namafashamu; dutu rinomubvutira kure panguva yousiku.
Vitisho humjia kama mafuriko; dhoruba humkumba ghafula usiku.
21 Mhepo yokumabvazuva inomutakura ichimuendesa kure, achibva zvachose. Inomukukura kubva panzvimbo yake.
Upepo mkali wa mashariki humchukua, naye hutoweka; humzoa kutoka mahali pake.
22 Inovhuvhuta paari isingamunzwiri ngoni, paanenge achitiza akati tande achitiza simba rayo.
Humvurumisha bila huruma, huku akikimbia kasi kukwepa nguvu zake.
23 Inomuomberera maoko ichimuseka, ichishinyira ichiita kuti abve panzvimbo yake.
Upepo humpigia makofi kwa dharau, na kumfukuza atoke mahali pake.
