< Jobho 28 >
1 “Mugodhi wesirivha uripo, nenzvimbo inonatswa goridhe.
Kulomgodi wesiliva lendawo lapho okucengwa khona igolide.
2 Simbi inocherwa pasi, uye ndarira inonyautswa ichibva pamhangura.
Insimbi ithathwa emhlabathini, lethusi lincibilikiswa emanyeleni.
3 Munhu anoita kuti rima ripere; anotsvakisisa kusvikira kumucheto chaiko, mhangura iri murima rakasviba kwazvo.
Umuntu uyawuxotsha umnyama; uguduza ezingoxweni eziphansi kude edinga amanyele emnyameni othe bhuqe.
4 Anovhura mugodhi kure nokunogara vanhu, kunzvimbo dzakakanganikwa norutsoka rwomunhu; kure navanhu anorezuka ndokuzeya uku nokuku.
Khatshana kwezindawo zabantu ugebha umgodi, ezindaweni lapho okungafiki nyawo lwamuntu; khatshana kwabantu uyalenga, azunguzeke.
5 Iyo nyika, zvokudya zvichibva mairi, inoshandurwa nechapasi seinoshandurwa nemoto,
Umhlaba, okuphuma kuwo ukudla, uyaguquka ngaphansi ingathi utshiswe ngomlilo;
6 safire inobva mumatombo ayo, uye guruva rayo rine upfu hwegoridhe,
amasafire amatshe amahle ayaphuma emadwaleni, uthuli lwawo lugcwele igolide.
7 Hakuna gondo rinoziva nzira iyo yakavanzika, hakuna ziso rorukodzi rakaiona.
Kakukho nyoni edla inyama eyaziyo leyondlela efihlekileyo, kakulalihlo laluphi ukhozi oselwake lwayibona.
8 Mhuka dzinozvikudza hadziisi rutsokapo, uye hakuna shumba inofambapo.
Izilo ezizithembileyo kazilubeki unyawo kuyo, njalo kakulasilwane esizingela khona.
9 Ruoko rwomunhu runorova dombo romusarasara uye ronoisa midzi yamakomo pachena.
Isandla somuntu yiso esihlasela idwala eliyinsengetshe siveze obala impande zezintaba.
10 Anochera mugero nomumatombo; meso ake anoona pfuma yawo yose.
Uyaligubha idwala angene; ilihlo lakhe liwabone wonke amagugu alo.
11 Anotsvakisisa panotangira nzizi uye anobudisa zvinhu zvakavanzika pachena.
Uyathungatha lapho okudabuka khona imifula aveze obala izinto ezifihlekileyo.
12 “Asi uchenjeri hungawanikwepiko? Kunzwisisa kunogarepiko?
Kodwa ukuhlakanipha kungafunyanwa ngaphi na? Kuhlala ngaphi na ukuzwisisa?
13 Munhu haanzwisisi kukosha kwahwo; hahungawanikwi munyika yavapenyu.
Umuntu kakuzwisisi ukuqakatheka kwakho; kakufunyanwa elizweni labaphilayo.
14 Pakadzika panoti, ‘Hahuzi mandiri.’ Gungwa rinoti, ‘Hahuzi pandiri.’
Phansi ekujuleni kuthi, “Kakukho kimi”; ulwandle luthi, “Kangilakho mina.”
15 Hahungatengwi negoridhe yakaisvonaka, uye mutengo wahwo haungayerwi nesirivha.
Kungeke kwathengwa ngegolide elicolekileyo, njalo lentengo yakho ingeke yalinganiswa ngesiliva.
16 Hahungatengwi negoridhe reOfiri, namatombo anokosha eonikisi kana esafire.
Kungeke kwathengwa ngegolide lase-Ofiri, loba nge-onikisi kumbe isafire.
17 Hahungaenzaniswi negoridhe kana kristari, uye hahungatsinhaniswi nezvishongo zvegoridhe.
Kungazake kulinganiswe legolide loba amatshe akhazimulayo, njalo kakuzuzwa ngemiceciso yegolide.
18 Korari nejasipa hazvingatongorehwi; mutengo wouchenjeri unokunda maparera.
Amatshe amahle ekhorali lejaspa lawo kawabalwa lapha; intengo yokuhlakanipha ingaphezulu kwamarubhi.
19 Topazi yeEtiopia haingaenzaniswi nahwo; hahungatongotengwi negoridhe rakaisvonaka.
Ithophazi yaseKhushi ngeke ilinganiswe lakho; ngeke kuthengwe langegolide elicolekileyo.
20 “Zvino uchenjeri hunobvepiko? Kunzwisisa kunogarepiko?
Pho kuvela ngaphi ukuhlakanipha na? Kuhlala ngaphi ukuzwisisa?
21 Kwakavanzirwa meso ezvipenyu zvose, zvakavigwa kunyange kushiri dzedenga.
Kufihliwe emehlweni ento yonke ephilayo, kucatshisiwe lakuzo izinyoni zasemoyeni.
22 Kuparadza noRufu zvinoti, ‘Runyerekupe rwahwo chete ndirwo rwakasvika munzeve dzedu.’
INcithakalo loKufa kuthi, “Amahungahunga akho yiwo kuphela esiwezwayo.”
23 Mwari oga ndiye anonzwisisa nzira inoenda kwahuri, uye ndiye oga anoziva kwahunogara,
UNkulunkulu uyayizwisisa indlela yakho njalo nguye yedwa okwaziyo lapho okuhlala khona,
24 nokuti anoona magumo enyika, uye anoona zvinhu zvose zviri pasi pamatenga.
ngoba uyayikhangela imikhawulo yomhlaba akubone konke okungaphansi kwamazulu.
25 Paakasimbisa simba remhepo uye akayera mvura,
Wathi emisa umfutho womoya, elinganisa isimo samanzi,
26 paakaita chirevo chemvura negwara rokutinhira wemheni,
wathi ebeka umthetho wezulu elinayo lendlela yezulu elilesiphepho,
27 ipapo akatarira kuuchenjeri akahunzvera; akahusimbisa uye akahuedza.
wasekukhangela ukuhlakanipha wakuhlola butsha; wakukholwa wakuqinisa, wakulinga ukuthi kuqinile.
28 Zvino akati kumunhu, ‘Kutya Ishe, ndihwo uchenjeri, uye kusiya zvakaipa ndiko kunzwisisa.’”
Wathi emuntwini, “Ukumesaba uThixo yikho ukuhlakanipha, lokuxwaya ububi yikho ukuzwisisa.”
