Jobho 28
1 “Mugodhi wesirivha uripo, nenzvimbo inonatswa goridhe.
Isibili kukhona umthapho wesiliva, lendawo yegolide abalicengayo.
2 Simbi inocherwa pasi, uye ndarira inonyautswa ichibva pamhangura.
Insimbi ithathwa enhlabathini, lethusi lincibilikiswa elitsheni.
3 Munhu anoita kuti rima ripere; anotsvakisisa kusvikira kumucheto chaiko, mhangura iri murima rakasviba kwazvo.
Umisela umnyama umngcele, udingisisa kuze kube sekupheleleni konke, amatshe obumnyama lethunzi lokufa.
4 Anovhura mugodhi kure nokunogara vanhu, kunzvimbo dzakakanganikwa norutsoka rwomunhu; kure navanhu anorezuka ndokuzeya uku nokuku.
Uqhekeza umgodi khatshana lalapho okuhlala khona abantu, lapho abakhohlwe khona lunyawo; bayalenga bejikajika khatshana labantu.
5 Iyo nyika, zvokudya zvichibva mairi, inoshandurwa nechapasi seinoshandurwa nemoto,
Umhlaba, kuphuma ukudla kuwo, langaphansi kwawo kuphenduka kwangathi ngumlilo.
6 safire inobva mumatombo ayo, uye guruva rayo rine upfu hwegoridhe,
Amatshe awo ayindawo yesafire, njalo ulothuli lwegolide.
7 Hakuna gondo rinoziva nzira iyo yakavanzika, hakuna ziso rorukodzi rakaiona.
Inyoni edla inyama kayiyazi indlela, lelihlo lelinqe kaliyibonanga.
8 Mhuka dzinozvikudza hadziisi rutsokapo, uye hakuna shumba inofambapo.
Imidlwane yokuziqhenyayo kayiyinyathelanga, isilwane kasihambanga kuyo.
9 Ruoko rwomunhu runorova dombo romusarasara uye ronoisa midzi yamakomo pachena.
Uyelula isandla sakhe elitsheni elilukhuni, uyagenqula izintaba ezimpandeni.
10 Anochera mugero nomumatombo; meso ake anoona pfuma yawo yose.
Aqhekeze imisele emadwaleni, lelihlo lakhe libona konke okuligugu.
11 Anotsvakisisa panotangira nzizi uye anobudisa zvinhu zvakavanzika pachena.
Uyabopha izifula zingathonti, lokufihlakeleyo ukukhuphela ekukhanyeni.
12 “Asi uchenjeri hungawanikwepiko? Kunzwisisa kunogarepiko?
Kodwa inhlakanipho ingatholakala ivela ngaphi? Lendawo yokuqedisisa ingaphi?
13 Munhu haanzwisisi kukosha kwahwo; hahungawanikwi munyika yavapenyu.
Umuntu kalazi ixabiso lakho, njalo kakutholakali elizweni labaphilayo.
14 Pakadzika panoti, ‘Hahuzi mandiri.’ Gungwa rinoti, ‘Hahuzi pandiri.’
Ukujula kuthi: Kakukho kimi. Lolwandle luthi: Kakulami.
15 Hahungatengwi negoridhe yakaisvonaka, uye mutengo wahwo haungayerwi nesirivha.
Igolide elihle lingenikwe endaweni yakho, lesiliva singelinganiselwe intengo yakho.
16 Hahungatengwi negoridhe reOfiri, namatombo anokosha eonikisi kana esafire.
Kungelingane legolide leOfiri, le-onikse eligugu, lesafire.
17 Hahungaenzaniswi negoridhe kana kristari, uye hahungatsinhaniswi nezvishongo zvegoridhe.
Igolide lekristali kungelingane lakho, futhi kungenaniswe ngesitsha segolide elicwengekileyo.
18 Korari nejasipa hazvingatongorehwi; mutengo wouchenjeri unokunda maparera.
Ikorali lekristali kakuyikukhunjulwa, ngoba intengo yenhlakanipho ingaphezu kwamatshe aligugu.
19 Topazi yeEtiopia haingaenzaniswi nahwo; hahungatongotengwi negoridhe rakaisvonaka.
Itopazi leEthiyophiya lingelinganiswe lakho, kungelingane legolide elicwengekileyo.
20 “Zvino uchenjeri hunobvepiko? Kunzwisisa kunogarepiko?
Pho, inhlakanipho ivela ngaphi? Lendawo yokuqedisisa ingaphi?
21 Kwakavanzirwa meso ezvipenyu zvose, zvakavigwa kunyange kushiri dzedenga.
Ngoba kusithekile emehlweni abo bonke abaphilayo, kwafihlwa ezinyonini zamazulu.
22 Kuparadza noRufu zvinoti, ‘Runyerekupe rwahwo chete ndirwo rwakasvika munzeve dzedu.’
Ukubhujiswa lokufa kuthi: Sizwile ngendlebe zethu umbiko wakho.
23 Mwari oga ndiye anonzwisisa nzira inoenda kwahuri, uye ndiye oga anoziva kwahunogara,
UNkulunkulu uyayiqedisisa indlela yakho, njalo yena uyayazi indawo yakho.
24 nokuti anoona magumo enyika, uye anoona zvinhu zvose zviri pasi pamatenga.
Ngoba yena uyakhangela kuze kube semikhawulweni yomhlaba, abone ngaphansi kwawo wonke amazulu.
25 Paakasimbisa simba remhepo uye akayera mvura,
Esenzela umoya isisindo, walinganisa amanzi ngesilinganiso.
26 paakaita chirevo chemvura negwara rokutinhira wemheni,
Lapho esenzela izulu isimiso, lombane wokuduma indlela.
27 ipapo akatarira kuuchenjeri akahunzvera; akahusimbisa uye akahuedza.
Ngalesosikhathi wakubona, walandisa ngakho; wakulungisa, yebo, wakuhlolisisa.
28 Zvino akati kumunhu, ‘Kutya Ishe, ndihwo uchenjeri, uye kusiya zvakaipa ndiko kunzwisisa.’”
Wasesithi emuntwini: Khangela, ukwesaba iNkosi, lokhu kuyinhlakanipho, lokusuka ebubini kuyikuqedisisa.
