< Jobho 29 >
1 Jobho akapfuurira mberi nokutaura kwake achiti:
UJobe wasebuya ephakamisa isaga sakhe wathi:
2 “Haiwa ndinoshuva sei mwedzi yakapfuura, iwo mazuva andairindirwa naMwari,
Kungathi ngabe nginjengenyangeni zamandulo, njengensukwini uNkulunkulu angigcine ngazo,
3 mwenje wake pawaivhenekera pamusoro pangu uye ndaivhenekerwa nechiedza chake ndichifamba murima!
lapho isibane sakhe sakhanya phezu kwekhanda lami; ngahamba emnyameni ngokukhanya kwakhe!
4 Haiwa, iwo mazuva andakanga ndichine simba, ushamwari hwaMwari chaihwo huchiropafadza imba yangu,
Njengoba nganginjalo ensukwini zokuvuthwa kwami, lapho iseluleko sikaNkulunkulu sasiphezu kwethente lami,
5 Wamasimba Ose paakanga achineni uye vana vangu pavakanga vakandipoteredza,
lapho uSomandla wayeseselami, labantwana bami bengiphahlile,
6 painyorovedzwa nzira yangu noruomba, uye dombo richindidururira hova dzamafuta omuorivhi.
lapho ngagezisa izinyathelo zami ngolaza, ledwala langithululela imifula yamafutha!
7 “Pandakaenda kusuo reguta ndikandogara muchivara,
Lapho ngaphuma ngaya esangweni ngidabula umuzi, ngalungisa isihlalo sami emdangeni;
8 majaya akandiona akatsaukira parutivi uye vatana vakasimuka;
amajaha angibona, acatsha; lamaxhegu asukuma ema;
9 vakuru vakaramba kutaura vakafumbira miromo yavo namaoko avo;
iziphathamandla zayekela ukukhuluma, zabeka isandla phezu komlomo wazo;
10 manzwi avakuru akanyararidzwa, uye ndimi dzavo dzikanamira kumusoro kwemiromo yavo.
ilizwi labakhulu lacatsha, lolimi lwabo lwanamathela elwangeni lwabo.
11 Vose vakandinzwa vakataura zvakanaka pamusoro pangu, uye vose vakandiona vakandirumbidza,
Lapho indlebe isizwa yangibusisa, lelihlo libona langifakazela,
12 nokuti ndakanunura varombo vaichemera rubatsiro, uye nherera dzakanga dzisina anobatsira.
ngoba ngakhulula umyanga okhalayo, lentandane, longelamsizi.
13 Munhu akanga ofa akandiropafadza; ndakaita kuti mwoyo wechirikadzi uimbe.
Isibusiso sobhubhayo sehlele phezu kwami, njalo ngenza inhliziyo yomfelokazi ihlabele ngentokozo.
14 Ndakafuka kururama sechipfeko changu; kururamisira kwaiva nguo yangu nenguwani yangu.
Ngembatha ukulunga, kwangembesa; isahlulelo sami saba njengesembatho lomqhele.
15 Ndakanga ndiri meso kumapofu namakumbo kuzvirema.
Ngangingamehlo koyisiphofu, ngangizinyawo kusiqhuli.
16 Ndakanga ndiri baba kuna vanoshayiwa; ndaimiririra mhaka yomutorwa.
Nganginguyise wabayanga, lendaba engingayaziyo ngayihlolisisa.
17 Ndakavhuna meno emunhu akanga akaipa, ndikabvuta chaakanga akaruma.
Ngasengisephula umhlathi womubi, ngamenza alahle impango emazinyweni akhe.
18 “Ndakafunga kuti, ‘Ndichafira mumba mangu, mazuva angu awanda sejecha.
Ngasengisithi: Ngizaphela lesidleke sami, ngandise insuku njengetshebetshebe.
19 Midzi yangu ichasvika kumvura, uye dova richava pamatavi angu usiku hwose.
Impande zami zinabele emanzini, lamazolo alale ubusuku ogatsheni lwami.
20 Kukudzwa kwangu kucharamba kuri kutsva pandiri, uta hucharamba huri hutsva muruoko rwangu.’
Udumo lwami lutsha kimi, ledandili lami laguquka esandleni sami.
21 “Vanhu vakanditeerera vachitarisira kwazvo, vanyerere vakamirira kurayira kwangu.
Bangilalela, belindele, bathulela iseluleko sami.
22 Shure kwokutaura kwangu, ivo havana kuzotaurazve; mashoko angu akawira panzeve dzavo zvinyoronyoro.
Emva kwelizwi lami kabaphendulanga, lelizwi lami lathontela phezu kwabo.
23 Vakandimirira kunge vakamirira mvura yomupfunhambuya, uye vakanwa mashoko angu kunge mvura yechirimo.
Bangilindela njengezulu, lomlomo wabo bawukhamisela izulu lokucina.
24 Pandakanyemwerera kwavari havana kuzvitenda; chiedza chechiso changu chaikosha kwavari.
Lapho ngibahlekela, kabakholwanga, lokukhanya kobuso bami kabakuwiselanga phansi.
25 Ndakavasarudzira nzira ini ndokugara saishe wavo; ndakagara samambo pakati pamauto ake; ndakanga ndakaita somunhu anonyaradza vanochema.
Ngakhetha indlela yabo ngahlala ngiyinhloko, ngahlala njengenkosi phakathi kweviyo, njengoduduza abalilayo.
