< Jobho 31 >
1 “Ndakaita sungano nameso angu kuti ndirege kutarisa musikana noruchiva.
“Ngasenza isivumelwano lamehlo ami ukuthi angakhangeli intombi ayihawukele.
2 Nokuti mugove womunhu unobva kumusoro kuna Mwari ndoweiko, iyo nhaka yake inobva kuna Wamasimba Ose?
Siyini isabelo somuntu asabelwe nguNkulunkulu ophezulu na, ilifa lakhe elivela kuSomandla phezulu?
3 Ko, hakuzi kuparadzwa kwavakaipa, nenjodzi kuna avo vanoita zvakaipa here?
Akusikubhujiswa kwababi lokutshabalaliswa kwalabo abenza okubi na?
4 Ko, iye haaoni nzira dzangu uye haaverengi nhambwe dzangu dzose here?
Kanti kaziboni yini izindlela zami abale zonke izinyathelo zami?
5 “Kana ndakafamba nenzira yenhema kana kuti tsoka dzangu dzakamhanyira kunyengera,
Nxa ngike ngahamba ngokwamanga loba unyawo lwami lwakhuthalela inkohliso
6 Mwari ngaandiyere pachiyero chakatendeka uye achaziva kuti handina mhosva,
uNkulunkulu akangikale esikalini sakhe esiqotho ukuze abone ukuthi angilasici,
7 kana tsoka dzangu dzakatsauka kubva pagwara, kana kuti mwoyo wangu wakatevera meso angu, kana kuti maoko angu akasvibiswa,
nxa izinyathelo zami zike zaphambuka endleleni, nxa inhliziyo yami ikhokhelwe ngamehlo ami, noma kumbe izandla zami zike zangcoliswa,
8 ipapo vamwe ngavadye zvandakadyara, uye mbesa dzangu ngadzidzurwe.
lapho-ke abanye kabazidlele lokho engikuhlanyeleyo, njalo amabele ami kawasitshunwe.
9 “Kana mwoyo wangu wakanyengerwa nomukadzi, kana kuti ndakavandira pamusuo wemuvakidzani wangu,
Nxa inhliziyo yami ike yakhangwa ngowesifazane, kumbe nxa ngike ngacathama ngasemnyango kamakhelwane,
10 ipapo mukadzi wangu ngaakuye zviyo zvomumwe murume, uye vamwe varume ngavavate naye.
lapho-ke owami umfazi kacholele enye indoda, njalo amanye amadoda kawalale laye.
11 Nokuti chingadai chiri chinhu chinonyadzisa, chivi chinofanira kutongwa.
Ngoba lokho bekuzakuba lihlazo, isono esifanele ukwahlulelwa.
12 Ndiwo moto unopfuta kusvikira pakuparadzwa; ungadai wakadzura mukohwo wangu.
Kungumlilo otshisayo onguMaqothula; ngabe kwasiphuna isivuno sami.
13 “Kana ndichinge ndaramba kururamisira varanda vangu, pavane mhaka neni,
Nxa ngingaphathanga kuhle izisebenzi zami, esesilisa lesesifazane nxa kukhona abakusolayo kimi,
14 ndichaita sei pandichasangana naMwari? Ndichatiiko ndikanzi ndizvidavirire?
ngizakuthini lapho uNkulunkulu esengibuza ngakho na? Ngizaphendula ngithini nxa sekumele ngichaze na?
15 Ko, iye akandiisa muchizvaro haazi iye akavaita here? Ko, haazi iye mumwe chete akatiumba tose muna vanamai vedu here?
Yena lowo owangenzayo esibelethweni kabenzanga labo na? Kasuye yini yena kanye owasenzayo sonke phakathi kwezisu zabomama na?
16 “Kana ndakaramba zvido zvevarombo kana kurega meso echirikadzi achineta,
Nxa ngilahlele eceleni izifiso zabayanga loba ngayekela amehlo omfelokazi edinwa yizinyembezi,
17 kana ndakazvidyira chingwa changu, ndisingachigoverani nenherera,
nxa ngizidlele ngedwa isinkwa sami, ngingasabelani lezintandane,
18 asi kubva paujaya hwangu ndakamurera sezvinoitwa nababa, uye kubva pakuberekwa kwangu ndakatungamirira chirikadzi,
kodwa ebutsheni bami ngabondla njengaboyise, njalo kusukela ekuzalweni kwami ngamkhokhela umfelokazi,
19 kana ndakaona mumwe achiparara nokuda kwokushaya zvokupfeka, kana munhu anoshayiwa asina nguo,
nxa ngike ngabona umuntu esifa ngokuswela izigqoko, loba umuntu oswelayo engelasivunulo,
20 uye mwoyo wake ukasandiropafadza nokuti adziyirwa namakushe amakwai angu,
njalo inhliziyo yakhe ayingibusisanga ngokumfudumeza ngoboya bezimvu zami,
21 kana ndakasimudzira nherera ruoko rwangu ndichiziva kuti ndinozivikanwa padare redzimhosva,
nxa ngike ngaphakamisa isandla sami phezu kwentandane, kodwa mina ngikwazi ukuthi bayangilalela emthethwandaba,
22 ipapo ruoko rwangu ngaruwe papfudzi rangu, ruwire pasi napafundo.
nxa kunjalo kayikhumuke ingalo yami kusukela ehlombe, kayephulwe endololwaneni.
23 Nokuti ndaitya kuparadza kunobva kuna Mwari, uye handina kuita zvinhu zvakadaro nokuti ndaitya kubwinya kwake.
Ngoba ngesaba ukubhubhisa kukaNkulunkulu, kwathi ngokwesaba inkazimulo yakhe, ngayekela ukwenza izinto ezinjalo.
24 “Kana ndakaisa chivimbo changu pagoridhe, kana kuti kugoridhe rakaisvonaka ndikati, ‘Ndiwe chivimbo changu,’
Nxa ngifake ithemba lami phezu kwegolide, loba ngathi kulo igolide elicolekileyo, ‘Ulithemba lami,’
25 kana ndakafadzwa nepfuma yangu huru, mukomborero wakabva mumaoko angu,
nxa bengithokoziswa yinotho yami enengi, lenzuzo evele ngezandla zami,
26 kana ndakava nehanya nezuva pakubwinya kwaro, kana mwedzi uchifamba mukubwinya,
nxa ngilikhangele ilanga libenyezela loba inyanga ihamba ngenkazimulo,
27 zvokuti mwoyo wangu wakanyengereka pakavanda, uye ruoko rwangu rukazviremekedza nokuzvisveta,
yaze yayengeka inhliziyo yami ngaphakathi nganga isandla sami ukuzikhonza,
28 zvino izvozviwo zvingangova zvivi zvinofanira kutongwa, nokuti ndainge ndisina kutendeka kuna Mwari wokumusoro.
lezi lazo yizono ebezifanele ukwahlulelwa, ngoba bengizabe ngingathembekanga kuNkulunkulu ophezulu.
29 “Kana ndakafadzwa nokurasikirwa kwomuvengi wangu, kana kufara zvikuru pamusoro penhamo yakamuwira,
Nxa ngike ngathokoza ngomnyama owehlele isitha sami kumbe ngagqabhaza ngohlupho olumehleleyo,
30 handina kutendera muromo wangu kutadza, nokudana chituko pamusoro poupenyu hwake,
kangivumelanga umlomo wami ukuba wenze isono ngokuqalekisa ukuphila kwakhe,
31 kana vanhu veimba yangu vasina kumboti, ‘Ndianiko asina kumbogutswa nenyama yaJobho?’
nxa abantu bendlu yami bengakaze bathi, ‘Ngubani ongazange azitike ngenyama kaJobe na?’
32 Hapana mutorwa akavata usiku hwose munzira dzomumusha, nokuti musuo wangu wakaramba wakazarurirwa vashanyi.
kodwa kakulasihambi esake salala emgwaqweni, ngoba umnyango wami wawuhlala uvulelwe izihambi
33 Kana ndakavanza chivi changu saAdhamu, nokuviga mhosva yangu mumwoyo mangu,
nxa ngisithukuzile isono sami njengokwenziwa ngabantu, ngokufihla umlandu wami enhliziyweni yami
34 nokuda kwokuti ndaitya kwazvo vanhu vazhinji, uye ndakatya kwazvo kuzvidza kwevemhuri, zvokuti ndakaramba ndinyerere ndikasabuda kunze,
ngoba ngisesaba abantu ngithuthunyeliswa yikweyiswa ngabosendo ngazithulela ngaze ngala lokuphumela phandle.
35 “Haiwa, dai ndaiva nomumwe angandinzwa! Ndinonyora runyoro rwangu ndichizvidzivirira iye zvino, Wamasimba Ose ngaandipindure; mupomeri wangu ngaanyore rugwaro rwezvaanondipomera.
(Oh, kube ukhona ongizwayo! Sengisayina incwadi yokuzivikela kwami, uSomandla kangiphendule; ongimangalelayo kabhale phansi icala angethesa lona.
36 Zvirokwazvo ndairutakura pamapfudzi angu, ndairupfeka sekorona.
Leyoncwadi ngingayithwala ehlombe lami, ngingayithwala ekhanda njengomqhele.
37 Ndaimupa kuzvidavirira kwangu kwenhambwe imwe neimwe; ndaiswedera kwaari somuchinda.
Bengingamchazela ngokugcweleyo ngazozonke izinyathelo zami; ngisondele kuye njengenkosana.)
38 “Kana munda wangu ukadanidzira kwandiri uchindipa mhosva, uye miforo yose ikanyorova nemisodzi,
Nxa ilizwe lakithi lingiphika lemifolo yalo imanzi ngezinyembezi,
39 kana ndakadya zvibereko zvawo ndisingaripi, kana ndakaparadza upenyu hwavanourima,
nxa ngike ngadla izithelo zalo angaze ngabhadala loba ngephula imimoya yabanikazi,
40 ipapo rukato ngarumere pachinzvimbo chegorosi, nesora pachinzvimbo chebhari.” Mashoko aJobho apera.
nxa kunjalo kakumile ameva esikhundleni sengqoloyi, lokhula esikhundleni sebhali.” Aphela lapha amazwi kaJobe.
