Jobho 32
1 Saka varume vatatu ava vakarega kupindura Jobho, nokuti akanga akarurama pakuona kwake.
And his three friends also ceased any longer to answer Job: for Job was righteous before them.
2 Asi Erihu mwanakomana waBharakeri muBhuzi, wemhuri yaRami, akatsamwira Jobho zvikuru nokuda kwokuzviruramisira kwake panzvimbo yokuti zviitwe naMwari.
Then Elius the son of Barachiel, the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram, of the country of Ausis, was angered: and he was very angry with Job, because he justified himself before the Lord.
3 Akatsamwirawo kwazvo shamwari nhatu idzi, nokuti vakanga vashayiwa nzira yokupikisa nayo Jobho, kunyange vakanga vambomupa mhosva.
And he was also very angry with [his] three friends, because they were not able to return answers to Job, yet set him down for an ungodly man.
4 Zvino Erihu akanga ambomira kutaura naJobho nokuti ivo vaiva vakuru kwaari.
But Elius had forborne to give an answer to Job, because they were older than he.
5 Asi paakaona kuti varume vatatu ava vakanga vasisinazve chokureva, hasha dzake dzakamuka.
And Elius saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men; and he was angered in his wrath.
6 Saka Erihu mwanakomana waBharakeri muBhuzi akati: “Ndiri muduku pamakore, uye imi muri vakuru; ndokusaka ndanga ndichitya, ndisingadi kukuudzai zvandinoziva.
And Elius the Buzite the son of Barachiel answered and said, I am younger in age, and ye are elder, wherefore I kept silence, fearing to declare to you my own knowledge.
7 Ndakafunga kuti, ‘Zera rinofanira kutaura; makore mazhinji anofanira kudzidzisa uchenjeri.’
And I said, It is not time that speaks, though in many years [men] know wisdom:
8 Asi ndiwo mweya uri mumunhu, kufema kwaWamasimba Ose, kunomupa kunzwisisa.
but there is a spirit in mortals; and the inspiration of the Almighty is that which teaches.
9 Havazi vakuru bedzi vakachenjera, kana vatana chete vanganzwisisa zvakanaka.
The long-lived are not wise [as such]; neither do the aged know judgment.
10 “Naizvozvo ndinoti: Nditeererei; neniwo ndichakuudzai zvandinoziva.
Wherefore I said, Hear me, and I will tell you what I know.
11 Ndakambomirira pamaitaura, ndakateerera pfungwa dzenyu; pamakanga muchitsvaka mashoko,
Hearken to my words; for I will speak in your hearing, until ye shall have tried [the matter] with words:
12 ndakanyatsokuteererai. Asi hakuna mumwe wenyu akapwisa Jobho; hakuna pamuri akapindura mashoko ake zvinogutsa.
and I shall understand as far as you; and, behold, there was no one of you that answered Job his words in argument,
13 Regai kuti, ‘Tawana uchenjeri; regai Mwari amukonese, kwete munhu.’
lest ye should say, We have found that we have added wisdom to the Lord.
14 Asi Jobho haana kunongedza mashoko ake kwandiri, uye handingamupinduri namashoko enyu.
And ye have commissioned a man to speak such words.
15 “Vashamiswa uye havachina chokureva; vapererwa namashoko.
They were afraid, they answered no longer; they gave up their speaking.
16 Ko, zvino ini ndingamirira here ivo zvavangonyarara, zvino zvavangomira ipapo vasina mhinduro?
I waited, (for I had not spoken, ) because they stood still, they answered not.
17 Neniwo ndichava nechokutaura; neniwo ndichareva zvandinoziva.
And Elius continued, and said, I will again speak,
18 Nokuti ndizere namashoko, uye mweya uri mandiri unondimanikidza;
for I am full of words, for the spirit of my belly destroys me.
19 mukati mangu ndafanana newaini iri muhomwe yakadzivirwa, sehomwe itsva dzewaini dzoda kuparuka.
And my belly is as a skin of sweet wine, bound up [and] ready to burst; or as a brazier's labouring bellows.
20 Ndinofanira kutaura kuti ndirerukirwe; ndinofanira kushamisa muromo wangu ndigopindura.
I will speak, that I may open my lips and relieve myself.
21 Handina munhu wandichatsaura, uye handingabati kumeso munhu upi zvake;
For truly I will not be awed because of man, nor indeed will I be confounded before a mortal.
22 nokuti dai ndaiva nyanzvi yokubata kumeso, Muiti wangu aizokurumidza kunditora.
For I know not how to respect persons: and if otherwise, even the moths would eat me.
