Jobho 34
1 Ipapo Erihu akati:
U-Elihu waqhubeka esithi:
2 “Inzwai mashoko angu, imi vanhu vakachenjera; nditeererei, imi vanhu vedzidzo.
“Zwanini amazwi ami, lina madoda ahlakaniphileyo; lalelani kimi, lina madoda ayizifundiswa.
3 Nokuti nzeve inoedza mazwi sokuravira kunoita rurimi chokudya.
Phela indlebe iyawahlola amazwi njengolimi lunambitha ukudla.
4 Ngatinzverei pachedu kuti chakarurama ndechipi; ngatidzidzei pamwe chete kuti chakanaka ndechipi.
Asizihluzeleni thina okulungileyo; kasifundeni ndawonye okuhle.
5 “Jobho anoti, ‘Handina mhosva, asi Mwari anoramba kundiruramisira.
UJobe uthi, ‘Kangilacala, kodwa uNkulunkulu kangahluleli ngokulunga.
6 Kunyange ndakarurama, ndinonzi ndiri murevi wenhema; kunyange ndisina mhaka, museve wake unobaya ronda risingarapiki.’
Loba mina ngiqondile, kuthiwa ngilamanga; loba ngingelacala, umtshoko wakhe ungihlaba isilonda esingelaphekiyo.’
7 Ndianiko munhu akaita saJobho, anonwa kushorwa semvura?
UJobe kanti ungumuntu bani, onatha ukuklolodela njengamanzi?
8 Anofambidzana navanoita zvakaipa; anowirirana navanhu vakaipa.
Uzwanana labantu abenza ububi; uhambisana labantu ababi.
9 Nokuti anoti, ‘Munhu haana chaanobatsirwa nacho, paanoedza kufadza Mwari.’
Ngoba uthi, ‘Umuntu kakumsizi ngalutho ukuzama ukuthokozisa uNkulunkulu.’
10 “Saka nditeererei, imi vanhu vokunzwisisa. Mwari haangatongoiti zvakaipa, Wamasimba Ose haangatongokanganisi.
Ngakho lalelani kimi lina madoda azwisisayo. Kakube khatshana laye uNkulunkulu ukwenza ububi, khatshana kukaSomandla ukona.
11 Anoripira munhu pane zvaanenge aita; anoisa pamusoro pake zvakakodzera mafambiro ake.
Uyamphindisela umuntu ngalokho akwenzileyo; umehlisela lokho okufanele ukuziphatha kwakhe.
12 Hazvingatongogoni kuti Mwari angaita zvakaipa, kuti Wamasimba Ose angaminamisa kururamisira.
Kakungeni engqondweni ukuthi uNkulunkulu angenza ububi, ukuthi uSomandla angakutshila ukwahlulela ngokulunga.
13 Ndianiko akamugadza pamusoro penyika? Ndianiko akamuita mutariri wepasi pose?
Ngubani owambekayo phezu komhlaba na? Ngubani owathi kalawule umhlaba wonke na?
14 Kana kwaiva kufunga kwake, uye akatora mweya wake nokufema kwake,
Aluba wayengathanda asuse umoya wakhe lokuphefumula,
15 marudzi ose avanhu aiparara pamwe chete, uye munhu aizodzokerazve kuguruva.
bonke abantu babengatshabalala kanyekanye, umuntu wayezabuyela othulini.
16 “Kana uchinzwisisa teerera izvi; chinzwa zvandinoreva.
Nxa lilokuzwisisa, zwanini lokhu; lalelani lokhu engikutshoyo.
17 Ko, munhu anovenga kururamisira angatonga here? Ko, muchapomera akarurama uye ane simba here?
Kambe lowo ozonda ukwahlulela ngokulunga angabusa na? Liyamlahla yini Yena oqotho njalo olamandla?
18 Ko, haazi iye anoti kumadzimambo, ‘Hamubatsiri imi,’ uye kumakurukota, ‘Makaipa imi,’
Kayisuye yini othi emakhosini, ‘Kalisizi lutho,’ athi kwabayizikhulu, ‘Libabi,’
19 asingaitiri machinda zvakanaka nokuti machinda, uye asingaitiri zvakanaka vapfumi kupfuura varombo, nokuti vose ibasa ramaoko ake?
ongatshengisi ukwazisa amakhosana kulabanye loba athande abanothileyo kulabayanga, ngoba bonke bangumsebenzi wezandla zakhe?
20 Vanofa kamwe kamwe, pakati pousiku; vanhu vanovhundutswa vagoparara; vane simba vanobviswa zvisingaitwi noruoko rwomunhu.
Bayafa nje masinyane, loba phakathi kobusuku; abantu bayanyikinywa bedlule; abalamandla bayasuswa kungelasandla somuntu.
21 “Meso ake ari panzira dzavanhu; anoona nhambwe imwe neimwe yavo.
Amehlo akhe aphezu kwezindlela zabantu; ubona zonke izinyathelo zabo.
22 Hakuna nzvimbo ine rima, hakuna mumvuri wakadzama, pangavanda vaiti vezvakaipa.
Akulandawo emnyama loba ithunzi elisithileyo, lapho abenzi bobubi abangacatsha khona.
23 Mwari haanei nezvokuedzazve vanhu, kuti vauye vamire pamberi pake vagotongwa.
UNkulunkulu kasweli ukuthi aphinde abahlolisise abantu, ukuze abalethe ekwahlulelweni phambi kwakhe.
24 Anoparadza vane simba asina kumbobvunza, agogadza vamwe panzvimbo yavo.
Engaqalanga wahlola uyabaphahlaza abalamandla abeke abanye endaweni yabo.
25 Nokuti anocherechedza mabasa avo, anovabvisa usiku uye vanopwanyiwa.
Ngoba ezinanzelela izenzo zabo, uyabagenqula ebusuku bahlifizeke.
26 Anovaranga nokuda kwokuipa kwavo, pavanoonekwa nomunhu wose,
Uyabajezisa ngenxa yobubi babo kube segcekeni emuntwini wonke,
27 nokuti vakatsauka pakumutevera uye havana kuva nehanya kana neimwe yenzira dzake.
ngoba baphambuka ekumlandeleni abaze banaka layiphi indlela yakhe.
28 Vakakonzera kuchema kwavarombo kuti kusvike pamberi pake, zvokuti akanzwa kuchema kwavanoshayiwa.
Benza ukukhala kwabayanga kweza phambi kwakhe, laye wakuzwa ukukhala kwabasweleyo.
29 Asi kana akaramba anyerere ndiani angamupa mhosva? Kana akavanza chiso chake, ndianiko angamuona? Zvakadaro iye ari pamusoro pazvose, munhu nendudzi,
Kodwa nxa elokhu ezithulele, ngubani ongamsola na? Angafihla ubuso bakhe ngubani ongambona na? Kanti uphezu komuntu lesizwe ngokufanayo,
30 kuti abvise munhu asina umwari pakutonga, kuti asaisira vanhu misungo.
ukwalela ongamesabiyo uNkulunkulu ukuthi abuse, ukuze angafakeli abantu izifu.
31 “Ngatiti munhu oti kuna Mwari, ‘Ndine mhaka asi handichatadzazve.
Akesithi umuntu athi kuNkulunkulu, ‘Ngilecala kodwa kangisayikona njalo.
32 Ndidzidzisei zvandisingagoni kuona; kana ndakaita zvakaipa, handichazviitizve.’
Ngifundisa lokho engingakuboniyo; nxa ngenze okubi, kangisayikuphinda ngikwenze.’
33 Ko, Mwari angafanira kukupa mubayiro sezvaunoda iwe here, zvaunoramba kutendeuka? Unofanira kusarudza iwe, kwete ini; saka nditaurire zvaunoziva.
Pho uNkulunkulu akuvuze ngokwentando yakho na, wena usala ukuphenduka? Kumele ukhethe wena, hatshi mina; ngakho ngitshela lokho okwaziyo.
34 “Imi vanhu vokunzwisisa taurai, vanhu vakachenjera munondinzwa muti kwandiri,
Amadoda alokuqedisisa azakutsho, amadoda ahlakaniphileyo abangizwayo ngisithi kini,
35 ‘Jobho anotaura asina zivo; mashoko ake haana uchenjeri.’
‘UJobe ukhuluma engelalwazi; amazwi akhe kawalambono.’
36 Haiwa, dai Jobho aedzwa kusvikira pakupedzisira, nokuti anopindura somunhu akaipa!
Oh, uJobe angasake alingwe ngokweqileyo ngoba uphendule njengomuntu omubi!
37 Pachivi chake anowedzera kumukira; anouchira maoko ake pakati pedu sezvisina basa, uye anowedzera mashoko ake okurwa naMwari.”
Phezu kwesono sakhe wengeza ukuhlamuka; uyakloloda ngokuqakeza izandla zakhe phakathi kwethu andise amazwi akhe aphikisa uNkulunkulu.”
