Jobho 36
1 Erihu akaenderera mberi achiti:
And Elius further continued, and said,
2 “Imbondiitirai mwoyo murefu kwechimwezve chinguva, ipapo ndichakuratidzai kuti pane zvimwe zvakawanda zvokutaura, ndakamiririra Mwari.
Wait for me yet a little while, that I may teach thee: for there is yet speech in me.
3 Ruzivo rwangu runobva kure; ndichati Muiti wangu akarurama.
Having fetched my knowledge from afar, and according to my works,
4 Muzive kuti mashoko angu haasi enhema; akakwana pazivo ari pakati penyu.
I will speak just things truly, and thou shalt not unjustly receive unjust words.
5 “Mwari ane simba asi haazvidzi vanhu; ane simba, uye anozadzisa zvaakaronga.
But know that the Lord will not cast off an innocent man: being mighty in strength of wisdom,
6 Haaregi vakaipa vari vapenyu, asi anopa vanotambudzika kodzero dzavo.
he will not by any means save alive the ungodly: and he will grant the judgment of the poor.
7 Haabvisi meso ake pane vakarurama; anovagadza pamwe chete namadzimambo uye anovasimudzira nokusingaperi.
He will not turn away his eyes from the righteous, but [they shall be] with kings on the throne: and he will establish them in triumph, and they shall be exalted.
8 Asi kana vanhu vakasungwa nengetani, vakabatwa zvakasimba netambo dzokutambudzika,
But they that are bound in fetters shall be holden in cords of poverty.
9 iye anovaudza zvavanenge vaita, kuti vatadza nokuzvikudza zvikuru.
And he shall recount to them their works, and their transgressions, for such will act with violence.
10 Anovaita kuti vateerere kurayirwa, uye anovarayira kuti vatendeuke pane zvakaipa zvavo.
But he will hearken to the righteous: and he has said that they shall turn from unrighteousness.
11 Kana vakateerera uye vakamushumira, vachapedza mazuva avo ose mukubudirira uye makore avo vari mukugutsikana.
If they should hear and serve [him], they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in honour.
12 Asi kana vasingateereri, vachapera nomunondo, uye vachafa vasina zivo.
But he preserves not the ungodly; because they are not willing to know the Lord, and because when reproved they were disobedient.
13 “Vasina umwari mumwoyo yavo vanochengeta pfundipfundi, kunyange paanovasunga, havaridzi mhere kuti vabatsirwe.
And the hypocrites in heart will array wrath [against themselves]; they will not cry, because he has bound them.
14 Vanofa panguva yeujaya hwavo, pakati pezvifeve zvechirume zvepashongwe.
Therefore let their soul die in youth, and their life be wounded by messengers [of death].
15 Asi vaya vanotambudzika anovarwira pakutambudzika kwavo; anotaura kwavari panguva yokurwadziwa kwavo.
Because they afflicted the weak and helpless: and he will vindicate the judgment of the meek.
16 “Ari kukukwezva kubva pamuromo wenhamo, kuti akuise panzvimbo yakasununguka isina zvipinganidzo, pazvivaraidzo zvetafura yenyu izere nezvokudya zvakaisvonaka.
And he has also enticed thee out of the mouth of the enemy:
17 Asi zvino waremedzwa nokutonga kwakafanira vakaipa; kutonga uye kururamisira zvakubata iwe.
[there is] a deep gulf [and] a rushing stream beneath it, and thy table came down full of fatness. Judgment shall not fail from the righteous;
18 Uchenjere kuti parege kuva nomunhu anokunyengera nepfuma; usarega fufuro huru ichikutsausa.
but there shall be wrath upon the ungodly, by reason of the ungodliness of the bribes which they received for iniquities.
19 Ko, pfuma yako kana kushingaira kwesimba rako zvingakutsigira kuti urege kutambudzika here?
Let not [thy] mind willingly turn thee aside from the petition of the feeble that are in distress.
20 Rega kushuva usiku, kuti ukwekweredzere vanhu kure nemisha yavo.
And draw not forth all the mighty [men] by night, so that the people should go up instead of them.
21 Chenjera kuti urege kudzokera kune zvakaipa, izvo zvaunoda pachinzvimbo chokutambudzika.
But take heed lest thou do that which is wrong: for of this thou has made choice because of poverty.
22 “Tarira, Mwari anosimudzirwa musimba rake. Ndianiko mudzidzisi akafanana naye?
Behold, the Mighty One shall prevail by his strength: for who is powerful as he is?
23 Ndianiko akamuratidza nzira dzake, kana akati kwaari, ‘Makanganisa imi?’
And who is he that examines his works? or who can say, he has wrought injustice?
24 Rangarira kukudza basa rake, iro rakarumbidzwa navanhu munziyo.
Remember that his works are great [beyond] those which men have attempted.
25 Marudzi ose avanhu akariona; vanhu vanoritarisa vari kure.
Every man has seen in himself, how many mortals are wounded.
26 Haiwa, Mwari mukuru kupfuura kunzwisisa kwedu! Kuwanda kwamakore ake hakuverengeki.
Behold, the Mighty One is great, and we shall not know [him]: the number of his years is even infinite.
27 “Anokwevera madonhwe emvura kumusoro, anoshanduka achinaya semvura kuhova;
And the drops of rain are numbered by him, and shall be poured out in rain to form a cloud.
28 makore anodurura unyoro hwawo uye mvura yakawanda inonaya pamusoro pavanhu.
The ancient [heavens] shall flow, and the clouds overshadow innumerable mortals: he has fixed a time to cattle, and they know the order of rest. [Yet] by all these things thy understanding is not astonished, neither is thy mind disturbed in [thy] body.
29 Ndianiko anganzwisisa kuparadzira kwaanoita makore, namatinhiriro aanoita ari mudenga rake?
And though one should understand the outspreadings of the clouds, [or] the measure of his tabernacle;
30 Tarirai maparadziro aanoita mheni yake pamativi ake, ichituhwina makadzika megungwa.
behold he will stretch his bow against him, and he covers the bottom of the sea.
31 Ndiyo nzira yaanotonga nayo ndudzi neyaanodziriritira nayo nezvokudya zvakawanda.
For by them he will judge the nations: he will give food to him that has strength.
32 Anozadza maoko ake nemheni agorayira kuti irove paanoda.
He has hidden the light in [his] hands, and given charge concerning it to the interposing [cloud].
33 Kutinhira kwake kunozivisa dutu remvura riri kuuya; kunyange mombe dzinoratidza kusvika kwaro.
The Lord will declare concerning this [to] his friend: [but there is] a portion also for unrighteousness.
