< Jobho 40 >

1 Jehovha akati kuna Jobho:
Moreover, the LORD answered Job, and said,
2 “Ko, munhu anokakavadzana noWamasimba Ose angamurayira here? Anopomera Mwari mhosva ngaamupindure!”
Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct [him]? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
3 Ipapo Jobho akapindura Jehovha akati:
Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
4 “Ini handina maturo, ndingakupindurai seiko? Ndafumbira muromo wangu.
Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.
5 Ndakataura kamwe chete, asi handina mhinduro, kaviri, asi handichapamhidzazve.”
Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yes, twice; but I will proceed no further.
6 Ipapo Jehovha akataura naJobho ari mudutu akati:
Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
7 “Chizvisunga chiuno somurume; ini ndichakubvunza, uye iwe uchandipindura.
Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou to me.
8 “Ko, iwe unoda kukanganisa kururamisira kwangu here? Ko, unondipomera kuti uzviruramise here?
Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
9 Uno ruoko rwakaita sorwaMwari here, uye inzwi rako ringatinhira serake here?
Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like his?
10 Chizvishongedza zvino nokukudzwa uye nokubwinya, uye zvishongedze nokuremekedzwa uye noumambo.
Deck thyself now [with] majesty and excellence; and array thyself with glory and beauty.
11 Regedzera ukasha hwehasha dzako, utarire munhu mumwe nomumwe anozvikudza ugomuderedza,
Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one [that is] proud, and abase him.
12 tarira murume mumwe nomumwe anozvikudza ugomuninipisa, pwanya vakaipa ipapo pavamire.
Look on every one [that is] proud, [and] bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
13 Uvavige vose pamwe chete muguruva; ufukidze zviso zvavo muguva.
Hide them in the dust together; bind their faces in secret.
14 Ipapo ini pachangu ndichabvuma kwauri kuti ruoko rwako rworudyi rungakuponesa.
Then will I also confess to thee that thy own right hand can save thee.
15 “Tarisa kumvuu, yandakaita pamwe chete newe uye inofura uswa senzombe.
Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
16 Simba rainaro muchiuno chayo, kusimba kwayo kuri mumakakava edumbu rayo.
Lo now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the navel of his belly.
17 Muswe wayo unotsvikidza somusidhari; marunda ezvidya zvayo akasonanidzwa.
He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his male organs are wrapped together.
18 Mapfupa ayo ipombi dzendarira, miromo yayo yakaita setsvimbo dzesimbi.
His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass; his bones [are] like bars of iron.
19 Iyo iri pachinzvimbo chokutanga pakati pamabasa aMwari, asi Muiti wayo anogona kusvika pairi nomunondo wake.
He [is] the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach [him].
20 Zvikomo zvinoivigira zvibereko zvayo, uye zvikara zvose zvesango zvinotambira pedyo nayo.
Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21 Inovata pasi pemiti yemirotasi yakavanda pakati petsanga munhope.
He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22 Mirotasi inoivanza pamimvuri yayo; mikonachando iri mujinga morukova inoipoteredza.
The shady trees cover him [with] their shadow; the willows of the brook encompass him.
23 Panozara rwizi, iyo haivhunduki; inodekara zvayo, kunyange Jorodhani rukapfachukira kumuromo wayo.
Behold, he drinketh up a river, [and] hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
24 Pano munhu angagona kuibata neziso, kana kuiteya uye nokuibaya pamhino yayo here?
He taketh it with his eyes: [his] nose pierceth through snares.
