Jobho 5
1 “Chidana zvino kana uchida, asi ndianiko achadavira? Uchadzokera kuno upiko wavatsvene?
“Memeza nxa uthanda, kodwa ngubani ozakuphendula na? Uzaphendukela kuwuphi wabangcwele na?
2 Kutsamwa kunouraya benzi, uye godo rinouraya asina mano.
Ukucaphuka kuyasibulala isiwula lomhawu uyamqeda oyisithutha.
3 Ini pachangu ndakaona benzi richidzika midzi, asi pakarepo imba yake yakatukwa.
Mina ngokwami sengasibona isiwula siphumelela, kodwa masinyane nje indlu yaso yayisiqalekisiwe.
4 Vana vake havana kuchengetedzeka, vanopwanyiwa padare vasina anovarwira.
Abantwabaso kabavikelekanga lakancinyane, baphoselwa entolongweni bengelamvikeli.
5 Vane nzara vanodya zvaakacheka, vachizvitora kunyange pakati peminzwa, uye vane nyota vanodokwairira pfuma yake.
Abalambileyo bayazidlela isivuno sakhe, besithatha kanye lasemeveni, labomileyo bahahabela inotho yakhe.
6 Nokuti kutambudzika hakubudi muvhu, uye nhamo haimeri muvhu.
Ngoba ubunzima kabugobhozi emhlabathini, loba uhlupho luhlume phansi.
7 Asi munhu anoberekerwa nhamo, zvirokwazvo sokubarika kwomoto kunokwira kumusoro.
Kodwa umuntu uzalelwa ukuhlupheka njengoba ngeqiniso inhlansi zomlilo ziqhatshela phezulu.
8 “Asi dai ndakanga ndirini, ndaiturira mhosva yangu kuna Mwari; ndaiisa mhaka yangu pamberi pake.
Kodwa aluba ubuyimi, bengizamncenga uNkulunkulu; bengizakwethula udubo lwami kuye.
9 Anoita minana isingagoni kuyerwa, zvishamiso zvisingagoni kuverengwa.
Uyazenza izimanga ezingelakulinganiswa, imimangaliso engelakubalwa.
10 Anopa mvura panyika; anotuma mvura pamusoro penyika.
Uyanisa izulu emhlabeni; uthumela amanzi elizweni.
11 Vanozvininipisa anovaisa pakakwirira, uye vaya vanochema vanosimudzirwa kuchinzvimbo chokuchengetedzwa.
Abaphansi uyabakhweza phezulu, lalabo abakhalayo ubaphakamisela ekuphepheni.
12 Anokonesa zvirongwa zvavanyengeri, kuitira kuti maoko avo abate pasina.
Uyawafubisa amacebo amaqili, ukuze izandla zawo zingaphumeleli.
13 Anobata vakachenjera muunyengeri hwavo, uye zvirongwa zvenhubu zvinokukurwa.
Uyababamba abahlakaniphileyo ebuqilini babo, kuthi amaqhinga eziphoxo achitheke.
14 Rima rinosvika pamusoro pavo masikati; vanotsvanzvadzira masikati makuru sapausiku.
Ubumnyama buyabehlela emini; phakathi kwemini bayaphumputha kungathi kusebusuku.
15 Anoponesa vanoshayiwa kubva pamunondo uri pamiromo yavo; anovaponesa pakudzvinya kwavane simba.
Uyabasindisa abaswelayo baphephe inkemba emlonyeni wabo; uyabasindisa ekubanjweni ngabalamandla.
16 Saka varombo vane tariro, uye kusaruramisira kunopfumbira muromo wako.
Ngakho abayanga balalo ithemba, ukwahlulela kubi kuvala owakho umlomo.
17 “Akaropafadzwa munhu anogadziridzwa zvaari naMwari; saka usazvidza kuranga kwoWamasimba Ose.
Ubusisiwe umuntu oqondiswa nguNkulunkulu; ngakho ungaseyisi isijeziso sikaSomandla.
18 Nokuti anopa vanga, asi achisungazve; anokuvadza, asi maoko ake anorapazve.
Ngoba uyagwaza, kodwa aphinde abophe amanxeba; uyalimaza kodwa izandla zakhe njalo ziyapholisa.
19 Achakurwira kubva panjodzi nhanhatu; kunyange panomwe hakuna kukuvadzwa kuchakuwira.
Uzakuhlenga ezinhluphekweni eziyisithupha; kweziyisikhombisa kawuyikuwelwa yingozi.
20 Munzara achakudzikinura kubva parufu, uye muhondo kubva pakubaya kwomunondo.
Ngesikhathi sendlala uzakuhlenga ekufeni, lasempini akuhlenge ekugaleleni kwenkemba.
21 Uchadzivirirwa kubva pakurova kworurimi, uye haungatyi panosvika kuparadza.
Uzavikelwa ekuhletshweni, ungaze wesaba nxa kufika incithakalo.
22 Uchaseka kuparadza nenzara, uye haufaniri kutya zvikara zvenyika.
Uzakuhleka ukuchithakala kanye lendlala, njalo ungaze wazesaba izilo zomhlaba.
23 Nokuti uchaita sungano namabwe esango, uye zvikara zvesango zvichava norugare newe.
Ngoba uzakuba lesivumelwano lamatshe eganga, lezinyamazana zeganga zizahlalisana kuhle lawe.
24 Uchaziva kuti tende rako rakasimba, uchaverenga zvinhu zvako ugowana zvakakwana.
Uzakwazi ukuthi ithente lakho livikelekile; uzahlolisisa impahla yakho uthole kungelalutho olungekho.
25 Uchaziva kuti vana vako vachava vazhinji, uye zvizvarwa zvako zvichaita souswa hwenyika.
Uzakwazi ukuthi abantwabakho bazakuba banengi, lesizukulwane sakho sibe ngangotshani bomhlaba.
26 Uchasvika paguva une simba guru, sezvisote zvakaunganidzwa panguva yazvo.
Uzakuza engcwabeni usukhulile okugcweleyo njengezikhwebu zamabele eziqoqwa seziphelele.
27 “Takazviedza izvi, uye ndezvechokwadi. Saka chizvinzwa ugozviita iwe pachako.”
Sesikuhlolile lokhu, kuliqiniso. Ngakho kuzwisise, ukulandele wena ngokwakho.”
