Jobho 8
1 Ipapo Bhiridhadhi muShuhi akapindura akati:
Wasephendula uBilidadi umShuhi wathi:
2 “Uchasvika riini uchitaura zvinhu zvakadai? Mashoko ako imhepo inovhuvhuta.
Koze kube nini ukhuluma lezizinto, lamazwi omlomo wakho abe ngumoya olamandla?
3 Ko, Mwari angaminamisa zvakarurama here? Ko, iye Wamasimba Ose angaminamisa kururama here?
UNkulunkulu uyahlanekela isahlulelo yini? Kumbe uSomandla uyahlanekela ukulunga yini?
4 Vana vako pavakamutadzira, akaita kuti varangirwe chivi chavo.
Uba abantwana bakho bonile kuye, yena usebalahlile emandleni esiphambeko sabo;
5 Asi kana ukatarisa kuna Mwari uye ukademba kuna Wamasimba Ose,
uba wena umdinga uNkulunkulu ngovivi, uncenge kuSomandla;
6 kana uri wakachena uye wakarurama, kunyange izvozvi achasimuka kuti akurwire, agokudzoserazve panzvimbo yako chaiyo.
uba uhlambulukile, uqotho; isibili khathesi ubezavuka ngenxa yakho, aphumelelise indawo yokuhlala yokulunga kwakho.
7 Kunyange mavambo ako akanga ari epasi pasi, ramangwana rako richava rokubudirira.
Lanxa ukuqala kwakho bekukuncinyane, kube kanti isiphetho sakho sizakwanda kakhulu.
8 “Bvunza marudzi akare ugocherechedza zvakadzidzwa namadzibaba avo,
Ngoba ake ubuze esizukulwaneni sakuqala, uzilungisele isidingo saboyise.
9 nokuti isu takaberekwa zuro uye hatina chatinoziva, uye mazuva edu panyika akangoita somumvuri.
Ngoba singabezolo, njalo kasazi, ngoba insuku zethu emhlabeni ziyisithunzi.
10 Ko, havangakudzidzisi uye vagokuudza here? Ko, havangakuvigiri mashoko anobva pakunzwisisa kwavo here?
Kabayikukufundisa yini, bakutshele, bakhuphe amazwi enhliziyweni yabo?
11 Ko, nhokwe dzingamera pasina nhope here? Ko, tsanga dzingararama pasina mvura here?
Imihlanga ingakhula lapho okungelaxhaphozi khona yini? Ibhuma likhule lapho okungelamanzi khona?
12 Dzichiri kumera uye dzisati dzatemwa, dzinokurumidza kuoma kupinda uswa.
Nxa lisebuluhlazeni balo lingakakhiwa, kube kanti libuna kuqala kwazo zonke izihlahlakazana.
13 Ndizvo zvakaita magumo avose vanokanganwa Mwari; saizvozvo tariro yavasina Mwari inoparara.
Zinjalo indlela zabo bonke abamkhohlwayo uNkulunkulu, lethemba lomzenzisi lizabhubha.
14 Zvaanovimba nazvo hazvina kusimba, zvaanovimba nazvo mambure edandemutande.
Othemba lakhe lizaqunywa, lokuthemba kwakhe kuyibulembu besayobe.
15 Anosendamira padandemutande rake, asi rinobvaruka; anobatirira pariri, asi harimiri.
Uyeyama endlini yakhe, kodwa kayimi; ubambelela kiyo, kodwa kayihlali.
16 Akafanana nomuti wakanyatsodiridzwa pamushana, unotandavadza mabukira awo pamusoro pebindu;
Uluhlaza phambi kwelanga, lamahlumela akhe aphuma esivandeni sakhe.
17 unomonera midzi yawo pamurwi wamatombo, uye unotsvaka nzvimbo pakati pamatombo.
Impande zakhe zithandele enqunjini; ubona indawo yamatshe.
18 Asi kana ukatsemuka ukadzurwa kubva panzvimbo yawo, nzvimbo iyo ichauramba igoti, ‘Handina kumbokuona.’
Uba emchitha endaweni yakhe, izamphika ithi: Kangizange ngikubone.
19 Zvirokwazvo upenyu hwawo, hunooma, uye mimwe miti inomera ichibuda muvhu.
Khangela, le yintokozo yendlela yakhe; njalo kuzakhula abanye emhlabathini.
20 “Zvirokwazvo Mwari haarambi munhu asina mhaka uye haasimbisi maoko avaiti vezvakaipa.
Khangela, uNkulunkulu kayikumlahla opheleleyo, kabambi isandla sabenzi bobubi.
21 Achazadza muromo wako nokuseka uye miromo yako nokupururudza.
Aze agcwalise umlomo wakho ngohleko, lezindebe zakho ngokumemeza kwentokozo.
22 Vavengi vako vachashongedzwa kunyadziswa, uye matende avakaipa haachazovapozve.”
Abakuzondayo bazakwembeswa ngenhloni, lethente lababi lingabi khona.
