Ayubu 27
1 Ndipo Ayubu akaendelea na hoja yake, akasema:
Zvino Jobho akapfuurira mberi nokutaura achiti:
2 “Hakika kama Mungu aishivyo, aliyeninyima haki yangu, Mwenyezi ambaye amenifanya nionje uchungu wa nafsi,
“Zvirokwazvo naMwari mupenyu, iye akaramba kundiruramisira, iye Wamasimba Ose, akaita kuti ndinzwe shungu pamwoyo wangu,
3 kwa muda wote nitakaokuwa na uhai ndani yangu, nayo pumzi ya Mungu ikiwa puani mwangu,
chero ndichine upenyu mandiri, ndichine kufema kwaMwari mumhino dzangu,
4 midomo yangu haitanena uovu, wala ulimi wangu hautatamka udanganyifu.
miromo yangu haingatauri zvakashata, uye rurimi rwangu harungatauri nokunyengera.
5 Sitakubaliana nanyi kabisa kuwa mko sahihi; hadi nife, sitakana uadilifu wangu.
Handingambobvumi kuti muri kutaura chokwadi; kusvikira ndafa, handizorambi kururama kwangu.
6 Nitadumisha haki yangu wala sitaiacha; dhamiri yangu haitanisuta muda wote ninaoishi.
Ndichachengetedza kururama kwangu uye handingakuregedzi; hana yangu haingandipi mhosva ndichiri mupenyu.
7 “Watesi wangu wawe kama waovu, nao adui zangu wawe kama wasio haki!
“Vavengi vangu ngavaite savakaipa, navadzivisi vangu savasakarurama!
8 Kwa maana mtu asiyemcha Mungu analo tegemeo gani anapokatiliwa mbali, Mungu anapouondoa uhai wake?
Ko, munhu asina Mwari ane tariro yeiko kana afa, Mwari paanotora upenyu hwake?
9 Je, Mungu husikiliza kilio chake, shida zimjiapo?
Ko, Mwari anoteerera kuchema kwake paanowirwa nenhamo here?
10 Je, anaweza kumfurahia Mwenyezi? Je, atamwita Mungu nyakati zote?
Iye angawana mufaro muna Wamasimba Ose here? Ko, achadana kuna Mwari panguva dzose here?
11 “Nitawafundisha juu ya uweza wa Mungu; njia za Mwenyezi sitazificha.
“Ndichakudzidzisai nezvesimba raMwari; nzira dzaWamasimba Ose handingadzivanzi.
12 Ninyi nyote mmeona hili wenyewe. Ni ya nini basi mazungumzo haya yasiyo na maana?
Imi mose makazviona izvi pachenyu. Zvino munotaurireiko zvisina maturo?
13 “Hili ndilo fungu ambalo Mungu humpa mtu mwovu, urithi ule mtu mdhalimu anapokea kutoka kwa Mwenyezi:
“Haano magumo anogoverwa vakaipa naMwari, iyo nhaka inogamuchirwa navanhu vano utsinye, kubva kuna Wamasimba Ose.
14 Hata kama watoto wake watakuwa wengi kiasi gani, fungu lao ni kuuawa kwa upanga; wazao wake hawatakuwa kamwe na chakula cha kuwatosha.
Hazvinei kuti vana vake vakawanda sei, magumo avo munondo; zvizvarwa zvake hazvizombowani zvokudya zvakakwana.
15 Tauni itawazika wale watakaonusurika miongoni mwao, nao wajane wao hawatawaombolezea.
Denda richaviga vaya vanenge vasara, uye chirikadzi dzavo hadzingavachemi.
16 Ajapokusanya fedha nyingi kama mavumbi, na mavazi kama malundo ya udongo wa mfinyanzi,
Kunyange akaunganidza sirivha seguruva, uye zvokupfeka zvikaita somurwi wevhu,
17 yale yote mtu mwovu aliyojiwekea akiba, mwenye haki atayavaa, naye asiye na hatia ataigawanya fedha yake.
zvaanowana zvichapfekwa navakarurama, uye vasina mhaka vachagovana sirivha yake.
18 Nyumba aijengayo ni kama utando wa buibui, kama kibanda alichotengeneza mlinzi.
Imba yaanovaka yakaita sedende rechipfukuto, sechirindo chakaitwa nomurindi.
19 Yeye hulala akiwa tajiri, lakini ndiyo mara ya mwisho; afunguapo macho yake, yote yametoweka.
Anovata pasi akapfuma, asi haachazviitizve; paanosvinura meso ake, wanei zvose zvaenda.
20 Vitisho humjia kama mafuriko; dhoruba humkumba ghafula usiku.
Zvinotyisa zvinomubata kufanana namafashamu; dutu rinomubvutira kure panguva yousiku.
21 Upepo mkali wa mashariki humchukua, naye hutoweka; humzoa kutoka mahali pake.
Mhepo yokumabvazuva inomutakura ichimuendesa kure, achibva zvachose. Inomukukura kubva panzvimbo yake.
22 Humvurumisha bila huruma, huku akikimbia kasi kukwepa nguvu zake.
Inovhuvhuta paari isingamunzwiri ngoni, paanenge achitiza akati tande achitiza simba rayo.
23 Upepo humpigia makofi kwa dharau, na kumfukuza atoke mahali pake.
Inomuomberera maoko ichimuseka, ichishinyira ichiita kuti abve panzvimbo yake.
