Jobho

33 “Asi iye zvino Jobho, inzwa mashoko angu;

Teerera zvese zvandiri kutaura.

 2 Chinzwa! Ndinofanira kushama muromo wangu;

Rurimi rwangu runofanira* kutaura.

 3 Mashoko angu anozivisa kururama kwemwoyo wangu,+

Uye miromo yangu inonyatsotaura zvandinoziva.

 4 Mweya* waMwari wakandisika,+

Uye mweya wekufema weWemasimbaose wakaita kuti ndive mupenyu.+

 5 Ndipindure kana uchikwanisa;

Ronga mashoko pamberi pangu; gadzirira.

 6 Ona! Ndakangofanana newe pamberi paMwari wechokwadi;

Ndakaumbwa nevhu sezvawakaitwawo.+

 7 Saka haufaniri kunditya,

Uye hapana chiri pandiri chinofanira kukutyisa.

 8 Asi wakataura ndichinzwa,

Ndakaramba ndichingonzwa mashoko aya,

 9 ‘Ndakachena, handina chitadzo;+

Ndakachena, handina chivi.+

10 Asi Mwari anondiwanira mhosva;

Anondiona semuvengi wake.+

11 Anoisa tsoka dzangu muzvisungo zvematanda;*

Anopenengura nzira dzangu dzese.’+

14 Nekuti Mwari anotaura kamwe chete uye kechipiri,

Asi hapana anomuteerera,

15 Kuhope, muchiratidzo cheusiku,+

Vanhu pavanofa nehope

Vakarara pamibhedha yavo.

16 Anobva avhura nzeve dzavo+

Uye anoisa mirayiro yake mavari,

17 Kuti aite kuti munhu arege zvakaipa+

Uye kuti aite kuti munhu asazvikudza.+

18 Mwari anoponesa mweya wake kuti usapinda* mugomba,*+

Upenyu hwake kuti hurege kuparadzwa nebakatwa.*

19 Munhu anotsiurwawo nemarwadzo ari pamubhedha wake

Uye nekurwadza kunenge kuchiita mapfupa ake,

20 Zvekuti anotanga kusema chingwa,

Uye anoramba* kunyange zvekudya zvakanaka.+

21 Nyama yake inopera zvekusaoneka,

Uye mapfupa ake aisaoneka anobuda pachena.

22 Mweya wake unoswedera* pedyo negomba;*

Upenyu hwake hunoswedera pedyo nevaya vanounza rufu.

23 Kana nhume* ikauya kwaari,

Mumiririri mumwe chete pachiuru,

Kuti izoudza munhu zvinhu zvakarurama,

24 Mwari anobva amunzwira nyasha oti,

‘Itai kuti asapinda mugomba!*+

25 Nyama yake ngaive itsva* kupfuura paaiva mudiki;+

Ngaadzokere kumazuva esimba reudiki hwake.’+

26 Achateterera Mwari,+ uyo achamufarira,

Uye achaona chiso chake achipembera,

Uye iye achadzorera munhu kururama kwake.

27 Munhu iyeye achazivisa* vanhu achiti,

‘Ndakatadza+ uye ndakakanganisa zvinhu zvakarurama,

Asi handina kuwana zvakandikodzera.*

28 Adzikinura mweya wangu kuti urege* kupinda mugomba,*+

Uye upenyu hwangu huchaona chiedza.’

29 Chokwadi Mwari anoita zvinhu zvese izvi

Kaviri, katatu, achiitira munhu,

30 Kuti amudzore* kubva mugomba,*

Kuti avhenekerwe nechiedza cheupenyu.+

33 Kana usina chekutaura, unofanira kunditeerera;

Ramba wakanyarara, ndikudzidzise uchenjeri.”
