Jobho 16

1 Ipapo Jobho akapindura akati:

2 “Ndakanzwa zvinhu zvakawanda sezvizvi; mose muri vanyaradzi pasina!

3 Ko, kutaura kwenyu kwamadzokorora kwenguva refu hakuperiwo here? Chii chinokurwadzai kuti murambe muchiita nharo?

4 Neniwo ndaigona kutaura semi, dai imi manga muri pachinzvimbo changu; ndaigona kutaura mashoko okukupikisai uye ndigokudzungudzirai musoro wangu.

5 Asi muromo wangu waizokukurudzirai: kunyaradza kunobva pamuromo wangu kwaizokuvigirai zororo.

6 “Asi kana ndikataura, kurwadziwa kwangu hakuperi; uye kana ndikanyarara, iko hakubvi.

7 Zvirokwazvo, imi Mwari, mandipedza simba; maparadza imba yangu yose.

8 Makandisunga ini, uye chava chapupu; kuondoroka kunondiwira uye kunopupurira zvinondirwisa.

9 Mwari anondirova uye anondibvambura mukutsamwa kwake, uye anondirumanyira meno ake; mudzivisi wangu anondidzvokorera meso ake anobaya.

10 Vanhu vanoshamisa miromo yavo kuti vandiseke; vanondirova padama pakundimhura kwavo, uye vanobatana pamwe chete kuzondirwisa.

11 Mwari akandidzorera mumaoko avanhu vakaipa, uye akandikanda mumaoko avakashata.

12 Zvose zvakanga zvakanaka hazvo kwandiri, asi iye akandivhuna; akandibata napahuro akandipwanya-pwanya. Akandivavarira;

13 vapfuri vake vemiseve vakandikomba. Anobaya itsvo dzangu asina tsitsi, uye anodururira nduru yangu pasi.

14 Nguva nenguva anondirwisa; anondidzingirira somurwi.

15 “Ndakasona nguo dzamasaga kuti ndifukidze ganda rangu, uye ndaviga huma yangu muguruva.

16 Chiso changu chatsvuka nokuchema, rima guru rakomberedza meso angu;

17 asi zvazvo maoko angu haana kuita chisimba, uye munyengetero wangu wakachena.

18 “Iwe nyika, rega kufukidza ropa rangu; kuchema kwangu ngakurege kuwana zororo!

19 Kunyange iko zvino chapupu changu chiri kudenga; murevereri wangu ari kumusoro.

20 Murevereri wangu ndiye shamwari yangu, meso angu paanodurura misodzi kuna Mwari;

21 anomira pachinzvimbo chomunhu achikumbira kuna Mwari, somunhu anokumbirira shamwari yake.

22 “Makore mashoma bedzi asara, ndisati ndaenda parwendo rusingadzokwi.
