Jobho 18

1 Ipapo Bhiridhadhi muShuhi akapindura akati:

2 “Muchapedza kutaura uku riiniko? Chimbonyatsofungai, ipapo tigotaurirana hedu.

3 Tinobatirweiko semombe uye tichionekwa samapenzi pamberi penyu?

4 Iyewe unozvibvamburanya mukutsamwa kwako, nyika ingasiyiwa nokuda kwako here? Kana matombo angafanira kubviswa panzvimbo yawo here?

5 “Mwenje weakaipa unodzimwa; murazvo womoto wake unopera kupisa.

6 Chiedza chiri mutende rake chinova rima; mwenje uri parutivi pake unodzima.

7 Simba renhambwe dzake rinorukutika; mano ake pachake anomuwisira pasi.

8 Tsoka dzake dzinomuwisira mumumbure, uye anodzungaira ari mumaburi awo.

9 Musungo unomubata chitsitsinho; rugombe runomubatisisa.

10 Chishwe chakavanzwa muvhu nokuda kwake; musungo wakaradzikwa munzira yake.

11 Kutyisa kunomuvhundutsa kumativi ose, uye kunomuteverera panhambwe dzake dzose.

12 Pfumvu inomudokwairira; njodzi yakamugaririra paanowa.

13 Inodya zvikamu zveganda rake; dangwe rorufu rinopedza mitezo yake.

14 Anodzurwa kubva patende raanovimba naro agoendeswa kuna mambo anotyisa kwazvo.

15 Moto unogara mutende rake; safuri inopisa inoparadzirwa pamusoro pougaro hwake.

16 Moto unogara mutende rake; uye matavi ake anosvava kumusoro.

17 Kurangarirwa kwake kunopera panyika; haana zita munyika.

18 Anobviswa pachiedza achiendeswa murima, uye anodzingwa panyika.

19 Haana mwana kana chizvarwa chinotevera pakati pavanhu vokwake, hakuna akasara kwaaimbogara.

20 Varume vokumavirira vakakatyamara namagumo ake; varume vokumabvazuva vakabatwa nokutya kukuru.

21 Zvirokwazvo, ndizvo zvakaita ugaro hwomurume akaipa; iyoyi ndiyo nzvimbo yomunhu asingazivi Mwari.”
