Jobho 16

1Ipapo Jobho akapindura akati:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

14Nguva nenguva anondirwisa; anondidzingirira somurwi.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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