Jobho 4 - Shona Bible 1949 revised 2002

Erifazi anoyeudzira Jobho kuti atende Mwari agorwirwa hake

¹ Ipapo Erifazi muTemani akapindura, akati,

² “Kana munhu akaidza kutaurirana newe, iwe uchava neshungu here? Asi ndiani angazvidzora, akasataura hake?

³ Tarira, iwe wakadzidzisa vazhinji, Iwe wakasimbisa maoko akashaiwa simba.

⁴ Mashoko ako akatsigira akanga achivavarira kuwa, Iwe wakasimbisa mabvi akanga achigweda-gweda.

⁵ Asi zvino zvasvika kwauri, iwe woshaiwa simba; Zvakubata, zvino wotambudzika.

⁶ Ko kutya kwako Mwari harizi simba rako here? Kururama kwenzira dzako haizi tariro yako here?

⁷ Rangarira hako, ndianiko asine mhaka akatongoparara? Kana vakarurama vakatongoparadzwa papi?

⁸ Sezvandakaona ini, vanhu, vanorimira zvakaipa, Navanodyara zvakashata, ndivo vanokohwawo izvozvo.

⁹ Vanoparadzwa nomweya waMwari, Vanopedzwa nokufema kwokutsamwa kwake.

¹⁰ Kunduruma kweshumba nezwi reshumba inehasha, Nameno evana veshumba anoparadzwa.

¹¹ Shumba, yakwegura, inofa nokushaiwa zvingabata; Navana veshumbakadzi vanoparadzirwa.

¹² Zvino ndakaziviswa shoko rakavanda; Nzeve yangu yakanzwa zeve-zeve raro.

¹³ Pandangariro dzinobva pane zvinoonekwa usiku, Kana vanhu vabatwa nehope huru;

¹⁴ Kutya nokubvunda kwakandiwira, Kwakabvundisa mapfupa angu ose.

¹⁵ Ipapo mweya wakapfuura pamberi pechiso changu; Mvere dzenyama yangu dzikasimuka.

¹⁶ Wakamira, asi ndakanga ndisingagoni kuona kuti akadini; Mufananidzo wangu wakanga uri pamberi pameso angu; Kunyarara kukavapo, ndikanzwa izwi richiti,

¹⁷ ‘Ko munhu, anofa, angakunda Mwari pakururama here? Ko munhu angakunda Muiti wake pakunaka here?

¹⁸ Tarirai, haatendi varanda vake; Vatumwa vake anovapa mhaka achiti mapenzi;

¹⁹ Ndoda vanogara mudzimba dzevhu, Nheyo dzadzo dzakateyiwa paguruva, Dzinopwanyiwa sezvivhundudzi.

²⁰ Vanoparadzwa pakati pamagwanani namadekwana; Vanoparara nokusingaperi, pasina munhu ane hanya nazvo.

²¹ Ko bote retente ravo harina kuvhomorwa pamwechete navo here? Vanofa vasina uchenjeri.’ ”
