Jobho 5

¹“Chidana zvino kana uchida, asi ndianiko achadavira?

²Kutsamwa kunouraya benzi,

³Ini pachangu ndakaona benzi richidzika midzi,

⁴Vana vake havana kuchengetedzeka,

⁵Vane nzara vanodya zvaakacheka,

⁶Nokuti kutambudzika hakubudi muvhu,

⁷Asi munhu anoberekerwa nhamo,

⁸“Asi dai ndakanga ndirini, ndaiturira mhosva yangu kuna Mwari;

⁹Anoita minana isingagoni kuyerwa,

¹⁰Anopa mvura panyika;

¹¹Vanozvininipisa anovaisa pakakwirira,

¹²Anokonesa zvirongwa zvavanyengeri,

¹³Anobata vakachenjera muunyengeri hwavo,

¹⁴Rima rinosvika pamusoro pavo masikati;

¹⁵Anoponesa vanoshayiwa kubva pamunondo uri pamiromo yavo;

¹⁶Saka varombo vane tariro,

¹⁷“Akaropafadzwa munhu anogadziridzwa zvaari naMwari;

¹⁸Nokuti anopa vanga, asi achisungazve;

¹⁹Achakurwira kubva panjodzi nhanhatu;

²⁰Munzara achakudzikinura kubva parufu,

²¹Uchadzivirirwa kubva pakurova kworurimi,

²²Uchaseka kuparadza nenzara,

²³Nokuti uchaita sungano namabwe esango,

²⁴Uchaziva kuti tende rako rakasimba,

²⁵Uchaziva kuti vana vako vachava vazhinji,

²⁶Uchasvika paguva une simba guru,

²⁷“Takazviedza izvi, uye ndezvechokwadi.
