Jobho 7:1-21
7 “Upenyu hwemunhu panyika hahuna kufanana nebasa rekumanikidzwa here,Uye mazuva ake haana kufanana neemunhu wemaricho here?+
2 Anosuwa mumvuri semuranda,Uye anomirira mubhadharo wake semunhu wemaricho.+
3 Saka ndakapiwa mwedzi isina zvainobatsira,Uye ndakaverengerwa usiku hwekutambudzika.+
4 Pandinorara ndinobvunza kuti, ‘Ndichamuka riini?’+
Asi usiku pahunenge huchifamba, ndinongoshanyarika kusvikira kwachena.*
5 Nyama yangu yakazara nehonye nemakoko etsvina;+Ganda rangu razara makwati neurwa.+
6 Mazuva angu anomhanya kupfuura chirukiso chemuruki,+Uye anoguma pasina tariro.+
7 Yeukai kuti upenyu hwangu imhepo,+Kuti ziso rangu harichafi rakaona mufaro* zvakare.
8 Ziso riri kundiona iye zvino harichazondionizve;Maziso enyu achanditsvaga, asi ndinenge ndaenda.+
9 Segore rinoparara ronyangarika,Munhu anopinda muGuva* haabudimo.+
10 Haazodzokizve kumba kwake,Uye imba yake haizomuzivizve.+
11 Saka ini handisi kuzodzora muromo wangu.
Ndichataura ndichitambudzika;Ndichanyunyuta ndichirwadziwa!*+
12 Ndiri gungwa kana kuti zimhuka remugungwa here,Zvamuri kundiisira murindi kuti andirinde?
13 Pandinoti, ‘Mubhedha wangu uchandinyaradza;Mubhedha wangu ucharerutsa kutambura kwangu,’
14 Munobva maita kuti ndirote zvinhu zvinotyisaUye munondivhundutsa nezviratidzo,
15 Zvekuti ndingatosarudza* kutadza kufema,Kusarudza kufa pane kuramba ndiine muviri wangu.*+
16 Ndinosema upenyu hwangu;+ handidi kuramba ndichirarama.
Siyanai neni, nekuti mazuva angu akafanana nekungofema kamwe chete.+
17 Munhu chii kuti muzvinetse nezvakeUye kuti mufunge nezvake?*+
18 Nei muchimuongorora mangwanani ega egaUye muchigara muchimuedza?+
19 Nei musingambobvisawo maziso enyu pandiriKuti mumbondipawo mukana wekumedza mate?+
20 Kana ndakatadza, ndingakuitai chii, imi Mucherechedzi wevanhu?+
Nei mangoti nangananga neni?
Ndava kukuremerai here?
21 Nei musingaregereri kudarika kwanguMokanganwira kukanganisa kwangu?
Nekuti ndava pedyo kurara muguruva,+Uye muchanditsvaga, asi ndinenge ndaenda.”
