¹Ipapo Erifazi muTemani akapindura, akati,

¹Laj Elifaz, Temán xtenamit, quixye re laj Job:

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

²—Cui cßaßru takaye âcue, mâre incßaß tâcuulak châcuu. Abanan incßaß naru nak incßaß nakaye âcue li cßaßru nakacßoxla.

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

³Lâat catcßutuc lix yâlal chiruheb nabal ut caqßue xcacuilal xchßôleb li incßaß cauheb xchßôl.

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

⁴Lâat caqßue xcacuil xchßôleb li ac tßaneqßueb re. Ut caqßue xnaßlebeb li yôqueb chi chßinânc xchßôl.

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

⁵¿Cßaßut nak incßaß nacacßojob âchßôl lâat nak xchal li raylal saß âbên? Ut, ¿cßaßut nak nacatxucuac?

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

⁶¿Ma incßaß ta biß tîc âchßôl lâat chiru li Dios? Ut, ¿ma mâcuaßat ta biß aj cßanjel chiru? ¿Ma mâcuaßat ta biß jun cuînk châbil ânaßleb? ¿Cßaßut nak incßaß cßojcßo âchßôl riqßuin li Dios?

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

⁷Cßoxlan caßchßinak. ¿Ma cuan ta biß junak tîc xchßôl tâsachekß ru xban li raylal? Eb li tîqueb xchßôleb incßaß nequeßsacheß ru.

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

⁸Lâin ninqßue retal nak li ani naxbânu mâusilal, mâusilal ajcuiß naxcßul.

⁹Vanoparadzwa nomweya waMwari, Vanopedzwa nokufema kokutsamwa kwake.

⁹Li Dios naxqßueheb chi sachc. Xban xjoskßil li Dios, naxsacheb ru chi junaj cua.

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

¹⁰Usta teßxjap re xbaneb xjoskßil, joß nak nequeßxjap re li cakcoj, li Dios târisi lix cuanquileb ut tixsacheb ru re nak teßxcanab xjapbal reheb.

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

¹¹Teßcâmk chi incßaß teßxbânu li cßaßru nequeßxcßoxla xbânunquil joß nak nequeßcam li cakcoj chi incßaß nequeßxchap lix tibeb. Ut eb li ralal xcßajoleb teßxchaßchaßi ribeb yalak bar.

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

¹²Xcßulun jun li esilal cuiqßuin. Chanchan xoleßxhasba saß inxic.

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

¹³Chi kßek nak ac yôqueb chi cuârc chixjunileb li cristian, quinmatqßue jun li matcß kßaxal xiu xiu.

¹⁴Kutya nokubvunda kwakandiwira, Kwakabvundisa mafupa angu ose.

¹⁴Quichal jun inxiu ut ninsicsot xincana. Nasicsot chixjunil intibel xban inxiu.

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

¹⁵Quicuecßa nak quinumeß jun li ikß saß xnakß cuu, ut quixakli li cuismal xban inxiu.

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

¹⁶Quixakli jun chicuu, abanan incßaß quicuil ani. Mâcßaß na-ecßan. Junpât na chic nak quicuabi jun xyâb cux quixye,

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

¹⁷¿Ma kßaxal tîc ta biß xchßôl li cuînk chiru li Dios? ¿Ma kßaxal tzßakal ta biß re ru lix yußam chiru li Dios li quiyîban re?

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

¹⁸Incßaß, xban nak li Dios incßaß naxcßojob xchßôl saß xbêneb li ángel li cuanqueb saß choxa, xban nak naxnau nak cuanqueb xpaltil.

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

¹⁹¿Ma tojaß ta chic riqßuin li cuînk tixcßojob xchßôl li Dios? Li cuînk kßaxal kßun xchßôl xban nak chßochß oquenak ut teßosokß joß nak na-osoß li cab xban li cßâms.

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

²⁰Li cristian mâre yoßyôk chiru li ekßela ut chiru li ecuu mâ anihak chic. Ac x-osoß. Tâcâmk chi junaj cua ut mâ ani chic tâpatzßok re.¿Ma incßaß ta biß tâosokß lix chßinaßusal nak tâcâmk? Tâcâmk chi toj mâjiß naxtau xnaßleb”, chan li yô chak chi âtinac.

²¹Ko bote retende ravo harina kuvhomorwa pamwechete navo here? Vanofa vasina uchenjeri.

²¹¿Ma incßaß ta biß tâosokß lix chßinaßusal nak tâcâmk? Tâcâmk chi toj mâjiß naxtau xnaßleb”, chan li yô chak chi âtinac.
