Yobu 10
1 “Ine ndatopa nawo moyo wanga; choncho ndidzanena zodandaula zanga momasuka ndipo ndidzayankhula mwa kuwawidwa mtima kwanga.
"My soul is weary of my life. I will give free course to my complaint. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
2 Ndidzati kwa Mulungu wanga: Musandiweruze kuti ndine wolakwa, koma mundiwuze chifukwa chimene Inu mukukanganira ndi ine.
I will tell God, 'Do not condemn me. Show me why you contend with me.
3 Kodi mumakondwera mukamandizunza, kunyoza ntchito ya manja anu, chonsecho mukusekerera ndi zochita za anthu oyipa?
Is it good to you that you should oppress, that you should despise the work of your hands, and smile on the counsel of the wicked?
4 Kodi maso anu ali ngati a munthu? Kodi mumaona zinthu monga momwe amazionera munthu?
Do you have eyes of flesh? Or do you see as man sees?
5 Kodi masiku anu ali ngati masiku a munthu, kapena zaka zanu ngati zaka za munthu,
Are your days as the days of mortals, or your years as man's years,
6 kuti Inu mufufuze zolakwa zanga ndi kulondola tchimo langa,
that you inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?
7 ngakhale mukudziwa kuti sindine wolakwa ndiponso kuti palibe amene angandilanditse mʼdzanja lanu?
Although you know that I am not wicked, there is no one who can deliver out of your hand.
8 “Munandiwumba ndi kundipanga ndi manja anu. Kodi tsopano Inu mudzatembenuka ndi kundiwononga?
"'Your hands have framed me and fashioned me altogether, yet you destroy me.
9 Kumbukirani kuti munandipanga ndi dothi, kodi tsopano mundibwezeranso ku fumbi?
Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay. Will you bring me into dust again?
10 Suja munapatsa abambo anga mphamvu zoti andibale, suja munandikuza bwino mʼmimba mwa amayi anga?
Haven't you poured me out like milk, and curdled me like cheese?
11 Munandikuta ndi khungu ndi mnofu ndi kundilumikiza pamodzi ndi mafupa ndi mitsempha?
You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
12 Munandipatsa moyo ndi kundionetsa chifundo chanu, ndipo munasamalira bwino moyo wanga.
You have granted me life and loving kindness. Your visitation has preserved my spirit.
13 “Koma izi ndi zimene munabisa mu mtima mwanu, ndipo ndikudziwa kuti zinali mʼmaganizo anu:
Yet you hid these things in your heart. I know that this is with you:
14 Kuti ngati ndingachimwe mudzakhala mukundipenyetsetsa ndipo kuti simudzalola kuti ndisalangidwe chifukwa cha kulakwa kwanga.
if I sin, then you mark me. You will not acquit me from my iniquity.
15 Ngati ndili wolakwa, tsoka langa! Koma ngakhale ndili wosalakwa sindingathe kutukula mutu wanga, pakuti ndagwidwa ndi manyazi ndipo ndamizidwa mʼmavuto anga.
If I am wicked, woe to me. If I am righteous, I still shall not lift up my head, being filled with disgrace, and conscious of my affliction.
16 Ndipo ndikatukula mutu wanga, Inu mumandisaka ngati mkango ndiponso mumandiopseza ndi mphamvu yanu.
And if I lift myself up, you hunt me like a lion. Again you show yourself powerful to me.
17 Mumabweretsa mboni zatsopano potsutsana nane ndipo mkwiyo wanu pa ine umanka nukulirakulira ndi magulu anu olimbana nane amanka nachulukirachulukira.
You renew your witnesses against me, and increase your indignation on me. Changes and warfare are with me.
18 “Chifukwa chiyani Inu munalola kuti ndibadwe? Ndi bwino ndikanafa diso lililonse lisanandione.
"'Why, then, have you brought me forth out of the womb? I wish I had given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me.
19 Ndikanapanda kubadwa, kapena akanangonditenga nditabadwa kupita nane ku manda!
I should have been as though I had not been. I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
20 Kodi masiku anga owerengeka sali pafupi kutha? Ndilekeni kuti ndipumule pangʼono pokha
Aren't my days few? Cease then. Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,
21 ndisanapite ku malo amene munthu sabwererako ku dziko la imfa ndi kwa mdima wandiweyani,
before I go where I shall not return from, to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
22 ku dziko la mdima wandiweyani ndi chisokonezo, kumene kuwala kumakhala ngati mdima.”
the land dark as midnight, of the shadow of death, without any order, where the light is as midnight.'"
