Yobu 21
1 Pamenepo Yobu anayankha kuti,
Forsothe Joob answeride, and seide,
2 “Mvetserani bwino mawu anga; ichi chikhale chitonthozo changa chochokera kwa inu.
Y preye, here ye my wordis, and do ye penaunce.
3 Ndiloleni ndiyankhule ndipo ndikatha kuyankhula munditonzetonze.
Suffre ye me, that Y speke; and leiye ye aftir my wordis, if it schal seme worthi.
4 “Kodi ine ndikudandaulira munthu? Tsono ndilekerenji kupsa mtima?
Whether my disputyng is ayens man, that skilfuli Y owe not to be sori?
5 Ndipenyeni ndipo mudabwe; mugwire dzanja pakamwa.
Perseyue ye me, and be ye astonyed; and sette ye fyngur on youre mouth.
6 Ndikamaganiza zimenezi ndimachita mantha kwambiri; thupi langa limanjenjemera.
And whanne Y bithenke, Y drede, and tremblyng schakith my fleisch.
7 Chifukwa chiyani anthu oyipa amakhalabe ndi moyo, amakalamba ndi kusanduka amphamvu?
Whi therfor lyuen wickid men? Thei ben enhaunsid, and coumfortid with richessis.
8 Amaona ana awo akukhazikika pamodzi nawo, zidzukulu zawo zikukula bwino iwo akuona.
Her seed dwellith bifor hem; the cumpeny of kynesmen, and of sones of sones dwellith in her siyt.
9 Mabanja awo amakhala pa mtendere ndipo sakhala ndi mantha; mkwapulo wa Mulungu suwakhudza nʼkomwe.
Her housis ben sikur, and pesible; and the yerde of God is not on hem.
10 Ngʼombe zawo zazimuna sizilephera kubereketsa; ngʼombe zawo zazikazi sizipoloza.
The cow of hem conseyuede, and caluede not a deed calf; the cow caluyde, and is not priued of hir calf.
11 Amatulutsa ana awo ngati gulu la nkhosa; makanda awo amavinavina pabwalo.
Her litle children goen out as flockis; and her yonge children `maken fulli ioye with pleies.
12 Amayimba nyimbo pogwiritsa ntchito matambolini ndi azeze; amakondwa pakumva kulira kwa chitoliro.
Thei holden tympan, and harpe; and ioien at the soun of orgun.
Thei leden in goodis her daies; and in a point thei goen doun to hellis. (Sheol h7585)
14 Koma anthuwo amawuza Mulungu kuti, ‘Tichokereni!’ Ife tilibe chikhumbokhumbo chofuna kudziwa njira zanu.
Whiche men seiden to God, Go thou awei fro us; we nylen the kunnyng of thi weies.
15 Kodi Wamphamvuzonseyo ndani kuti timutumikire? Ife tipindula chiyani tikamapemphera kwa Iyeyo?
Who is Almiyti God, that we serue him? and what profitith it to vs, if we preien him?
16 Komatu ulemerero wawo suli mʼmanja mwawo, koma ine ndimakhala patali ndi uphungu wa anthu oyipa.
Netheles for her goodis ben not in her hond, `that is, power, the counsel of wickid men be fer fro me.
17 “Koma nʼkangati kamene nyale ya anthu oyipa imazimitsidwa? Nʼkangati kamene tsoka limawagwera? Nʼkangati kamene Mulungu amawakwiyira ndi kuwalanga?
Hou ofte schal the lanterne of wickid men be quenchid, and flowing schal come on hem, and God schal departe the sorewis of his stronge veniaunce?
18 Nʼkangati kamene iwo amakhala ngati phesi lowuluka ndi mphepo, ngati mungu wowuluzika ndi kamvuluvulu?
Thei schulen be as chaffis bifor the face of the wynd; and as a deed sparcle, whiche the whirlewynd scaterith abrood.
19 Paja amati, ‘Mulungu amalanga ana chifukwa cha machimo abambo awo.’ Koma Mulungu amabwezera chilango munthuyo, kuti adziwe kuti Mulungu amalangadi.
God schal kepe the sorewe of the fadir to hise sones; and whanne he hath yoldun, thanne he schal wite.
20 Mulole kuti adzionere yekha chilango chake, kuti alawe ukali wa Wamphamvuzonse.
Hise iyen schulen se her sleyng; and he schal drynke of the stronge veniaunce of Almyyti God.
21 Nanga kodi amalabadira chiyani zabanja lake limene walisiya mʼmbuyo, pamene chiwerengero cha masiku ake chatha?
For whi what perteyneth it to hym of his hows aftir hym, thouy the noumbre of his monethis be half takun awey?
22 “Kodi alipo wina amene angaphunzitse Mulungu nzeru, poti Iye amaweruza ngakhale anthu apamwamba?
Whether ony man schal teche God kunnyng, which demeth hem that ben hiye?
23 Munthu wina amamwalira ali ndi mphamvu zonse, ali pa mtendere ndi pa mpumulo,
This yuel man dieth strong and hool, riche and blesful, `that is, myrie.
24 thupi lake lili lonenepa, mafupa ake ali odzaza ndi mafuta.
Hise entrails ben ful of fatnesse; and hise boonys ben moistid with merowis.
25 Munthu wina amamwalira ali wowawidwa mtima, wosalawapo chinthu chabwino chilichonse.
Sotheli anothir wickid man dieth in the bittirnesse of his soule, and with outen ony richessis.
26 Olemera ndi osauka omwe amamwalira ndi kuyikidwa mʼmanda ndipo onse amatuluka mphutsi.
And netheles thei schulen slepe togidere in dust, and wormes schulen hile hem.
27 “Ndikudziwa bwino zimene mukuganiza, ziwembu zanu zomwe mukuti mundichitire.
Certis Y knowe youre wickid thouytis, and sentensis ayens me.
28 Inu mukuti, ‘Kodi nyumba ya mkulu uja ili kuti, matenti amene munkakhala anthu oyipa aja ali kuti?’
For ye seien, Where is the hows of the prince? and where ben the tabernaclis of wickid men?
29 Kodi munawafunsapo anthu amene ali pa ulendo? Kodi munaganizirapo zimene iwo amanena?
Axe ye ech of `the weie goeris; and ye schulen knowe, that he vndurstondith these same thingis,
30 Zakuti munthu woyipa amasungidwa chifukwa cha tsiku la tsoka, kuti amapulumutsidwa chifukwa cha tsiku la ukali wa Mulungu?
that an yuel man schal be kept in to the dai of perdicioun, and schal be led to the dai of woodnesse.
31 Kodi ndani amadzudzula munthu wochimwayo? Ndani amamubwezera zoyipa zimene anachita?
Who schal repreue hise weies bifor hym? and who schal yelde to hym tho thingis, whiche he hath doon?
32 Iye amanyamulidwa kupita ku manda ndipo anthu amachezera pa manda ake.
He schal be led to the sepulcris; and he schal wake in the heep of deed men.
33 Dothi la ku chigwa limamukomera; anthu onse amatsatira mtembo wake, ndipo anthu osawerengeka amakhala patsogolo pa chitanda chakecho.
He was swete to the `stoonys, ether filthis, of helle; and drawith ech man aftir hym, and vnnoumbrable men bifor him.
34 “Nanga inu mudzanditonthoza bwanji ine ndi mawu anu opandapakewo palibe chimene chatsala kuti muyankhe koma mabodza basi!”
Hou therfor coumforten ye me in veyn, sithen youre answeris ben schewid to `repugne to treuthe?
