Yobu 26
1 Pamenepo Yobu anayankha kuti,
Wasephendula uJobe wathi:
2 “Wamuthandizadi munthu wopanda mphamvu! Walimbitsadi dzanja la munthu wofowoka!
Umsize njani ongelamandla, wasindisa ingalo engelamandla?
3 Wapereka malangizo kwa munthu amene alibe nzeru! Ndipotu waonetsadi nzeru zochuluka!
Umeluleke njani ongelakuhlakanipha, watshumayela ngobunengi ulwazi oluqotho?
4 Kodi wakuthandiza ndani kuti uyankhule mawu awa? Ndipo ndi mzimu wa yani umene unayankhula pakamwa pako?
Utshele bani amazwi? Njalo ngumoya kabani ophume kuwe?
5 “Mizimu ya anthu akufa ikunjenjemera pansi pa madzi, ndi zonse zokhala mʼmadzimo.
Abafileyo bayathuthumela ngaphansi kwamanzi, labahlali bawo.
6 Dziko la anthu akufa ndi lapululu pamaso pa Mulungu; chiwonongeko ndi chosaphimbidwa. (Sheol h7585)
Isihogo sinqunu phambi kwakhe, lencithakalo kayilasisibekelo. (Sheol h7585)
7 Mulungu anayala thambo la kumpoto pa phompho; Iye anakoloweka dziko lapansi mʼmalo mwake pamene panali popanda nʼkanthu komwe.
Welulela inyakatho phezu kwendawo engelalutho, aphanyeke umhlaba phezu kweze.
8 Amasunga madzi ambiri mʼmitambo yake, koma mitamboyo siphulika chifukwa cha kulemera kwa madziwo.
Uyabophela amanzi emayezini akhe, kodwa amayezi kawadabuki ngaphansi kwawo.
9 Iye amaphimba mwezi wowala, amawuphimba ndi mitambo yake.
Uyasibekela ubuso besihlalo sakhe sobukhosi, endlale iyezi phezu kwaso.
10 Mulungu anawalembera madzi malire wonga uta, kukhala malire pakati pa kuwunika ndi mdima.
Udwebe umngcele oyisigombolozi phezu kobuso bamanzi, kuze kube sekucineni kokukhanya lomnyama.
11 Mizati yochirikiza mitambo yakumwamba imanjenjemera, ndi kudabwa pa kudzudzula kwake.
Insika zamazulu ziyathuthumela, zethuswa yikukhuza kwakhe.
12 Ndi mphamvu zake anatontholetsa nyanja; ndi nzeru zake anakantha chirombo cha mʼmadzi chija chotchedwa Rahabe.
Ngamandla akhe uthulisa ulwandle, langenhlakanipho yakhe uphahlaza ukuziqhenya.
13 Ndi mpweya wake anayeretsa zamumlengalenga, dzanja lake linapha chinjoka chothawa chija.
Ngomoya wakhe ucecise amazulu; isandla sakhe sagwaza inyoka ebalekayo.
14 Zimenezi ndi pangʼono chabe mwa ntchito yake; tingomva pangʼono za Iye ngati kunongʼona! Kodi ndani angathe kudziwa kukula kwa mphamvu zake?”
Khangela, lokhu kungamaphethelo ezindlela zakhe; kodwa kuzwakala into encinyane kangakanani ngaye! Kanti umdumo wamandla akhe ngubani ongawuqedisisa?
