Yobu 35
1 Ndipo Elihu anawonjeza kunena kuti,
Pea naʻe fai pe ʻe Elihu ʻa ʻene lea, ʻo ne pehē,
2 “Kodi mukuganiza kuti mukukhoza? Mukunena kuti, ‘Ndine wolungama pamaso pa Mulungu.’
“ʻOku ke mahalo ʻoku totonu eni, ʻa hoʻo lea ʻo pehē, ‘Ko ʻeku māʻoniʻoni ʻoku lahi ki he ʻOtua?’
3 Komanso inu mukufunsa kuti, ‘Kodi phindu langa nʼchiyani, ndipo ndimapeza chiyani ndikapanda kuchimwa?’
He naʻa ke pehē, ‘Ko e hā hono ʻaonga kiate koe? Pea ko e hā ʻae totongi te u maʻu [ʻo kapau ʻe fakamaʻa ]au mei heʻeku angahala?’
4 “Ine ndikufuna ndikuyankheni inu pamodzi ndi abwenzi anu omwe.
Te u tala kiate koe, mo kinautolu ʻoku kaumeʻa mo koe.
5 Yangʼanani kumwamba ndipo muone mitambo imene ili kutali ndi inuyo.
Sio ki he ngaahi langi, ʻo mamata; pea vakai ki he ngaahi ʻao ʻaia ʻoku māʻolunga hake ʻiate koe.
6 Inuyo mukachimwa, Iye zimamukhudza motani? Ngati machimo anu ndi ochuluka, zimenezo zimachita chiyani kwa Iye?
Kapau ʻoku ke fai angahala, ko e hā ʻoku ke fai kiate ia? Pea kapau kuo tupu ʻo lahi ʻa hoʻo talangataʻa, ko e hā ʻoku ke fai kiate ia?
7 Ngati inu ndinu wolungama, mumamupatsa Iyeyo chiyani? Kapena Iye amalandira chiyani chochokera mʼdzanja lanu?
Kapau ʻoku ke māʻoniʻoni, ko e hā ʻoku ke foaki kiate ia? Pe ko e hā ia ʻoku ne maʻu ʻi ho nima?
8 Kuyipa kwanu kumangokhudza anthu ngati inuyo, ndipo chilungamo chanu chimakhudza anthu anzanu.
ʻE kovi nai hoʻo angahala ki he tangata ʻo hangē ko koe; pea ʻe ʻaonga nai hoʻo māʻoniʻoni ki he foha ʻoe tangata.
9 “Anthu akufuwula chifukwa cha kuzunzidwa; akufuna chithandizo kuti achoke pansi pa ulamuliro wa anthu amphamvu.
“Ko e meʻa ʻi he lahi ʻoe ngaahi meʻa fakamālohi ʻoku tangi ai ʻae kau fakamālohia, ʻoku nau tangi kalanga ʻi he nima ʻoe mālohi.
10 Koma palibe amene akunena kuti, ‘Kodi ali kuti Mulungu, Mlengi wanga, amene amatisangalatsa nthawi ya usiku,
Ka ʻoku ʻikai pehē ʻe ha taha, ‘Kofaʻā ia ʻae ʻOtua ko hoku tupuʻanga, ʻaia ʻoku ne foaki ʻae ngaahi hiva ʻi he pō;
11 amene amatiphunzitsa kupambana nyama za dziko lapansi ndipo amatipatsa nzeru kupambana mbalame zowuluka?’
ʻAia ʻoku ako lahi hake kiate kitautolu ʻi he ngaahi manu ʻoe fonua, ʻo ne fakapoto lahi hake ʻakitautolu ʻi he ngaahi manupuna ʻoe ʻatā?’
12 Iye sayankha pamene anthu akufuwulira kwa Iye chifukwa cha kudzikuza kwa anthu oyipa.
ʻOku nau tangi ʻi ai, ka ʻoku ʻikai lea ha tokotaha, ko e meʻa ʻi he laukau ʻae kau tangata kovi.
13 Ndithu, Mulungu samva kupempha kwawo kopanda pake; Wamphamvuzonse sasamalira zimenezi.
Ko e moʻoni ʻe ʻikai fanongo ʻae ʻOtua ki he launoa, pea ʻe ʻikai tokanga ki ai ʻae Māfimafi.
14 Ndipo ndi bodza lalikulu kunena kuti Iye saona zimene zikuchitika. Iye adzaweruza molungama ngati inu mutamudikira
Naʻa ke lea, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai te ke mamata kiate ia, ka ʻoku ʻi hono ʻao ʻae fakamaau, ko ia ke ke falala kiate ia.
15 ndiye tsono popeza kuti ukali wake sukupereka chilango, zoyipa zambiri zimene anthu amachita,
Ka koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai pehē eni, ko ia kuo ne ʻaʻahi ai ʻi hono houhau; ka ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻilo ia ʻi he mamahi lahi:
16 abambo Yobu mumangoyankhula zopandapake, mukungochulukitsa mawu opanda nzeru.”
Ko ia ʻoku mafaʻa taʻeʻaonga ai ʻae ngutu ʻo Siope; ʻoku ne fakalahi ʻae ngaahi lea ʻi he taʻeʻilo.
