Yobu 36
1 Ndipo Elihu anapitirira kuyankhula nati:
UElihu waseqhubeka wathi:
2 “Mundilole pangʼono pokha ndipo ndikuonetsani kuti zilipo zambiri zoti ziyankhulidwe mʼmalo mwa Mulungu.
Ngibekezelela kancinyane, ngizakubonisa ukuthi kuseselamazwi ngoNkulunkulu.
3 Nzeru zanga ndimazitenga kutali; ndidzaonetsa kulungama kwa Mlengi wanga.
Ngizathatha ulwazi lwami luvela khatshana, nginike ukulunga kuMenzi wami.
4 Ndithudi mawu anga si abodza; wanzeru zangwiro ali ndi inu.
Ngoba isibili amazwi ami kawayisiwo amanga; opheleleyo elwazini ulawe.
5 “Mulungu ndi wamphamvu, koma sanyoza anthu; Iye ndi wamphamvu, ndipo ndi wokhazikika pa cholinga chake.
Khangela, uNkulunkulu ulamandla, njalo keyisi; mkhulu emandleni okuqedisisa.
6 Salola oyipa kuti akhalebe ndi moyo koma amapereka ufulu kwa anthu osautsidwa.
Kayekeli omubi aphile, kodwa unika abayanga okulungileyo.
7 Iye saleka kuyangʼanira anthu olungama; amawayika kuti alamulire pamodzi ndi mafumu ndipo amawalemekeza mpaka muyaya.
Kasusi amehlo akhe kolungileyo, kodwa balamakhosi esihlalweni sobukhosi; yebo, uyawahlalisa phakade, abesephakama.
8 Koma ngati anthu amangidwa ndi unyolo, ndipo akondwa ndi zingwe zamasautso,
Njalo uba bebotshiwe ngezibopho, bethunjwe ngezintambo zenhlupheko,
9 Iye amawafotokozera zomwe anachita, kuti iwo anachimwa modzikuza.
abesebatshela isenzo sabo, leziphambeko zabo, ukuthi zazilamandla.
10 Mulungu amawatsekula makutu kuti amve malangizo ake ndipo amawalamula kuti alape zoyipa zawo.
Uyavula indlebe yabo ekulayweni, alaye baphenduke ebubini.
11 Ngati iwo amumvera ndi kumutumikira, adzatsiriza masiku a moyo wawo mwamtendere, adzatsiriza zaka zawo mosangalala.
Uba belalela, bamkhonze, bazachitha insuku zabo kokuhle, leminyaka yabo ezintokozweni.
12 Koma ngati samvera, adzaphedwa ndi lupanga ndipo adzafa osadziwa kanthu.
Kodwa uba bengalaleli, bazadlula ngomkhonto, baphele bengelalwazi.
13 “Anthu osapembedza amasunga mkwiyo mu mtima mwawo; akawalanga, safuwulira kwa Iye kupempha thandizo.
Labangamesabiyo uNkulunkulu ngenhliziyo babuthelela intukuthelo; kabakhali esebabophile.
14 Amafa akanali achinyamata, pakati pa amuna achiwerewere a kumalo azipembedzo.
Umphefumulo wabo uzafela ebutsheni, lempilo yabo phakathi kwezinkotshana.
15 Koma ovutika, Iye amawapulumutsa pa mavuto awo; Mulungu amawayankhula mʼmasautso awowo.
Uzakhulula ohluphekayo ekuhluphekeni kwakhe, avule indlebe yabo ecindezelweni.
16 “Iye akukukopani inu kuti muchoke mʼmasautso, kuti mupite ku malo aakulu kumene kulibe chokutchingani, kumalo a mpumulo kumene kuli chakudya chabwino kwambiri.
Yebo, lawe wakuhuga ukuthi uphume emlonyeni wocindezelo uye endaweni ebanzi, okungelacindezelo kuyo, lokuphezu kwetafula lakho kuzagcwala amanono.
17 Koma tsopano inu mwapezeka wopalamula chifukwa cha kuyipa kwanu; chiweruzo ndi chilungamo chakugwerani.
Kodwa ugcwalise isigwebo somubi; isigwebo lokulunga kukubambile.
18 Muchenjere kuti wina asakukopeni ndi chuma; musalole kuti chiphuphu chachikulu chikusocheretseni.
Qaphela ulaka lungakuhugeli ekuklolodeni, lobukhulu benhlawulo bungakuphambuli.
19 Kodi chuma chanu kapena mphamvu zanu zonse zingakusungeni kotero kuti simungakhale pa masautso?
Ubengalinganisa inotho yakho, ukuthi ubungebe ecindezelweni, lemizamo yonke elamandla?
20 Musalakalake kuti usiku ubwere, pakuti ndiyo nthawi imene anthu adzawonongeka.
Ungakhefuzeleli lobobusuku bokususwa kwabantu endaweni yabo.
21 Muchenjere kuti musatembenukire ku uchimo, chifukwa uchimowo ndiwo unabweretsa kuzunzika kwanu.
Qaphela, ungaphendukeli ebubini, ngoba ukhethe lokho kulokuhlupheka.
22 “Taonani, Mulungu ndi wamkulu ndiponso ndi wamphamvu. Kodi ndi mphunzitsi uti amene angafanane naye?
Khangela, uNkulunkulu uziphakamisa ngamandla akhe; ngubani ongumfundisi njengaye?
23 Kodi ndani amene anamuwuzapo Mulungu zoti achite, kapena kumuwuza kuti, ‘Inu mwachita chinthu cholakwa?’
Ngubani ommisele indlela yakhe? Kumbe ngubani othe: Wenze ububi?
24 Kumbukirani kutamanda ntchito zake zimene anthu amaziyamika mʼnyimbo.
Khumbula ukuthi ukhulise umsebenzi wakhe, abahlabela ngawo abantu.
25 Anthu onse amaziona ntchitozo; anthuwo amaziona ali kutali.
Bonke abantu bayawubona; umuntu uyawukhangela ekhatshana.
26 Ndithudi, Mulungu ndi wamkulu, sitimudziwa nʼpangʼono pomwe! Chiwerengero cha zaka zake nʼchosadziwika.
Khangela, uNkulunkulu uphakeme, njalo kasimazi, lenani leminyaka yakhe kayilakuhlolwa.
27 “Mulungu ndiye amakweza timadontho tamadzi kuthambo, timene timasungunuka nʼkukhala mvula;
Ngoba wenyusa amathonsi amanzi, ahlambulule izulu njengenkungu yawo;
28 mitambo imagwetsa mvulayo ndipo mvulayo imavumbwa pa anthu mokwanira.
amayezi alithululela phansi, lithonte kakhulu phezu komuntu.
29 Kodi ndani amene angadziwe momwe mitambo imayendera, momwe Iye amabangulira kuchokera kumalo ake?
Yebo, kukhona yini ongaqedisisa ukwendlaleka kwamayezi, umsindo wedumba lakhe?
30 Taonani momwe amawalitsira zingʼaningʼani pa malo ake onse, zimafika ngakhale pansi pa nyanja.
Khangela, wendlala ukukhanya kwakhe phezu kwawo, agubuzele impande zolwandle.
31 Umu ndi mmene Iye amalamulira mitundu ya anthu ndi kuwapatsa chakudya chochuluka.
Ngoba ngawo uyehlulela abantu, anike ukudla ngobunengi.
32 Amadzaza manja ake ndi zingʼaningʼani, ndipo amazilamulira kuti zigwe pamalo pamene Iye akufuna.
Ngezandla usibekela ukukhanya, abesekulaya ngalelo elingena phakathi.
33 Mabingu ake amalengeza za kubwera kwa mvula yamkuntho; ngʼombe nazo zimalengeza za kubwera kwake.
Umdumo wakhe ubika ngakho, lenkomo ngenkungu eyenyukayo.
