Yobu 40
1 Yehova anati kwa Yobu:
Moreover the LORD answered Job,
2 “Kodi iwe ufuna kukangana ndi Wamphamvuzonse? Iwe amene unatsutsana ndi Mulungu umuyankhe Iyeyo!”
“Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.”
3 Pamenepo Yobu anayankha Yehova:
Then Job answered the LORD,
4 “Ine sindili kanthu konse, kodi ndingathe kukuyankhani chiyani? Ndagwira pakamwa panga.
“Behold, I am of small account. What will I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.
5 Ndinayankhula kamodzi, koma pano ndilibe yankho, ndinayankha kawiri, koma sindiwonjezeranso mawu ena.”
I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.”
6 Ndipo Yehova anayankha Yobu mʼkamvuluvulu kuti,
Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind:
7 “Tsopano vala dzilimbe ngati mwamuna; ndikufunsa mafunso ndipo iwe undiyankhe.
“Now brace yourself like a man. I will question you, and you will answer me.
8 “Kodi iwe unganyoze chiweruzo changa cholungama? Kodi ungandidzudzule kuti iweyo ukhale wolungama?
Will you even annul my judgement? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?
9 Kodi uli ndi dzanja monga la Mulungu, ndipo mawu ako angagunde ngati mphenzi monga a Mulungu?
Or do you have an arm like God? Can you thunder with a voice like him?
10 Ngati zili choncho udzikometsere ndi ulemerero ndi kukongola, ndipo udziveke ulemu ndi ulemerero waufumu.
“Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity. Array yourself with honour and majesty.
11 Tsanula ukali wako wosefukirawo, uyangʼane aliyense wodzikuza ndipo umuchepetse,
Pour out the fury of your anger. Look at everyone who is proud, and bring him low.
12 Uyangʼane aliyense wodzikweza ndipo umutsitse, uwapondereze oyipa onse pamalo pomwe alilipo.
Look at everyone who is proud, and humble him. Crush the wicked in their place.
13 Onsewo uwakwirire pamodzi mfumbi; ukulunge nkhope zawo mʼmanda.
Hide them in the dust together. Bind their faces in the hidden place.
14 Ukatero Ine ndidzakuvomereza kuti dzanja lako lamanja lakupulumutsadi.
Then I will also admit to you that your own right hand can save you.
15 “Taganiza za mvuwu, imene ndinayipanga monga momwe ndinapangira iwe, ndipo imadya udzu ngati ngʼombe.
“See now behemoth, which I made as well as you. He eats grass as an ox.
16 Mphamvu zake ndi zazikulu kwambiri, thupi lake ndi lanyonga kwambiri!
Look now, his strength is in his thighs. His force is in the muscles of his belly.
17 Mchira wake umayima tolotolo ngati mtengo wamkungudza; mitsempha ya ntchafu zake ndi yogwirana bwino.
He moves his tail like a cedar. The sinews of his thighs are knit together.
18 Mafupa ake ali ngati mapayipi amkuwa, nthiti zake zili ngati mipiringidzo yachitsulo.
His bones are like tubes of bronze. His limbs are like bars of iron.
19 Mvuwuyo ndi yayikulu mwa zolengedwa za Mulungu, komatu mlengi wake amatha kuyiopseza ndi lupanga lake.
He is the chief of the ways of God. He who made him gives him his sword.
20 Imapeza chakudya chake ku mtunda ndipo nyama zakuthengo zonse zimasewera pambali pake.
Surely the mountains produce food for him, where all the animals of the field play.
21 Imagona pa tsinde pa zitsamba za mipeta, imabisala mʼbango ndiponso pa thawale.
He lies under the lotus trees, in the covert of the reed, and the marsh.
22 Imaphimbika ndi mthunzi wazitsamba za mipeta; imazunguliridwa ndi misondozi ya mu mtsinje.
The lotuses cover him with their shade. The willows of the brook surround him.
23 Madzi a mu mtsinje akakokoma, sichita mantha, iyo sitekeseka, ngakhale madzi a mu Yorodani afike mʼkhosi mwake.
Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn’t tremble. He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.
24 Kodi alipo amene angathe kukola mvuwu ndi mbedza kapena kuyikola mu msampha?
Shall any take him when he is on the watch, or pierce through his nose with a snare?
