1 Tsono Yobu anayankha kuti,
Wasephendula uJobe wathi:
2 “Achikhala mavuto anga anayezedwa, ndipo zipsinjo zanga zonse zikanayikidwa pa sikelo!
“Nxa ubuhlungu bami bungalinganiswa lokuhlupheka kwami konke kufakwe esikalini!
3 Ndithu, zikanalemera kupambana mchenga wa ku nyanja; nʼchifukwa chake mawu anga akhala okhadzula.
Ngempela bungasinda ukwedlula itshebetshebe yolwandle, akungamangalisi ukuthi amazwi ami abhede kanje.
4 Mivi ya Wamphamvuzonse yandibaya, thupi langa likumva ululu wa miviyo; zoopsa za Mulungu zandizinga.
Imitshoko kaSomandla iphakathi kwami, umoya wami unatha itshefu yayo; inhlupho zokuhlukuluza zikaNkulunkulu ziqondiswe kimi.
5 Kodi bulu wakuthengo amalira akakhala ndi msipu, nanga ngʼombe imalira ikakhala ndi chakudya?
Kambe ubabhemi weganga uyakhala yini utshani bukhona, loba inkabi ikhonye yona ukudla ilakho?
6 Kodi chakudya chosakoma nʼkuchidya chopanda mchere, nanga choyera cha dzira chimakoma?
Ukudla okuduma kuyadleka na kungelatswayi, kumbe okumhlophe kweqanda kuyanambitheka yini?
7 Zakudya zimenezi sindifuna nʼkuzilawa komwe; zakudya zimenezi zimabwerera kukhosi.
Ngiyala ukukuthinta; ukudla okunjalo kubuyisa inhliziyo yami.
8 “Aa, ndikanalandira chimene ndikuchipempha, chikhala Mulungu anandipatsa chimene ndikuchiyembekezera,
Oh, aluba ngingazuza isicelo sami, uNkulunkulu angiphe lokho engikufisayo,
9 achikhala chinamukomera Mulungu kuti anditswanye, kulola dzanja lake kuti lindimenye ndi kundiwonongeratu!
ukuthi uNkulunkulu avume ukungichoboza, ekele nje isandla sakhe singiqede!
10 Pamenepo ine ndikanakhalabe ndi chitonthozo ichi, ndikanakondwa mu ululu wanga wosalekezawu podziwa kuti sindinakane mawu a Woyerayo.
Lalapho ngizabe ngilokhu ngilale induduzo intokozo yami ebuhlungwini obungadediyo, ukuthi bengingawaphikanga amazwi akhe oNgcwele.
11 “Kodi mphamvu zanga nʼzotani kuti ndizikhalabe ndi chiyembekezo? Nanga zoyembekezera zanga nʼzotani kuti ndipirirebe?
Ngilamandla bani okuthi ngibe lokhu ngithemba? Ngisamelelwe yini ukuba ngibe ngilokhu ngibekezela?
12 Kodi ine ndili ndi mphamvu? Nanga thupi langa ndi lolimba ngati chitsulo?
Ngilamandla elitshe yini? Inyama yami ilithusi na?
13 Kodi ndili ndi mphamvu zodzithandizira ndekha, nanga pakuti thandizo lachotsedwa kwa ine?
Ngilawo yini amandla okuzisiza, manje njengoba sengemukwe impumelelo?
14 “Munthu amene ali kakasi ayenera kukhala ndi abwenzi odzipereka, ngakhale kuti iyeyo wasiya kuopa Wamphamvuzonse.
Iloba ngubani ogodla umusa kumkhula wakhe udela ukwesaba uSomandla.
15 Koma abale anga ndi wosadalirika ngati mitsinje yowuma msanga, ngati mitsinje imene imathamanga.
Kodwa abafowethu kabathenjwa njengemifula egeleza icitsha, njengemifula echithayo
16 Ali ngati mitsinje ya madzi akuda nthawi ya dzinja, imene madzi ake amakhala ambiri chifukwa chakuchuluka kwa mvula,
ileliqhwa eselincibilika, njalo igcwele ngongqwaqwane osencibilikile,
17 koma madziwo amasiya kuyenda nthawi yachilimwe, ndipo nthawi yotentha madziwo amawumiratu mʼmitsinjemo.
kodwa ikhawule ukugeleza ngesikhathi sokoma, kuthi sekutshisa amanzi anyamalale ezindleleni zawo.
18 Anthu oyenda pa ngamira amapatukirako kufuna madzi; iwo amangoyendayenda nʼkufera mʼchipululu.
Indwendwe zamakamela ziyaphambuka ezindleleni zazo; zintule enkangala zifele khona.
19 Anthu oyenda pa ngamira a ku Tema amafunafuna madzi, anthu amalonda apaulendo a ku Seba amafunafuna mwa chiyembekezo.
Indwendwe zamakamela aseThema zidinga amanzi, abathengisi baseShebha balinde bethembile.
20 Amataya mtima chifukwa ankayembekezera kupeza madzi; koma akafika kumeneko, amangokhumudwako.
Bayadana ngoba bebekade bethembile; bayafika khonale bafike badane.
21 Tsono inunso mukuonetsa kuti ndinu osathandiza, mukuona chinthu choopsa kwambiri ndipo mukuchita mantha.
Lani selitshengise ukuthi kalilancedo; libona into eyesabekayo beselisesaba.
22 Kodi ine ndinanenapo kuti, ‘Ndiperekereni kenakake, ndilipirireni dipo kuchokera pa chuma chanu,
Sengake ngatsho yini ukuthi, ‘Ake lingihlawulele lokhu, ngihlengani ngempahla yenu,
23 ndilanditseni mʼdzanja la mdani, ndiwomboleni mʼdzanja la munthu wankhanza?’
ngikhululani esandleni sesitha, ngihlengani ekufithizelweni ngabalesihluku’?
24 “Phunzitseni, ndipo ine ndidzakhala chete; ndionetseni pomwe ndalakwitsa.
Ngifundisani, ngizathula; ake lingitshengise lapho engiphambanise khona.
25 Ndithu, mawu owona ndi opweteka! Koma mawu anu otsutsa akufuna kuonetsa chiyani?
Abuhlungu kanganani amazwi eqiniso! Kodwa ukuphikisa kwenu kutshengisani?
26 Kodi inu mukufuna kundidzudzula pa zimene ndikunena, ndipo mukufuna kuyesa mawu a munthu wosweka mtima ngati mphepo chabe?
Lizama ukuqondisa engikutshoyo, amazwi omuntu oselahlekelwe lithemba liwathethe njengomoya nje na?
27 Inu mungathe kuchita maere kuti mugulitse ana amasiye ndi kumugulitsa bwenzi lanu.
Lina lingenza inkatho ngezintandane, lithengise lomngane wenu.
28 “Koma tsopano ndichitireni chifundo pamene mukundiyangʼana. Kodi ine ndingayankhule zabodza pamaso panu?
Kodwa okwamanje wobani lomusa lingizwele. Ngingaqamba amanga phambi kwenu na?
29 Fewani mtima, musachite zosalungama; ganiziraninso popeza chilungamo changa chikanalipobe.
Dedani, lingenzi okungaqondanga; khumbulani kutsha, phela ubuqotho bami busengozini.
30 Kodi pali choyipa chilichonse pa milomo yanga? Kodi pakamwa panga sipangathe kuzindikira kanthu koyipa?
Kukhona okubi na okusezindebeni zami? Kambe umlomo wami kawukwehlukanisi okubi na?”
