Yobu 8
1 Pamenepo Bilidadi wa ku Suki anayankha kuti,
ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Βαλδαδ ὁ Σαυχίτης λέγει
2 “Kodi udzakhala ukuyankhula zoterezi mpaka liti? Mawu ako ali ngati mphepo yamkuntho.
μέχρι τίνος λαλήσεις ταῦτα πνεῦμα πολυρῆμον τοῦ στόματός σου
3 Kodi Mulungu amapotoza chiweruzo cholungama? Kodi Wamphamvuzonse amalephera kuchita zachilungamo?
μὴ ὁ κύριος ἀδικήσει κρίνων ἢ ὁ τὰ πάντα ποιήσας ταράξει τὸ δίκαιον
4 Pamene ana ako anamuchimwira Mulungu, Iye anawapereka kuti alangidwe chifukwa cha tchimo lawo.
εἰ οἱ υἱοί σου ἥμαρτον ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ἀπέστειλεν ἐν χειρὶ ἀνομίας αὐτῶν
5 Koma utayangʼana kwa Mulungu, ndi kudandaulira Wamphamvuzonse,
σὺ δὲ ὄρθριζε πρὸς κύριον παντοκράτορα δεόμενος
6 ngati uli wangwiro ndi wolungama mtima ngakhale tsopano Iye adzachitapo kanthu mʼmalo mwako ndipo adzakubwezeretsa pa malo ako oyenera.
εἰ καθαρὸς εἶ καὶ ἀληθινός δεήσεως ἐπακούσεταί σου ἀποκαταστήσει δέ σοι δίαιταν δικαιοσύνης
7 Chiyambi chako chidzaoneka ngati chochepa koma chimaliziro chako chidzakhala chopambana.
ἔσται οὖν τὰ μὲν πρῶτά σου ὀλίγα τὰ δὲ ἔσχατά σου ἀμύθητα
8 “Funsa kwa anthu amvulazakale ndipo upeze zimene makolo awo anaziphunzira
ἐπερώτησον γὰρ γενεὰν πρώτην ἐξιχνίασον δὲ κατὰ γένος πατέρων
9 pakuti ife ndife ana adzulodzuloli ndipo sitidziwa chilichonse, ndipo moyo wathu pa dziko lapansi uli ngati chithunzithunzi.
χθιζοὶ γάρ ἐσμεν καὶ οὐκ οἴδαμεν σκιὰ γάρ ἐστιν ἡμῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ὁ βίος
10 Kodi iwo sadzakulangiza ndi kukufotokozera? Kodi sadzakuwuza mawu ochokera pa zimene amazidziwa?
ἦ οὐχ οὗτοί σε διδάξουσιν καὶ ἀναγγελοῦσιν καὶ ἐκ καρδίας ἐξάξουσιν ῥήματα
11 Kodi bango nʼkumera pa nthaka yopanda chinyontho? Nanga mawango nʼkukula bwino popanda madzi?
μὴ θάλλει πάπυρος ἄνευ ὕδατος ἢ ὑψωθήσεται βούτομον ἄνευ πότου
12 Popanda madzi, zimenezi zimafota zikanali zaziwisi ndi zosadula; zimawuma msangamsanga kuposa bango.
ἔτι ὂν ἐπὶ ῥίζης καὶ οὐ μὴ θερισθῇ πρὸ τοῦ πιεῖν πᾶσα βοτάνη οὐχὶ ξηραίνεται
13 Ndimo mmene amachitira anthu onse amene amayiwala Mulungu; ndi mmene chiyembekezo cha munthu wosapembedza Mulungu chimathera.
οὕτως τοίνυν ἔσται τὰ ἔσχατα πάντων τῶν ἐπιλανθανομένων τοῦ κυρίου ἐλπὶς γὰρ ἀσεβοῦς ἀπολεῖται
14 Kulimba mtima kwake kumafowoka; zimene iye amadalira zili ngati ukonde wa kangawude.
ἀοίκητος γὰρ αὐτοῦ ἔσται ὁ οἶκος ἀράχνη δὲ αὐτοῦ ἀποβήσεται ἡ σκηνή
15 Iye amatsamira ukonde wake, koma umaduka; amawugwiritsitsa koma sulimba.
ἐὰν ὑπερείσῃ τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ στῇ ἐπιλαβομένου δὲ αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ ὑπομείνῃ
16 Munthu woyipayo ali ngati chomera chothiriridwa bwino chimene chili pa dzuwa, nthambi zake zimatambalala pa munda wake;
ὑγρὸς γάρ ἐστιν ὑπὸ ἡλίου καὶ ἐκ σαπρίας αὐτοῦ ὁ ῥάδαμνος αὐτοῦ ἐξελεύσεται
17 mizu yake imayanga pa mulu wa miyala ndi kufunafuna malo woti izikike pa miyalapo.
ἐπὶ συναγωγὴν λίθων κοιμᾶται ἐν δὲ μέσῳ χαλίκων ζήσεται
18 Koma pamene yachotsedwa pamalo pakepo, pamalopo pamakana chomeracho ndi kuti, ‘Ine sindinakuonepo.’
ἐὰν καταπίῃ ὁ τόπος ψεύσεται αὐτόν οὐχ ἑόρακας τοιαῦτα
19 Ndithudi chomeracho chimafota, ndipo pa nthakapo pamatuluka zomera zina.
ὅτι καταστροφὴ ἀσεβοῦς τοιαύτη ἐκ δὲ γῆς ἄλλον ἀναβλαστήσει
20 “Ndithudi, Mulungu sakana munthu amene alibe cholakwa kapena kulimbikitsa anthu ochita zoyipa.
ὁ γὰρ κύριος οὐ μὴ ἀποποιήσηται τὸν ἄκακον πᾶν δὲ δῶρον ἀσεβοῦς οὐ δέξεται
21 Iye adzadzaza mʼkamwa mwako ndi phwete ndipo milomo yako idzafuwula ndi chimwemwe.
ἀληθινῶν δὲ στόμα ἐμπλήσει γέλωτος τὰ δὲ χείλη αὐτῶν ἐξομολογήσεως
22 Adani ako adzachita manyazi, ndipo malo okhalamo anthu oyipa sadzaonekanso.”
οἱ δὲ ἐχθροὶ αὐτῶν ἐνδύσονται αἰσχύνην δίαιτα δὲ ἀσεβοῦς οὐκ ἔσται
