Ayub 18
1 Eka Bildad ja-Shua nodwoko niya:
Pamenepo Bilidadi wa ku Suki anayankha kuti,
2 “Ibiro weyo weche miwachogi karangʼo? Bed ngʼama odimbore eka wawuo.
“Kodi iwe Yobu utsiriza liti zoyankhula zakozi? Khala munthu wozindikira zinthu ndipo ukatero ife tidzayankhula.
3 Angʼo momiyo ikawowa ka dhok kendo wachalo joma ofuwo e nyimi?
Chifukwa chiyani ukutiyesa ngati ngʼombe ndi kuoneka ngati opusa mʼmaso mwako?
4 Mirima ma in-gono biro hinyi mana in iwuon, iparo ni piny biro rumo nikech in? Koso nyaka gol lwendni kuonde magintie?
Iwe amene ukudzipweteka wekha ndi mkwiyo wako, kodi dziko lapansi lisanduke bwinja chifukwa cha iweyo? Kodi kapena thanthwe lisunthidwe kuchoka pa malo ake?
5 “Tach joma timbegi richo osenegi; kendo mae oseweyo liel.
“Nyale ya munthu woyipa yazimitsidwa; malawi a moto wake sakuwalanso.
6 Ler manie hembe oselokore mudho; kendo taya manie bathe osetho.
Kuwala kwa mʼnyumba mwake kwasanduka mdima; nyale ya pambali pake yazima.
7 Chon nowuotho motegno, to tinde oywayo wuoth, riekone owuon ema omiyo opodho.
Mayendedwe ake amgugu azilala; fundo zake zomwe zamugwetsa.
8 Tiendene osetere ei gogo kendo koro orundore e iye.
Mapazi ake amulowetsa mu ukonde ndipo akungoyendayenda mu ukondewo.
9 Obadho osemako ombongʼne; kendo oride matek ma ok onyal bwodho.
Msampha wamkola mwendo; khwekhwe lamugwiritsitsa.
10 Ochike gi otegu mopandi ei lowo kendo oket ne obadho e yo moluwo.
Amutchera msampha pansi mobisika; atchera diwa pa njira yake.
11 Masiche onure koni gi koni kendo okete ka gi ka.
Zoopsa zikumuchititsa mantha kumbali zonse, zikutsatira mayendedwe ake onse.
12 Midhiero oikore mar chame kendo chandruok okichore mar muonye sa ma opodho.
Mphamvu zake zatha chifukwa cha njala, tsoka likumudikira.
13 Tuo marach omako dende duto, kendo miyo bedene kod tiendene kethore.
Wagwidwa nthenda yoopsa thupi lonse; miyendo yake, manja ake, zonse zawola.
14 Oseywae oko mogole e hembe kama ne odakie gi kwe, motere nyaka e nyim ruodh chandruok.
Wachotsedwa mʼnyumba imene ankadalira, ndipo amukokera ku imfa, mfumu ya zoopsa zonse.
15 Gimoro amora mane entierego koro onge e hembe; nikech mach mager osewangʼo kar dakne.
Mʼnyumba mwake zonse zachotsedwamo; awazamo sulufule kuti aphe tizirombo ta matenda.
16 Jarichono chalo gi yath ma tiendene otwo ei lowo, kendo bedene oner.
Mizu yake ikuwuma pansi ndipo nthambi zake zikufota
17 Humbe rumo e piny; kendo onge ngʼama nochak opare.
Sadzakumbukiridwanso pa dziko lapansi; sadzakhalanso ndi chinthu chomutchukitsa mʼdziko.
18 Oriembe ogole e ler mi otere e mudho, kendo humbe orumo e piny.
Amuchotsa pa malo owala ndi kumuponya ku mdima, ndipo amupirikitsa pa dziko lonse.
19 Oonge gi nyithinde kata nyikwaye e dier ogandane, kata ngʼama nodongʼ kama yande odakie.
Iye alibe ana kapena zidzukulu pakati pa anthu ake, kulibe wotsala kumene iye ankakhala.
20 Ka joma nodak yo podho chiengʼ nowinjo gima notimoreno luoro nomakogi, to joma odak yo wuok chiengʼ, kihondko nogoyo.
Anthu akumadzulo adabwa kwambiri ndi tsoka lake; anthu akummawa agwidwa ndi mantha aakulu.
21 Chutho mago e gik matimore ne joma timbegi richo mokia Nyasaye.”
Ndithudi, izi ndiye zimagwera munthu woyipa; amenewa ndiye mathero a munthu amene sadziwa Mulungu.”
