Job 6
1 Then Job answered,
Tsono Yobu anayankha kuti,
2 "Oh that my anguish were weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances.
“Achikhala mavuto anga anayezedwa, ndipo zipsinjo zanga zonse zikanayikidwa pa sikelo!
3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas, therefore have my words been rash.
Ndithu, zikanalemera kupambana mchenga wa ku nyanja; nʼchifukwa chake mawu anga akhala okhadzula.
4 For the arrows of Shaddai are within me. My spirit drinks up their poison. The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.
Mivi ya Wamphamvuzonse yandibaya, thupi langa likumva ululu wa miviyo; zoopsa za Mulungu zandizinga.
5 Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass? Or does the ox low over his fodder?
Kodi bulu wakuthengo amalira akakhala ndi msipu, nanga ngʼombe imalira ikakhala ndi chakudya?
6 Can that which has no flavor be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
Kodi chakudya chosakoma nʼkuchidya chopanda mchere, nanga choyera cha dzira chimakoma?
7 My soul refuses to touch them. They are as loathsome food to me.
Zakudya zimenezi sindifuna nʼkuzilawa komwe; zakudya zimenezi zimabwerera kukhosi.
8 "Oh that I might have my request, that God would grant the thing that I long for,
“Aa, ndikanalandira chimene ndikuchipempha, chikhala Mulungu anandipatsa chimene ndikuchiyembekezera,
9 even that it would please God to crush me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off.
achikhala chinamukomera Mulungu kuti anditswanye, kulola dzanja lake kuti lindimenye ndi kundiwonongeratu!
10 Be it still my consolation, yes, let me exult in pain that doesn't spare, that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
Pamenepo ine ndikanakhalabe ndi chitonthozo ichi, ndikanakondwa mu ululu wanga wosalekezawu podziwa kuti sindinakane mawu a Woyerayo.
11 What is my strength, that I should wait? What is my end, that I should be patient?
“Kodi mphamvu zanga nʼzotani kuti ndizikhalabe ndi chiyembekezo? Nanga zoyembekezera zanga nʼzotani kuti ndipirirebe?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh of bronze?
Kodi ine ndili ndi mphamvu? Nanga thupi langa ndi lolimba ngati chitsulo?
13 Isn't it that I have no help in me, That wisdom is driven quite from me?
Kodi ndili ndi mphamvu zodzithandizira ndekha, nanga pakuti thandizo lachotsedwa kwa ine?
14 "To the despairing, kindness should be shown from his friend; even to him who forsakes the fear of Shaddai.
“Munthu amene ali kakasi ayenera kukhala ndi abwenzi odzipereka, ngakhale kuti iyeyo wasiya kuopa Wamphamvuzonse.
15 My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook, as the channel of brooks that pass away;
Koma abale anga ndi wosadalirika ngati mitsinje yowuma msanga, ngati mitsinje imene imathamanga.
16 Which are black by reason of the ice, in which the snow hides itself.
Ali ngati mitsinje ya madzi akuda nthawi ya dzinja, imene madzi ake amakhala ambiri chifukwa chakuchuluka kwa mvula,
17 In the dry season, they vanish. When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
koma madziwo amasiya kuyenda nthawi yachilimwe, ndipo nthawi yotentha madziwo amawumiratu mʼmitsinjemo.
18 The caravans that travel beside them turn aside. They go up into the waste, and perish.
Anthu oyenda pa ngamira amapatukirako kufuna madzi; iwo amangoyendayenda nʼkufera mʼchipululu.
19 The caravans of Tema looked. The companies of Sheba waited for them.
Anthu oyenda pa ngamira a ku Tema amafunafuna madzi, anthu amalonda apaulendo a ku Seba amafunafuna mwa chiyembekezo.
20 They were distressed because they were confident. They came there, and were confounded.
Amataya mtima chifukwa ankayembekezera kupeza madzi; koma akafika kumeneko, amangokhumudwako.
21 For now you are nothing. You see a terror, and are afraid.
Tsono inunso mukuonetsa kuti ndinu osathandiza, mukuona chinthu choopsa kwambiri ndipo mukuchita mantha.
22 Did I say, 'Give to me?' or, 'Offer a present for me from your substance?'
Kodi ine ndinanenapo kuti, ‘Ndiperekereni kenakake, ndilipirireni dipo kuchokera pa chuma chanu,
23 or, 'Deliver me from the adversary's hand?' or, 'Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors?'
ndilanditseni mʼdzanja la mdani, ndiwomboleni mʼdzanja la munthu wankhanza?’
24 "Teach me, and I will hold my peace. Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
“Phunzitseni, ndipo ine ndidzakhala chete; ndionetseni pomwe ndalakwitsa.
25 How forcible are words of uprightness. But your reproof, what does it reprove?
Ndithu, mawu owona ndi opweteka! Koma mawu anu otsutsa akufuna kuonetsa chiyani?
26 Do you intend to reprove words, seeing that the speeches of one who is desperate are as wind?
Kodi inu mukufuna kundidzudzula pa zimene ndikunena, ndipo mukufuna kuyesa mawu a munthu wosweka mtima ngati mphepo chabe?
27 Yes, you would even cast lots for the fatherless, and make merchandise of your friend.
Inu mungathe kuchita maere kuti mugulitse ana amasiye ndi kumugulitsa bwenzi lanu.
28 Now therefore be pleased to look at me, for surely I shall not lie to your face.
“Koma tsopano ndichitireni chifundo pamene mukundiyangʼana. Kodi ine ndingayankhule zabodza pamaso panu?
29 Please return. Let there be no injustice. Yes, return again. My cause is righteous.
Fewani mtima, musachite zosalungama; ganiziraninso popeza chilungamo changa chikanalipobe.
30 Is there injustice on my tongue? Can't my taste discern mischievous things?
Kodi pali choyipa chilichonse pa milomo yanga? Kodi pakamwa panga sipangathe kuzindikira kanthu koyipa?
