Job 6
1 But Job answered and said,
Tsono Yobu anayankha kuti,
2 Oh that my grief were thoroughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!
“Achikhala mavuto anga anayezedwa, ndipo zipsinjo zanga zonse zikanayikidwa pa sikelo!
3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.
Ndithu, zikanalemera kupambana mchenga wa ku nyanja; nʼchifukwa chake mawu anga akhala okhadzula.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty [are] within me, the poison of which drinketh up my spirit: 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 Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?
Kodi bulu wakuthengo amalira akakhala ndi msipu, nanga ngʼombe imalira ikakhala ndi chakudya?
6 Can that which is unsavory 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 The things [that] my soul refused to touch [are] as my sorrowful food.
Zakudya zimenezi sindifuna nʼkuzilawa komwe; zakudya zimenezi zimabwerera kukhosi.
8 Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant [me] the thing that I long for!
“Aa, ndikanalandira chimene ndikuchipempha, chikhala Mulungu anandipatsa chimene ndikuchiyembekezera,
9 Even that it would please God to destroy 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 Then should I yet have comfort; yes, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed 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 hope? and what [is] my end, that I should prolong my life?
“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 brass?
Kodi ine ndili ndi mphamvu? Nanga thupi langa ndi lolimba ngati chitsulo?
13 [Is] not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
Kodi ndili ndi mphamvu zodzithandizira ndekha, nanga pakuti thandizo lachotsedwa kwa ine?
14 To him that is afflicted pity [should be shown] from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
“Munthu amene ali kakasi ayenera kukhala ndi abwenzi odzipereka, ngakhale kuti iyeyo wasiya kuopa Wamphamvuzonse.
15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, [and] as the stream of brooks they pass away;
Koma abale anga ndi wosadalirika ngati mitsinje yowuma msanga, ngati mitsinje imene imathamanga.
16 Which are blackish by reason of the ice, [and] in which the snow is hid:
Ali ngati mitsinje ya madzi akuda nthawi ya dzinja, imene madzi ake amakhala ambiri chifukwa chakuchuluka kwa mvula,
17 In the time when they become warm, 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 paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
Anthu oyenda pa ngamira amapatukirako kufuna madzi; iwo amangoyendayenda nʼkufera mʼchipululu.
19 The troops 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 confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.
Amataya mtima chifukwa ankayembekezera kupeza madzi; koma akafika kumeneko, amangokhumudwako.
21 For now ye are nothing: ye see [my] casting down, and are afraid.
Tsono inunso mukuonetsa kuti ndinu osathandiza, mukuona chinthu choopsa kwambiri ndipo mukuchita mantha.
22 Did I say, Bring to me? or Give a reward for me of your substance?
Kodi ine ndinanenapo kuti, ‘Ndiperekereni kenakake, ndilipirireni dipo kuchokera pa chuma chanu,
23 Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
ndilanditseni mʼdzanja la mdani, ndiwomboleni mʼdzanja la munthu wankhanza?’
24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand in what I have erred.
“Phunzitseni, ndipo ine ndidzakhala chete; ndionetseni pomwe ndalakwitsa.
25 How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?
Ndithu, mawu owona ndi opweteka! Koma mawu anu otsutsa akufuna kuonetsa chiyani?
26 Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, [which are] as wind?
Kodi inu mukufuna kundidzudzula pa zimene ndikunena, ndipo mukufuna kuyesa mawu a munthu wosweka mtima ngati mphepo chabe?
27 Yes, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig [a pit] for your friend.
Inu mungathe kuchita maere kuti mugulitse ana amasiye ndi kumugulitsa bwenzi lanu.
28 Now therefore be content, look upon me; for [it is] evident to you if I lie.
“Koma tsopano ndichitireni chifundo pamene mukundiyangʼana. Kodi ine ndingayankhule zabodza pamaso panu?
29 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yes, return again, my righteousness [is] in it.
Fewani mtima, musachite zosalungama; ganiziraninso popeza chilungamo changa chikanalipobe.
30 Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?
Kodi pali choyipa chilichonse pa milomo yanga? Kodi pakamwa panga sipangathe kuzindikira kanthu koyipa?
