UJobe 36
1 UElihu waseqhubeka wathi:
Ndipo Elihu anapitirira kuyankhula nati:
2 Ngibekezelela kancinyane, ngizakubonisa ukuthi kuseselamazwi ngoNkulunkulu.
“Mundilole pangʼono pokha ndipo ndikuonetsani kuti zilipo zambiri zoti ziyankhulidwe mʼmalo mwa Mulungu.
3 Ngizathatha ulwazi lwami luvela khatshana, nginike ukulunga kuMenzi wami.
Nzeru zanga ndimazitenga kutali; ndidzaonetsa kulungama kwa Mlengi wanga.
4 Ngoba isibili amazwi ami kawayisiwo amanga; opheleleyo elwazini ulawe.
Ndithudi mawu anga si abodza; wanzeru zangwiro ali ndi inu.
5 Khangela, uNkulunkulu ulamandla, njalo keyisi; mkhulu emandleni okuqedisisa.
“Mulungu ndi wamphamvu, koma sanyoza anthu; Iye ndi wamphamvu, ndipo ndi wokhazikika pa cholinga chake.
6 Kayekeli omubi aphile, kodwa unika abayanga okulungileyo.
Salola oyipa kuti akhalebe ndi moyo koma amapereka ufulu kwa anthu osautsidwa.
7 Kasusi amehlo akhe kolungileyo, kodwa balamakhosi esihlalweni sobukhosi; yebo, uyawahlalisa phakade, abesephakama.
Iye saleka kuyangʼanira anthu olungama; amawayika kuti alamulire pamodzi ndi mafumu ndipo amawalemekeza mpaka muyaya.
8 Njalo uba bebotshiwe ngezibopho, bethunjwe ngezintambo zenhlupheko,
Koma ngati anthu amangidwa ndi unyolo, ndipo akondwa ndi zingwe zamasautso,
9 abesebatshela isenzo sabo, leziphambeko zabo, ukuthi zazilamandla.
Iye amawafotokozera zomwe anachita, kuti iwo anachimwa modzikuza.
10 Uyavula indlebe yabo ekulayweni, alaye baphenduke ebubini.
Mulungu amawatsekula makutu kuti amve malangizo ake ndipo amawalamula kuti alape zoyipa zawo.
11 Uba belalela, bamkhonze, bazachitha insuku zabo kokuhle, leminyaka yabo ezintokozweni.
Ngati iwo amumvera ndi kumutumikira, adzatsiriza masiku a moyo wawo mwamtendere, adzatsiriza zaka zawo mosangalala.
12 Kodwa uba bengalaleli, bazadlula ngomkhonto, baphele bengelalwazi.
Koma ngati samvera, adzaphedwa ndi lupanga ndipo adzafa osadziwa kanthu.
13 Labangamesabiyo uNkulunkulu ngenhliziyo babuthelela intukuthelo; kabakhali esebabophile.
“Anthu osapembedza amasunga mkwiyo mu mtima mwawo; akawalanga, safuwulira kwa Iye kupempha thandizo.
14 Umphefumulo wabo uzafela ebutsheni, lempilo yabo phakathi kwezinkotshana.
Amafa akanali achinyamata, pakati pa amuna achiwerewere a kumalo azipembedzo.
15 Uzakhulula ohluphekayo ekuhluphekeni kwakhe, avule indlebe yabo ecindezelweni.
Koma ovutika, Iye amawapulumutsa pa mavuto awo; Mulungu amawayankhula mʼmasautso awowo.
16 Yebo, lawe wakuhuga ukuthi uphume emlonyeni wocindezelo uye endaweni ebanzi, okungelacindezelo kuyo, lokuphezu kwetafula lakho kuzagcwala amanono.
“Iye akukukopani inu kuti muchoke mʼmasautso, kuti mupite ku malo aakulu kumene kulibe chokutchingani, kumalo a mpumulo kumene kuli chakudya chabwino kwambiri.
17 Kodwa ugcwalise isigwebo somubi; isigwebo lokulunga kukubambile.
Koma tsopano inu mwapezeka wopalamula chifukwa cha kuyipa kwanu; chiweruzo ndi chilungamo chakugwerani.
18 Qaphela ulaka lungakuhugeli ekuklolodeni, lobukhulu benhlawulo bungakuphambuli.
Muchenjere kuti wina asakukopeni ndi chuma; musalole kuti chiphuphu chachikulu chikusocheretseni.
19 Ubengalinganisa inotho yakho, ukuthi ubungebe ecindezelweni, lemizamo yonke elamandla?
Kodi chuma chanu kapena mphamvu zanu zonse zingakusungeni kotero kuti simungakhale pa masautso?
20 Ungakhefuzeleli lobobusuku bokususwa kwabantu endaweni yabo.
Musalakalake kuti usiku ubwere, pakuti ndiyo nthawi imene anthu adzawonongeka.
21 Qaphela, ungaphendukeli ebubini, ngoba ukhethe lokho kulokuhlupheka.
Muchenjere kuti musatembenukire ku uchimo, chifukwa uchimowo ndiwo unabweretsa kuzunzika kwanu.
22 Khangela, uNkulunkulu uziphakamisa ngamandla akhe; ngubani ongumfundisi njengaye?
“Taonani, Mulungu ndi wamkulu ndiponso ndi wamphamvu. Kodi ndi mphunzitsi uti amene angafanane naye?
23 Ngubani ommisele indlela yakhe? Kumbe ngubani othe: Wenze ububi?
Kodi ndani amene anamuwuzapo Mulungu zoti achite, kapena kumuwuza kuti, ‘Inu mwachita chinthu cholakwa?’
24 Khumbula ukuthi ukhulise umsebenzi wakhe, abahlabela ngawo abantu.
Kumbukirani kutamanda ntchito zake zimene anthu amaziyamika mʼnyimbo.
25 Bonke abantu bayawubona; umuntu uyawukhangela ekhatshana.
Anthu onse amaziona ntchitozo; anthuwo amaziona ali kutali.
26 Khangela, uNkulunkulu uphakeme, njalo kasimazi, lenani leminyaka yakhe kayilakuhlolwa.
Ndithudi, Mulungu ndi wamkulu, sitimudziwa nʼpangʼono pomwe! Chiwerengero cha zaka zake nʼchosadziwika.
27 Ngoba wenyusa amathonsi amanzi, ahlambulule izulu njengenkungu yawo;
“Mulungu ndiye amakweza timadontho tamadzi kuthambo, timene timasungunuka nʼkukhala mvula;
28 amayezi alithululela phansi, lithonte kakhulu phezu komuntu.
mitambo imagwetsa mvulayo ndipo mvulayo imavumbwa pa anthu mokwanira.
29 Yebo, kukhona yini ongaqedisisa ukwendlaleka kwamayezi, umsindo wedumba lakhe?
Kodi ndani amene angadziwe momwe mitambo imayendera, momwe Iye amabangulira kuchokera kumalo ake?
30 Khangela, wendlala ukukhanya kwakhe phezu kwawo, agubuzele impande zolwandle.
Taonani momwe amawalitsira zingʼaningʼani pa malo ake onse, zimafika ngakhale pansi pa nyanja.
31 Ngoba ngawo uyehlulela abantu, anike ukudla ngobunengi.
Umu ndi mmene Iye amalamulira mitundu ya anthu ndi kuwapatsa chakudya chochuluka.
32 Ngezandla usibekela ukukhanya, abesekulaya ngalelo elingena phakathi.
Amadzaza manja ake ndi zingʼaningʼani, ndipo amazilamulira kuti zigwe pamalo pamene Iye akufuna.
33 Umdumo wakhe ubika ngakho, lenkomo ngenkungu eyenyukayo.
Mabingu ake amalengeza za kubwera kwa mvula yamkuntho; ngʼombe nazo zimalengeza za kubwera kwake.
