1 Ipapo Erifazi muTemani akapindura akati:
Pamenepo Elifazi wa ku Temani anayankha kuti,
2 “Ko, munhu akachenjera angapindura zvisina njere here, kana kuzadza dumbu rake nemhepo inopisa yokumabvazuva?
“Kodi munthu wanzeru angayankhe ndi mawu achabechabe otere, kapena angakhutitse mimba yake ndi mphepo yotentha yochokera kummawa?
3 Ko, angakakavara namashoko asina maturo, kana namashoko asina basa here?
Kodi angathe kutsutsa ndi mawu opanda pake, kapena kuyankhula mawu opanda phindu?
4 Asi unotorwisa umwari uye unodzivisa kunamata Mwari.
Koma iwe ukuchepetsa zoopa Mulungu ndipo ukutchinga zodzikhuthulira kwa Mulungu.
5 Chivi chako chinorunzira muromo wako; uye unotevera rurimi rwavanyengeri.
Tchimo lako ndiye likuyankhulitsa pakamwa pakopo; ndipo watengera mayankhulidwe a atambwali.
6 Muromo wako pachako ndiwo unokupa mhosva, kwete wangu, miromo yako pachako inokupupurira zvakaipa.
Pakamwa pakopo ndiye pakukutsutsa osati pakamwa panga; milomo yakoyo ikukutsutsa.
7 “Ko, ndiwe munhu wakatanga kuzvarwa here? Ko, iwe wakazvarwa makomo asati avapo here?
“Kodi ndiwe munthu woyamba kubadwa? Kodi unalengedwa mapiri asanalengedwe?
8 Unoteererawo here panokurukurwa mazano aMwari? Unoti uchenjeri ndohwako woga kanhi?
Kodi unali mʼgulu la alangizi a Mulungu? Kodi ukudziyesa wanzeru ndiwe wekha?
9 Chiiko chaunoziva chatisingazivi isu? Kunzwisisa kwaunako ndokweiko kwatisinawo isu?
Kodi iwe umadziwa chiyani chimene ife sitichidziwa? Kodi iwe uli ndi chidziwitso chanji chimene ife tilibe?
10 Vane bvudzi rakachena navatana vakwegura vari kudivi redu, varume vatochembera kupinda baba vako.
Anthu a imvi ndi okalamba ali mbali yathu, anthu amvulazakale kupambana abambo ako.
11 Ko, kunyaradza kwaMwari hakuna kukukwanira here, iro shoko rakataurwa kwauri zvine unyoro?
Kodi mawu otonthoza mtima ochokera kwa Mulungu sakukukwanira, mawu oyankhula mofatsawa kwa iwe?
12 Ko, mwoyo wako wakurasireiko, uye meso ako anobwairireiko,
Chifukwa chiyani ukupsa mtima, ndipo chifukwa chiyani ukutuzula maso ako,
13 zvokuti unoitira Mwari hasha ugobudisa mashoko akadai kubva mumuromo mako?
moti ukupsera mtima Mulungu ndi kuyankhula mawu otero pakamwa pako?
14 “Munhu chiiko, zvokuti angava akanaka, kana munhu akazvarwa nomukadzi, kuti angava akarurama?
“Kodi munthu nʼchiyani kuti nʼkukhala woyera mtima kapena wobadwa mwa amayi nʼchiyani kuti nʼkukhala wolungama mtima?
15 Kana Mwari akasavimba navatsvene vake, kunyange dai matenga akasava akachena pamberi pake,
Ngati Mulungu sakhulupirira ngakhale angelo ake, ngakhale zakumwamba sizoyera pamaso pake,
16 ko, kuzoti munhu, ane uori uye akaora, anonwa zvakaipa semvura!
nanga kuli bwanji munthu amene ndi wonyansa ndi wa njira zokhotakhota, amene kuchita zoyipa kuli ngati kumwa madzi.
17 “Nditeerere ndigokutsanangurira; rega ndikuudze zvandakaona,
“Mvetsera kwa ine ndipo ndidzakufotokozera; ndilole ndikuwuze zimene ndaziona,
18 zvakataurwa navanhu vakachenjera, vasingavanzi chinhu chavakagamuchira kubva kumadzibaba avo,
zimene anandiphunzitsa anthu anzeru, sanandibisire kalikonse kamene anamva kuchokera kwa makolo awo.
19 ivo voga vakapiwa nyika pasina mutorwa akapfuura napakati pavo:
(Ndi kwa iwowa kumene dziko lino linaperekedwa pamene panalibe mlendo wokhala pakati pawo).
20 Murume akaipa anotambudzika nokurwadziwa pamazuva ake ose, makore ose outsinye akachengeterwa iye.
Munthu woyipa amavutika ndi masautso masiku onse a moyo wake, munthu wankhanza adzavutika zaka zake zonse.
21 Maungira anotyisa anozadza nzeve dzake; pazvinenge zvaita sezvakanaka, vapambi vanomurwisa.
Amamva mawu owopsa mʼmakutu mwake, pamene zonse zikuoneka ngati zili bwino, anthu achifwamba amamuthira nkhondo.
22 Anorasikirwa netariro yokupunyuka parima; munondo ndiwo waakatarirwa.
Iye sakhulupirira kuti angathe kupulumuka ku mdima wa imfa; iyeyo ndi woyenera kuphedwa.
23 Anofamba-famba achiita sechokudya zvamagora; anoziva kuti zuva rerima raswedera.
Amangoyendayenda pali ponse kunka nafuna chakudya; amadziwa kuti tsiku la mdima lili pafupi.
24 Kutambudzika nokurwadziwa zvinomuzadza nokutya; zvinomukunda, samambo agadzirira kurwisa,
Masautso ndi nthumanzi zimamuchititsa mantha kwambiri; zimamugonjetsa iye monga imachitira mfumu yokonzekera kukathira nkhondo,
25 nokuti anokungira Mwari chibhakera chake uye anozvikudza pamusoro paWamasimba Ose,
chifukwa iye amatambasula dzanja lake kuyambana ndi Mulungu ndipo amadzitama yekha polimbana ndi Wamphamvuzonse.
26 achimhanyira kwaari asingatyi ane nhoo hobvu, yakasimba.
Amapita mwa mwano kukalimbana naye atanyamula chishango chochindikala ndi cholimba.
27 “Kunyange chiso chake chakafukidzwa namafuta uye chiuno chake chakafuta nenyama,
“Ngakhale nkhope yake ndi yonenepa ndipo mʼchiwuno mwake muli mnofu wambiri,
28 iye achagara mumaguta akaparadzwa nomudzimba dzisingagarwi nomunhu, dzimba dzokoromoka kuva marara.
munthuyo adzakhala mʼmizinda yowonongeka ndi mʼnyumba zosayenera kukhalamo anthu, nyumba zimene zikugwa ndi kuwonongeka.
29 Haachazovazve mupfumi uye pfuma yake haingagari, kana nepfuma yake haingazadzi nyika.
Iye sadzalemeranso ndipo chuma chake sichidzakhalitsa, ngakhale minda yake sidzabala zipatso pa dziko lapansi.
30 Haangapunyuki rima; murazvo uchasvavisa mabukira ake, uye kufema kwomuromo waMwari kuchamurasira kure.
Iyeyo sadzapulumuka mu mdimamo; lawi lamoto lidzawumitsa nthambi zake, ndipo mpweya wochokera mʼkamwa mwa Mulungu udzamusesa.
31 Ngaarege kuzvinyengera nokuvimba nezvisina maturo, nokuti haana chaachawana pazviri.
Asadzinyenge yekha podalira zinthu zachabechabe, pakuti pa mapeto pake sadzaphulapo kanthu.
32 Acharipirwa zvakazara nguva yake isati yasvika, uye matavi ake haangawandi.
Iye adzalandira malipiro ake nthawi yake isanakwane, ndipo nthambi zake sizidzaphukanso.
33 Achafanana nomuzambiringa wabvisirwa mazambiringa asati aibva, kufanana nomuti womuorivhi wodonhedza maruva awo.
Iye adzakhala ngati mtengo wamphesa wopululidwa zipatso zake zisanapse, adzakhala ngati mtengo wa olivi umene wayoyola maluwa ake.
34 Nokuti ungano yavasingadi Mwari ichashaya zvibereko, uye moto uchaparadza matende avaya vanofarira fufuro.
Pakuti anthu osapembedza Mulungu adzakhala osabala ndipo moto udzapsereza nyumba za onse okonda ziphuphu.
35 Vanobata mimba yokutambudzika vagozvara zvakaipa; dumbu ravo rinogadzira kunyengera.”
Iwo amalingalira zaupandu ndipo amachita zoyipa; mtima wawo umakonzekera zachinyengo.”
