Jobho 18
1 Ipapo Bhiridhadhi muShuhi akapindura akati:
Pamenepo Bilidadi wa ku Suki anayankha kuti,
2 “Muchapedza kutaura uku riiniko? Chimbonyatsofungai, ipapo tigotaurirana hedu.
“Kodi iwe Yobu utsiriza liti zoyankhula zakozi? Khala munthu wozindikira zinthu ndipo ukatero ife tidzayankhula.
3 Tinobatirweiko semombe uye tichionekwa samapenzi pamberi penyu?
Chifukwa chiyani ukutiyesa ngati ngʼombe ndi kuoneka ngati opusa mʼmaso mwako?
4 Iyewe unozvibvamburanya mukutsamwa kwako, nyika ingasiyiwa nokuda kwako here? Kana matombo angafanira kubviswa panzvimbo yawo here?
Iwe amene ukudzipweteka wekha ndi mkwiyo wako, kodi dziko lapansi lisanduke bwinja chifukwa cha iweyo? Kodi kapena thanthwe lisunthidwe kuchoka pa malo ake?
5 “Mwenje weakaipa unodzimwa; murazvo womoto wake unopera kupisa.
“Nyale ya munthu woyipa yazimitsidwa; malawi a moto wake sakuwalanso.
6 Chiedza chiri mutende rake chinova rima; mwenje uri parutivi pake unodzima.
Kuwala kwa mʼnyumba mwake kwasanduka mdima; nyale ya pambali pake yazima.
7 Simba renhambwe dzake rinorukutika; mano ake pachake anomuwisira pasi.
Mayendedwe ake amgugu azilala; fundo zake zomwe zamugwetsa.
8 Tsoka dzake dzinomuwisira mumumbure, uye anodzungaira ari mumaburi awo.
Mapazi ake amulowetsa mu ukonde ndipo akungoyendayenda mu ukondewo.
9 Musungo unomubata chitsitsinho; rugombe runomubatisisa.
Msampha wamkola mwendo; khwekhwe lamugwiritsitsa.
10 Chishwe chakavanzwa muvhu nokuda kwake; musungo wakaradzikwa munzira yake.
Amutchera msampha pansi mobisika; atchera diwa pa njira yake.
11 Kutyisa kunomuvhundutsa kumativi ose, uye kunomuteverera panhambwe dzake dzose.
Zoopsa zikumuchititsa mantha kumbali zonse, zikutsatira mayendedwe ake onse.
12 Pfumvu inomudokwairira; njodzi yakamugaririra paanowa.
Mphamvu zake zatha chifukwa cha njala, tsoka likumudikira.
13 Inodya zvikamu zveganda rake; dangwe rorufu rinopedza mitezo yake.
Wagwidwa nthenda yoopsa thupi lonse; miyendo yake, manja ake, zonse zawola.
14 Anodzurwa kubva patende raanovimba naro agoendeswa kuna mambo anotyisa kwazvo.
Wachotsedwa mʼnyumba imene ankadalira, ndipo amukokera ku imfa, mfumu ya zoopsa zonse.
15 Moto unogara mutende rake; safuri inopisa inoparadzirwa pamusoro pougaro hwake.
Mʼnyumba mwake zonse zachotsedwamo; awazamo sulufule kuti aphe tizirombo ta matenda.
16 Moto unogara mutende rake; uye matavi ake anosvava kumusoro.
Mizu yake ikuwuma pansi ndipo nthambi zake zikufota
17 Kurangarirwa kwake kunopera panyika; haana zita munyika.
Sadzakumbukiridwanso pa dziko lapansi; sadzakhalanso ndi chinthu chomutchukitsa mʼdziko.
18 Anobviswa pachiedza achiendeswa murima, uye anodzingwa panyika.
Amuchotsa pa malo owala ndi kumuponya ku mdima, ndipo amupirikitsa pa dziko lonse.
19 Haana mwana kana chizvarwa chinotevera pakati pavanhu vokwake, hakuna akasara kwaaimbogara.
Iye alibe ana kapena zidzukulu pakati pa anthu ake, kulibe wotsala kumene iye ankakhala.
20 Varume vokumavirira vakakatyamara namagumo ake; varume vokumabvazuva vakabatwa nokutya kukuru.
Anthu akumadzulo adabwa kwambiri ndi tsoka lake; anthu akummawa agwidwa ndi mantha aakulu.
21 Zvirokwazvo, ndizvo zvakaita ugaro hwomurume akaipa; iyoyi ndiyo nzvimbo yomunhu asingazivi Mwari.”
Ndithudi, izi ndiye zimagwera munthu woyipa; amenewa ndiye mathero a munthu amene sadziwa Mulungu.”
