< Jobho 20 >
1 Ipapo Zofari muNaamati akapindura akati:
Pamenepo Zofari wa ku Naama anayankha kuti
2 “Ndangariro dzangu dzokutambudzika dzinondikurumidzisa kuti ndipindure nokuti ndakanganisika kwazvo.
“Kuvutika kwa mʼmaganizo kwanga kwandifulumiza kuti ndiyankhe chifukwa ndasautsidwa kwambiri.
3 Ndiri kunzwa kutsiura kunondizvidza, uye kunzwisisa kwangu kunondikurudzira kuti ndipindure.
Ndikumva kudzudzula kondinyoza, ndipo kumvetsetsa kwanga kwa zinthu kwandifulumiza kuti ndiyankhe.
4 “Zvirokwazvo unoziva zvazvakanga zvakaita kubva kare, kubvira pakaiswa munhu panyika,
“Ndithudi iwe ukudziwa momwe zinthu zakhala zikuchitikira kuyambira kale, kuchoka nthawi imene munthu analengedwa pa dziko lapansi,
5 kuti kufara kwavakaipa kupfupi, mufaro wavasina Mwari ndowenguva duku.
kuti chisangalalo cha woyipa nʼchosachedwa kutha, chimwemwe cha wosapembedza Mulungu nʼchakanthawi kochepa.
6 Kunyange kuzvikudza kwake kuchisvika kudenga, uye musoro wake uchindobata makore,
Ngakhale atamayenda mapewa ake ali mmwamba ndipo mutu wake uli nengʼaa,
7 achaparara nokusingaperi, setsvina yake pachake; vaya vaichimbomuona vachati, ‘Aripiko?’
iye adzatheratu monga momwe imatayikira ndowe yake yomwe; iwo amene ankamuona adzati, ‘Kodi uje uja ali kuti?’
8 Anobhururuka sokurota, haachawanikwizve, adzingwa sechiratidzo chousiku.
Adzazimirira ngati maloto ndipo sadzapezekanso, adzachotsedwa ngati masomphenya a usiku.
9 Ziso rakamuona harichazomuonazve; nzvimbo yake haichazomuonazve.
Diso limene linamuona silidzamuonanso; sadzapezekanso pamalo pake.
10 Vana vake vanofanira kutsvaka nyasha kuvarombo; maoko ake chaiwo anofanira kudzorera pfuma yake.
Ana ake adzabwezera zonse zimene iyeyo analanda anthu osauka;
11 Simba roujaya rakazadza mapfupa ake richaumburuka naye muguruva.
Mphamvu zaunyamata zimene zili mʼthupi mwake zidzagona naye limodzi mʼfumbi.
12 “Kunyange chakaipa chichitapira mumukanwa, uye achichiviga pasi porurimi rwake,
“Ngakhale zoyipa zili zozuna mʼkamwa mwake ndipo amazibisa kunsi kwa lilime lake,
13 kunyange asingagoni kuchiregedza achichichengeta mumukanwa make,
ngakhale salola kuzilavula, ndipo amazisunga mʼkamwa mwake,
14 asi chokudya chake chichashanduka chikavava mudumbu make; chichava uturu hwenyoka mukati make.
koma chakudya chake chidzawawasa mʼmimba mwake; chidzasanduka ngati ndulu ya njoka mʼkati mwa iyeyo.
15 Achapfira pasi upfumi hwaakamedza; Mwari achaita kuti dumbu rake rizvirutse.
Adzachisanza chuma chimene anachimeza; Mulungu adzachitulutsa mʼmimba mwa munthuyo.
16 Achasveta uturu hwenyoka; mazino emvumbi achamuuraya.
Iye adzayamwa ndulu ya njoka ndipo ululu wa mphiri udzamupha.
17 Haangafadzwi nehova, idzo nzizi dzinoyerera uchi noruomba.
Sadzasangalala ndi timitsinje, mitsinje yoyenda uchi ndi mafuta.
18 Zvaakatamburira anofanira kuzvidzosazve zvisina kudyiwa; haangafadzwi nezvaakawana pakutengesa kwake.
Ayenera kubweza zimene anazigwirira ntchito osazidya; sadzasangalala ndi phindu la malonda ake.
19 Nokuti akamanikidza varombo akavasiya vava vachena; akatora dzimba dzavasina chavanacho.
Pakuti iye anapondereza anthu osauka ndipo anawasiya wopanda thandizo; iyeyo analanda nyumba zimene sanamange.
20 “Zvirokwazvo haangamiri kubva pahavi yake; haangazviponesi nepfuma yake.
“Chifukwa choti umbombo wake sutha, sadzatha kusunga chilichonse chimene amakondwera nacho.
21 Hapana chaakasiyirwa kuti adye; upfumi hwake hahungagari nokusingaperi.
Palibe chatsala kuti iye adye; chuma chake sichidzachedwa kutha.
22 Pakati pezvakawanda zvake, kuremerwa nepfungwa kuchamukunda; kuzara kwenjodzi kuchauya pamusoro pake.
Ngakhale ndi munthu wachuma, mavuto adzamugwera; mavuto aakulu adzamugwera.
23 Paanenge agutsa dumbu rake, Mwari achatuma kutsamwa kwake kunopisa pamusoro pake, uye achanayisa kurova kwake pamusoro pake.
Akadya nʼkukhuta, Mulungu adzamugwetsera ukali wamoto ngati mvula yosalekeza.
24 Kunyange akatiza chombo chesimbi, museve unopinza wendarira unomubaya.
Ngakhale athawe mkondo wachitsulo, muvi wamkuwa wosongoka udzamulasa.
25 Anoudzura kubva kumusana kwake, muromo wawo unovaima uchibva pachiropa chake. Kutya kuzhinji kuchauya pamusoro pake;
Muviwo adzawutulutsira ku msana, songa yake yowala kuchoka mʼmphafa mwake. Adzagwidwa ndi mantha aakulu;
26 rima guru richavandira pfuma yake. Moto usina anopfutidzira uchamupisa uye uchaparadza zvichasara mutende rake.
mdima wandiweyani ukudikira chuma chake. Moto wopanda wowukoleza udzamupsereza ndi kuwononga zonse zotsala mʼnyumba yake.
27 Matenga achaisa pachena mhaka yake; nyika ichamumukira.
Zamumlengalenga zidzawulula kulakwa kwake; dziko lapansi lidzamuwukira.
28 Mafashamu achakukura imba yake, mvura zhinji ichaerera pazuva rehasha dzaMwari.
Chigumula cha madzi chidzawononga nyumba yake, katundu wake adzatengedwa pa tsiku la ukali wa Mulungu.
29 Aya ndiwo magumo anogoverwa vakaipa naMwari, iyo nhaka yavakatemerwa naMwari.”
Izi ndi zimene Mulungu amasungira anthu oyipa, mphotho imene Mulungu amayikira iwowo.”
