Jobho 21
1 Ipapo Jobho akapindura akati:
Pamenepo Yobu anayankha kuti,
2 “Teereresa mashoko angu; uku ngakuve kunyaradza kwaunondipa.
“Mvetserani bwino mawu anga; ichi chikhale chitonthozo changa chochokera kwa inu.
3 Ndiitire mwoyo murefu ndichitaura hangu, uye kana ndapedza kutaura, urambe uchiseka hako.
Ndiloleni ndiyankhule ndipo ndikatha kuyankhula munditonzetonze.
4 “Ko, kunyunyuta kwangu kwakanangana nomunhu here? Ndingatadza seiko kuora mwoyo?
“Kodi ine ndikudandaulira munthu? Tsono ndilekerenji kupsa mtima?
5 Nditarire ushamiswe; ufumbire muromo wako noruoko.
Ndipenyeni ndipo mudabwe; mugwire dzanja pakamwa.
6 Ndinotya, pandinofunga izvi; kudedera kunobata muviri wangu.
Ndikamaganiza zimenezi ndimachita mantha kwambiri; thupi langa limanjenjemera.
7 Nemhaka yeiko vakaipa vachirarama, vachikwegura uye vachiwedzerwa simba?
Chifukwa chiyani anthu oyipa amakhalabe ndi moyo, amakalamba ndi kusanduka amphamvu?
8 Vanoona vana vavo vachikura ivo vachiri vapenyu, zvizvarwa zvavo pamberi pavo.
Amaona ana awo akukhazikika pamodzi nawo, zidzukulu zawo zikukula bwino iwo akuona.
9 Misha yavo igere zvakanaka uye haina chainotya; shamhu yaMwari haisi pamusoro pavo.
Mabanja awo amakhala pa mtendere ndipo sakhala ndi mantha; mkwapulo wa Mulungu suwakhudza nʼkomwe.
10 Hando dzavo hadzikonewi kubereka, mhou dzavo dzinobereka mhuru dzisingasvodzi.
Ngʼombe zawo zazimuna sizilephera kubereketsa; ngʼombe zawo zazikazi sizipoloza.
11 Vanobudisa vana vavo seboka ramakwai; vapwere vavo vanopembera vachitamba.
Amatulutsa ana awo ngati gulu la nkhosa; makanda awo amavinavina pabwalo.
12 Vanoimba vachiridzirwa tambureni nembira; vanofarira kurira kwenyere.
Amayimba nyimbo pogwiritsa ntchito matambolini ndi azeze; amakondwa pakumva kulira kwa chitoliro.
Zaka zawo zimatha ali mu ulemerero ndipo amatsikira ku manda mwamtendere. (Sheol h7585)
14 Kunyange zvakadaro vanoti kuna Mwari, ‘Tisiyei takadaro! Hatina hanya nokuziva nzira dzenyu.
Koma anthuwo amawuza Mulungu kuti, ‘Tichokereni!’ Ife tilibe chikhumbokhumbo chofuna kudziwa njira zanu.
15 Wamasimba Ose ndianiko, kuti timushumire? Tinowaneiko kana tikamunamata?’
Kodi Wamphamvuzonseyo ndani kuti timutumikire? Ife tipindula chiyani tikamapemphera kwa Iyeyo?
16 Asi kubudirira kwavo hakusi mumaoko avo, naizvozvo ndinomira kure nerangano yevakaipa.
Komatu ulemerero wawo suli mʼmanja mwawo, koma ine ndimakhala patali ndi uphungu wa anthu oyipa.
17 “Kunyange zvakadaro, kanganiko kanodzimwa mwenje wevakaipa? Kanganiko vachiwirwa nenjodzi, magumo anotarwa naMwari mukutsamwa kwake?
“Koma nʼkangati kamene nyale ya anthu oyipa imazimitsidwa? Nʼkangati kamene tsoka limawagwera? Nʼkangati kamene Mulungu amawakwiyira ndi kuwalanga?
18 Vanofanana namakoto anopeperetswa nemhepo runganiko, sehundi inokukurwa nedutu?
Nʼkangati kamene iwo amakhala ngati phesi lowuluka ndi mphepo, ngati mungu wowuluzika ndi kamvuluvulu?
19 Zvinonzi, ‘Mwari anochengetera vana vomunhu kutongwa.’ Ngaamutsive iye amene, kuitira kuti agozviziva!
Paja amati, ‘Mulungu amalanga ana chifukwa cha machimo abambo awo.’ Koma Mulungu amabwezera chilango munthuyo, kuti adziwe kuti Mulungu amalangadi.
20 Meso ake pachake ngaaone kuparadzwa kwake; iye ngaanwe kutsamwa kwoWamasimba Ose.
Mulole kuti adzionere yekha chilango chake, kuti alawe ukali wa Wamphamvuzonse.
21 Nokuti ane hanya yeiko nemhuri yaanosiya shure, mwedzi yaakagoverwa zvoyopera?
Nanga kodi amalabadira chiyani zabanja lake limene walisiya mʼmbuyo, pamene chiwerengero cha masiku ake chatha?
22 “Ko, pane munhu angagona kudzidzisa ruzivo kuna Mwari here, iye achitonga kunyange vari pamusoro-soro?
“Kodi alipo wina amene angaphunzitse Mulungu nzeru, poti Iye amaweruza ngakhale anthu apamwamba?
23 Mumwe munhu anofa achine simba rake rizere, akachengetedzeka uye akagadzikana,
Munthu wina amamwalira ali ndi mphamvu zonse, ali pa mtendere ndi pa mpumulo,
24 muviri wake wakagwinya, mapfupa ake azere nomwongo.
thupi lake lili lonenepa, mafupa ake ali odzaza ndi mafuta.
25 Mumwe munhu anofa ane shungu dzomwoyo, asina kumbonakidzwa nezvipi zvazvo zvakanaka.
Munthu wina amamwalira ali wowawidwa mtima, wosalawapo chinthu chabwino chilichonse.
26 Vanovata muguruva pamwe chete, uye honye dzinovafukidza vose.
Olemera ndi osauka omwe amamwalira ndi kuyikidwa mʼmanda ndipo onse amatuluka mphutsi.
27 “Ndinoziva chose zvamunofunga, iwo mano amungandikanganisa nawo.
“Ndikudziwa bwino zimene mukuganiza, ziwembu zanu zomwe mukuti mundichitire.
28 Imi munoti, ‘Imba yomunhu mukuru iripiko zvino, iwo matende aigarwa navanhu vakaipa?’
Inu mukuti, ‘Kodi nyumba ya mkulu uja ili kuti, matenti amene munkakhala anthu oyipa aja ali kuti?’
29 Hauna kumbobvunza vafambi vaya here? Hauna kuva nehanya nenhoroondo dzavo here,
Kodi munawafunsapo anthu amene ali pa ulendo? Kodi munaganizirapo zimene iwo amanena?
30 dzokuti munhu akaipa anodarikwa pazuva renjodzi, kuti anorwirwa pazuva rokutsamwa?
Zakuti munthu woyipa amasungidwa chifukwa cha tsiku la tsoka, kuti amapulumutsidwa chifukwa cha tsiku la ukali wa Mulungu?
31 Ndianiko anotsoropodza mafambiro ake pachena? Ndianiko anomuripira pane zvaakaita?
Kodi ndani amadzudzula munthu wochimwayo? Ndani amamubwezera zoyipa zimene anachita?
32 Iye anotakurwa achiendeswa kuguva, uye rinda rake rinorindwa.
Iye amanyamulidwa kupita ku manda ndipo anthu amachezera pa manda ake.
33 Ivhu romunhika rinotapira kwaari; vanhu vose vanomutevera, uye anotungamirirwa navazhinji vasingaverengeki.
Dothi la ku chigwa limamukomera; anthu onse amatsatira mtembo wake, ndipo anthu osawerengeka amakhala patsogolo pa chitanda chakecho.
34 “Saka mungandinyaradza sei nezvisina maturo? Hapana chasara pakupindura kwenyu asi nhema dzoga!”
“Nanga inu mudzanditonthoza bwanji ine ndi mawu anu opandapakewo palibe chimene chatsala kuti muyankhe koma mabodza basi!”
