Jobho 26
1 Ipapo Jobho akapindura akati:
Pamenepo Yobu anayankha kuti,
2 “Ndiweka wakabatsira vasina simba! Wakaponesa sei ruoko rwakarukutika!
“Wamuthandizadi munthu wopanda mphamvu! Walimbitsadi dzanja la munthu wofowoka!
3 Ndiweka wakapa zano kune asina uchenjeri! Ndiweka wakaratidza njere dzakakura kwazvo!
Wapereka malangizo kwa munthu amene alibe nzeru! Ndipotu waonetsadi nzeru zochuluka!
4 Ndianiko akakubatsira kutaura mashoko aya? Uye mweya waaniko wakataura kubva pamuromo wako?
Kodi wakuthandiza ndani kuti uyankhule mawu awa? Ndipo ndi mzimu wa yani umene unayankhula pakamwa pako?
5 “Vakafa vari pakushungurudzika kukuru, ivo vari pasi pemvura zhinji navose vanogara mairi.
“Mizimu ya anthu akufa ikunjenjemera pansi pa madzi, ndi zonse zokhala mʼmadzimo.
Dziko la anthu akufa ndi lapululu pamaso pa Mulungu; chiwonongeko ndi chosaphimbidwa. (Sheol h7585)
7 Anotambanudza matenga nechokumusoro panzvimbo isina chinhu; anorembedza nyika pasina chinhu.
Mulungu anayala thambo la kumpoto pa phompho; Iye anakoloweka dziko lapansi mʼmalo mwake pamene panali popanda nʼkanthu komwe.
8 Anoputira mvura zhinji mumakore ake; asi makore acho haabvaruki nokuda kwokuremerwa.
Amasunga madzi ambiri mʼmitambo yake, koma mitamboyo siphulika chifukwa cha kulemera kwa madziwo.
9 Anofukidza chiso chomwedzi uzere, achiwarira makore ake pamusoro pawo.
Iye amaphimba mwezi wowala, amawuphimba ndi mitambo yake.
10 Anotara muganhu pamberi pemvura zhinji, kuti ugova muganhu pakati pechiedza nerima.
Mulungu anawalembera madzi malire wonga uta, kukhala malire pakati pa kuwunika ndi mdima.
11 Mbiru dzokudenga dzinodengenyeka, dzichivhundutswa nokutuka kwake.
Mizati yochirikiza mitambo yakumwamba imanjenjemera, ndi kudabwa pa kudzudzula kwake.
12 Akaunganidza mvura dzegungwa nesimba rake; akagura-gura Rahabhi nenjere dzake.
Ndi mphamvu zake anatontholetsa nyanja; ndi nzeru zake anakantha chirombo cha mʼmadzi chija chotchedwa Rahabe.
13 Matenga akashongedzwa nokufema kwake; ruoko rwake rwakabaya nyoka inobhururuka.
Ndi mpweya wake anayeretsa zamumlengalenga, dzanja lake linapha chinjoka chothawa chija.
14 Uye izvi ndiwo macheto oga ebasa rake; haiwa tinongonzwa kuzevezera kwake! Zvino ndianiko anganzwisisa kutinhira kwesimba rake?”
Zimenezi ndi pangʼono chabe mwa ntchito yake; tingomva pangʼono za Iye ngati kunongʼona! Kodi ndani angathe kudziwa kukula kwa mphamvu zake?”
