Yobu 39:1-30
39 “Kasi ukuyimanya nyengo iyo vinkhoma* vikubabira?+
Kasi uli kuwonelerapo umo mbaŵala zikubabira ŵana ŵake?+
2 Kasi ukupenda myezi iyo zikufiska?
Kasi ukumanya nyengo iyo zikubabira?
3 Zikujikama pasi para zikubaba ŵana ŵake,Ndipo vyakuŵinya vyawo pakubaba vikumara.
4 Ŵana ŵawo ŵakuŵa ŵankhongono, ndipo ŵakukulira mu thondo,Ŵakuluta kwambura kuweleraso ku ŵanyinawo.
5 Ni njani uyo wakafwatura mbunda yamuthengere,+Ndipo ni njani uyo wakasutura vingwe vya mbunda yamuthengere?
6 Napanga chidika cha mu chipalamba kuŵa chikaya chake,Ndipo napanga charu cha mchere kuŵa malo ghake ghakukhalamo.
7 Yikugoska kapomezi ka mu msumba,Yikupulika yayi kuchemerezga kwa uyo wakukhwema viŵeto.
8 Yikwendendeka mu tumapiri kupenja uthekaYikupenja vyakumera vyakubiliŵira.
9 Kasi ng’ombe yamuthondo* yingazomera kukuteŵetera?+
Kasi nausiku yingagona mu chiŵaya chako?
10 Kasi ungakaka ng’ombe yamuthondo ku chakulimira kuti yikulimire mizere,*Panji yingakulondezga kuti yikagadure mu dambo?
11 Kasi ungayigomezga chifukwa chakuti njankhongono chomene,Na kuyilekera mulimo wako unonono?
12 Kasi ungayigomezga kuti yizenge na mbuto zako izo wavunaNdipo kasi yingaziwunjika apo ukupwanthira?
13 Mapapindo gha nthiŵatiŵa ghakukupizga mwachimwemwe,Kweni kasi mapapindo na mahungwa ghake ghakuyana na gha konongo?*+
14 Pakuti yikuleka masumbi ghake pasiYikughaleka kuti ghathukire mu fuvu.
15 Yikuluwa kuti lundi linyake lingaghaswaPanji kuti chinyama chamuthondo chingakandapo.
16 Ŵana ŵake yikuŵachitira nkhaza, nga kuti mbake yayi.+Yikopa yayi kuti yingaphyoka pawaka kubaba.
17 Pakuti Chiuta wali kuyinora vinjeru,Ndipo wandayigaŵireko mahara.
18 Kweni para yikunyamuka na kukupizga mapapindo ghake,Yikuseka hachi na uyo wakwerapo.
19 Kasi ndiwe ukupa hachi nkhongono?+
Kasi ndiwe ukulivwalika mawenjelere* mu singo?
20 Kasi ungalichitiska kuti lidukenge nga ni zombe?
Uchindami wa kufwenkha kwake ngwakofya.+
21 Likupalasura dongo mu chidika ndipo likuzaya na nkhongono zake,+Likuluta ku nkhondo.*+
22 Likuseka wofi, ndipo likopa kanthu chara.+
Likuwelera nyuma yayi chifukwa cha lupanga.
23 Kakuyeghamo mivi* kakuchita chiwawa para kakulikhwaska,Mkondo na kamkondo vikung’anima.
24 Likumbwambwantha na ukali, likulotoka,*Para mbata yikulira kuti lingimilira chara.*
25 Para mbata yikulira, likuti, ‘Eya!’
Likupungizga* nkhondo yichali patali,Ndipo likupulika kuchemerezga kwa ŵalongozgi ŵa nkhondo na kuchemerezga kwa nkhondo.+
26 Kasi lohera wakuwuluka na vinjeru vyako,Na kutandawulira mapapindo ghake kumwera?
27 Panji kasi ndiwe ukuphalira nombo kuti yidukenge muchanya+Na kuzenga chivwimbo chake muchanya chomene,+
28 Nausiku yikugona mu malo ghakusendemuka,Yikukhala mu malo ghake ghakukhora pa jalawe?
29 Yikupenja chakurya kufumira kwenekuko,+Maso ghake ghakulaŵiska kutali.
30 Twana twake tukumwa ndopa,Ndipo pose apo pali vyakukomeka, nayo yikuŵa penepapo.”+
