Yobe
21 Yobe atawira:
2 “Bveserani mwadidi pinalonga ine;
Pyenepi pinakhala cibalangazo kuna ine.
3 Pirirani mu ndzidzi unalonga ine;
Ndingamala kulonga, munakwanisa kundisingirira pyanu.+
4 Kodi ine ndiri kudungunyira munthu?
Khala ndi tenepo, mbidakwanisa kupirira?
5 Yang’anani kuna ine, mbamudzumatirwa;
Ikhani manja anu pamulomo panu.*
6 Ndinganyerezera pyenepi, ndisadzudzumika,
Pontho manungo anga onsene asatetemera.
8 Anawo ndzidzi onsene ali pamaso pawo,
Iwo asapitiriza na umaso mpaka kuona adzukulu awo.
9 Nyumba zawo ndi zakutsidzikizika, nkhabe cinagopa iwo,+
Mulungu nkhabe kuatcunyusa na ntcamu wace.
10 Ng’ombe zawo zimuna zisabazika mwadidi;
Ng’ombe zawo zikazi zisabala, izo nkhabe kugweda mimba.*
11 Anawo asathamanga kunja ninga nkumbi wa mabira,
Anawo asanumpha thangwi ya kutsandzaya.
13 Iwo asatsandzaya ntsiku zonsene,
Mbakhala muntendere mpaka kutcitira Munthumbi.*
14 Mbwenye iwo asapanga Mulungu wandimomwene: ‘Tisiyeni pyathu!
Ife nkhabe funa kudziwa njira zanu.*+
15 Kodi Wamphambvu Zonsene mbani, toera ife tintumikire?+
Tinawinanji tingandziwa?’+
16 Mbwenye ine ndisadziwa kuti iwo nkhabe mphambvu zakucitisa pinthu pyawo kufamba mwadidi.+
Manyerezero a anyakuipa ali kutali na ine.+
17 Kodi nyale ya anyakuipa isathimiswa kangasi?+
Iwo asagwerwa kangasi na nyatwa?
Kodi Mulungu aafudza kangasi thangwi yakuipirwa kwace?
18 Kodi iwo asakhala ninga maudzu anamburuswa na mphepo,
Ninga mapwepwa anamburuswa na condzi?
19 Mulungu anadzatcunyusa ana a munthu adacita pyakuipa.
Mbwenye Mulungu mbam’bwezerembo, toera iye apidziwe.+
20 Mbaone na maso ace kufudzwa kwace,
Iye mbamwe ukali wa Wamphambvu Zonsene.+
21 Thangwi angafa, anadzudzumika tani na pinafuna kucitikira anthu a panyumba pace,
Khala miyezi yace yacepeswa?+
23 Munthu unango asafa mbaciri na mphambvu,+
Mu ndzidzi wakuti ali wakupfulika, pontho nkhabe cinandzudzumisa,+
24 Mu ndzidzi wakuti ntcafu zace zakhuma,
Magogodo ace ndi akuwanga.
25 Mbwenye munthu unango asathabuka mpaka kufa kwace,
Mbadzati kutsandzaya na pinthu pyadidi mu umaso.
27 Ine ndisadziwa mwadidi pinanyerezera imwe,
Na pinabverana imwe toera kundicitira pinthu pyakuipa.+
28 Thangwi imwe musalonga: ‘Iri kupi nyumba ya munthu wakubvekera,
Uli kupi nsasa ukakhala anthu akuipa?’+
29 Kodi imwe nee mwabvundza anyakucita ulendo,
Nee mwanyerezera mwadidi pidalonga iwo?
30 Kuti munthu wakuipa asatsidzikizwa pa ntsiku ya nyatwa,
Mbapulumuswa pa ntsiku ya ukali?
31 Mbani anafuna kunsandika thangwi ya pinacita iye,*
Pontho mbani anafuna kum’bwezera pidacita iye?
32 Angaendeswa kumasiye,
Nthumbi yace inapitiriza kuonerwa.
33 Mataka anafuna kufikirwa na iye anadzakhala akutapira kuna iye,+
Anthu onsene asantowera,+
Ninga pidacitika na anthu akukhonda lengeseka, iye mbadzati.
34 Mphapo thangwi yanji musandipasa cibalangazo cakusowa basa?+
Mitawiro yanu ndi uthambi okha-okha!”
