2 “Apikane maloŵe gangu jemanja ŵamli ŵandu ŵalunda.
Ambikanile, jemanja ŵakusamanyilila yejinji.
3 Pakuŵa mawiwi gakusapasya maloŵe
Mpela yalukusati lulumi pakupasya yakulya.
4 Kwende tuwungunye achimsyewe yayili yakuŵajilwa
Kwende tulisagulile jika yayili yambone.
5 Pakuŵa Yobu aŵechete kuti, ‘Une nganilemwa,
Nambo Mlungu ngakundendela une yachilungamo.
6 Ana une lambusye kuti ngakusosekwa kulamula mwakundosya umbone mtima?
Liŵanga lyangu nganiliŵa liposile, atamose kuti pangali chilichose chandemwisye.
7 Ana ŵani ŵali mpela Yobu,
Ŵakusamwa kunyosyedwa mpela mesi gakumwa?
8 Jwalakwe akusakamulana ni ŵandu ŵakutenda yakusakala
Soni akusakunguluka ni ŵandu ŵakusakala.
9 Pakuŵa jwalakwe aŵechete kuti, ‘Mundu nganaŵa apatile chilichose
Pakutenda yindu yakumsangalasya Mlungu.’
10 Sambano ambikanile une, jemanja ŵandu ŵakupikanichisya yindu:
Yili yangakomboleka kuti Mlungu atende yakusakala,
Kuti Jwamachiligosopejo atende yakulemwecheka!
11 Jwalakwe akusamlipila mundu mwakamulana ni yitendo yakwe
Soni akusamleka kuti asimane ni yakuyichisya ya matala gakwe.
12 Nditu, Mlungu jwangatenda yakusakala.
Jwamachiligosopejo jwangapindimasya chilungamo.
13 Ana ŵani ŵaŵamŵisile jwalakwe kuti aŵe jwakulamulila jwa chilambo,
Soni ŵani ŵaŵamsagwile jwalakwe kuti achiloleleje chilambo chosope?
14 Naga jwalakwe akulolechesya yakusatenda jemanjajo,
Soni naga jwalakwe akwatyochesya msimu wawo soni mpweya wawo,
15 Nikuti ŵandu wosope mpaka amalile pamo,
Soni mtundu wa ŵandu mpaka uwujile ku luwundu.
16 Myoyo naga wawojo akusapikanichisya yindu, apikanile ayi mwakusamala.
Atejele mawiwi gawo mwakusamala pa yangusaka kuŵecheta.
17 Ana mundu jwakusaŵengana ni chilungamo mpaka alongolele yindu,
Kapena ana mundu jwamachili jwali jwakulungama mpaka mumtende kuti ali jwakusakala?
18 Ana wawojo mpaka amsalile mwenye kuti, ‘Wawotu ali ŵangali mate,’
Kapena mpaka ŵasalile ŵandu ŵakuchimbichika kuti, ‘Jemanjatu ali ŵakusakala?
19 Panatu jwine jwangakusalosya lusagu kwa ŵakulongolela
Jwele jwanganonyela ŵandu ŵakusichila ni kwaŵenga ŵakulaga,*
Pakuŵa jemanjaji wosope ali masengo ga makono gakwe.
20 Jemanjaji mpaka awe mwangajembecheya pasikati pa chilo,
Jemanjaji akusapuluputa kaneko ni kuwa.
Atamose ŵandu ŵamachili mnope akusiŵatyosyaga, nambo ngaŵa ni makono ga ŵandu.
21 Pakuŵa meso ga Mlungu gakusalola matala gakusajenda mundu,
Mwamti Mlungujo akusalola kajende kakwe kosope.
22 Kwangali chipi kapena malo gakusisika mnope
Kwampaka ŵandu ŵakutenda yakusakala ajawule kuti ajuŵeko.
23 Pakuŵa Mlungu nganamŵichila ndaŵi mundu jwalijose
Jakuti akawonechele pameso pa jwalakwe ni kumlamula.
24 Jwalakwe akusiŵakasanya ŵandu ŵamachili mwangalajila kuwungunya kaje
Kaneko akusiŵaŵikaga ŵandu ŵane pamalo pa jemanjajo.
25 Pakuŵa jwalakwe akusamanyilila yindu yakutenda jemanjajo.
Jwalakwe akusiŵajasa jemanjaji chilo, mwamti jemanjajo akusajonasika.
26 Jwalakwe akusiŵajonanga jemanjaji ligongo lya yitendo yawo yakusakala,
Akusatendela yeleyi pamalo gele ŵandu wosope mpaka alole,
27 Ligongo jemanjaji alesile kumkuya jwalakwejo
Soni mumtima mwawo ŵangaganichisya ata panandi ya matala gakwe.
28 Jemanja mkusimwatendekasya ŵandu ŵakulaga kumlilila jwalakwe,
Mwamti jwalakwe akusapikana kulila kwa ŵandu ŵanganakola ŵakwakamuchisya.
29 Mlungu patemi ngaŵecheta, ana ŵani ŵampaka asale kuti jwalakwe ali jwakulemwa?
Jwalakwe pasisile ngope jakwe, ana ŵani ŵampaka amwone?
Chinga akusisa ngopejo ku mtundu wa ŵandu kapena kwa mundu jumo, nambo yakuyichisya yakwe yikusaŵa yakulandana.
30 Akusatenda yeleyi kuti ŵandu ŵangajogopa Mlungu akalamulila ŵane
Kapena kwaŵichila yitega ŵandu.
31 Pangali jwampaka amsalile Mlungu kuti,
‘Mbochele chilango,* atamose kuti nganindenda chakulemwecheka chilichose.
32 Anjiganye yindu yanayilepele kuyiwona
Naga une ndesile yineyakwe yakulemwecheka, ngasimbwilisyasoni.’
33 Ana jwalakwe ŵalipile wawojo mwakamulana ni yakuganisya chitamilecho ali akanile kulamula kwakwe?
Wawojo asagule, une nganasagulila.
Myoyo asalile yakumanyilila chenene wawojo.
34 Ŵandu ŵakupikanichisya yindu chachiŵecheta kwa une
—Mundu jwalijose jwa lunda juchachimbikana une chachisalila kuti—
35 ‘Yobu agamba kuliŵechetela,
Soni yakuŵecheta yili yangali lunda.’
36 Yobuju akusosekwa alinjidwe* mpaka pambesi
Ligongo akwanga mpela mwakusatendela ŵandu ŵakusakala!
37 Jwalakwe akonjechesya kwimuchila pa ulemwa wakwete kala.
Jwalakwe akusakwata mmyala mwachipongwe m’weji tuli mkulola
Soni jwalakwe akusatupiya yakuŵecheta yakwe yakusisyana ni Mlungu jusyesyene!”
