Yobu Ayankha
Yobu anyoza thandizo limene wapatsidwa, kenako aposa bwenzi lake poimba za mphamvu ya Atate wathu: dziko lapansi lopachikidwa pachabe, madzi omangidwa m'mitambo, nyanja yokhazikitsidwa bata, Rahabi wophwanyidwa. Ndipo zonsezi, akutero, ndi mphepete chabe ya kunong'ona kwake.
26 1Ndipo Yobu anayankha nati: 2“Mmene wathandizira wopanda mphamvu! Mmene wapulumutsira dzanja lopanda nyonga! 3Mmene wapatsira uphungu munthu wopanda nzeru, nawonetsa mochuluka chidziwitso chanzeru! 4Wayankhula mau awa mothandizidwa ndi yani? Ndipo mpweya wa yani watuluka mwa iwe? 5Mizimu ya akufa imanjenjemera—iyo ili pansi pa madzi ndi onse okhala m'menemo. 6Manda ali maliseche pamaso pa Atate wathu, ndipo Chiwonongeko chilibe chophimba. 7Amatambasula thambo la kumpoto pamwamba pa malo opanda kanthu; amapachika dziko lapansi pa chinthu chopanda kanthu. 8Amakulunga madzi m'mitambo yake yakuda, koma mitambo siyong'ambika chifukwa cha kulemera kwa madziwo. 9Amaphimba nkhope ya mwezi wathunthu, nayala mitambo yake pamwamba pake. 10Wajambula bwalo pa nkhope ya madzi, pa malire a pakati pa kuwala ndi mdima. 11Mizati ya thambo imanjenjemera, yodabwa ndi chidzudzulo chake. 12Ndi mphamvu zake anatontholetsa nyanja; ndi nzeru zake anaphwanya chirombo cha m'nyanja chotchedwa Rahabi. 13Ndi mpweya wake thambo linayera; dzanja lake linabaya njoka yothawa. 14Ndipo izi ndi mbali za kunja zokha za njira zake— konong'ona kochepa chotani kumene timamva za Iye! Koma bingu la mphamvu zake, ndani angathe kulimvetsa?”
