6 1Ndipo Yobu anayankha nati: 2“Ikanakhala kuti chisoni changa chikanayezedwa, ndipo mavuto anga onse akanaikidwa pamodzi pa sikelo! 3Ndithu zikanalemera kuposa mchenga wa m'nyanja—nchifukwa chake mau anga akhala achisawawa. 4Pakuti mivi ya Wamphamvuzonse ili mwa ine; mzimu wanga umamwa ululu wawo; zoopsa za Mulungu zandizungulira. 5Kodi bulu wakuthengo amalira ali ndi udzu wake, kapena ng'ombe imabuma ili ndi chakudya chake? 6Kodi chakudya chopanda kukoma nchodyedwa popanda mchere, kapena pali kukoma mu msuzi wa therere? a a v6 Therere ndi chomera chamtchire; msuzi wake wamadzimadzi unali wopanda kukoma ndi wosasangalatsa — fanizo la chakudya chopanda thanzi kapena chokoka mtima. 7Moyo wanga umakana kukhudza zimenezo; zinthu zoterozo zili chakudya chonyansa kwa ine. 8Haa, ikanakhala kuti pempho langa likanavomerezedwa, kuti Mulungu akanandipatsa chimene ndikuchilakalaka, 9kuti Mulungu akanafuna kundiphwanya, kutambasula dzanja lake nandidula! 10Ichi chikanakhalabe chitonthozo changa—ine ndikanalumphalumpha ndi chimwemwe ngakhale mu zowawa zopanda chifundo—kuti sindinakane mau a Woyerayo. 11Ndili ndi mphamvu yanji, kuti ndipitirize kuyembekezera? Nanga mapeto otani akundidikira, kuti ndipirire? 12Kodi mphamvu yanga ndi mphamvu ya miyala? Kodi thupi langa linapangidwa ndi mkuwa? 13Kodi mwa ine mulibe thandizo lililonse, pamene nzeru zoona zachotsedwa kwa ine? 14Aliyense amene amamana mnzake kukoma mtima asiya kuopa Wamphamvuzonse. 15Koma abale anga ndi onyenga ngati mtsinje wa m'chipululu, ngati ngalande za mitsinje imene imasefukira nkuphwa, 16yodetsedwa ndi madzi oundana osungunuka, yodzaza ndi chipale chofewa chobisika, 17koma pa nyengo youma imatha; kutentha kukabwera, imasowa pamalo pake. 18Magulu a apaulendo amapatuka panjira zawo; amakwera kulowa m'chipululu, nawonongeka. 19Magulu a apaulendo a ku Tema amafunafuna madzi; apaulendo a ku Seba amayembekezera madziwo. 20Amachita manyazi chifukwa anadalira; amafika pamalopo nakhumudwa. 21Tsopano inunso mwasanduka wopanda phindu; mukuona choopsa ndipo mukuchita mantha. 22Kodi ndinanenapo kuti, ‘Ndipatseni kanthu’? Kapena, ‘Ndiperekereni chiphuphu kuchokera ku chuma chanu’? 23Kapena, ‘Ndipulumutseni m'manja mwa mdani’? Kapena, ‘Ndiwomboleni m'manja mwa ankhanza’? 24Ndiphunzitseni, ndipo ndidzakhala chete; ndionetseni pamene ndalakwitsa. 25Taonani mmene mau owona amawawira! Koma kudzudzula kwanu kumatsimikiza chiyani kwenikweni? 26Kodi mukufuna kukonza mau chabe, kuyesa mau a munthu wotaya mtima ngati mphepo? 27Inu mungathe ngakhale kuchita maere pa mwana wamasiye ndi kugulitsa mnzanu weniweni. 28Koma tsopano, chonde yang'anani ine—sindingakunamizeni pamaso panu. 29Bwererani, ndikukupemphani; pasachitike chosalungama. Bwererani—chilungamo changa chilipobe. 30Kodi pali cholakwa pa lilime langa? Kodi pakamwa panga sipangathe kuzindikira chowononga?”
