Mafala Toera Kulonga M'mbuto mwa Mulungu

Elihu asalonga m'mbuto mwa Mulungu: nyatwa ndi kupfundzisa, khutu inafungulwa, pontho Djobi mbadakokedwa kupita ku mbuto yakufunguka. Penepo mafala ace asasanduka kudzumatirwa: mvula inasonyoka buluka mu cidzimbuta, kulira kwa kudzulu, njazi inaponywa ku mbuto yace. Mulungu ndi wankulu, pontho ife nkhabe kumudziwa.

Kapitulu 36.

Na tenepo Elihu apitiriza mbalonga tenepa: “Ndipirira pang'ono, ndinakupangiza, thangwi kuciripo mafala toera kulonga m'mbuto mwa Mulungu. Ndinabweresa cidziwiso canga ca kutali, mbandipereka kulungama kwa Nyakundicita. Thangwi, mwandimomwene, mafala anga nkhabe kunama; ule wakukwana mu cidziwiso ali na iwe. Ona, Mulungu ndi wamphambvu, mbwenye nkhabe kupwaza; ndi wamphambvu mu mphambvu ya kubvesesa. Nkhabe kusunga anyakuipa maso, mbwenye asapasa cilungamo kuna akutcingwa. Nkhabe kubulusa maso ace kuna akulungama; asaakhazika pamwe na amambo pa mipando yawo yaumambo kwenda na kwenda, mbakuzwa. Angamangwa na maketani, mbaphatwa mu nkhambala za nyatwa, penepo asaapanga macitiro awo na kundopenga kwawo, kuti acita mwakudzikuza. Asafungula makutu awo ku pfundziso, mbaalamula toera atcunyuke ku madawo. Angabvera mban'tumikira Iye, asamalisa ntsiku zawo mu kupfuma, pyaka pyawo mbapita mwakutsandzaya. Mbwenye angakhonda kubvera, asafa na supada, mbafa mwakukhonda cidziwiso. Akusowa Mulungu muntima asasunga ukali; nkhabe kuphemba ciphedzo pakuamanga Iye. Moyo wawo usafa mu uphale, umaso wawo mbumala pakati pa anyakucita upombo wa milungu. Asapulumusa akutcingwa na kutcingwa kwawo, mbafungula makutu awo na nyatwa. Mbadakukwewambo kubuluka mu mulomo wa nyatwa toera ku mbuto yakulapha, yakufunguka yakusowa kutcingwa, meza yako mbidadzaliswa na upfumi. Mbwenye iwe wadzala na kutongwa kwakuthema anyakuipa; kutonga na cilungamo pyakuphata iwe. Onesesa toera ukali ukhonde kukunyengeza toera kusingirira, leka kutawirisa cakulombola cikulu kukuphonyesa. Kodi kulira kwako kwakuphemba ciphedzo kunakukwanisa kukusudzula ku nyatwa, peno mphambvu zonsene za mphambvu yako? Leka kufunisisa masiku, ndzidzi unagwandwa anthu kubuluka mu mbuto yawo. Citira mphole-mphole; leka kutcunyukira ku madawo, thangwi wasankhula ipi m'mbuto mwa kutcingwa. Ona, Mulungu akuzwa mu mphambvu yace; mbani mpfundzisi ninga Iye?

“Mbani adantongera njira yace, peno mbani anakwanisa kulonga: ‘Imwe mwacita pyakuipa’? Kumbuka kusimba basa yace, idasimba anthu mu nyimbo. Anthu onsene ayang'ana pyenepi; anthu asapiona pya kutali. Ona, Mulungu ndi wankulu, ife nkhabe kundziwa Iye; unango wa pyaka pyace nkhabe kudziwika. Thangwi Iye asakweza madodhodo a madzi; mbagwa ninga mvura kubuluka mu nkhundzi wace, idathukunyurwa na makole, mbaigwisa mwakudzala pa anthu. Kodi munthu anakwanisa kubvesesa kuthabalala kwa makole, kutuluma kwa tendi yace? Ona, asabalalisa ciphaliwali cace n'khundu mwace, mbakhuphira kuzika kwa bara. Thangwi na pyenepi asatonga anthu; asapereka cakudya mwakudzala. Asadzadza manja ace na ciphaliwali, mbacilamula toera cimenye pa cakulinga. Kutuluma kwace kusan'longa Iye; ngakhale pifuyo pisadziwa kuti condzi ciri kubwera.”
