Yobu 18

¹Pamenepo Bilidadi wa ku Suki anayankha kuti,

²“Kodi iwe Yobu utsiriza liti zoyankhula zakozi?

³Chifukwa chiyani ukutiyesa ngati ngʼombe

⁴Iwe amene ukudzipweteka wekha ndi mkwiyo wako,

⁵“Nyale ya munthu woyipa yazimitsidwa;

⁶Kuwala kwa mʼnyumba mwake kwasanduka mdima;

⁷Mayendedwe ake amgugu azilala;

⁸Mapazi ake amulowetsa mu ukonde

⁹Msampha wamkola mwendo;

¹⁰Amutchera msampha pansi mobisika;

¹¹Zoopsa zikumuchititsa mantha kumbali zonse,

¹²Mphamvu zake zatha chifukwa cha njala,

¹³Wagwidwa nthenda yoopsa thupi lonse;

¹⁴Wachotsedwa mʼnyumba imene ankadalira,

¹⁵Mʼnyumba mwake zonse zachotsedwamo;

¹⁶Mizu yake ikuwuma pansi

¹⁷Sadzakumbukiridwanso pa dziko lapansi;

¹⁸Amuchotsa pa malo owala ndi kumuponya ku mdima,

¹⁹Iye alibe ana kapena zidzukulu pakati pa anthu ake,

²⁰Anthu akumadzulo adabwa kwambiri ndi tsoka lake;

²¹Ndithudi, izi ndiye zimagwera munthu woyipa;
