Yobu 7
1 “Kodi munthu sakhala ndi ntchito yowawa pa dziko lapansi? Kodi masiku ake sali ngati munthu waganyu?
Knyythod is lijf of man on erthe, and his daies ben as the daies of an hired man.
2 Monga ngati kapolo wolakalaka mthunzi wa nthawi yamadzulo, kapena ngati munthu waganyu woyembekezera malipiro ake,
As an hert desireth schadowe, and as an hirede man abideth the ende of his werk;
3 choncho ine ndapatsidwa nthawi yongovutika pachabe, ndiponso usiku wamasautso wapatsidwa kwa ine.
so and Y hadde voide monethis, and Y noumbrede trauailous niytes to me.
4 Ndikamagona ndimaganiza kuti, ‘Kodi kucha liti?’ Usikuwo umatalika ndipo sindigona tulo mpaka mmawa.
If Y schal slepe, Y schal seie, Whanne schal Y rise? and eft Y schal abide the euentid, and Y schal be fillid with sorewis `til to derknessis.
5 Thupi langa ladzala mphutsi ndi zipsera, khungu langa langʼambika ndipo likutuluka mafinya.
Mi fleisch is clothid with rot, and filthis of dust; my skyn driede vp, and is drawun togidere.
6 “Masiku anga ndi othamanga kupambana makina wolukira nsalu, ndipo amatha wopanda chiyembekezo.
My daies passiden swiftliere thanne a web is kit doun `of a webstere; and tho daies ben wastid with outen ony hope.
7 Inu Mulungu kumbukirani kuti moyo wanga uli ngati mpweya; sindidzaonanso masiku achisangalalo.
God, haue thou mynde, for my lijf is wynde, and myn iye schal not turne ayen, that it se goodis.
8 Amene akundiona tsopano akundiona; mudzandifunafuna koma sindidzapezekanso.
Nethir the siyt of man schal biholde me; but thin iyen ben in me, and Y schal not `be in deedli lijf.
9 Monga mtambo umazimirira ndi kukanganuka, momwemonso munthu amene walowa mʼmanda sabwerera. (Sheol h7585)
As a cloude is wastid, and passith, so he that goith doun to helle, schal not stie; (Sheol h7585)
10 Iye sadzabweranso ku nyumba kwake ndipo onse omudziwa adzamuyiwala.
nether schal turne ayen more in to his hows, and his place schal no more knowe hym.
11 “Nʼchifukwa chake ine sindidzakhala chete; ndidzayankhula mopsinjika mtima, ndidzadandaula mowawidwa mtima.
Wherfor and Y schal not spare my mouth; Y schal speke in the tribulacioun of my spirit, Y schal talke togidere with the bitternesse of my soule.
12 Kodi ine ndine nyanja kapena chirombo chamʼnyanja kuti inu mundiyikire alonda?
Whether Y am the see, ethir a whal, for thou hast cumpassid me with prisoun?
13 Pamene ndikuganiza kuti ndidzapeza chitonthozo pa bedi panga ndipo pogona panga padzachepetsa madandawulo anga,
If Y seie, My bed schal coumfort me, and Y schal be releeuyd, spekynge with me in my bed;
14 ngakhale nthawi imeneyo mumandiopseza ndi maloto ndi kundichititsa mantha ndi masomphenya,
thou schalt make me aferd bi dremys, and thou schalt schake me with `orrour, ethir hidousnesse, `bi siytis.
15 kotero kuti ndimalakalaka kudzikhweza kapena kufa, kupambana kupirira zowawa zimene ndikuzimva mʼthupi mwanga.
Wherfor my soule `chees hangyng, and my boonys cheesiden deth.
16 Ine ndatopa nawo moyo wanga; sindingakonde kukhala moyo nthawi zonse. Ndisiyeni ndekha pakuti moyo wanga ulibe tanthauzo.
`Y dispeiride, now Y schal no more lyue; Lord, spare thou me, for my daies ben nouyt.
17 “Kodi munthu nʼchiyani kuti muzimuganizira chotere, kuti muzisamala zochita zake,
What is a man, for thou `magnifiest hym? ether what settist thou thin herte toward hym?
18 kuti muzimusanthula mmawa uliwonse ndi kumamuyesa nthawi yonse?
Thou visitist hym eerly, and sudeynli thou preuest hym.
19 Kodi simudzaleka kumandizonda kuti ndipezeko mpata wopumula?
Hou long sparist thou not me, nether suffrist me, that Y swolowe my spotele?
20 Ngati ine ndachimwa, ndachita chiyani kwa Inu, Inu wopenyetsetsa anthu? Chifukwa chiyani mwachititsa kuti ndikhale ngati choponyera chandamale chanu? Kodi ndasanduka katundu wolemera kwa Inu?
Y haue synned; A! thou kepere of men, what schal Y do to thee? Whi hast thou set me contrarie to thee, and Y am maad greuouse to my silf?
21 Chifukwa chiyani simukundikhululukira zolakwa zanga ndi kundichotsera machimo anga? Pakuti posachedwa ndilowa mʼmanda; mudzandifunafuna ine koma simudzandionanso.”
Whi doist thou not awei my sinne, and whi takist thou not awei my wickidnesse? Lo! now Y schal slepe in dust, and if thou sekist me eerli, Y schal not abide.
