Job 18 – KJV & CCL

King James Version

Job 18:1-21

1Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, 2How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak. 3Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight? 4He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?18.4 himself: Heb. his soul

5Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine. 6The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.18.6 candle: or, lamp 7The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down. 8For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare. 9The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him. 10The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.18.10 laid: Heb. hidden

11Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.18.11 drive: Heb. scatter 12His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side. 13It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.18.13 strength: Heb. bars 14His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors. 15It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation. 16His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off. 17His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street. 18He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.18.18 He…: Heb. They shall drive him 19He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings. 20They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.18.20 went…: or, lived with him18.20 were…: Heb. laid hold on horror 21Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.

Mawu a Mulungu mu Chichewa Chalero

Yobu 18:1-21

Mawu a Bilidadi

1Pamenepo Bilidadi wa ku Suki anayankha kuti,

2“Kodi iwe Yobu utsiriza liti zoyankhula zakozi?

Khala munthu wozindikira zinthu ndipo ukatero ife tidzayankhula.

3Chifukwa chiyani ukutiyesa ngati ngʼombe

ndi kuoneka ngati opusa mʼmaso mwako?

4Iwe amene ukudzipweteka wekha ndi mkwiyo wako,

kodi dziko lapansi lisanduke bwinja chifukwa cha iweyo?

Kodi kapena thanthwe lisunthidwe kuchoka pa malo ake?

5“Nyale ya munthu woyipa yazimitsidwa;

malawi a moto wake sakuwalanso.

6Kuwala kwa mʼnyumba mwake kwasanduka mdima;

nyale ya pambali pake yazima.

7Mayendedwe ake amgugu azilala;

fundo zake zomwe zamugwetsa.

8Mapazi ake amulowetsa mu ukonde

ndipo akungoyendayenda mu ukondewo.

9Msampha wamkola mwendo;

khwekhwe lamugwiritsitsa.

10Amutchera msampha pansi mobisika;

atchera diwa pa njira yake.

11Zoopsa zikumuchititsa mantha kumbali zonse,

zikutsatira mayendedwe ake onse.

12Mphamvu zake zatha chifukwa cha njala,

tsoka likumudikira.

13Wagwidwa nthenda yoopsa thupi lonse;

miyendo yake, manja ake, zonse zawola.

14Wachotsedwa mʼnyumba imene ankadalira,

ndipo amukokera ku imfa, mfumu ya zoopsa zonse.

15Mʼnyumba mwake zonse zachotsedwamo;

awazamo sulufule kuti aphe tizirombo ta matenda.

16Mizu yake ikuwuma pansi

ndipo nthambi zake zikufota

17Sadzakumbukiridwanso pa dziko lapansi;

sadzakhalanso ndi chinthu chomutchukitsa mʼdziko.

18Amuchotsa pa malo owala ndi kumuponya ku mdima,

ndipo amupirikitsa pa dziko lonse.

19Iye alibe ana kapena zidzukulu pakati pa anthu ake,

kulibe wotsala kumene iye ankakhala.

20Anthu akumadzulo adabwa kwambiri ndi tsoka lake;

anthu akummawa agwidwa ndi mantha aakulu.

21Ndithudi, izi ndiye zimagwera munthu woyipa;

amenewa ndiye mathero a munthu amene sadziwa Mulungu.”
