1 Chisha Elihu waamba,
2 “Phundzani go nigombago mwi atu enye ikima,
3 Mana sikiro nkupima maneno,
4 Nahutsambuleni gara garigo ga sawa,
5 Mana Ayubu anaamba, ‘Mino sina lawama,
6 Dzagbwe sina makosa, ela natalwa kukala wa handzo,
7 Ni ani ariye dza Ayubu,
8 Iye nkudziunga na atu ahendao mai,
9 Mana nkuamba, ‘Taimfwaidi mutu
10 Kpwa hivyo niphundzani, mwi atu muelewao,
11 Mana andamripha mutu kulengana na kaziye,
12 Kpweli nkukala, Mlungu kaweza kuhenda uyi,
13 Ni ani ariyemuika muimirizi wa dunia,
14 Kalapho Mlungu angehala rohoye,
15 anadamu osi angeangamika chivyamwenga,
16 Ichikala unaelewa, sikira vivi,
17 Dze, ye aberaye haki anaweza kutawala?
18 Amuambiraye mfalume, ‘Uwe kuna mana,’
19 Iye kapendeleya vilongozi,
20 Aho nkufwa gafula, usiku wa manane,
21 Mana matsoge ganalola njira za mwanadamu,
22 Taphana jiza au chilungulungu cha jiza,
23 Mana Mlungu kana haja ya kuchunguza mutu zaidi,
24 Iye nkuangamiza masujaa bila ya kuachunguza,
25 Kpwa kukala anamanya go ahendago,
26 Iye nkuapiga kpwa uyi wao,
27 kpwa sababu aricha kumlunga,
28 Aho ahenda chiriro cha achiya chichimfikira,
29 Ela achinyamala, ni ani awezaye kumlamula?
30 Iye nkuzuwiya atu asiomuogopha Mlungu asitawale,
31 Kpwani mutu achimuamba Mlungu,
32 Nifundza makosa nisigogaona,
33 Dze, Mlungu andakuriphiza dza umendzavyo uwe,
34 Atu a kuelewa andaniamba,
35 ‘Ayubu anagomba bila ya marifwa,
36 Naaza Ayubu angechunguzwa hadi mwisho,
37 Mana zo dambize anazienjereza kpwa kuasi,
