1 Chisha Elihu achienderera kugomba achiamba,
2 “Dze, we unaona ino ni haki?
3 Tsona unauza unaamba, ‘Ina fwaida yani kpwako?
4 Nindakujibu phamwenga na nyo asenao.
5 Lola ko mlunguni na uone,
6 Kpwani Mlungu andayugika ichikala wahenda dambi?
7 Ichikala u wa haki, we unamuphani,
8 Uyio unahusu mwanadamu dza uwe,
9 Kpwa sababu ya kuonerwa sana, atu nkurira,
10 Ela taphana aambaye, ‘Akuphi ye Mlungu muumba wangu,
11 anayehufundza zaidi kuriko nyama,
12 Aho nkurira, ela ye kaajibu,
13 Kpwa kpweli Mlungu kaphundza chiriro sicho mana,
14 Andakujibu viphi ichikala unaamba kumuona,
15 Mwimwi munaamba iye tsukizize tazitiya adabu,
16 Ayubu anafwenula kanwaye kugomba maneno sigo mana,
