2 “Ndikudziwa kuti Inu mungathe kuchita zinthu zonse; chimene mufuna kuchita wina sangaletse konse.
“Ndinoziva kuti imi munogona kuita zvose; hapana urongwa hwenyu hungakoneswa.
3 Munandifunsa kuti, ‘Kodi ndiwe yani amene ukufuna kusokoneza uphungu wanga ndi mawu opanda nzeru? Zoonadi ndinayankhula zimene sindinazimvetse, zinthu zodabwitsa kwambiri kwa ine zimene sindinazidziwe.
Mabvunza kuti, ‘Ndianiko uyu anodzikatira zano rangu iye asina zivo?’ Zvirokwazvo ndakataura pamusoro pezvinhu zvandisinganzwisisi, zvinhu zvinoshamisa kwazvo kuti ini ndizvizive.
4 “Inu munandiwuza kuti, ‘Mvetsetsa tsopano ndipo ndidzayankhula; ndidzakufunsa ndipo iwe udzandiyankhe.’
“Mati imi, ‘Chinzwa zvino, uye ini ndichataura; ndichakubvunza iwe, uye iwe uchandipindura.’
5 Ndinkangomva za Inu ndi makutu anga, koma tsopanonso ndakuonani ndi maso anga.
Nzeve dzangu dzakanga dzanzwa nezvenyu, asi zvino meso angu akuonai imi.
6 Nʼchifukwa chake ndi kuchita manyazi, ndikulapa podzithira fumbi ndi phulusa.”
Naizvozvo ndinozvishora pachangu, uye ndinotendeuka hangu muguruva nomumadota.”
7 Yehova atayankhula ndi Yobu mawu amenewa anawuza Elifazi wa ku Temani kuti, “Ine ndakukwiyira pamodzi ndi abwenzi ako awiri, chifukwa simunayankhule zabwino za Ine, monga mmene wayankhulira mtumiki wanga Yobu.
Jehovha akati areva zvinhu izvi kuna Jobho, akati kuna Erifazi muTemani, “Ndakakutsamwira iwe neshamwari dzako mbiri, nokuti hamuna kutaura zvakarurama pamusoro pangu, sezvakaitwa nomuranda wangu Jobho.
8 Kotero tsopano mutenge ngʼombe zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri ndi nkhosa zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri ndi kupita nazo kwa mtumiki wanga Yobu kuti mukapereke nsembe zopsereza. Mtumiki wanga Yobu adzakupemphererani, ndipo Ine ndidzalandira pemphero lake. Sindidzakuchitirani kanthu molingana ndi uchitsiru wanu. Inu simunayankhule zabwino za Ine, monga anayankhulira Yobu mtumiki wanga.”
Saka zvino chitorai hando nomwe namakondobwe manomwe mugoenda kumuranda wangu Jobho mundozvibayira sechipiriso chenyu chinopiswa. Muranda wangu Jobho achakunyengetererai, uye ini ndichagamuchira munyengetero wake ndigorega kukuitirai zvakafanira upenzi hwenyu. Hamuna kutaura zvakarurama pamusoro pangu, somuranda wangu Jobho.”
9 Motero Elifazi wa ku Temani, Bilidadi wa ku Suki ndi Zofari wa ku Naama anachita zimene Yehova anawawuza ndipo Yehova anamvera pemphero la Yobu.
Saka Erifazi muTemani, Bhiridhadhi muShuhi naZofari muNamaati vakaita zvavakaudzwa naJehovha; uye Jehovha akagamuchira munyengetero waJobho.
10 Yobu atawapempherera abwenzi ake aja, Yehova anamubwezera chuma chake ndipo anamupatsa mowirikiza kuposa zomwe anali nazo kale.
Shure kwokunge Jobho anyengeterera shamwari dzake, Jehovha akaita kuti abudirirezve akamupa zvakapetwa kaviri kupfuura zvaakanga anazvo kare.
11 Abale ake ndi alongo ake onse, kuphatikizapo onse amene ankamudziwa kale, amabwera kwa iye nʼkudzadya naye chakudya mʼnyumba mwake. Iwo anamutonthoza ndi kumupepesa chifukwa cha mavuto onse amene Yehova analola kuti amugwere. Aliyense wa iwowa anamupatsa ndalama ndi mphete yagolide.
Vanunʼuna vake vose nehanzvadzi dzake navose vaimuziva vakauya vakadya pamwe chete naye mumba make. Vakamuvaraidza uye vakamunyaradza pamusoro pamatambudziko akanga aiswa naJehovha pamusoro pake, uye mumwe nomumwe wavo akamupa chidimbu chesirivha nemhete yegoridhe.
12 Yehova anadalitsa Yobu pa masiku ake otsirizawa kupambana poyamba paja. Iye anali ndi nkhosa 14,000, ngamira 6,000, ngʼombe zantchito 2,000 ndi abulu aakazi 1,000.
Jehovha akaropafadza kupedzisira kwoupenyu hwaJobho kupfuura kutanga. Akanga ana makwai zviuru gumi nezvina, zviuru zvitanhatu zvengamera, nenzombe dzingasungwa pamajoko chiuru nembongoro chiuru.
13 Anaberekanso ana aamuna asanu ndi awiri ndi ana aakazi atatu.
Uye akazovawo navanakomana vanomwe navanasikana vatatu.
14 Mwana wake wamkazi woyamba anamutcha Yemima, wachiwiri anamutcha Keziya, wachitatu anamutcha Kereni Hapuki.
Mwanasikana wake wokutanga akamutumidza zita rokuti Jemima, wechipiri akamuti Kezia uye wechitatu akamutumidza kuti Kereni-Hapuki.
15 Mʼdziko monsemo munalibe akazi okongola ngati ana a Yobu, ndipo abambo awo anawapatsa cholowa pamodzi ndi alongo awo.
Panyika yose hapana kuwanikwa vakadzi vakanaka kupinda vanasikana vaJobho, uye baba vavo vakavapa nhaka pamwe chete nehanzvadzi dzavo.
16 Zitachitika zimenezi, Yobu anakhala ndi moyo zaka 140. Iye anaona zidzukulu zake mpaka mʼbado wachinayi.
Shure kwaizvozvi, akazorarama makore zana namakumi mana; akaona vana vake navana vavana vake kusvikira parudzi rwechina.
17 Potsiriza, Yobu anamwalira ali nkhalamba ya zaka zochuluka kwambiri.
Nokudaro akafa, akwegura ava namakore mazhinji.
