4 Ana ake aamuna ankachita phwando mosinthanasinthana mʼnyumba zawo, ndipo ankayitana alongo awo atatu aja kudzadya ndi kumwa nawo.
Via ŋutsuwo ɖoa nuɖukplɔ̃ na wo xɔlɔ̃wo ɖe woƒe aƒewo me ɖe wo nɔewo yome eye wokpea wo nɔvinyɔnu etɔ̃awo be woaɖu nu ano nu kple yewo.
5 Masiku aphwandowo atatha, Yobu ankawayitana kuti adzawayeretse. Mmamawa iye ankapereka nsembe yopsereza kuperekera mwana aliyense, poganiza kuti, “Mwina ana anga achimwa ndi kutukwana Mulungu mʼmitima yawo.” Umu ndi mmene Yobu ankachitira nthawi zonse.
Ne kplɔ̃ɖoɖo la dze wo dzi kpe ɖo vɔ la, Hiob dɔa ame ɖa woɖakɔa wo ŋuti. Esaa numevɔ ɖe wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe nu, le ŋdi kanya elabena esusuna be, “Ɖewohĩ vinyewo wɔ nu vɔ̃ eye wodo ɖiŋu na Mawu le woƒe dziwo me.” Esiae Hiob wɔna ɖaa.
6 Ana a Mulungu atabwera kudzadzionetsa pamaso pa Yehova, nayenso Satana anafika nawo limodzi.
Gbe ɖeka la, dziƒodɔlawo va be woatsɔ wo ɖokui afia Yehowa, eye Satana hã nɔ wo dome.
7 Yehova anati kwa Satanayo, “Kodi iwe ukuchokera kuti?” Satana anayankha Yehova kuti, “Ndakhala ndikungoyendayenda ndi kumangozungulira mʼdzikoli.”
Yehowa bia Satana be, “Afi ka nètso?” Satana ɖo eŋu na Yehowa be, “Metso tsatsa ge le anyigba dzi, menɔ yiyim nɔ gbɔgbɔm le edzi.”
8 Pamenepo Yehova anati kwa Satana, “Kodi unalingalirapo za mtumiki wanga Yobu? Palibe wina pa dziko lapansi wofanana naye; ndi munthu wosalakwa ndi wolungama mtima, munthu amene amaopa Mulungu ndi kupewa zoyipa.”
Tete Yehowa bia Satana be, “Èlé ŋku ɖe nye dɔla Hiob ŋua? Ame aɖeke mele anyigba dzi de enu o; enye mokakamanɔŋutɔ kple ame dzɔdzɔe, ŋutsu si vɔ̃a Mawu eye wòtsri nu vɔ̃ɖi.”
9 Satana anayankha kuti, “Kodi Yobu amaopa Mulungu popanda chifukwa?”
Ke Satana bia Mawu be, “Ɖe Hiob vɔ̃a Mawu dzodzroa?
10 “Kodi Inu simumamuteteza iyeyo, nyumba yake ndi zonse zimene ali nazo? Mwadalitsa ntchito ya manja ake, kotero kuti nkhosa ndi ngʼombe zake zili ponseponse mʼdzikomo.
Menye wòe tɔ kpɔ ƒo xlã eya amea, eƒemetɔwo kple nu sia nu si le esi la oa? Èyra eƒe asinudɔwo ale be eƒe alẽhawo kple lãhawo gbagbã ɖe anyigba dzi.
11 Koma tatambasulani dzanja lanu ndi kukantha zonse ali nazo ndipo iyeyo adzakutukwanani ndithu pamaso panu.”
Ke do wò asi ɖa, ne nàxlã asi ɖe nu siwo katã le esi, ekema le nyateƒe me aƒo fi ade wò le wò ŋutɔ wò ŋkume.”
12 Yehova anati kwa Satana, “Chabwino, tsono zonse zimene ali nazo ndaziyika mʼmanja mwako, koma iye yekhayo usamukhudze.” Pamenepo Satana anachoka pamaso pa Yehova.
Yehowa gblɔ na Satana be, “Enyo ta, nu sia nu si le esi la le asiwò me, ke mègaka asibidɛ eya amea ŋutɔ ŋu o.” Ale Satana dzo le Yehowa ŋkume.
13 Tsiku lina pamene ana aamuna ndi ana aakazi a Yobu ankachita phwando ndi kumwa vinyo mʼnyumba mwa mkulu wawo,
Gbe ɖeka la, esime Hiob ƒe viŋutsuwo kple via nyɔnuwo nɔ nu ɖum, nɔ wain nom le wo nɔvi tsitsitɔ ƒe aƒe me la,
14 wamthenga anabwera kwa Yobu ndipo anati, “Ngʼombe zanu zotipula ndipo abulu anu amadya chapafupi pomwepo,
dɔla aɖe va Hiob gbɔ gblɔ nɛ be, “Nyiawo nɔ agble ŋlɔm, tedziawo nɔ gbe ɖum le wo gbɔ lɔƒo,
15 tsono panabwera Aseba kudzatithira nkhondo ndi kutenga zonse. Apha antchito ndi lupanga, ndipo ine ndekha ndiye ndapulumuka kuti ndidzakuwuzeni!”

16 Iyeyo akuyankhulabe, wamthenga wina anabwera nati, “Kunagwa mphenzi ndipo yapsereza nkhosa ndi antchito anu onse, ndipo ine ndekha ndiye ndapulumuka kuti ndidzakuwuzeni!”
Esi wòganɔ nu ƒom ko la, dɔla bubu va eye wògblɔ be, “Mawu ƒe dzo ge tso dziƒo eye wòfia alẽawo kple dɔlawo, nye ɖeka koe si be mava gblɔe na wò!”
17 Iyeyo akuyankhulabe, wamthenga wina anabwera nati, “Akasidi anadzigawa mʼmagulu atatu ankhondo ndipo anafika pa ngamira zanu ndi kuzitenga. Apha antchito anu onse ndi lupanga, ndipo ine ndekha ndiye ndapulumuka kuti ndidzakuwuzeni!”
Esi mekpɔ ɖe nu le nya la me o la, dɔla bubu va gblɔ be, “Kaldeatɔwo ƒe adzoha etɔ̃ va dze wò kposɔwo dzi eye wolé wo dzoe. Wowu dɔlawo kple yi, nye ɖeka koe te ŋu si be mava gblɔe na wò!”
18 Iyeyo akuyankhulabe, panafikanso wamthenga wina nati, “Ana anu aamuna ndi aakazi amachita phwando ndi kumwa vinyo mʼnyumba ya mkulu wawo,
Esi ame sia hã mekpɔ ɖe nu le nya si gblɔm wònɔ me o la, dɔla bubu ge ɖe eme eye wògblɔ be, “Viwò ŋutsuwo kple nyɔnuwo nɔ nu ɖum, nɔ wain nom le wo nɔvi tsitsitɔ ƒe aƒe me.
19 mwadzidzidzi chinayamba chimphepo champhamvu chochokera ku chipululu, nʼkudzawomba nyumba mbali zonse zinayi. Nyumbayo yawagwera ndipo afa, ndipo ine ndekha ndiye ndapulumuka kuti ndidzakuwuzeni!”
Kasia ya sesẽ aɖe ƒo tso gbegbe va lɔ xɔ la ƒe dzogoe eneawo ɖe me. Tete xɔ la mu dze wo dzi eye woku; nye ɖeka koe te ŋu si be mava gblɔe na wò!”
20 Atamva zimenezi, Yobu anayimirira nangʼamba mkanjo wake, ndi kumeta tsitsi lake. Kenaka anadzigwetsa pansi napembedza Mulungu,
Esi Hiob se esia la, etso hedze eƒe awu ʋlaya eye wòlũ eƒe taɖa. Edze klo de ta agu,
21 nati, “Ndinatuluka maliseche mʼmimba mwa amayi anga, namonso mʼmanda ndidzalowa wamaliseche. Yehova ndiye anapereka ndipo Yehova watenga; litamandike dzina la Yehova.”
hedo gbe ɖa be, “Amamae menɔ hafi do go tso danye ƒe dɔ me, eye amamae manɔ hafi atrɔ adzo. Yehowae na eye Yehowae gaxɔe; woakafu Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ!”
22 Mu zonsezi, Yobu sanachimwe kapena kunena kuti, “Mulungu walakwa.”
Le esiawo katã me la, Hiob mewɔ nu vɔ̃ to fɔbubu Mawu me be ewɔ nu gbegblẽ o.
