Job 42
1 And Job said in answer to the Lord,
Kisha Ayubu akamjibu Yahweh na kusema,
2 I see that you are able to do every thing, and to give effect to all your designs.
“Ninajua kwamba unaweza kufanya mambo yote, ya kuwa hakuna kusudi lako linaweza kuzuiliwa.
3 Who is this who makes dark the purpose of God by words without knowledge? For I have been talking without knowledge about wonders not to be searched out.
Ni nani huyo ambaye pasipo maarifa huificha mipango? Kwa kweli nilisema mambo ambayo sikuyaelewa, mambo magumu kwangu kuyafahamu, ambayo juu yake sikujua chochote.
4 Give ear to me, and I will say what is in my mind; I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers.
Uliniambia, 'Sikiliza sasa, nami nitasema; nitakuuliza mambo, nawe utaniambia.'
5 Word of you had come to my ears, but now my eye has seen you.
Nimekuwa nikikusikia kwa usikivu wa sikio langu, lakini sasa jicho langu linakuona wewe.
6 For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.
Basi ninajidharau mwenyewe; ninatubu kwa mavumbi na majivu.”
7 And it came about, after he had said these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, I am very angry with you and your two friends, because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.
Ilitokea baada ya kuwa amekwisha kusema maneno hata kwa Ayubu, Yahweh alimwambia Elifazi Mtemani, “Ghadhabu yangu imewaka dhidi yako na dhidi ya marafiki zako wawili kwa kuwa hamkusema maneno ya haki juu yangu kama alivyofanya mtumishi wangu Ayubu.
8 And now, take seven oxen and seven sheep, and go to my servant Job, and give a burned offering for yourselves, and my servant Job will make prayer for you, that I may not send punishment on you; because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.
Sasa basi, jitwalieni mafahari saba na mabeberu saba, kisha mmwendee mtumishi wangu Ayubu na mtoe sadaka ya kuteketezwa kwa ajili yenu. Ndipo Mtumishi wangu Ayubu atawaombea ninyi, nami nitayapokea maombi yake, ili kwamba nisiwashughulikie sawasawa na upumbavu wenu. Maana hamkusema mambo ya haki juu yangu, kama alivyofanya mtumishi wangu Ayubu.”
9 And Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as the Lord had said. And the Lord gave ear to Job.
Basi Elifazi Mtemani, Bildadi Mshuhi na Zofari Mnaamathi walienda na kufanya kama vile Yahweh alivyowaamuru, na Mungu alimtakabali Ayubu.
10 And the Lord made up to Job for all his losses, after he had made prayer for his friends: and all Job had before was increased by the Lord twice as much.
Na wakati Ayubu alimpowaombea rafiki zake, Yahweh alirejeza bahati yake. Yahweh alimjalia mara mbili ya kile alichokimiliki hapo awali.
11 And all his brothers and sisters, and his friends of earlier days, came and took food with him in his house; and made clear their grief for him, and gave him comfort for all the evil which the Lord had sent on him; and they all gave him a bit of money and a gold ring.
Ndipo ndugu zake na Ayubu, na wale jamaa zake wote walikuwa wanajuana naye hapo mwanzo, walikuja hapo kwake na kula chakula pamoja naye katika nyumba yake. Waliomboleza pamoja naye na walimfariji kwa ajili majanga yote ambayo Yahweh alikuwa ameyaleta juu yake. Kila mtu alimpa Ayubu kipande cha fedha na pete ya dhahabu.
12 And the Lord's blessing was greater on the end of Job's life than on its start: and so he came to have fourteen thousand sheep and goats, and six thousand camels, and two thousand oxen, and a thousand she-asses.
Yahweh aliubarikiwa mwisho wa maisha ya Ayubu kuliko mwanzo wake; alikuwa na kondoo kumi na nne elfu, ngamia elfu sita, jozi elfu moja, na punda jike elfu moja.
13 And he had seven sons and three daughters.
Pia alikuwa na wana saba na mabinti watatu.
14 And he gave the first the name of Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch;
Binti wa kwanza alimwita Yemima, na wa pili Kezia, na wa tatu Kerenihapuki.
15 And there were no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job in all the earth: and their father gave them a heritage among their brothers.
Katika nchi yote hawakupatikana wanawake wazuri kama mabinti wa Ayubu. Baba yao aliwapa urithi miongoni mwa kaka zao.
16 And after this Job had a hundred and forty years of life, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
Baada ya haya, Ayubu aliishi miaka 140; aliwaona wana wake na wana wa wanawe, hata kizazi cha nne.
17 And Job came to his end, old and full of days.
Basi Ayubu alifariki, akiwa mzee na akijawa na siku nyingi.
