Job 42
1 Then Job answered the Lord.
Pamenepo Yobu anayankha Yehova kuti,
2 “I know you can do anything. No one can prevent you doing what you want.
“Ndikudziwa kuti Inu mungathe kuchita zinthu zonse; chimene mufuna kuchita wina sangaletse konse.
3 You asked, ‘Who is this who questions my wisdom by talking so ignorantly?’ I was speaking about things I didn't understand—things too wonderful for me to know.
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.
4 You told me, ‘Listen to me, I am going to speak. I am going to question you, and you must answer me.’
“Inu munandiwuza kuti, ‘Mvetsetsa tsopano ndipo ndidzayankhula; ndidzakufunsa ndipo iwe udzandiyankhe.’
5 Before, I had only heard about you, but now I've seen you for myself.
Ndinkangomva za Inu ndi makutu anga, koma tsopanonso ndakuonani ndi maso anga.
6 That is why I'm sorry for what I said, and I repent in dust and ashes.”
Nʼchifukwa chake ndi kuchita manyazi, ndikulapa podzithira fumbi ndi phulusa.”
7 After the Lord had finished speaking to Job he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends because you have not told the truth about me, as my servant Job did.
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.
8 So take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job, and you shall offer a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray on your behalf and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your foolishness, because you have not told the truth about me, as my servant Job did.”
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.”
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite did what the Lord commanded them, and the Lord accepted Job's prayer.
Motero Elifazi wa ku Temani, Bilidadi wa ku Suki ndi Zofari wa ku Naama anachita zimene Yehova anawawuza ndipo Yehova anamvera pemphero la Yobu.
10 The Lord restored Job's prosperity when he prayed for his friends, and gave him twice as much as he had before.
Yobu atawapempherera abwenzi ake aja, Yehova anamubwezera chuma chake ndipo anamupatsa mowirikiza kuposa zomwe anali nazo kale.
11 Then all his brothers and sisters and friends he'd previously known came and ate with him at his home. They showed him sympathy and comforted him because of all the trouble the Lord had caused him. Each one of them gave him money and a gold ring.
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.
12 The Lord blessed the last part of Job's life more than the first part. Now he owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 teams of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.
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.
13 Job also had seven sons and three daughters.
Anaberekanso ana aamuna asanu ndi awiri ndi ana aakazi atatu.
14 Job called the first daughter Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-Happuch.
Mwana wake wamkazi woyamba anamutcha Yemima, wachiwiri anamutcha Keziya, wachitatu anamutcha Kereni Hapuki.
15 Nowhere in all the land were there women as beautiful as Job's daughters, and Job gave them the same inheritance as their brothers.
Mʼdziko monsemo munalibe akazi okongola ngati ana a Yobu, ndipo abambo awo anawapatsa cholowa pamodzi ndi alongo awo.
16 Job lived 140 years after this, seeing his children, and grandchildren, in fact four generations.
Zitachitika zimenezi, Yobu anakhala ndi moyo zaka 140. Iye anaona zidzukulu zake mpaka mʼbado wachinayi.
17 Then Job died at an old age, having lived a very full life.
Potsiriza, Yobu anamwalira ali nkhalamba ya zaka zochuluka kwambiri.
