Job 42
1 Then answered Job unto the Lord, and said,
Kisha Ayubu akamjibu Yahweh na kusema,
2 I acknowledge that thou art able to do every thing, and that no deep plan of thine can be restrained.
“Ninajua kwamba unaweza kufanya mambo yote, ya kuwa hakuna kusudi lako linaweza kuzuiliwa.
3 Who is he that dareth to conceal [thy] counsel without knowledge? Truly I have spoken of what I understood not, of things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
Ni nani huyo ambaye pasipo maarifa huificha mipango? Kwa kweli nilisema mambo ambayo sikuyaelewa, mambo magumu kwangu kuyafahamu, ambayo juu yake sikujua chochote.
4 Oh do but hear [me], and I will indeed speak: I will ask of thee, and do thou inform me.
Uliniambia, 'Sikiliza sasa, nami nitasema; nitakuuliza mambo, nawe utaniambia.'
5 I had only heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye hath seen thee.
Nimekuwa nikikusikia kwa usikivu wa sikio langu, lakini sasa jicho langu linakuona wewe.
6 Therefore I reject [what I have said], and repent; because I am dust and ashes.
Basi ninajidharau mwenyewe; ninatubu kwa mavumbi na majivu.”
7 And it came to pass, after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Themanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; because ye have not spoken of me properly, like my servant Job.
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 unto yourselves seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up a burnt-offering in your behalf; and my servant Job shall pray for you; for him alone will I receive favorably, so as not to deal with you after your folly; because ye have not spoken of me properly, like my servant Job.
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 Then went Eliphaz the Themanite and Bildad the Shuchite and Zophar the Na'amathite, and did in accordance with what the Lord had spoken to them: and the Lord received Job in favor.
Basi Elifazi Mtemani, Bildadi Mshuhi na Zofari Mnaamathi walienda na kufanya kama vile Yahweh alivyowaamuru, na Mungu alimtakabali Ayubu.
10 And the Lord brought back the captivity of Job, when he prayed in behalf of his friends; and the Lord increased all that Job had had twofold.
Na wakati Ayubu alimpowaombea rafiki zake, Yahweh alirejeza bahati yake. Yahweh alimjalia mara mbili ya kile alichokimiliki hapo awali.
11 And then came unto him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all that had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house; and they condoled with him, and comforted him for all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him; and they gave him, every one, a kessitah, and every one an earring of gold.
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 blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: and he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of 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 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
Pia alikuwa na wana saba na mabinti watatu.
14 And he called the name of the first Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
Binti wa kwanza alimwita Yemima, na wa pili Kezia, na wa tatu Kerenihapuki.
15 And there were not found such handsome women as the daughters of Job in all the land; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
Katika nchi yote hawakupatikana wanawake wazuri kama mabinti wa Ayubu. Baba yao aliwapa urithi miongoni mwa kaka zao.
16 And Job lived after this one hundred and forty years: and he 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 Then died Job, being old and full of days.
Basi Ayubu alifariki, akiwa mzee na akijawa na siku nyingi.
