Job 42
1 Then Job responded to Yahweh, and said: —
Kisha Ayubu akamjibu Yahweh na kusema,
2 I know that, all things, thou canst do, and that no purpose can be withholden from thee.
“Ninajua kwamba unaweza kufanya mambo yote, ya kuwa hakuna kusudi lako linaweza kuzuiliwa.
3 Who is it that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore, have I declared, but not understood, things too wonderful for me, which I could not know.
Ni nani huyo ambaye pasipo maarifa huificha mipango? Kwa kweli nilisema mambo ambayo sikuyaelewa, mambo magumu kwangu kuyafahamu, ambayo juu yake sikujua chochote.
4 Hear thou, I pray thee, and, I, will speak, I will ask thee, and inform thou me.
Uliniambia, 'Sikiliza sasa, nami nitasema; nitakuuliza mambo, nawe utaniambia.'
5 By the hearing of the ear, had I heard thee, but, now, mine own eye, hath seen thee.
Nimekuwa nikikusikia kwa usikivu wa sikio langu, lakini sasa jicho langu linakuona wewe.
6 For this cause, I tremble and repent, on dust and ashes.
Basi ninajidharau mwenyewe; ninatubu kwa mavumbi na majivu.”
7 And it came to pass, after Yahweh had spoken these words unto Job, that Yahweh, said unto Eliphaz the Temanite, Kindled is mine anger against thee and against thy two friends, for ye have not spoken concerning me the thing that is right, 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 Now, therefore, take unto you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go unto my servant Job, and ye shall offer up an ascending-sacrifice in your own behalf, and, Job my servant, shall pray over you, —for, him, will I accept, that I may not deal out to you disgrace, because ye have not spoken concerning me the thing that is right, 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 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite [and] Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according to that which Yahweh had spoken unto them, —and Yahweh accepted Job.
Basi Elifazi Mtemani, Bildadi Mshuhi na Zofari Mnaamathi walienda na kufanya kama vile Yahweh alivyowaamuru, na Mungu alimtakabali Ayubu.
10 And, Yahweh himself, turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed in behalf of his friends, —and Yahweh increased all that Job had possessed, unto twice as much.
Na wakati Ayubu alimpowaombea rafiki zake, Yahweh alirejeza bahati yake. Yahweh alimjalia mara mbili ya kile alichokimiliki hapo awali.
11 Then came unto him all his brethren and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and they did eat bread with him in his house, —and shewed sympathy with him and comforted him, over all the calamity which Yahweh had brought upon him, —and they gave him, every one a weight of money, and every one, a ring 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, Yahweh, blessed the latter end of Job, more than his beginning, —and so he came to have 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 And he came to have seven sons, and three daughters;
Pia alikuwa na wana saba na mabinti watatu.
14 and he called the name of the first Jemima, and the name of the second Kezia, —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 found no women so fair as the daughters of Job, in all the land, —and their father gave them an inheritance, in the midst of their brethren.
Katika nchi yote hawakupatikana wanawake wazuri kama mabinti wa Ayubu. Baba yao aliwapa urithi miongoni mwa kaka zao.
16 And Job lived, after this, a hundred and forty years, —and saw his sons and his sons’ sons, four generations.
Baada ya haya, Ayubu aliishi miaka 140; aliwaona wana wake na wana wa wanawe, hata kizazi cha nne.
17 So Job died, old and satisfied with days.
Basi Ayubu alifariki, akiwa mzee na akijawa na siku nyingi.
