6 Otu ụbọchị ụmụ Chineke bịara igosi onwe ha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị ma ekwensu sonyekwara ha bịa.
Kwasekusiba losuku lapho amadodana kaNkulunkulu eza ukuzimisa phambi kweNkosi, loSathane laye wafika phakathi kwawo.
7 Onyenwe anyị sịrị Ekwensu, “Ebee ka i si abịa?” Ekwensu zara Onyenwe anyị, “Site nʼịwagharị nʼụwa na site nʼịgagharị ihu na azụ nʼime ya.”
INkosi yasisithi kuSathane: Uvela ngaphi? USathane wasephendula iNkosi wathi: Ekuzulazuleni emhlabeni lekuhambahambeni kuwo.
8 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị sịrị Ekwensu, “I leziela ohu m nwoke Job anya? Ọ dịghị onye ọzọ nọ nʼụwa nke dịka ya. Ọ bụ nwoke zuruoke, onye na-emekwa ihe ziri ezi. Ọ bụ onye na-atụ egwu Chineke, na-adịghị etinye aka ya nʼihe ọjọọ ọbụla.”
INkosi yasisithi kuSathane: Ubekile yini inhliziyo yakho encekwini yami uJobe, ngoba kakho onjengayo emhlabeni, umuntu opheleleyo loqondileyo, owesaba uNkulunkulu loxwaya ububi?
9 Ekwensu zara Onyenwe anyị sị, “Job ọ na-atụ Chineke egwu nʼefu?
USathane wasephendula iNkosi wathi: UJobe umesabela ize uNkulunkulu yini?
10 Ọ bụ na ị gbaghị Job na ezinaụlọ ya na ihe niile o nwere ogige gburugburu nʼakụkụ niile? I gọziela ọrụ aka ya, nke mere na igwe ewu na atụrụ ya na igwe ehi ya jupụtara ebe niile.
Kawumbiyelanga yini yena lendlu yakhe lakho konke alakho inhlangothi zonke? Ubusisile umsebenzi wezandla zakhe, lezifuyo zakhe zanda kakhulu elizweni.
11 Ngwa, setịpụ aka gị metụ ihe niile o nwere aka, ka ị hụ ma ọ gaghị abụ gị ọnụ.”
Kodwa isibili yelula isandla sakho khathesi, uthinte konke alakho; sibili uzakuthuka ebusweni bakho.
12 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị zara ekwensu sị ya, “Lee Job, jiri niile o nwere mee ihe ọbụla ị chọrọ, kama emetụkwala ndụ ya aka.” Emesịa, ekwensu sitere nʼihu Onyenwe anyị pụọ.
INkosi yasisithi kuSathane: Khangela konke alakho kusesandleni sakho; kuphela kuye ungeluleli isandla sakho. Wasephuma uSathane phambi kweNkosi.

14 Otu onye nʼime ndị na-eje ozi bịakwutere Job sị, “Mgbe ehi anyị na-akọ ọrụ na mgbe ịnyịnya ibu anyị na-ata nri nʼebe dị nso,
Kwasekufika isithunywa kuJobe sathi: Inkabi bezilima labobabhemi besidla emaceleni azo;

18 Mgbe ọ kpụ okwu ya nʼọnụ, onyeozi ọzọ batakwara kwuo sị, “Ụmụ gị ndị ikom na ndị inyom nọ nʼụlọ nwanne ha nke okenye na-eri na-aṅụ,
Lesi sisakhuluma, kwafika lesinye, sathi: Amadodana akho lamadodakazi akho bebesidla benatha iwayini endlini yomfowabo, izibulo.
19 na mberede, oke ifufe dị ukwuu nke si nʼọzara feere tie akụkụ anọ nke ụlọ ahụ, mee ka ọ dakwasị ha. Ha niile nwụrụ, ma ọ bụkwa naanị m gbapụtara ịgwa gị ihe mere.”

20 Mgbe Job nụrụ ihe ndị a, o sitere nʼebe ọ nọ bilie ọtọ, dọwaa uwe ya, kpụchaa agịrị isi ya, ọ dara nʼala ma kpọọ isiala,
UJobe wasesukuma, wadabula ibhatshi lakhe, waphuca ikhanda lakhe, wawa emhlabathini, wakhonza;
21 kwuo sị: “Ọtọ ka m gba mgbe m si nʼafọ nne m pụta nʼọnọdụ ịgba ọtọ ka m ga-eji laghachikwa. Onyenwe anyị nyere ihe niile, Onyenwe anyị ewerekwala ihe niile, ka aha Onyenwe anyị bụrụ ihe a gọziri agọzi.”
wasesithi: Ngaphuma ngize esiswini sikamama, njalo ngizabuyela khona ngize; iNkosi yapha, iNkosi ithethe; kalibusiswe ibizo leNkosi.
22 Nʼime ihe ndị a niile, Job emehieghị site nʼibo Chineke ebubo ime ihe ọjọọ.
Kukho konke lokhu uJobe konanga, kambalelanga ubuwula uNkulunkulu.
