< Jovu 2 >
1 Hagi mago zupa Anumzamofo ankeromo'za ete Ra Anumzamofo avugama eme atru hunaku'ma neazageno'a, Sata'a anampi e'ne.
Kwelinye ilanga njalo izingilosi zeza phambi kukaThixo, loSathane laye weza lazo ukuzezethula kuye.
2 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno antahige'ne, Kagra igati ane? Higeno Sata'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Nagra mopafi vano vano nehureti oe.
UThixo wasesithi kuSathane, “Uvela ngaphi?” USathane wamphendula wathi, “Ngivela ekuzulazuleni emhlabeni, ngihambahamba ngisiya le lale kuwo.”
3 Ra Anumzamo'a ete mago'ane Satana antahigeno, Eri'za vaheni'a Jopuna kenampi onke'nane? Mopafina agrikna vahera omani'neankino maka zampina mani fatgo huno nemanino, hazenke'a omanegeno Anumzamo'nagu korera nehuno, kefo avu'ava zana nosia ne' mani'ne. Agra mago hazenkea osu'nea zante, rehe'na kesue hanke'na hugantogenka maka zama'a omeri haviza hu'nananagi, agra ko'ma mani'nea kante mani fatgo huno mani'ne.
UThixo wasesithi kuSathane, “Usuke wayinanzelela yini inceku yami uJobe? Kakho emhlabeni onjengaye; kalasici, uqondile, indoda emesabayo uNkulunkulu, exwaya okubi. Ulokhu emi kubo ubuqotho bakhe lanxa wangiphoqa ukuthi ngimdilize kungelasizatho.”
4 Hianagi Sata'a ana kemofo nona'a amanage huno Ra Anumzamofonkura hu'ne, Avufgare'ma hazenkema fore'ma hinkeno'a, mika zama'a atreno agra'a avufga agura vazigahie.
USathane waphendula wathi, “Isikhumba ngesikhumba! Umuntu anganikela loba yini alayo ukusiza impilo yakhe.
5 Hianagi Jopu avufgare'ma krima neminka zaferina'ama eri havizama hanankeno'a negesnankeno huhaviza hugantegahie.
Kodwa yelula isandla sakho umtshaye inyama lamathambo akhe, uzabona uzakuthuka ebusweni bakho.”
6 Anage higeno Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Knareki amne kavesinia zana Jopu avufgarera hugahananagi, asimu'a e'orio.
UThixo wathi kuSathane, “Kulungile, usezandleni zakho, kodwa ungayithinti impilo yakhe.”
7 Higeno Sata'a Ra Anumzamofo avugatira atreno vuno Jopuna mika avufafina usage namu omeri fore humigeno, aga agusareti'ma vuno asenire'ma uhanati'neana usage namumo'a avite'ne.
Ngakho uSathane wasesuka phambi kukaThixo wathela uJobe izilonda ezibuhlungu kusukela ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe kusiyafika esicholo sekhanda lakhe.
8 Ana higeno Jopu'a tanefapi mani'neno, tako hu'nea mopa kavo atupa'a erino namuma'afina zuke nehateno mani'ne.
UJobe wasethatha ucezu lodengezi wazihwaya ngalo ehlezi esilotheni.
9 Ana'ma nehigeno'a nenaro'a huno, Amanahu zama nehigenka kagra nagafare fatgo kavukvara hunka neane? Ama atrenka Anumzamofona huhaviza huntegeno kahe frina frio.
Umkakhe wathi kuye, “Ulokhu ubambelele kubo ubuqotho bakho na? Mthuke uNkulunkulu uzifele!”
10 Hianagi Jopu'a kenona huno, Kagra negi nagi a'nemo'ma nehiankna ke nehane! Anumzamo'ma knare'zantamima tamisnigeta e'nerisuta'a, na'a hanigeta havi zanena e'origahu'e. Anage nehuno ana maka zama avufgare'ma fore'ma hia kna'afina, Jopu'a mago kumira keaga'afina osu'ne.
Wamphendula wathi, “Ukhuluma njengomfazi oyisiwula. Sizakwamukela okuhle kuNkulunkulu singalwamukeli uhlupho na?” Kukho konke lokhu uJobe kenzanga isono ngakutshoyo.
11 Hagi Jopu avufgare'ma hazenkema fore'ma hiankema nentahi'za 3'a arone'amo'za kea hu'za antahi'za hute'za, nozmia atre'za zamasunku'ma hunente'za azeri hanaveti kema asaminagura e'naze. Ana vahe'mokizmi zamagi'a, Temani vahepinti ne' Elifasi'ma, Suhi vahepinti ne' Biltati'ma, Na'ama vahepinti ne' Zofari'e.
Kwathi abangane bakaJobe abathathu, u-Elifazi umThemani, uBhilidadi umShuhi loZofari umNahama sebezwile ngazozonke inhlupho ezazimwele, basuka emakhaya abo bahlangana bavumelana ukuthi bahambe bayomqinisa njalo bamduduze.
12 Hagi afeteti'ma Jopuma eme nege'za ru vahe mani'ne hu'za kesavri hu'naze. Ana nehu'za erava'oma hu'za nege'za tusi krafa hu'za zavira nete'za tanefara hatregonefi'za tusi zamasunku hunte'naze.
Bathi bembona besesebucwala kabaze bamazi; baqhinqa isililo, badabula izembatho zabo, bathela uthuli emakhanda abo.
13 Ana hute'za 7ni'a knafi Jopu'enena mopafina mani'naze. Hagi ana knafina mago'mo'e huno Jopuna kea huomi'ne. Na'ankure Jopu'a tusi'a atazampi mani'neankino kea humigara osu'nege'za anara hu'naze.
Basebehlala phansi laye okwensuku eziyisikhombisa lobusuku obuyisikhombisa. Kakho kubo owatsho ulutho kuye ngoba babona ubuhlungu obukhulu ayephakathi kwabo.
