1 Hagi anante Jopu'a amanage huno Ra Anumzamofona kenona hunte'ne,
UJobe waseyiphendula iNkosi wathi:
2 Nagrama antahi'noana nazano hunaku'ma hanana zana amne nehanankeno, mago vahe'mo'a e'ina hu'zana osuo huno osugahie.
Ngiyazi ukuthi ungakwenza konke, lokuthi kakulacebo elingavinjelwa kuwe.
3 Kagra nantahigenka, iza antahintahi'a omane vahe'mo Nagri knare antahi'zankura nagenoka hu'ne hunkama hu'nanana? E'i ana vahera nagragi'na, ke'na antahi'na osugeno nagri antahi'zampinena omaneanagi, knare zantfama hu'nea zanku amne keaga hu'noe.
Ngubani lo ofiphaza iseluleko engelalwazi? Ngakho ngikhulumile lokho ebengingakuqedisisi, izinto ezimangalisayo kakhulu kimi, ebengingazazi.
4 Anumzamoka hunka, Jopuga kagesa naminege'na keaga nehu'na, mago'a kagenoka hugahuanki kenirera nona hunanto hunka hu'nane.
Ake uzwe, ngizakhuluma mina. Ngizakubuza, njalo wenze ngazi.
5 Kora vahe'mo'za kagri kagenkea nehazage'na antahi'noe. Hianagi menina nagra'a navufinti kagoe.
Ngokuzwa kwendlebe ngikuzwile, kodwa khathesi ilihlo lami liyakubona.
6 Maka nanekema hu'noana ete erue. Ana nehu'na menina nasunku'ma huazana ama tanefapine kugusopafi mani'ne'na erinte ama hue.
Ngakho-ke ngiyazinenga, ngiyaphenduka ethulini lemlotheni.
7 Hagi Jopu'enema keagama Ra Anumzamo'ma huvagamareteno'a, amanage huno Temani kumateti ne' Elifasinkura hu'ne, Kagri'ene tare ronekagu'enena tusi narimpa aheramante'noe. Na'ankure Nagri eri'za ne' Jopu'ma nagriku'ma tamagema huno huamama hiaza huta, Nagri navu'nava zankura tamagra tamage huta huamara osu'naze.
Kwasekusithi iNkosi isikhulume lamazwi kuJobe, iNkosi yathi kuElifazi umThemani: Ulaka lwami luyavutha kuwe lakubangane bakho ababili, ngoba kalikhulumanga ngami okuqondileyo njengenceku yami uJobe.
8 E'ina hu'negu tamagra 7ni'a ve bulimakao afu'ene 7ni'a ve sipisipi afu'ene avreta Nagri eri'za ne' Jopunte vuta, tamagra'agu huta tevefi kre fanane hu' ofa ome hiho. Ana nehinkeno, Nagri eri'za ne' Jopu'ma tamagriku huno, nunamuma hanige'na, tamagra neginagi kema huta Nagri navu'nava zanku'ma tamage huta huama'ma osu'naza zantera, Jopu nunamuna antahi'na knazana ontamigahue.
Ngakho-ke zithatheleni amajongosi ayisikhombisa lenqama eziyisikhombisa, liye encekwini yami uJobe, lizinikelele umnikelo wokutshiswa, njalo uJobe inceku yami uzalikhulekela; ngoba isibili ngizakwemukela ubuso bakhe, ukuze ngingenzi kini njengobuthutha benu; ngoba kalikhulumanga ngami okuqondileyo njengenceku yami uJobe.
9 Anagema hutege'za Temani kumateti ne' Elifasiki, Suha kumateti ne' Bildatiki, Nama kumateti ne' Zofariki hu'za Ra Anumzamo'ma hihoma huno huzmantea zana amage ante'za tro hu'naze. Ana hazageno Jopu'ma hia nunamuna Ra Anumzamo'a antahimi'ne.
Ngakho bahamba oElifazi umThemani loBilidadi umShuhi loZofari umNahama, benza njengokutsho kweNkosi kubo; njalo iNkosi yemukela ubuso bukaJobe.
10 Hagi rone'araminku'ma huno Jopu'ma nunamuma hutegeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a knare nomani'za ete Jopuna ami'ne. Ko'ma Jopu'ma ante'nea fenozama havizama hu'nerera, tamagerfa huno Ra Anumzamo'a ana mika fenozana ete ami'neno, ana agofetura mago'ene ante agofetu huno amigeno rama'a fenoza ante'ne.
INkosi yasiphendula ukuthunjwa kukaJobe esekhulekele abangane bakhe; njalo iNkosi yengezelela konke uJobe ayelakho kuze kuphindwe kabili.
11 Anama hutege'za afu aganahe'zane asarehe'zane korapa rone'amo'zanena e'za noma'afina ne'zana eme ne'naze. Ana nehu'za Ra Anumzamo'ma knazama atregeno agrite'ma e'nea zankura, Jopuna eme zamasunku hunente'za, azeri hankaveti nanekea hu'naze. Ana nehu'za mago mago vahe'mo'a muse zana, zagone golireti'ma tro'ma hu'naza rini eritere hu'za eme ami'naze.
Kwasekufika kuye bonke abafowabo labo bonke odadewabo, labo bonke ababemazi mandulo, badla isinkwa laye endlini yakhe, bamkhalela, bamduduza ngakho konke okubi iNkosi eyayimehlisele khona; bamnika ngulowo lalowo uhlamvu lwemali, langulowo lalowo isongo legolide.
12 Ana higeno henka nomani'zama Jopu'ma manino vu'nea nomani zama'afina Ra Anumzamo'a asomu huntegeno ko'ma mani'nea nomanizana rugatere'ne. Higeno Jopu'a menina 14tauseni'a sipisipi afutami anteno, kemoli afutamina 6tauseni'a anteno, hozama e'neria bulimaka'ama zanazeri tragoteno rezmante'nea bulimakao afutamina 2tauseni'a anteno, a' tonki afutamina 1tauseni'a ante'ne.
INkosi yasibusisa isiphetho sikaJobe okwedlula ukuqala kwakhe; ngoba waba lezimvu ezizinkulungwane ezilitshumi lane, lamakamela azinkulungwane eziyisithupha, lezipane zenkabi eziyinkulungwane, labobabhemi abasikazi abayinkulungwane.
13 Ana nehuno Ra Anumzamo'a ru'ene Jopuma ami'neana, 7ni'a ne' mofavre nemino, 3'a mofa'ne ami'ne.
Wasesiba lamadodana ayisikhombisa lamadodakazi amathathu.
14 Hagi ese mofa'mofona Jemima'e huno agia antenemino, anante mofa'mofona Kesia'e huno agia antenemino, nampa 3 mofakura Keren-Hapuku'e huno agia antemi'ne.
Wasebiza ibizo leyokuqala wathi nguJemima, lebizo leyesibili wathi nguKeziya, lebizo leyesithathu wathi nguKereni-Hapuki.
15 Hagi anama mani'naza mopa'afina, Jopu mofa'nemo'zama hiranto hu'za knare zantfama hu'nazankna mofa'nea omani'naze. Ana hu'neankino Jopu'ma fenone mopanema refko huno ne' mofavre naga'ama nezamino'a, ana mofane nagara ana zanke huno refko huno zami'ne.
Njalo kakutholakalanga abesifazana abahle njengamadodakazi kaJobe elizweni lonke; loyise wawanika ilifa phakathi kwabanewabo.
16 Ana'ma huteno'a Jopu'a 140'a kafu mani'neno, agehone agigone azankonena ke'ne.
Lemva kwalokho uJobe waphila iminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amane; wabona amadodana akhe, lamadodana amadodana akhe, kwaze kwaba yizizukulwana ezine.
17 Ana'ma huteno'a Jopu'a knare'za huno za'zate maniteno, ozafa reno fri'ne.
UJobe wasesifa, emdala, enele ngezinsuku.
