Mʼdziko la Uzi munali munthu wina, dzina lake Yobu. Munthu ameneyu anali wosalakwa ndi wolungama mtima, ankaopa Mulungu ndi kupewa zoyipa.
2 Jopu'a 7ni'a ne' mofavreraminki 3'a mofa'neraminki huno zamante'ne.
Anali ndi ana aamuna asanu ndi awiri ndi ana aakazi atatu,
3 Hagi fenoma ante'neana 7tauseni'a sipisipi afutaminki, 3tauseni'a kemoli afutaminki, hozama eri bulimakao afutamina 500'agi, 500'a a' donki afutaminki huno nenteno, rama'a eri'za vahetamima'a mani'neankino, maka vahe'ma zage hanati kazigama mani'naza vahera Jopu'a zamagatereno tusi'a feno ne' mani'ne.

Ana ake aamuna ankachita phwando mosinthanasinthana mʼnyumba zawo, ndipo ankayitana alongo awo atatu aja kudzadya ndi kumwa nawo.
5 Hagi ana'ma hu'za ne'zama kre'za nene'za musenkasema huvagama retazageno'a, mofavre'amo'za ne'zama kre'za nene'za musenkasema hazafina kumima nehu'za Anumzamofoma huhaviza hunte'nesagura, nanterana Jopu'a ana maka mofavreramima'a kehutru huno zmente zmente sipisipi afura aheno tevefi kre fananehu ofa huno zamazeri agru Anumzamofo avurera hutere hu'ne.
Masiku aphwandowo atatha, Yobu ankawayitana kuti adzawayeretse. Mmamawa iye ankapereka nsembe yopsereza kuperekera mwana aliyense, poganiza kuti, “Mwina ana anga achimwa ndi kutukwana Mulungu mʼmitima yawo.” Umu ndi mmene Yobu ankachitira nthawi zonse.
6 Hagi mago zupa Anumzamofo ankero vahe'mo'za Ra Anumzamofo avuga atru hunaku neazageno, Sata'a anampina egeno,
Ana a Mulungu atabwera kudzadzionetsa pamaso pa Yehova, nayenso Satana anafika nawo limodzi.
7 Ra Anumzamo'a antahigeno, Kagra igati ane? Higeno Sata'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Nagra mopafi vano vano nehuregati oe.
Yehova anati kwa Satanayo, “Kodi iwe ukuchokera kuti?” Satana anayankha Yehova kuti, “Ndakhala ndikungoyendayenda ndi kumangozungulira mʼdzikoli.”
8 Anage higeno Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno antahige'ne, Eri'za vahe'ni'a Jopu'a maka zampina mani fatgo huno nemanino, Anumzamo'nagu korera nehuno, kefo avu'ava zana amefi hunemia ne' mani'neanki kagra ke'nano?
Pamenepo Yehova anati kwa Satana, “Kodi unalingalirapo za mtumiki wanga Yobu? Palibe wina pa dziko lapansi wofanana naye; ndi munthu wosalakwa ndi wolungama mtima, munthu amene amaopa Mulungu ndi kupewa zoyipa.”
9 Huno antahigegeno Sata'a amanage huno Ra Anumzamofona kenona hunte'ne, Kagra tamage hananagi, Jopu'a agafa'a me'nere agra Anumzamokagura korora hunegante.
Satana anayankha kuti, “Kodi Yobu amaopa Mulungu popanda chifukwa?”
10 Kagra vihugna hu'nenka mika kaziga agri'ene a' mofavre'ane mika'zama'anena kegava hunte'nane. Hagi agrama mani'nea mopafina mika zama hiazana asomu hunentankeno afufeno zama'amo'a ome ra huno mika zampina avite'ne.
“Kodi Inu simumamuteteza iyeyo, nyumba yake ndi zonse zimene ali nazo? Mwadalitsa ntchito ya manja ake, kotero kuti nkhosa ndi ngʼombe zake zili ponseponse mʼdzikomo.
11 Hianagi kzama rusutenka mika zama'ama ahe fananema hanankeno'a, kavu negesankeno huhaviza hugantegahie.
Koma tatambasulani dzanja lanu ndi kukantha zonse ali nazo ndipo iyeyo adzakutukwanani ndithu pamaso panu.”
12 Higeno Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Nagra hu izo hugantoanki, vunka Jopu'ma ante'nea zantmintera amne avako hunka eri haviza hugahane. Hianagi Jopu avufgarera avakora osutfa huo. Anage higeno Ra Anumzamofo avugatira Sata'a atreno vu'ne.
Yehova anati kwa Satana, “Chabwino, tsono zonse zimene ali nazo ndaziyika mʼmanja mwako, koma iye yekhayo usamukhudze.” Pamenepo Satana anachoka pamaso pa Yehova.
13 Hagi mago zupa Jopu ne'mofamo'za nempu'zimimofo nompi ne'zana kre'za nene'za waini tina nene'za musenkase nehu'za mani'nazageno,
Tsiku lina pamene ana aamuna ndi ana aakazi a Yobu ankachita phwando ndi kumwa vinyo mʼnyumba mwa mkulu wawo,
14 eri'za ne'mo'a Jopunte eno amanage eme hu'ne, Hozama eri bulimakao afutmimo'za hoza enerizageno, donki afutamimo'za trazana ana hoza tavaonte nene'za mani'nazageno,
wamthenga anabwera kwa Yobu ndipo anati, “Ngʼombe zanu zotipula ndipo abulu anu amadya chapafupi pomwepo,
15 Sabea kumateti vahe'mo'za e'za ha' eme hurante'za, ana maka eri'za vahetmina bainati kazinteti zamahe hana nehu'za, bulimakao afutamine donki afutaminena maka zamavare hana hu'za vazage'na, nagrake'za mani'nena ana naneke kasminaku fre'na oe.

16 Anage huno ana nanekema asmi vagaore'negeno ete mago eri'za ne'mo'a, agareno eno amanage eme hu'ne, Anumzamofo tevemo monafinti eramino mika sipisipi afutaminka'ane mika sipisipi afu kva vahetaminena teno eri hana hige'na anampintira nagrake mani'nena ana naneke kasminaku fre'na oe.
Iyeyo akuyankhulabe, wamthenga wina anabwera nati, “Kunagwa mphenzi ndipo yapsereza nkhosa ndi antchito anu onse, ndipo ine ndekha ndiye ndapulumuka kuti ndidzakuwuzeni!”
17 Anage huno ana nanekea asmi vagaore'negeno, ete nampa 3 eri'za ne'mo'a agareno eno amanage eme hu'ne, 3'a kevu hu'za e'naza Kaldia vahe'mo'za eri'za vaheka'a mika bainati kazinteti eme zamahe hana nehu'za, mika kemori afuka'aramina musufase'za vazage'na, anampintira nagrake frena ana naneke kasminaku oe.
Iyeyo akuyankhulabe, wamthenga wina anabwera nati, “Akasidi anadzigawa mʼmagulu atatu ankhondo ndipo anafika pa ngamira zanu ndi kuzitenga. Apha antchito anu onse ndi lupanga, ndipo ine ndekha ndiye ndapulumuka kuti ndidzakuwuzeni!”
18 Anage huno ana nanekea asmi vagaore'negeno, ete mago eri'za ne'mo'a agareno eno amanage eme hu'ne, Ne'mofaka'amo'za nempu'zmimofo nompi ne'zana kre'za neneza waini tina nene'za musenkase nehu'za mani'nazageno,
Iyeyo akuyankhulabe, panafikanso wamthenga wina nati, “Ana anu aamuna ndi aakazi amachita phwando ndi kumwa vinyo mʼnyumba ya mkulu wawo,
19 ame huno ka'ma kokampinti tusi'a zaho erino eno, anama mani'naza nomofona mika kaziga asoparega eme amino ahe pasru hutregeno, ana nomo'a pasru huno ana maka ne'mofaka'a zamahe fri vagarege'na, ana knazampintira nagrake atiramina fre'na kasaminaku oe.
mwadzidzidzi chinayamba chimphepo champhamvu chochokera ku chipululu, nʼkudzawomba nyumba mbali zonse zinayi. Nyumbayo yawagwera ndipo afa, ndipo ine ndekha ndiye ndapulumuka kuti ndidzakuwuzeni!”
20 Higeno Jopu'ma ana nanekema nentahino'a, tusi asunku nehuno otino zaza kukena'a tagato nehuno, aseni azokara hareno eri rampage nehuno, mopafi maseno Anumzamofona mono hunenteno,
Atamva zimenezi, Yobu anayimirira nangʼamba mkanjo wake, ndi kumeta tsitsi lake. Kenaka anadzigwetsa pansi napembedza Mulungu,
21 amanage hu'ne, Nenarera arimpafintira kukena osu navufa navapake e'noanki'na, fri'na vanuana navufa navapa vugahue. Agra Ra Anumzamo namiteno, ete Agra'a e'nerie. E'ina hu'neanki'na, Ra Anumzamofo ra agi amue.
nati, “Ndinatuluka maliseche mʼmimba mwa amayi anga, namonso mʼmanda ndidzalowa wamaliseche. Yehova ndiye anapereka ndipo Yehova watenga; litamandike dzina la Yehova.”
22 Hagi ama ana mika knazampima Jopu'ma unefreno'a, Ra Anumzamofona kna amino huhaviza hunteno kumira osu'ne.
Mu zonsezi, Yobu sanachimwe kapena kunena kuti, “Mulungu walakwa.”
