Yobu 42
1 Awo Yobu n’addamu Mukama nti,
UJobe waseyiphendula iNkosi wathi:
2 “Mmanyi ng’oyinza okukola ebintu byonna, era tewali kyotegeka kyonna kiyinza kuziyizibwa.
Ngiyazi ukuthi ungakwenza konke, lokuthi kakulacebo elingavinjelwa kuwe.
3 Wabuuza nti, ‘Ani ono aziyiza okuteesa kwange atalina magezi?’ Mazima ddala nayogera ebintu bye sitegeera, ebintu ebyassukirira okutegeera kwange.
Ngubani lo ofiphaza iseluleko engelalwazi? Ngakho ngikhulumile lokho ebengingakuqedisisi, izinto ezimangalisayo kakhulu kimi, ebengingazazi.
4 “Wulira nkwegayiridde, nange mbeeko kye nkubuuza, onziremu.
Ake uzwe, ngizakhuluma mina. Ngizakubuza, njalo wenze ngazi.
5 Amatu gange gaali gaakuwulirako dda, naye kaakano amaaso gange gakulabye.
Ngokuzwa kwendlebe ngikuzwile, kodwa khathesi ilihlo lami liyakubona.
6 Kyenvudde neenyooma era neenenyezza mu nfuufu ne mu vvu.”
Ngakho-ke ngiyazinenga, ngiyaphenduka ethulini lemlotheni.
7 Nga Mukama amaze okwogera ebigambo bino eri Yobu, n’agamba Erifaazi Omutemani nti, “Nkunyiigidde ggwe ne mikwano gyo ababiri; kubanga temwanjogerako bituufu, ng’omuddu wange Yobu bw’akoze.
Kwasekusithi iNkosi isikhulume lamazwi kuJobe, iNkosi yathi kuElifazi umThemani: Ulaka lwami luyavutha kuwe lakubangane bakho ababili, ngoba kalikhulumanga ngami okuqondileyo njengenceku yami uJobe.
8 Noolwekyo kaakano mutwale ente ennume musanvu, n’endiga ennume musanvu, mugende eri omuddu wange Yobu, mweweereyo eyo ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, n’omuddu wange Yobu ajja kubasabira, kubanga nzija kukkiriza okusaba kwe nneme okubakolako ng’obusirusiru bwammwe bwe buli. Kubanga temwanjogerako bituufu ng’omuddu wange bw’akoze.”
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 Awo Erifaazi Omutemani, ne Birudaadi Omusuki, ne Zofali Omunaamasi ne bagenda ne bakola nga Mukama bwe yabalagira. Awo Mukama n’akkiriza okusaba kwa Yobu.
Ngakho bahamba oElifazi umThemani loBilidadi umShuhi loZofari umNahama, benza njengokutsho kweNkosi kubo; njalo iNkosi yemukela ubuso bukaJobe.
10 Awo Mukama n’aggyawo ennaku ya Yobu bwe yamala okusabira mikwano gye. Mukama n’awa Yobu ebintu emirundi ebiri okusinga bye yalina okusooka.
INkosi yasiphendula ukuthunjwa kukaJobe esekhulekele abangane bakhe; njalo iNkosi yengezelela konke uJobe ayelakho kuze kuphindwe kabili.
11 Awo baganda be bonna ne bannyina bonna ne bajja n’abo abaali bamumanyi okusooka, ne balya naye emmere mu nnyumba ye; ne bamusaasira ne bamukulisa okubonaabona kwonna Mukama kwe yakkiriza okumutuukako. Buli omu ku bo n’amuwaayo ffeeza nga bwe yasobola, n’empeta ya zaabu.
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 Awo Mukama n’awa Yobu omukisa mu nnaku ze ezaasembayo n’okusinga entandikwa ye bwe yali: yafuna endiga omutwalo gumu mu enkumi nnya, n’eŋŋamira kakaaga, ne ziseddume z’ente lukumi, n’endogoyi enkazi lukumi.
INkosi yasibusisa isiphetho sikaJobe okwedlula ukuqala kwakhe; ngoba waba lezimvu ezizinkulungwane ezilitshumi lane, lamakamela azinkulungwane eziyisithupha, lezipane zenkabi eziyinkulungwane, labobabhemi abasikazi abayinkulungwane.
13 Era Mukama n’amuwa n’abaana aboobulenzi musanvu, n’aboobuwala basatu.
Wasesiba lamadodana ayisikhombisa lamadodakazi amathathu.
14 Omuwala ow’olubereberye n’amutuuma Yemima, n’owokubiri n’amutuuma Keeziya, n’owookusatu n’amutuuma Keremukappuki, n’aboobulezi musanvu.
Wasebiza ibizo leyokuqala wathi nguJemima, lebizo leyesibili wathi nguKeziya, lebizo leyesithathu wathi nguKereni-Hapuki.
15 Awo mu nsi yonna ne wataba bakazi balungi kwenkana bawala ba Yobu. Kitaabwe n’abawa omugabo ogw’ebintu ogwenkanankana ne gwe yawa bannyinaabwe abalenzi.
Njalo kakutholakalanga abesifazana abahle njengamadodakazi kaJobe elizweni lonke; loyise wawanika ilifa phakathi kwabanewabo.
16 Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo, Yobu n’awangaala emyaka kikumi mu ana; n’alaba ku baana be ne ku bazzukulu be okutuuka ku bannakasatwe.
Lemva kwalokho uJobe waphila iminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amane; wabona amadodana akhe, lamadodana amadodana akhe, kwaze kwaba yizizukulwana ezine.
17 N’oluvannyuma n’afa ng’akaddiyidde ddala ng’awezezza emyaka mingi.
UJobe wasesifa, emdala, enele ngezinsuku.
