UJobe 1
1 Elizweni lase-Uzi kwakuhlala indoda eyayithiwa nguJobe. Indoda le yayingelasici, iqotho; yayimesaba uNkulunkulu njalo ikuxwaya okubi.
Ŋutsu aɖe nɔ Uznyigba dzi si ŋkɔe nye Hiob. Ŋutsu sia nye mokakamanɔŋutɔ kple ame dzɔdzɔe, evɔ̃a Mawu, eye wòtsri nu vɔ̃ɖi.
2 Yayilamadodana ayisikhombisa lamadodakazi amathathu,
Viŋutsu adre kple vinyɔnu etɔ̃ nɔ esi,
3 ilezimvu eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa, amakamela azinkulungwane ezintathu, izipani zenkabi ezingamakhulu amahlanu labobabhemi abangamakhulu amahlanu, njalo ilezisebenzi ezinengi. Yayinothile kulabo bonke abantu beMpumalanga.
kpe ɖe alẽ akpe adre, kposɔ akpe etɔ̃, nyi siwo wode kɔkuti kɔ na woŋlɔa agblee eveve teƒe alafa atɔ̃ kple tedzi alafa atɔ̃ kple subɔla gbogbo aɖewo ŋu. Eyae nye ŋutsu si de ŋgɔ wu ame sia ame le ɣedzeƒetɔwo katã dome.
4 Amadodana akhe ayesenza amazopha okwenza amadili okuthakazelela amalanga okuzalwa kwawo ezindlini zawo, anxuse odadewabo bobathathu ukuzakudla anathe labo.
Via ŋutsuwo ɖoa nuɖukplɔ̃ na wo xɔlɔ̃wo ɖe woƒe aƒewo me ɖe wo nɔewo yome eye wokpea wo nɔvinyɔnu etɔ̃awo be woaɖu nu ano nu kple yewo.
5 Kwakusithi mhla idili liphela, uJobe wayewabiza azowahlambulula. Ekuseni kakhulu wayesenza umnikelo wokutshiswa wamunye ngamunye esithi, “Mhlawumbe abantwabami benzile isono bathuka uNkulunkulu ezinhliziyweni zabo.” Lo waba ngumkhuba wakhe uJobe.
Ne kplɔ̃ɖoɖo la dze wo dzi kpe ɖo vɔ la, Hiob dɔa ame ɖa woɖakɔa wo ŋuti. Esaa numevɔ ɖe wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe nu, le ŋdi kanya elabena esusuna be, “Ɖewohĩ vinyewo wɔ nu vɔ̃ eye wodo ɖiŋu na Mawu le woƒe dziwo me.” Esiae Hiob wɔna ɖaa.
6 Ngelinye ilanga izingilosi zeza ukuzezethula phambi kukaThixo, loSathane weza lazo.
Gbe ɖeka la, dziƒodɔlawo va be woatsɔ wo ɖokui afia Yehowa, eye Satana hã nɔ wo dome.
7 UThixo wathi kuSathane, “Uvela ngaphi?” USathane wamphendula uThixo wathi, “Ngivela ekuzulazuleni emhlabeni, ngihambahamba ngisiya le lale.”
Yehowa bia Satana be, “Afi ka nètso?” Satana ɖo eŋu na Yehowa be, “Metso tsatsa ge le anyigba dzi, menɔ yiyim nɔ gbɔgbɔm le edzi.”
8 UThixo wasesithi kuSathane, “Usuke wayinanzelela yini inceku yami uJobe? Kakho emhlabeni onjengaye; kalasici, uqondile, indoda emesabayo uNkulunkulu, exwaya okubi.”
Tete Yehowa bia Satana be, “Èlé ŋku ɖe nye dɔla Hiob ŋua? Ame aɖeke mele anyigba dzi de enu o; enye mokakamanɔŋutɔ kple ame dzɔdzɔe, ŋutsu si vɔ̃a Mawu eye wòtsri nu vɔ̃ɖi.”
9 USathane waphendula wathi, “Kambe uJobe umesaba kungelasizatho na uNkulunkulu?
Ke Satana bia Mawu be, “Ɖe Hiob vɔ̃a Mawu dzodzroa?
10 Kawumbiyelanga ngothango yini yena lendlu yakhe, kanye lakho konke alakho? Uwubusisile umsebenzi wezandla zakhe kuze kuthi imihlambi yakhe yezimvu leyenkomo igcwale ilizwe lonke.
Menye wòe tɔ kpɔ ƒo xlã eya amea, eƒemetɔwo kple nu sia nu si le esi la oa? Èyra eƒe asinudɔwo ale be eƒe alẽhawo kple lãhawo gbagbã ɖe anyigba dzi.
11 Kodwa ake welule isandla sakho uchithe konke alakho, uzabona uzakuthuka ebusweni bakho.”
Ke do wò asi ɖa, ne nàxlã asi ɖe nu siwo katã le esi, ekema le nyateƒe me aƒo fi ade wò le wò ŋutɔ wò ŋkume.”
12 UThixo wathi kuSathane, “Kulungile, konke alakho kusezandleni zakho, kodwa yena ngokwakhe ungamthinti.” USathane wasesuka phambi kukaThixo.
Yehowa gblɔ na Satana be, “Enyo ta, nu sia nu si le esi la le asiwò me, ke mègaka asibidɛ eya amea ŋutɔ ŋu o.” Ale Satana dzo le Yehowa ŋkume.
13 Ngelinye ilanga amadodana kaJobe lamadodakazi akhe ayezitika ngokudla, enatha iwayini endlini yomnewabo omdala,
Gbe ɖeka la, esime Hiob ƒe viŋutsuwo kple via nyɔnuwo nɔ nu ɖum, nɔ wain nom le wo nɔvi tsitsitɔ ƒe aƒe me la,
14 isithunywa safika kuJobe sathi, “Inkabi bezilima labobabhemi besidla eduze khonapho,
dɔla aɖe va Hiob gbɔ gblɔ nɛ be, “Nyiawo nɔ agble ŋlɔm, tedziawo nɔ gbe ɖum le wo gbɔ lɔƒo,
15 kwafika amaSabhini ahlasela aqhuba konke ahamba. Izisebenzi azicakazile ngenkemba kwasala mina ngedwa engisindileyo ukuzakubikela!”
kasia Sebeatɔwo va dze wo dzi kplɔ wo dzoe. Wowu dɔlawo kple yi eye nye ɖeka koe te ŋu si be mava gblɔe na wò!”
16 Sisakhuluma esinye isithunywa safika sathi, “Umlilo kaNkulunkulu wehle uvela ezulwini wazitshisa izimvu lezisebenzi, kusele mina ngedwa engisindileyo ukuzakubikela!”
Esi wòganɔ nu ƒom ko la, dɔla bubu va eye wògblɔ be, “Mawu ƒe dzo ge tso dziƒo eye wòfia alẽawo kple dɔlawo, nye ɖeka koe si be mava gblɔe na wò!”
17 Elokhu esakhuluma kwafika esinye isithunywa sathi, “AmaKhaladiya abe ngamaqembu amathathu ehlela emakameleni akho awaqhuba ahamba lawo. Izisebenzi azicakazile ngenkemba kwasila mina ngedwa ukuzakubikela!”
Esi mekpɔ ɖe nu le nya la me o la, dɔla bubu va gblɔ be, “Kaldeatɔwo ƒe adzoha etɔ̃ va dze wò kposɔwo dzi eye wolé wo dzoe. Wowu dɔlawo kple yi, nye ɖeka koe te ŋu si be mava gblɔe na wò!”
18 Elokhu esakhuluma kwafika njalo esinye isithunywa sathi, “Amadodana lamadodakazi akho abesidla edilini enatha iwayini endlini yomnewabo omdala,
Esi ame sia hã mekpɔ ɖe nu le nya si gblɔm wònɔ me o la, dɔla bubu ge ɖe eme eye wògblɔ be, “Viwò ŋutsuwo kple nyɔnuwo nɔ nu ɖum, nɔ wain nom le wo nɔvi tsitsitɔ ƒe aƒe me.
19 kwathi masinyane vungu isavunguzane siqhamuka enkangala saphekula amagumbi womane endlu. Yathi mbo phezu kwabo bahle bafa, kwasila mina ngedwa ukuzakubikela!”
Kasia ya sesẽ aɖe ƒo tso gbegbe va lɔ xɔ la ƒe dzogoe eneawo ɖe me. Tete xɔ la mu dze wo dzi eye woku; nye ɖeka koe te ŋu si be mava gblɔe na wò!”
20 Ekuzwa lokho uJobe wasukuma wadabula isembatho sakhe, waphuca ikhanda lakhe. Wazilahla phansi wakhonza
Esi Hiob se esia la, etso hedze eƒe awu ʋlaya eye wòlũ eƒe taɖa. Edze klo de ta agu,
21 wathi: “Ngaphuma ngize esiswini sikamama, njalo ngizasuka ngize. UThixo wapha njalo usethethe; kalidunyiswe ibizo likaThixo.”
hedo gbe ɖa be, “Amamae menɔ hafi do go tso danye ƒe dɔ me, eye amamae manɔ hafi atrɔ adzo. Yehowae na eye Yehowae gaxɔe; woakafu Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ!”
22 Phakathi kwakho konke lokhu uJobe kazange enze isono ngokubeka umlandu wokuthi athi uNkulunkulu wonile.
Le esiawo katã me la, Hiob mewɔ nu vɔ̃ to fɔbubu Mawu me be ewɔ nu gbegblẽ o.
