Ngwa, setịpụ aka gị metụ ihe niile o nwere aka, ka ị hụ ma ọ gaghị abụ gị ọnụ.”
12 UThixo wathi kuSathane, “Kulungile, konke alakho kusezandleni zakho, kodwa yena ngokwakhe ungamthinti.” USathane wasesuka phambi kukaThixo.
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị zara ekwensu sị ya, “Lee Job, jiri niile o nwere mee ihe ọbụla ị chọrọ, kama emetụkwala ndụ ya aka.” Emesịa, ekwensu sitere nʼihu Onyenwe anyị pụọ.
13 Ngelinye ilanga amadodana kaJobe lamadodakazi akhe ayezitika ngokudla, enatha iwayini endlini yomnewabo omdala,

20 Ekuzwa lokho uJobe wasukuma wadabula isembatho sakhe, waphuca ikhanda lakhe. Wazilahla phansi wakhonza
Mgbe Job nụrụ ihe ndị a, o sitere nʼebe ọ nọ bilie ọtọ, dọwaa uwe ya, kpụchaa agịrị isi ya, ọ dara nʼala ma kpọọ isiala,
21 wathi: “Ngaphuma ngize esiswini sikamama, njalo ngizasuka ngize. UThixo wapha njalo usethethe; kalidunyiswe ibizo likaThixo.”
kwuo sị: “Ọtọ ka m gba mgbe m si nʼafọ nne m pụta nʼọnọdụ ịgba ọtọ ka m ga-eji laghachikwa. Onyenwe anyị nyere ihe niile, Onyenwe anyị ewerekwala ihe niile, ka aha Onyenwe anyị bụrụ ihe a gọziri agọzi.”
22 Phakathi kwakho konke lokhu uJobe kazange enze isono ngokubeka umlandu wokuthi athi uNkulunkulu wonile.
Nʼime ihe ndị a niile, Job emehieghị site nʼibo Chineke ebubo ime ihe ọjọọ.
