Hagi anante Jopu'a amanage huno Ra Anumzamofona kenona hunte'ne,
2 Ngiyazi ukuthi ungakwenza konke, lokuthi kakulacebo elingavinjelwa kuwe.

3 Ngubani lo ofiphaza iseluleko engelalwazi? Ngakho ngikhulumile lokho ebengingakuqedisisi, izinto ezimangalisayo kakhulu kimi, ebengingazazi.
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.
4 Ake uzwe, ngizakhuluma mina. Ngizakubuza, njalo wenze ngazi.
Anumzamoka hunka, Jopuga kagesa naminege'na keaga nehu'na, mago'a kagenoka hugahuanki kenirera nona hunanto hunka hu'nane.
5 Ngokuzwa kwendlebe ngikuzwile, kodwa khathesi ilihlo lami liyakubona.
Kora vahe'mo'za kagri kagenkea nehazage'na antahi'noe. Hianagi menina nagra'a navufinti kagoe.
6 Ngakho-ke ngiyazinenga, ngiyaphenduka ethulini lemlotheni.
Maka nanekema hu'noana ete erue. Ana nehu'na menina nasunku'ma huazana ama tanefapine kugusopafi mani'ne'na erinte ama hue.
7 Kwasekusithi iNkosi isikhulume lamazwi kuJobe, iNkosi yathi kuElifazi umThemani: Ulaka lwami luyavutha kuwe lakubangane bakho ababili, ngoba kalikhulumanga ngami okuqondileyo njengenceku yami uJobe.
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.
8 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.
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.
9 Ngakho bahamba oElifazi umThemani loBilidadi umShuhi loZofari umNahama, benza njengokutsho kweNkosi kubo; njalo iNkosi yemukela ubuso bukaJobe.
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.
10 INkosi yasiphendula ukuthunjwa kukaJobe esekhulekele abangane bakhe; njalo iNkosi yengezelela konke uJobe ayelakho kuze kuphindwe kabili.
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.
11 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.
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.
12 INkosi yasibusisa isiphetho sikaJobe okwedlula ukuqala kwakhe; ngoba waba lezimvu ezizinkulungwane ezilitshumi lane, lamakamela azinkulungwane eziyisithupha, lezipane zenkabi eziyinkulungwane, labobabhemi abasikazi abayinkulungwane.
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.
13 Wasesiba lamadodana ayisikhombisa lamadodakazi amathathu.
Ana nehuno Ra Anumzamo'a ru'ene Jopuma ami'neana, 7ni'a ne' mofavre nemino, 3'a mofa'ne ami'ne.
14 Wasebiza ibizo leyokuqala wathi nguJemima, lebizo leyesibili wathi nguKeziya, lebizo leyesithathu wathi nguKereni-Hapuki.
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.
15 Njalo kakutholakalanga abesifazana abahle njengamadodakazi kaJobe elizweni lonke; loyise wawanika ilifa phakathi kwabanewabo.
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.
16 Lemva kwalokho uJobe waphila iminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amane; wabona amadodana akhe, lamadodana amadodana akhe, kwaze kwaba yizizukulwana ezine.
Ana'ma huteno'a Jopu'a 140'a kafu mani'neno, agehone agigone azankonena ke'ne.
17 UJobe wasesifa, emdala, enele ngezinsuku.
Ana'ma huteno'a Jopu'a knare'za huno za'zate maniteno, ozafa reno fri'ne.
