UJobe 1
1 Kwakukhona indoda elizweni leUzi, ibizo layo lalinguJobe. Leyondoda yayiphelele-ke, iqondile, imesaba uNkulunkulu, ixwaya okubi.
HE kanaka ma ka aina o Uza, o Ioba kona inoa, ua pono, ua pololei hoi ua kanaka la, a ua makau no ia i ke Akua, a hoopale i ka hewa.
2 Yasizalelwa amadodana ayisikhombisa lamadodakazi amathathu.
Ua hanauia nana ehiku mau keikikane, a me na kaikamahine ekolu.
3 Lemfuyo yayo yayiyizimvu eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa, lamakamela ayizinkulungwane ezintathu, lezipane zenkabi ezingamakhulu amahlanu, labobabhemi abasikazi abangamakhulu amahlanu, lenceku ezinengi kakhulu. Ngakho lowomuntu wayemkhulu okwedlula bonke abantu bempumalanga.
O kana waiwai, ehiku tausani hipa me na kao, ekolu tausani kamelo, elima haneri bipikaulua a elima haneri hoki wahine, a he nui loa kona poe ohua; nolaila, ua oi aku ke koikoi o keia kanaka mamua o na kanaka a pau o ka hikina.
4 Njalo amadodana akhe ahamba enza idili endlini yaleyo laleyo ngosuku lwayo; athuma abiza odadewabo abathathu ukuze badle banathe lawo.
A hele aku la kana mau keikikane, a ahaaina iho la ma ka hale, o kela mea keia mea o lakou i kona la; a hoouna aku la, a hea aku i ko lakou mau kaikuwahine ekolu, e ai pu a e inu pu me lakou.
5 Kwakusithi lapho esephelile amazopha ensuku zedili, uJobe athume, awangcwelise, avuke ekuseni kakhulu, anikele iminikelo yokutshiswa ngokwenani lawo wonke, ngoba uJobe wathi: Mhlawumbe amadodana ami onile, amthuka uNkulunkulu enhliziyweni yawo. Wenza njalo uJobe zonke izinsuku.
A i ka manawa i hala ae ai na la o ka ahaaina ana, hoouna aku la o Ioba a hoomaemae ia lakou, a ala ae la i kakahiaka nui, a kaumaha aku la i na mohaikuni e like me ka nui o lakou a pau; no ka mea, i iho la o Ioba, Malia paha ua hana hewa ka'u mau keikikane, a ua olelo hoino i ke Akua ma ko lakou naau. Pela o Ioba i hana'i i na la a Pau.
6 Kwasekusiba losuku lapho amadodana kaNkulunkulu eza ukuzimisa phambi kweNkosi, loSathane laye wafika phakathi kwawo.
A i kekahi la, i ka manawa i hele ai na keiki a ke Akua e hoike aku ia lakou iho imua o Iehova, i hele mai hoi o Satana iwaena o lakou.
7 INkosi yasisithi kuSathane: Uvela ngaphi? USathane wasephendula iNkosi wathi: Ekuzulazuleni emhlabeni lekuhambahambeni kuwo.
A i mai la o Iehova ia Satana, Nohea oe i hele mai nei? olelo aku la o Satana ia Iehova, Mai ka auwana ana ma ka honua, a mai ka hele ana io ia nei malaila.
8 INkosi yasisithi kuSathane: Ubekile yini inhliziyo yakho encekwini yami uJobe, ngoba kakho onjengayo emhlabeni, umuntu opheleleyo loqondileyo, owesaba uNkulunkulu loxwaya ububi?
I mai la o Iehova ia Satana, Ua noonoo pono anei oe i ka'u kauwa ia Ioba, aohe mea like me ia ma ka honua, he kanaka pono me ka pololei, ua makau i ke Akua, a ua hookaaokoa i ka hewa.
9 USathane wasephendula iNkosi wathi: UJobe umesabela ize uNkulunkulu yini?
Alaila olelo aku la o Satana ia Iehova, i aku la, Ke makau kumu ole la anei o Ioba i ke Akua?
10 Kawumbiyelanga yini yena lendlu yakhe lakho konke alakho inhlangothi zonke? Ubusisile umsebenzi wezandla zakhe, lezifuyo zakhe zanda kakhulu elizweni.
Aole anei oe i hoopuni ia ia, a me kona hale a me kona mea a pau i ka pa ma na aoao a pau? Ua hoopomaikai oe i ka hana a kona mau lima, a mahuahua kona waiwai ma ka aina.
11 Kodwa isibili yelula isandla sakho khathesi, uthinte konke alakho; sibili uzakuthuka ebusweni bakho.
Aka, e kikoo aku ano i kou lima, a hoopa i kana mau mea a pau, a e hoino no kela ia oe imua o kou maka.
12 INkosi yasisithi kuSathane: Khangela konke alakho kusesandleni sakho; kuphela kuye ungeluleli isandla sakho. Wasephuma uSathane phambi kweNkosi.
Olelo mai la o Iehova ia Satana, Aia hoi, iloko o kou lima kana mau mea a pau; aka, maluna ona mai kau aku oe i kou lima. A hele aku la o Satana mai ke alo aku o Iehova.
13 Kwasekusiba losuku lapho amadodana lamadodakazi akhe ayesidla enatha iwayini endlini yomfowabo olizibulo.
A i kekahi la, i ka manawa o kana mau keikikane a me kana mau kaikamahine e ahaaina ana, a e inu waina ana iloko o ka hale o ko lakou hanau mua;
14 Kwasekufika isithunywa kuJobe sathi: Inkabi bezilima labobabhemi besidla emaceleni azo;
Hele mai kekahi elele io Ioba la, i mai la, O na bipikauo e hoopalau ana, a o na hoki wahine e ai ana ma ko lakou aoao;
15 kwasekutheleka amaShebha, akuthatha, atshaya izinceku ngobukhali benkemba, njalo yimi ngedwa kuphela engiphephileyo ukuze ngikubikele.
A popoi mai la ka poe Seba maluna o lakou, a lawe pio aku la i ia lakou; a pepehi iho la lakou i na kanaka opiopio me ka maka o ka pahikaua; a owau wale no ka i pakele e hai aku ia oe.
16 Lesi sisakhuluma, kwafika lesinye, sathi: Umlilo kaNkulunkulu uwile uvela emazulwini, watshisa izimvu lezinceku, waziqeda; njalo yimi ngedwa kuphela engiphephileyo ukuze ngikubikele.
A i kana kamailio ana, hele mai kekahi, i mai la, Ua lele mai ke ahi a ke Akua mai ka lani mai, a ua ai iho i na hipa a me na kahu, a ua hoopau ia lakou; a owau wale no ka i pakele e hai aku ia oe.
17 Lesi sisakhuluma, kwafika lesinye, sathi: AmaKhaladiya amise amaxuku amathathu atheleka phezu kwamakamela, awathatha, atshaya izinceku ngobukhali benkemba, njalo yimi ngedwa kuphela engiphephileyo ukuze ngikubikele.
A i kana kamailio ana, hele mai kekahi e ae, i mai la, Hoonohonoho iho la ka poe Kaledea i ekolu poe kaua, a lele mai lakou maluna o na kamelo, a lawe pio aku ia lakou, a pepehi iho la i na kauwa opiopio me ka maka o ka pahikaua; a owau wale no ka i pakele e hai aku ia oe.
18 Lesi sisakhuluma, kwafika lesinye, sathi: Amadodana akho lamadodakazi akho bebesidla benatha iwayini endlini yomfowabo, izibulo.
I kana kamailio ana, hele mai kekahi e ae, i mai la, O kau mau keikikane, a me kau mau kaikamahine, e ai ana a e inu waina ana iloko o ka hale o ko lakou hanau mua:
19 Khangela-ke, umoya omkhulu wafika uvela ngaphetsheya kwenkangala, watshaya amagumbi womane endlu, yawela phezu kwamajaha, afa; njalo yimi ngedwa kuphela engiphephileyo ukuze ngikubikele.
Aia hoi, hiki mai la ka makani ikaika mai ka aoao o ka waonahele mai, a nou mai ma na kihi eha o ka hale, a hina iho la ia maluna o na kanaka opiopio, a ua make lakou; a owau wale no ka i pakele e hai aku ia oe.
20 UJobe wasesukuma, wadabula ibhatshi lakhe, waphuca ikhanda lakhe, wawa emhlabathini, wakhonza;
Alaila ku ae la o Ioba, a baehae iho la i kona aahu, a ako i kona poo, a hina ilalo i ka honua, a hoomana aku la,
21 wasesithi: Ngaphuma ngize esiswini sikamama, njalo ngizabuyela khona ngize; iNkosi yapha, iNkosi ithethe; kalibusiswe ibizo leNkosi.
I iho la, I hele kohana mai no au mai ka opu mai o ko'u makuwahine, a e hoi kohana aku au ilaila: na Iehova i haawi mai, na Iehova hoi i lawe aku; e hoomaikaiia ka inoa o Iehova.
22 Kukho konke lokhu uJobe konanga, kambalelanga ubuwula uNkulunkulu.
Ma keia mea a pau, aole o Ioba i hana hewa, aole hoi ia i hooili wale aku i ka hewa i ke Akua.
