Yobe 42:1-17
42 Penepo Yobe atawira Yahova:
2 “Cincino ndisadziwa kuti musakwanisa kucita pinthu pyonsene,Pontho kuti pyonsene pinanyerezera imwe kucita nkhabepo cinafuna kucimwanika kuna imwe.+
3 Imwe mwalonga: ‘Mbani unoyu analonga mafala akusowa ndzeru toera kupokanya njira zanga zinacitira ine pinthu?’+
Mwandimomwene, ine ndalonga mwakusowa ndzeru,Thangwi ya pinthu pyakudzumisa kakamwe kuna ine, pyakuti ine nkhabe kupidziwa.+
4 Imwe mwalonga: ‘Ndaphata miyendo, bvesera, ine ndinalonga.
Ine ndinakubvundza, iwe unanditawira.’+
5 Ine ndabva kulonga pya imwe,Mbwenye cincino, ine ndisakuonani na maso anga.
6 Natenepa, ndisatsumbikika* thangwi ya pinthu pidalonga ine,+Mbandikhala pa pfumbi na pa dotha toera kupangiza kutcunyuka kwanga.”+
7 Pidamala Yahova kulonga mafala anewa kuna Yobe, Yahova apanga Elifaji wa ku Temani:
“Ine ndiri wakuipirwa na iwe pabodzi na axamwali ako awiri,+ thangwi imwe nee mwalonga undimomwene wa ine+ ninga pidacita ntumiki wanga Yobe.
8 Cincino kwatani ng’ombe zimuna zinomwe na mabira acimuna manomwe, ndokoni kuna ntumiki wanga Yobe, mbamupereka ntsembe yakupiswa thangwi ya imwe. Ntumiki wanga Yobe anadzacita phembero thangwi ya imwe.+ Mwakukhonda penula ine ndinabvesera phembero yace, mbandikhonda kukutsalakanani mwakubverana na kusowa kwanu ndzeru, thangwi imwe nee mwalonga undimomwene wa ine ninga pidacita ntumiki wanga Yobe.”
9 Natenepa, Elifaji wa ku Temani, Bhildhadhe wa ku Suwa na Zofari wa ku Nama aenda, mbacita pidapangwa iwo na Yahova. Pontho Yahova atawira phembero ya Yobe.
10 Pidamala Yobe kucitira phembero axamwali ace,+ Yahova amalisa nyatwa zace+ mbancitisa kukhala pontho na mpfuma. Yahova apasa Yobe pinthu pizinji kupiringana pikhali na iye pakutoma.+
11 Abale ace onsene amuna na akazi, pabodzi na axamwali ace onsene akale+ aenda kamuona mbadya pabodzi na iye panyumba pace. Iwo ambvera ntsisi mbam’balangaza thangwi ya nyatwa zonsene zidatawirisa Yahova toera zin’gwere. M’bodzi na m’bodzi wa iwo apasa Yobe kobiri na mphete ya ouro.
12 Natenepa, Yahova apasa nkhombo kakamwe Yobe kukhundu yakumalisa ya umaso wace kupiringana pakutoma,+ Yobe adzakhala na mabira 14.000, makamelo 6.000, ng’ombe zakukwana 1.000* na maburu acikazi akukwana 1.000.+
13 Iye adzakhala pontho na ana anomwe amuna na atatu akazi.+
14 Mwanace wakutoma wankazi ampasa dzina ya Jemima, waciwiri ampasa dzina ya Keziya, wacitatu ampasa dzina ya Kereni-Apuki.
15 Mu dziko ineyi yonsene, nee mukhali na akazi anango akubalika kakamwe ninga ana a Yobe, pontho pai wawo aapasa unthaka pabodzi na abale awo.
16 Buluka penepo, Yobe akhala na umaso mu pyaka 140, iye aona anace, adzukulu ace na ana a adzukulu ace.
17 Pakumalisa Yobe afa, pidamala iye kukhala na umaso wakutsandzayisa mu pyaka pizinji.
