Jobe 42:1-17
42 Jobe wabese uphendvula Jehova utsi:
2 “Nyalo sengiyati kutsi uyakhona kwenta tonkhe tintfoNekutsi kute locabanga kukwenta lokungakwehlula.+
3 Utsite: ‘Ngubani lona lowenta kutsi seluleko sami singalalelwa abe angati lutfo?’+
Ngako ngikhulumile, kodvwa bengingacondziNgakhuluma ngetintfo letimangalisa kakhulu, nami lengingatati.+
4 Utsite: ‘Ngicela ulalele, mine ngitawukhuluma.
Ngitakubuta, wena ungiphendvule.’+
5 Tindlebe tami tivile ngawe,Kodvwa nyalo sengiyakubona ngemehlo ami.
6 Kungako ngikuhocisa loko lengikushito,*+Futsi ngiphendvuka ngiselutfulini nasemlotseni.”+
7 Ngemuva kwekutsi Jehova akhulume lamavi kuJobe, Jehova watsi ku-Elifazi umThemani:
“Wena nalabangani+ bakho lababili nginitfukutselele kakhulu, ngobe anikalikhulumi liciniso ngami+ njengobe kwente inceku yami Jobe.
8 Nyalo tsatsani tinkunzi letingu-7 netimvu letindvuna letingu-7 niye encekwini yami Jobe, nifike nente umhlatjelo wekushiswa ngenca yalesono lenisentile. Inceku yami Jobe itawubese iyanithantazela.+ Nakanjani ngitasemukela sicelo sakhe* sekutsi nginganiphatsi njengalokufanele bulima benu, ngobe anikalikhulumi liciniso ngami njengobe kwente inceku yami Jobe.”
9 Ngako Elifazi umThemani, Bildadi umShuwa naSofari umNama bahamba benta loko Jehova labatjele kutsi bakwente, futsi Jehova wawemukela umthantazo waJobe.
10 Ngemuva kwekutsi Jobe sekathantazele bangani bakhe,+ Jehova wakususa kuhlupheka+ kwaJobe futsi wamenta waphindze wanjinga.* Jehova wamnika ngalokuphindvwe kabili kulabekanako.+
11 Bonkhe bomnakabo, bodzadzewakhe kanye nabo bonkhe lebebabangani+ bakhe baya kuye futsi badla naye endlini yakhe. Bavelana naye futsi bamdvudvuta ngenca yako konkhe lokuhlupheka Jehova lebekakuvumele kutsi kumehlele. Ngamunye wabo wamnika inhlavu yemali kanye nendandatho yeligolide.
12 Ngako Jehova wakubusisa kuphila kwaJobe kwakamuva kwendlula kwasekucaleni,+ futsi Jobe waba netimvu letingu-14 000, emakamela langu-6 000, tinkhomo letingu-2 000* kanye netimbongolo letinsikati letingu-1 000.+
13 Waphindze waba nalamanye emadvodzana langu-7 kanye nemadvodzakati lamatsatfu.+
14 Indvodzakati yakhe yekucala wayetsa ngekutsi nguJemima, yesibili watsi nguKhesiya futsi yesitsatfu watsi nguKhereni-haphukhi.
15 Kulo lonkhe lelive kute intfombi lebeyiyinhle njengemadvodzakati aJobe, futsi babe wawo wawanika lifa, wona kanye nabomnakabo.
16 Emvakwaloko, Jobe wabese uphila iminyaka lengu-140, futsi wabona bantfwabakhe kanye nebatukulu bakhe, kwaze kwaba situkulwane sesine.
17 Ekugcineni Jobe wafa ngemuva kwesikhatsi lesidze, futsi sekanetisekile ngekuphila.*
