Yoba
42 Penepo Yoba walondolola Yehova kanena’mba:
2 “Pano nayuka’mba abe ubwanya kulonga bintu byonso
Ne amba i kutupu kintu kyolanga kulonga kekibwanikapo kodi.+
3 Abe wanenene amba, ‘Le i ani uno ufītyija madingi ami pampikwa buyuki?’+
O mwanda nesambile, ino pampikwa kwivwanija
Myanda ya bintu bya kutendelwa bininge kondi, byonkiyukilepo.+
4 Wanenene amba, ‘Ngivwane’po bidi, nami nsa kwisamba.
Nsa kukwipangula, nobe unombole.’+
5 Matwi ami aivwene myanda yobe,
Ino pano nakumone na meso ami.
7 Yehova pa kupwa kunena Yoba bino binenwa, Yehova wanena Edifaza mwine Temani amba:
“Bulobo bwami bubakudyendyemukila abe ne balunda nobe+ babidi, mwanda kemwesambilepo bya bine pondi+ pamo bwa mwingidi wami Yoba. 8 Pano yatai bañombe basamba-babidi ne mikōko milume isamba-ibidi, mwende kudi mwingidi wami Yoba, mulambule bitapwa bisōkwe byenu. Kadi mwingidi wami Yoba ukalombela pa mwanda wenu.+ Bine, nketabija kulomba kwandi* pa kubulwa kutala bulembakane bwenu, mwanda kemwesambilepo bya bine pamo bwa mwingidi wami Yoba.”
9 Penepo Edifaza mwine Temani, Biledade mwine Shuha, ne Zofala mwine Nama baenda, balonga byebalombwele Yehova kulonga. Ebiya Yehova waitabija milombelo ya Yoba.
10 Yoba pa kupwa kulombela pa mwanda wa balunda nandi,+ Yehova watalula byamalwa+ bya Yoba ne kumujokejeja bupeta bwandi.* Yehova wamupa pabidi bintu byaadi nabyo dibajinji.+ 11 Banababo bonso bana-balume ne bana-bakaji ne balunda+ nandi bonso ba pa kala baiya kwadi kebadi nandi byakudya mu njibo yandi. Bakamumona ne kumusenga mwanda wa byamalwa byonso byalekele Yehova bimuponene. Muntu ne muntu wamupa kibese kya lupeto ne luzenze lwa olo.
12 Penepo Yehova waesela mfulo ya būmi bwa Yoba kupita ne ku ñanjilo kwine,+ Yoba waikala na mikōko 14 000, bangamedia 6 000, bañombe 2 000* ne bampunda bakaji 1 000.+ 13 Kadi wabutula bana bakwabo basamba-babidi bana-balume ne bana bakwabo basatu bana-bakaji.+ 14 Wainika mwana-mukaji umbajinji bu Yemima, wa bubidi bu Kezia, wa busatu nandi bu Kelene-Hapuke. 15 I kutupu bana-bakaji mu ntanda’ya badi bayampe mpala pamo bwa bana ba Yoba bana-bakaji, kadi shabo webapele bupyani pamo na banababo bana-balume.
16 Kupwa papo Yoba walāla myaka 140, wamona bandi bana ne bandi bankana—nkongo iná. 17 Ku mfulo Yoba wafwa, kupwa kwa būmi bulampe kadi bwa nsangaji.*
