UJobe: Wayelungile futhi emesaba uNkulunkulu
1Kwakukhona umuntu ezweni lakithi ogama lakhe linguJobe; futhi lowo muntu wayephelele futhi elungile, futhi wayemesaba uNkulunkulu futhi ebalekela okubi.
2Wazalelwa amadodana ayisikhombisa namadodakazi amathathu.
3Impahla yakhe yayiyizinkomo eziyizinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa, namakamela ayizinkulungwane ezintathu, namabhangqa ezinkomo angamakhulu ayisihlanu, nezimbongolo ezingamakhulu amahlanu, nezinceku eziningi kakhulu; kangangokuthi lo muntu wayemkhulu kunabo bonke abantu basempumalanga.
4Amadodana akhe ayehamba enza idili endlini yawo, kwaba yilowo nalowo ngosuku lwayo; wathuma wabiza odadewabo abathathu ukuba badle, baphuze nabo.
5Kwathi seziphelile izinsuku zedili lawo, uJobe wathumela wawangcwelisa, wavuka ekuseni, wanikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa njengomumo wawo wonke; ngokuba uJobe wathi: “Kungenzeka ukuthi amadodana ami onile, amthukile uNkulunkulu ezinhliziyweni zawo; Ngakho uJobe waqhubeka enza kanjalo.
6Kwathi ngolunye usuku amadodana kaNkulunkulu eza ukuma phambi kukaJehova, noSathane wafika phakathi kwawo.
7UJehova wathi kuSathane: “Uvelaphi na?” USathane wayesemphendula uJehova, wathi: “Uhambahamba emhlabeni, nasemuva naphambili kuwo.
8UJehova wayesethi kuSathane: “Ingabe uyiqaphele inceku yami uJobe ukuthi akakho ofana naye emhlabeni, umuntu oqotho noqotho, owesaba uNkulunkulu futhi ogwema okubi?
9USathane wayesemphendula uJehova, wathi: “UJobe uyamesaba uNkulunkulu ngeze na?
10Kawunalo yini uthango nxazonke zakhe lendlu yakhe laphezu kwakho konke akwenzileyo inhlangothi zonke? Wawubusisa umsebenzi wezandla zakhe, nempahla yakhe yanda ezweni.
11Kepha manje yelula isandla sakho, uthinte konke anakho, uyakukuthuka ebusweni bakho.
12UJehova wayesethi kuSathane: “Bheka, konke anakho kusesandleni sakho; ungabeki isandla sakho kuye. USathane wayesesuka ebusweni bukaJehova.
13Kwathi ngolunye usuku amadodana akhe namadodakazi akhe edla, ephuza iwayini endlini yomfowabo omkhulu.
14Kwase kufika isithunywa kuJobe, sathi: “Izinkomo zazilima, nezimbongolo zaziklabile eceleni kwazo.”
15AmaSabeya azihlasela, azithatha; yebo, bazibulala izinceku ngosiko lwenkemba; mina ngedwa ngisindile, ukuze ngikubikele.
16Esakhuluma lowo, kwafika nomunye, wathi: “Umlilo kaNkulunkulu uwile ezulwini, washisa izimvu nezinceku, waziqeda; mina ngedwa ngisindile, ukuze ngikubikele.
17Esakhuluma lowo, kwafika nenye, yathi: “AmaKaledi akha amabutho amathathu, awela amakamela, awathumba, yebo, azibulala izinceku ngosiko lwenkemba; mina ngedwa ngisindile, ukuze ngikubikele.
18Esakhuluma lowo, kwafika nomunye, wathi: “Amadodana akho namadodakazi akho adle, anatha iwayini endlini yomfowabo omkhulu.”
19Bheka, kwafika umoya omkhulu ovela ehlane, washaya amagumbi omane endlu, yawela phezu kwezinsizwa, zafa; mina ngedwa ngisindile, ukuze ngikubikele.
20Khona-ke uJobe wasukuma waklebhula ingubo yakhe waphuca ikhanda lakhe wawela emhlabathini wakhuleka.
21Wathi: “Ngaphuma ngize esizalweni sikamame, futhi ngiyakubuyela khona ngize; uJehova wapha, uJehova wathatha; Malibongwe iGama leNKOSI.
22Kukho konke lokhu uJobe akonanga futhi akamthukanga uNkulunkulu ngobuwula.
