Job 42
1 Then Job answered the Lord, and said:
UJobe waseyiphendula iNkosi wathi:
2 I know that thou canst do all things, and no thought is hid from thee.
Ngiyazi ukuthi ungakwenza konke, lokuthi kakulacebo elingavinjelwa kuwe.
3 Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have spoken unwisely, and things that above measure exceeded my knowledge.
Ngubani lo ofiphaza iseluleko engelalwazi? Ngakho ngikhulumile lokho ebengingakuqedisisi, izinto ezimangalisayo kakhulu kimi, ebengingazazi.
4 Hear, and I will speak: I will ask thee, and do thou tell me.
Ake uzwe, ngizakhuluma mina. Ngizakubuza, njalo wenze ngazi.
5 With the hearing of the ear, I have heard thee, but now my eye seeth thee.
Ngokuzwa kwendlebe ngikuzwile, kodwa khathesi ilihlo lami liyakubona.
6 Therefore I reprehend myself, and do penance in dust and ashes.
Ngakho-ke ngiyazinenga, ngiyaphenduka ethulini lemlotheni.
7 And after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Themanite: My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends, because you have not spoken the thing that is right before my, as my servant Job hath.
Kwasekusithi iNkosi isikhulume lamazwi kuJobe, iNkosi yathi kuElifazi umThemani: Ulaka lwami luyavutha kuwe lakubangane bakho ababili, ngoba kalikhulumanga ngami okuqondileyo njengenceku yami uJobe.
8 Take unto you therefore seven oxen, and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer for yourselves a holocaust: and my servant Job shall pray for you: his face I will accept, that folly be not imputed to you: for you have not spoken right things before me, as my servant Job hath.
Ngakho-ke zithatheleni amajongosi ayisikhombisa lenqama eziyisikhombisa, liye encekwini yami uJobe, lizinikelele umnikelo wokutshiswa, njalo uJobe inceku yami uzalikhulekela; ngoba isibili ngizakwemukela ubuso bakhe, ukuze ngingenzi kini njengobuthutha benu; ngoba kalikhulumanga ngami okuqondileyo njengenceku yami uJobe.
9 So Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Sophar the Naamathite went, and did as the Lord had spoken to them, and the Lord accepted the face of Job.
Ngakho bahamba oElifazi umThemani loBilidadi umShuhi loZofari umNahama, benza njengokutsho kweNkosi kubo; njalo iNkosi yemukela ubuso bukaJobe.
10 The Lord also was turned at the penance of Job, when he prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.
INkosi yasiphendula ukuthunjwa kukaJobe esekhulekele abangane bakhe; njalo iNkosi yengezelela konke uJobe ayelakho kuze kuphindwe kabili.
11 And all his brethren came to him, and all his sisters, and all that knew him before, and they ate bread with him in his house: and bemoaned him, and comforted him upon all the evil that God had brought upon him. And every man gave him one ewe, and one earring of fold.
Kwasekufika kuye bonke abafowabo labo bonke odadewabo, labo bonke ababemazi mandulo, badla isinkwa laye endlini yakhe, bamkhalela, bamduduza ngakho konke okubi iNkosi eyayimehlisele khona; bamnika ngulowo lalowo uhlamvu lwemali, langulowo lalowo isongo legolide.
12 And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
INkosi yasibusisa isiphetho sikaJobe okwedlula ukuqala kwakhe; ngoba waba lezimvu ezizinkulungwane ezilitshumi lane, lamakamela azinkulungwane eziyisithupha, lezipane zenkabi eziyinkulungwane, labobabhemi abasikazi abayinkulungwane.
13 And he had seven sons, and three daughters.
Wasesiba lamadodana ayisikhombisa lamadodakazi amathathu.
14 And he called the names of one Dies, and the name of the second Cassia, and the name of the third Cornustibil.
Wasebiza ibizo leyokuqala wathi nguJemima, lebizo leyesibili wathi nguKeziya, lebizo leyesithathu wathi nguKereni-Hapuki.
15 And there were not found in all the earth women so beautiful as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
Njalo kakutholakalanga abesifazana abahle njengamadodakazi kaJobe elizweni lonke; loyise wawanika ilifa phakathi kwabanewabo.
16 And Job lived after these things, a hundred and forty years, and he saw his children, and his children’s children, unto the fourth generation,
Lemva kwalokho uJobe waphila iminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amane; wabona amadodana akhe, lamadodana amadodana akhe, kwaze kwaba yizizukulwana ezine.
17 and he died an old man, and full of days.
UJobe wasesifa, emdala, enele ngezinsuku.
