< Yobu 42 >

1 Awo Yobu n’addamu Mukama nti,
Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
2 “Mmanyi ng’oyinza okukola ebintu byonna, era tewali kyotegeka kyonna kiyinza kuziyizibwa.
I know that thou canst do every [thing], and [that] no thought can be withholden from thee.
3 Wabuuza nti, ‘Ani ono aziyiza okuteesa kwange atalina magezi?’ Mazima ddala nayogera ebintu bye sitegeera, ebintu ebyassukirira okutegeera kwange.
Who [is] he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4 “Wulira nkwegayiridde, nange mbeeko kye nkubuuza, onziremu.
Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
5 Amatu gange gaali gaakuwulirako dda, naye kaakano amaaso gange gakulabye.
I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
6 Kyenvudde neenyooma era neenenyezza mu nfuufu ne mu vvu.”
Wherefore I abhor [myself], and repent in dust and ashes.
7 Nga Mukama amaze okwogera ebigambo bino eri Yobu, n’agamba Erifaazi Omutemani nti, “Nkunyiigidde ggwe ne mikwano gyo ababiri; kubanga temwanjogerako bituufu, ng’omuddu wange Yobu bw’akoze.
And it was [so], that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me [the thing that is] right, as my servant Job [hath].
8 Noolwekyo kaakano mutwale ente ennume musanvu, n’endiga ennume musanvu, mugende eri omuddu wange Yobu, mweweereyo eyo ekiweebwayo ekyokebwa, n’omuddu wange Yobu ajja kubasabira, kubanga nzija kukkiriza okusaba kwe nneme okubakolako ng’obusirusiru bwammwe bwe buli. Kubanga temwanjogerako bituufu ng’omuddu wange bw’akoze.”
Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you [after your] folly, in that ye have not spoken of me [the thing which is] right, like my servant Job.
9 Awo Erifaazi Omutemani, ne Birudaadi Omusuki, ne Zofali Omunaamasi ne bagenda ne bakola nga Mukama bwe yabalagira. Awo Mukama n’akkiriza okusaba kwa Yobu.
So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite [and] Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.
10 Awo Mukama n’aggyawo ennaku ya Yobu bwe yamala okusabira mikwano gye. Mukama n’awa Yobu ebintu emirundi ebiri okusinga bye yalina okusooka.
And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11 Awo baganda be bonna ne bannyina bonna ne bajja n’abo abaali bamumanyi okusooka, ne balya naye emmere mu nnyumba ye; ne bamusaasira ne bamukulisa okubonaabona kwonna Mukama kwe yakkiriza okumutuukako. Buli omu ku bo n’amuwaayo ffeeza nga bwe yasobola, n’empeta ya zaabu.
Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
12 Awo Mukama n’awa Yobu omukisa mu nnaku ze ezaasembayo n’okusinga entandikwa ye bwe yali: yafuna endiga omutwalo gumu mu enkumi nnya, n’eŋŋamira kakaaga, ne ziseddume z’ente lukumi, n’endogoyi enkazi lukumi.
So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
13 Era Mukama n’amuwa n’abaana aboobulenzi musanvu, n’aboobuwala basatu.
He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14 Omuwala ow’olubereberye n’amutuuma Yemima, n’owokubiri n’amutuuma Keeziya, n’owookusatu n’amutuuma Keremukappuki, n’aboobulezi musanvu.
And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
15 Awo mu nsi yonna ne wataba bakazi balungi kwenkana bawala ba Yobu. Kitaabwe n’abawa omugabo ogw’ebintu ogwenkanankana ne gwe yawa bannyinaabwe abalenzi.
And in all the land were no women found [so] fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
16 Oluvannyuma lw’ebyo, Yobu n’awangaala emyaka kikumi mu ana; n’alaba ku baana be ne ku bazzukulu be okutuuka ku bannakasatwe.
After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, [even] four generations.
17 N’oluvannyuma n’afa ng’akaddiyidde ddala ng’awezezza emyaka mingi.
So Job died, [being] old and full of days.
