UJobe 2

¹ Kwathi ngolunye usuku lapho amadodana kaNkulunkulu efika ukuma phambi kukaJehova, noSathane wafika phakathi kwawo ukuba ame phambi kukaJehova.

² UJehova wayesethi kuSathane: “Uvelaphi na? USathane wamphendula uJehova, wathi: “Uhambahamba emhlabeni nasemuva naphambili kuwo.

³ UJehova wathi kuSathane: “Ingabe uyiqaphele inceku yami uJobe ukuthi akakho ofana naye emhlabeni, umuntu oqotho noqotho, owesaba uNkulunkulu futhi ogwema okubi? futhi usagcina ubuqotho bakhe, noma ungivusele kuye ukuba ngimchithe ngeze.

⁴ USathane wamphendula uJehova, wathi: Isikhumba ngesikhumba, yebo, konke umuntu anakho uyakunika ngokuphila kwakhe.

⁵ Kepha manje yelula isandla sakho, uthinte emathanjeni akhe nasenyameni yakhe, uyakukuthuka ebusweni bakho.

⁶ Wayesethi uJehova kuSathane: “Bheka, usesandleni sakho; kodwa usindise impilo yakhe.

⁷ USathane wayesesuka ebusweni bukaJehova, wamshaya uJobe ngamathumba, kusukela ematheni ezinyawo zakhe kuze kufike okhakhayini.

⁸ Wasethatha isitsha sobumba ukuze azinwaye ngaso; wahlala phansi emlotheni.

⁹ Umkakhe wasesithi kuye: Usagcina ubuqotho bakho yini? thuka uNkulunkulu, ufe.

¹⁰ Kepha wathi kuye: “Ukhuluma njengokukhuluma kwabesifazane abayiziwula.” Ini? siyakwamukela okuhle esandleni sikaNkulunkulu, singamukeli okubi na? Kukho konke lokhu uJobe akonanga ngomlomo wakhe.

¹¹ Kwathi abangane bakaJobe abathathu bezwa ngakho konke lokhu okubi okumehleleyo, bafika, kwaba yilowo nalowo endaweni yakhe; uElifazi umThemani, noBhilidadi umShuhi, noSofari umNahama; ngoba benza isivumelwano sokudabuka kanye lokumduduza.

¹² Lapho bephakamisa amehlo abo bekude, bengamazi, baphakamisa izwi labo, bakhala; baklebhula, kwaba yilowo nalowo ingubo yakhe, bafafaza ngothuli emakhanda abo ezulwini.

¹³ Bahlala phansi naye izinsuku eziyisikhombisa nobusuku obuyisikhombisa, akwabakho owakhuluma naye, ngokuba babona ukuthi usizi lwakhe lwalulukhulu kakhulu.
