Job's Reply
1 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
Ndipo Ayubu akamjibu Bwana, na kusema.
2 I know that thou canst do every thing ,
And that no thought can be withholden from thee.
Najua ya kuwa waweza kufanya mambo yote, Na ya kuwa makusudi yako hayawezi kuzuilika.
3 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.
Ni nani huyu afichaye mashauri bila maarifa? Kwa maana, nimesema maneno nisiyoyafahamu, Mambo ya ajabu ya kunishinda mimi, nisiyoyajua.
4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak:
I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
Sikiliza, nakusihi, nami nitanena; Nitakuuliza neno, nawe niambie.
5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear:
But now mine eye seeth thee.
Nilikuwa nimesikia habari zako, kwa kusikia kwa masikio; Bali sasa jicho langu linakuona.
6 Wherefore I abhor myself , and repent
In dust and ashes.
Kwa sababu hiyo najichukia nafsi yangu, na kutubu Katika mavumbi na majivu.
The Epilogue
7 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 .
Basi ikawa, baada ya Bwana kumwambia Ayubu maneno hayo, Bwana akamwambia huyo Elifazi Mtemani, Hasira zangu zinawaka juu yako, na juu ya hao rafiki zako wawili; kwa kuwa ninyi hamkunena yaliyo sawa katika habari zangu, kama alivyonena mtumishi wangu Ayubu.
8 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.
Basi sasa, jitwalieni ng'ombe waume saba, na kondoo waume saba, mkamwendee mtumishi wangu Ayubu, mjisongezee sadaka ya kuteketezwa; na huyo mtumishi wangu Ayubu atawaombea ninyi; kwa kuwa nitamridhia yeye, nisiwatende sawasawa na upumbavu wenu; kwani ninyi hamkunena maneno yaliyonyoka katika habari zangu, kama alivyonena mtumishi wangu Ayubu.
9 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.
Basi Elifazi, Mtemani, na Bildadi, Mshuhi, na Sofari, Mnaamathi, wakaenda, wakafanya kama vile Bwana alivyowaamuru; naye Bwana akamridhia Ayubu.
10 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.
Kisha Bwana akaugeuza uteka wa Ayubu, hapo alipowaombea rafiki zake; Bwana naye akampa Ayubu mara mbili kuliko hayo aliyokuwa nayo kwanza.
11 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.
Ndipo wakamwendea nduguze wote, waume kwa wake, nao wote waliojuana naye hapo zamani, wakala chakula pamoja naye katika nyumba yake; nao wakamlilia na kumtuza moyo katika habari za huo uovu wote Bwana aliouleta juu yake; kila mtu akampa kipande cha fedha, na pete ya dhahabu kila mmoja.
12 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.
Basi hivyo Bwana akaubarikia huo mwisho wa Ayubu zaidi ya mwanzo wake; naye alikuwa na kondoo kumi na nne elfu, na ngamia elfu sita, na jozi za ng'ombe elfu, na punda wake elfu.
13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
Tena alikuwa na wana waume saba, na binti watatu.
14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
Akamwita huyo wa kwanza jina lake Yemima; na wa pili akamwita jina lake Kesia; na wa tatu akamwita jina lake Keren-hapuhu.
15 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.
Katika nchi hiyo yote hawakuwapo wanawake waliokuwa wazuri kama hao wana wa Ayubu; na baba yao akawapa urithi kati ya ndugu zao wana waume.
16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
Kisha baada ya mambo hayo Ayubu akaishi miaka mia na arobaini, naye akawaona wanawe, na wana wa wanawe, hata vizazi vinne.
17 So Job died, being old and full of days.
Basi Ayubu akafa, mzee sana mwenye kujawa na siku.
