O vha e munna a sa solisei, a tshi fulufhedzea, a tshi ofha Mudzimu, a sa funi u tshinya. 2O vha e na vhana vhaṱanu na vhavhili vha vhatuka na vhararu vha vhasidzana, 3e na nngu dza 7 000 na gamela dza 3 000 na kholomo dza 1 000 na donngi dza 500, a dovha a vha na vhashumi vhanzhi-vhanzhi; o vha o pfuma u fhira vhoṱhe vhe vha vha tshi dzula vhubvaḓuvha ha Kanana.
4Vhana vha Jobo vho vha vha tshi ḓi sielisana u ita vhuṱambo he vha vha vha tshi ṱangana vhoṱhe, vha ita na u vhidza khaladzi dzavho tharu, na vhone vha ḓa-vho. 5Ho vha hu tshi ri vhuṱambo ho no ṱanganya vhoṱhe, ḽi tshi tsha Jobo a fhinduwa a vhidza vhana vhawe a vha kumulula, a ṋekedza Mudzimu zwipfumelo a tshi itela vhana vhawe nga muthihi nga muthihi; o vha a tshi ri khamusi muṅwe wavho a nga kha ḓi vha o tshinya a sa zwi pfi, a sema Mudzimu. Yeneyo yo vha i nḓowelo yawe ya misi.
Saṱhane a sa tendi uri Jobo u funa Mudzimu nga mbilu yoṱhe
6 Musi ḓuvha ḽi tshi swika ḽine magota a Mudzimu a fanela u ḓa khoroni ya Muṋe washu, na Saṱhane a vha e henefho vhukati havho. 7Muṋe washu a mu vhudzisa a ri, “Wo vha u tshi khou itani?” Saṱhane a fhindula a ri, “Ndo vha ndi tshi khou tendeleka ndi tshi mona-mona na ḽifhasi.” 8 Muṋe washu a vhudzisa a ri, “Wo vhuya wa vhona mulanda wanga Jobo? A hu na na muthihi shangoni ane a nga ene, ha solisei, ha na vhufhura, u ofha Mudzimu, ha funi u tshinya.”
9 Saṱhane a fhindula a ri, “Jobo o vha a tshi nga u luvha hu si na tshine wa mu itela naa? 10 Hufha u tshi dzula wo mu tsireledza na muṱa wawe na zwoṱhe zwine a vha nazwo. U shudufhadza zwoṱhe zwine a ita; thakha yawe yo ḓala shango ḽoṱhe. 11Edzou lozwa zwoṱhe zwine a vha nazwo; ngoho u ḓo vhona a tshi u sema a sa dzumbi!”
12Muṋe washu a vhudza Saṱhane a ri, “Ndi zwone, zwine a vha nazwo zwi zwanḓani zwau, tenda ene Jobo wa si mu huvhadze.” Ndi hone Saṱhane a tshi ṱuwa.
Hu tshi lozwiwa vhana vha Jobo na thakha yawe
13Muṅwe musi vhana vha Jobo vho vha vhe vhuṱamboni muṱani wa mukomana wavho wa tanzhe. 14Ha mbo ḓi ḓa muḓinḓa ha Jobo a ri, “Ro vha ri tshi khou lima nga phulu, donngi dzi mafuloni a tsini. 15 Kathihi fhedzi Vhasabia vha mbo ḓi dzi wela vha dzi thuba dzoṱhe, vha vhulaha vhashumi vhavho vhoṱhe ha sala nṋe fhedzi. Ndi nṋe ndi ndoṱhe we nda ponyoka uri ndi ḓe ndi vha vhudze.”
16A sa athu fhedza u amba ha ḓa muṅwe mushumi a ri, “Nḓadzi yo rwa ya vhulaha nngu dzoṱhe na vhalisa vhoṱhe! Ndi nṋe ndi ndoṱhe we nda ponyoka uri ndi ḓe ndi vha vhudze.”
17A sa athu fhedza u amba ha ḓa muṅwe mushumi a ri, “Ro welwa nga zwigwada zwiraru zwa Vhakhaladia, vha thuba dzigamela, vha vhulaha vhashumi vhavho vhoṱhe, ha sala nṋe fhedzi. Ndi nṋe ndi ndoṱhe we nda ponyoka uri ndi ḓe ndi vha vhudze.”
18A sa athu fhedza u amba ha ḓa muṅwe mushumi a ri, “Vhana vhavho vho vha vhe vhuṱamboni muṱani wa tanzhe ḽavho ḽa mutuka, 19ha ḓa ḓumbu ḽi tshi vhudzula ḽi tshi bva phangani, ḽa mbo ḓi wisa nnḓu ya vha vhulaha vhoṱhe. Ndi nṋe ndi ndoṱhe we nda ponyoka uri ndi ḓe ndi vha vhudze.”
20 Ndi hone Jobo a tshi takuwa a kherukanya zwiambaro zwawe nga u pfa vhuṱungu, a vheula ṱhoho, a ḓiposa fhasi nga tshifhaṱuwo, 21 a ri,
“Ndo bva muvhilini wa mme anga ndi fhedzi,
ndi ḓo huma ndi fhedzi.
Muṋe washu o ṋea,
Muṋe washu o dzhia –
Muṋe washu nga a rendiwe!”
22 Naho Jobo o vha o welwa nga khombo dzoṱhe hedzo, ho ngo tshinya, ho ngo gungulela Mudzimu.
