¹Ipapo Jobho akapindura Jehovha, akati,

¹And Job answereth Jehovah and saith: —

²Ndinoziva kuti imwi munogona kuita zvose, Uye kuti hakuna chamunovavarira chingadziviswa.

²Thou hast known that [for] all things Thou art able, And not withheld from Thee is [any] device:

³Ndianiko uyu anodzikatira zano raMwari asine zivo? Naizvozvo ndakataura zvandakanga ndisinganzwisisi, Zvinhu zvakandishamisa kwazvo, zvandakanga ndisingazivi.

³`Who [is] this, hiding counsel without knowledge?` Therefore, I have declared, and understand not, Too wonderful for me, and I know not.

⁴Chidonzwai henyu, nditaure ini, Ndichakubvunzai, imwi mundidudzire.

⁴`Hear, I pray thee, and I — I do speak, I ask thee, and cause thou me to know.`

⁵Ndakanga ndanzwa zvenyu nokunzwa kwenzeve; Asi zvino ziso rangu rinokuonai,

⁵By the hearing of the ear I heard Thee, And now mine eye hath seen Thee.

⁶Saka ndinozvisema, nokuzvidemba Muguruva namadota.

⁶Therefore do I loathe [it], And I have repented on dust and ashes.

⁷Zvino Jehovha akati ataura mashoko iwayo kuna Jobho, Jehovha akati kuna Erifazi muTemani, Ndakatsamwira kwazvo iwe neshamwari dzako mbiri, nekuti imwi hamuna kutaura zvakarurama pamusoro pangu sezvakaita muranda wangu Jobho.

⁷And it cometh to pass after Jehovah`s speaking these words unto Job, that Jehovah saith unto Eliphaz the Temanite, `Burned hath Mine anger against thee, and against thy two friends, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job.

⁸Naizvozvo zvino chitorai nzombe nomwe namakondobwe namanomwe, muende kumuranda wangu Jobho, muzvipisire chipiriso chinopiswa; zvino muranda wangu Jobho achakunyengetererai; nekuti ndichamugamuchira iye, kuti ndirege kukuitirai zvakaenzana nohupenzi bwenyu; nekuti imwi hamuna kutaura pamusoro pangu zakarurama, sezvakaita muranda wangu Jobho.

⁸And now, take to you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go ye unto My servant Job, and ye have caused a burnt-offering to ascend for you; and Job My servant doth pray for you, for surely his face I accept, so as not to do with you folly, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job.

⁹Zvino Erifazi muTemani, naBhiridhadhi muShuhi, naZofari muNaamati, vakandoita sezvakarairwa naJehovha, Jehovha akagamuchira Jobho.

⁹And they go — Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, Zophar the Naamathite — and do as Jehovah hath spoken unto them; and Jehovah doth accept the face of Job.

¹⁰Jehovha akashandura kutapwa kwaJobho nguva yaakanyengeterera shamwari dzake; Jehovha akapa Jobho zvaakanga anazvo pakutanga kaviri.

¹⁰And Jehovah hath turned [to] the captivity of Job in his praying for his friends, and Jehovah doth add [to] all that Job hath — to double.

¹¹Ipapo vanin'ina vake vose, nehanzvadzi dzake dzose, navazikani vake vose vaimuziva kare vakauya kwaari, vakadya zvokudya mumba make; vakamudemba nokumunyaradza pamusoro pezvakaipa zvose zvakanga zvauyiswa naJehovha pamusoro pake; munhu mumwe nomumwe akamupawo chimari, nomumwe nomumwe chindori chendarama.

¹¹And come unto him do all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and they eat bread with him in his house, and bemoan him, and comfort him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him, and they gave to him each one kesitah, and each one ring of gold.

¹²Saizvozvo Jehovha akaropafadza kupedzisira kwaJobho kupfuura kutanga kwake; akanga ana makwai ane zviuru zvitanhatu, nenzombe dzingasungwa pamajoko dzine chiuru chimwe, namakadzi embongoro ane chiuru chimwe.

¹²And Jehovah hath blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning, and he hath fourteen thousand of a flock, and six thousand camels, and a thousand pairs of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

¹³Akazovawo navanakomana vanomwe navanasikana vatatu.

¹³And he hath seven sons and three daughters;

¹⁴Akatumidza wokutanga zita rinonzi Jemima, nowechipiri zita rinonzi Kezia, nowechitatu zita rinonzi Kerenihapuki.

¹⁴and he calleth the name of the one Jemima, and the name of the second Kezia, and the name of the third Keren-Happuch.

¹⁵Panyika yose hapana kuwanikwa vakadzi vakanaka pazviso zvavo vakapfuurawo vakunda vaJobho baba vavo vakapawo nhaka pakati pehanzvadzi dzavo.

¹⁵And there have not been found women fair as the daughters of Job in all the land, and their father doth give to them an inheritance in the midst of their brethren.

¹⁶Shure kwaizvozvo Jobho akazogara makore ane zana namakumi mana, akaona vanakomana vake, navanakomana vavanakomana vake, kusvikira pamarudzi mana.

¹⁶And Job liveth after this a hundred and forty years, and seeth his sons, and his sons` sons, four generations;

¹⁷Zvino Jobho akazofa, akwegura, ava namazuva mazhinji.

¹⁷and Job dieth, aged and satisfied [with] days.
