Bwalo la Kumwamba Likusonkhana

⁶Ndipo panali tsiku pamene mamembala a bwalo la kumwamba anadza kudzaonekera pamaso pa Atate wathu, ndipo Satana anadzanso pakati pawo.

⁷Atate wathu anati kwa Satana, “Wachokera kuti?” Satana anayankha Atate wathu nati, “Ndachokera koyendayenda dziko lapansi ndi kuyendamo uku ndi uku.”

⁸Atate wathu anati kwa Satana, “Kodi waganizira za mtumiki wanga Yobu? Palibe wofanana naye padziko lapansi—munthu wangwiro ndi wolungama, woopa Mulungu ndi wopewa zoipa.”

⁹Satana anayankha Atate wathu nati, “Kodi Yobu amaopa Mulungu pachabe? ¹⁰Kodi simunamanga mpanda wozungulira iye ndi banja lake ndi zonse zimene ali nazo, mbali zonse? Mwadalitsa ntchito ya manja ake, ndipo chuma chake chafalikira m'dziko lonse. ¹¹Koma tambasulani dzanja lanu nimukantha zonse zimene ali nazo, ndipo ndithudi adzakutembererani pamaso panu.”

¹²Atate wathu anati kwa Satana, “Zabwino—zonse zimene ali nazo zili m'manja mwako. Koma usakhudze munthu mwini wake.” Ndipo Satana anachoka pamaso pa Atate wathu.

¹³Ndipo panali tsiku pamene ana aamuna ndi ana aakazi a Yobu ankadya ndi kumwa vinyo m'nyumba ya mkulu wawo, ¹⁴ndipo wamthenga anadza kwa Yobu nati, “Ng'ombe zinkalima ndipo abulu ankadya pafupi nazo, ¹⁵pamene Aseba anaukira nazitenga, ndipo anakantha antchito ndi lupanga. Ndine ndekha amene ndapulumuka kuti ndidzakuuzeni.”

¹⁶Iye akuyankhulabe, wina anadza nati, “Moto wa Mulungu unagwa kuchokera kumwamba nuwotcha nkhosa ndi antchito nuwononga. Ndine ndekha amene ndapulumuka kuti ndidzakuuzeni.”

¹⁷Iye akuyankhulabe, wina anadza nati, “Ababuloni anapanga magulu atatu akuukira, nathamangira ngamila nazitenga, ndipo anakantha antchito ndi lupanga. Ndine ndekha amene ndapulumuka kuti ndidzakuuzeni.”

¹⁸Iye akuyankhulabe, wina anadza nati, “Ana anu aamuna ndi aakazi ankadya ndi kumwa vinyo m'nyumba ya mkulu wawo, ¹⁹pamene mwadzidzidzi mphepo yamphamvu inawomba kuchokera kutchire, nikantha ngodya zinayi za nyumbayo. Inagwera achinyamatawo, ndipo afa. Ndine ndekha amene ndapulumuka kuti ndidzakuuzeni.”

²⁰Pamenepo Yobu anadzuka, nang'amba mkanjo wake, nameta mutu wake, nagwa pansi nalambira. ²¹Iye anati, “Ndinabwera wamaliseche kuchokera m'mimba mwa amayi anga, ndipo wamaliseche ndidzabwerera. Atate wathu anapereka, ndipo watenga; litamandidwe dzina lake.” ^b b v21 Ngakhale pa kutaya kowawa kwambiri, Yobu akutamanda Iye amene amapereka ndi kutenga. Iye akufikira dzina la pangano m'kulambira — ndipo FHB akumutcha Atate wathu, ubale umene Yobu akuyandikira ngakhale asanauone bwinobwino. ²²M'zonsezi Yobu sanachimwe kapena kuimba mlandu Mulungu ndi cholakwa.
