< Job 42 >

1 Then Job answered and said to the Lord,
Yobo azongiselaki Yawe:
2 I know that you can do all things, and nothing is impossible with you.
« Nayebi ete okoki kosala makambo nyonso; eloko moko te ekoki kotelemela mabongisi na Yo.
3 For who is he that hides counsel from you? or who keeps back his words, and thinks to hide them from you? and who will tell me what I knew not, great and wonderful things which I understood not?
Olobaki: ‹ Nani akoki komema molili na mabongisi na Ngai, na nzela ya maloba na ye, oyo ezanga tina? › Solo, nazalaki kolobela makambo oyo nayebaki te, makambo ya kokamwa penza mpo na ngai, makambo oyo nasosolaki te.
4 But hear me, O Lord, that I also may speak: and I will ask you, and do you teach me.
Olobaki na ngai: ‹ Yaka sik’oyo, nalingi koloba; nalingi kotuna yo motuna, bongo okopesa ngai eyano. ›
5 I have heard the report of you by the ear before; but now mine eye has seen you.
Matoyi na ngai eyokaki makambo oyo bazalaki koloba na tina na Yo; kasi sik’oyo, miso na ngai emoni Yo.
6 Therefore I have counted myself vile, and have fainted: and I esteem myself dust and ashes.
Yango wana, ngai moko, nazali komiyokela mawa mpe namileli, namikitisi kino na putulu ya mabele mpe na putulu ya moto. »
7 And it came to pass after the Lord had spoken all these words to Job, [that] the Lord said to Eliphaz the Thaemanite, You have sinned, and your two friends: for you have not said anything true before me, as my servant Job [has].
Sima na Yawe koloba makambo oyo epai ya Yobo, alobaki na Elifazi, moto ya Temani: « Kanda na Ngai engaleli yo mpe baninga na yo mibale, pamba te bolobi na bosembo te na tina na Ngai, ndenge Yobo, mosali na Ngai, alobaki.
8 Now then take seven bullocks, and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and he shall offer a burnt offering for you. And my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will only accept him: for but his sake, I would have destroyed you, for you have not spoken the truth against my servant Job.
Kasi sik’oyo, bokamata bangombe sambo ya mibali mpe bameme sambo ya mibali; bokende epai ya Yobo, mosali na Ngai, botumba mbeka mpo na bino moko. Yobo, mosali na Ngai, akobondela mpo na bino; mpe mpo na kondima na ye, nakoyamba libondeli na ye mpo ete nasalela bino te kolanda bozoba na bino. Pamba te bolobi na bosembo te na tina na Ngai, ndenge Yobo, mosali na Ngai, alobaki. »
9 So Eliphaz the Thaemanite, and Baldad the Sauchite, and Sophar the Minaean, went and did as the Lord commanded them: and he pardoned their sin for the sake of Job.
Boye Elifazi, moto ya Temani; Bilidadi, moto ya Shuwa, mpe Tsofari, moto ya Naama, basalaki makambo oyo Yawe atindaki bango kosala; mpe Yawe ayambaki libondeli ya Yobo.
10 And the Lord prospered Job: and when he prayed also for his friends, he forgave them [their] sin: and the Lord gave Job twice as much, even the double of what he had before.
Sima na Yobo kosambela mpo na baninga na ye, Yawe atalisaki ye lisusu bolamu mpe apesaki ye bomengo mbala mibale koleka oyo azalaki na yango liboso.
11 And all his brethren and his sisters heard all that had happened to him, and they came to him, and [so did] all that had known him from the first: and they ate and drank with him, and comforted him, and wondered at all that the Lord had brought upon him: and each one gave him a lamb, and four drachmas' weight of gold, even of unstamped [gold].
Bandeko na ye nyonso ya mibali mpe ya basi, elongo na bato nyonso oyo bayebaki ye liboso, bayaki mpe baliaki na ye elongo kati na ndako na ye; bakabolaki na ye mawa mpe balendisaki ye na tina na pasi nyonso oyo Yawe atindelaki ye, mpe moko na moko kati na bango apesaki ye mbongo moko ya ebende ya palata mpe lopete moko ya wolo.
12 And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job, [more] than the beginning: and his cattle were fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, a thousand she-asses of the pastures.
Yawe apambolaki suka ya Yobo koleka ebandeli ya bomoi na ye. Azalaki na bameme nkoto zomi na minei, bashamo nkoto motoba, bangombe nkoto mibale mpe ba-ane nkoto moko.
13 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
Azalaki na bana mibali sambo mpe bana basi misato.
14 And he called the first Day, and the second Casia, and the third Amalthaea's horn.
Mwana na ye ya liboso ya mwasi, Yemima; ya mibale, Ketsia; mpe ya misato, Kereni-Apuki.
15 And there were not found in comparison with the daughters of Job, fairer [women] than they in all the world: and their father gave them an inheritance amongst their brethren.
Kati na mokili mobimba, ezalaki te na basi kitoko koleka bana basi ya Yobo. Tata na bango apesaki bango libula ndenge moko na bandeko na bango ya mibali.
16 And Job lived after [his] affliction a hundred and seventy years: and all the years he lived were two hundred and forty: and Job saw his sons and his sons' sons, the fourth generation.
Sima na yango, Yobo awumelaki lisusu na bomoi mibu nkama moko na tuku minei; amonaki bana na ye mpe bakitani na ye kino na molongo ya minei.
17 And Job died, an old man and full of days.
Mpe Yobo akufaki na kimobange makasi mpe atondaki na mikolo.
