Job 42
1 Then Job answered the Lord.
Men sa Jòb reponn Seyè a:
2 “I know you can do anything. No one can prevent you doing what you want.
-Mwen konnen, Seyè, ou gen tout pouvwa. W'ap fè tou sa ou mete nan tèt ou pou ou fè.
3 You asked, ‘Who is this who questions my wisdom by talking so ignorantly?’ I was speaking about things I didn't understand—things too wonderful for me to know.
Ou mande kisa mwen ye menm pou m'ap poze keksyon sou plan travay ou, ak yon bann diskou ki pa vle di anyen. Mwen te louvri bouch mwen pale sou sa m' pa konprann, sou bèl bagay ki twò fò pou mwen.
4 You told me, ‘Listen to me, I am going to speak. I am going to question you, and you must answer me.’
Ou te mande m' pou m' koute sa w'ap di m', pou m' pare pou m' reponn ou.
5 Before, I had only heard about you, but now I've seen you for myself.
Sa m' te konn sou ou a, se sa lòt moun te di m' ase. Koulye a, mwen wè ou ak je mwen.
6 That is why I'm sorry for what I said, and I repent in dust and ashes.”
Se konsa, mwen wete tou sa mwen te di. Mwen kouche sou sann ak nan pousyè, m'ap mande padon.
7 After the Lord had finished speaking to Job he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends because you have not told the truth about me, as my servant Job did.
Lè Seyè a fin pale konsa ak Jòb, li pale ak Elifaz, moun lavil Teman an. Li di l' konsa: -Mwen te fache sou ou ak sou de zanmi ou yo, paske sa nou di sou mwen an pa vre menm. Nou pa t' pale tankou Jòb, sèvitè m' lan.
8 So take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job, and you shall offer a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray on your behalf and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your foolishness, because you have not told the truth about me, as my servant Job did.”
Atòkile, men sa pou nou fè: Pran sèt towo bèf ak sèt belye mouton. Al jwenn Jòb ak yo. N'a ofri yo pou nou, n'a boule yo nèt. Jòb li menm va lapriyè pou nou. M'a reponn li. Konsa, m'a fè pa nou. Mwen p'ap pini nou deske nou pa t' pale byen sou mwen, jan Jòb, sèvitè m' lan, te fè l' la.
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite did what the Lord commanded them, and the Lord accepted Job's prayer.
Elifaz, moun lavil Teman an, Bildad, moun lavil Chwa a, ak Sofa, moun lavil Naama a, al fè tou sa Seyè a te di yo fè a. Seyè a fè tou sa Jòb te mande l' nan lapriyè a.
10 The Lord restored Job's prosperity when he prayed for his friends, and gave him twice as much as he had before.
Apre Jòb te fin lapriyè pou twa zanmi l' yo, Seyè a mete l' kanpe ankò. Tout zafè l' vin mache byen ankò. Lèfini, Seyè a ba li de fwa lavalè tou sa li te genyen anvan an.
11 Then all his brothers and sisters and friends he'd previously known came and ate with him at his home. They showed him sympathy and comforted him because of all the trouble the Lord had caused him. Each one of them gave him money and a gold ring.
Tout frè ak sè l' yo ansanm ak tout ansyen zanmi l' yo vin wè li. Yo fè fèt avè l' lakay li. Yo fè l' konnen jan sa te fè kè yo mal pou li pou tout malè sa yo Seyè a te voye sou li. Yo fè l' pran kouraj. Yo chak yo fè l' kado yon pyès ajan ak yon bag lò.
12 The Lord blessed the last part of Job's life more than the first part. Now he owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 teams of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.
Apre sa, Seyè a te beni Jòb plis pase jan li te fè l' anvan an. Jòb te vin genyen katòzmil (14.000) mouton, simil (6.000) chamo, demil (2.000) tèt bèf ak mil (1000) manman bourik.
13 Job also had seven sons and three daughters.
Li fè sèt pitit gason ak twa pitit fi.
14 Job called the first daughter Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-Happuch.
Li rele pi gran pitit fi a Jemina, dezyèm lan Kesya, twazyèm lan Kerèn apouk.
15 Nowhere in all the land were there women as beautiful as Job's daughters, and Job gave them the same inheritance as their brothers.
Nan tout peyi a pa t' gen pi bèl fanm pase twa pitit fi Jòb yo. Papa a te ba yo chak yon pòsyon nan byen l' yo ansanm ak frè yo.
16 Job lived 140 years after this, seeing his children, and grandchildren, in fact four generations.
Apre sa, Jòb viv jouk li rive gen sankarantan sou tèt li. Li wè pitit pitit li yo ak pitit pitit pitit li yo, jouk rive sou kat jenerasyon.
17 Then Job died at an old age, having lived a very full life.
Lè li mouri, li te fin vye granmoun, li te viv kont li.
