Job 42
1 Then Job answered the Lord.
Na Hiob buaa Awurade sɛ,
2 “I know you can do anything. No one can prevent you doing what you want.
“Menim sɛ wotumi yɛ nneɛma nyinaa; obiara rentumi nsɛe wo nhyehyɛeɛ.
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.
Wobisa sɛ, ‘Hwan ni a ɔnni nimdeɛ nso ɔsi mʼafotuo ho ɛkwan?’ Ampa ara mekaa nneɛma a mente aseɛ ho nsɛm, nneɛma a ɛyɛ nwanwa ma me.
4 You told me, ‘Listen to me, I am going to speak. I am going to question you, and you must answer me.’
“Wokaa sɛ, ‘Tie na menkasa; mɛbisa wo nsɛm na ɛsɛ sɛ woma me mmuaeɛ.’
5 Before, I had only heard about you, but now I've seen you for myself.
Mate wo nka pɛn, na seesei deɛ, mʼani ahunu wo.
6 That is why I'm sorry for what I said, and I repent in dust and ashes.”
Ɛno enti mebu me ho animtiaa na mete mfuturo ne nsõ mu de kyerɛ mʼahonu.”
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.
Na Awurade kaa nsɛm yi kyerɛɛ Hiob wieeɛ no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Temanni Elifas sɛ, “Me bo afu wo ne wo nnamfonom baanu no, ɛfiri sɛ, moanka me ho asɛm a ɛyɛ nokorɛ sɛdeɛ me ɔsomfoɔ Hiob kaeɛ no.
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.”
Afei, momfa anantwie nson ne nnwennini nson, na monkɔ me ɔsomfoɔ Hiob nkyɛn, na monkɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ mma mo ho. Me ɔsomfoɔ Hiob bɛbɔ mpaeɛ ama mo, na mɛtie ne mpaeɛbɔ no na merenyɛ mo sɛdeɛ ɛfata mo nkwaseasɛm no. Nsɛm a moka faa me ho no nyɛ nokorɛ sɛdeɛ me ɔsomfoɔ Hiob yɛeɛ no.”
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.
Enti, Temanni Elifas ne Suhini Bildad ne Naamani Sofar yɛɛ sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ wɔn no, na Awurade tiee Hiob mpaeɛbɔ.
10 The Lord restored Job's prosperity when he prayed for his friends, and gave him twice as much as he had before.
Hiob bɔɔ mpaeɛ maa ne nnamfonom akyi no, Awurade sane yɛɛ no ɔdefoɔ bio na ɔde nʼahodeɛ a na ɔwɔ kane no mmɔho mmienu maa no.
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.
Afei, ne nuammarima, ne nuammaa nyinaa ne obiara a na ɔnim no dada no baa ne fie ne no bɛdidiiɛ. Wɔkyekyeree ne werɛ wɔ amanehunu a Awurade ma ɔkɔɔ mu no ho, na wɔn mu biara brɛɛ no dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ kawa.
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.
Awurade hyiraa Hiob nkwa awieeɛ senee ne ahyɛaseɛ. Ɔnyaa nnwan ɔpedunan, nyoma mpem nsia, anantwinini mpamho apem ne mfunumu abereɛ apem.
13 Job also had seven sons and three daughters.
Bio ɔnyaa mmammarima baason ne mmammaa baasa.
14 Job called the first daughter Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-Happuch.
Ɔtoo ne babaa piesie no edin Yemima, na deɛ ɔdi soɔ no Kesia na deɛ ɔtɔ so mmiɛnsa no de Keren-Hapuk.
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.
Asase no so nyinaa, na mmaa biara nni hɔ a wɔn ho yɛ fɛ sɛ Hiob mmammaa no, na wɔn agya de wɔn kaa wɔn nuammarima no ho maa wɔn agyapadeɛ.
16 Job lived 140 years after this, seeing his children, and grandchildren, in fact four generations.
Yei akyiri no, Hiob dii mfirinhyia ɔha aduanan; ɔhunuu ne mma ne ne mmanana awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ ɛnan.
17 Then Job died at an old age, having lived a very full life.
Afei ɔwuiɛ a na wayɛ akora pa ara.
