< Job 42 >
1 Then Job answered and said to the Lord,
Na Hiob buaa Awurade sɛ,
2 I know that you can do all things, and nothing is impossible with you.
“Menim sɛ wotumi yɛ nneɛma nyinaa; obiara rentumi nsɛe wo nhyehyɛeɛ.
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?
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 But hear me, O Lord, that I also may speak: and I will ask you, and do you teach me.
“Wokaa sɛ, ‘Tie na menkasa; mɛbisa wo nsɛm na ɛsɛ sɛ woma me mmuaeɛ.’
5 I have heard the report of you by the ear before; but now mine eye has seen you.
Mate wo nka pɛn, na seesei deɛ, mʼani ahunu wo.
6 Therefore I have counted myself vile, and have fainted: and I esteem myself dust and ashes.
Ɛno enti mebu me ho animtiaa na mete mfuturo ne nsõ mu de kyerɛ mʼahonu.”
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].
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 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.
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 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.
Enti, Temanni Elifas ne Suhini Bildad ne Naamani Sofar yɛɛ sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ wɔn no, na Awurade tiee Hiob mpaeɛbɔ.
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.
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 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].
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 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.
Awurade hyiraa Hiob nkwa awieeɛ senee ne ahyɛaseɛ. Ɔnyaa nnwan ɔpedunan, nyoma mpem nsia, anantwinini mpamho apem ne mfunumu abereɛ apem.
13 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
Bio ɔnyaa mmammarima baason ne mmammaa baasa.
14 And he called the first Day, and the second Casia, and the third Amalthaea's horn.
Ɔtoo ne babaa piesie no edin Yemima, na deɛ ɔdi soɔ no Kesia na deɛ ɔtɔ so mmiɛnsa no de Keren-Hapuk.
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 among their brethren.
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 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.
Yei akyiri no, Hiob dii mfirinhyia ɔha aduanan; ɔhunuu ne mma ne ne mmanana awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ ɛnan.
17 And Job died, an old man and full of days.
Afei ɔwuiɛ a na wayɛ akora pa ara.
