< Job 42 >

1 And Job answers YHWH and says:
Na Hiob buaa Awurade sɛ,
2 “You have known that [for] all things You are able, And no purpose is withheld from You.
“Menim sɛ wotumi yɛ nneɛma nyinaa; obiara rentumi nsɛe wo nhyehyɛeɛ.
3 [You said], Who [is] this hiding counsel without knowledge? Therefore, I have declared, and do not understand, Too wonderful for me, and I do not 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 Please hear, and I speak; [You said], I ask you, and you cause Me to know.
“Wokaa sɛ, ‘Tie na menkasa; mɛbisa wo nsɛm na ɛsɛ sɛ woma me mmuaeɛ.’
5 By the hearing of the ear I heard You, And now my eye has seen You.
Mate wo nka pɛn, na seesei deɛ, mʼani ahunu wo.
6 Therefore I loathe [it], And I have sighed on dust and ashes.”
Ɛno enti mebu me ho animtiaa na mete mfuturo ne nsõ mu de kyerɛ mʼahonu.”
7 And it comes to pass after YHWH’s speaking these words to Job, that YHWH says to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My anger has burned against you and against your two friends, because you have not spoken correctly concerning Me, like My servant Job.
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 And now, take seven bullocks and seven rams for yourselves, and go to My servant Job, and you have caused a burnt-offering to ascend for yourselves; and Job My servant prays for you, for surely I accept his face, so as not to do folly with you, because you have not spoken correctly concerning Me, like 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 And they go—Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, Zophar the Naamathite—and do as YHWH has spoken to them; and YHWH accepts the face of Job.
Enti, Temanni Elifas ne Suhini Bildad ne Naamani Sofar yɛɛ sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ wɔn no, na Awurade tiee Hiob mpaeɛbɔ.
10 And YHWH has turned [to] the captivity of Job in his praying for his friends, and YHWH adds [to] all that Job has—to double.
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 brothers come to him, and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and they eat bread with him in his house, and bemoan him, and comfort him concerning all the calamity that YHWH had brought on him, and they each gave to him one kesitah, and each one ring of 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 YHWH has blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning, and he has fourteen thousand of a flock, and six thousand camels, and one thousand pairs of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.
Awurade hyiraa Hiob nkwa awieeɛ senee ne ahyɛaseɛ. Ɔnyaa nnwan ɔpedunan, nyoma mpem nsia, anantwinini mpamho apem ne mfunumu abereɛ apem.
13 And he has seven sons and three daughters;
Bio ɔnyaa mmammarima baason ne mmammaa baasa.
14 and he calls the name of the first Jemima, and the name of the second Kezia, and the name of 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 And there have not been found women [as] beautiful as the daughters of Job in all the land, and their father gives to them an inheritance in the midst of 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 And Job lives after this one hundred and forty years, and sees his sons, and his sons’ sons, four generations;
Yei akyiri no, Hiob dii mfirinhyia ɔha aduanan; ɔhunuu ne mma ne ne mmanana awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ ɛnan.
17 and Job dies, aged and satisfied [with] days.
Afei ɔwuiɛ a na wayɛ akora pa ara.
