Job 42
1 Then Job replied to Yahweh. [He said],
Alors Job répondit à Yahvé:
2 “I know that you can do everything and that no one can stop you from doing what you want to do.
« Je sais que tu peux tout faire, et qu'aucune de vos intentions ne peut être retenue.
3 [You asked me], ‘(Who are you, who by speaking ignorantly, question what I plan to do?/You have no right to question what I plan to do by speaking ignorantly.)’ [RHQ] It is true that I spoke about things that I did not understand, things that are very wonderful/marvelous, and therefore I am not able to know them.
Tu as demandé: « Qui est celui qui cache un conseil sans le savoir? ». J'ai donc prononcé ce que je n'ai pas compris, des choses trop merveilleuses pour moi, que je ne connaissais pas.
4 You said to me, ‘Listen while I talk to you. I want to ask you some questions, so prepare yourself to answer them.’
Tu as dit: « Écoute, maintenant, et je vais parler; Je vous interrogerai et vous me répondrez.
5 I had heard about you previously, but now [it is as though] I have seen you with my own eyes.
J'avais entendu parler de toi par l'ouïe, mais maintenant mon œil te voit.
6 Therefore I (am ashamed of/withdraw) what I said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show that I am sorry [for what I said].”
C'est pourquoi je me dégoûte, et se repentir dans la poussière et les cendres. »
7 After Yahweh said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz, “I am angry with you and your two friends, [Bildad and Zophar], because what my servant Job said about me was right/true, but what you have spoken about me was not right/true.
Après que l'Éternel eut dit ces paroles à Job, il dit à Éliphaz, le Thémanite: Ma colère s'enflamme contre toi et contre tes deux amis, car vous n'avez pas parlé de moi avec droiture, comme l'a fait mon serviteur Job.
8 So now you must take to Job seven young bulls and seven rams and [kill them and] burn them on the altar as a sacrifice for yourselves. Then Job will pray for you, and I will do what he requests me to do, [and I will forgive you for speaking wrongly about me]. I will not punish you, even though you deserve to be punished, because what you said about me was not right/true, but what Job said about me was right/true.”
Maintenant, prenez pour vous sept taureaux et sept béliers, allez vers mon serviteur Job, et offrez pour vous un holocauste; et mon serviteur Job priera pour vous, car je l'accepterai, afin de ne pas vous traiter selon votre folie. Car vous n'avez pas dit de moi ce qui est juste, comme l'a fait mon serviteur Job. »
9 So Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar did what Yahweh commanded them to do, and Yahweh did what Job requested him to do [for the three of them].
Et Éliphaz, le Témanite, Bildad, le Shuhite, et Zophar, le Naamathite, s'en allèrent et firent ce que Yahvé leur avait ordonné, et Yahvé accepta Job.
10 After Job prayed for his three friends, Yahweh [healed him and] caused him to become rich again. Yahweh gave him twice as many things as he had before.
Yahvé a rétabli la prospérité de Job lorsque celui-ci a prié pour ses amis. Yahvé donna à Job le double de ce qu'il avait auparavant.
11 Then all his brothers and sisters, and all the people who had known him before, came to his house, and they ate a meal together. They consoled/comforted [DOU] him because of all the troubles that Yahweh had allowed him to experience.
Alors tous ses frères, toutes ses sœurs, et tous ceux qu'il connaissait auparavant, vinrent le trouver et mangèrent avec lui dans sa maison. Ils le réconfortèrent et le consolèrent au sujet de tout le mal que Yahvé avait fait venir sur lui. Tous lui donnèrent aussi une pièce d'argent, et chacun un anneau d'or.
12 Then Yahweh blessed Job in the second half of his life more than he had blessed him in the first half of his life. He now acquired/owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 2,000 oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.
Et Yahvé bénit la fin de Job plus que son début. Il avait quatorze mille moutons, six mille chameaux, mille paires de bœufs et mille ânesses.
13 And he also had seven [more] sons and three [more] daughters.
Il avait aussi sept fils et trois filles.
14 He named the first daughter Jemimah, he named the second daughter Keziah, and he named the third daughter Keren-Happuch.
Il appela le nom du premier, Jemimah; le nom du second, Keziah; et le nom du troisième, Keren Happuch.
15 In all of [Uz] land there were no young women who were as beautiful as the daughters of Job, and Job declared that they would inherit some of his possessions, just like their brothers would inherit some.
Dans tout le pays, on ne trouva pas de femmes aussi belles que les filles de Job. Leur père leur donna un héritage parmi leurs frères.
16 After that, Job lived 140 more years. Before he died, he (saw/enjoyed being with) his great-great-grandchildren.
Après cela, Job vécut cent quarante ans, et vit ses fils, et les fils de ses fils, jusqu'à quatre générations.
17 He was very old [DOU] when he died.
Job mourut, âgé et rassasié de jours.
