Job 42
1 Then Job replied to Yahweh. [He said],
Job répondit à Yahweh et dit:
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, et que pour toi aucun dessein n’est trop difficile.
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.
« Quel est celui qui obscurcit le plan divin, sans savoir? » Oui, j’ai parlé sans intelligence de merveilles qui me dépassent et que j’ignore.
4 You said to me, ‘Listen while I talk to you. I want to ask you some questions, so prepare yourself to answer them.’
« Ecoute-moi, je vais parler; je t’interrogerai, réponds-moi. »
5 I had heard about you previously, but now [it is as though] I have seen you with my own eyes.
Mon oreille avait entendu parler de toi; mais maintenant mon œil t’a vu.
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 condamne et me repens, sur la poussière et sur la cendre.
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 Yahweh eut adressé ces paroles à Job, il dit à Eliphaz de Théman: « Ma colère est allumée contre toi et contre tes deux amis, parce que vous n’avez pas parlé de moi selon la vérité, 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 sept jeunes taureaux et sept béliers; puis venez trouver mon serviteur Job, et offrez pour vous un holocauste. Job, mon serviteur, priera pour vous, et c’est par égard pour lui que je ne vous traiterai pas selon votre folie; car vous n’avez pas parlé de moi selon la vérité, 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].
Eliphaz de Théman, Baldad de Suhé et Sophar de Naaman allèrent donc et firent comme Yahweh leur avait dit; et Yahweh eut égard à la prière de 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.
Yahweh rétablit Job dans son premier état, pendant que Job intercédait pour ses amis, et Yahweh rendit à Job le double de tous ses biens.
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.
Ses frères, ses sœurs et ses anciens amis vinrent tous le visiter et mangèrent avec lui dans sa maison. Ils le plaignirent et le consolèrent de tous les malheurs que Yahweh avait fait venir sur lui; et ils lui firent don chacun d’une késita et d’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 Yahweh bénit les derniers temps de Job plus encore que les premiers, et il posséda quatorze mille brebis, six mille chameaux, mille paires de bœufs et mille ânesses.
13 And he also had seven [more] sons and three [more] daughters.
Il eut 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 nomma la première Jémima, la deuxième Ketsia et la troisième Kéren-Hapouk.
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.
On ne trouvait pas dans toute la terre d’aussi belles femmes que les filles de Job, et leur père leur donna une part d’héritage parmi leurs frères.
16 After that, Job lived 140 more years. Before he died, he (saw/enjoyed being with) his great-great-grandchildren.
Job vécut après cela cent quarante ans, et il vit ses fils et les fils de ses fils jusqu’à la quatrième génération.
17 He was very old [DOU] when he died.
Et Job mourut vieux et rassasié de jours.
