< Job 42 >

1 Then Job replied to Yahweh. [He said],
Natoi’ Iobe amy zao t’Iehovà,
2 “I know that you can do everything and that no one can stop you from doing what you want to do.
Fantako te kila lefe’o, le tsy azo sebañeñe ze safiri’o.
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.
Hoe irehe: Ia ze o mañeta-panoroañe tsy aman-kilala zao? Toe nivolañeko ty tsy nirendreko, o raha loho mandikoatse ahy, tsy napotako.
4 You said to me, ‘Listen while I talk to you. I want to ask you some questions, so prepare yourself to answer them.’
Ehe janjiño, [hoe irehe, ] le hivolan-draho, hañontaneako vaho ho toiñe’o.
5 I had heard about you previously, but now [it is as though] I have seen you with my own eyes.
Toe nahatsanoñe ty ama’o raho am-pijanjiñan-dravembia, fe mahatrea Azo o masokoo henaneo;
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].”
Aa le hejeko ty troko vaho misoloho an-deboke naho lavenoke.
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.
Ie fa nilañone’ Iehovà am’ Iobe i tsara rezay, le hoe t’Iehovà amy Elifaze nte-Temane: Miforoforo ama’o naho amo rañe’o roe reo ty haboseko; amy te tsy nitaroña’ areo ty hatò, manahake ty nanoem-pitoroko Iobe.
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.”
Aa le andrambeso bania fito naho añondrilahy fito, le miheova mb’amy Iobe mpitoroko mb’eo naho mañengà soroñe ho anahareo; le hihalalia’ Iobe mpitoroko naho ho noko i halali’ey vaho tsy hanoeko ama’ areo ty mañeva i hanè’ areoy; amy t’ie tsy nilañoñe ahy an-katò, manahake ty nanoe’ i mpitoroko Iobey.
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].
Aa le nimb’eo t’i Elifaze nte-Temane naho i Bildade nte Sohy naho i Tsofare nte-Naamà le nanoe’ iereo i tsi­nara’ Iehovà am’ iereoy; le ninò’ Iehovà ty halali’ Iobe.
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.
Aa le nampoli’ Iehovà o vara’ Iobeo, ie nihalaly ho a i rañe’e rey; vaho natolo’ Iehovà am’ Iobe indroe’ ty nanaña’e taolo.
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.
Nomb’ ama’e mb’eo amy zao o rahalahi’e iabio naho o rahavave’e iabio naho ze hene nahafohiñe aze taolo vaho nitrao-pikama ama’e añ’ anjomba’e ao; nitretreze’ iareo vaho nañohò aze amo fonga haoreañe nafetsa’ Iehovà ama’eo; vaho songa nanolotse ty bogady ama’e naho ty bange volamena.
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.
Nitahie’ Iehovà o figadoñan’ andro’ Iobeo mandikoatse te amy nifotora’ey; ie nanañ’ añondry rai-ale tsy efats’ arivo naho rameva eneñ’ arivo naho katràka mpiharo-bao arivo vaho borìke-vave arivo.
13 And he also had seven [more] sons and three [more] daughters.
Nanañ’ anadahy fito re naho anak’ ampela telo.
14 He named the first daughter Jemimah, he named the second daughter Keziah, and he named the third daughter Keren-Happuch.
Natao’e Iemimae ty añara’ i valoha’ey naho Keziae ty faharoe vaho Keren-Kapokee ty fahatelo.
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.
Tsy nañirinkiriñeñe amy tane iabiy ty hamozohozo’ i anak’ ampela’ Iobe rey vaho songa tinolon-drae’e lova miharo amo ana-dahi’eo.
16 After that, Job lived 140 more years. Before he died, he (saw/enjoyed being with) his great-great-grandchildren.
Ie añe, mbe niveloñe zato-tsy-efapolo taoñe t’Iobe vaho niisa’e o ana’eo naho o zafe’eo pak’an-tariratse fah’efafatse.
17 He was very old [DOU] when he died.
Aa le nivilasy t’Iobe, androanavy bey, lifots’ andro.
