Job 42
1 Then Job replied to Yahweh. [He said],
Na Hiob buaa Awurade sɛ,
2 “I know that you can do everything and that no one can stop you from doing what you want to do.
“Menim sɛ wotumi yɛ nneɛma nyinaa; obiara rentumi nsɛe wo nhyehyɛeɛ.
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.
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 You said to me, ‘Listen while I talk to you. I want to ask you some questions, so prepare yourself to answer them.’
“Wokaa sɛ, ‘Tie na menkasa; mɛbisa wo nsɛm na ɛsɛ sɛ woma me mmuaeɛ.’
5 I had heard about you previously, but now [it is as though] I have seen you with my own eyes.
Mate wo nka pɛn, na seesei deɛ, mʼani ahunu wo.
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].”
Ɛno enti mebu me ho animtiaa na mete mfuturo ne nsõ mu de kyerɛ mʼahonu.”
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.
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 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.”
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, Bildad, and Zophar did what Yahweh commanded them to do, and Yahweh did what Job requested him to do [for the three of them].
Enti, Temanni Elifas ne Suhini Bildad ne Naamani Sofar yɛɛ sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ wɔn no, na Awurade tiee Hiob mpaeɛbɔ.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
Awurade hyiraa Hiob nkwa awieeɛ senee ne ahyɛaseɛ. Ɔnyaa nnwan ɔpedunan, nyoma mpem nsia, anantwinini mpamho apem ne mfunumu abereɛ apem.
13 And he also had seven [more] sons and three [more] daughters.
Bio ɔnyaa mmammarima baason ne mmammaa baasa.
14 He named the first daughter Jemimah, he named the second daughter Keziah, and he named the third daughter 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 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.
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 After that, Job lived 140 more years. Before he died, he (saw/enjoyed being with) his great-great-grandchildren.
Yei akyiri no, Hiob dii mfirinhyia ɔha aduanan; ɔhunuu ne mma ne ne mmanana awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ ɛnan.
17 He was very old [DOU] when he died.
Afei ɔwuiɛ a na wayɛ akora pa ara.
