Hiob 42
1 Tete Hiob ɖo eŋu na Yehowa be:
Then Job answered the Lord.
2 “Azɔ menya be àte ŋu awɔ nu sia nu, ame aɖeke mate ŋu agblẽ wò ɖoɖowo me o.
“I know you can do anything. No one can prevent you doing what you want.
3 Èbia be, ‘Ame kae nye esi tsyɔ nu nye aɖaŋudede dzi numanyamanyatɔe?’ Nyateƒee, meƒo nu le nu siwo nyemenya o la ŋuti, nu siwo goglo akpa na nye nyanya.
You asked, ‘Who is this who questions my wisdom by talking so ignorantly?’ I was speaking about things I didn't understand—things too wonderful for me to know.
4 “Ègblɔ be, ‘Ɖo to azɔ, ne maƒo nu, ne mabia gbe wò, ne nàɖo eŋu nam.’
You told me, ‘Listen to me, I am going to speak. I am going to question you, and you must answer me.’
5 Nye towo se nya le ŋuwò, ke azɔ la, nye ŋkuwo kpɔ wò
Before, I had only heard about you, but now I've seen you for myself.
6 eya ta nu siwo katã megblɔ la kpe ŋu nam eye megbe wo le ke kple afi me.”
That is why I'm sorry for what I said, and I repent in dust and ashes.”
7 Esi Yehowa gblɔ nya siawo na Hiob vɔ la, egblɔ na Temanitɔ, Elifaz be, “Medo dɔmedzoe ɖe mia kple xɔ̃wò eveawo ŋu elabena miegblɔ nu si le eteƒe la tso ŋutinye abe nye dɔla Hiob ene o
After the Lord had finished speaking to Job he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends because you have not told the truth about me, as my servant Job did.
8 eya ta azɔ mitsɔ nyitsu adre kple agbo adre, ne miayi ɖe nye dɔla Hiob gbɔ eye miasa numevɔ na mia ɖokuiwo. Nye dɔla Hiob ado gbe ɖa ɖe mia ta, mase eƒe gbedodoɖa eye nyemaɖo miaƒe bometsinuwo teƒe na mi o elabena mieƒo nu nyui tso ŋutinye abe nye dɔla Hiob ene o.”
So take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job, and you shall offer a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray on your behalf and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your foolishness, because you have not told the truth about me, as my servant Job did.”
9 Ale Temanitɔ, Elifaz, Suhitɔ, Bildad kple Naamatitɔ, Zofar wɔ abe ale si Yehowa de see na wo ene eye Yehowa xɔ Hiob ƒe gbe si wòdo ɖa ɖe wo ta.
So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite did what the Lord commanded them, and the Lord accepted Job's prayer.
10 Esi Hiob do gbe ɖa ɖe exɔlɔ̃awo ta vɔ la, Yehowa gawɔe kesinɔtɔe abe tsã ene eye wòdzi eƒe kesinɔnuwo ɖe edzi nɛ zi eve wu tsã.
The Lord restored Job's prosperity when he prayed for his friends, and gave him twice as much as he had before.
11 Nɔviŋutsuwo kple nɔvia nyɔnuwo katã kple eƒe ame nyanyɛwo katã va egbɔ eye woɖu nu kplii le eƒe aƒe me. Wofa akɔ nɛ, hede dzi ƒo nɛ ɖe dzɔgbevɔ̃e siwo Yehowa he va edzii la ta eye wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe na klosaloga kple sikasigɛe.
Then all his brothers and sisters and friends he'd previously known came and ate with him at his home. They showed him sympathy and comforted him because of all the trouble the Lord had caused him. Each one of them gave him money and a gold ring.
12 Yehowa yra Hiob fifia wu tsã. Alẽ akpe wuiene, kposɔ akpe ade, agbleŋlɔnyi eve, eve teƒe akpe ɖeka kple tedzi akpe ɖeka nɔ esi.
The Lord blessed the last part of Job's life more than the first part. Now he owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 teams of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.
13 Viŋutsu adre kple vinyɔnu etɔ̃ hã nɔ esi.
Job also had seven sons and three daughters.
14 Ena ŋkɔ nyɔnuvi gbãtɔ be, Yemima, evelia be, Kezia eye etɔ̃lia be Keren Hapuk.
Job called the first daughter Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-Happuch.
15 Womegakpɔ nyɔnu aɖeke le anyigba blibo la dzi wòdze tugbe de Hiob ƒe vinyɔnuwo nu o. Wo fofo na domenyinu wo ɖe wo nɔviŋutsuwo xa.
Nowhere in all the land were there women as beautiful as Job's daughters, and Job gave them the same inheritance as their brothers.
16 Le esia megbe la, Hiob nɔ agbe ƒe alafa ɖeka kple blaene eye wòkpɔ viawo kple woƒe viwo ƒe dzidzime ene sɔŋ.
Job lived 140 years after this, seeing his children, and grandchildren, in fact four generations.
17 Ale Hiob tsi, nɔ agbe wòde edeƒe hafi ku.
Then Job died at an old age, having lived a very full life.
