Hiob 42
1 Tete Hiob ɖo eŋu na Yehowa be:
And Job answers YHWH and says:
2 “Azɔ menya be àte ŋu awɔ nu sia nu, ame aɖeke mate ŋu agblẽ wò ɖoɖowo me o.
“You have known that [for] all things You are able, And no purpose is withheld from You.
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 said], Who [is] this hiding counsel without knowledge? Therefore, I have declared, and do not understand, Too wonderful for me, and I do not know.
4 “Ègblɔ be, ‘Ɖo to azɔ, ne maƒo nu, ne mabia gbe wò, ne nàɖo eŋu nam.’
Please hear, and I speak; [You said], I ask you, and you cause Me to know.
5 Nye towo se nya le ŋuwò, ke azɔ la, nye ŋkuwo kpɔ wò
By the hearing of the ear I heard You, And now my eye has seen You.
6 eya ta nu siwo katã megblɔ la kpe ŋu nam eye megbe wo le ke kple afi me.”
Therefore I loathe [it], And I have sighed on 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
And it comes to pass after YHWH’s speaking these words to Job, that YHWH says to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My anger has burned against you and against your two friends, because you have not spoken correctly concerning Me, like My servant Job.
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.”
And now, take seven bullocks and seven rams for yourselves, and go to My servant Job, and you have caused a burnt-offering to ascend for yourselves; and Job My servant prays for you, for surely I accept his face, so as not to do folly with you, because you have not spoken correctly concerning Me, like My servant Job.”
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.
And they go—Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, Zophar the Naamathite—and do as YHWH has spoken to them; and YHWH accepts the face of Job.
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.
And YHWH has turned [to] the captivity of Job in his praying for his friends, and YHWH adds [to] all that Job has—to double.
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.
And all his brothers come to him, and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and they eat bread with him in his house, and bemoan him, and comfort him concerning all the calamity that YHWH had brought on him, and they each gave to him one kesitah, and each one ring of gold.
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.
And YHWH has blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning, and he has fourteen thousand of a flock, and six thousand camels, and one thousand pairs of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.
13 Viŋutsu adre kple vinyɔnu etɔ̃ hã nɔ esi.
And he has seven sons and three daughters;
14 Ena ŋkɔ nyɔnuvi gbãtɔ be, Yemima, evelia be, Kezia eye etɔ̃lia be Keren Hapuk.
and he calls the name of the first Jemima, and the name of the second Kezia, and the name of 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.
And there have not been found women [as] beautiful as the daughters of Job in all the land, and their father gives to them an inheritance in the midst of 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.
And Job lives after this one hundred and forty years, and sees his sons, and his sons’ sons, four generations;
17 Ale Hiob tsi, nɔ agbe wòde edeƒe hafi ku.
and Job dies, aged and satisfied [with] days.
