Jòb 42
1 Men sa Jòb reponn Seyè a:
Then Job, responding to the Lord, said:
2 -Mwen konnen, Seyè, ou gen tout pouvwa. W'ap fè tou sa ou mete nan tèt ou pou ou fè.
I know that you are able to do all things, and that no thoughts are hidden from you.
3 Ou mande kisa mwen ye menm pou m'ap poze keksyon sou plan travay ou, ak yon bann diskou ki pa vle di anyen. Mwen te louvri bouch mwen pale sou sa m' pa konprann, sou bèl bagay ki twò fò pou mwen.
So, who is it that would disguise a lack of knowledge as counsel? Therefore, I have been speaking foolishly, about things whose measure exceeds my knowledge.
4 Ou te mande m' pou m' koute sa w'ap di m', pou m' pare pou m' reponn ou.
Listen, and I will speak. I will question you, and you may answer me.
5 Sa m' te konn sou ou a, se sa lòt moun te di m' ase. Koulye a, mwen wè ou ak je mwen.
By paying attention with the ear, I have heard you, but now my eye sees you.
6 Se konsa, mwen wete tou sa mwen te di. Mwen kouche sou sann ak nan pousyè, m'ap mande padon.
Therefore, I find myself reprehensible, and I will do penance in embers and ashes.
7 Lè Seyè a fin pale konsa ak Jòb, li pale ak Elifaz, moun lavil Teman an. Li di l' konsa: -Mwen te fache sou ou ak sou de zanmi ou yo, paske sa nou di sou mwen an pa vre menm. Nou pa t' pale tankou Jòb, sèvitè m' lan.
But after the Lord had finished speaking these words to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Themanite: My wrath has been kindled against you, and against your two friends, because you have not been speaking correctly in my eyes, as my servant Job has done.
8 Atòkile, men sa pou nou fè: Pran sèt towo bèf ak sèt belye mouton. Al jwenn Jòb ak yo. N'a ofri yo pou nou, n'a boule yo nèt. Jòb li menm va lapriyè pou nou. M'a reponn li. Konsa, m'a fè pa nou. Mwen p'ap pini nou deske nou pa t' pale byen sou mwen, jan Jòb, sèvitè m' lan, te fè l' la.
Therefore, have seven bulls and seven rams brought to you, and go to my servant Job, and offer these as a holocaust for yourselves. But also, my servant Job will pray for you; I will accept his face, so that foolishness will not be imputed to you. For you have not been speaking correctly about me, as my servant Job has done.
9 Elifaz, moun lavil Teman an, Bildad, moun lavil Chwa a, ak Sofa, moun lavil Naama a, al fè tou sa Seyè a te di yo fè a. Seyè a fè tou sa Jòb te mande l' nan lapriyè a.
So Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Zophar the Naamathite departed, and they did just as the Lord had spoken to them, and the Lord accepted the face of Job.
10 Apre Jòb te fin lapriyè pou twa zanmi l' yo, Seyè a mete l' kanpe ankò. Tout zafè l' vin mache byen ankò. Lèfini, Seyè a ba li de fwa lavalè tou sa li te genyen anvan an.
Likewise, the Lord was moved by the repentance of Job, when he prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave to Job twice as much as he had before.
11 Tout frè ak sè l' yo ansanm ak tout ansyen zanmi l' yo vin wè li. Yo fè fèt avè l' lakay li. Yo fè l' konnen jan sa te fè kè yo mal pou li pou tout malè sa yo Seyè a te voye sou li. Yo fè l' pran kouraj. Yo chak yo fè l' kado yon pyès ajan ak yon bag lò.
Yet all his brethren came to him, and all his sisters, and everyone who had known him before, and they ate bread with him in his house. They also shook their heads over him and comforted him, because of all the bad things that God had inflicted on him. And each one of them gave him one female sheep, and one earring of gold.
12 Apre sa, Seyè a te beni Jòb plis pase jan li te fè l' anvan an. Jòb te vin genyen katòzmil (14.000) mouton, simil (6.000) chamo, demil (2.000) tèt bèf ak mil (1000) manman bourik.
And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job even more than his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand pairs of oxen, and a thousand she-donkeys.
13 Li fè sèt pitit gason ak twa pitit fi.
And he had seven sons and three daughters.
14 Li rele pi gran pitit fi a Jemina, dezyèm lan Kesya, twazyèm lan Kerèn apouk.
And he called the name of one, Daylight, and the name of the second, Cinnamon, and the name of the third, Horn of Cosmetics.
15 Nan tout peyi a pa t' gen pi bèl fanm pase twa pitit fi Jòb yo. Papa a te ba yo chak yon pòsyon nan byen l' yo ansanm ak frè yo.
And, in the whole world, there were not found women so beautiful as the daughters of Job. And so their father gave them an inheritance along with their brothers.
16 Apre sa, Jòb viv jouk li rive gen sankarantan sou tèt li. Li wè pitit pitit li yo ak pitit pitit pitit li yo, jouk rive sou kat jenerasyon.
But Job lived long after these events, for a hundred and forty years, and he saw his children, and his children’s children, all the way to the fourth generation,
17 Lè li mouri, li te fin vye granmoun, li te viv kont li.
and he died an old man and full of days.
