Jòb 42
1 Men sa Jòb reponn Seyè a:
Then Job replied to Yahweh. [He 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 can do everything and that no one can stop you from doing what you want to do.
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.
[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.
4 Ou te mande m' pou m' koute sa w'ap di m', pou m' pare pou m' reponn ou.
You said to me, ‘Listen while I talk to you. I want to ask you some questions, so prepare yourself to answer them.’
5 Sa m' te konn sou ou a, se sa lòt moun te di m' ase. Koulye a, mwen wè ou ak je mwen.
I had heard about you previously, but now [it is as though] I have seen you with my own eyes.
6 Se konsa, mwen wete tou sa mwen te di. Mwen kouche sou sann ak nan pousyè, m'ap mande padon.
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].”
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.
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.
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.
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.”
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, Bildad, and Zophar did what Yahweh commanded them to do, and Yahweh did what Job requested him to do [for the three of them].
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
13 Li fè sèt pitit gason ak twa pitit fi.
And he also had seven [more] sons and three [more] daughters.
14 Li rele pi gran pitit fi a Jemina, dezyèm lan Kesya, twazyèm lan Kerèn apouk.
He named the first daughter Jemimah, he named the second daughter Keziah, and he named the third daughter Keren-Happuch.
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.
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.
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.
After that, Job lived 140 more years. Before he died, he (saw/enjoyed being with) his great-great-grandchildren.
17 Lè li mouri, li te fin vye granmoun, li te viv kont li.
He was very old [DOU] when he died.
