Job 42
1 Mgbe ahụ, Job zara Onyenwe anyị sị:
Then Job answered and said to the Lord,
2 “Amara m na ị pụrụ ime ihe niile; ọ dịghị atụmatụ gị nke a pụrụ ikposa.
I know that you can do all things, and nothing is impossible with you.
3 Ị jụrụ sị, ‘Onye bụ onye nke a ji okwu ihe ọmụma na-adịghị na ya na-eme ka atụmatụ m ghara ịpụta ihe?’ Nʼezie, ekwuru m banyere ihe ndị m na-aghọtaghị, ihe ndị dị oke ebube karịa m ịmata.
For who is he that hides counsel from you? or who keeps back his words, and thinks to hide them from you? and who will tell me what I knew not, great and wonderful things which I understood not?
4 “Ị sịrị, ‘Gee ntị ugbu a, aga m ekwu okwu; m ga-ajụ gị ajụjụ, gị onwe gị ga-azakwa m.’
But hear me, O Lord, that I also may speak: and I will ask you, and do you teach me.
5 Ntị m nụrụ ihe banyere gị ma ugbu a, ejirila m anya abụọ hụ gị.
I have heard the report of you by the ear before; but now mine eye has seen you.
6 Ya mere, ana m akpọ onwe m asị, na echegharịkwa nʼime ntụ na uzuzu.”
Therefore I have counted myself vile, and have fainted: and I esteem myself dust and ashes.
7 Mgbe Onyenwe anyị gwasịrị Job okwu, ọ tụgharịrị gwa Elifaz onye Teman okwu sị ya, “Ana m ewesa gị na ndị enyi gị abụọ iwe, nʼihi na ihe unu kwuru banyere m ezighị ezi dịka nke ohu m Job kwuru.
And it came to pass after the Lord had spoken all these words to Job, [that] the Lord said to Eliphaz the Thaemanite, You have sinned, and your two friends: for you have not said anything true before me, as my servant Job [has].
8 Ugbu a, werenụ oke ehi asaa na ebule asaa, jekwuru ohu m bụ Job ka o jiri ha chụọrọ unu aja nsure ọkụ, ohu m bụ Job ga-ekpekwara unu ekpere. Aga m anabatakwa ekpere ọ ga-ekpe nʼihi unu. Agaghị m alakwa unu nʼiyi nʼihi okwu nzuzu unu. Unu ekwughị ihe ziri ezi banyere m dịka ohu m Job si kwuo.”
Now then take seven bullocks, and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and he shall offer a burnt offering for you. And my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will only accept him: for but his sake, I would have destroyed you, for you have not spoken the truth against my servant Job.
9 Ya mere, Elifaz onye Teman, na Bildad, onye Shu, na Zofa, onye Naaman mere dịka Onyenwe anyị si nye ha nʼiwu. Onyenwe anyị nabatakwara ekpere nke Job kpere nʼihi ndị enyi ya.
So Eliphaz the Thaemanite, and Baldad the Sauchite, and Sophar the Minaean, went and did as the Lord commanded them: and he pardoned their sin for the sake of Job.
10 Mgbe Job kpesịrị ekpere maka ndị enyi ya, Onyenwe anyị mekwara ka ọ baa ụba ọzọ. O nyekwara ya okpukpo abụọ nke ihe niile o nwere na mbụ.
And the Lord prospered Job: and when he prayed also for his friends, he forgave them [their] sin: and the Lord gave Job twice as much, even the double of what he had before.
11 Mgbe ahụ, ụmụnne ya ndị ikom na ụmụnne ya ndị inyom, na ndị enyi ya niile bịara soro ya rie oriri nʼụlọ ya, na-akasị ya obi nʼihi iru ụjụ ya niile. Ha kasịkwara ya obi nʼihi ọnwụnwa niile Onyenwe anyị mere ka ọ bịakwasị ya. Ha niile nʼotu nʼotu nyere ya onyinye ọlaọcha na mgbaaka ọlaedo.
And all his brethren and his sisters heard all that had happened to him, and they came to him, and [so did] all that had known him from the first: and they ate and drank with him, and comforted him, and wondered at all that the Lord had brought upon him: and each one gave him a lamb, and four drachmas' weight of gold, even of unstamped [gold].
12 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị gọziri Job nʼoge ikpeazụ nke ndụ ya karịa ka o si gọzie ya na mbụ. Job nwere puku atụrụ iri na anọ na puku ịnyịnya kamel isii na puku ehi abụọ na otu puku ịnyịnya ibu.
And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job, [more] than the beginning: and his cattle were fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, a thousand she-asses of the pastures.
13 Chineke mekwara ka ọ mụta ụmụ ndị ikom asaa, na ụmụ ndị inyom atọ ọzọ.
And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
14 Ndị a bụ aha ụmụ ya ndị inyom: nke mbụ bụ Jimaịma, nke abụọ bụ Kezaya, ebe nke atọ bụ Kerin-Hapuk.
And he called the first Day, and the second Casia, and the third Amalthaea's horn.
15 Nʼala ahụ niile, o nweghị ụmụ agbọghọ mara mma dịka ụmụ ndị inyom Job ndị a. Job mekwara ka ha bụrụ ndị ga-eso ụmụ ya ndị ikom keta oke nʼihe niile o nwere.
And there were not found in comparison with the daughters of Job, fairer [women] than they in all the world: and their father gave them an inheritance among their brethren.
16 Job nọgidekwara ndụ narị afọ na iri afọ anọ ọzọ. Ọ hụrụ ụmụ ya, na ụmụ ha ruo ọgbọ nke anọ.
And Job lived after [his] affliction a hundred and seventy years: and all the years he lived were two hundred and forty: and Job saw his sons and his sons' sons, the fourth generation.
17 Job nwụrụ mgbe o mere ezigbo agadi, ụbọchị ndụ ya jukwara ya afọ.
And Job died, an old man and full of days.
