Job 42
1 Mgbe ahụ, Job zara Onyenwe anyị sị:
Then Job answered Jehovah, and said:
2 “Amara m na ị pụrụ ime ihe niile; ọ dịghị atụmatụ gị nke a pụrụ ikposa.
I know that thou canst do every thing, And that no purpose of thine can be hindered.
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.
Who is he that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Thus have I uttered what I understood not; Things too wonderful for me, which I knew not:
4 “Ị sịrị, ‘Gee ntị ugbu a, aga m ekwu okwu; m ga-ajụ gị ajụjụ, gị onwe gị ga-azakwa m.’
Hear thou, then, I beseech thee, and I will speak! I will ask thee, and do thou instruct me!
5 Ntị m nụrụ ihe banyere gị ma ugbu a, ejirila m anya abụọ hụ gị.
I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; But now hath mine eye seen thee.
6 Ya mere, ana m akpọ onwe m asị, na echegharịkwa nʼime ntụ na uzuzu.”
Wherefore I abhor myself, And repent in 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 when Jehovah had spoken these words unto Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite: “My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken concerning me that which is right, as hath my servant Job.
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.”
Take ye, therefore, seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer for yourselves a burnt-offering, and my servant Job shall pray for you; for to him alone will I have regard; that I deal not with you according to your folly. For ye have not spoken concerning me that which is right, as hath 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 Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as Jehovah commanded them; and Jehovah had regard to 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 Jehovah turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends, and Jehovah gave him twice as much as 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.
Then came to him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and ate bread with him in his house; and condoled with him, and comforted him over all the evil which Jehovah had brought upon him; and every one gave him a piece of money [[a kesita]], and every one a ring of 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.
Thus Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than the beginning; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.
13 Chineke mekwara ka ọ mụta ụmụ ndị ikom asaa, na ụmụ ndị inyom atọ ọzọ.
He had also 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 name of the first Jemima, of the second Kezia, and of the third Kerenhappuch.
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 in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job; 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 this a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
17 Job nwụrụ mgbe o mere ezigbo agadi, ụbọchị ndụ ya jukwara ya afọ.
Then Job died, being old and satisfied with days.
