Job 42

1 Na Job el topuk LEUM GOD ac fahk,

Then Job replied to Yahweh. [He said],

2 “LEUM GOD, nga etu lah ku nukewa oasr sum, Ac kom ku in oru ma nukewa kom lungse.

“I know that you can do everything and that no one can stop you from doing what you want to do.

3 Kom siyuk lah fuka tuh nga kusen siyuk ke lalmwetmet lom Ke wangin ma nga etu. Nga tuh kaskas ke ma su nga tia kalem kac, Ke ma usrnguk su yoklala nu sik in etu kac.

[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 Kom tuh fahk mu nga in porongo ke kom ac sramsram, Ac in srike in topuk mwe siyuk lom uh.

You said to me, ‘Listen while I talk to you. I want to ask you some questions, so prepare yourself to answer them.’

5 In pacl meet ah, ma na mwet uh fahk nu sik pa nga etu uh, Tuh pa inge, nga liye kom ke mutuk sifacna.

I had heard about you previously, but now [it is as though] I have seen you with my own eyes.

6 Ke ma inge nga arulana mwekin ke ma nukewa nga tuh fahk ah, Ac nga akkalemye auli luk ke nga muta inmasrlon kutkut ac apat.”

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 Tukun LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sel Job tari, na El fahk nu sel Eliphaz, “Nga toasr sum ac sin mwet kawuk luo lom ingan, mweyen komtal tia fahk kas pwaye keik, oana ke Job, mwet kulansap luk, el oru.

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 Inge, kom fahla ac us itkosr cow mukul ac itkosr sheep mukul an nu yorol Job, ac sang nu sel in mwe kisa lomtal nu sel. Job el ac fah pre keimtal, na nga fah lohng pre lal, ac tia aklusrongtenye komtal oana ma fal in orek nu sumtal. Komtal tuh tia fahk ma pwaye keik oana ke el oru ah.”

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 Eliphaz, Bildad, ac Zophar oru ma LEUM GOD El fahk eltal in oru ah, na LEUM GOD El lohng pre lal Job.

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 Na tukun Job el pre ke kawuk tolu lal ah, LEUM GOD El sifilpa folokonang mwe kasrup lal in pacl luo yohk liki meet ah.

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 Mwet lel Job ac mwet loul, wi mwet kawuk lal nukewa meet, elos tuku nu yorol Job ac welul orek kufwa in lohm sel ah. Elos fahk kas in akwoyal ac akkalemye pakomuta lalos, ke ma nukewa LEUM GOD El tuh akkeokyal kac. Kais sie selos sang mani ac ring gold se nu sel.

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 LEUM GOD El akinsewowoye tafun moul lal Job tok yohk liki na tafun moul lal meet ah. Oasr tausin singoul akosr sheep, tausin onkosr camel, tausin luo cow, ac tausin se ke donkey natul.

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 Oayapa oasr wen itkosr ac acn tolu sasu natul.

And he also had seven [more] sons and three [more] daughters.

14 El sang inen mutan se ma matu ah Jemimah, ac acn se akluo ah pa Keziah, ac acn se ma srik ah Keren Happuch.

He named the first daughter Jemimah, he named the second daughter Keziah, and he named the third daughter Keren-Happuch.

15 Wangin mutan fin faclu nufon kato oana acn natul Job inge. Papa tumaltal el tuh sang mwe usru laltal oapana ke el oru nu sin mukul natul ah.

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 Tukun ma inge, Job el tuh sifil moul ke lusen yac siofok angngaul, ac lusen pacl se inge oru el ku in liye fwilin tulik nutin natul, oayapa nutin nutin natul.

After that, Job lived 140 more years. Before he died, he (saw/enjoyed being with) his great-great-grandchildren.

17 Na el misa ke el arulana matuoh.

He was very old [DOU] when he died.
