Yobo 42
1 Yobo azongiselaki Yawe:
Then answered Job unto the Lord, and said,
2 « Nayebi ete okoki kosala makambo nyonso; eloko moko te ekoki kotelemela mabongisi na Yo.
I acknowledge that thou art able to do every thing, and that no deep plan of thine can be restrained.
3 Olobaki: ‹ Nani akoki komema molili na mabongisi na Ngai, na nzela ya maloba na ye, oyo ezanga tina? › Solo, nazalaki kolobela makambo oyo nayebaki te, makambo ya kokamwa penza mpo na ngai, makambo oyo nasosolaki te.
Who is he that dareth to conceal [thy] counsel without knowledge? Truly I have spoken of what I understood not, of things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4 Olobaki na ngai: ‹ Yaka sik’oyo, nalingi koloba; nalingi kotuna yo motuna, bongo okopesa ngai eyano. ›
Oh do but hear [me], and I will indeed speak: I will ask of thee, and do thou inform me.
5 Matoyi na ngai eyokaki makambo oyo bazalaki koloba na tina na Yo; kasi sik’oyo, miso na ngai emoni Yo.
I had only heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye hath seen thee.
6 Yango wana, ngai moko, nazali komiyokela mawa mpe namileli, namikitisi kino na putulu ya mabele mpe na putulu ya moto. »
Therefore I reject [what I have said], and repent; because I am dust and ashes.
7 Sima na Yawe koloba makambo oyo epai ya Yobo, alobaki na Elifazi, moto ya Temani: « Kanda na Ngai engaleli yo mpe baninga na yo mibale, pamba te bolobi na bosembo te na tina na Ngai, ndenge Yobo, mosali na Ngai, alobaki.
And it came to pass, after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Themanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; because ye have not spoken of me properly, like my servant Job.
8 Kasi sik’oyo, bokamata bangombe sambo ya mibali mpe bameme sambo ya mibali; bokende epai ya Yobo, mosali na Ngai, botumba mbeka mpo na bino moko. Yobo, mosali na Ngai, akobondela mpo na bino; mpe mpo na kondima na ye, nakoyamba libondeli na ye mpo ete nasalela bino te kolanda bozoba na bino. Pamba te bolobi na bosembo te na tina na Ngai, ndenge Yobo, mosali na Ngai, alobaki. »
And now take unto yourselves seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up a burnt-offering in your behalf; and my servant Job shall pray for you; for him alone will I receive favorably, so as not to deal with you after your folly; because ye have not spoken of me properly, like my servant Job.
9 Boye Elifazi, moto ya Temani; Bilidadi, moto ya Shuwa, mpe Tsofari, moto ya Naama, basalaki makambo oyo Yawe atindaki bango kosala; mpe Yawe ayambaki libondeli ya Yobo.
Then went Eliphaz the Themanite and Bildad the Shuchite and Zophar the Na'amathite, and did in accordance with what the Lord had spoken to them: and the Lord received Job in favor.
10 Sima na Yobo kosambela mpo na baninga na ye, Yawe atalisaki ye lisusu bolamu mpe apesaki ye bomengo mbala mibale koleka oyo azalaki na yango liboso.
And the Lord brought back the captivity of Job, when he prayed in behalf of his friends; and the Lord increased all that Job had had twofold.
11 Bandeko na ye nyonso ya mibali mpe ya basi, elongo na bato nyonso oyo bayebaki ye liboso, bayaki mpe baliaki na ye elongo kati na ndako na ye; bakabolaki na ye mawa mpe balendisaki ye na tina na pasi nyonso oyo Yawe atindelaki ye, mpe moko na moko kati na bango apesaki ye mbongo moko ya ebende ya palata mpe lopete moko ya wolo.
And then came unto him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all that had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house; and they condoled with him, and comforted him for all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him; and they gave him, every one, a kessitah, and every one an earring of gold.
12 Yawe apambolaki suka ya Yobo koleka ebandeli ya bomoi na ye. Azalaki na bameme nkoto zomi na minei, bashamo nkoto motoba, bangombe nkoto mibale mpe ba-ane nkoto moko.
And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: and he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.
13 Azalaki na bana mibali sambo mpe bana basi misato.
He had also seven sons and three daughters.
14 Mwana na ye ya liboso ya mwasi, Yemima; ya mibale, Ketsia; mpe ya misato, Kereni-Apuki.
And he called the name of the first Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
15 Kati na mokili mobimba, ezalaki te na basi kitoko koleka bana basi ya Yobo. Tata na bango apesaki bango libula ndenge moko na bandeko na bango ya mibali.
And there were not found such handsome women as the daughters of Job in all the land; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.
16 Sima na yango, Yobo awumelaki lisusu na bomoi mibu nkama moko na tuku minei; amonaki bana na ye mpe bakitani na ye kino na molongo ya minei.
And Job lived after this one hundred and forty years: and he saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
17 Mpe Yobo akufaki na kimobange makasi mpe atondaki na mikolo.
Then died Job, being old and full of days.
