Joba 42
1 Ary Joba dia namaly an’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe:
Then Job replied to Yahweh. [He said],
2 Fantatro fa hainao avokoa ny zavatra rehetra, ary tsy azo ferana ny fisainanao.
“I know that you can do everything and that no one can stop you from doing what you want to do.
3 Iza no mahatakona ny fisainanao amin’ ny tsi-fahalalana? Koa dia nilaza izay tsy fantatro aho, dia zava-mahagaga loatra amiko, izay tsy takatry ny saiko.
[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 Mifona aminao aho, mihainoa, fa hiteny aho; Hanontany Anao aho, ka ampahafantaro.
You said to me, ‘Listen while I talk to you. I want to ask you some questions, so prepare yourself to answer them.’
5 Fandrenesan’ ny sofina ihany no nandrenesako Anao; Fa ankehitriny izao kosa dia ny masoko no mahita Anao;
I had heard about you previously, but now [it is as though] I have seen you with my own eyes.
6 Koa dia miaiky sy mibebaka Eto amin’ ny vovoka sy ny lavenona aho.
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 Ary rehefa voalazan’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Joba izany teny izany, dia hoy koa Izy tamin’ i Elifaza Temanita: Mirehitra aminao sy ny sakaizanao roa lahy ny fahatezerako satria tsy mba marina tahaka ny filàzan’ i Joba mpanompoko ny filàzanareo Ahy.
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 Koa ankehitriny makà vantotr’ ombilahy fito sy ondrilahy fito ho anareo, ary mankanesa ao amin’ i Joba mpanompoko, ka manatera fanatitra dorana ho anareo; ary Joba mpanompoko no hifona ho anareo, fa izy no hankasitrahako, fandrao hamaly anareo araka ny fahadalanareo Aho, satria tsy marina tahaka ny filàzan’ i Joba mpanompoko ny filàzanareo Ahy.
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 Dia nandeha Elifaza Temanita sy Bildada Sohita ary Zofara Namatita ka nanao araka izay nandidian’ i Jehovah azy; ary Jehovah dia nankasitraka an’ i Joba.
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 Ary Jehovah nampody ny fiadanan’ i Joba, raha nivavaka ho an’ ny sakaizany izy, ka dia nanome azy indroa toraka izay nananany fahiny Izy.
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 Dia avy ny rahalahiny rehetra sy ny anabaviny rehetra ary ny olona rehetra izay fantany fahiny ka nankao aminy ary niara-nihinana taminy tao an-tranony ary nitsapa alahelo sady nampionona azy noho ny fahoriana rehetra izay efa nahatran’ i Jehovah taminy; ary samy nanome azy vakim-bola iray avy sy kavim-bolamena iray avy izy rehetra.
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 Ary Jehovah nitahy ny niafaran’ i Joba mihoatra noho ny voalohany ka nanana ondry aman’ osy efatra arivo amby iray alina sy rameva enina arivo sy omby roa arivo ary borikivavy arivo izy.
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 Ary nanan-janaka fito lahy sy vavy telo koa izy,
And he also had seven [more] sons and three [more] daughters.
14 ka ny anaran’ ny zokiny nataony hoe Jemima, ary ny anaran’ ny manarakaraka Kezia, ary ny anaran’ ny faravavy Kerena-hapoka.
He named the first daughter Jemimah, he named the second daughter Keziah, and he named the third daughter Keren-Happuch.
15 Ary tsy nisy vehivavy tsara tarehy tahaka ny zanakavavin’ i Joba hita tany amin’ ny tany rehetra, ary niara-nomen-drainy lova tamin’ ny anadahiny izy.
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 Ary mbola velona efa-polo amby zato taona Joba taorian’ izany ka nahita ny zananilahy sy ny zafiny ka hatramin’ ny zafin-dohaliny aza.
After that, Job lived 140 more years. Before he died, he (saw/enjoyed being with) his great-great-grandchildren.
17 Dia maty Joba, rehefa tratrantitra ka ela niainana.
He was very old [DOU] when he died.
