Joba 42
1 Natoi’ Iobe amy zao t’Iehovà,
Then Job answered the Lord.
2 Fantako te kila lefe’o, le tsy azo sebañeñe ze safiri’o.
“I know you can do anything. No one can prevent you doing what you want.
3 Hoe irehe: Ia ze o mañeta-panoroañe tsy aman-kilala zao? Toe nivolañeko ty tsy nirendreko, o raha loho mandikoatse ahy, tsy napotako.
You asked, ‘Who is this who questions my wisdom by talking so ignorantly?’ I was speaking about things I didn't understand—things too wonderful for me to know.
4 Ehe janjiño, [hoe irehe, ] le hivolan-draho, hañontaneako vaho ho toiñe’o.
You told me, ‘Listen to me, I am going to speak. I am going to question you, and you must answer me.’
5 Toe nahatsanoñe ty ama’o raho am-pijanjiñan-dravembia, fe mahatrea Azo o masokoo henaneo;
Before, I had only heard about you, but now I've seen you for myself.
6 Aa le hejeko ty troko vaho misoloho an-deboke naho lavenoke.
That is why I'm sorry for what I said, and I repent in dust and ashes.”
7 Ie fa nilañone’ Iehovà am’ Iobe i tsara rezay, le hoe t’Iehovà amy Elifaze nte-Temane: Miforoforo ama’o naho amo rañe’o roe reo ty haboseko; amy te tsy nitaroña’ areo ty hatò, manahake ty nanoem-pitoroko Iobe.
After the Lord had finished speaking to Job he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with you and your two friends because you have not told the truth about me, as my servant Job did.
8 Aa le andrambeso bania fito naho añondrilahy fito, le miheova mb’amy Iobe mpitoroko mb’eo naho mañengà soroñe ho anahareo; le hihalalia’ Iobe mpitoroko naho ho noko i halali’ey vaho tsy hanoeko ama’ areo ty mañeva i hanè’ areoy; amy t’ie tsy nilañoñe ahy an-katò, manahake ty nanoe’ i mpitoroko Iobey.
So take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job, and you shall offer a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray on your behalf and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your foolishness, because you have not told the truth about me, as my servant Job did.”
9 Aa le nimb’eo t’i Elifaze nte-Temane naho i Bildade nte Sohy naho i Tsofare nte-Naamà le nanoe’ iereo i tsinara’ Iehovà am’ iereoy; le ninò’ Iehovà ty halali’ Iobe.
So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite did what the Lord commanded them, and the Lord accepted Job's prayer.
10 Aa le nampoli’ Iehovà o vara’ Iobeo, ie nihalaly ho a i rañe’e rey; vaho natolo’ Iehovà am’ Iobe indroe’ ty nanaña’e taolo.
The Lord restored Job's prosperity when he prayed for his friends, and gave him twice as much as he had before.
11 Nomb’ ama’e mb’eo amy zao o rahalahi’e iabio naho o rahavave’e iabio naho ze hene nahafohiñe aze taolo vaho nitrao-pikama ama’e añ’ anjomba’e ao; nitretreze’ iareo vaho nañohò aze amo fonga haoreañe nafetsa’ Iehovà ama’eo; vaho songa nanolotse ty bogady ama’e naho ty bange volamena.
Then all his brothers and sisters and friends he'd previously known came and ate with him at his home. They showed him sympathy and comforted him because of all the trouble the Lord had caused him. Each one of them gave him money and a gold ring.
12 Nitahie’ Iehovà o figadoñan’ andro’ Iobeo mandikoatse te amy nifotora’ey; ie nanañ’ añondry rai-ale tsy efats’ arivo naho rameva eneñ’ arivo naho katràka mpiharo-bao arivo vaho borìke-vave arivo.
The Lord blessed the last part of Job's life more than the first part. Now he owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 teams of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.
13 Nanañ’ anadahy fito re naho anak’ ampela telo.
Job also had seven sons and three daughters.
14 Natao’e Iemimae ty añara’ i valoha’ey naho Keziae ty faharoe vaho Keren-Kapokee ty fahatelo.
Job called the first daughter Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-Happuch.
15 Tsy nañirinkiriñeñe amy tane iabiy ty hamozohozo’ i anak’ ampela’ Iobe rey vaho songa tinolon-drae’e lova miharo amo ana-dahi’eo.
Nowhere in all the land were there women as beautiful as Job's daughters, and Job gave them the same inheritance as their brothers.
16 Ie añe, mbe niveloñe zato-tsy-efapolo taoñe t’Iobe vaho niisa’e o ana’eo naho o zafe’eo pak’an-tariratse fah’efafatse.
Job lived 140 years after this, seeing his children, and grandchildren, in fact four generations.
17 Aa le nivilasy t’Iobe, androanavy bey, lifots’ andro.
Then Job died at an old age, having lived a very full life.
