< Hopa 42 >

1 A no ra ko Hopa ki a Ihowa; i mea ia,
Then Job answered and said to the Lord,
2 E mohio ana ahau e taea e koe nga mea katoa, a e kore tetahi whakaaro ou e taea te pehi.
I know that you can do all things, and nothing is impossible with you.
3 Ko wai tenei e huna nei i te whakaaro, a kahore nei he matauranga? No reira korerotia ana e ahau he mea kihai i mohiotia e ahau, he mea whakamiharo rawa, e kore nei e taea e ahau, a kihai i mohiotia e ahau.
For who is he that hides counsel from you? or who keeps back his words, and thinks to hide them from you? and who will tell me what I knew not, great and wonderful things which I understood not?
4 Tena ra, whakarongo, a ka korero ahau; ka ui ahau ki a koe, a mau e whakaatu mai ki ahau.
But hear me, O Lord, that I also may speak: and I will ask you, and do you teach me.
5 I rongo ahau ki a koe, he rongo na te taringa; tena ko tenei, ka kite a kanohi nei ahau i a koe,
I have heard the report of you by the ear before; but now mine eye has seen you.
6 Na whakarihariha ana ahau ki ahau ano, a ka ripeneta i roto i te puehu, i te pungarehu.
Therefore I have counted myself vile, and have fainted: and I esteem myself dust and ashes.
7 Heoi i te mutunga o ta Ihowa korero i enei kupu ki a Hopa, na ka mea a Ihowa ki a Eripata Temani, Kua mura toku riri ki a koe, ki a koutou ko ou hoa tokorua: no te mea kihai koutou i korero i te mea tika moku, kihai i rite ki ta taku pononga, ki ta Hopa.
And it came to pass after the Lord had spoken all these words to Job, [that] the Lord said to Eliphaz the Thaemanite, You have sinned, and your two friends: for you have not said anything true before me, as my servant Job [has].
8 Na tikina etahi puru ma koutou kia whitu, kia whitu hoki nga hipi toa, a ka haere ki taku pononga, ki a Hopa, ka whakaeke ai i etahi tahunga tinana ma koutou; a ma taku pononga, ma Hopa, e inoi mo koutou; ka manako hoki ahau ki a ia, kia kore ai ahau e mea ki a koutou kia rite ki ta koutou mahi wairangi; kihai hoki koutou i korero i te mea tika moku, kihai i rite ki ta taku pononga, ki to Hopa.
Now then take seven bullocks, and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and he shall offer a burnt offering for you. And my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will only accept him: for but his sake, I would have destroyed you, for you have not spoken the truth against my servant Job.
9 Heoi haere ana a Eripata Temani, a Pirirara Huhi, a Topara Naamati, a meatia ana e ratou ta Ihowa i korero ai ki a ratou. A ka manako a Ihowa ki a Hopa.
So Eliphaz the Thaemanite, and Baldad the Sauchite, and Sophar the Minaean, went and did as the Lord commanded them: and he pardoned their sin for the sake of Job.
10 A whakahokia ana a Hopa e Ihowa i te whakarau, i a ia i inoi ra mo ona hoa. Na, ko nga mea katoa i a Hopa i mua, whakanekehia ake ana e Ihowa kia pera atu ano te maha.
And the Lord prospered Job: and when he prayed also for his friends, he forgave them [their] sin: and the Lord gave Job twice as much, even the double of what he had before.
11 Katahi ka haere mai ona tuakana, ona teina katoa, ratou ko ona tuahine katoa, me te hunga katoa i mohio ki a ia i mua, hei hoa mona, ki te kai taro i roto i tona whare: tangi ana ki a ia, whakamarie ana i a ia mo te he katoa i whakaekea nei e Ih owa ki a ia; a homai ana ki a ia e tenei, e tenei, tetahi moni me tetahi whakakai koura.
And all his brethren and his sisters heard all that had happened to him, and they came to him, and [so did] all that had known him from the first: and they ate and drank with him, and comforted him, and wondered at all that the Lord had brought upon him: and each one gave him a lamb, and four drachmas' weight of gold, even of unstamped [gold].
12 Heoi manaakitia ana a Hopa e Ihowa i te whakamutunga, nui atu i to te timatanga; a kotahi tekau ma wha mano ana hipi, e ono mano nga kamera, kotahi mano topu nga kau, kotahi mano nga kaihe uha.
And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job, [more] than the beginning: and his cattle were fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, a thousand she-asses of the pastures.
13 Tokowhitu ano ana tama, tokotoru nga tamahine.
And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
14 A tapa iho e ia te ingoa o te tuatahi ko Hemaima, ko te ingoa o te tuarua ko Ketia, a ko te ingoa o te tuatoru ko Kerenehapuku.
And he called the first Day, and the second Casia, and the third Amalthaea's horn.
15 A kihai i kitea he wahine hei rite mo nga tamahine a Hopa te ataahua i te whenua katoa; a i hoatu hoki e to ratou papa he wahi mo ratou i waenganui i o ratou tungane.
And there were not found in comparison with the daughters of Job, fairer [women] than they in all the world: and their father gave them an inheritance among their brethren.
16 A i ora a Hopa i muri i tenei kotahi rau e wha tekau nga tau, i kite ano ia i ana tamariki, i nga tamariki ano hoki a ana tamariki, e wha nga whakatupuranga.
And Job lived after [his] affliction a hundred and seventy years: and all the years he lived were two hundred and forty: and Job saw his sons and his sons' sons, the fourth generation.
17 Heoi ka mate a Hopa, he koreheke, he maha hoki ona ra.
And Job died, an old man and full of days.
