< Siope 42 >

1 Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Siope kia Sihova, ʻo ne pehē,
Then Job replied to Yahweh. [He said],
2 “ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻoku ke faʻa fai ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha mahalo ʻe faʻa puli meiate koe.
“I know that you can do everything and that no one can stop you from doing what you want to do.
3 ‘Ko hai ia ʻoku ne fufū ʻae fakakaukau ʻi he taʻeʻilo?’ Ko ia, kuo u puʻaki ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloʻi; ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi hake fau ʻiate au, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloa.
[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 ‘ʻOku ou kole kiate koe ke ke fanongo mai, pea te u lea: te u ʻeke kiate koe, pea ke fakahā mai kiate au.’
You said to me, ‘Listen while I talk to you. I want to ask you some questions, so prepare yourself to answer them.’
5 Kuo u fanongo kiate koe ʻi he fanongo ʻoe telinga: ka ko eni kuo mamata ʻe hoku mata kiate koe.
I had heard about you previously, but now [it is as though] I have seen you with my own eyes.
6 Ko ia ʻoku ou fehiʻa ai kiate au, ʻo fakatomala ʻi he efu mo e efuefu.”
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 Pea naʻe pehē, hili ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni kia Siope, “Naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Elifasi mei Timani, Kuo tupu hoku houhau kiate koe, mo ho kāinga ʻe toko ua: he ʻoku ʻikai te mou lea ʻaki kiate au ʻae meʻa ʻoku totonu, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Siope.
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 Ko ia ke mou toʻo ni kiate kimoutolu ʻae fanga pulu ʻe fitu, mo e sipitangata ʻe fitu, ʻo ʻalu ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Siope, pea ʻohake ʻae feilaulau tutu koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu; pea ʻe hūfia ʻakimoutolu ʻe heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Siope: he te u maʻu ia: telia naʻaku taaʻi kiate kimoutolu ʻo hangē ko hoʻomou vale, ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te mou lea ʻaki kiate au ʻaia ʻoku totonu, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Siope.”
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 Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Elifasi mei Timani, mo Pilitati mei Suaa, mo Sofaa mei Neama, ʻonau fai ʻo hangē ko e fekau ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu: pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Sihova ʻa Siope foki.
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 Pea naʻe liliu ʻe Sihova ʻae pōpula ʻo Siope, ʻi heʻene hūfia hono kāinga: pea naʻe fakamaʻumeʻa ʻe Sihova kia Siope ʻo liunga ua hake ʻi he meʻa naʻa ne maʻu ʻi muʻa.
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 Pea naʻe toki haʻu kiate ia ʻa hono ngaahi kāinga kotoa pē, mo hono ngaahi tuofefine, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻa nau kaumeʻa mo ia ʻi muʻa, ʻonau kai mā mo ia ʻi hono fale: pea naʻa nau tēngihia ia, ʻo fakafiemālie ia ʻi he ngaahi kovi kotoa pē naʻe ʻomi ʻe Sihova kiate ia: pea naʻe foaki ʻe he tangata taki taha kotoa pē kiate ia ʻae paʻanga, mo e hau koula.
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 Pea naʻe tāpuaki lahi hake ʻe Sihova ʻae moʻui kimui ʻa Siope ʻi heʻene moʻui ki muʻa: he naʻa ne maʻu ʻae sipi ʻe taha mano ma fā afe, mo e kāmeli ʻe ono afe, mo e fanga pulu taulua ʻe taha afe, mo e ʻasi fefine ʻe taha afe.
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 Pea naʻa ne maʻu foki ʻae foha ʻe toko fitu mo e ʻofefine ʻe toko tolu.
And he also had seven [more] sons and three [more] daughters.
14 Pea naʻa ne ui ʻae hingoa ʻoe ʻuluaki, ko Simaima, mo e hingoa ʻo hono toko ua, ko Kesaia, mo e hingoa ʻo hono toko tolu, ko Keleni-Hapuka.
He named the first daughter Jemimah, he named the second daughter Keziah, and he named the third daughter Keren-Happuch.
15 Pea naʻe ʻikai ʻilo ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ha kau fefine hoihoifua ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Siope: pea naʻe foaki ʻae tofiʻa kiate kinautolu ʻe heʻenau tamai ʻi he fakataha mo honau ngaahi tuongaʻane.
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 Pea hili ʻae meʻa ni naʻe moʻui ʻa Siope ʻi he taʻu ʻe teau ma fāngofulu, ʻo ne mamata ki hono ngaahi foha, mo e ngaahi foha ʻo hono ngaahi foha, ʻio, ko e toʻutangata ʻe fā.
After that, Job lived 140 more years. Before he died, he (saw/enjoyed being with) his great-great-grandchildren.
17 Pea naʻe pekia ʻa Siope, kuo motuʻa mo fonu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho.
He was very old [DOU] when he died.
