Hiob 42
1 Na Hiob buaa Awurade se,
And Job answereth Jehovah and saith: —
2 “Minim sɛ wutumi yɛ nneɛma nyinaa; obiara rentumi nsɛe wo nhyehyɛe.
Thou hast known that [for] all things Thou art able, And not withheld from Thee is [any] device:
3 Wubisa se, ‘Hena ni a onni nimdeɛ nso osiw mʼafotu ho kwan?’ Ampa ara mekaa nneɛma a mente ase no ho nsɛm, nneɛma a ɛyɛ nwonwa ma me.
'Who [is] this, hiding counsel without knowledge?' Therefore, I have declared, and understand not, Too wonderful for me, and I know not.
4 “Wokae se, ‘Tie na menkasa; mebisa wo nsɛm na ɛsɛ sɛ woma me mmuae.’
'Hear, I pray thee, and I — I do speak, I ask thee, and cause thou me to know.'
5 Mate wo nka pɛn, na mprempren de, mʼani ahu wo.
By the hearing of the ear I heard Thee, And now mine eye hath seen Thee.
6 Ɛno nti mibu me ho animtiaa na mete mfutuma ne nsõ mu de kyerɛ mʼahonu.”
Therefore do I loathe [it], And I have repented on dust and ashes.
7 Na Awurade kaa nsɛm yi kyerɛɛ Hiob wiei no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Temanni Elifas se, “Me bo afuw wo ne wo nnamfonom baanu no, efisɛ moanka me ho asɛm a ɛyɛ nokware sɛnea me somfo Hiob kae no.
And it cometh to pass after Jehovah's speaking these words unto Job, that Jehovah saith unto Eliphaz the Temanite, 'Burned hath Mine anger against thee, and against thy two friends, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job.
8 Afei, momfa anantwi ason ne adwennini ason, na monkɔ me somfo Hiob nkyɛn, na monkɔbɔ ɔhyew afɔre mma mo ho. Me somfo Hiob bɛbɔ mpae ama mo, na metie ne mpaebɔ no na merenyɛ mo sɛnea ɛfata mo nkwaseasɛm no, nsɛm a moka faa me ho no nyɛ nokware sɛnea me somfo Hiob yɛe no.”
And now, take to you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go ye unto My servant Job, and ye have caused a burnt-offering to ascend for you; and Job My servant doth pray for you, for surely his face I accept, so as not to do with you folly, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job.
9 Enti Temanni Elifas ne Suhini Bildad ne Naamani Sofar yɛɛ sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ wɔn no; na Awurade tiee Hiob mpaebɔ.
And they go — Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, Zophar the Naamathite — and do as Jehovah hath spoken unto them; and Jehovah doth accept the face of Job.
10 Hiob bɔɔ mpae maa ne nnamfonom akyi no, Awurade san yɛɛ no ɔdefo bio na ɔde nʼahode a na ɔwɔ kan no mmɔho abien maa no.
And Jehovah hath turned [to] the captivity of Job in his praying for his friends, and Jehovah doth add [to] all that Job hath — to double.
11 Afei, ne nuabarimanom, ne nuabeanom nyinaa ne obiara a na onim no dedaw no baa ne fi ne no bedidii. Wɔkyekyee ne werɛ wɔ amanehunu a Awurade ma ɔkɔɔ mu no ho, na wɔn mu biara brɛɛ no dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ kaa.
And come unto him do all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and they eat bread with him in his house, and bemoan him, and comfort him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him, and they gave to him each one kesitah, and each one ring of gold.
12 Awurade hyiraa Hiob nkwa awiei sen ne mfiase. Onyaa nguan mpem dunan, yoma mpem asia, anantwinini mpamho apem ne mfurum abere apem.
And Jehovah hath blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning, and he hath fourteen thousand of a flock, and six thousand camels, and a thousand pairs of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.
13 Bio onyaa mmabarima baason ne mmabea baasa.
And he hath seven sons and three daughters;
14 Ɔtoo ne babea piesie no din Yemima, na nea odi so no Kesia na nea ɔto so abiɛsa no de Keren-Hapuk.
and he calleth the name of the one Jemima, and the name of the second Kezia, and the name of the third Keren-Happuch.
15 Asase no so nyinaa, na mmaa biara nni hɔ a wɔn ho yɛ fɛ sɛ Hiob mmabea no, na wɔn agya de wɔn kaa wɔn nuabarimanom no ho maa wɔn agyapade.
And there have not been found women fair as the daughters of Job in all the land, and their father doth give to them an inheritance in the midst of their brethren.
16 Eyi akyi no, Hiob dii mfirihyia ɔha aduanan; ohuu ne mma ne ne nenanom awo ntoatoaso anan.
And Job liveth after this a hundred and forty years, and seeth his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations;
17 Afei owui a na wabɔ akwakoraa pa ara.
and Job dieth, aged and satisfied [with] days.
