< Job 42 >

1 Then Job, responding to the Lord, said:
Pea naʻe toki tali ʻe Siope kia Sihova, ʻo ne pehē,
2 I know that you are able to do all things, and that no thoughts are hidden from you.
“ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻoku ke faʻa fai ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha mahalo ʻe faʻa puli meiate koe.
3 So, who is it that would disguise a lack of knowledge as counsel? Therefore, I have been speaking foolishly, about things whose measure exceeds my knowledge.
‘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.
4 Listen, and I will speak. I will question you, and you may answer me.
‘ʻOku ou kole kiate koe ke ke fanongo mai, pea te u lea: te u ʻeke kiate koe, pea ke fakahā mai kiate au.’
5 By paying attention with the ear, I have heard you, but now my eye sees you.
Kuo u fanongo kiate koe ʻi he fanongo ʻoe telinga: ka ko eni kuo mamata ʻe hoku mata kiate koe.
6 Therefore, I find myself reprehensible, and I will do penance in embers and ashes.
Ko ia ʻoku ou fehiʻa ai kiate au, ʻo fakatomala ʻi he efu mo e efuefu.”
7 But after the Lord had finished speaking these words to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Themanite: My wrath has been kindled against you, and against your two friends, because you have not been speaking correctly in my eyes, as my servant Job has done.
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.
8 Therefore, have seven bulls and seven rams brought to you, and go to my servant Job, and offer these as a holocaust for yourselves. But also, my servant Job will pray for you; I will accept his face, so that foolishness will not be imputed to you. For you have not been speaking correctly about me, as my servant Job has done.
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.”
9 So Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Zophar the Naamathite departed, and they did just as the Lord had spoken to them, and the Lord accepted the face of Job.
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.
10 Likewise, the Lord was moved by the repentance of Job, when he prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave to Job twice as much as he had before.
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.
11 Yet all his brethren came to him, and all his sisters, and everyone who had known him before, and they ate bread with him in his house. They also shook their heads over him and comforted him, because of all the bad things that God had inflicted on him. And each one of them gave him one female sheep, and one earring of gold.
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.
12 And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job even more than his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand pairs of oxen, and a thousand she-donkeys.
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.
13 And he had seven sons and three daughters.
Pea naʻa ne maʻu foki ʻae foha ʻe toko fitu mo e ʻofefine ʻe toko tolu.
14 And he called the name of one, Daylight, and the name of the second, Cinnamon, and the name of the third, Horn of Cosmetics.
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.
15 And, in the whole world, there were not found women so beautiful as the daughters of Job. And so their father gave them an inheritance along with their brothers.
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.
16 But Job lived long after these events, for a hundred and forty years, and he saw his children, and his children’s children, all the way to the fourth generation,
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.
17 and he died an old man and full of days.
Pea naʻe pekia ʻa Siope, kuo motuʻa mo fonu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho.
