¹Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,

¹¶ A no ra ko Hopa ki a Ihowa; i mea ia,

²I know that thou canst do all things, And that no purpose of thine can be restrained.

²E mohio ana ahau e taea e koe nga mea katoa, a e kore tetahi whakaaro ou e taea te pehi.

³Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that which I understood not, Things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

³Ko 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.

⁴Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak; I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

⁴Tena ra, whakarongo, a ka korero ahau; ka ui ahau ki a koe, a mau e whakaatu mai ki ahau.

⁵I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; But now mine eye seeth thee:

⁵I rongo ahau ki a koe, he rongo na te taringa; tena ko tenei, ka kite a kanohi nei ahau i a koe,

⁶Wherefore I abhor [myself], And repent in dust and ashes.

⁶Na whakarihariha ana ahau ki ahau ano, a ka ripeneta i roto i te puehu, i te pungarehu.

⁷And it was so, that, after Jehovah had spoken these words unto Job, Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

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.

⁸Now therefore, take unto you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt-offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you; for him will I accept, that I deal not with you after your folly; for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

⁸Na 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.

⁹So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as Jehovah commanded them: and Jehovah accepted Job.

⁹Heoi 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.

¹⁰And Jehovah turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: and Jehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before.

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.

¹¹Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one a ring of gold.

¹¹Katahi 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.

¹²So Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

¹²Heoi 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.

¹³He had also seven sons and three daughters.

¹³Tokowhitu ano ana tama, tokotoru nga tamahine.

¹⁴And he called the name of the first, Jemimah: and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.

¹⁴A 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.

¹⁵And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.

¹⁵A 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.

¹⁶And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, [even] four generations.

¹⁶A 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.

¹⁷So Job died, being old and full of days.

¹⁷Heoi ka mate a Hopa, he koreheke, he maha hoki ona ra.
