約伯記 42
1 約伯回答上主說：
And Job answereth Jehovah and saith: —
2 我知道你事事都能，你所有的計劃，沒有不實現的。
Thou hast known that [for] all things Thou art able, And not withheld from Thee is [any] device:
3 是我以無智的話，使你的計劃模糊不明；是我說了無知的話，說了那些超越我智力的話。
'Who [is] this, hiding counsel without knowledge?' Therefore, I have declared, and understand not, Too wonderful for me, and I know not.
4 請你聽我發言；我求你指教我。
'Hear, I pray thee, and I — I do speak, I ask thee, and cause thou me to know.'
5 以前我只聽見了有關你的事，現今我親眼見了你。
By the hearing of the ear I heard Thee, And now mine eye hath seen Thee.
6 為此，我收回我所說過的話，坐在灰塵中懺悔。
Therefore do I loathe [it], And I have repented on dust and ashes.
7 上主對約伯說完這些話，就對特曼人厄里法次說：「我應向你和你的兩個友人發怒，因為你們講論我，不如我僕約伯講論的正確。
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 現在你們要牽七頭公牛，和七隻公羊到我僕約伯那裏，叫他為你們奉獻全燔祭，也叫他為你們祈禱，因為我要看他的情面，不懲罰你們的糊塗，因為你們講論我，不如我僕約伯講的正確。」
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 於是，特曼人厄里法次、叔亞人彼耳達得、納阿瑪人左法爾依照上主所吩咐的作了；上主就看了約伯的情面，饒恕了他們。
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 約伯為他的朋友祈禱之後，上主就恢復了約伯原有的狀況，還照約伯以前所有的，加倍地賜給了他。
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 約伯的兄弟和姊妹，並以前相識的人都來看望他，在他家中同他一起用飯；對於上主降於他的一切災禍，都向他表示同情，安慰他；每人還贈給他一枚金幣和一個金戒指。
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 上主賜給約伯以後的福分，遠勝過以前所有的；他擁有一萬四千隻羊，六千匹駱駝，一千對牛，一千頭母驢。
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 他又生了七個兒子和三個女兒。
And he hath seven sons and three daughters;
14 他給長女起名叫耶米瑪，次女叫刻漆雅，三女叫刻楞哈普客。
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 那地方的女子沒有比約伯的女兒更美麗的；她們的父親也使她們和兄弟們一樣承受家產。
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 以後，約伯又活了一百四十歲，見了他的兒子、孫子，直到第四代。
And Job liveth after this a hundred and forty years, and seeth his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations;
17 約伯壽高年老，已享天年，遂與世長辭。
and Job dieth, aged and satisfied [with] days.
