约伯记 42
1 约伯回答耶和华说：
And Job answered Jehovah and said,
2 我知道，你万事都能做； 你的旨意不能拦阻。
I know that thou canst do everything, and that thou canst be hindered in no thought of thine.
3 谁用无知的言语使你的旨意隐藏呢？ 我所说的是我不明白的； 这些事太奇妙，是我不知道的。
Who is he that obscureth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered what I did not understand; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4 求你听我，我要说话； 我问你，求你指示我。
Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and inform me.
5 我从前风闻有你， 现在亲眼看见你。
I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now mine eye seeth thee:
6 因此我厌恶自己， 在尘土和炉灰中懊悔。
Wherefore I abhor [myself], and repent in dust and ashes.
7 耶和华对约伯说话以后，就对提幔人以利法说：“我的怒气向你和你两个朋友发作，因为你们议论我不如我的仆人约伯说的是。
And it came to pass after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, that Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, Mine anger is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken rightly of me, like my servant Job.
8 现在你们要取七只公牛，七只公羊，到我仆人约伯那里去，为自己献上燔祭，我的仆人约伯就为你们祈祷。我因悦纳他，就不按你们的愚妄办你们。你们议论我，不如我的仆人约伯说的是。”
And now, take for yourselves 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: lest I deal with you [after your] folly, for ye have not spoken of me rightly, like my servant Job.
9 于是提幔人以利法、书亚人比勒达、拿玛人琐法照着耶和华所吩咐的去行；耶和华就悦纳约伯。
Then Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did according as Jehovah had said unto them; and Jehovah accepted Job.
10 约伯为他的朋友祈祷。耶和华就使约伯从苦境转回，并且耶和华赐给他的比他从前所有的加倍。
And Jehovah turned the captivity of Job, when he had prayed for his friends; and Jehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11 约伯的弟兄、姊妹，和以先所认识的人都来见他，在他家里一同吃饭；又论到耶和华所降与他的一切灾祸，都为他悲伤安慰他。每人也送他一块银子和一个金环。
And all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house, and they condoled with him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him; and every one gave him a piece of money, and every one a golden ring.
12 这样，耶和华后来赐福给约伯比先前更多。他有一万四千羊，六千骆驼，一千对牛，一千母驴。
And 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.
13 他也有七个儿子，三个女儿。
And he had seven sons and three daughters.
14 他给长女起名叫耶米玛，次女叫基洗亚，三女叫基连·哈朴。
And he called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
15 在那全地的妇女中找不着像约伯的女儿那样美貌。她们的父亲使她们在弟兄中得产业。
And in all the land were no women found [so] fair as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
16 此后，约伯又活了一百四十年，得见他的儿孙，直到四代。
And Job lived after this a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations.
17 这样，约伯年纪老迈，日子满足而死。
And Job died, old and full of days.
