约伯记 42
1 约伯回答耶和华说：
Then Job answered and said to the Lord,
2 我知道，你万事都能做； 你的旨意不能拦阻。
I know that you can do all things, and nothing is impossible with you.
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。
For who is he that hides counsel from you? or who keeps back his words, and thinks to hide them from you? and who will tell me what I knew not, great and wonderful things which I understood not?
4 求你听我，我要说话； 我问你，求你指示我。
But hear me, O Lord, that I also may speak: and I will ask you, and do you teach me.
5 我从前风闻有你， 现在亲眼看见你。
I have heard the report of you by the ear before; but now mine eye has seen you.
6 因此我厌恶自己， 在尘土和炉灰中懊悔。
Therefore I have counted myself vile, and have fainted: and I esteem myself 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 the Lord had spoken all these words to Job, [that] the Lord said to Eliphaz the Thaemanite, You have sinned, and your two friends: for you have not said anything true before me, as my servant Job [has].
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。”
Now then take seven bullocks, and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and he shall offer a burnt offering for you. And my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will only accept him: for but his sake, I would have destroyed you, for you have not spoken the truth against 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。
So Eliphaz the Thaemanite, and Baldad the Sauchite, and Sophar the Minaean, went and did as the Lord commanded them: and he pardoned their sin for the sake of 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 the Lord prospered Job: and when he prayed also for his friends, he forgave them [their] sin: and the Lord gave Job twice as much, even the double of what 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 his sisters heard all that had happened to him, and they came to him, and [so did] all that had known him from the first: and they ate and drank with him, and comforted him, and wondered at all that the Lord had brought upon him: and each one gave him a lamb, and four drachmas' weight of gold, even of unstamped [gold].
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 the Lord blessed the latter end of Job, [more] than the beginning: and his cattle were fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, a thousand she-asses of the pastures.
13 他也有七个儿子，三个女儿。
And there were born to him 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 first Day, and the second Casia, and the third Amalthaea's horn.
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 there were not found in comparison with the daughters of Job, fairer [women] than they in all the world: and their father gave them an 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 [his] affliction a hundred and seventy years: and all the years he lived were two hundred and forty: and Job saw his sons and his sons' sons, the fourth generation.
17 这样，约伯年纪老迈，日子满足而死。
And Job died, an old man and full of days.
