约伯记 42
1 约伯回答耶和华说：
And Job answers YHWH and says:
2 我知道，你万事都能做； 你的旨意不能拦阻。
“You have known that [for] all things You are able, And no purpose is withheld from 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。
[You said], Who [is] this hiding counsel without knowledge? Therefore, I have declared, and do not understand, Too wonderful for me, and I do not know.
4 求你听我，我要说话； 我问你，求你指示我。
Please hear, and I speak; [You said], I ask you, and you cause Me to know.
5 我从前风闻有你， 现在亲眼看见你。
By the hearing of the ear I heard You, And now my eye has seen You.
6 因此我厌恶自己， 在尘土和炉灰中懊悔。
Therefore I loathe [it], And I have sighed on 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 comes to pass after YHWH’s speaking these words to Job, that YHWH says to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My anger has burned against you and against your two friends, because you have not spoken correctly concerning 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 seven bullocks and seven rams for yourselves, and go to My servant Job, and you have caused a burnt-offering to ascend for yourselves; and Job My servant prays for you, for surely I accept his face, so as not to do folly with you, because you have not spoken correctly concerning Me, 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。
And they go—Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, Zophar the Naamathite—and do as YHWH has spoken to them; and YHWH accepts the face 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 YHWH has turned [to] the captivity of Job in his praying for his friends, and YHWH adds [to] all that Job has—to double.
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 brothers come to him, 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 calamity that YHWH had brought on him, and they each gave to him one kesitah, and each one ring of 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 YHWH has blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning, and he has fourteen thousand of a flock, and six thousand camels, and one thousand pairs of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.
13 他也有七个儿子，三个女儿。
And he has 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 calls the name of the first Jemima, and the name of the second Kezia, 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 there have not been found women [as] beautiful as the daughters of Job in all the land, and their father gives to them an inheritance in the midst of their brothers.
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 lives after this one hundred and forty years, and sees 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 dies, aged and satisfied [with] days.
