约伯记 42
1 约伯回答耶和华说：
And Job answereth Jehovah and saith: —
2 我知道，你万事都能做； 你的旨意不能拦阻。
Thou hast known that [for] all things Thou art able, And not withheld from Thee is [any] device:
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] this, hiding counsel without knowledge?' Therefore, I have declared, and understand not, Too wonderful for me, and I know not.
4 求你听我，我要说话； 我问你，求你指示我。
'Hear, I pray thee, and I — I do speak, I ask thee, and cause thou 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 Thee, And now mine eye hath seen Thee.
6 因此我厌恶自己， 在尘土和炉灰中懊悔。
Therefore do I loathe [it], And I have repented 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 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 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 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 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 Jehovah hath spoken unto them; and Jehovah doth accept 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 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 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 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 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 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 他也有七个儿子，三个女儿。
And he hath 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 calleth the name of the one 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 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 此后，约伯又活了一百四十年，得见他的儿孙，直到四代。
And Job liveth after this a hundred and forty years, and seeth 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 dieth, aged and satisfied [with] days.
