約伯記 42
1 約伯回答耶和華說：
And Job answers YHWH and says:
2 我知道，你萬事都能做； 你的旨意不能攔阻。
“You have known that [for] all things You are able, And no purpose is withheld from You.
3 誰用無知的言語使你的旨意隱藏呢？ 我所說的是我不明白的； 這些事太奇妙，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 求你聽我，我要說話； 我問你，求你指示我。
Please hear, and I speak; [You said], I ask you, and you cause Me to know.
5 我從前風聞有你， 現在親眼看見你。
By the hearing of the ear I heard You, And now my eye has seen You.
6 因此我厭惡自己， 在塵土和爐灰中懊悔。
Therefore I loathe [it], And I have sighed on dust and ashes.”
7 耶和華對約伯說話以後，就對提幔人以利法說：「我的怒氣向你和你兩個朋友發作，因為你們議論我不如我的僕人約伯說的是。
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 現在你們要取七隻公牛，七隻公羊，到我僕人約伯那裏去，為自己獻上燔祭，我的僕人約伯就為你們祈禱。我因悅納他，就不按你們的愚妄辦你們。你們議論我，不如我的僕人約伯說的是。」
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 於是提幔人以利法、書亞人比勒達、拿瑪人瑣法照着耶和華所吩咐的去行；耶和華就悅納約伯。
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 約伯為他的朋友祈禱。耶和華就使約伯從苦境轉回，並且耶和華賜給他的比他從前所有的加倍。
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 約伯的弟兄、姊妹，和以先所認識的人都來見他，在他家裏一同吃飯；又論到耶和華所降與他的一切災禍，都為他悲傷安慰他。每人也送他一塊銀子和一個金環。
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 這樣，耶和華後來賜福給約伯比先前更多。他有一萬四千羊，六千駱駝，一千對牛，一千母驢。
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 他也有七個兒子，三個女兒。
And he has seven sons and three daughters;
14 他給長女起名叫耶米瑪，次女叫基洗亞，三女叫基連‧哈樸。
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 在那全地的婦女中找不着像約伯的女兒那樣美貌。她們的父親使她們在弟兄中得產業。
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 此後，約伯又活了一百四十年，得見他的兒孫，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 這樣，約伯年紀老邁，日子滿足而死。
and Job dies, aged and satisfied [with] days.
