Job 42
1 A Job ovako odgovori Jahvi:
And Job said in answer to the Lord,
2 “Ja znadem, moć je tvoja bezgranična: što god naumiš, to izvesti možeš.
I see that you are able to do every thing, and to give effect to all your designs.
3 Tko je taj koji riječima bezumnim zamračuje božanski promisao? Govorah stoga, ali ne razumjeh, o čudesima meni neshvatljivim.
Who is this who makes dark the purpose of God by words without knowledge? For I have been talking without knowledge about wonders not to be searched out.
4 O, poslušaj me, pusti me da zborim: ja ću te pitat', a ti me pouči.
Give ear to me, and I will say what is in my mind; I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers.
5 Po čuvenju tek poznavah te dosad, ali sada te oči moje vidješe.
Word of you had come to my ears, but now my eye has seen you.
6 Sve riječi svoje zato ja poričem i kajem se u prahu i pepelu.”
For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.
7 Kada Jahve izgovori Jobu ove riječi, reče on Elifazu Temancu: “Ti i tvoja dva prijatelja raspalili ste gnjev moj jer niste o meni onako pravo govorili kao moj sluga Job.
And it came about, after he had said these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, I am very angry with you and your two friends, because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.
8 Zato uzmite sada sedam junaca i sedam ovnova i pođite k mome sluzi Jobu, pa prinesite za sebe paljenicu, a sluga moj Job molit će se za vas. Imat ću obzira prema njemu i neću vam učiniti ništa nažao zato što niste o meni onako pravo govorili kao moj sluga Job.”
And now, take seven oxen and seven sheep, and go to my servant Job, and give a burned offering for yourselves, and my servant Job will make prayer for you, that I may not send punishment on you; because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.
9 Tada odoše Elifaz iz Temana, Bildad iz Šuaha i Sofar iz Naamata i učiniše kako im je Jahve zapovjedio. I Jahve se obazre na Joba.
And Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did as the Lord had said. And the Lord gave ear to Job.
10 I Jahve vrati Joba u prijašnje stanje jer se založio za svoje prijatelje, pa mu još udvostruči ono što je posjedovao.
And the Lord made up to Job for all his losses, after he had made prayer for his friends: and all Job had before was increased by the Lord twice as much.
11 Tad se vratiše Jobu sva njegova braća, i sve njegove sestre, i svi prijašnji znanci te su jeli s njim kruh u njegovoj kući, žaleći ga i tješeći zbog svih nevolja što ih Jahve bijaše na nj poslao. Svaki mu darova po jedan srebrnik i po jedan zlatan prsten.
And all his brothers and sisters, and his friends of earlier days, came and took food with him in his house; and made clear their grief for him, and gave him comfort for all the evil which the Lord had sent on him; and they all gave him a bit of money and a gold ring.
12 Jahve blagoslovi novo Jobovo stanje još više negoli prijašnje. Blago mu je brojilo četrnaest tisuća ovaca, šest tisuća deva, tisuću jarmova volova i tisuću magarica.
And the Lord's blessing was greater on the end of Job's life than on its start: and so he came to have fourteen thousand sheep and goats, and six thousand camels, and two thousand oxen, and a thousand she-asses.
13 Imao je sedam sinova i tri kćeri.
And he had seven sons and three daughters.
14 Prvoj nadjenu ime Jemima, drugoj Kasija, a trećoj Keren-Hapuk.
And he gave the first the name of Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch;
15 U svem onom kraju ne bijaše žena tako lijepih kao Jobove kćeri. I otac im dade jednaku baštinu kao i njihovoj braći.
And there were no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job in all the earth: and their father gave them a heritage among their brothers.
16 Poslije toga Job doživje dob od sto četrdeset godina i vidje djecu svoju i djecu svoje djece do četvrtog koljena.
And after this Job had a hundred and forty years of life, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
17 Potom umrije Job, star, nauživši se života.
And Job came to his end, old and full of days.
