Job 42
1 A Job ovako odgovori Jahvi:
And Job answered Jehovah and said,
2 “Ja znadem, moć je tvoja bezgranična: što god naumiš, to izvesti možeš.
I know that thou canst do everything, and that thou canst be hindered in no thought of thine.
3 Tko je taj koji riječima bezumnim zamračuje božanski promisao? Govorah stoga, ali ne razumjeh, o čudesima meni neshvatljivim.
Who is he that obscureth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered what I did not understand; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
4 O, poslušaj me, pusti me da zborim: ja ću te pitat', a ti me pouči.
Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and inform me.
5 Po čuvenju tek poznavah te dosad, ali sada te oči moje vidješe.
I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now mine eye seeth thee:
6 Sve riječi svoje zato ja poričem i kajem se u prahu i pepelu.”
Wherefore I abhor [myself], and repent in dust and ashes.
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 to pass after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, that Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, Mine anger is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken rightly of me, like my servant Job.
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 for yourselves seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt-offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you, for him will I accept: lest I deal with you [after your] folly, for ye have not spoken of me rightly, like my servant Job.
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.
Then Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did according as Jehovah had said unto them; and Jehovah accepted Job.
10 I Jahve vrati Joba u prijašnje stanje jer se založio za svoje prijatelje, pa mu još udvostruči ono što je posjedovao.
And Jehovah turned the captivity of Job, when he had prayed for his friends; and Jehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before.
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 brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house, and they condoled with him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him; and every one gave him a piece of money, and every one a golden 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 Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning; and he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of 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 called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of 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 in all the land were no women found [so] fair as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
16 Poslije toga Job doživje dob od sto četrdeset godina i vidje djecu svoju i djecu svoje djece do četvrtog koljena.
And Job lived after this a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations.
17 Potom umrije Job, star, nauživši se života.
And Job died, old and full of days.
