Job 42
1 Then Job replied to the LORD:
約伯回答耶和華說：
2 “I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted.
我知道，你萬事都能做； 你的旨意不能攔阻。
3 You asked, ‘Who is this who conceals My counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.
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。
4 You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak. I will question you, and you shall inform Me.’
求你聽我，我要說話； 我問你，求你指示我。
5 My ears had heard of You, but now my eyes have seen You.
我從前風聞有你， 現在親眼看見你。
6 Therefore I retract my words, and I repent in dust and ashes.”
因此我厭惡自己， 在塵土和爐灰中懊悔。
7 After the LORD had spoken these words to Job, He said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and your two friends. For you have not spoken about Me accurately, as My servant Job has.
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。
8 So now, take seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. Then My servant Job will pray for you, for I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken accurately about Me, as My servant Job has.”
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。」
9 So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD had told them; and the LORD accepted Job’s request.
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。
10 After Job had prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his prosperity and doubled his former possessions.
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。
11 All his brothers and sisters and prior acquaintances came and dined with him in his house. They consoled him and comforted him over all the adversity that the LORD had brought upon him. And each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring.
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。
12 So the LORD blessed Job’s latter days more than his first. He owned 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys.
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。
13 And he also had seven sons and three daughters.
他也有七個兒子，三個女兒。
14 He named his first daughter Jemimah, his second Keziah, and his third Keren-happuch.
他給長女起名叫耶米瑪，次女叫基洗亞，三女叫基連‧哈樸。
15 No women as beautiful as Job’s daughters could be found in all the land, and their father granted them an inheritance among their brothers.
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。
16 After this, Job lived 140 years and saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.
此後，約伯又活了一百四十年，得見他的兒孫，直到四代。
17 And so Job died, old and full of years.
這樣，約伯年紀老邁，日子滿足而死。
