Job 42
1 And Job said in answer to the Lord,
そこでヨブは主に答えて言った、
2 I see that you are able to do every thing, and to give effect to all your designs.
「わたしは知ります、あなたはすべての事をなすことができ、またいかなるおぼしめしでも、あなたにできないことはないことを。
3 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.
『無知をもって神の計りごとをおおうこの者はだれか』。それゆえ、わたしはみずから悟らない事を言い、みずから知らない、測り難い事を述べました。
4 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.
『聞け、わたしは語ろう、わたしはあなたに尋ねる、わたしに答えよ』。
5 Word of you had come to my ears, but now my eye has seen you.
わたしはあなたの事を耳で聞いていましたが、今はわたしの目であなたを拝見いたします。
6 For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.
それでわたしはみずから恨み、ちり灰の中で悔います」。
7 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.
主はこれらの言葉をヨブに語られて後、テマンびとエリパズに言われた、「わたしの怒りはあなたとあなたのふたりの友に向かって燃える。あなたがたが、わたしのしもべヨブのように正しい事をわたしについて述べなかったからである。
8 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.
それで今、あなたがたは雄牛七頭、雄羊七頭を取って、わたしのしもべヨブの所へ行き、あなたがたのために燔祭をささげよ。わたしのしもべヨブはあなたがたのために祈るであろう。わたしは彼の祈を受けいれるによって、あなたがたの愚かを罰することをしない。あなたがたはわたしのしもべヨブのように正しい事をわたしについて述べなかったからである」。
9 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.
そこでテマンびとエリパズ、シュヒびとビルダデ、ナアマびとゾパルは行って、主が彼らに命じられたようにしたので、主はヨブの祈を受けいれられた。
10 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.
ヨブがその友人たちのために祈ったとき、主はヨブの繁栄をもとにかえし、そして主はヨブのすべての財産を二倍に増された。
11 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.
そこで彼のすべての兄弟、すべての姉妹、および彼の旧知の者どもことごとく彼のもとに来て、彼と共にその家で飲み食いし、かつ主が彼にくだされたすべての災について彼をいたわり、慰め、おのおの銀一ケシタと金の輪一つを彼に贈った。
12 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.
主はヨブの終りを初めよりも多く恵まれた。彼は羊一万四千頭、らくだ六千頭、牛一千くびき、雌ろば一千頭をもった。
13 And he had seven sons and three daughters.
また彼は男の子七人、女の子三人をもった。
14 And he gave the first the name of Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch;
彼はその第一の娘をエミマと名づけ、第二をケジアと名づけ、第三をケレン・ハップクと名づけた。
15 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.
全国のうちでヨブの娘たちほど美しい女はなかった。父はその兄弟たちと同様に嗣業を彼らにも与えた。
16 And after this Job had a hundred and forty years of life, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
この後、ヨブは百四十年生きながらえて、その子とその孫と四代までを見た。
17 And Job came to his end, old and full of days.
ヨブは年老い、日満ちて死んだ。
