Job 42
1 And Job said in answer to the Lord,
Potem je Job odgovoril Gospodu in rekel:
2 I see that you are able to do every thing, and to give effect to all your designs.
»Vem, da lahko narediš vsako stvar in da nobena misel ne more biti zadržana pred teboj.
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.
Kdo je tisti, ki skriva nasvet brez spoznanja? Torej sem rekel, da ne razumem. Stvari zame prečudovite, ki jih nisem poznal.
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.
Prisluhni, rotim te in bom govoril. Zahteval bom od tebe in oznani mi.
5 Word of you had come to my ears, but now my eye has seen you.
Slišal sem o tebi po poslušanju svojega ušesa. Toda sedaj te vidi moje oko.
6 For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.
Torej preziram samega sebe in se kesam v prahu in pepelu.«
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.
To je bilo tako, da je potem, ko je Gospod te besede govoril Jobu, Gospod rekel Elifázu Temáncu: »Moj bes je vnet zoper tebe in zoper tvoja dva prijatelja, kajti o meni niste govorili stvari, ki je pravilna, kakor je [govoril] moj služabnik Job.
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.
Zatorej si vzemite k sebi sedem bikcev in sedem ovnov in pojdite k mojemu služabniku Jobu in zase darujte žgalno daritev, moj služabnik Job pa bo molil za vas, kajti njega bom sprejel, da ne bom z vami postopal po vaši neumnosti, v tem, da niste govorili o meni besede, ki je pravilna, kakor moj služabnik Job.«
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.
Tako so Elifáz Temánec, Bildád Suhéjec in Cofár Naámčan odšli in storili glede na to, kakor jim je Gospod zapovedal, Gospod pa je sprejel Joba.
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.
Gospod je obrnil Jobovo ujetništvo, ko je molil za svoje prijatelje. Gospod je dal Jobu tudi dvakrat toliko, kot je imel poprej.
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.
Potem so prišli k njemu vsi njegovi bratje in vse njegove sestre in vsi, ki so bili poprej izmed njegovih znancev in so v njegovi hiši z njim jedli kruh. Sočustvovali so in ga tolažili glede vsega zla, ki ga je Gospod privedel nadenj. Prav tako mu je vsak človek dal kos denarja in vsakdo uhan iz zlata.
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.
Tako je Gospod bolj blagoslovil Jobov poznejši konec kakor njegov začetek, kajti imel je štirinajst tisoč ovc, šest tisoč kamel, tisoč jarmov volov in tisoč oslic.
13 And he had seven sons and three daughters.
Imel je tudi sedem sinov in tri hčere.
14 And he gave the first the name of Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch;
Ime prve je imenoval Golobica, ime druge Dišavka in ime tretje Lepotica.
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.
Po vsej deželi ni bilo najti tako lepih žensk kakor Jobove hčere in njihov oče jim je dal dediščino med njihovimi brati.
16 And after this Job had a hundred and forty years of life, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
Potem je Job živel sto štirideset let in videl svoje sinove in svojih sinov sinove, celó štiri rodove.
17 And Job came to his end, old and full of days.
Tako je Job umrl, star in izpolnjen z dnevi.
